Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 750: Bangguo

What professional qualities should an excellent host possess?
Excellent oral communication skills are essential.

Some hosts even take their monologue and speaking speed as their own characteristics.

There is also the ability to control the situation. How to calm and adjust the relationships and atmosphere among the people present is a science.

But these two items are just skills.

The real ability should be skill.

Just like the moves and internal skills in martial arts novels.

To be truly powerful, one must rely on inner strength.

The first is cultural heritage.

The host has to come into contact with all kinds of people from all over the world. If you don't have any knowledge, you will be embarrassed when people ask you a question. What's the point of your hosting then?

Generally, the hosts of interview programs have very rich cultural background.

In this regard, CCTV should be the best.

After all, CCTV’s selection requirements are the highest.

In addition to cultural heritage, there is another very mysterious ability, which is to understand people's hearts.

Or it can be called insight and observation.

The best host should be able to get a clear picture of the other person's abilities, knowledge, family background, and even their mood today within just five minutes of meeting and chatting, so as to facilitate their work.

Therefore, Li Xiang is worthy of being the former number one anchor of Mango TV, and her professional ability is not exaggerated.

"Leader, Boss Zhang."

"It's a rare occasion for us all to get together for a meal, and it's not a big party at the station, so I respect you all."

Li Xiang tilted her head back and drank half a glass of red wine.

"Good!" Mango TV Vice President Zhang Huali clapped and Zhang Yuan also applauded.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan glanced at the place where they were going to have dinner today.

It's not a fancy and luxurious club.

The average cost per person is several thousand or even tens of thousands, and when you have a meal there are a bunch of young girls and wives accompanying you. This is not the case.

Instead, I chose a place with a farm-like environment, which was quite down-to-earth and had a warm atmosphere.

The dishes are also very homely, not just abalone, shark fin, and bird's nest.

We ordered some flavored shrimps, salted duck, chopped pepper fish head, and a portion of shiny black stinky tofu.

"As expected of the former sister, she is very thoughtful."

The place and the dishes were prepared by Li Xiang.

In fact, Zhang Yuan asked her to help with the preparations before coming. Wang Yuelun wanted to contact the most expensive and best restaurant in the area, but was stopped by Li Xiang.

Wang Yuelun was thinking that since Zhang Yuan was going to be his financial sponsor and the person he invited was the leader of Mango TV, he should treat him well, right?
"You're already spending so much before we even start working together. People already think your cost is too high. Isn't this even more worrying?"

"I have to wonder if you would also embezzle funds by eating and drinking lavishly while filming." Li Xiang rolled her eyes at her man in annoyance.

"He asked me to accompany him, so it must be a private matter, but it's not a private matter that needs to be kept secret."

"I guess Zhang Yuan wants to ask Mr. Zhang for help, so he has to do it according to his boss's taste."

Zhang Huali is a native of Hunan, and the dishes on the table today are all his favorites.

Zhang Yuan glanced at Teacher He beside him again.

I thought that Li Xiang and he had a really good relationship.

Go to her place, Teacher He will take her with him.

She brought Teacher He with her to the dinner.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you seem to be taking another step forward recently?" Zhang Yuan brought it up deliberately.

"Haha, no no, that's all nonsense."

What nonsense... Zhang Yuan was so happy when he saw Zhang Huali's expression that his back teeth were showing.

Not admitting it until things are completely settled is also a cautious move.

He is now the vice president of Huguang Group and will soon be promoted to deputy director of Mango TV.

Still the first deputy station.

Apart from the old director Ouyang of Mango TV, he is the biggest.

It is equivalent to being the second in command in terms of real power matters.

He refused to admit it, but after being bombarded by several people, he was in a good mood and drank a lot.

"We will need your help in the future, and we will cooperate more."

Zhang Yuan came forward with the wine.

"No problem." He answered very readily.

After the two of them toasted, Zhang Yuan continued.

"I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help with something."

“And it’s all about collaboration.”

Zhang Huali knew very well that this kid's food was not for free.

There must be something wrong with me.

The old man lowered his body, acting as if he had just drunk a lot and was now drunk.

After a while, what Zhang Yuan said was easy to handle, and he woke up.

It’s not easy, he’s drunk.

This kind of trick is very common for old-timers.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Mr. Zhang spoke with his tongue much bigger.

"Zhang Yuan is looking for you for something good." Li Xiang took the opportunity to chime in.

"Yeah, it's not a big deal."

"I just want you to help me contact a company in South Korea."

"That company is your Mango TV partner."

"Oh?"

Zhang Huali didn't understand why they went to South Korea?

After chatting with him in detail again, he nodded slightly.

Saying hello is not a difficult thing.

This little bit of face can still be given.

After the dinner was over, Zhang Yuan personally saw the other person off to the car.

The breeze from the Liuyang River made everyone feel much more awake.

"Are you going to South Korea for business?" Teacher He asked.

"Correct."

"Your business scope is getting bigger and bigger, congratulations." Li Xiang was also curious about what he wanted to do, but she knew not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, so she just said something flattering.

"I can't figure it out."

After he left, Wang Yuelun shook his head and said.

"If you figured it out, we wouldn't have to beg him for money." Li Xiang shook her hair.

It is easy for female celebrities to fall in love with photographers or videographers, and there are many such people in the circle.

It's just like how male celebrities tend to marry their assistants or agents.

Maybe it's because the photographer has an artistic temperament and is willing to take pictures for me, which makes it easy for me to develop feelings for him.

After Zhang Yuan left Mango TV, he did not go directly to South Korea, but went to Shanghai instead.

First, I went to the Magic City Station to investigate the situation.

Lin Cong said that "Troublesome Family" has been successfully completed and will be broadcast on major TV stations soon.

He used this excuse to take a stroll and invited Li Ruigang to dinner.

Just like when he approached Zhang Huali, he also asked the other party to help him contact a cooperative company in South Korea.

For a leader of this level, it was just a matter of a phone call, and the other party agreed very easily.

He turned around and walked around the potatoes.

Wang Wei and Yang Lei had just registered their marriage in Hong Kong, and they were holding hands and showing their love in front of him.

It’s very sweet, fingers intertwined.

Not only that, just like Li Xiang, once a woman is obsessed with love, she will be open-hearted.

Yang Lei took out the millions he had saved over the years and invested them into Tudou’s capital pool.

He also used his status as a host to have access to many business elites, which helped him to gain many resources and also promoted the event extensively.

Later, when LeTV collapsed, it affected a large number of artists and bosses in the entertainment industry.

Because Boss Jia’s wife is Gan Wei, who graduated from the Military Art Academy, and her family has some connections with Lao Han. She worked in distribution at China Film Group in her early days.

She is also a member of the "Teddy Family" organized by Huo Siyan, commonly known as the Fake Face Sisters Group, and has a very good relationship with Qin Lan and Li Xiaolu.

With the help of her, Boss Jia attracted a huge amount of funds in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, many people in investment banks or financial circles are willing to marry female stars.

On the one hand, it can increase visibility and obtain funds.

Secondly, the financial circle is as bustling as the entertainment circle, and they are all well-matched.

Female stars can be pretty to decorate their appearance, improve the genes of the next generation, and accompany guests when needed, killing two birds with one stone...

Okay... Looking at Wang Wei and Yang Lei feeding each other in front of him, Zhang Yuan had a lot of complaints but didn't know how to express them.

But that's how human beings are. When love comes, there's a huge gap between them, and when love is gone, they're disgusted with each other.

Ultimately, it’s a problem of Wang Wei’s character. He has the ability to do big things, but he doesn’t have the skills to do them.

After returning from the Magic City, he stayed at home in the Imperial Capital for a few more days.

After confirming that several film and television companies in South Korea were still in contact, Zhang Yuan asked Yang Siwei to reply to each of them one by one, arrange a meeting time with them, and he would visit them in person. After everything was prepared, he took his assistant and a student translator selected from a domestic university to South Korea.

He didn't look for students just to save money.

First of all, I can’t find a translator when I get there, because I can’t trust him.

In China, there are many experienced people in the translation industry. What if they turn around and sell themselves out?
The probability is small, but not impossible.

Students are young and inexperienced, their reputation in the country is there, and if they are paid enough, the chances of them temporarily betraying are much smaller.

Students also have temporary visas and graduation certificates, which provide multiple insurance policies.

The total population of South Korea is 5000 million.

The entertainment industry is exceptionally developed compared to that of ordinary countries, and the proportion of people employed in the industry is also far higher than that of ordinary countries.

SM Entertainment was established in 95.

Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this company is quite good at playing...

The following year, the early boy band "HOT" was released.

To be honest, except Kangta, the others in this group look a bit "bionic" and "anthropomorphic".

But it brought about a wave of "Korean Wave".

By the year 2000, it had become popular throughout Asia, and had formed a very strong fan base among junior and senior high school students.

Fortunately, "Meteor Garden" came out and interrupted this wave of Korean wave.

But later, TVXQ, Girls' Generation, Super Junior, and EXO still swept the entire Asia-Pacific region.

It even tried to extend its tentacles into the European and American markets.

In the early years, South Korea's cultural industry also relied on imitation, especially imitation of its enemy island country.

But gradually formed its own distinctive style.

Needless to say, boy and girl groups have their own separate category called KPOP.

When it comes to performance, they also have a unique "staring and roaring" style of emotional expression.

After seeing it, Ma Jingtao exclaimed that he was an expert.

This exaggerated performance style has become their characteristic.

But the downside is that this place is very exclusive.

And it is the kind of exclusion that does not distinguish between right and wrong.

For example, Korean beef and Wagyu beef, they insist that Korean beef is the highest quality.

However, this style of behavior was also learned from the island country.

In the early years, in order to promote local agricultural products, the island's agricultural cooperatives spared no effort to discredit Chinese rice and other crops. To this day, the islanders still have the impression that Chinese products are of poor quality, toxic and harmful.

Xenophobia also means unity.

It can be understood as being united against the outside world.

Of course, they are also notoriously ruthless to their own people.

But the one who is now facing the outside world is Zhang Yuan who just landed at Incheon Airport.

"Huh." Zhang Yuan glanced at the airport.

"Seoul isn't that great as a capital."

Shanghai Pudong Airport, Chengdu Shuangliu Airport, Beijing Capital Airport, and Suzhou Meiyou Airport all look much more advanced and cleaner than this one.

Although it is also a foreign country, Singapore's Changi Airport is much more upscale than this one.

"Brother Yuan, this place is called Seoul. It is no longer called Hancheng." The translator reminded.

"I prefer to be called Seoul."

"If the Koreans hear this, they'll be angry."

"Then I'd be more than happy."

translate:……

South Korea claims to have four major film and television companies.

CJ, Rakuten, SHOW BOX and NEW MOVIE.

At this moment, NEW MOVIE, which has the least experience, has not yet been established.

Of the remaining three, Samsung is behind CJ.

Behind Lotte is Lotte.

Behind SHOW BOX is the Orion Group.

Anyway, South Korea is a very small country and there are only a few monopoly enterprises.

All three companies contacted Zhang Yuan.

There are four smaller companies left.

"Brother Yuan, shall we go and have talks with these three companies first?" the translator muttered, holding the itinerary.

He is very excited!

Can serve as an interpreter for big stars.

You can also follow him to major film and television companies in South Korea!
Most students majoring in Korean admire South Korea and admire Hallyu.

This trip was like a "pilgrimage" for him.

"No, on the contrary, first reject the smaller companies and then go to these three."

"We have a tight schedule. On average, we have to meet two families a day. You must be working hard."

“It’s not hard, not hard…” The young man thought to himself, so all big stars have such nice attitudes?
I visited a few small companies first.

They produce 3 to 5 films a year, most of which are low-budget or erotic films.

It was naturally impossible for Zhang Yuan to cooperate with them. He just wanted to use them to test the waters.

After a discussion in the afternoon, the other party's boss invited him to dinner.

He said he would take him to eat the most authentic Korean food.

Zhang Yuan and Zhao Dandan looked at the dishes in front of them: kimchi, kimchi, kimchi, soybean paste soup, kimchi, kimchi, kimchi...

"Brother Zhang Yuan, are they deliberately bullying us by treating us to this?" the assistant asked from the side.

“This is also what they serve at state banquets.” Zhang Yuan shook his head and started eating helplessly.

The next day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

In the evening, the other party invited us to dinner again.

Zhang Yuan and his assistant took a look at the "delicacies" on the table.

Kimchi, kimchi, kimchi, army stew, kimchi, kimchi, kimchi, kimchi…

"Brother Zhang Yuan, I want to go home." The assistant said softly.

"Come on, at least there's some meat today, eat it quickly."

South Korea's soju is just average. It's neither like domestic liquor nor like the island country's sake. It's neither bland nor strong.

Another day passed and all the small companies were contacted.

"The highest bid was 1.5 million won."

"We need to buy all the rights for distribution, re-screening, remakes, and discs."

Zhang Yuan laughed.

A trip like this costs hundreds of thousands of dollars for food and clothing. 1.5 million won is less than 200 million. Isn't this bullshit?

Next, I talked to those big companies.

Several major companies are better.

For small companies, the boss should come forward personally.

When I arrived at the territories of these CJ companies, they sent a deputy minister to meet with me, which was equivalent to the deputy general manager of the department in China.

The company's senior leaders did not show up at all.

But I still treated you to dinner in the evening.

And we ate barbecue.

The assistant almost cried when he saw the ribs.

Then I went to Rakuten and SHOW BOX, and the results were similar.

The people who met with him were either the deputy minister or the section chief at a lower level.

He dresses in a sanctimonious manner, but the prices he charges are a bit beastly.

None of the three major companies paid more than 100 million won for all the copyrights!

Whether it is the price offered or the business arrangements, they all reveal arrogance and bullying of customers.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, we seem to be looked down upon."

Over the past few days, even the assistant has realized what was going on.

“We are a small company.”
