From 2011 to 2015, it was always the honeymoon period for exchanges between China and South Korea, and it was also the period when Korean inflows into China were the most ferocious.
For example, groups such as EXO, BigBang, and the subsequent "Four Returned Sons", such as Korean dramas such as "The Heirs" and "My Love from the Star", and movies. Almost 13 Korean movies have been introduced to China, and 10 of them have been introduced to China. A Korean co-production was released.
In fact, Bangzi directors come to the mainland to collaborate more frequently than Xiangjiang.
With the dividends from this window period, Li Fuzhen and Li Yinxin’s entertainment groups are like pigs that have stepped on the wind. It is difficult to take off even if they don’t want to!
Over two or three cups of coffee, the three of them talked about everything from music to TV series, and from TV series to movies.
The two sisters asked, and Lu Fei answered, with a tacit understanding, almost like a family. In fact, they are really a family!
"For film cooperation, do you want us to co-produce with the Han and Tang Dynasties?" Li Fuzhen refilled the coffee for the three of them.
"The co-production has too many flaws and is not suitable for our cooperation."
Lu Fei shook his head, thinking clearly.
Although co-productions are a relatively mature model of cooperation, whether it is China-U.S., China-France, or China-Japan, the most embarrassing situation for co-productions is that they flourish domestically and then decline abroad. Due to differences in cultural and historical backgrounds, many key points are difficult to understand. Got them all.
After all, Bangzi actually laughed at Hua Xia for not being able to eat watermelon?
You don’t even eat something as good as watermelon rind?
However, if you eat watermelon until you are full, what kind of watermelon rind should you eat?
In China, watermelon rinds are used to feed pigs!
It’s possible that even pigs don’t like eating it!
"Oppa, wasn't the co-production of Iron Man 1 and 2 quite successful? Why can't it be our turn?"
Li Yinxin blinked her confused eyes.
"That's just an example, not a general situation. Otherwise, wouldn't those snobs in Hollywood have fallen in love a long time ago?"
Lu Fei added sugar and milk to his coffee.
"Source Code" is also a Sino-US co-production, but the starring team is Chinese movie stars, and a large number of supporting roles and extras are from Hollywood. However, it did not make too many waves abroad, especially in the United States, with a box office of only 13.86 million US dollars. That’s it. Although it has entered the top ten Chinese-language films at the overseas box office, it is ranked 8th with “New Police Story 4”’s US$15.3 million.
Although it exceeds the two parts of "The Wandering Earth", "The Wandering Earth Part 1" has only a few dozen openings in the United States.
As for the second part, there are only more than 100 theaters in the United States.
There are more than 1,200 "Source Codes".
No matter how good the movie is, there's still a fear that theaters won't show it. Otherwise, how could "The Wandering Earth 2" lose to Ban He Lu at the box office?
"If they don't work together, how should we cooperate?"
Li Fuzhen frowned and frowned.
"In fact, there are better cooperation models."
"How to cooperate?"
"One book and two shots."
Lu Fei took out two empty cups and used them for demonstration, one cup filled with milk and one cup filled with coffee. He explained that the same script and the same story outline would be modified locally based on the national conditions and cultural backgrounds of the two countries, and then at the same time Conduct filming and production.
Compared with China and the United States, China and South Korea are at least in the East Asian cultural circle.
"Oppa, isn't this a remake?"
Li Yinxin tilted her head, looking cute and naive.
"It's different. These are identical twins."
Lu Fei said: "Customized films and customized adaptations. Each country has its own version. There will be no incomprehensibility problems. Just like you call the Mid-Autumn Festival the Qiuxi Festival. After both parties are filmed, they will be released at the same time. It has the publicity effect of '1+1 is greater than 2'."
"Emm, it's really different."
Li Fuzhen's eyes lit up, and he felt that it was highly maneuverable. It not only made up for the lack of adaptability to co-productions, but also the two parties did not interfere with each other and could mobilize the creative and production resources of the head.
"If you think it's good, you can come to China to meet Yuanyuan and talk about cooperation."
Lu Fei patted his chest and took the initiative to be the middleman.
"Yuanyuan, is she your wife?"
Li Yinxin's eyes were filled with resentment and her words were sour.
Okay, we have been making trouble for a long time. The entertainment group is not helping me, nor is it helping my sister, but is helping your Gao Yuanyuan!
"Ahem, don't get me wrong. What we are talking about is purely business. She is the boss of Hantang. Hantang is the entertainment company with the largest market value, the most resources, and the most influence in China! To you, to Fuzhen, to me, to She can be said to be a four-win winner!”
Lu Fei hid his desire to give up and acted like a businessman.
"Which one wins more, she or my sister and I?" Li Yinxin pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Yin Xin, stop talking."
Li Fuzhen rolled his eyes. Anyway, if you earn more or less, why not earn it for the old Lu family?
Li Yinxin stared at Lu Fei resentfully.
I saw him looking at his nose with his eyes, and his nose looking at his heart, without saying a word.
"This one-book, two-shot model is indeed a good new idea. You can give it a try."
Li Fuzhen thought over and over again. The reason why Hallyu needs to be exported is not because the market for sticks is too big and too small, and there are too many bastards. Once Samsung and Line really want to establish entertainment companies, they must enter China and even export to Hollywood.
No matter what, we must have good dealings with the Han and Tang Dynasties.
"In addition to movies, there are also variety shows."
Lu Fei stirred the coffee.
"Variety show?"
Li Yinxin chuckled, "Oppa, I didn't mean it. Well, I didn't laugh at you. I think our Korean variety show is better in terms of production level and production team."
"Objectively speaking, this is true. In terms of variety show production level, Bangzi is indeed higher than Huaxia. However, apart from these competitions in variety show production, the key is novelty and model."
Lu Fei gave the example of "The Voice".
Li Fuzhen and Li Yinxin looked at each other and knew that the variety show model of The Voice had become an instant hit in China, and its overseas copyrights had been bought by many countries, making a lot of money.
"'The Voice' is indeed good, but only one 'The Voice' is not enough." Li Fuzhen shook his head.
"Movies can be made in two parts, so why not variety shows? There are at least two more in the Han and Tang Dynasties that you can use."
Lu Fei stretched out three fingers.
In addition to the music variety show "Eternal Sound" during the Hong Kong Memorial Season, "Where Are We Going, Dad" and "Running Brother" co-produced by Hantang and TVB are of course the best choices.
"Oppa, you said two, why did you extend three fingers?"
Li Yinxin blinked.
"There is another idea."
Lu Fei opened his mouth and said "Produce Camp 101".
Whether it's a creative camp or an idol trainee, they all learn from Han Zong's "PRODUCE 101".
Make a debut selection plan for "Agency Company Planned Men's and Women's Team". Through this plan, 101 male and female trainees from different agencies compete in a competition, and the final results are determined by the top 11 best as voted by the audience and producers. .
"The formed combination will be in the name of your company. The first batch of experimental groups, let's do a one-year integration activity first."
"Oppa, don't we do brokerage business?"
"Ahem, how can you become a player and also be a referee?"
Looking at Li Yinxin and Lu Fei, Li Fuzhen shook his head and laughed.
"Ahem."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "You must have thought of it, right?"
"A little bit."
Li Fuzhen looked at him and smiled.
Entertainment Group was right not to get involved in the brokerage business at the beginning. After all, YG, JYP, and SM have big roots and deep roots, and they will never be able to catch up if they try again. It is better to learn from their strengths and discard their weaknesses.
The joint activities will last only a few years, and he will return to his original brokerage company in the future. This is equivalent to giving him a stage to cooperate with established brokerage companies and support small and medium-sized brokerage companies.
It is equivalent to no brokerage business, which is better than a full-time broker.
When he thought of this, Li Fuzhen didn't believe that so many ideas came out of nowhere, and said with a smile:
"Have you thought about it before you came here?"
"Originally, this was my plan for Line's entertainment business. Yin Xin, didn't the company acquire Instagram?"
Lu Fei looked sideways.
"right."
Li Yinxin couldn't help but wonder, "Oppa, do you want to post the 101 trainee voting on Instagram?"
"The future era will be the era of mobile intelligence and traffic." Lu Fei nodded.
Capital + idols + traffic = wealth code.
If you don’t have capital, you will be so stupid that you don’t make money in the entertainment industry.
Rather than letting things go, it's better to take control.
He has a hand in the ways of cutting leeks such as betting and professional fans. Although he cannot eradicate them, he can at least control them.
The two sisters listened to him talk endlessly about the "traffic era" and chatted thoroughly. The more Li Fuzhen listened, the more they felt about the feasibility of the entertainment group. In the name of dealing with CJ, they could get Li Jianxi's support and green light all the way, and they could also live with themselves. Some Shilla Hotels and Everland cooperate to expand their business territory.
The most important thing is that if you can really lead Bangzi movies to hit one or two international film awards, you will be a solid leader of the Korean Wave!
You deserve it, the godmother of Korean entertainment!
We kept talking until the sky darkened and the sun set in the west.
"It's getting late, I should go take Xiangdong home."
Li Fuzhen stood up on his own initiative and said, "Yin Xin, just stay and play "League of Legends" with Lu Fei." Then he leaned close to her ear and said in Korean, "Stay with him more."
Li Yinxin hummed and her face turned red.
"Turn on the phone first!"
Lu Fei winked at her, then sent Li Fuzhen to the door and whispered, "You have to hurry up and do that."
"What?" Li Fuzhen pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.
"you said."
Lu Fei opened his mouth and said "divorce" using lip language.
"Is this why you came here?"
Li Fuzhen glared and said angrily.
"I said no, do you believe it?"
Lu Fei gave him a meaningful look.
Madam, you don’t want to either...
"you!"
Li Fuzhen secretly patted his buttocks and left in a hurry without looking back in shame.
Lu Fei curled up his lips and turned around to go back to the house.
What is the most important thing when being a thief? Love!
What is the most important thing when being a thief? endure!
"Oppa, hurry up!"
Li Yinxin urged: "Let me see how strong your gold-level Yasuo is?"
"Hey, I changed my mind. I won't play double queue now."
"What to play then?"
"Let's play dual cultivation."
"What is dual cultivation? Is it really difficult for you to understand Chinese?"
"Double cultivation is...a monster, I want you to help me practice!"
…………
After coming out of the Shilla Hotel, Li Fuzhen took the car and took the same route. The secretary who acted as the driver sat in front of him.
"Executive Director, according to those of us who are still at Samsung Electronics, Chairman and President Lee have clearly rejected Logic's patent authorization and are destroying all evidence that may be related to plagiarism of Logic."
"How could this be destroyed? Since Logic is ready to initiate a lawsuit, he must be prepared."
Li Fuzhen didn't take it seriously.
The secretary was surprised and said: "President Li is planning to drag out the lawsuit as before. In this case, he can use this period to continue to use these patents to make profits for the group, and then invest these profits into the technology research and development of mobile phones and tablets. Slowly move away from dependence on logic.”
"Where's the other thing I asked you to do?"
Li Fuzhen was disdainful. He saw more than one plan to deal with Samsung on Lu Fei's computer.
The real climax will probably have to wait until after the new machine launch. Now it is completely free publicity and momentum for Logic.
The logic of Samsung's war is like Zuckerberg and Musk's fight in the air. The stock prices of both companies have skyrocketed. Just a few tweets can achieve at least hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising effects.
Moreover, Logic's lawsuit against Samsung will also give Nokia and Apple an opportunity. Perhaps Logic may no longer protect his younger brother.
"The general manager is all in there."
The secretary was excited and handed over an envelope.
Li Fuzhen took out a stack of photos from inside, all of which were photos of Ren Youzai fooling around with some celebrity models she didn't know.
The detective we hired was very professional and took clear pictures.
"..."
The secretary didn't dare to say anything. He glanced at the rearview mirror and felt a murderous aura. He stepped on the accelerator unconsciously and drove faster.
After a while, I picked up Li Xiangdong and went home after school.
"Mother!"
Li Xiangdong was chattering, talking about things in school.
Li Fuzhen noticed that his shoelaces were loose and asked him to tie them again while saying, "You must be exhausted."
"Tired! So tired!"
Li Xiangdong looked at him, "Mom, can I, can I not go to the Chinese training class tonight?"
"no!"
“But Chinese is so difficult!”
“It’s important and must be learned well.”
Li Fuzhen touched his head. His nose and eyebrows all looked like someone's. "Let's do this. During the Autumn Festival, I'll give you a day off and you don't have to go to any training classes."
"Really, mom!?" Li Xiangdong's eyes lit up.
"How about we go out together then?"
"Okay, okay, just me and mom?"
"There is a sister-in-law." Li Fuzhen paused, "and..."
"Do you have a father?" Li Xiangdong asked hesitantly.
Li Fuzhen looked at his bag calmly, "Do you want dad to go?"
Li Xiangdong nodded, then shook his head.
Li Fuzhen was puzzled: "Do you want to do it or not?"
"No, because he beats mom!" Li Xiangdong shook his head.
Li Fuzhen opened his mouth and held him in his arms. His eyes were slightly red. Suddenly, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, as quiet as death.
Until I got home and the door slammed shut.
"Go wash your hands first, you know."
"Know it!"
"This child..."
Li Fuzhen walked straight to the study and opened the locked drawer. It was full of evidence of Ren Youzai's various misbehaviors.
He threw the envelope in expressionlessly, then took out the divorce agreement he had drafted a long time ago, and looked at the photo frame——
There are both Li Fuzhen and Li Xiangdong.
There are also those of Li Fuzhen and Lu Fei.
Finally came home, T T, lying on my little broken bed.
