Chapter 560 Next Stop: Love Letter

Beijing International Airport parking lot.

"Welcome back!"

Li Xiaoping personally brought people to pick up the plane. Several cars lined up in a row. Those who didn't know would think that some big shot had come.

Wu Yuan was really embarrassed, so he pulled Liu Yifei and walked into the car quickly.

"Why did you come to pick me up in person?"

"The company is so busy, there is no need to do these formalities."

Wu Yuan said with a little dissatisfaction.

The current Light and Shadow Times is not the small company it used to be. Even if it is not listed, the overall valuation can be billions of RMB. The industry is spread throughout the entire entertainment industry, connecting the upstream and downstream of the entertainment industry, from production to sales to artist training.

Li Xiaoping, the nominal general manager and the actual company CEO, has a heavy burden on his shoulders.

It's really a bit ridiculous to come to pick up Wu Yuan at the airport.

"Director Wu, I just happened to come to send several executives of the company to South Korea today, and I picked you up by the way." Li Xiaoping explained with a chuckle.

"Send company executives to Korea?" Wu Yuan frowned and asked in confusion, "Did anything happen in Korea?"

"No." Li Xiaoping shook her head, and the smile on her face became three points deeper.

"The company's expansion in Korea is going smoothly, and we plan to develop new business."

In recent years, Light and Shadow Times has not been limited to domestic market development.

With Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong, Light and Shadow Times has always been ambitious for the entire Asian market.

The two most important parts of the Asian market are the Japanese and Korean markets.

In Japan, mainly relying on the influence accumulated by Wu Yuan's many film works in Japan, and the good cooperative relationship developed with Japanese entertainment companies, it is slowly making arrangements for TV series production.

Now the Japanese branch of Light and Shadow Times has cooperated with local Japanese production companies to produce two TV series.

However, Japan is more conservative than Korea. Most TV series are still produced by TV stations themselves. Light and Shadow Times can only cooperate with TV stations such as TBS, Fuji, and NHK, and its business development is not smooth.

If you really want to open up the market in Japan, you still have to rely on Internet movies and TV shows. You have to wait until Guangying Kuaibo enters the Japanese market before you can make truly self-made TV shows and TV shows.

In comparison, Guangying Kuaibo has developed relatively smoothly in South Korea.

Thanks to the fact that "Goblin" starring Wu Yuan himself was a hit in South Korea, Guangying Kuaibo, which joined hands with TVN, successfully landed in the Korean film and television industry.

After "Goblin", Guangying Kuaibo cooperated with TVN to shoot "Queen Inhyun's Man" and "Gentleman's Dignity". It is currently filming "The Heirs" and plans to shoot "Master's Sun".

These dramas are all cooperation between Guangying Times and TVN, and they are broadcast simultaneously on the Internet and TV.

In the field of variety shows, PD Luo Yingxi, who works for KBS TV in South Korea, was also poached by Guangying Kuaibo at a huge cost. He is creating the "Flower" trilogy. At present, the first "Grandpas Over Flowers" has been aired and has received considerable attention in South Korea.

At the same time, the "Idol of the Week" program produced by Tvn itself is also exclusively broadcast online on Guangying Kuaibo.

This is an idol variety show that interviews a group of fans' favorite idol groups in each episode, with quick questions and answers between the host and the idol members, full of hilarious and instant idol variety shows, which is very attractive to young audiences.

Under the dual offensive of this TV series and variety show, Guangying Kuaibo has gained a group of loyal viewers in South Korea and currently ranks second among South Korean online video websites.

However, this is the company development route of Guangying Kuaibo. Although Guangying Kuaibo and Guangying Times belong to the same boss, the two companies are clearly divided in terms of work. The good development of Guangying Kuaibo does not mean that Guangying Times can successfully enter South Korea, right?

After all, South Korea is very exclusive. As a pure film and television production company, Guangying Kuaibo is unlikely to enter the Korean film production industry, right?

"It's like this. During the time when you were filming abroad, Director Wu, the company reached cooperation with several Korean film production companies under the matchmaking of the Korean branch of Guangying Kuaibo, and planned to make a few Sino-Korean co-productions to test the waters."

"The Korean film industry is still developing very well. In the past few years, there have been several phenomenal films that have had an influence throughout Asia."

"For example, the movie "Uncle" starring Won Bin and Kim Sae-ron, and the science fiction movie "The Host."

"Didn't Guangying Kuaibo have a good cooperation with Tvn? Guangying Kuaibo helped us contact CJ ENM, the parent company behind tvn, and discussed a film cooperation project."

At this point, Wu Yuan understood.

It turned out that the two "subsidiaries" acted as matchmakers for their respective parent companies and came up with a film cooperation project. No wonder Guangying Times sent executives to discuss it.

"CJ Film Production Company under the Korean CJ Entertainment Group has a very good script, an action crime film about thieves, which will be filmed in many places in Hong Kong Island and Macau."

"Originally, CJ planned to cooperate with a Hong Kong Island film production company, and even the negotiations were almost completed."

"But because of our presence, CJ plans to upgrade this movie to a co-production."

"After all, the current mainland film market is also very broad. If we can join the Light and Shadow Era, this movie will be able to gain access to the Chinese mainland market."

As the number one film production company in the mainland, Light and Shadow Times has been invited by foreign film and television companies to cooperate and make co-productions in the past few years.

After all, in the general environment, the main development direction of China's film industry in recent years is co-productions. All companies are doing it, including China-Korea, China-Japan, China-US, China-France, China-Denmark, and China-UK co-productions.

But Light and Shadow Times has never been very interested in so-called co-productions. Wu Yuan has also given orders in the company to try not to get involved in co-productions and just make their own movies.

However, after reading the script submitted by the Korean side, Li Xiaoping really felt that this was a good script with the potential to be popular throughout Asia, so she took the initiative to send people to Korea for negotiations.

After listening to Li Xiaoping's introduction, Wu Yuan also knew which movie it was.

That was the "Thieves Alliance" that broke 17 box office records in Korean film history when it was released, and successfully ranked first in the box office in Korean film history that year!

Originally, this movie should have started shooting in July this year, and it should have been finished now.

However, after the emergence of Wu Yuan and Light and Shadow Times, many things have changed.

Although he doesn't like co-productions and has never been optimistic about co-productions, Wu Yuan doesn't think it's impossible if it's "Thieves Alliance".

"I see, you continue to follow up on this matter." He nodded, recognizing Li Xiaoping's vision.

"Except for the general decision, you can make your own decisions on the rest of the company's affairs."

"I'm only concerned about the release plan of "Love Letter" now."

"This movie is my first starring movie after ten years, and it's also my first time to shoot a pure love movie."

"I hope the fans can accept it and bring surprises to the fans!"

Wu Yuan leaned on the back seat of the car, his tone a little nervous.

This surprised Li Xiaoping and Liu Yifei.

It's just a low-cost love movie for practice. Director Wu (senior brother), who is used to big scenes, actually felt nervous and nervous?

Isn't this an illusion? (End of this chapter)
