Chapter 619 Protection Fee

China and South Korea have the same definition of "national actor".

Those actors who are truly popular among the people can of course be called "national actors". Yes, Zhao Yanzi, Liu Yifei, Chen Daoming, etc. are treated equally on the Chinese side.

Both China and South Korea seek to enter Hollywood, to be able to act in Hollywood movies, and to be able to gild actors. This is the same for actors in both countries.

But South Korea has a special place. If a Korean actor can appear in a Hollywood movie, he will be called a "national actor."

In their eyes, acting in a Hollywood movie is a kind of recognized glory-there are similar sentiments in China.

That's why CJ and Lotte reacted so strongly to SM's promotion of Yoona Lin to appear in "Ex Machina".

Although a major film company did not push any Korean actor into Hollywood after Lim Yoon-ah, nor did it accept any investment from Korean capital.

But SM and Yoona Lim opened up the situation with this drama.

Cheng Yu'an's arrival in South Korea this time is to stabilize the mood of the four major filmmakers in South Korea.

Cheng Yu'an will not approve the acquisition for the time being, at least until next year, so that the studio can finish shooting all the scenes in hand.

Xijie's actions are so obvious, the acquisition of the studio is fake, but the real intention is to gain benefits from Cheng Yu'an.

They were determined that Cheng Yu'an would not give up the Korean market for a short time, and if he wanted to continue operating, he had to pay another tuition fee.

Therefore, the arena is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world.

You can't turn the table over, if the table is turned over, how can you talk about it?

On the Korean side, representatives from various companies headed by Park Geun-tae, President of CJ China Headquarters.

Cheng Yu'an and Zhou Tiedong, President of Yuanyuan Film and Television Overseas Business Department, led the long-distance party.

At the beginning, Park Geunta pretended to congratulate the movie produced by YC Studio for another big hit.

Zhou Tiedong responded with a half-smile.

He has not been in charge of long-distance overseas business for a long time, but more than ten years of experience in overseas promotion has made him handy in doing things.

He has also worked in the Korean market in the past ten years, so he has some understanding of the Korean people's behavior style.

So he has no good face towards the Koreans now, and he is obviously using public opinion to fight the autumn wind, so that he can't see people becoming bigger and stronger in his homeland.

But this is better than India.

The Indian market is easy to enter, and he officially encourages you to enter. After you enter, as long as you make some achievements, he will chase people away and take over. If the company does not agree, it will not work. You think he will play with you according to market rules, no, He'll just change the law and get you out of here.

Therefore, the development of the potato Indian market is the slowest in Asia, and it will not be fast.

The meeting was held at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul under the name of "YC Studio 2014 Annual Summary and 2015 Annual Partner Briefing".

Some activities will invite Chinese and South Korean media to participate, but this negotiation will not be publicized.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, they officially entered the theme.

The four major Korean producers represented by CJ asked to take a stake in one of Cheng Yu'an's major film companies, and they were very willing to pay. They quoted a price of 30 billion US dollars, as long as the shares were not involved in the management.

Cheng Yu'an took the case and scolded Park Gen for being too greedy: "A big film company has no organizational or personnel relationship with Remote. Today is a remote meeting. If you have such an attitude, I don't think this meeting will continue."

They all sat there dignifiedly in suits and leather shoes, each talking more ruthlessly than the other.

Cheng Yu'an didn't care, he bullied people like this, so he was not polite.

"It's a big deal for me not to do business in the Korean market, but Mr. Park, you have to think clearly about the consequences of doing so."

Pu Gentai thought that Cheng Yu'an would refuse, and their real purpose was yet to come, but he didn't expect Cheng Yu'an's reaction to be so strong.

Pu Gentai immediately comforted Cheng Yu'an: "The business is negotiated slowly, President Cheng, don't be so angry."

"I don't think you are here to discuss business. If you have such an attitude, we will return to China immediately, Tiedong, let's go."

The two bosses made a gesture to leave.

Pu Gentao hastily apologized, saying that he had not thought carefully before and uttered wild words.

Cheng Yu'an and Zhou Tiedong also went down the donkey: "I hope you can come up with a sincere cooperation plan, instead of thinking about swallowing the elephant and turning the table over so that no one can eat."

Park Geuntae proposed their cooperation intention, and they wanted to sign an exclusive agreement with YC Studio and Tudou (Korea), which will be launched on New Year's Day.

But Cheng Yu'an disagreed: "If the company wants to develop and grow, it must cooperate with various film companies. It is impossible to cooperate with only the four of you. There are many good small production companies in Korea. They may not have enough distribution capabilities, but Sometimes good films can be produced, and we can't bet all our treasures on you."

YC studio mainly cooperates with CJ, Lotte and other four major film studios. Tudou (Korea) mainly goes online, and he does not intend to be tied to the boats of the four majors. Tudou (Korea) will vigorously support small local producers to balance the entire Korean market In exchange for the security and stability of its own development.

The entire meeting lasted until the evening, when Cheng Yu'an, Zhou Tiedong and a group walked out of the hotel with tired faces.

Surrounded by Chinese reporters, they asked if there was any substantive progress in the meeting.

Cheng Yu'an didn't want to talk, Zhou Tiedong replied on his behalf: "Both sides value each other's cooperation. In today's meeting, we have reached a consensus on the general direction, but some cooperation details still need to be discussed in depth."

The reporter also understands that the meaning behind these words is that today's meeting was in vain and failed to achieve results.

Cheng Yu'an was too tired to go back to China to accompany Liu Yifei at night.Liu Yifei also told him not to fly around on the phone, but to rest in South Korea.

The meeting went on to the third day, which is the last day of 2014.

The two sides have reached only a few preliminary understandings so far.

CJ, Lotte, ShowBox and NEW each invested 25% to establish a new company. The new company will connect with a major film company and be responsible for exporting Korean films overseas.

This is Cheng Yu'an's new protection fee.

As for how to go to sea, we will talk about it later.

What YC Studio got was a $3500 million interest-free loan from the new company for future production and operations.

Cheng Yuan received the promise from Park Geuntae and others that they will do their best to ensure the safety of YC Studio and Tudou (Korea).

"We are operating normally. This kind of thing has happened twice. I don't want a third time." Cheng Yu'an finally warned Park Gentae sternly, don't try to use this method to gain benefits from him.

YC Studio operates legally, and because it has made huge profits in Korea, it has been targeted twice by Korean public opinion. Every time, CJ and the others have used these public opinions to suppress YC Studio and gain benefits from Cheng Yuan.

This kind of thing is unreasonable to the South Korean side. If it is said, the business environment in South Korea is poor, it is not friendly to foreign businessmen, and foreign businessmen are not allowed to make money in South Korea.

Park Geun-tae and others vowed to strengthen cooperation and supervision.

Cheng Yu'an temporarily managed the Korean market, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He didn't even eat the reception dinner, so he found a reason to go back to China.
