Beijing, the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
In the bright living room, a woman sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, holding a small pile of documents in both hands, looking down slightly.
She had a round bun on the back of her head, small and exquisite silver chain earrings on her ears, and wore a black and white dress. Her tall figure exposed a small section of her white ankles on her expensive high heels.
A group of people sat around her on the sofa, including the little queen of South Korea, Jang Nala.
The living room was silent, no one dared to make a sound for fear of disturbing the woman in front of him.
A few men inadvertently raised their eyebrows to look at her. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva because of her beauty and good figure, but the next moment they hurriedly lowered their heads, fearing that this woman would notice their abnormal gaze.
It seemed that everyone present had some fear and awe of this woman.
They are a brokerage team from South Korea, serving Zhang Nala. The purpose of coming to China is also for Zhang Nala to develop better in this country.
The woman in front of me is Kim Jae Hee, she is Jang Nara’s manager and the leader of this team.
Logically speaking, there is just one agent, and no matter how powerful you are, there is no need to be afraid of the agent.
The reason why the people present are like this is because Kim Jae Hee's identity is more than just an agent.
South Korea has three entertainment giants, SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and JYP Entertainment, each controlled by three South Korean chaebols.
In addition, there is another entertainment company that should not be underestimated - XY Entertainment.
Originally, this company was only second-rate in South Korea, but after entering into a strategic cooperation with a company in the United States, its status in South Korea and the international entertainment industry has risen.
Warner Music is one of the largest music companies in the world.
In order to develop the entertainment market in South Korea, a branch was established in South Korea a few years ago and merged with XY Entertainment. The original XY was renamed XY Warner Entertainment.
The music business group is managed by Warner America's headquarters.
The artist management and film and television business groups will be managed by the original XY management.
The current chairman of XY Entertainment is Kim Jae Wook, and the woman in front of him is named Kim Jae Hee.
The relationship is clear at a glance. Kim Jae-wook and Kim Jae-hee are direct family members, and Kim Jae-hee is Kim Jae-wook's biological sister.
How dark the entertainment industry in South Korea is, you can understand it if you have a little knowledge about it.
If you want to get ahead in the capital class of South Korea's entertainment industry, apart from financial resources and connections, if you don't have any brains or means, it will only end in disgrace.
Kim Jae-hee is less than 30 years old, and as a senior executive of capital, he is able to lead his team and artists to China, a country he is unfamiliar with, for development, and within one or two years, Jang Nara becomes a hot front-line actor.
Artists, this Nara is still a foreign artist to China.
The credit for all of this must go to Kim Jae Hee, the manager.
So, one can imagine Kim Jae Hee's means and abilities. It's no wonder that the people present felt fear and awe of her.
"Comparing the story line of "Nirvana in Fire" and looking at the synopsis of "Legend of Red Flame", I can see that Brilliant Era adapted it like this. I don't want to use it. This drama is prepared for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei."
Jin Zaixi spoke calmly, without raising his head, still looking down at the information.
However, when he spoke casually, his tone seemed to exude an oppressive aura, making him appear condescending.
The people present were already used to it and nodded in agreement.
"Miss, Chu Xuan's popularity is unparalleled in China. If Nala can cooperate with Chu Xuan, it will be like a free ride for Nala's future development in China." Someone tried to explore.
suggest like this.
Jin Zaixi raised his eyebrows and glanced at this man, and said calmly: "I donated it because my brain is not good. What nonsense do you think?"
This man's face turned pale and he was speechless.
Jin Zaixi lowered his head and continued to read the information, saying: "Let's not talk about whether Brilliant Times is willing to separate Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, but let's talk about the relationship between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. You let a man separate from his own woman to partner with another woman to play a couple.
?”
"Unless the man is incompetent, or the man's career is not under his control, or the man doesn't care about his woman's feelings."
"But Chu Xuan does not meet any of the above points, and as the boss of Brilliant Era, he and Liu Yifei have complete autonomy in their careers."
"Let the two of them separate? You look down on Chu Xuan for this idea."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong." The man nodded repeatedly, admitting his mistake.
Jin Zaixi ignored him and continued: "Putting aside these things, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are already in a bundled marketing relationship. Their fans have long been accustomed to this situation. If you ask Nala to work with Chu Xuan as a couple, then when the time comes
Nala will be scolded by the Chinese audience."
The people present nodded and seemed to agree very much.
"Then let Nala cooperate with Bright Times in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" according to our previous plan?" someone said.
"Since "Legend of Red Flame" is prepared for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, if Nala participates, it will be a supporting role at most. Although Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are very popular, it is a bit low-level to let Nala be their supporting role.
I think cooperating on "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the best plan." Someone analyzed.
Jin Zaixi didn't speak, he lowered his head and thought while reading the information.
The others were waiting silently, except Zhang Nala, who curled his lips secretly.
Look at what these people say, they make it sound like if we cooperate, Bright Times will definitely cooperate with us.
"What if Bright Times is unwilling to cooperate?" She couldn't help but raise the question.
"It is true that Bright Times is a very powerful company in China, but if you want to develop overseas, it is useless to be strong only in your own country. Our company has global resources. If we use this to cooperate with Bright Times, I don't think they can
Will refuse." Someone said.
Kim Jae Hee didn't interrupt. What this person was talking about was also her trump card.
From her understanding, Bright Times, Huayi Brothers, and Enlight Media can compete with the three giants of South Korean entertainment and are the three giants in China's domestic entertainment industry.
But the only shortcoming is that South Korean entertainment companies can integrate with international standards, and it is not difficult to have Hollywood resources. However, few Chinese entertainment companies have gone to Asia, let alone integrate with Hollywood.
In her mind, Bright Times is not stupid, and free cooperation will definitely not work, but with some global resources and channels to cooperate, she also feels that Bright Times will not refuse.
"In recent years, many young people or artists from China have come to Korea to be trainees, treating Korea as a place of pilgrimage in the entertainment industry."
"We have been in China for a few years. Facts have proved that China's entertainment industry is still very backward, while our entertainment industry in Korea is the most developed in the world."
"Since ancient times, development from the bottom up is the right principle. If Bright Times agrees to our cooperation, we can also let their artists come to our company for training and let them know what the standards of an artist are."
"This is something that can bring great benefits to Bright Times, and Bright Times has no reason to refuse."
Jin Zaixi showed no expression of joy or anger, and raised his eyebrows to look at this person calmly.
What is bottom-up development?
From China to South Korea is it from bottom to top?
Although as a South Korean, you should think about your country's honor, but you must also be at least sober as a human being.
Not to mention anything else, China covers an area of 9.6 million square kilometers and South Korea covers an area of 100,000 square kilometers. No matter where you look, you can’t see a normal bottom-up logical relationship from China to South Korea.
Moreover, if the journey from China to South Korea is from bottom to top, then what is the Korean Wave currently developing in China?
From top to bottom? Isn’t this a slap in the face?
Patriotism is a good thing, but letting yourself become a frog in the well will look ridiculous.
Jin Zaixi shook his head inwardly, not bothering to argue with him on this topic. Reasoning with a drunk person was nothing more than talking nonsense.
Before she came to China, she had a comprehensive understanding of China's entertainment industry.
One thing this person told the truth is that China's current entertainment industry is indeed relatively backward.
However, this is compared with the average level of developed countries around the world, but what if China compares with China itself?
What was the Chinese entertainment industry like in the 1990s?
What is China's entertainment industry like now in the past few years?
What a difference!
When she read the information, she was shocked.
China is developing too fast!
In just over ten years, it has gone from a barren land to the current prosperity.
At this rate, it won’t be easy for China’s entertainment industry to surpass South Korea’s in a few years.
Judging from China's land area and population base, its market size may surpass Hollywood?
She couldn't imagine it, but in her eyes, China's entertainment market had unlimited potential.
She can see this, and so can entertainment companies around the world with a little bit of discernment.
It's just that the entertainment industry outside Asia has such fertile land as Hollywood, and they don't bother to develop in China.
Since South Korea is close to China, it is natural for South Korean entertainment companies to bring artists here for development.
Of course, there is another important factor for South Korean artists to come to China to develop.
The competition in South Korea is too fierce. With only 100,000 square kilometers of territory, how many top players can it support?
It happened that China's entertainment market began to flourish, and under the immature system of China's entertainment industry, it happened that South Korean artists with a mature entertainment industry were able to set foot on this land and develop rapidly by crushing local artists.
Opportunity.
Kim Jae Hee knew all of this.
It's not that South Korean artists are great, but that China's entertainment industry is lagging behind and has not formed a relatively complete system, so it is temporarily unable to create artists or groups with standard planning.
However, Kim Jae-hee also understands that with the development speed of China's entertainment industry, the production of its artists will reach a high level sooner or later.
At that moment, South Korean artists will no longer be popular, and South Korean artists will also lose the general trend of development in China.
Therefore, before China's entertainment industry reaches this stage, she must seize the time to develop her own artists.
Bringing Zhang Nala to China for development was just her first attempt.
Originally, her development direction for Zhang Nala was to focus on the music market. Zhang Nala also majored in music, so she was in the right profession.
I didn’t expect that piracy in China was so great. Even before the album was released, there were free resources on the Internet.
This immediately put an end to her music development plan for Zhang Nala, and then took Zhang Nala on the road to film and television.
Through building relationships and using her marketing methods, Zhang Nala has now developed to the forefront in China.
But this front line is purely a traffic front line, and it all depends on fans, not because the work is good.
And how to stabilize the position of a first-line celebrity, and even develop it to a super first-line position, is not a question of whether to praise or not.
Not only should there be classic works, but also fortune-telling.
No one can control luck, but classic works can still be predicted based on vision.
TV dramas gain popularity, and after gaining popularity, they enter the film industry to increase their celebrity status, so that artists can be both popular and popular. This is the normal development direction for artists.
Zhang Nara's current popularity is not enough to enter the film industry and needs to continue to take root in the television industry.
The main development direction of Huayi Brothers is movies, and the same is true for Enlight Media.
Although the remaining Brilliant Era among the three giants of the Huaguo Entertainment Company was established not long ago and has not many works, its ability to create scripts, marketing capabilities and various channels are top-notch in her heart.
One "The Condor" and the other "Struggle", two consecutive hit dramas appeared. Although Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were added, good scripts and marketing capabilities are also indispensable for the success of the TV series.
of a link.
Some time ago, she happened to inquire about the status of the project that Bright Times would launch next, but because she was not sure, she just made a phone call to Bright Times and expressed her intention to cooperate.
But the copywriting form of Bright Times today confirms this situation and advertises it widely in the name of the company. This cannot be faked.
Therefore, she originally considered having Zhang Nala cooperate with Bright Times to participate in the heroine performance of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and now she can officially start considering it.
With Zhang Nara’s current A-list popularity, Glorious Era’s production capabilities, marketing capabilities and nationwide marketing channels, if the cooperation with Glorious Era goes well, she believes that Zhang Nara can stabilize his A-list celebrity status through this drama.
At least, you can even touch the first-line barrier.
Moreover, Bright Times is also a shareholder of Xinlang Micro Entertainment. With strong capital flow, Bright Times' future development blueprint is foreseeable and can develop in the longer term.
Kim Jae Hee feels that if the company and Bright Times form a long-term cooperation, and Bright Times helps the company's artists develop in China, and the company helps Bright Times develop overseas, this seems to be an idea that can be considered.
If this idea can be realized and a regulated and organized development path can be formed, then her next step will be to bring a group of artists over for development.
China's commercial performances and endorsements are really tempting. A few hours of commercial performances can earn hundreds of thousands, and one endorsement can earn millions.
According to the information I have learned, the endorsements of China's top international artists have exceeded eight figures.
Super first-line stars such as Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, and Zou Xun are also close to eight figures.
Such remuneration is unimaginable in South Korea.
Sure enough, there is still a big gap between an area of 100,000 square kilometers and an area of 9.6 million square kilometers.
Some time ago, I received several endorsements for Zhang Nala. Although they are not as good as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the gap is not big.
This is a level she has reached after only one or two years of planning!
Kim Jae Hee is very proud of this.
With such a development trend, if a group of artists from the company were to come to China to develop, let alone the first-tier, let alone reach the level of Zhang Nala, the income brought to the company in that year would also be a lot of money.
Using this capital to open up deeper channels in Hollywood will be more beneficial to the company's future development.
But now, Zhang Nala's development is not stable yet. What she needs is long-term benefits, not short-lived.
Only by stabilizing Zhang Nala's position as a front-line celebrity can she have a clearer and complete development plan.
With such a plan, the company's artists will be able to develop in China in a streamlined manner, which will make them more efficient.
Cooperating with Bright Times is currently the best plan she can think of based on the Chinese market and Zhang Nala's situation.
Using overseas channel resources to cooperate with Bright Times is also her trump card.
However, she suddenly thought of a very crucial factor.
Jin Zaixi began to think deeply and whispered: "You have underestimated Brilliant Times. Brilliant Times has a close relationship with China Film Group, and Han Sanping is the top figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. With Han Sanping's help, Brilliant Times may not need our help."
It can develop overseas and even enter Hollywood."
The people present were stunned and silent.
Jin Zaixi stood up, his movements neither slow nor fast, showing his grace.
She crossed her chest with her left hand and lightly traced her face with the index finger of her right hand. She walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel and fell into thinking.
She looked at the night scene outside the window, with thousands of neon lights flashing, and the prosperity of the capital made her squint her eyes in admiration.
"Currently, Nala still has several endorsements to negotiate, and Bright Times has only given a shooting plan, so there is no rush."
"I will personally go to the Brilliant Era in a while to meet the legendary Wang Jinhua and see if we can negotiate a cooperation."
"If it works, everyone will be happy."
"If it doesn't work..."
Jin Zaixi pursed his lips and paused.
"Nala has been in China for a few years. Our roots are in South Korea. Those companies have trained batches of artists. If we stay in China for a while, Nala's popularity in China will be exhausted."
"If we cannot cooperate with Bright Times this time, it will be a question whether there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"We are seeking cooperation this time, but we must find ways to turn this cooperation into a proactive initiative."
"Brilliant Times is currently at the center of public opinion. It is a good way to generate public opinion and popularity with the copywriting of a film and television trailer."
Jin Zaixi turned around, folded his arms and said: "Even if it doesn't work, we can also think of a way to let Nara participate in this public opinion, and take advantage of the current popularity caused by the Brilliant Era to expand Nara's popularity and let Nara take over in the second half of the year.
I will do as many commercial performances, endorsements, and film and television dramas as possible, and when I return to China at the end of the year, it will be easier to communicate on the board of directors."
The people present nodded slowly, and one of them raised his head and asked doubtfully: "If you participate in the public opinion dominated by the Brilliant Era, then it will be difficult to explain to the Brilliant Era, right?"
Jin Zaixi smiled slightly, and the beauty of this smile made the hearts of the men present move.
"She is indeed the most beautiful agent in South Korea, I can't stand it." They murmured in their hearts.
"So let the Brilliant Era lose the ability to resist, and we will retreat in time to give the Brilliant Era a step down. As for how to do it..." Kim Jae-hee stretched out a finger and tapped his temple: "Use your brain."
Seeing everyone's thoughtful expressions, Jin Zaixi waved his hand: "Let's all go back and rest."
Everyone stood up hurriedly, not daring to stay at all. They said "Good night, Miss" one after another, and then left.
