Chapter 983: Sprint to Market 2
In 2016, iQiyi wanted to launch business in Taiwan.

But it couldn't enter the island, so it had to find a local agent to operate the platform. It signed a five-year agreement and its performance was pretty good, with 5 million paying members.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Taiwan soon followed the American father and began to impose sanctions and devised an "iQiyi Clause" to the effect that it was prohibited from "providing agency services" to it.

Just as the five-year deadline was coming, iQiyi withdrew.

The people cursed.

Because this incident was so funny, some media exposed it, saying that Cai likes to watch dramas before going to bed, such as "Story of Yanxi Palace", "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and other palace dramas.

Therefore, "Only officials are allowed to watch dramas, and ordinary people are not allowed to watch movies!"

We all know the virtues of the island. When Taiwan has a power outage, our Internet becomes quieter; when Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not send money, our Internet becomes even quieter...

Now that Hugelive wants to enter, Taiwan does not have the strategic position of Hong Kong and cannot be a base camp. It is purely to earn members.Yao Yuan's approach will be more brutal. There are more than 1000 million netizens in Taiwan, so there is great potential.

…………

Japan.

Hugelive's first episode "The Naked Director" is currently being filmed.

The starring role is Takayuki Yamada, whose representative works include "Call for Love in the Center of the World", "White Night Walk", and "Hot Blood High School".

When it comes to Japanese male artists, one company is often inseparable from Johnny's. This is a management agency that specializes in male celebrities. The boss is named Kitagawa, who likes to pout beautiful boys.

It includes Takuya Kimura, Hideaki Takizawa, Tomohisa Yamashita, Ryosuke Yamada, Hiroshi Nagano, etc. Hiroshi Nagano is the Oku in "Ultraman"...

But Takayuki Yamada is really not. He is from Stardust Communications. This company is just the opposite of Johnny's. The female artists are very outstanding, including Takako Tokiwa, Yuki Shibasaki, Keiko Kitagawa, etc.

Yamada Takayuki can occupy a position in it, and his popularity is evident.

A star like this will basically not participate in pornographic movies. The reason why he appeared in "The Naked Director" is, well, he gave too much...

This drama is about Japan in the 80s. The male protagonist is unemployed, his wife is cheating, and his life is gloomy. Then he accidentally meets a young man who has a serious job: he specializes in eavesdropping on couples doing things in the hourly room and recording their voices on tape. Sold outside, sales are very good.

The male protagonist realized the vast market of the porn industry, decided to join in, and became a director...

It can also be considered a nostalgic drama, taking the audience to understand the development history of the Japanese AV industry. For example, in the past, actresses were all fake, but due to serious involution, they gradually became real.

At this moment on the set, Dark Chirei - Hatano Yui is wrapped in a white nightgown and waiting for the set.

She debuted in 08. When she was young, she had a first-class figure and a slim waist. Later, she lost shape. She was still fighting on the front line until 2023. She can only say that veterans will never die.

The role she plays is, well, the "first real actress in the industry."

"Crack!"

The director finished filming the next scene and waved: "Yui-chan, it's your turn!"

"Ok!"

Teacher Yui stood up and tugged with her professionally trained hands, wow!
The scene suddenly became anxious.

The crew is working very seriously for Boss Yao's members.

Because of the special environment in Japan, Yao Yuan did not make a big bet. His strategy was to focus on quality rather than quantity, and use Japan's cultural background to export and attract members from other regions. Like this "Naked Director", the LSPs mentioned in this chapter will definitely like it.

And out of my own bad taste, in addition to Teacher Yui, there is also an actress named Aoi Mukai, who just debuted this year.

Dark Chi Ling and Dark Amber Kuo are both so weak, and Aoi Mukai is Dark Han!
With her short hair and glasses, she looks surprisingly similar to Han Han. Han Han also joked on Weibo: "The economy is not good, so I have to work part-time."

Aoi Mukai is also very interesting. He posted a photo of himself and Han Han on Twitter, calling him "Brother~"

…………

at the same time.

Thailand’s mockumentary “The Medium” is also being filmed.Indonesia's "The Queen of Descendants" is in preparation.

The Malaysian horror film "Southern Witches" has been completed. Let's briefly talk about this film:
A Chinese family living in Kedah (a state in Malaysia) was raped by a Thai neighbor. The husband was about to die, so the wife went to a cave to seek help from the mountain god. With her help, she defeated the raped man.

The Mountain Goddess Granny was a princess of Quanzhou in the Tang Dynasty. She came to Kedah with rice and a big boat, and had a conflict with the local wizard. The wizard ordered the elephant to suck up the sea water and turned the whole boat into a mountain. The princess was sealed in the mountain. You will never be able to return to your homeland... This is a legend among the local Chinese.

Yao Yuan has always emphasized that East Asia and Southeast Asia have cultural commonalities, and they should be invaded, oh no, develop the market well.

Such as head-dropping, witchcraft, Maoshan magic, and Mahakala Buddha, they can form a cultural circle with no barriers to viewing in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Myanmar.

Oh, forget about Myanmar, Erkang can’t come back from that place...

In short, while Netflix is ​​still focusing on the Western market, Hugelive is already conquering cities and expanding rapidly in Asia.

Yao Yuan uses Hong Kong and South Korea as the production center, Asia as the basic base, and North America as the strategic location to compete with Netflix and future Disney, Amazon, Apple, etc.

For example, "Train to Busan" will be released simultaneously across Asia.

He believes that Asians will be interested because zombies are a patent of Western cultural circles, and we play with zombies - this is the starting point of Eastern zombie movies.

Seoul.

A high-end barbecue restaurant.

The reason why barbecue restaurants can be called high-end is because they sell Korean beef, which is Korean local beef, and costs several hundred yuan per pound.

"Zi Liu!"

Screenwriter Qian Chengri couldn't help but drool a little, looking at the large plates of meat on the table was like a dream, and what's even more awesome was that there was watermelon!
Oh my god, watermelon! ! !
What is the status of watermelon in Korea?That’s when athletes come to China to participate in the Winter Olympics. Athletes have to eat all kinds of things and pack them away secretly afterward!

This was reported by the Japanese team...

"teacher!"

Jin Minyong, the head of Hugelive Korea, raised his hand to pour him a glass of wine and made a gesture of inviting him to a meal.

"It cost you money!"

Qian Chengri felt a little ashamed and started eating without any ceremony.

He is a famous screenwriter, with his representative works "Pushing a Slave" and "Civil Servant Seventh Level". He won the Best Screenplay at the Baeksang Arts Awards - this is the highest award in the Korean television industry, equivalent to our Feitian Award + Golden Eagle Award.

But even so, Korean beef is not always affordable.

While entertaining, Jin Minyong expressed his intention and wanted him to write a script.Qian Chengri naturally knew what he was doing and asked, "Do you want to customize it? What type is it?"

"It's not custom-made, it needs to be adapted by you."

"adaptation?"

Qian Chengri was a little unhappy. After all, I am a famous screenwriter. He asked: "Which novel is the original work?"

"It's not a novel, it's a comic."

"Axi!"

He stood up awkwardly, still chewing Korean beef, and said angrily: "I am a screenwriter who has won the Baeksang Arts Award, and you want me to adapt a manga? Is this how you treat artists? You are so rude. Got it!
I won't accompany you! "

He walked away, insulted.

"..."

Jin Minyong was stunned at first, then shrugged.

(and also……)
