The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

Wu Xiuyan already knew Ding Xin very well, and seeing his expression, she quickly guessed what he was thinking.

He quickly advised, "Ah-Xin, you can't always think of solving problems with violence. We've only just begun. If you go too far, you might force them to unite..."

"So what?"

Ding Xin raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly, "You think I'm afraid of them?"

"I know you're not afraid!"

Wu Xiuyan sighed helplessly, as if advising a child: "Have you considered that these entertainment companies are all more or less deeply involved with certain media outlets? We're already the target of everyone's criticism, what if..."

Having said that, Ding Xin understood what she meant.

The management company doesn't care, but if it provokes the media to gang up on him, then it will be a case of losing more than he gains.

Seeing that Ding Xin's expression softened somewhat, Wu Xiuyan continued, "You don't need to rush, take your time. There are plenty of entertainment agencies in Seoul. I only contacted a small portion of them before. After we get back, I'll try to contact the rest..."

"If that doesn't work, we'll think of other methods..."

Wu Xiuyan's words made a lot of sense, and Ding Xin wasn't someone who couldn't listen to advice.

So he simply nodded, since Wu Xiuyan had always been in charge of the film and television company.

Let her keep trying...

However, Ding Xin had made up his mind.

Wait a while longer; if there's still no progress...

Ding Xin then decided to handle the situation in his own way, by visiting each family individually to have heart-to-heart talks.

He's not having a good time.

Then nobody will have an easy time!

In fact, Ding Xin could also choose to cooperate with the TV station.

In South Korea, 70-80% of Korean dramas broadcast on television are produced and broadcast separately.

The production company's screenwriters will first write an outline, and then the production company will submit the outline to the TV station for review in advance.

This mainly includes South Korea's three major television networks.

MBC is one of them.

If the TV station is interested in the script outline, it will propose a collaboration.

If the production company agrees, then the project can be officially launched.

After the project is approved, the next step is to select a director and actors, and organize various studios to begin filming.

After filming a few episodes, they were sent to the TV station for official broadcast.

Filming while broadcasting!

This actually has one advantage: it allows us to determine the details and direction of the show based on real-time audience feedback.

They constantly make adjustments to cater to the audience's tastes.

This is another time and space, one of the reasons why Korean dramas have become so popular in Asia.

If Ding Xin had the script, he would have directly chosen to cooperate with the TV station.

Then the casting problem will not exist at all.

With a TV station backing you, they can arrange everything for you, from directors to artists.

But Ding Xin did not do that.

He planned to film the entire series first, and then submit it to a television station for collaborative broadcast.

This has two advantages.

First, it won't be subject to the control of the TV station when it starts broadcasting.

Nowadays, Kinmen Film and Television is still a small operation, with only a handful of companies. If they take a script to a TV station...

Therefore, it's impossible for Kinmen Films to ultimately take control of the filming process.

Moreover, the profit margin will be pitifully small.

Secondly, Kinmen Films needs to build its reputation.

This drama has been certified by another timeline, so it has a high probability of becoming a hit.

The benefits of a newly established film and television company being able to independently produce a hit TV series are obvious.

Some people might ask...

Even if you film it, doesn't it still have to be shown on TV?

At that point, you won't have any control over the profits either...

This is wrong.

There is a big difference between the script and the finished film.

Copyright is of paramount importance!

If you take the script with you, and someone takes a liking to it, they will extend a collaboration invitation.

This includes copyright.

If you accept this, then we will have to go down the path of separating production and broadcasting.

Television stations will also be involved in the production.

If the content is modified as it is broadcast, then a portion of the copyright will inevitably end up in the hands of the TV station.

Ding Xin certainly could not tolerate such a thing happening.

What is this small market in South Korea?

If a Korean drama becomes a huge hit, its copyright will be very valuable throughout Asia...

Chapter 144 Come to our company!

However, the trouble with casting this time served as a reminder to Ding Xin.

I thought about it.

He specifically gave Ankhmao a word of advice.

Starting tomorrow, send two people to follow Liu Shizai as his assistants.

These South Korean entertainment agencies are all petty and narrow-minded.

Ding Xin wasn't afraid, but the situation with his subordinates was uncertain.

Just like Yoo Seok-jae, he's about to go on a show on MBC. It's easier to mess with the King of Hell than with his underlings.

The connection at the top has been established.

If someone below tries to trip me up or something, it would be truly frustrating...

......

Gangnam District, Soogok-dong.

Inside a family-run coffee shop.

now.

Han Renjia was sitting quietly in a corner by the window, sipping her rich coffee and enjoying the pedestrians and street scene outside.

Enjoying a leisurely time that is all on their own.

She really liked this coffee shop.

Whenever she has free time, she always comes here.

Surrounded by the rich aroma of coffee, listening to the soft music in the shop, leisurely savoring handcrafted coffee, and feeling the tranquility and comfort.

It has become a habit over the years.

The coffee shop has a simple yet cozy decor.

The wooden tables and chairs, and the warm lighting, all made her feel genuinely relaxed and at ease.

Moreover, compared to other coffee shops, this one is located in a relatively remote area, not within the city limits.

The foot traffic wasn't very high.

In other words, the privacy here is quite strong.

No matter what, Han Renjia is now considered a somewhat well-known celebrity.

They still value privacy very much.

"Sister Renjia?"

A crisp sound, tinged with surprise, rang in her ears.

This brought Han Renjia back to reality from her daze.

She followed the sound, turned her head, and saw a familiar figure standing gracefully in front of her.
