The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 135 Subtitle Group, External Sales Department
2001年12月20日上午9点30分，燕京地区格外冷，气温零下两度。

In the Fenghua Film and Television Company of Liangmahe Building, amidst the applause, Li Shengyao announced two important things.

"The subtitle team of Fenghua Film and Television Company was established."

"The foreign sales department was established."

Li Shengyao had already told his assistant to recruit talents for the company, and went to Yenching Foreign Studies University to recruit people.

It's been two months, and finally there are results. Just a few days ago, the subtitle team of Fenghua Film and Television Company recruited a group of people, a total of 20 people, most of them are part-timers, and they will be responsible for dubbing the company's dramas. English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese four languages.

In addition, the company has also recruited six foreign trade talents. Among these six people, three of them are excellent in English, and the other three can speak Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese respectively.

The six of them are members of the external sales department, and they will be responsible for promoting the TV series of Fenghua Film and Television Company.

Even though they were two small departments, Li Shengyao valued them very much. He flew here from Shanghai specially to strengthen the prestige of these two departments.

In addition to Li Shengyao, and Chen Xun in Yanjing, Zhang Guoli, Deng Jie and his wife came to join us.

After the employees dispersed, Chen Xun and Deng Jie held hands to talk. Li Shengyao asked Zhang Guoli to sit down, "Teacher Zhang, drink tea."

Looking at the young employees of Fenghua Film and Television Company, Zhang Guoli felt a sense of vigor and envy in his heart, "Director Li, your company is doing really well."

"Mr. Zhang, you're being polite. I don't have any management experience. The main reason is to find a few professionals to help me manage the company."

Zhang Guoli shook his head, "No matter where you are, you have done a good job. There is no young man in the mainland entertainment industry who is better than you."

Lao Zhang praised Li Shengyao in front of reporters.

Last time, he took someone to visit the crew, even though Li Shengyao didn't agree with his suggestion.

This time it came again, and the good words continued.

Li Shengyao was puzzled, but at the same time he dealt with it cautiously.

There is no love for no reason in this world.

Lao Zhang is definitely the most popular actor in domestic entertainment now. "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" and "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" are two series of bases. Every year, more than two TV dramas of him can enter the top ten of the annual ratings .

There are also high-scoring dramas such as "This Life of Mine" and "Loyalty".

It really needs a market to have a market, and word of mouth to have a word of mouth.

Lao Zhang has definitely made money, and has status and face. Female stars are rushing to join the group of "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview". He doesn't have to ask Li Shengyao.

"What is this subtitle group doing?"

"It's just subtitles. Don't our dramas have Chinese characters? I plan to dub English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic for the dramas of Fenghua Film and Television Company in the future. In this case, if a foreigner buys them, it will be considered that there is no dubbing." , they can see what is being said by reading the subtitles.”

Lao Zhang raised his teacup and thought about it seriously, "I see, you want to make it easier for foreign audiences to watch Chinese dramas, right?"

"That's what it means."

In Lee Seung Yew's previous life, when Korean TV dramas were just sold, they would take the initiative to add subtitles. At first, people from Peninsula did it themselves. Later, when Korean dramas took over the market, it was the buyers who did the subtitles.

To show his sincerity, Lee Shengyao planned to make subtitles himself.

"Then you, the foreign sales department?"

"This is to help the company sell dramas."

Zhang Guoli looked over in confusion, "Isn't your drama sold to Xinmatai? There is also a big oil country, where do you want to sell it?"

"There are still a lot of Guo Jia in Asia, like Philippine Island, Indian Island, Xiya, and South Magnesium. There are many Guo Jia in those places. Those places don't have the ability to produce TV dramas. TV stations usually buy dramas, and the market is huge."

Zhang Guoli looked at Li Shengyao, not knowing what to say for a while.

In the entire Chinese film and television industry, it is estimated that only brother Cheng Long can sell his works to those little Guo Jia who are unfamiliar to many people.

Everyone thinks they are poor and there is no need to talk to them.

But he didn't expect Li Shengyao to be willing to do this kind of business.

If Li Shengyao is really able to make it, it will be really great, and he will be a great contributor to spreading culture by then.

The world is so big, and there are so many Guo Jias, with the quality of "Love Hotel" and "Winter Sonata", there will always be one or two Guo Jias who will accept it.

Even if this business does not make money, it can still be praised and recognized by the above.

For a while, Lao Zhang was a little moved.

"Director Li, does your company accept shares?"

Li Shengyao shook his head, "I don't have any plans for now."

Now is the time for the company to make money. Isn't investing in shares just giving money to people?
Li Shengyao did not have this hobby.

Lao Zhang just asked, he has his own company, and he only accepts the Wang brothers to mix in it, and other people can't.

He was silent for a moment, then thought of something.

If Fenghua Film and Television Company really creates an external sales channel, in the future, it will not only sell its own company's dramas, but also help sell other companies' dramas, then wouldn't it mean that it has mastered the way of exporting Chinese dramas.

Don't other companies that want to earn foreign exchange demand Fenghua Film and Television Company.

After doing it like this, Li Shengyao will definitely become a big boss. In the TV drama industry, I am afraid that no one can match his power.

So young, so raw.

For a while, Lao Zhang didn't know what to say.

Most of his dramas are historical dramas and cannot be sold, so naturally he doesn't need to ask Li Shengyao.

But some people who shoot modern dramas will definitely try to curry favor.

Is he going to sabotage it?

He immediately rejected this idea. He has already been recognized and valued by the higher-ups, and the higher-ups meant to make Li Shengyao a role model for internal entertainment.

It can be said that as long as Lee Shengyao has no principled mistakes, even if he makes mistakes that all men in the world will make, no one can touch him.

Cheng Long is like this, he is a symbol of Huaxia, and it has been kept on it.

Then he thought about the purpose of this time.

The Huayi Wang family brothers were still not reconciled and wanted to cooperate with Fenghua Film and Television Company.

Before Zhang Guoli came, he was thinking about how to say it, but now he didn't want to say it, he didn't want to offend Li Shengyao.

He could see that Li Shengyao looked down on the Wang brothers.

That's right, if we really want to make the sale of Chinese dramas out of China, the higher-ups must pay more attention to it.

"Director Li, today is an eye-opener for me. I really admire your layout. It's amazing."

Lao Zhang exaggerated again.

He planned to stop helping Huayi to spread the word, and build a good relationship with Li Shengyao, which might be useful in the future.

After chatting for a while, Lao Zhang took the initiative to leave.

He came here this time just to say nice words.

Go very quickly.

Li Shengyao didn't know why, but he was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he had nothing to lose. He was very cautious and calm just now, and didn't promise anything.

He also didn't have the heart to intrigue.

Now that the company's subtitle team and external sales department have been established, it can be regarded as the initial realization of his plan.

The next step is to sell the drama, and it must be sold.

Follow the path of Korean dramas, leaving them nowhere to go.

And he himself is seriously preparing for "Signal", earning awards to improve his performance.

Companies and individuals go hand in hand.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, then walked out of the office, clapped his hands and shouted: "The company treats guests to a big meal at noon, everyone prepare it."
