Millennium director

"Hello, Director Wu Yuan!"

"I am Satomi Ishihara/Yui Aragaki. I am honored to receive your invitation to attend tonight's banquet."

“Welcome to Japan!”

Kua Kua means two standard bows at 90 degrees, which Wu Yuan is a little uncomfortable with.

Of course, Ishihara Satomi and Aragaki Yui's English communication skills are no problem, and neither of them have a Japanese accent in English, which is even more rare in Japan.

Wu Yuan quickly offered help: "You're welcome, Miss Ishihara's English is really good."

"I've watched your TV series "Five to Nine", and your English is very good in the TV series."

Wu Yuan has actually watched this TV series. When this TV series was broadcast in his previous life, it was quite popular on the Internet. Of course, it was not imported from the original version, but resources contributed by the Chinese in Japan, and then subtitled by domestic subtitle groups. Make subtitles.

There is no way, China's approval for the introduction of foreign language dramas is relatively strict, and it is generally difficult to introduce them at the same time. Therefore, when popular TV dramas are released abroad, domestic audiences cannot watch them immediately, and naturally there will be people who want to watch them. Subtitles set.

Even in this life, the TV series that Guangying Kuaibo cooperates with Japan are not so smoothly introduced into the country. Generally, they can only be launched on the domestic Guangying Kuaibo half a year to a year after they are broadcast in Japan.

Of course, this situation is limited to China. Other Asian sites of Guangying Kuaibo can basically update Japanese and Korean dramas simultaneously.

Therefore, Guangying Qvod has developed very rapidly in Southeast Asian countries in the past two years, because they only need to use this software to watch the latest Japanese and Korean dramas simultaneously.

Although there are not many film and television dramas that Kuangying Kuaibo has financed or co-produced in Japan and South Korea, its branches in these two countries have also undertaken the task of purchasing the network broadcast rights of film and television dramas in the two countries.

Because these two countries do not have large-scale online video platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, Youku, and Qiyi Video, the development of Light and Shadow Qvod in the two countries is still very smooth.

Before Netflix had time to expand into Asia, Light and Shadow Qvod almost covered all the classic and popular TV series from Japan and South Korea, and won exclusive online broadcast rights across Asia.

Even if it's not exclusive broadcast rights, at least it's shared with the TV station's streaming channel.

Before Netflix had time to enter Asia, Light and Shadow Kuaibo had already won the streaming rights of film and television dramas from China, Japan and South Korea, Asia’s most important film and television drama exporting countries.

Just like Netflix later took over almost all the copyrights of Korean dramas, it even went even more thorough.

Nowadays, almost all Asian countries, mainly Southeast Asian countries, can directly watch a large number of Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, and Chinese dramas using Guangying Kuaibo. Their domestic online streaming markets are all unified by Guangying Kuaibo.

What's even more sad is that because Wu Yuan doesn't like TV series from Southeast Asia, he didn't let Guangying Kuaibo cooperate with local film and television companies to produce TV series.

At most, the sites in Thailand buy Thai dramas in large quantities, the ones in Vietnam sell Vietnamese dramas, and the ones in Malaysia and Singapore buy local popular dramas.

Moreover, these TV series from various countries are only available online on the websites of each country, and they only buy the exclusive broadcast rights in their own country.

It’s not that Wu Yuan doesn’t look down on it, it’s that TV dramas from small Southeast Asian countries really have no market in other Asian countries. Even Chinese audiences who are not taboo about meat and vegetables rarely watch TV dramas from Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and other countries.

At most, they just watch some Thai dramas, and fujoshis prefer to watch those Thai dramas that are so sexy.

Under such circumstances, how could Wu Yuan be willing to buy the Asian broadcast rights of these national TV series? Isn't this giving them free money?

Even with a cash flow of US$2 billion, money cannot be in such a bad situation!

On the other hand, Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, Chinese dramas, and Light and Shadow Express have firmly implemented the Asia-wide expansion strategy.

The first two are because they have been major cultural exporters in the Asian film and television industry in the past 20 to 30 years. Countries in Asia are accustomed to watching TV series from these two countries, including China.

Naturally, Chinese dramas are a subject that Wu Yuan must strongly support from a Chinese perspective. In addition, the current Chinese TV dramas are indeed catching up. The ratings in Southeast Asia are also pretty good, and have grown to tenth of the Korean dramas. Three-quarters of it.

However, at this stage, for Light and Shadow Express to take root in Asia, it still needs to rely on traditional Japanese and Korean dramas.

Therefore, the look in Wu Yuan's eyes when he looked at Satomi Ishihara and Yui Aragaki was tender.

"Two beautiful actresses, thank you very much for reaching an in-depth cooperation with Light and Shadow Express. I very much look forward to you bringing more and more exciting film and television dramas to audiences across Asia in the future."

"In Japan, you are the two actresses I look up to the most."

Well, except for the two of them, Wu Yuan really doesn't think highly of other Japanese actresses, and he doesn't cooperate with him, so why should he think highly of them.

On the other hand, Satomi Ishihara and Yui Aragaki blushed immediately after hearing Wu Yuan's words, and kept thanking them excitedly, saying that they would work hard to film and produce better works.

As for actors, even Wu Yuan couldn't actually tell whether the two girls were really showing their true feelings or whether they were acting.

But it didn't matter. He just smiled and continued to encourage me, and said, "If there are suitable roles in my movies in the future, I will definitely consider inviting you to star in them."

As for when this suitable role will appear, Wu Yuan himself doesn't know.

But seeing the expectant expressions of the two girls, Wu Yuan was still in a wonderful mood.

This is the goddess who was in the hearts of countless Chinese otakus in her previous life, but she looked at her eagerly, looking forward to participating in her own movie.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had this kind of pretense of pleasure.

Cool!

The expression Liu Yifei looked at Wu Yuan became more and more strange, and Wu Yuan even seemed to hear a faint sound of grinding his teeth.

However, just as a chill ran down his spine and he was wondering how to explain it to his fiancée, a somewhat aged voice successfully saved him.

A man who was dressed slightly conservatively and seriously and looked to be in his early forties. He looked like a senior leader of a traditional and conservative Japanese company. He took the initiative to hold the cup and walked up to Wu Yuan. He looked away from Satomi Ishihara and Yui Aragaki with his eyes. , smiled and clinked glasses with Wu Yuan.

"Director Wu, I have admired his name for a long time, and today I finally get to meet him."

Yoho, Mandarin, and it’s very standard Mandarin.

Wu Yuan immediately felt curious and close to hear such standard Mandarin in a foreign country.

"you are?"

"I would like to take the liberty to introduce you, I am the director of the film department of Toei Co., Ltd."

"I wonder if Director Wu is interested in making a Sino-Japanese co-production film?" (End of Chapter)
