I want to be a chaebol

Chapter 95 New Asia Pictures’ new filmmaking plan
Song Yi was a little speechless. Why did Jin Xiyuan take the initiative to attack every time? However, Jin Xiyuan had a special status and he could not take the initiative to do anything to Jin Xiyuan.

The office door suddenly opened, and it turned out that Jiang Xiuna returned to the office to report to Song Yi.

Jiang Xiuna was more alert. She didn't even see who was sitting on Song Yi, so she left the office as quickly as possible to make room for Song Yi and Song Yi.

Song Yi patted Jin Xiyuan's butt and said, "Okay, come on down. Fortunately, we are in the office today, otherwise I would definitely eat you."

The layout of Song Yi's president's office is an inner and outer closet, the outer room is the secretary's room, and the inner room is Song Yi's personal office. In addition to the large desk, there is also a set of U-shaped sofas in the office to facilitate subordinates to report work to Song Yi .

The inside is large and the outside is small, and the area of ​​the outside is almost one-third of the area of ​​the inside.A waiting area is set up in the secretary's room, and some bonsai and flowers are placed in the room.

If employees of New Asia Media want to report to Song Yi, they have to go through the secretary's office and let Jiang Xiuna and Song Yi confirm their schedule.However, Song Yi's office has a separate bathroom, and there is another door next to the bathroom. You can go directly back to the corridor of the office area without passing through the secretary's office.

Jin Xiyuan stood up and went to the bathroom to tidy up her clothes. Her face turned red. She was embarrassed to meet Jiang Xiuna and left the office through another exit.

Song Yi coughed when he saw Jin Xiyuan leaving the office, "Xiu Na, do you have anything to report to me?"

Jiang Xiuna entered the office and saw Song Yi looking as normal, almost thinking that what she just saw was just an illusion.
On September 9, "Legend of Hot Blood" was officially launched for public beta testing. During the National Day, the number of simultaneous online players of "Legend of Hot Blood" exceeded 28. It can be said that this online game has achieved initial success in the mainland market.

Song Yi used the ID of "Xin Yasong" on the 17173 game forum to share the game strategy of "Legend of Blood", comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the three professions of warrior, magician and Taoist priest. The 17173 website also simultaneously updates the content released by the official website of "Legend of Hot Blood".

Jin Taixi sat next to Song Yi and felt very strange watching Song Yi replying to other players' posts in the forum one by one.Song Yi's personal net worth has exceeded 5 million US dollars, and he actually answers players' questions personally like a game customer service.

"Will you try all three professions yourself?" Jin Taixi asked Song Yi.

"Of course, without practice, there is no right to speak. No matter how busy I am, I will spare at least an hour every day to experience "Legend of Blood"."

"I am the chief experience officer of "Legend of Hot Blood". If there is a small bug in the game, I can contact Park Guanhao as soon as possible and let the employees of the technical department handle it in time." Song Yi said.

Kim Tae Hee was very busy during this period. She had to attend classes at Seoul National University during the day and went to the Seoul National Art Troupe to rehearse the drama "Empress Myeongseong" in the evening. However, after she moved to Seongbuk-dong, she gradually spent more time with Song Yi.

"In my opinion, in addition to being the chief experience center, you also serve as the chief customer service officer. Will New Asia Network pay you two salaries?" Kim Tae Hee said playfully.

"Of course not, but according to my estimate, "Legend of Hot Blood" will be profitable by the end of October, which is about a month earlier than the company expected." Song Yi said.

New Asia Network won the exclusive distribution rights of "Legend 2" in the mainland at a price of US$300 million over two years. New Asia Network was able to start making profits within one month of the game's public beta, which shows how profitable this online game is.

Song Yi remembers that shortly after the open beta of "Legend of Blood", it brought 100 million yuan in revenue to Shanda Network every day. At its peak, this online game brought 600 million yuan in revenue to Shanda every day.

In contrast, New Asia Network has a higher starting point. There is no reason why it cannot break Shanda Games' record.

"Legend of Hot Blood" operates the game on a free-to-play basis, with point card charges. Players need 0.29 yuan to play "Legend of Hot Blood" for an hour, which is nothing to today's online game players.After all, the Internet fee in Internet cafes is easily three or four yuan per hour, which is definitely a high consumption.

"Actoz has been listed, and its current market value has exceeded US$1 million. New Asia holds 6% of Actoz shares. This share alone has a floating profit of US$120 million. This is equivalent to buying it with only US$30. The agency rights for "Legend of Hot Blood" are quite cost-effective." Kim Tae Hee is still very concerned about her boyfriend's career.

Song Yi asked Kim Tae Hee to sit on his lap. He put his arms around Kim Tae Hee and said with a smile, "That's not how the accounts are calculated. Actoz's shares cannot be sold now. Whether Actoz's shares will be profitable in half a year remains to be seen. Woolen cloth."

Actoz was listed on South Korea's GEM in August, also known as KOSDAQ. Young people in South Korea are very fond of stock trading. KOSDAQ's trading volume and turnover rate are second only to the NASDAQ in the United States. The total market value of its listed companies ranks first in the world. fourth.

Unlike Hong Kong Island and Singapore, which mainly focus on the financial and real estate industries, the listed companies in the Korean stock market are mainly manufacturing. Representative companies are Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, Posco, etc. Manufacturing companies are more popular with Korean investment. Favored by investors, it is easier to obtain high valuations.

Kim Tae Hee actually likes to discuss some business issues with her boyfriend. "If "Legend of Blood" can achieve profitability in just one month, Cui Xiong will probably regret selling the shares of Wemade and "Legend 720" for US$2 million. 》Copyright.”

Song Yi chuckled. When Century Huatong prepared to acquire Shanda Games in 2018, it valued Shanda Games at 298 billion yuan.

Among them, the legendary IP mobile games "Legendary World", "Legendary" and "Legendary 3" include the licensing fees of the legendary IP, which brought a huge revenue of 17 billion yuan to Shanda Games in 11.86, contributing 28% of the revenue to Shanda Games. Collect, the vitality of Legend, a big IP, can be seen.

Song Yi was able to acquire 720% of the equity of Wemade and the copyright of "Legend 40" for only US$2 million, which was a big mistake. The more popular "Legend of Blood" becomes in the mainland market, the more Cui Xiong will regret it. Wemade could still eat some meat scraps, but Actoz couldn't even drink soup.

Kim Tae Hee ignored her boyfriend's mischievous hands and put her hands around his neck. "Why do I feel like my sister is deliberately avoiding you these days? Is there any misunderstanding between you?"

Song Yi paused, not expecting that Kim Tae Hee's senses were so sensitive.After Jin Xiyuan took the initiative to kiss Song Yi that day, she was interrupted by Jiang Xiuna, and the courage she had just summoned disappeared. No matter at work or at home, she was avoiding Song Yi.

Song Yi understood Jin Xiyuan's thoughts, and of course he would not force her.He just felt that Jin Xiyuan was really unlucky. Last time, Jin Xiyuan took the initiative to kiss Song Yi in the car, but was caught by Kim Tae Hee's best friend Li Xianzhen.

This time Jin Xiyuan kissed Song Yi in the office, but Song Yi's secretary Jiang Xiuna broke the news again.Song Yi thought thoughtfully, shouldn't Jin Xiyuan take the initiative? The female top is not suitable for her. In fact, Song Yi can try it next time. Maybe there won't be so many viewers.
Song Yi thought quickly and quickly found a reason for Jin Xiyuan, ""My Naughty Girlfriend" was released, with 801 million viewers, which did not break the box office championship of "Friends". Xiyuan has been in charge of this film She may have felt that the film's promotion work was not done well, so she was a little afraid of me."

Kim Tae Hee was doubtful, but she was smart and did not question her boyfriend, "It's really a pity. I heard that CJ Cinemas has reduced its film schedule to ensure that "Friends" is the annual box office champion. OPPA, why don't you communicate with Chairman Chen Jae Hyun?" How about a moment?"

Cineline, the production company of "Friends", has always had a good relationship with CJ Entertainment. It is normal for CJ Cinemas to reduce the film schedule of "My Naughty Girl" to ensure that "Friends" is the annual box office champion.

The box office of "My Naughty Girlfriend" is fixed at 801 million, which is the tacit understanding between Song Yi and Chen Zaixian. CJ Cinemas acquiesced that the box office of "My Naughty Girlfriend" exceeded 800 million, and Song Yi agreed that "My Naughty Girlfriend" would not break the annual box office record of "Friends".

"I will communicate with Chen Jae-hyun. CJ Cinemas will definitely increase the schedule of "My Naughty Girlfriend" and wait for time to win the annual box office championship, but this does not mean much."

"After all, I just acquired New Asia Pictures, and the first movie I produced won the annual box office championship. There is no need to be so ostentatious. You have to know how to attract attention. I don't want to make enemies everywhere just after entering the film industry." Song Yi explained.

New Asia Pictures plans to produce two movies next year, "Memories of Murder" and "If God Provides." "Memories of Murder" is adapted from the Hwaseong serial murder case, directed by Bong Joon-ho and starring Song Kang-ho.Song Yi remembered that the murderer was named Li Chunzai, and he was not arrested until 2020. He was imprisoned, and the identity of the murderer was finally determined through DNA comparison.

Bong Joon-ho also graduated from Yonsei University and was Song Yi's senior.When New Asia Pictures expressed its intention to bring the Huacheng serial murder case to the screen to help the police solve the case and find the real murderer, Bong Joon-ho showed great interest. During this time, Bong Joon-ho and New Asia Pictures The writing team has been polishing the script.

The two movies "Memories of Murder" and "If Love Is Divine" have different positionings. The former pays more attention to the box office, while the latter pays more attention to word of mouth.

Song Yi thought that if "Memories of Murder" hadn't been released yet and the Korean police had found the real murderer Li Chunzai in prison, it would have definitely achieved a sensational advertising effect and attracted audiences to watch the movie in the theater.

However, Song Yi has not given up on the box office success of "If Love Has God's Will", and he plans to change his promotion plan.

New Asia Pictures will announce to the public that "If Love Has God's Will" will be directed by Kwak Jae-yong. This film is also the second part of Kwak Jae-yong's love trilogy.

New Asia Pictures will first announce the male lead actors Cho Seung Woo and Jo In Sung, while keeping the female lead secret for the time being. However, Jun Ji Hyun will be excluded first.

Song Yi and Guo Zaiyong said in an interview that New Asia Pictures will conduct a nationwide audition for the heroine, and finally find an actress with a temperament that matches the original work.

Song Yi actually learned this from Zhang Yimou, who auditioned for the heroine during the filming of "One Second" and finally selected Liu Haocun.

Song Yi only needs to maintain the popularity of the movie "If Love Is Divine Will" and finally announce that Son Ye-jin is the female lead.New Asia Pictures gave up on New Asia's artists Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, Kim Tae Hee and Sung Yuri, and finally chose Son Ye Jin, which shows the sincerity of New Asia Pictures.

Jun Ji-hyun has become popular in Korea with "My Naughty Girlfriend", and Song Yi has announced that she will produce a second Jun Ji-hyun, still directed by Guo Zaiyong. Coupled with the popularity of the heroine audition, Song Yi believes that "If Love Has God's Will" 》It can be done before setting off the fire.

Kim Tae Hee knows about New Asia Pictures' filming plans for next year and agrees with Song Yi's approach of keeping a low profile this year.

"OPPA, New Asia Pictures will shoot two movies at the same time next year, as well as two TV series "Dae Jang Geum" and "Winter Sonata". Will you be busy by then?"

In addition to movies, New Asia Pictures is also preparing to produce two TV series. The heroine of "Dae Jang Geum" is Kim Tae Hee, and the male and female protagonists of "Winter Sonata" are set to be Bae Yong Joon and Song Hye Kyo.Song Hye Kyo and Bae Yong Joon collaborated on "Love Hotel" this year.

If Korean culture can sweep across Asia, it cannot avoid the two classic Korean dramas "Dae Jang Geum" and "Winter Sonata".

In 2000, "Blue Life and Death" opened the topic of Korean dramas, and "Winter Sonata" promoted Korean dramas to the Asian market.

The popularity of "Winter Sonata" has shaped Bae Yong Joon into Asia's master milk killer.The junior nurses spent a lot of money to buy "Yongyan" peripheral products without mercy.

According to statistics, Bae Yongjun's TV or peripheral benefits accounted for 0.1% of South Korea's GDP that year, attracted 20 foreign tourists, and created 3000 billion won in economic benefits for South Korea.

If "Winter Sonata" captured the Asian market, then "Dae Jang Geum" pushed Korean dramas to another peak and was later broadcast in more than 60 countries and regions around the world. The TV series "Dae Jang Geum" has generated economic benefits of 3 trillion won worldwide.

Take Hong Kong Island as an example. When "Dae Jang Geum" was released in Hong Kong in 2005, it created a viewership of 200 million, which is equivalent to one-third of Hong Kong people having watched this series. Hong Kong Island even included the so-called "Indomitable" "Janggeum Spirit" is incorporated into primary school textbooks.

Whether it's kimchi, ginseng chicken soup or Korean barbecue, "Dae Jang Geum" has led to a wave of Korean food craze. The filming location of "Dae Jang Geum" also attracted movie fans from all over the world.

"Winter Sonata" made Bae Yong-joon famous, and Bae Yong-joon is especially favored by wealthy Japanese women.Bae Yongjun, who made money in Japan, later returned to China and founded Keyeast, transforming himself into the owner of a brokerage company. Keyeast has a market value of hundreds of billions of won, making him a big shot in Korean entertainment.

The heroine Lee Young-ae of "Dae Jang Geum" became a representative figure in the Korean cultural circle. Later, when Song Woo-seok visited China, Lee Young-ae was also a member of the delegation visiting China. This also reflects the huge influence of "Dae Jang Geum".

Let's put it this way, Kim Tae Hee only needs to have the masterpiece "Dae Jang Geum" and reap the dividends of this drama. Then in the following days, even if she no longer makes movies or TV series, she can still gain both fame and fortune.

Because he wanted to make Kim Tae Hee famous through "Dae Jang Geum", Song Yi was even more focused on this drama. Song Yi produced this drama according to the specifications of making a movie.New Asia Pictures has hired historical experts from Seoul National University, Yonsei University and Korea University as consultants for "Dae Jang Geum" to try to restore a communist dynasty and fit the costumes of that era as much as possible.

"New Asia Media borrowed US$2 million from the bank, and they have to let them know where the money was spent. The plan of two movies + two TV series will not change."

"If we don't have enough manpower, we'll have to recruit people. Anyway, there are still a lot of vacant seats in the New Asia Pictures office. Before Shen Zhe went to Los Angeles, he recommended Kim Woo-taek from MegaBox Cinema to me."

"The premiere of "My Naughty Girlfriend" was scheduled to be held at the MegaBox Cinema in COEX Shopping Center in Samseongdong. Hee-won had already contacted Kim Woo-taek. He said at that time that he would wait until the final box office results of "My Naughty Girlfriend" were released. , and then decided whether to join New Asia Pictures. I will take time to have a chat with him in the next two days." Song Yi said.

As Xinya grows, Song Yi becomes more and more hungry for high-end talents.If Li Yizhi helps him manage New Asia Capital and Jin Youze helps him manage New Asia Pictures, Song Yi can focus on the Internet.

New Asia Network Co., Ltd. has developed version 1.0 of the social networking site inshchool. This version contains several simple functions.

inshcool is the Korean version of the school network, and its prerequisite users are Korean college students.Each registered user must submit his or her name and school information, and also upload a photo of himself as a profile picture.

The initial function of inshool is relatively simple. It has a homepage and can post updates on the homepage. The text of each update should not exceed 140 characters.There is a thumbs up or thumbs down button below the dynamic box.

Users of inshcool can add each other as friends, and can also search for users by name and school. After becoming friends, they can see the content of each other's homepage and every updated update. Users who are not friends can only see the latest update of the other user. .

Inshcool user homepage can upload photo albums, or select photos from the album as user avatars.You can also comment below the album. Currently, only friends can comment.

Song Yi plans to build inschool into a combination of campus network and Weibo. The first batch of invited users of inschool are tentatively scheduled to be students from Yonsei University, Seoul National University and Ewha Womans University.

Kim Tae-hee is a student of Seoul National University, Song Yi graduated from Yonsei University, and Jung Eun-seon graduated from Ewha Womans University. The three of them have considerable influence in these three universities.New Asia Network Co., Ltd. will carry out some promotional activities at the gates of these three universities. For example, if the registration is successful, commemorative gifts such as thermos cups or umbrellas will be given, and the gifts will be printed with the inshcool logo.
Inshcool first targets college students, followed by college students who have graduated, such as Song Yi, Jin Xiyuan and Jiang Xiuna, and finally will target high school students.

The user group of inschool is highly overlapping with the fans of Korean entertainment idol groups. Once the website becomes influential, inshcool will establish an official club for celebrity idols.For example, Girls' Generation official website, TVXQ official website, Lee Hyori official website, BTS official website and Black Pink official website, etc.

If this step is achieved, Song Yi will become the well-deserved king of Korean culture, which cannot be shaken by companies such as SM, YG, BigHit, and Cube.
