"That's not bad. If you are the spokesperson of Double Top Luxury, it's quite impressive~"
When Chi Jingxu heard this, he looked up and down at his brother with surprised eyes.
When Chi Jingyuan chose to debut as an idol in a boy band, even though they had family filters, they felt that Chi Jingyuan could only do well in this peninsula with the help of his family.
I didn’t think he could make a splash overseas.
Forget it on the peninsula, it really doesn't matter if they are in Europe, especially in the fashion circle. Being so sought after by these luxury goods is only the result of Chi Jingyuan's own efforts.
Chi Xianjing also looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled happily.
Ji Xianjing still has a low opinion of idols, and she usually doesn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry in Peninsula. She knows the work of Ji Jingyuan best, and the one she is most familiar with is GUCCI’s Asia-Pacific spokesperson title.
Others are too lazy to understand, but at least they understand luxury goods.
Although they were not excited or anything, they were still very happy to see their brother achieve such an achievement.
"I happen to be going to the Fashion Week in a few days. Let's have a meal together then..."
Chi Xianjing and Chi Jingyuan made an appointment for the next few days, and then looked at Chi Jingxu: "Are you going?"
She is a VIP guest of several luxury brands here in Peninsula, and every time there is a big show, the brand will take the initiative to send invitations.
"I won't go..."
Chi Jingxu waved his hand, he was not interested at all.
If you have this time, why not invite some good buddies to visit the club.
But just as he had this idea, he noticed that Chi Jingyuan opposite him glanced at him at the right time. The look in his eyes seemed to see through his thoughts. Chi Jingxu didn't feel embarrassed at all, but looked at him.
The younger brother raised his eyebrows, as if to celebrate that the two of them had a good understanding.
After chatting for a while, the topic was deliberately led by Chi Jingxu, and the subject of Chi Jingyuan's relationship came up.
He looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, how long have you been dating your neon little girlfriend now? It's not that short, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Chi Xianjing also looked up.
Because although they are usually too busy and don't see each other much, they actually care about Chi Jingyuan.
However, Chi Jingyuan has done well in his career and has graduated from school. They also understand Chi Jingyuan's living habits, and he usually keeps a low profile.
Then I can only care about my love life... Even if there is nothing to care about, listening to stories can relieve my boredom.
"Um……"
Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him at first, but when he saw the eldest sister's curious eyes, he could only ponder for a moment and said, "It's been more than half a year."
It’s easy to remember the time when he and Minami dated. The Summer Fireworks Festival on August 15th was a very special and meaningful day.
However, Chi Jingyuan was also a little surprised when he said it...More than half a year had passed without him realizing it. He didn't even feel that time passed so fast.
"It's been so long? It doesn't fit your personality very well. Didn't you always get tired of dating girls after two or three months? It's actually been so long this time?"
Chi Jingxu was immediately surprised when he heard that it had been more than half a year: "Last time I heard from Noona that you brought the girl home? This is rare, it won't..."
He looked at his brother who seemed to have changed strangely, and asked tentatively: "You don't... really like me, do you?"
Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyes, and when he was about to say something, Chi Jingxu asked himself again and continued: "It doesn't look like it... I searched for photos before, and they don't look that beautiful..."
"Could it be..." As he said that, he looked over with a bit of joking: "Could it be that something has happened and you can't get rid of it?"
Before Chi Jingyuan could get angry, he shook his head again: "It shouldn't be~...Nuna, you have seen that girl, how do you feel??"
Chi Jingxu was obviously interested in the girl who had been dating his younger brother for more than half a year, so he immediately looked at his eldest sister and asked.
"Did you say Mina xi?"
Chi Xianjing gently wiped her mouth with a tissue and ended her meal. After thinking about it, she calmly commented: "The family is actually quite good, and the child who was influenced by it is also very well-educated. He is quite temperamental.
Very well-behaved, too.”
Chi Jingyuan was slightly surprised by the eldest sister's evaluation... She originally thought that the awkward encounter last time would give her a bad impression of Mingjing Nan, but she didn't expect the evaluation to be so high.
Also, Ming Jingnan comes from a good family, and her father is a medical professor, which can be regarded as a combination of a wealthy family and a scholarly family. Although it is far inferior to his family, girls from this background are most attracted to the concept of eldest sister.
Slightly older and well-established chaebol appetite.
"and……"
She glanced at Chi Jingyuan, "And it can be seen that the girl has no temper at all because of this boy Jingyuan, and all her thoughts are tied to him."
"pity……"
After saying that, the eldest sister thought of something else and shook her head: "If it's not a career, I think that child is really suitable for marriage."
Forehead……
Why did you suddenly mention getting married?
After hearing the last comment, Chi Jingyuan shook his head helplessly.
It's not that I really thought about marrying Najing Nan, but I feel a little helpless about the contempt for my career that I have inadvertently revealed.
"Hey, the evaluation is quite high? Then I'm really interested in meeting you."
When Chi Jingxu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chi Jingyuan with interest, "No wonder you were able to date for so long this time. I thought you had changed your gender..."
Regardless of the impatient look Chi Jingyuan looked at, he continued to talk to himself: "But neon women are indeed a little different from peninsula women. Although they sometimes seem a bit boring, the smell of resignation in them is indeed
It makes a man feel like he is an emperor, which is very enjoyable and even reluctant to leave."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'm telling you..." He blinked at Chi Jingyuan, and approached as if to remind him: "Don't look at those neon lights.
Although Hong women pretend to be strong on the outside, in fact, most of their temperaments are relatively weak inside. This is the nature cultivated by social atmosphere and form... As long as she really likes you, if you are stronger, even if you have other
She can tolerate her girlfriend, this kind of girl is the most suitable..."
He commented on the character of neon girls from a high position, with a very experienced look, and it seemed that he had made friends with at least two digits of neon girls.
However, after Chi Jingyuan heard him arguing for a long time, he couldn't bear it any longer. He frowned and looked over: "Repay the emperor... If you think it's okay, stay together. If you think it's boring, then separate. Just let nature take its course.
What are you worrying about there?"
"hehe."
Seeing that her brother was finally a little annoyed, Chi Xianjing couldn't help but laugh: "Do you know why he always wants to talk to you about this?"
The eldest sister covered her mouth with her hands and broke the news to Chi Jingyuan as if revealing a secret: "Because my parents are urging him to get married recently. I heard they are quite tough..."
Chi Jingyuan suddenly understood.
He said why did the topic of marriage come up...
As soon as he heard this, Chi Jingyuan's mood improved instantly, and he looked at Chi Jingxu with a smile. The second brother's indifference and provocation just now seemed to disappear. Feeling Chi Jingyuan's smile, he suddenly became
It became boring.
"Congratulations, congratulations~" Chi Jingyuan bowed his hands directly, with a face full of joy.
"It's not a big deal...and don't be complacent, you will have this day sooner or later."
"Then I guess you can't see it."
…………
Although it seems that he and his second brother are about to get into a fight without even saying a few words, in fact this is just a habit of the two brothers getting along, a way of expressing their feelings and kindness.
He is his biological brother. If it had been anyone else, Chi Jingxu's chin would have been raised to the sky. He was so arrogant that he wouldn't even look at anyone in the eyes or even say a word to you.
Chi Jingyuan actually enjoyed the atmosphere and time spent with his family. Unfortunately, everyone was busy with work and there were not many opportunities to spend time together. After dinner, his sister and brother left and went to work.
And Chi Jingyuan also had to go to an appointment.
During the "Goblin" celebration party last week, tvN producer Yin Xialin made an appointment with him to introduce him to a person who is said to be one of the people in charge of Netflix Peninsula. After previous communication, the appointment was made this afternoon. The place was found by Yin Xialin.
, in a cafe near the tvN headquarters.
"Just over an hour has passed, and the news about your college graduation, Jingyuan, has already reached the top of the hot search list." After Chi Jingyuan got into the car, Park Jae-hyun said casually while driving.
"What do you say on the Internet?" Chi Jingyuan was a little full after eating, so he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"I'm curious how you can be so popular and have such a busy schedule and still be able to complete your studies. There are also people who say, 'You are the benchmark for Peninsula artists.' Anyway, they are mostly praise, because your enrollment process is almost always public, so although you were mentioned earlier
There was a case of artists falsifying their academic qualifications, but no one questioned you."
Park Jae-hyun had obviously just studied it, and said with a familiar smile: "People in our country attach great importance to academic qualifications, and even a black man will not say anything about it."
"Jingyuan, you are now among the group with the highest academic qualifications in the entire entertainment industry, right?"
"It's not even close." Chi Jingyuan chuckled and shook his head slightly.
It was just an academic degree, he really didn't think it was anything.
However, if you were placed in the idol circle among high school and junior high school students...he would really be the top one.
"By the way." Just as he was talking, Park Jae-hyun remembered something: "In addition to the information I found for you last time, I also found some additional information. Jingyuan, you can take a look. It might be useful later.
"
"Oh well."
When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he shook his head, picked up a folder next to him, opened it and read it.
After hearing Yin Xialin say that people from Netflix wanted to meet him last time, Chi Jingyuan paid attention, and then asked Park Jae-hyun to find relevant information about Netflix on the peninsula.
Netflix's English name is flix. It is a subscription-based streaming media platform. Simply put, its main job is to acquire or produce some film and television content, including TV series, movie variety shows, etc., and put them on its own platform to attract viewers to subscribe.
Members watch.
Since its establishment in 1997, it has become one of the largest online streaming platforms in the Americas. Since 2015, it has begun global deployment and has entered Australia, New Zealand and other countries, including the Asian market.
"Before coming to the peninsula, Netflix first went to Neon in Asia to develop. It was not very popular at first. The filming of the variety show "Duplex" gained a little popularity, but other aspects of development have not been very smooth.
"
"It wasn't until the success of last year's "Hanabi" that it received a relatively strong response. Have you watched it? No? Haha, I haven't watched it either... But overall this drama is not a success. Neon's traditional TV station
The market is huge, and it is not easy for a paid platform like Netflix to defeat traditional listening and streaming platforms."
While Chi Jingyuan was reading, Park Jae-hyun, who was familiar with the information, was also introducing it, so that Chi Jingyuan could understand it in more detail.
"Although it was not successful in Neon, Netflix did not give up the idea of distributing in Asia. In August last year, it officially began to develop on the Peninsula. It established a Peninsula branch and cooperated with major TV stations and several top directors.
, writers and actors have begun to contact..."
"How is the development going?" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously while flipping through the information.
"Not very good."
Having said this, Park Jae-hyun shook his head, laughed, and said in a playful tone: "Although Netflix is ambitious and says it plans to expand into Asia, it has been very difficult after entering the peninsula market. It has no relationship with KBS, the major monopoly wireless TV stations."
There is nothing to say, because there is a natural competition between streaming media and TV broadcasts, and others are not willing to cooperate with him."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The same goes for directors, actors and artists, they all pay more attention to the development of TV stations and are not very optimistic about online platforms like Netflix. I even said that recently
There is a rumor circulating in the industry that a TV station’s PD has made threats such as ‘cooperating with Netflix will mean you can’t get along with the TV station’.”
"Then have you ever let go of such words?" Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyelids.
"I'm not sure about this." Park Jae-hyun smiled and shook his head: "But if such words are spread so widely, they must not be groundless... But even if someone spreads the word, they are probably just some minor characters.
People with some strength probably don’t care too much.”
After he finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds and then continued: "Later, we also suffered setbacks when negotiating with tvN, CJ E&M, and JTBC.
, and I can’t buy the first broadcast rights.”
"But I went to find out about it with a friend. After Netflix was frustrated in acquiring finished TV series, they also started to do their old business - making their own. I heard that the person in charge licked Director Bong Joon-ho for a long time, and at any rate even took out five
With an investment of tens of millions of dollars, he was invited to shoot his first self-made movie, and there is also a self-made TV series that seems to be in preparation recently."
"But as far as I can see, they still haven't made clear the specific route for development on the peninsula. They want both this and that. They want to do everything, but they can't do anything well. In almost half a year, they haven't even produced an influential work.
, has also been ostracized by several monopoly TV stations in the industry. I checked it out yesterday. At present, the total number of users on Netflix Peninsula is less than 80,000, and you don’t have EXO’s monthly official paid VIPs.
There are so many people... Generally speaking, it is even more difficult than when I first arrived in Neon..."
"If their two self-made movies and self-made dramas fail this time, I guess they will not be far away from withdrawing from the Peninsula market..."
As he spoke, he chuckled softly, curled his lips and said, "It may not be that it is very popular in the United States, but the peninsula has its own way of playing, and they really can't play it."
His tone was somewhat sarcastic, as if he was gloating about Netflix's misfortune... At the same time, he also had a kind of pride that Chi Jingyuan couldn't understand, as if he felt that Netflix's failure on the peninsula was natural.
Even though Park Jae-hyun, Ji Kyung-won's agent, is mature and steady in terms of calculation, discerning and well-informed, he still can't escape some of the traits that are deeply rooted in the hearts of Peninsula men.
Both inferior and proud, Peninsula men have this contradictory mentality.
But Chi Jingyuan didn't care. He digested the news he just heard, ignored Park Jae-hyun's last obviously biased words, and asked curiously: "Only more than 80,000 users? Now Netflix on the peninsula is a month
How much does membership cost?”
"9,500 won a month."
"That's really not very cheap." Chi Jingyuan nodded slowly.
9,500 won is enough to buy an album, not to mention you have to pay every month. You don’t have any content, so who would want to subscribe.
"This time the other party came to you through producer Yin Xialin, and it is said that he is one of the people in charge of Netflix... Then I guess the other party probably wants to cooperate with you, Jingyuan, in TV drama-related fields."
After ridiculing, Park Jae-hyun immediately calmed down and spoke his thoughts while turning the steering wheel skillfully:
“The most urgent thing for Netflix at the moment is to build a reputation with a popular content drama to break the current shackles situation. When the success of the two self-produced dramas is uncertain, find the most popular one.
The most popular actors are the best way to greatly increase the probability of a TV series' success."
He looked at Chi Jingyuan through the rearview mirror and said:
"Currently, the TV drama field is very popular. The one who can be qualified to be called the 'most popular' is probably you, Jingyuan."
