Chapter 587 Going to Korea
Villa, courtyard.

Liu Shishi walked under the parasol, put the washed grapes on the table, and waved to her nephew.

"Qiqi, let me ask you a question. There are 6 grapes. You give 3 to your sister. How many do you have left?"

Zhou Qi came trotting over, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his tender white paws, took two fruits from the basket, and showed them in his mouth. His cheeks were puffed up, and his answer was quite loud.

“There are three more!”

Liu Shishi was very pleased that the boy was teachable.

"If you give 6 of the 4 grapes to your sister, how many will you have left?"

Zhou Qi tilted his head, his eyes went blank, and he fell into deep thought. Then he said angrily, "Aunt is biased!"

Liu Shishi: "."

Zhou Yaoyao was lying on the small table scratching her head. Her damn uncle had enrolled her in a painting class without even asking for her consent.

I have less time to bully my brother.

Her mind was not on painting at all. She pricked up her ears and said contemptuously, "Qiqi is a big idiot. You still have two left."

Zhou Qi first hid behind her aunt to ensure her safety, and retorted: "Qiqi is not stupid, sister is stupid, sister got 45 points in math."

"Zhou Qi!!"

Facing her sister's menacing gaze, Zhou Qi lowered her eyes and said weakly, "Sister got 45 points in math."

"Is this the only sentence you can say?"

"My uncle said that my sister is a little fool. I can get 46 points in the exam in the future."

He walked out from behind Liu Shishi, raised his arms and pointed to the sky: "I must be better than you!"

Zhou Yaoyao was furious. She put down her paintbrush and was about to stand up and unscrew his crown.

Lu Jia glared at her and said, "Draw quickly. Look at what you drew. You ate the neck of a giraffe. If you don't know better, you might think it's a mule."

"This giraffe didn't grow well in its mother's belly." Zhou Yaoyao tried to argue.

"Yeah, just like you, my brain is not well developed."

"Hmph, bad mother."

Zhou Yaoyao felt very aggrieved. She picked up the eraser and started rubbing it with a huff, a bit of a temper, and using all her strength.

Then the drawing paper broke.

Zhou Yaoyao: (*^_)
Zhou Yaoyao was startled, like a frightened bird, and looked at her old mother cautiously out of the corner of her eye.

Lu Jia: (*￣︿￣)
At this moment, Lu Jia wished she could stuff her daughter back into her stomach and transform her again.

Zhou Qi was very happy when he saw his mother scolding his sister. He clenched his fists and wanted to give her a few slaps. He looked up and said, "Aunt, what is a mule?"

Liu Shishi gave him some scientific knowledge: "The hybrid of a horse and a donkey is called a mule."

"What is hybridization?"

"It means having a baby."

"When will my aunt give birth to a baby?"

Liu Shishi is so annoyed. Why does this little brat ask so many questions? He is not cute at all.

"Come, eat the grapes and shut your mouth."

Zhou Qi hadn't finished showing off yet, so he dodged her feeding and asked curiously, "Aunt, are police dogs a cross between police officers and dogs?"

What the hell is going on? Liu Shishi was at a loss as to what to do with this. The grape in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Zhou Qi picked it up swiftly and rubbed it on his clothes like a treasure.

"Throw it away, it's dirty."

"Oh."

Zhou Qi obediently agreed and went to find a trash can.

Two cars approached outside the yard, and Tang Yan got out from the passenger seat with a small gift box in his hand.

Liu Shishi patted his nephew's butt and said, "Go and call your uncles. Tell them that Uncle Zhu and Uncle Luo are here."

"Okay." Zhou Qi ran into the house holding the green grapes that he had not yet thrown away.

In the study, Lu Yuan and Han Sanping ended their call.

As if it was pre-arranged, several more calls came in, from the leaders of major TV stations.

"My Love from the Star" has not yet started filming, but Hunan Satellite TV has already collected a sky-high advertising fee of 11 billion yuan, making other domestic TV stations jealous.

First, she complained to him why he didn't inform her in advance, and then she started asking about the news related to the second TV series.

Lu Yuan said that he would notify us after filming starts. As for how to arrange "The Cliff", he is still considering it.

I put my phone down and prepared to continue thinking about the script and lines when I suddenly heard a creaking sound behind me.

He turned his head and found his short nephew prying through the crack of the door, and the dog was staring at him furtively.

"What are you doing? Come in."

When Zhou Qi ran over, Lu Yuan held him on his lap, wiped the corner of his mouth, and saw that he was holding a green grape in his hand.

"Good nephew, your love is not in vain."

This guy doesn't care whether it's clean or not, or whether the other person is willing or not, he just finishes it in one gulp.

Zhou Qi blinked and stared at the trash can next to the desk in a daze.

"What do you want to see me for?"

"My aunt said that Uncle Luo and Uncle Zhu are here."

"Just the two of them?"

"And two older sisters."

When Lu Yuan came out carrying his nephew, Zhou Yaoyao was being chased around the yard by the old woman.

"Zhou Yaoyao, I am Shu Daoshan, please stop right there."

"No!"

Although the little guy has short legs, he can run very fast.

He turned left and right, very flexibly, and looked back from time to time and retorted, which was no different from mocking, making the old woman so angry that she put her hands on her hips and cursed.

The old woman glanced over, and Lu Yuan's heart trembled. He waved his hand hurriedly: "Yaoyao, come here quickly, I will help you stop it."

Zhou Yaoyao believed it and ran to hide behind her uncle.

"Uncle, help me, my mother is going to hang me on the tree."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Lu Yuan grabbed her arm, looked up, and his expression changed: "Sister, I caught you."

Zhou Yaoyao was dumbfounded and struggled hard, but to no avail. Lu Yuan grabbed her collar like a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Ah, bad uncle, I hate you!"

Zhou Yaoyao's world collapsed and she would never believe her uncle's lies again.

Leaving the little guy to the old woman to deal with, ignoring her resentful eyes, Lu Yuan turned his attention to Zhu Yawen and others.

Knowing that he had been in the villa for the past few days, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin brought their girlfriends to have a free meal, under the pretext of emotional exchange.

"Please give your orders to Daji, master."

"Where is my Diao Chan!"

"Oh, I'm dying, Jiani, please give me some milk." Liu Shishi was leading everyone to play in a group and having a lot of fun.

Tang Yan said: "And me, and me, eh, who am I?"

"Oops, it's stuck, you two move back!"

"Jia Ni, heal me first, why are you running away? I still have a little health left. How can a jungler chase a support all over the map?" Zhu Yawen felt very uncomfortable. Luo Jin also complained: "That's right, we two are the main output, let's look at the results."

"Stop making noise and stay out of women's business." Shen Jiani randomly pressed the virtual keys on the screen.

"That's right, shut up." Tang Yan finally found his hero in the crowd.

Shen Jiani is Zhu Yawen's girlfriend. She is from Shanghai. She was a gymnast in her early years and later switched to acting. She is one year younger than Zhu Yawen, and they are in a sister-brother relationship.

She is not a beauty that will amaze you at first sight, but she has a good temperament with light makeup.

"Yawen, you can't do it." Lu Yuan poked his head behind the chair, looked at the battle record, and said in a sarcastic tone.

In fact, Zhu Yawen played well. He had the highest number of kills among the five people, but the overall strength of the team was poor. With three burdens, they had been pushed to the high ground.

"Well, I was not in good shape today and did not perform well," Zhu Yawen admitted.

Huh. Lu Yuan was puzzled. Why was this guy so easy to talk to? In the past, he would always retort.

For example, it is better than some people hiding in the bush all day long. If you have the ability, you can go to the lane to fight alone.

has a problem!
Noticing Lu Yuan approaching, even though they had known each other for a long time, Shen Jiani still greeted him a little awkwardly.

Through Zhu Yawen's narration, she understood Lu Yuan more deeply than other people in the entertainment industry.

She also knew that if it weren't for her relationship with Zhu Yawen, it would be difficult for her, a third-tier actress, to strike up a conversation with him. The film and television industry seemed harmonious under the camera, but in fact, it was clearly divided into different levels.

What's more, the person in front of him has quietly been promoted to capital.

Zhu Yawen could laugh and joke with the other person because that was a friendship they established during college; it didn’t mean he could do the same.

Luo Jin put down his phone and asked, "When is this game going to be released?"

"Around next summer vacation, together with My Love from the Star, there are still many bugs at this stage and it still needs to be tested. Don't think that it is smooth to play on WiFi, but it will be much worse when switching to mobile network."

WiFi had become popular in Beijing in 2010, and the speed was quite fast, with a speed of 3.7 Mbps in Beijing and 4.04 Mbps in Shanghai.

Luo Jin nodded.

Zhu Yawen took over the conversation and asked, "I just heard from Shishi that you two are planning to go to Korea tomorrow?"

"Move over there."

Liu Shishi was absorbed in playing the game. Lu Yuan lifted her ponytail and pushed her aside.

"Scarlet Heart" was shortlisted for the Seoul International Drama Festival in South Korea. I had no intention of going, but the cinema chains are currently fighting with China Film Group and Huayi Film Group, and New World is caught in the middle. I decided to go there to avoid the limelight and promote the movie at the same time."

"Who do you think will win this time?"

"How would I know? I'm not a god. On the surface, China Film Group has a better chance of winning, but last year's example is still fresh in my mind."

"This time, Star Media's "The Banquet" and Huayi's "1942" were released at the same time. They are also the first two Lunar New Year films. I wonder if these two companies can withstand the first wave of attacks."

When Zhu Yawen talked about Huayi, he curled his lips.

Lu Yuan reached out to take the green grapes.

When Zhu Yawen heard this, he immediately pushed the basket towards him like a lackey.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong with this guy. Thinking of his expression just now, he asked tentatively, "Is your contract with Huayi about to expire?"

Zhu Yawen came here today just for this matter, with a smile on his face, shamelessly pinching his shoulders, and said, "I will terminate the contract at the beginning of next year, sir, please support me."

Shen Jiani couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Is this still her masculine boyfriend? What a tough guy! How embarrassing.

South Korea, Gimpo International Airport.

Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi and their group walked out pushing their suitcases, followed by their respective assistants, Lu Jing, and several PPS employees.

Lu Jing currently serves as the deputy CEO of PPS and also serves as the director of the content department. During this trip to South Korea, he wants to select some variety show copyrights to introduce.

Most of the current domestic variety shows have copyrights imported from abroad.

Such as Hunan Satellite TV's "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "I Am a Singer", Zhejiang Satellite TV's "The Voice of China", and Dragon TV's "Dancing With the Stars".

Either Japan and South Korea, or Europe and the United States.

The earliest program purchased was actually CCTV’s "Zhengda Variety Show" in 1990.

The production format of this variety show was introduced from Wanwan's "Around the Earth" and was produced in cooperation with CCTV and Thailand's Charoen Pokphand Group, replicating the model of the original program in design and production methods.

The same is true for the later "Animal World".

To be more precise, "buying" in that era meant introducing programs without any changes in form.

At that time, domestic program resources were scarce and the Internet was not well developed.

TV producers and the big names who made their fortunes on the Internet back then all chose to exploit information asymmetry for primitive harvesting.

Today’s “buying” goes a step further. It is not as simple as buying content, but buying program creativity.

Programs like "China's Got Talent" and "The Voice of China" have been adapted into Chinese styles based on the settings, editing, and styles of these programs to suit the viewing habits of Chinese audiences.

If PPS wants to stand firm, it has to rely on two legs, long-form TV series and variety shows.

Although there are variety shows supplemented by Hunan Satellite TV and Dragon TV, they are not their own content after all and are subject to the control of others.

PPS must have its own fist program and production team.

Therefore, Xu Weifeng (current president of PPS) and Lu Jing discussed and decided to learn the methods of major domestic satellite TV stations and introduce them from abroad.

The first stop is South Korea.

In fact, Lu Yuan hopes that PPS will create its own original content and conduct independent research and development to capture the audience's pain points.

But this matter is easy to say, but the actual implementation is confusing. The major satellite TV stations don’t understand it, so what basis does PPS have?

Therefore, Lu Yuan's proposal was opposed by Xu Weifeng, and the original variety show was put on hold for the time being, and they just had to follow suit.

Lay the foundation in the early stage and then create your own program later.

People were coming and going at the airport. Liu Shishi held her boyfriend's hand and said, "Next year, Zhu Yawen will sign with the company. Together with Guo Jingfei, Zhu Yilong, and Xinyou, there will be four people in total. Isn't that too few? Should we sign some more?"

Yesterday at the villa, Lu Yuan and Zhu Yawen reached an agreement that after that guy leaves Huayi, he will sign a contract with Yuanfang Media.

"Who do you want to sign?" Lu Yuan knew this girl inside and out.

"Xiao Linzi."

"Lin Gengxin? I remember he said last time that he signed a 10-year contract with Tangren."

"Yeah." Seeing his confusion, Liu Shishi explained, "Last year, because Lao K gave the male lead of "Xuan-Yuan Sword" to Jin Fu, Xiao Linzi has been feeling uncomfortable.

At the beginning of the year, he auditioned for the role of Xu Kaiyang in "So Young" directed by Zhao Wei, but the company was filming "The Desert Ballad" at the time, and due to schedule conflicts, Lao K took the initiative to help him turn it down.

As a result, Da Mo Yao was censored and became half-dead. Xiao Linzi now wants to terminate the contract with the company. "

"So he found you?"

"He is my younger brother in the company." Liu Shishi puffed out her chest, acting like a big sister.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes: "How does Cai Yinong plan to solve this problem?"

"Old K is very angry and will probably take him to court."

Lu Yuan pinched his chin and said with a sigh, "I really don't understand Cai Yinong. Why didn't they cast Lin Gengxin, who was already a little famous for his role in Startling by Each Step, for Xuan-Yuan Sword? Why did they insist on promoting a newcomer? Well, they can promote him, but his professional ability is not that good. Tangren doesn't have many resources, so why is the internal competition so fierce?"

"Are you going to sign it or not?" Liu Shishi shook his arm.

"Don't sign."

"why."

"His business capabilities need to be improved. There is already Zhu Yilong in the company who is of the same age. However, I can help mediate his affairs."

Well, the dog is willing to help, but he just doesn't like Xiao Linzi.
Liu Shishi said discouragedly: "I still want him to star in "Soul Ferry". He would probably agree even if it's a web drama, including the no-pay model you mentioned. He praises your vision for choosing dramas."

Lu Yuan paused: "If it's just a role, it won't be a big problem. When we get back from Korea, we'll call him and Pan Yuemin."

"Okay!" Liu Shishi smiled like a flower.

The pillow talk really works, the ancients were right.
