Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

The next day, Jed specially prepared a lunch in Beverly Hills to entertain the group of Korean guests.Although the lunch was not a formal banquet, Jade still asked the head chef of the Four Seasons Hotel to arrange a table of oriental-style food and drink.Between pushing and changing cups, Jed also learned the identities of these people.The person in charge is Kim Sung-mo, a descendant of a noble family in Korea. He is currently the secretary-general of a department of the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and will develop towards the position of minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in the future.

As soon as Secretary Jin came, he specially sent Mi Fu's words, saying that he was apologizing for yesterday's unhappiness.Jed's preference for Chinese culture made him unable to refuse this kind offer, so Jed himself had to give up some benefits at the negotiating table.After lunch, Jed served red wine and cigars to everyone, and then put forward his own new conditions.

"I understand your government's policy, but I still hope that sbs will give us the qualification of a comprehensive programming channel and three cable channels in addition to the current terrestrial broadcasting channel. The future main channel of sbs will be news, drama and Variety shows are the mainstay; while the integrated channel will target relatively high-end viewers, mainly history, culture and documentaries. The three cable channels are the financial news channel, the English news channel and the music film and television channel. As a reward for the broadcasting business, we will donate a set of high-definition program production and broadcasting equipment to kbs, mbc and sbs. In addition, there are questions about the broadcast of the six award ceremonies, do you have any answers?"

When Jade said that he would give away a set of high-definition production and broadcasting equipment for each of the three major terrestrial TV stations, the Korean officials in this line were pleasantly surprised.The current high-definition TV equipment is very expensive. Although Samsung itself has some patents, the cost of using it is very scary.Therefore, currently only the United States and Japan are trial broadcasting high-definition TV programs. If this gift really takes place, then South Korea will become the third country in the world to start broadcasting high-definition TV programs.As for which channel is the first to have a high-definition channel, that is an internal competition, and it does not belong to the issue to be discussed here.

Moreover, Jade's positioning of the future SBS channels basically did not touch the bottom line of the Koreans. How much ratings can the comprehensive channel of the History and Culture Channel have?Naturally, it is incomparable with the four major comprehensive channels that will be launched in the future, and if they want to make cultural and educational programs, then they can also explain to the Ministry of Education.Now the Ministry of Education always says that there are not enough resources for public education programs. As a result, not only did they start an ebs educational TV broadcasting communal company, but they also forced kbs to turn their second program into a science education channel, which made kbs miserable .Now that sbs has announced that it will turn their second comprehensive channel into an educational channel, then kbs2 will be liberated.No matter if this is sbs trying to slap their face to please the government or something else, this group of people will agree.Among the cable channels, the music and video channels are naturally no problem; although the financial news channel and the English news channel may involve some sensitive content, but one focuses on financial news and the other is a non-Korean channel, the probability of being passed in the end is also very high.Only the rights to broadcast the six award ceremonies, Secretary Jin said rather embarrassingly: "Mr. Sherman, the Big Bell Award and the Golden Disc Award are our country's national awards, so we naturally have to hand them over to kbs, the national channel. I hope that Mr. Sherman can understand the difference in the national conditions of your country and our country. The organizer of the Blue Dragon Awards has a very close relationship with mbs, and they will not listen to our request. Therefore, we can only guarantee that the Baeksang Art Awards will be handed over to It will be hosted by SBS. As for the music awards, there is no problem with handing over both the Seoul Music Festival and the Asian Music Festival to SBS. At present, we can only do this, and I hope Mr. Sherman will be more considerate.”

Jed didn't expect to win all the awards. The Big Bell Award is a national award, and the Blue Dragon Award is a public award, similar to China's Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award.On the contrary, the Baeksang Arts Awards has a lot to do. The Baeksang Arts Awards is not a special movie award, but an award that involves both TV and movies like the Golden Globe Awards.The biggest difference between the Golden Globes and the Oscars in Hollywood is that the Oscars are presented in an auditorium, while the Golden Globes are presented at a reception.There are awards and performances on the stage, and everyone drinks and eats off the stage.Sometimes the winners rush to the stage to accept the awards with food in their mouths, but it is such a casual and friendly ceremony scene that makes the Golden Globes' ratings and popularity good.However, it is not feasible for Hollywood to move to Korea. Orientals still attach great importance to awards and awards, so naturally they have to be grand and festive.Therefore, Jade intends to learn from the methods of the later Golden Eagle TV Art Festival, including awards ceremony and red carpet show, as well as film and television fairs and summit forums, which will be very helpful to improve the reputation of this awards ceremony.In terms of music awards, the Seoul Music Festival can naturally be borne by SBS, and the Asian Music Festival can be held together with MTV Asia Channel.After thinking for so long, Jed pretended to be a bit embarrassed, and finally said: "I can also understand everyone's difficulties, so I hope that after I make concessions, this is our final contract text. ——Next, I arrange Everyone, go and visit our Dongfeng TV City and Dongfeng Film and Television Center."

Secretary Jin is of course very happy to be able to visit these two departments. Dongfeng TV City is where the major studios of Dongfeng TV Production Company are located. It is currently considered half a theme park, and it will be open for people to visit at certain times; while Dongfeng Film and Television Center is for news, etc. The recording place of the programs in the studio is also the post-production center and the broadcast center of the we TV network in the west.Being able to visit these two places will undoubtedly be of great help to open the eyes of Koreans.With the popularity of Korean Wave programs in Asia, many Korean film and television professionals already think that they are invincible.But the Chinese and Japanese can also come up with new ideas from time to time, and many times the Korean wave is too overwhelming.As for the American program that is invincible to Shangzhen, Secretary Jin thinks there is still a gap between the two.

However, after Secretary Kim arrived at the scene, I realized that the level of programs produced by the United States and South Korea was at least a generation behind. When the Koreans were still struggling to shoot outdoor scenes in the wind and rain, the Americans were already able to fully create real weather in the studio. .Secretary Jin also specially asked the American staff to demonstrate it. As a result, the situation changed instantly on the street with the small building.Sometimes it rains, sometimes snows, sometimes thunder and lightning, sometimes sunny... everything is just a production staff pressing a few buttons on the system.These few keys can control the lighting, sound and other equipment to prepare for all kinds of weather for shooting, and the degree of realism makes these middle-aged men feel no difference when they are on the scene.One of the directors of the production bureau of kbs was dazed, and muttered to himself, "How is this possible?" Then he said to the accompanying staff, "How much is this equipment?"

The staff gave the director of the production bureau a blank look, "The whole set of equipment is worth a million dollars, and it's the only one of its kind."

When Secretary Jin heard the quotation, he shook his head with a wry smile and left. The million-dollar equipment was purchased back, and KBS didn't know how many years it would take to pay it off.The blue screen technology that followed shocked this group of officials engaged in the film and television industry even more.As long as a few details are set up for the prop group, the rest can be realized by computer.The computer can make the two actors in front of you suddenly climb Mount Everest, or suddenly save lives and heal the wounded at the scene of the fierce Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and even simulate the scenery of the space capsule.No one asked the price this time, I'm afraid the price has exceeded everyone's imagination.And more importantly, will people sell it?

While Secretary Kim was still visiting the United States, the Korean Broadcasting and Communications Commission sent an order to the headquarters of SBS.Then this official document shocked the entire SBS executives, and immediately held a temporary meeting.As soon as the higher-ups made such a move, the lower-level people began to get a little nervous.Can the Broadcasting and Communications Commission directly issue orders, this SBS has offended someone who shouldn't be offended?Among the five major terrestrial broadcasting channels in Korea, EBS is an educational channel, without any political stance; Obs mainly targets the Incheon area, and basically does not participate in the political struggle in the capital; KBS naturally supports whoever comes to power; MBC and SBS are two rivals, MBC is culturally liberal but also economically conservative, but SBS is just the opposite, culturally conservative but economically liberal.And all of this seems to be somewhat different from the current South Korean president's philosophy. Although SBS did not openly criticize the president on news programs and talk shows, it has some criticisms of national policies. Could it be that the country has taken action?Although sbs is a commercial TV station, the country is qualified to allow you to be censored.This review meant the suspension of the broadcast, so some villains who thought they had guessed something began to spread rumors everywhere, and suddenly the company became a little panicked.

However, contrary to the mood of the employees, the senior executives were all smiling.The Communications and Broadcasting Committee has smashed countless gifts like smashing a cake. SBS will have two terrestrial broadcasting channels, but one of them will be used for the future broadcasting of high-definition channels; Channel qualifications.With such channel resources, it means that sbs will become the second channel after kbs in China.Moreover, sbs will also get the qualification to host Baeksang Arts Awards, Seoul Music Festival and Asian Music Festival in the future, which makes the executives not know what expression to show.

"Jed, are you really going to help the Koreans?" John asked after Jed sent the Koreans away.

"I didn't help them how to improve the status of the Busan Film Art Festival, I just said that we can cooperate further." Jed will not compromise on his own fundamental interests, let alone compromise some things and just ask Koreans to help them TV station, what kind of return is this?As for paying a little attention to the Busan Film Festival, it’s okay. Korean films are improving, and it’s understandable for me to go to South Korea to seek gold.Now the number of Koreans living in the United States is also increasing. There are several mature Korean communities in Los Angeles. I can consider purchasing Korean movies and introducing them to these communities for screening. "Oh, by the way, don't forget to give those South Korean officials tickets to the premiere of "The Battle of Los Angeles."

"The Battle of Los Angeles" is the opening drama of Sherman Films and Television Entertainment, which was officially released on March 3.This week's situation is not bad. It is obviously difficult for last week's champion "Langer" to win the championship again, and last week's runner-up "Fate Planning Bureau" is even more impossible.And this week's "Blood Hat" and "Mars Needs Mom" ​​will hardly shake "Battle of Los Angeles", so Jed is very confident that he will surprise the Koreans.
