The Rise of Korean Entertainment

(Xu Xian can live on this personal skill for the rest of his life. If you are interested, you can check it out. It’s quite funny. You can save your mother by yourself: just use Xu Xian as a minion. Just watch the tts three-person version)

"What was that sound just now? Was it funny?"

"Huh? Did I just say something?" Xu Xian himself didn't know yet.

Fortunately, both Kim and Taeyeon are very familiar with Seohyun's every move. Of course, it can be said that it was forced. The first thing Xu Xian recommended to them was the frog sergeant, which is similar to the Seven Gourd Babies in China.

Although she also grew up watching Frog Sergeant, Kim Taeyeon said that she has no love for these things since she was seven years old, not to mention that she is already over 20, so she would feel uncomfortable if she likes this thing anymore.

So Xu Xian kindly shared his hobbies and got nothing but a wave of merciless ridicule. Fortunately, there was no compromise or giving up in Xu Xian's dictionary, so Xu Xian kept making persistent efforts.

Everything from dinosaurs to Avatar and other weird things are pushed to girls, and the latest ones cannot be said to be very recent. Before meeting Li Menglong, the last thing Seohyun pushed was the voice of a supporting character in a 10-year-old cartoon. Almost all the girls fall asleep with this brainwashing voice, which makes them miserable.

So when they just heard Xu Xian's subconscious words, both of them thought of those unbearable days: "I told you, maknae, you are not going to pick up this bad hobby again, are you?"

"Stop it, those people are not cute at all, they are just beans!"

"No, it's a yellow capsule!" Xu Xian finally knew what the minions were talking about. It turned out that she had just subconsciously imitated the voice of the minions she once loved so much.

"What are minions?" Li Menglong asked in a naive manner.

"This is very complicated to explain. You must have never seen the Despicable Me cartoon, let alone know that there are a bunch of yellow capsule-shaped lunatics in it, and their speech is extremely brainwashing!" Li Shunkyu spoke at the same time. He directly searched out the picture of the minions and handed it to Li Menglong.

In the movie, the minions are absolutely supporting characters, and they even have very little voice. However, after a few imitations by Xu Xian, Li Menglong felt that Xu Xian's voice seemed to be what these guys should say, which was extremely fun.

Xu Xian himself was also excited. He practiced hard and wanted to have his own personal skills. However, the minions did not become popular, and his imitation was ridiculed by the Ernies.

After waiting for two years, Xu Xian finally found his soulmate. He couldn't hide his excitement and started talking nonsense. Of course, he used the Minion's high-pitched and cute voice.

"Isn't that nice to hear? What's your aesthetic?"

"I should say this, what are your aesthetics?" Li Shungui glared at Li Menglong speechlessly.

If she didn’t know Li Menglong very well, she would have suspected that Li Menglong was a huge fan of Xu Xian. How about being so in tune with each other? It doesn’t matter if you love reading and studying. How can you also like such unpopular things?

"Can this one speak Korean or sing or something?"

"Yes, the minions like to eat bananas, so the Ernies and I even made a banana song!" Xu Xian was so excited that he almost flew into the air.

"Let me be clear, it was you who created this thing and forced us to sing with you!" Kim Taeyeon clearly expressed her position, but then she was forced to perform again with Seohyun.

If it is a song, it is more appropriate to call it a melody or a ringtone, and Kim Taeyeon and Kim Taeyeon only serve as a vocal accompaniment. Seohyun himself was shouting "banana" excitedly throughout the whole process!

"So happy? I said if you have nothing to do, I can help you find some!" Li Enxi pushed the door open and entered.

It’s no wonder she’s full of resentment. She’s been breaking her legs over the past few days for this release. These guys are still here playing the voice-changing game? Even the joy of seeing Kim Taeyeon was washed away!

"You don't understand this. We are thinking about creative ideas for the company's movie titles!" After Li Menglong said this, Kim Taeyeon and others burst into laughter. Except for them who have experienced it personally, who would believe it?

Li Menglong didn't hesitate and directly handed the phone to Li Enxi: "Try to practice with me and see if you can use the copyright of this!"

"Oh risk? Warner! My president, am I too ignorant? Why did a Warner company come out of Korea?" Li Enxi's words made several girls laugh softly, but for Li Menglong, he was the least funny. What a joke, because he doesn't know what Warner is.

So Li Enxi could only explain to him how good Warner is. The global box office of this movie alone exceeded 1 billion US dollars. Will people pay attention to you, a small Korean company?

Li Menglong scratched his head, took the phone awkwardly, and then quickly browsed the movie: "The minions in this movie are not the protagonists at first glance. It can be said that they are made up or specially made for fun, so the film company does not You must pay attention to it!”

"Secondly, we don't buy the right to adapt it, right? It's just the right to use an image! So if we give you a little money, the other party will agree, right?" Although Li Menglong's analysis was sound, he was not entirely sure.

"Okay! But do we have to use this?" Li Enxi didn't care. It was just a matter of sending some emails. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the other party.

"Try your best, I'll leave first if it doesn't matter!" After Li Menglong said this, he wanted to run away, because he always felt that Li Enxi came to block him on purpose. This was also true, because there was trouble again.

If the TV series is badly shot, there will naturally be a lot of trouble. Ask the broadcasting platform for more money, more advertising space, or even cut it in half; but if the TV series is well shot, there will be troubles. Now please answer 1997 and face this. question.

The short answer is that Reply has been picked up by the three major TV stations and several cable TV stations. Among them, the one with the toughest attitude is KBS. After all, the vice president in charge of TV dramas at KBS who made a big mistake in 1995 is still there. Bit.

So this time it’s a new grudge combined with an old grudge, and he knows how to package it this time. After all, SW can’t be manipulated casually anymore. What he said to the upper management of KBS is that after 1995, Reply 1997 will definitely be a big hit, so he convinced Everyone, let him fully pursue the rights to this TV series.

And here is a literal trap, or a change in attitude! Everyone’s intention is to use better conditions to win the competition! But the vice president did change his approach and started to put pressure on SW.

This time it’s not his personal attitude, but the entire KBS, and SW is no longer a small company with only a few people. They have their own artists and their own demands. KBS can now control them. There are so many places.

"So? Now what do they mean?"

"The price offered is less than half of the others. If you don't agree, KBS will directly ban all SW-related things!" Li Enxi said calmly, without adding any personal emotion.

Li Menglong knocked hard on the floor with one hand, his eyes kept closing while his brain was running rapidly. Due to the serious atmosphere and this serious topic, the three girls even breathed a little cautiously.

I really didn’t expect that when I came to SW for the first time after signing the contract, I would encounter something like this. I was directly pressured by a TV station. It was KBS, one of the three major channels, and it was state-owned!

It’s hard to say how much impact a TV station’s ban will have on Girls’ Generation. The impact on Girls’ Generation will be minimal, because KBS doesn’t want to see them, and the other two will happily invite girls over.

Although KBS is state-owned, it has no soft use in the face of the market economy. The most important thing is that it produces singing programs, TV dramas and variety shows, and girls don't care.

I don’t even care about the other artists of SW, such as Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye. However, Yoo Jae Suk may have an influence, but it’s just a possibility, and his main players are SBS’s Running Man and MBC’s Wuchao.

So in this calculation, the biggest impact is on exid, which has not yet been released. It has not many programs and resources after its debut, and it will be cut off by one-third. Especially, KBS’s Music Bank is still very influential in the music industry. big.

And if once the positive situation comes down, there will be many subsequent impacts. For example, some large-scale official activities are led by KBS. If you are more sensible, you should choose to compromise, but this is Li Menglong!

With the sound of his fist hitting the floor, Li Menglong made a decision directly: "Let them get lost! Whoever bows his head first will be his grandson!"

No one from the girls or Li Enxi tried to persuade him, because it was this man's decision, and all they could do was to find and fill in the gaps, not to change it.

As for Li Menglong's seemingly impulsive decision, he naturally had his own considerations. The first thing was money. As the gift for Room 7 would inevitably cost money, everyone in the company pointed to this movie "Please Reply" for the Chinese New Year in 1997. It was half missing. The income is far from enough!

Secondly, there is the grudge against KBS. When Director Luo and his gang came out, they were thrown into a trap by tvn. Why did the other party succeed? It’s not that no one in Director Luo’s group dared to take them, the reason was naturally KBS’s expression behind them. After all, KBS wanted everyone to see a group of traitors cornered and impoverished.

However, with the help of Li Menglong, Director Luo has now made a gorgeous transition from a variety show PD to a TV drama director, which can be regarded as a slap in the face to KBS.

So if we start from here, SW and KBS have a feud, which is not easy to resolve.

The last point is Li Menglong's personal consideration. If you look at a person, you can roughly know his character just by looking at his friends. This is true! But at the same time, watching his enemies can also achieve this effect!

So Li Menglong has consciously set a target for SW, at least to let those who want to cause trouble in the future consider it first. We are not afraid of KBS, how about you?

As for the consequences of confronting a TV station, at least there is no precedent to learn from. Of course, it may have happened but not been exposed. After all, even if it is a quarrel with KBS this time, both parties will find an excuse to cover it up.

Now that he has made a decision, Li Menglong naturally no longer thinks about it. All he can think about is trying his best to make things better, and the general idea is already in Li Menglong's mind.

"Let me try to talk about it. I don't know how you have such a brain!" After listening to Li Menglong's thoughts, Li Enxi had to give Li Menglong a thumbs up. Direction is more important than hard work, and what Li Menglong did was point the direction. , it is unclear whether it relies on wisdom or the sixth sense.
