The representative of South Korea's SPG entertainment company in China only brought one assistant, and he visited directly at his door.
He is about forty years old, with a slender figure and a solemn expression. His narrow eyes are hidden behind black-rimmed glasses, and a light seems to flash by when he blinks. He gives the impression that he is shrewd and strong.
A very difficult person to talk to!
Combining the information he learned from Filia Chen last night, Lu Chen made an intuitive judgment in his mind.
Of course, on the surface, he was very polite and enthusiastic: "Hello Mr. Park, welcome to my studio."
Pu Zhenghao held Lu Chen's hand, and a faint smile appeared on his serious face: "I have admired the name of Mr. Lu Chen for a long time, so please forgive me for disturbing you!"
His Chinese was spoken fluently, but apart from being a bit stiff, I couldn't tell that he was Korean.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Park is too polite. Please come inside to talk."
"Who is this?"
Park Zhenghao was a little surprised, and his eyes fell on Lu Xi.
Lu Chen introduced: "This is my agent and my sister Lu Xi."
"It turns out to be Miss Lu Xi!"
Park Zhenghao suddenly realized that he waved to the assistant beside him, who immediately handed over a beautifully packaged box.
"When we meet for the first time, a small gift is not a sign of respect. Please accept it with Miss Lu Xi's appreciation."
Lu Xi was stunned, but still accepted the gift: "Thank you!"
The two parties sat down in the reception room, and Xiaomei served the guests tea.
Park Zhenghao did not rush to talk about business, but started chatting with Lu Chen and Lu Xi.
This is actually a negotiation skill. Through small talk, people can relax their vigilance, and then judge the other party's temperament, personality and even hobbies, and then use negotiation strategies in a targeted manner.
Although Park Zhenghao had a serious face when he came in, he was very clear when talking about anecdotes in the entertainment industry. He also strongly praised Lu Chen's original talent, thinking that Lu Chen had just won the best in the "Asian Chinese Golden Songs Chart"
Newcomer and Best Composer are well deserved.
Park Jung-ho also attended the [Asian Chinese Golden Songs Chart] awards night and saw Lu Chen on stage to receive the award.
Through this kind of communication, both parties went from strangers to familiarity, and the atmosphere of the conversation was relaxed and warm.
Although Lu Chen had always been wary of Park Jung-ho, he had to admit that this middle-aged Korean was quite capable and his speech and behavior were impeccable.
After talking about the golden song chart award ceremony, Park Jung-ho then talked about "Blue Life and Death".
"This is the best TV series I have watched this year!"
The representative of South Korea's SPG Entertainment Company did not hesitate to praise the show: "The plot, pictures, and soundtrack are all top-notch. I very much hope that this drama can be introduced to South Korea and be seen by our domestic audience."
"That's exactly why I'm here!"
Speaking of this, Park Jung-ho seemed extremely confident: "Our SPG Entertainment company has a good cooperative relationship with KBS and MBC."
Korean Broadcasting Station KBS and Korean Cultural Broadcasting Station MBC are the first and second-ranked TV stations in South Korea. "Blue Life and Death" will be a great success no matter which TV station it appears on.
Different from China, South Korean audiences like to watch variety shows and TV dramas the most, and their young people are also used to watching these two major programs on TV. Unlike China, which has two major markets: the Internet and the screen.
South Korea's national dramas are also phenomenal TV dramas, with ratings reaching over 50%. This is unimaginable in the country today, but it was about the same twenty or thirty years ago.
To be honest, Park Zhenghao's attitude surprised both Lu Chen and Lu Xi.
The so-called buyers are those who dislike the goods. In negotiations, it is most common to deliberately lower the other party's evaluation of the "goods". It is rare for someone to praise the goods first.
But when it came to the specific terms, both of them found that they were too naive.
Park Jung-ho's copyright introduction fee for "Blue Life and Death" is 800 million won, which sounds like a huge amount, but in fact it is less than 5 million won in domestic currency.
As an imported drama, SPG Entertainment is a middleman, and they will definitely make a profit by providing it to the TV station. Considering the difficulty of entering the Korean market, this price is really not bad.
In the past, a large domestic film and television company invested more than 100 million yuan to shoot a 45-episode historical drama, but only gave South Korea 500 million won. Later it was revealed that the kickback to the middleman was as high as 200 million won, which was almost nothing.
"Blue Life and Death" only has 20 episodes. Even if it is a huge hit in China, it is definitely worthy of publicity if it can offer such a price to South Korea.
But this is conditional!
Park Zhenghao also paid attention to Lu Chen's new drama this year and made a request for investment. His appetite is not small.
Logically speaking, investing is a good thing, but it also depends on the situation.
The super high ratings of "Blue Life and Death" and its impact on the domestic film and television drama market have made Lu Chen's new drama a favorite in the eyes of countless people. A lot of people came to their doorsteps to send money.
Don’t worry about investors.
The drama "Blue" is at the bottom. As long as the filming of the new drama is not too bad, with Lu Chen as the protagonist, profits are inevitable, and there is no need to worry about losing money.
And once you can become a shareholder, you will have a say in the actors' roles, which is another big benefit. PG Entertainment also trains artists in China and has participated in many film and television dramas and variety shows, so they deeply understand the rules.
Today, Park Jung-ho was sent to Lu Chen Studio to discuss the introduction of "Blue Life and Death Love". The drunkard's intention is not to drink!
Regarding Pu Zhenghao's request, Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other.
Such conditions cannot be agreed!
With the success of the previous drama "Blue", Lu Chen is now confident. He doesn't mind bringing in investors in the new drama, but SPG Entertainment is not a good choice.
Lu Chen knew very well that compared to large companies like SPG Entertainment, even foreign companies, his studio was at a clear disadvantage. Once investment from other parties was introduced, it was likely to be constrained.
The most important thing is that his current development is firstly based on the domestic market. It is a good thing to open up the Korean market, but it would be foolish to lose his own interests because of it.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen said to Pu Zhenghao: "Mr. Pu, I cannot agree to this condition!"
Lu Chen's straightforward refusal made Pu Zhenghao look shocked.
He came with full confidence and believed that he would be able to convince Lu Chen to invest in SPG and introduce South Korea’s competitiveness.
Who can resist?
In the end, I never expected that Lu Chen would refuse so simply——
