Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni took the elevator down to the second floor of the dormitory building.
The multimedia room on the second floor is very large, divided into four independent rooms. Each room has a TV, speakers and karaoke equipment. Three of the rooms play KBS, MB and kgs TV programs at night, mainly variety shows.
and TV series.
KBS, MB and kgs are the three major TV stations in South Korea. These three wireless TV stations occupy most of the market share and mainly broadcast news, variety shows and TV series. There are also about 20 paid cable TV stations, which mainly broadcast
Introduced movies, American dramas, Japanese dramas, late-night adult dramas, etc.
There are nearly 200 trainees living in the dormitory building of SPG Entertainment. Not all of these trainees are signed by SPG, and some are trained on behalf of SPG. However, the company treats them equally in terms of management.
For these trainees, watching the programs of the three major TV stations is not only a leisure and relaxation process, but also a learning process. Through the TV screen, they can get to know many seniors in the industry and become familiar with various variety shows and TV series.
Everyone can discuss with each other in the multimedia room, which greatly relieves the pressure caused by daily rigorous training.
Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni came to the room where kgs was played.
The room was not big, with five rows of seats arranged in the front and back, which could accommodate fifty or sixty people watching the show at the same time. However, when the two of them came, there were only three or four people sitting inside, which made it seem very deserted.
The large-screen LCD TV hanging on the wall is replaying the kgs current affairs program.
Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni politely greeted the trainees and then found a seat to sit down.
Song Jiayi said softly: "There are so few people."
Yang Yanni curled her lips and said: "They must have read the program list. They knew that the TV series that kgs showed in the evening were TV series imported from China, so naturally they were not interested. MB is showing "The Power of the Queen"!"
"The Power of the Queen" is a large-scale historical drama recently produced by MB. The ratings of the first few episodes have exceeded 25%. It is expected to become the first popular drama this year, and several of the leading actors are famous Korean artists.
, naturally there are many people watching.
On the other hand, Korean TV drama audiences are quite exclusive and are not very interested in TV dramas from abroad. Even well-produced and top-quality American dramas are not very popular in Korea. The ratings of cable TV stations are usually below 5
%the following.
As for Chinese dramas, historical dramas can interest Korean audiences.
Yang Yanni and Song Jiayi didn't know that after SPG introduced "Blue Life and Death", it spent a lot of effort on the broadcast issue. It was already very difficult to be on the screen of kgs.
The first person SPG contacted was MB, because SPG had the best relationship with South Korea's second largest TV station, but MB had little interest in the samples sent by SPG. The director of MB's program department also laughed at SPG's people, thinking that they were spending too much money.
The 1 billion won is better to do charity work, at least it can gain a good reputation.
What are you looking for when buying Chinese dramas?
There is nothing new under the sun. The fact that SPG invested huge sums of money to purchase a Chinese drama in order to open up the Chinese market has long been spread in the circle. Most people sneered at SPG's behavior, thinking that SPG was in fierce competition with its peers such as KG and Hanyi.
The competition failed.
That’s not to say mb doesn’t want it, it’s just that the price is very low and the broadcast time is not guaranteed.
Of course, SPG couldn't agree to such conditions, so it tentatively contacted KBS, the Korean Broadcasting and Television Station, but KBS directly refused, leaving no room for negotiation.
In desperation, spg could only pin its hopes on kgs.
Among the three major TV stations in South Korea, kgs has always been considered to have a pro-China tendency. It has broadcast many Chinese dramas and has also filmed documentaries such as Koreans in Beijing. Its acceptance of Chinese dramas is relatively high.
So this time SPG was not turned away. After watching the sample film of "Blue Life and Death", kgs became interested and negotiated with SPG.
However, kgs knew that SPG had hit a wall with the other two peers, so it bargained hard. In the end, the two parties negotiated and signed a gambling agreement similar to that between Lu Chen and Haijin TV. The amount of the copyright transfer was determined based on the ratings.
.
What SPG has fought hard for is the broadcast time slot of kgs.
"Blue Life and Death" is broadcast on kgs on Friday and Saturday after the current affairs news program. The broadcast time is 6:30 pm. Two episodes will be broadcast first, and then there will be corresponding adjustments based on the ratings.
.
If the ratings are high, it will be delayed by two hours and put into prime time. If the ratings are low, it will be delayed by five hours!
And this is the best condition that SPG can achieve. The Chinese drama they introduced for this drama can only go so far. From now on, it will depend on the performance of "Blue Life and Death" itself.
Yang Yanni and Song Jiayi knew very little about "Blue Life and Death". They only got a small amount of information from the Internet. They knew that this TV series was very popular in China.
Of course, the two of them hope that the drama "Blue" will be equally successful in Korea, but it is unrealistic to think about it.
After sitting there for about ten minutes, when the broadcast time was about to arrive, there were only three or four more people in the room.
These local Korean trainees were probably curious about the Chinese dramas represented by their own companies. In addition, there were no other popular dramas or variety shows during this time period, so they came here with the idea of watching something new.
This can be heard from their whispers.
Song Jiayi has been in South Korea for two years and has learned Korean very well, so she can understand everything others say, so she feels a little uncomfortable.
This discomfort turned into dissatisfaction, and she couldn't help but pray secretly in her heart for "Blue Life and Death", which she had not yet watched, praying for a result that would not be embarrassing at least.
After the current news broadcast, the opening scene of "Blue Life and Death" appeared on the TV screen.
This domestically introduced urban emotional drama series is officially broadcast in South Korea!
Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni were surprised to find that "Blue Life and Death" was not re-dubbed, but the original sound, but with bilingual subtitles.
This made the two of them feel extremely friendly, and they immediately put aside those messy thoughts and devoted themselves to appreciating the series.
They want to know what kind of charm this TV series, which has created a miracle of ratings in China, has!
One episode lasts 45 minutes, and including the commercials at the beginning and end, it took almost 100 minutes to finish the two episodes.
Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni sat through it and didn't leave for a minute.
Their feeling after watching it is that this TV series is indeed very good, with a unique storyline, excellent production and graphics, and the soundtrack is not inferior to mainstream Korean TV series.
The most important thing is that the real male and female protagonists of the first two episodes have not yet appeared, and they have already been attracted to each other, making them look forward to the subsequent plot.
“A very interesting TV series!”
The sudden sound from behind startled Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni.
The two of them looked back and saw that there were twenty or thirty people sitting in the rows behind them. They were all trainees like them, and the person speaking was a Korean girl who usually had a good relationship with them.
Seeing the surprised expressions of Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni, a smile appeared on the other's face: "I like this story very much. There should be another one tomorrow, right? Then we'll come over to read it together."
Song Jiayi nodded blankly: "Okay, okay."
Suddenly her heart moved, and she dragged Yang Yanni to the computer room on the same floor. Then she swiped her card to go online and searched for relevant content, plots, stills, and highlights of "Blue Life and Death" through domestic search engines.
Through relevant links, Song Jiayi entered the official post bar of "Blue Life and Death Love".
She was surprised to find that this post bar had millions of following members. It was very popular and the atmosphere in the post bar was very good. There were many posts discussing the overseas broadcast of "Blue Life and Death".
Most of these posts are about speculation about ratings, or blessings and prayers.
Through the discussion thread, Song Jiayi found out that the author and leading actor of "Blue Life and Death" actually made a bold statement regarding the show's ratings in South Korea, saying that if the ratings exceeded 10%, he would give away 1,000 Korean tours to fans!
Song Jiayi was stunned by such an amazing handiwork, and she was even more amazed at Lu Chen's ambition.
10% ratings!
Although Song Jiayi didn't really believe that "Blue Life and Death" could achieve such results, she was also infected by Lu Chen's heroic ambition and couldn't help but use her own account to post a post on the forum.
[I am in Seoul, South Korea, and I just finished watching "Blue Life and Death" and I feel very good.]
The time difference between South Korea and China is one hour. It is 8:30 pm here and 7:30 pm in China. It is the peak time for Internet users to surf the Internet, and the popularity of Tieba is booming.
So Song Jiayi's post just went out and there were a lot of replies immediately.
But these replies are not very friendly.
"I'm going to cheat and reply again. Level 1 trumpet, get out of here!"
"The original poster posted a message from Korea, and I replied from Namek. Please reply if you receive it!"
"Seoul, South Korea? Isn't Seoul the capital of the United States? Why did it end up in South Korea? This is unscientific!"
"Go, go, go!"
"True or false, there is no truth without pictures."
"The poster's registered ID is a girl. If she is a real girl, please don't make up stories, thank you."
"It made me laugh so hard"
Song Jiayi didn't expect such a result at all, and was immediately dumbfounded.
Yang Yanni, who was sitting next to her, saw this and was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. She immediately ran to the multimedia room next door and shot a short video with her mobile phone.
"Pass it up to show them and slap these guys to death!"
As a result, after the video was uploaded, the trend in the post immediately changed dramatically.
"I'll go, it's true!"
"kgs TV station, I have wronged the original poster, I'm sorry."
"Owner, where are you? Why does the place feel so strange? The TV hall?"
“Owner, please take the real photo!”
"There are so many girls, please tell me the truth!"
