The Rise of Korean Entertainment

It's obvious who Yoona has provoked. Although she doesn't dare to say it herself, just treat it as if she stepped on dog poop while walking. The key is the dog poop along the way, one after another!

As for Li Menglong, he really provoked people. He has been extremely annoyed these days, and the level of annoyance has increased exponentially with the popularity of Xingyou.

Lee Mong-ryong didn't mean it, but it is true that many of the back-up tricks you arranged for Youxing were released this week. The biggest impact was on Running Man. It was not in vain that Lee Mong-ryong and Yoo Jae-seok tried their best to get the crew to participate in this show.

To be honest, the influence of Running Man in South Korea is not as high as expected. At least it cannot be compared with the former king programs XMAN, Two Days and One Night, Infinite Challenge, and probably even the birth of the family of the great god.

You can see it in the ratings. If the ratings of Running Man exceed 20%, it is considered high. Moreover, the ratings usually fluctuate greatly, and occasionally they can be as low as single digits.

It’s not that its ratings are low, after all, We Got Married’s ratings have always been in single digits, and it’s doing well, but it seems that it can’t afford the title of a TV station’s top variety show based on its ratings alone.

After all, KBS back then had two days and one night, which was a variety show that consistently exceeded 30%, and MBC's Infinite Challenge, which exceeded 20%, was just like eating and drinking.

So it makes sense that SBS can continue Running Man. Although Running Man seems to be less popular in China, it has a huge audience and influence overseas.

This is similar to The Star. In order to cater to the local market, many variety shows and TV series will add a lot of scenes and plots that only Koreans like. It is understandable to please the domestic ratings.

But once you can get out of the Korean market and gain recognition from overseas audiences in terms of plot and model, this will be great. Not to mention Running Man can still earn a lot of ratings in China. Even if the Running Man team falls apart one day, SBS will Keep using this sign until people overseas no longer pay attention.

Maybe overseas influence is a bit illusory, but if you have to convert it into money, if a variety show can have overseas influence, these TV stations will spend 10 billion or even tens of billions without hesitation.

So with the help of Running Man, your name finally spread across the ocean and began to slowly spread in Asia. And Yoona happened to be somewhat famous in this three-thirds of an acre, so it was logical. Your star began to circulate in private forums in various countries.

As for the abuse or praise, it's not what Li Menglong cares about. He still can't care about the people in China. Girls' Generation or idol specials have also been broadcast over there.

When the ratings came out that night, Lee Soon Kyu called everyone out again. Although it did not reach the terrifying result of breaking 20%, it was 18%, which still broke the ratings record for cable TV variety shows so far. .

Seeing Li Sungyu dancing happily, Li Menglong didn't have much to say, so he just smiled and complimented him, which was indeed worthy of praise.

But if you have to say why Lee Soon Kyu is successful, the star-studded lineup of idols is definitely the biggest reason. Of course, the idols chatting, doing farm work, and cooking and eating seem to be quite interesting.

"Hmph! Don't even look at how much money I spent! If the ratings can't go up, I, Lee Soon Kyu, might as well be killed!" Lee Soon Kyu shouted proudly with his hands on his hips.

At this time, the ratings were out, and it was hard for anyone to confront Lee Soon Kyu, who would just stick his face in and hit her, so everyone squinted their sleepy eyes and kept mumbling: "Wow, you are so awesome! "You are the best!" "Lee Soon Kyu is invincible..."

It should be considered that all the hardships come with joy, at least Xu Xian thinks so. After the endless darkness some time ago, it seems that good things are coming one after another and somersaulting over, and he can't catch them.

And Li Menglong is definitely not the happiest one among them. At least he is not as happy as Li Shungui. The phone of this damn girl has not been disconnected in the past few days. Why is Xiaomin calling so blindly to encourage Li Shunkyu.

As for the instigation, it was natural to ask Director Li to start a new show. Of course, this Director Li was not Li Menglong. Lee Soon Kyu was also a little tempted. After all, it seemed that he was very talented in coaching. It didn't seem that difficult to shoulder the responsibility of being a writer, PD, and producer.

Li Menglong decided to make her happy for two days first. If Li Soonkyu really spoke, even if SW didn't pay, at least tvn would be happy to fund a program for her.

If there are mature ideas, Li Menglong will not object, but if you just want to keep inviting idols to come, then forget it. This kind of show... maybe some people will actually watch it! Li Menglong had to think in despair.

Lee Soon Kyu's happiness still has its limits. The one who is happier is not among the girls, but in SW's company. Lee Eun Hee chews lemons that are so sour that it feels like chewing gum.

She has long since lost her sense of taste because of the joy in her brain. It doesn't matter if she is asked to eat a lemon now, even if she eats Xiang, she can still taste chocolate.

We can’t blame Lee Eun Hee for her heavy taste. Can Lee Soo Man handle it? If FX and Red Velvet suddenly become as popular as Girls' Generation due to inexplicable s*m, and three of Asia's top girl groups appear in the company, look at whether Lee Soo Man will have a stroke!

That is to say, Lee Eun-hee is young, and her blood vessels are more resistant to pressure. A slightly older person would not be able to withstand it. As for the reason for her joy, it is naturally the ratings. If you want to know, please answer, star, and three meals a day. They are all the works of her company!

Not to mention the derived attention to the company, the endorsements and commercial performances of Kim Taeyeon, Yoona and others, and even SW's own fame and overseas influence.

Li Enxi now seems to have picked up money, which is still the cash transport box left by the criminal. After all, it was a standout show in the beginning, and you are already looking like it will be reduced to an eight-block TV series.

But who knew that things would turn around and Star You would suddenly soar into the sky. This time, SW began to dominate the two TV series with the highest ratings on both cable and wireless channels. This was a scene that she did not dare to imagine even in her dreams.

In particular, the rise of Star Ni has given Lee Eun-hee more room to maneuver. Again, similar to Reply, a TV drama about Korean parents' shortcomings and changing times, it will not become very big even if it is watched overseas.

It would be better to take a route like Star You, which is simple and crude, with a simple plot and a man who loves a woman. If Lee Kwang Soo could be more handsome, it would be perfect. However, despite its flaws, Star You still has the qualifications to move overseas.

If Li Menglong could stand here, Li Eunxi would really endure his sexual orientation and kiss him hard, because Star You is exclusively produced by SW, which is equivalent to MBC buying the broadcast rights from them.

This right generally includes first-run, second-run, online broadcast and overseas distribution rights, but when we first negotiated, Li Menglong directly made a decision that the overseas copyright should remain in his own hands.

Li Enxi and the others have really spent a lot of money on this, and they just have to give up the benefits. The key is that this kind of thing is rarely useful. Is it really worthwhile to pay real money for this illusory right?

What a bargain! It’s a huge profit! This is Lee Eun-hee's answer now. This overseas broadcasting right will definitely become more and more valuable. There are already Japanese TV stations asking about exclusive broadcasting through MBC.

However, SW's overseas influence is still not enough, so we still have to negotiate through MBC. This is why Li Enxi strongly suggested that Li Menglong extend the number of episodes. Give SW some more time, and I will not force you next time!

Naturally, Li Menglong didn't know what Li Enxi was thinking, because she didn't dare to come directly and say it herself, otherwise Li Menglong would definitely slap him in the face. It was as if he was not satisfied after earning five million and insisted on earning another ten million, but he was suffering and tired. It’s not her Li Eun Hee!

Lying on the director's couch on the set, it was the only one in the shooting location for the entire crew. Yoona and others were in a far corner in the back. This was the director's prerogative.

It's just that Li Menglong was too busy some time ago to enjoy it. This is what he snatched from Yoona today. Why do actresses have recliners to rest, but he, the director, doesn't?

He tilted his head and looked at the monitor in the distance, shook his head indifferently, and then looked at the blue sky again. He even felt that it was good to take a nap. He would rest for half an hour, then have lunch, and then take another hour and a half lunch break. Spend the hottest time and shoot for two or three hours in the afternoon and call it a day.

This is the working status of Li Menglong and the crew recently. They are all lazy. It's not that they are not interested, but there are really not many things to shoot. They can finish it in a few days.

However, Li Menglong felt that it was not easy for this group of people to film this movie. In addition, it seemed that this movie would make a lot of money, so he simply came up with a slow job to do a detailed job, which would allow everyone to earn two more days of wages. .

"Oppa, this is tomorrow's lunch menu!" Xu Xian handed over a piece of paper.

"Just watch and do it!" Li Menglong waved his hand indifferently. He didn't want to find a sense of presence in such a trivial matter: "But that fried yam and meat is almost enough. Although everyone doesn't say it, you can't eat it every day. ah!"

"Hmph! Then I can eat at the head office by myself!"

"That's not what you meant. You should try another approach!" Li Menglong persuaded with a wry smile. Xu Xian didn't bother to argue with him. He hesitated and said, "Is Oppa too busy?"

"Is there any? Maybe! It's a bit unspiritual!" Li Menglong always had the truth about Xu Xian, so it was rare for him to tell the truth.

Xu Xian naturally saw that something was wrong with the entire crew, and the source was Li Menglong. The reason for his laziness was simply that there was nothing to do after the filming was over, so the solution was to find something for him to do.

So Seohyun once again said the same old thing: "Oppa, let's shoot a few more episodes!"

Li Menglong had heard this suggestion thousands of times in the past few days, and this time he had the mildest reaction: "Uh..."
