Zheng Yusheng is in the first line, but not in the top group.
He can have this price, and people who are stronger than him are even more dissatisfied, and this is money, who thinks it is too much money?
"Asia" set off a chain reaction, and actors flocked to it, putting some local invitations on the back burner. Local TV stations are also worried. The Chinese market is gone, and a large chunk of copyright exports will be lost, so they will inevitably have to reduce costs.
After such a drop, those top actors became even more indifferent.
In fact, it is a very common method, just like the Koreans harvesting persimmons in Weinan. Let you taste the benefits first, and then when the industry is tied to you, you will directly turn your back and deny others.
Of course, there is an additional variable now. Netflix and Hugelive are in South Korea at the same time, which is very interesting.
…………
The movie "Werewolves" is in intense preparation.
This film tells the story of when South Korea and North Korea were about to establish a unified government, the opposition forces launched a terrorist attack, and then the police special forces fought against the terrorists.
The subject of North and South Korea alone is enough to take a lifetime of filming.
If you divide it, you can shoot it, but if you unify it, you can shoot it even more, and you can eat it until you die.
With an investment of 16 billion won, about 95.44 million yuan, it is a rare large-scale production. The director wanted to ask Zheng Yusheng to play an important role. The talks were almost done, but he got a phone call and said he would think about it again.
Consider Xiba!
Who doesn't know that he is waiting for news about "Asia"? If he is confirmed to be chosen, Zheng Yusheng won't even take him back.
"Yusheng!"
"You and I have been friends for many years. The film "Werewolf" is great. It has a good subject matter, a good script, and a very capable director. You are paired with excellent actors. I sincerely hope that you can..."
"Brother, I have read the scripts of "Asia" and "Werewolf" over and over again. To be honest, I have never seen the kind of framework of "Asia" in Korea.
We used to be stuck on the peninsula, but now I want to go out and see."
"But our investment is 16 billion, 16 billion!"
"It's US$160 million, brother!"
"Well, I wish you good luck."
The producer hung up the phone, couldn't help but cursed, and said to the director: "It's no longer possible, let's find someone else."
"No, this role belongs to him!"
"Then what can you do if he doesn't want to come? You can't waste time delaying it. It will delay the production progress. That's not a trivial matter. It's up to you, either him or us."
"..."
The director was angry and depressed, with a familiar feeling of helplessness. Koreans have experienced this feeling many times with their American fathers.
Father as a mountain!
"I have to change people, but let me make it clear first that Zheng Yusheng is the best choice and someone else can play the role. I can't guarantee the effect."
“Then we have to take pictures!”
"well!"
The director and producer looked at each other and sighed together.
…
Zheng Yusheng felt that he had great hope and did not hesitate to give up another drama contract.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, news about "Asia" was still flying all over the sky, but there was still no conclusive result. When he asked repeatedly, they replied: "Inappropriate!"
Assy!
If it were an ordinary small company, he would definitely flip the table.
But now, let alone flipping the table, he could only walk away with the empty bowl and still smile.
And at this moment, after hearing the news, Netflix came running like a dog after finding a bone and offered an olive branch: "Hugelive doesn't want you, we do! We have a drama and the pay is very high, will you come?"
Of course I went.
Ever since, Zheng Yusheng went full circle and went to film for Netflix.
Has Hugelive suffered a loss?
No.
Neither does Netflix.
Who is affected? Local producers.
When Jin Minyong received the news, he didn't take it seriously. This time he cheated on Zheng Yusheng. Next time he comes to see him, he will definitely be willing to ignore the class gap.
Hugelive and Netflix started a tug-of-war little by little based on this, grabbing local resources and cutting off local industries.
Over time, it will naturally hollow out South Korea.
Jin Minyong is not afraid of Netflix. Hugelive came in first, has a membership base, and has good works. Why should Netflix pursue it?
In short, he kept stirring things up like a shit stirrer.
When it was almost done, he announced the candidates: the actor was Lee Jun-ki, and the actress was Han Hyo-joo, who was hand-picked by Boss Yu. Both were paid 100 million won per episode.
At this point, the starring cast of "Asia" has been finalized: Donnie Yen, Janice Man, Shota Sometani, Masami Nagasawa, Lee Jun-ki, Han Hyo-joo, plus some new, Malaysian, and Thai actors, as well as Western actors.
Han Hyo-joo is 30 years old this year and can be described as the destined daughter in the Korean film and television industry.
She debuted at the age of 16. She is beautiful and has a good figure. She has never lacked resources. She won the Baeksang Arts Award and the Blue Dragon Award at a young age. If compared to the best actress in China, she is equivalent to Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun in China.
She played the role of the surviving little girl in "Train to Busan" and the heroine of "Asia".
The general story is that not long after Train to Busan, a wave of corpses broke out in the Korean Peninsula. The little girl fled to Hong Kong with the people and was adopted by Donnie Yen.
Donnie Yen is 54 years old and can play a father and daughter.
He is the leader of the protagonist group and leads a group of people to cause trouble on the map of East Asia. Wen Yongshan and Li Junji are good at fighting, Masami Nagasawa is good at beauty and stealing, and Shota Sometani is a technical geek.
A group of people went to South Korea, which was occupied by zombies, to retrieve top-secret information related to the United States, but were eventually wiped out by nuclear bombs.
The nature of this drama is the same as "American Master".
The scale is large, the pornography is invincible, the subject matter is fierce, and it is full of malice towards the United States. Judging from the feedback from Hugelive, countries bullied by the United States like to watch this kind of thing.
…………
When the Belt and Road Conference is held in May, TikTok must be launched before that, otherwise Yao Yuan will not be able to speak.
It doesn’t need to be global, it’s OK if North America is launched first.
After all, in the perception of most people, including Yao Yuan himself: going overseas is equivalent to going to the United States. If a product does not develop well in the United States, it cannot be called good at all.
"Kyle Irving!"
"LeBron James!"
"Kevin Durant!"
"Stephen Curry!"
At the Pelicans' home court, the Smoothie King Center, the commentator enthusiastically introduced the starting players of both teams. The audience cheered without interruption. Yao Yuan felt a little hot sitting in the VIP seat.
He started the year quite busy, running around here and there, and now he came to the United States to personally host TikTok, just in time for the NBA All-Star Game.
Everyone on the court is familiar to him, Antetokounmpo, Jimmy Butler, Harden, Leonard... In his previous life, since Yao Ming retired, he rarely watched the entire game.
Instead, I watch NBA slices and news on various platforms to know the general situation every year.
But it's just a familiarity, not someone he likes. His love for basketball is the same as music, and it stays in the era of Iverson, Kobe, Nash, and Garnett.
"Mr. Yao?"
"Um?"
Yao Yuan was watching the players taking warm-up shots. An audience member who was also a VIP seat arrived belatedly. When he arrived, he looked at him and said hello.
"Boss Cai!"
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, how can I be the boss in front of you?"
"No, you entered the industry much earlier than me, you are the senior."
Yao Yuan was very surprised, but not so surprised when he thought about it, and shook hands with the opponent. This man was a basketball fan, and later bought the Nets - Cai Chongxin.

1055 has been released, and I still owe one chapter.)
