Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 88 Planning the layout
Most people, or most newcomers, will inevitably get excited when faced with such a scene.

But Quan Xuanhe looked quite calm standing on the stage. He spoke the thank-you speech fluently and skillfully, without the immature look that many newcomers should have.

The reason may also be that Kwon Hyun Hyuk returned to Korea only after deciding to enter the entertainment industry, and then learned about a series of entertainment industry situations.

But compared to an authentic Korean, he still doesn't have a very real understanding of some related things.

At the same time, it was also because he was too confident. These things might seem extremely precious to others, but they were not enough to make him so excited that he couldn't speak.

At worst, he can just go back to work. There's nothing he can't do since he graduated from a prestigious university.

"grateful."

Thank some people as usual, then thank some people who are not very related, and finally make a closing statement.

"Finally, I hope to have more breakthroughs next year and become even stronger."

Quan Xuanhe concluded by saying something that sounded a bit unconventional.

In the subsequent awards ceremony, the crew of One Day won one of the most important awards of the night, the TV Drama of the Year Award.

This award is second only to the grand award, and the reason why I cannot win the final grand award is very simple, that is, the ratings are not good.

If the ratings show any improvement, the grand prize will be theirs, but there is no other way. For TV stations, ratings are the first indicator, and in the end they still have to rely on ratings to make a living.

It's rare for an alternative drama like Ou Yitian to appear.

A group of people came on stage and director Kim Sang-seop stood in front of the microphone and spoke.

After the award ceremony, the director hosted a dinner party and invited several people to celebrate.

Several important people present had won awards, so the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

In the middle of the meeting, Kwon Hyun-hyuk found Kim Sang-seob and whispered something to him.

“Brother, the OTT rights for this drama haven’t been sold yet, right?”

As a director, he naturally knew some related things, but Kim Sang-seob was curious why Kwon Hyun-hyuk suddenly asked about this matter.

"Not yet. What's the matter? Did someone ask you to do this?"

Kim Sang-seob asked curiously.

"No, I thought if the copyright is not sold, we can actually put it on OTT platforms. Isn't our overseas broadcast very popular?"

"If there are formal and complete distribution channels, the effect will be better."

Quan Xuanhe has aroused the thoughts of future generations.

Next year is almost here. The flu officially affected the film industry in February and thereafter, and then came the story of Netflix's rapid rise within a year.

Now that he has taken the lead in connecting with Netflix, he will be able to enjoy more benefits in the future.

Just talking about the post-epidemic film and television industry ecosystem, there are quite a few dramas that have been piling up and have not been able to be broadcast.

Later on, it became so difficult that it was not an easy task to schedule the broadcast.

Therefore, striving to be able to broadcast the completed TV series stably also has a great impact on casting.

The casting is not big enough and the popularity is not high enough, which means that the platform may not be interested in it and will not buy your drama. Ultimately, it will not be able to be broadcast online, and the investment cost cannot be recovered, which will lead to losses in the end.

Another phenomenon is that Netflix is ​​wealthy and generous, and is willing to spend money. For them, the cost of Korean actors is quite cheap compared to European and American actors.

So this is why, even though the flu caused a great depression in the film industry, the pay kept getting higher and higher, even rising all the way to higher than during the most prosperous period before.

The salary for shooting one episode can reach millions, which is almost catching up with the salary level of domestic entertainment.

At the same time, due to the explosion of online platforms, overseas copyrights are becoming increasingly important.

As a result, the salaries of K-Pop actors have skyrocketed, ultimately forcing many actors with strong acting skills to actively appear in melodramas to maintain their own interests. Therefore, after the pandemic, the Korean film and television industry is expected to develop in an increasingly distorted state. Some people are claiming that Netflix is ​​controlling the Korean film and television industry, and it is not entirely unreasonable.

"That's what I said, but I don't really have much thought. You should ask the Lord about that."

The Zhuxi he mentioned was Wen Zhuxi, the producer of Ouyitian.

"Brother, can you help me contact them when the time comes?"

"Okay, you want to sell the rights to Netflix?"

"Yes."

There is no need to hide this. This is what Kwon Hyun Hyuk is thinking about. There is no need to hide it from Kim Sang Seob.

My uncle Park Jung-jung knows the senior management of Netflix. As for why they know each other, it is actually related to Netflix's actions in recent years.

The investment team of South Korean film production and distribution giant NEW and Lotte Entertainment jumped to Netflix, and Park Jung-jung happened to know each other because he had been deeply involved in the film and television industry for many years and had a wide network of contacts.

It doesn't matter how many favors you have, as long as you know each other and can get in touch, that's enough.

It was not difficult for Quan Xuanhe to connect Netflix with this side.

The quality of the dramas of Ouyi itself is also good enough, and it can be considered a Korean drama, so there is no problem in attracting platforms like Netflix.

Netflix is ​​determined to enter the Korean market, but the local feedback is not strong. Even the film and television industry does not welcome Netflix and even regards it as an invasion.

Think about the industry’s reaction when Xu Guangtou sold Lost in Russia to ByteDance, and you will know what the attitude of the film and television industry is towards online platforms.

"I'll help you contact the production company later. You should also take the initiative to tell Zhuxi and communicate with MBC as well."

Kim Sang-seop has a good relationship with him, so he is naturally willing to help him. As for more, it depends on him.

But don’t forget, Kwon Hyun Hyuk is thinking about his next drama, so we will have to think about it together then.

"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely remember this favor. I will treat you when you are free."

Quan Xuanhe's words and deeds are well-spoken and he is a real veteran.

What Kim Sang-seop said meant that he was willing to do him a favor, so it was no wonder that he had been flattering him from the beginning until now, as it came in handy at the critical moment.

Being able to pull the director over to your side already means you have a lot of say.

"There's no rush."

Kim Sang-seop patted him and said in a rather drunken tone.

Quan Xuanhe took the initiative to fill his glass with wine. The two of them clinked their lips in the air, the wine foamed, and he took a sip and drank it all in one gulp.

This thing must be accomplished, not only for his identity as an actor, but also to gain more capital for him.

He doesn't want to be a star who is like a puppet. He wants to truly make use of external things for his own benefit and be the one in charge.

The two of them were whispering to each other without being disturbed by others. They all had some good eyesight and knew that they were talking in secret, so no one interrupted them without paying attention.

After the two of them finished talking, they burst into laughter and returned to their previous cheerful state.

"Xuanhe, I wish your new drama a big success!"

Kim Hye-yoon raised her glass to him happily to congratulate him, looking very pleasing.

Quan Xuanhe glanced at Kim Hye-yoon, whose life would soar to fame in the next four years due to TV dramas, and smiled warmly and cordially, then raised his glass readily.

"I wish you a long and prosperous journey."
