Chapter 497: Such a cruel move?

As one of the industries recognized globally as "moral lowlands".

There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. Not only are they energetic, but they also have a lot of free time and money, making it easy for them to have accidents in their daily lives.

Pu Jiajing often subconsciously puts herself in the situation, from thinking that "this is not a good idea" at first to thinking that "it's human nature".

I fantasize about how happy it would be if my boss could extend his evil hand to me, so that I could avoid decades of detours, get constant film offers in the future, have a large sum of money in my account, and own luxury cars and mansions.

Just fill in the blanks occasionally.

Not many times, just thinking about it a few hundred times.

The two Hollywood stars that he had previously met in Los Angeles both got some resources from Fan Wumian.

Mythology Film Studios is busy developing a script called "Rich Second Generation" around Megan Fox, telling the story of a father who designed a plan to make the male protagonist mistakenly believe that he had traveled through time in order to transform his son.
After learning about the plot, Paramount Pictures has already agreed to make an additional investment.

Britney Spears is also about to start spending money on shooting materials and developing in the direction of an "Internet celebrity blogger". The team has already been formed and is just waiting to negotiate cooperation with advertisers.

When she saw Guo Biting coming down the stairs, her long white legs were trembling slightly.

Pu Jiajing was no longer shy like a young girl, and she joked from a distance, whispering:

"It's the second day. This time they've been on the boat for more than 48 hours. I want to see when they'll separate."

By the side.

The bodyguard Qian Ge took a breath of cold air:
"I admire you! It's good to be young. Unlike my family, where the old couple have been married for several years, the things in the bedside table are often expired."

Soon.

Fan Wumian came to the deck.

He stretched his body and twisted his neck, and said to Pu Jiajing:

"There are media outlets in South Korea saying that the two songs that Allure Girls sang at my concert were suspected of plagiarizing South Korea's K-pop music style, and the news spread like wildfire."

"It's so shameless. I asked the reporters to help me scold them back. They said that the pop song style originally existed in the United States, and they added a few Korean words and actually passed it off as their own original creation."

"They have already snatched away the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm afraid they will snatch away the Spring Festival and Christmas too next."

It may seem like just a minor friction, but other interests are involved behind it.

Similar to Hong Kong entertainment, South Korea has a population of only more than 40 million, and the market size is small, which cannot support a large scale. If Korean entertainment wants to enter a virtuous circle, it must expand outward.

If there is a lack of revenue from overseas markets, South Korean film and television companies will easily fall into the same embarrassing situation as Hong Kong film and television companies, where the cost of shooting and production is too high to recover the cost, which will in turn affect the overall quality of South Korean film and television dramas.

Ever since it claimed to have entered the threshold of a developed country, TV series such as "Dae Jang Geum" and "Full House" have become popular in Asia, and South Korea has become increasingly inflated. As a nouveau riche who has suddenly become rich after being poor for a long time, its arrogance has become so unbearable recently.

If South Korean counterparts want to capture the markets across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, Fan Wumian and Shanzeiwang Media have become the biggest obstacles in front of them.

This sudden public attack on the group for "plagiarizing K-pop" is probably intended to pull him down from the altar and boycott Allure's counterattack on the South Korean market.

During the last period when "The Lonely and Great God" was a hit in South Korea, a South Korean expert was interviewed and said that the invasion of Hong Kong and Hong Kong film and television dramas into the domestic market should be resisted, and thresholds should be set up like protecting agricultural products, thereby boosting local employment rates and driving the economic development of the South Korean film and television industry.

In order to sell the broadcasting rights of "My Love from the Star" in South Korea, several South Korean TV stations joined hands to lower the purchase price by about 2%, and also reduced the screenings of "Time Trap" and "A Quiet Place " during the summer vacation.

Since they did it on the first day first, don’t blame Fan Wumian for doing it on the fifteenth.

If some resources were used, the so-called "Korean Wave" could be killed in advance. In Fan Wumian's opinion, it would be worth it even if it harms others and does not benefit oneself.

Pu Jiajing didn't understand, and asked in confusion: "What should we do specifically?"

".Forget it, give me paper and pen, I'll write it down and have someone do it."

Sit next to her.

Fan Wumian started writing in his little notebook:

"1. South Korea protects its domestic market and does not buy Hong Kong and mainland TV dramas, but hopes that we will purchase more of their works. This is too much of a double standard." "2. Find some evidence that South Korea fabricated history and stole the culture of neighboring countries. Be wary of cultural invasion."

"3. Expose South Korean actors who are frantically making money in China and snatching away advertising endorsement opportunities."

"4. The hype about the increase in the number of imported South Korean dramas has squeezed the living space of domestic dramas, reduced the employment rate, and caused huge amounts of capital to flow out every year."

At the beginning of the century, the mainland only introduced a dozen Korean dramas a year, but last year the number increased dramatically to 79.

Mainland TV stations only spent a few million dollars to introduce these Korean dramas. The key is that these works also made a number of South Korean stars popular, often snatching away advertising endorsements and commercial performance opportunities from Yang Mi, Huang Shengyi, and Gao Yuanyuan.

As the old saying goes, you cannot allow others to sleep soundly beside your bed.

Although the number of Korean dramas on mainland TV stations only accounts for about 6% of the total number of TV dramas purchased throughout the year, those South Korean entertainment companies rely on their artists to make two to three hundred million US dollars a year.

For example, in recent years, groups such as HOT and SS501 have earned $3000 million by holding concerts and releasing albums. The sales and licensing income of film, television and music copyrights of other South Korean entertainment companies has a total of about $8000 million. In addition, there are other incomes from commercial performances and advertising endorsements.

You should know that the total box office of the mainland film market last year was only more than 2 billion yuan, barely comparable to the profits taken away by the "Korean Wave".

This shows how big a piece of the domestic entertainment market South Korea has quietly grabbed.

The cake is only so big for now, and if Korean entertainment takes a big piece, it will naturally affect his business. It's ok that flies are buzzing around on weekdays, but this time they actually took the initiative to provoke Fan Wumian and started to suppress the Allure Girls Group. Of course, he couldn't wait to prepare for revenge.

It just so happens that colleagues in the market have been unhappy with Korean entertainment for a long time. If the fire can be stoked, it might help to reduce the influence of Korean Wave in the mainland market again.

From a long-term perspective, if their arrogance can be suppressed sooner, Fan Wumian may be able to earn hundreds of millions more RMB in the next few years. There is no need to give up the market and feed these ungrateful people.

I was just about to return the notebook to Pu Jiajing.

Fan Wumian thought of something and spoke again:

"I suspect that once this dirty water is thrown out, many people will spontaneously help clean up the mess and make sarcastic comments about Chinese dramas, saying that they are of poor quality and not as attractive as Korean dramas."

"Confidence really needs to be supported by the economy, culture and military, otherwise many people will suffer from osteoporosis and weak knees."

"When someone starts to speak well of Korean dramas, then think of a way to promote My Love from the Star. Say hello to Ji Qiao and let me see the news when you finish writing it."

Unlike the competition between works, this time the competition is for market share.

South Korea needs the huge markets of both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, but both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong look down on the South Korean market. Everyone is focused on making money from Europe and the United States.

In this situation, Fan Wumian discovered that huge profits were continuously flowing to South Korea. He was heartbroken and only regretted that the profits did not go into his own pocket.

If we don't hold back Korean entertainment now, the total amount of money earned by Korean entertainment in a few years will probably reach tens of billions of RMB per year.

Like the male protagonist of the original "My Love from the Star", just based on this phenomenal TV series, it is rumored that he earned up to 10 billion yuan in advertising endorsements in China, and the income from a single advertisement exceeded 3500 million yuan.

Therefore, compared with specific film and television projects, new song albums, etc., this kind of major competition in the business field is obviously more important in Fan Wumian's view.

After a little thought.

He whispered to Pu Jiajing again:
"Most of the public's current filter for Korean dramas is the good impression accumulated from watching "Dae Jang Geum", and it is deeply rooted. Find someone to dig up negative information for me and watch this drama frame by frame from beginning to end. I want it to be ridiculed by the entire network. For example, the food is simple and the Manchu-Han banquet was used to entertain Ming Dynasty envoys. Don't miss any of it."

".Are you kidding? Are you so cruel?"

"Well, it's almost time. I found that after suppressing Korean dramas and South Korean stars, I have the opportunity to make an extra 10 to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars from the Asian market in the next five years."

It was unclear where this conclusion came from, but Pu Jiajing had never doubted Fan Wumian's business acumen.

Hear the words.

She suddenly became alert and quickly took out her cell phone and said:

"Okay! I'll make a call now and ask your agent Jiang Shixi to take charge of this personally. I don't feel comfortable leaving such an important matter to someone else."
