Rebirth of the Director in Korea

If it is said that Korean dramas do not appeal to foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes, then in Asia, Korean dramas still have a certain market, especially as they belong to the Chinese character culture circle and Confucian culture. As far as China and Japan are concerned, Korean dramas have received widespread dissemination and attention.

In the final analysis, South Korea has been deeply influenced by Chinese Confucian culture since ancient times, so that modern times have launched a movement to remove Chinese characters, but after all, whether it is values ​​or social cultural psychology The commonality also makes it easier for the two countries to interpret Korean dramas.

Japan is particularly fond of beautiful love stories. In 2002, “Winter Sonata” produced and broadcast by KBS not only overwhelmed the domestic ratings of “Women World” and “Shang Dao”, which were being broadcast at the time. It even won the ratings champion of the same period with a ratings of 27.8%.

The production cost of “Winter Sonata” is as high as 4 billion Korean Won, but the high production cost has actually won multiple returns before “Winter Sonata” has been broadcast. Advertising revenue of 5 billion Korean Won, OST album revenue of 2 billion Korean Won, sold to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Southeast Asia and other places with overseas copyrights of 600,000 US dollars, plus the income from website side business and tourism products on location, the total revenue at that time It has exceeded 8 billion Korean Won.

In April 2003, “Winter Sonata” was officially aired on the Japan NHKTV Station satellite channel. As a result, the Korean drama achieved unprecedented success in Japan’s breakthrough. The Japanese people began to be overwhelmed by the charm of this drama, creating countless topics and records in Japan, and the enthusiastic response finally pushed the influence of “Winter Sonata” to unprecedented heights.

“Winter Sonata” was aired on satellite channels for the first time from April to September 2003. NHK began to receive a flood of phone calls and e-mails from viewers to express their fanatical love for this Korean drama; When the rebroadcast from December 15th to 26th still failed to meet the enthusiastic needs of the audience, NHK decided to broadcast the show on terrestrial channels from April 2004.

Although this is the third rebroadcast, and it was broadcast during non-prime time at 11 pm on Saturday night, “Winter Sonata” has not only doubled the ratings of previous overseas dramas in Japan , The popular local drama “Xin Sengzu”, which was broadcasted beyond prime time, set a record of 22.5% on the Grand Finale on August 21, 2004, which was maintained during the peak period of the Olympic program. Miraculously amazing ratings.

The actor Bae Yong-joon of “Winter Sonata” has also become synonymous with elegance and intellectuality in the eyes of many Japanese housewives. During the promotion period in Japan, thousands of fans and housewives came to the airport to welcome Bae Yong. The arrival of -joon, and Bae Yong-joon has also become a new generation of “teacher killer” and has become the dream lover in the hearts of many Japanese housewives.

The influence of Korean Wave in Asia is becoming more and more profound. Overseas copyrights of Korean dramas have become an important source of income for TV Station. According to statistics, only in 2001 South Korea sold 9525 episodes of Korean dramas to all parts of the world, with revenue reaching 7.9 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 64.3% over 2000; in 2002, it exported 12,363 episodes with revenue of 16.39 million U.S. dollars, compared with In 2001, it increased by 76.8%; as of 2003, the total income of South Korea’s TV series export sales reached an astonishing US$28.34 million, with a unit price of more than US$2,200 per episode.

This is the reason why Jung Hyuk-jae firmly holds the overseas copyright of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” in his hands. Hongkong’s TVB Jade is just the beginning, and it will follow. With more TV Stations added to this copyright purchase game, he naturally does not need to worry about sitting alone in the Diaoyutai.

On January 8th, Hongkong TVB Jade came, accompanied by a Chinese student in South Korea who acted as the interpreter for this negotiation. The negotiation lasted for more than two hours, Jung Hyuk-jae and Hongkong TVB Jade has been arguing about the single-episode price and copyright period. TVB Jade’s Chief-In-Charge this time insisted on one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars and a five-year copyright period, which Jung Hyuk-jae naturally could not accept.

Since the start of Shuangyi, I have been arguing about these two issues. Fortunately, this translation is more reliable. I am a college student who has studied in South Korea for many years. Otherwise, I will definitely go crazy.

Finally, the two parties have finalized the four-year copyright deadline, and the price of the single episode remains unchanged at HK$100,000. After the contract is signed, it also means that 256 million Korean Won has fallen into Jung Hyuk-jae. Among the pockets.

The Hongkong contract has just been finalized, and Vietnam, Singapore and other places have also made offers to introduce this TV series that caused a huge sensation in South Korea last year.

From January 8th to January 15th, several countries’ contracts concerning “I’m Sorry, I Love You” were finalized for several days, and the overseas copyright revenue has exceeded 13 The mark of 100 million Korean Won.

On the afternoon of January 15th, a phone call from China’s Liaoning Educational TV Station also asked about the copyright of “I’m Sorry, I Love You”. After a few brief discussions on the phone, , Both parties set a day to discuss the signing of the contract.

On the morning of the 16th, another big head of overseas copyright finally called for inquiries about copyright. Japan’s NHKTV Station is preparing to introduce the tragedy of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” If it can be negotiated, the overseas copyright proceeds sold to Asian countries alone can break through 2 billion.

After dinner this evening, Jung Hyuk-jae cleaned up the kitchen and went to the living room. The younger sister sat alone in front of the TV and watched the weekend variety show. MCYoo Jae-seok on the TV spoke and guided the guests. , From time to time a laughing spot popped out to make Jung Min-joo giggle continuously.

Seeing that the younger sister didn’t seem to notice that she came, Jung Hyuk-jae quietly took the remote control, and mumbled deliberately: “Why are there such grasshoppers everywhere!” The remote control was switched to another channel, which immediately attracted the younger sister’s glares.

“Brother, pay me the remote control!”

“I won’t watch him today. How can I tune to which TV Station he is!” Jung said while talking. Hyuk-jae has always been paying attention to the younger sister’s expression. She has a pair of bright and intelligent eyes staring at her, which is really cute.

Seeing the younger sister’s expression about to cry, Jung Hyuk-jae threw the remote control to her. In order to compensate the younger sister, he took out the fruit knife and apple from the desk in the living room. A whole apple is peeled out in one minute, and the peeled apple peels continuously, which is very magical.

The apple was split in half and half was passed to her. Jung Hyuk-jae asked: “Where is the single “Snow Flower” that I gave you a few days ago? I’m looking for it at home today. Why didn’t I find it in a lap?”

“Oh, I gave it to Yoon-a. They said that there is a Sunbae in the company who likes to listen to it, but I haven’t bought it, so I gave it to her.” Chewing on the apple, Jung Min-joo’s eyes didn’t move away from the TV, he explained in his mouth.

“It sounds good, right?”

“It sounds good, but Yoon-a and others don’t like to sing Park Hyo-shin very much.”

Jung Hyuk-jae was very surprised, and asked aloud: “Why?”

“I don’t know.” Jung Min-joo shook the head, and seemed to remember something in a blink of an eye, chasing and replied, ” Listening to Yoon-a, they said that this man looks more perverted, right?”

Jung Hyuk-jae was stunned, and then he seemed to think of some rumors in his previous life, hehe laughed.

………………………………………..

Before ten o’clock in the evening, because the 2nd day is Monday and I have to go to school, the younger sister Min-joo has already gone to sleep in her bedroom early, but the light is still on in Jung Hyuk-jae’s bedroom. , I saw that he was lying on the table and writing something quickly.

If he said that when he was at TV Station, his work during the day was mainly filming, then after nine o’clock in the evening, his work became writing. Of course, it was not just writing in the simple sense. From the script From the expansion to the organization, the speculation of various lines and the conversion of scenes, these all are Jung Hyuk-jae’s work content at night.

There is no cheat in a broad sense. What he has is only eleven years more memories than others. Although these memories are intangible, they are his most precious wealth. Formally because of this memory, he made an unimaginable income for ordinary people in just six months.

Half an hour later, Jung Hyuk-jae stopped his pen and shook his sore wrist. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples. His long-standing body seemed to be fucked. The clockwork is average, all kinds of awkward and tight. After getting up and stretching a few times and doing more than ten push-ups, Jung Hyuk-jae felt better now.

I got up and looked at the quiet night of Seoul outside the window. There was silence everywhere, and the sound was absorbed by the loose snow on the street. The snow that fell last night can be said to be the biggest one in the beginning of the year. According to the news, several houses in the suburbs of Seoul were crushed by snow. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.

Although this night is very peaceful and peaceful, but I don’t know why, Jung Hyuk-jae feels that something important has been forgotten by himself, so he hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and found the notebook he wrote the other day. , Reading book by book in chronological order, when I saw the date of January 17th, I finally remembered what happened on that day.

“So it’s tomorrow?”

Jung Hyuk-jae sighed with emotion when he glanced at a few words that he jotted down in his notebook.

On January 17, 2005, if this did not happen, this day may be an extremely ordinary day in history, the weather is clear and cold, an ordinary day, an extremely ordinary Monday, and the past Time is no different.

But when this date is combined with the word’X File’, everything becomes different. At the beginning of 2005, many stars of hundreds of people were caught by this one hundred pages of’X The “Files” is involved, and there are almost no exceptions among the many celebrities currently active, and all of them are on the list.

In the entertainment industry, a pool of clear water turned into ink in an instant, and none of the stars who jumped into it could escape.

In the early morning of January 17th, a small forum on the Internet suddenly broke out an’X File’, and many curious netizens clicked on this link.. ….
