Regarding CJ's attempt to take advantage of the THAAD crisis to acquire io, the long-range response was to ignore it, not respond, and delay it as long as possible.

io has fully shifted to streaming media, planning and shooting self-made content for Tudou (Korea).

But CJ was determined to swallow up io and put pressure on him frequently.

Faced with the opposition to the acquisition by its domestic peers in South Korea, CJ would not pay any heed.

After the beginning of the new year, CJ even used its own energy to try to force io to agree to the acquisition through administrative orders.

Relevant departments were asked by foreign reporters at a press conference about CJ's desire to acquire io.

The spokesman called CJ's behavior "fishing in troubled waters."

"We firmly oppose this kind of acquisition."

"Resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of our companies in South Korea."

However, the effect of this statement was limited. CJ and the others continued to put pressure on the company and attempted to fully acquire io at a low price of US$325 million.

Zhou Tiedong and Li Ying angrily chose to return to China, and the negotiations between the two parties were suspended again.

Even Tudou (Korea) has to re-evaluate its cooperation with TVN pay channel (a pay TV channel under CJ) and plans to contact two cable TV stations JTBel A.

Although Tudou (Korea) was not directly affected by this incident, it was so deeply involved that it would inevitably be affected to some extent.

In fact, what the spokesperson said makes sense. Doing so will indeed affect South Korea's international goodwill.

If Tudou hesitates, Netflix will follow suit.

Tudou quickly captured the Korean market with the help of io's platform. Now Netflix and Tudou have reached in-depth cooperation in Asia. If Tudou is too deeply affected by this incident, it will inevitably affect Netflix's business development in South Korea.

Sometimes I have to admit the fact that sometimes white skin really works!

There are some things that Tudou and io don’t have the ability to say, but Netflix does.

Netflix intends to bail out io in order to promote cooperation in South Korea. I don’t know what means they used. CJ has really become less aggressive in a few days, but still does not give up its willingness to acquire, and even calmly re-invited Yuanyuan to join

Korean business talks.

This includes the mediation of Netflix and the mediation of South Korea's three major traditional TV stations.

io provides 5-7 TV series to the three major TV stations every year. Not to say that every one of them is a hit - that's not how cheating works, but every one of them is an excellent production above the standard.

If CJ really pushes io into a hurry and makes it really give up traditional TV stations and fully turn to streaming media and pay TV stations, they will be the ones who suffer.

The CJ family has a great business, but it cannot dominate Korea with one hand, and has to make compromises in the face of pressure from many parties.

But the strategy of the remote headquarters remains unchanged: you can talk if you want, but don’t express your position, and delay as long as you can.

Because in China, there is a news that is more eye-catching than this.

Fan Xiaopang has become a judge of the Cannes main competition unit!

On the 25th, the 70th Cannes International Film Festival announced the jury lineup for this year’s main competition unit on its official website.

Spanish director Pedro Almodovar serves as the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit. The jury members include Fan Xiaopang, Park Chan-wook, Jessica Chastain, Paolo Sorrentino, Will Smith, Maren

Ade and French actress Agnès Chavillier (replacing Léa Seydoux) and French composer Gabriel Jade.

Many people were upset.

"Little Fatty is also a thousand-year-old daughter-in-law who finally became a mother-in-law. After so many years on the red carpet, she finally became a judge."

"The power of capital. Without a large part of the income from the film market, it would be difficult for Cannes to be so majestic, to use extreme luxury and taste to welcome film VIPs from all over the world, and to establish its own aristocratic atmosphere. Especially this year.

, is the 70th anniversary of the historic Cannes Film Festival. How can the Chinese market, known as the world's largest film box office export in the future, be absent? The organizer wants to start with Chinese films, but domestic directors who are regular guests at Cannes have not made new films recently.

After thinking about it, the organizers can only make fuss about the judges. Fan Xiaopang, a figure with his own traffic and extremely controversial, is simply the best choice. During the film festival, there will be a large number of reporters coming, China

The public opinion will also be turbulent because of her. Choosing Fan Xiaopang this time has to be said to be a clever move by the French organizers."

Fan Xiaopang's team is a marketing genius. After Cannes confirmed the news, press releases were flying all over the sky.

It also caused dissatisfaction among netizens: "Being a judge is a good thing, but in my impression, other Chinese-speaking filmmakers who have been judges in Cannes before have never had such notices flying all over the place. It feels like they have skyrocketed as soon as they become a judge. This is like being an Oscar judge and awarding guest."

Such things are not allowed to be published all over the world."

But there are also fans who support her, which is a good thing after all: "Chinese people will never see her achievements, no, she pretends not to see them, but she is so good and so determined, and there is nothing wrong with bringing glory to the country."

"The 50th anniversary of Gong Li, the 60th anniversary of Maggie Cheung, the 70th anniversary of Fan Xiaopang, Heizi will hang himself if he refuses to accept it."

To be fair, if Fan Xiaopang's election as a judge can cause such a big controversy, "China's public opinion will also be in a turmoil because of her" is really not wrong at all.

Liu Yifei was a little bit amused after reading the news, and also felt that Fan Xiaopang published too many press releases.

"When you were the chairman of Cannes, you weren't as aggressive as she is now."

"No." Cheng Yu'an held her daughter and sat in front of the TV playing games, "I'm not as moved as she is."

Liu Yifei is still looking through the news about this year's Cannes: "There is not a single domestic film in the main competition this year."

Cheng Yu'an said: "If "Three Billboards" hadn't been booked by Venice early, Director Zhang would definitely go to Cannes. No matter what, I would win the Palme d'Or for Director Zhang and get him three Grand Slams."

Zhang Yimou won the Golden Bear and the Golden Lion, but was missing the Golden Palm.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "The only thing you need is the golden bear."

Berlin sends him invitations every year, but Cheng Yuan never has time to go.

"I'm not obsessed with collecting awards. It all depends on timing and fate." Good stories and good books are rare for any director.

Liu Yifei asked again: "Are you going this year?"

"I won't go, but the company sends people to the trading market every year, and "Painted Skin 4" and "Thieves 3" will also be released in Cannes." The two films have now become popular, and the two films are also favored by many international buyers.

Choosing to release it on such a big platform like Cannes couldn't be better.

"Then you'll have to take care of your daughter." Liu Yifei was going to promote the brand's website.

"Isn't it okay if I don't take it with me?" The daughter nestled in his arms and watched him operate the game. She liked the colorful colors on the screen.
