Lu Chen's fan group was first established when he was a host of [Whale TV].
Most of the groups that like to watch live broadcasts on the Internet are otaku. Although the general public opinion of "otaku" is not high, they are young, single, like games, have been on the Internet for a long time, lack of social work experience, and so on.
But there are also strong otaku, and that is technical otaku!
Perhaps in reality, technical otaku do not even have the ability to kill a chicken, but in the Internet world, there is no shortage of people who can call the wind and summon the rain. [Heavy Metal Element] obviously underestimated the power of Lu Chen's fan group. He thought that no one would recognize him with a sockpuppet. As a result, his true identity was found out.
The real name of [Heavy Metal Element] is Gavin Gavin. He is Ling Xiaoxiao's latest assistant. Technogeeks follow the vine to the melon through various Internet clues and dig out his identity and origin.
With conclusive evidence, Lu Chen's fans immediately bombarded Ling Xiaoxiao's blog and post bar. Some people even made "human flesh pictures" and posted them on the Internet. They took screenshots of all the remarks of [Heavy Metal Element] that ridiculed and attacked Lu Chen and used them as a weapon to slap Ling Xiaoxiao's face.
"Our Lu Chen won two big awards. Someone must be so jealous that his teeth fell off, right?"
"Gee, I'm so jealous of him. There are so many villains in the entertainment industry!"
"If you have the guts, come with me. What's the use of your assistant's sockpuppet? Filthy, filthy, and shameless! "
"I hate this kind of sissy who backstabs people the most …"
People drifting in Jianghu, how can they not be stabbed? Fighting in the circle is simply commonplace. There are many star artists who fight each other on the Internet, but few people like Ling Xiaoxiao run to Lu Chen's post bar to say sour words. (TN: Not bad.)
That's right. Although the ID belongs to Ling Xiaoxiao's assistant Gavin, most people believe that it was Ling Xiaoxiao who posted it himself. They also listed the evidence – common words in the post, writing habits, and so on.
Originally, it was not a big deal to use a sockpuppet to make sarcastic remarks. Even Saints would ridicule them. However, it would be very awkward to be exposed.
When Lu Chen and Lu Xi went to eat, the latter also received several interview calls from the media.
The noses of the entertainment reporters were extremely sensitive. When the storm started to blow up on the internet, they acted immediately. They wanted to ask for Lu Chen's opinion. It would be best if they could fiercely rebuke Ling Xiaoxiao. That way, the gossip would be easy to write.
Celebrities quarreling had always been entertainment reporters' favorite. What's more, one side was the current hot Lu Chen!
Unfortunately, Lu Xi didn't give them a chance. No matter which website or newspaper reporter called, she politely replied to them.
"Never heard of such a thing" "No comment" "Lu Chen is busy with work" …
After being Lu Chen's agent for more than half a year, Lu Xi was really trained. She handled these reporters skillfully and easily on the phone, not revealing the slightest bit of information.
Of course, if the reporters insisted on writing nonsense, there was nothing they could do about it. Their low moral integrity could make people dumbfounded!
It wasn't until they sat down in a small private room in the restaurant that Lu Xi's phone finally stopped ringing.
Lu Chen flipped through the menu and asked his sister, "What do you want to eat tonight? Do you want a filet mignon? "
"I don't want to eat meat …"
Lu Xi said with lingering fear, "I've gained a few pounds. Let's have a pot of paella. The food here is pretty good."
Lu Chen really wanted to say that paella was also very nutritious, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to pressure his sister. In the end, he had just picked two dishes when Lu Xi's phone rang again.
Lu Chen was annoyed. "It's dinner time. Turn off your phone!"
Any success had a price. The price of being a star idol was losing a lot of ordinary people's happiness. Life and work were basically inseparable, and there was not much free time and space.
He was still fine. He had already changed his mobile phone, and only his family and friends could be contacted. Lu Xi was miserable. She was on the phone all day long, and she couldn't even have a peaceful meal.
This was something that couldn't be helped. If no one really called, it could only mean that she was completely out of luck.
Even so, those fly-like entertainment reporters were still very annoying!
"Hello, Lu Chen Studio."
Lu Xi put the phone to her ear and raised her right index finger to Lu Chen, indicating that she would take the last call.
She said a few words to the person on the phone, and her expression became serious.
Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but put down the menu in his hand.
After chatting with the other party for a while, Lu Xi ended the call. She shook her phone and asked with a smile, "Guess who called us?"
Lu Chen sweated. "How can I guess? It should be a good thing. "
He knew it just by looking at Lu Xi's expression. She even said things like "welcome" and "see you tomorrow" to the other party.
It was most likely a good thing had come knocking!
Lu Xi smiled and said, "The representative of Korea's SPG Entertainment Company in China. He wants to buy the copyright of 'Autumn in My Heart'!"
Koreans?
Lu Chen was surprised. That was really a good thing!
The domestic entertainment industry began to develop rapidly at the end of the last century. Foreign media and entertainment companies had their eyes on this huge market, and a large number of cultural products such as movies, TV series, music, and so on were imported, forming a great impact.
Especially in Korea, which was a close neighbor of the mainland, the promotion of the cultural industry was great. The Korean Wave formed by Korean dramas and groups swept through most of China, leaving a deep mark in the domestic entertainment industry.
For example, the popular little fresh meats in the entertainment industry were Korean pop idols. There was also the trainee system, the manager system, and so on. Many of them copied the routines and rules of Korea.
In recent years, many domestic artists had gone to Korea for training, and a large number of Korean stars came to China to make money.
Faced with such a situation, the insightful people in the industry were shouting loudly, and even proposed to boycott the Korean Wave.
In general, the peak of the Korean Wave was basically over. The domestic entertainment industry's ability to imitate and learn was extremely strong. After learning from others, they would naturally have to show off their skills and not let the benefits flow out for nothing.
However, that could only be regarded as consolidating the domestic base. Domestic stars had very little influence in Korea, and it was difficult for domestic movies and TV series to be introduced to Korea. The latter market was narrow and closed, with a strong sense of xenophobia.
The imported films that had decent ratings in Korea were basically well-produced documentaries and historical films.
SPG Entertainment was a large artist planning and management company in South Korea. It was one of the top three companies in the industry in terms of scale and strength. It had promoted its HOP, SC, and other groups to China and had many master-level songwriters and choreographers.
Speaking of SPG Entertainment, there was no one in the domestic entertainment industry who did not know of it. Its representative in China actually came to visit in person, wanting to buy the copyright of "Autumn in My Heart". If the news got out, it would not be a problem for it to make the entertainment headlines!
Returning to Japan and Korea was the dream of many people in the industry.
When Lu Chen first created "Autumn in My Heart", he had considered the possibility of the series being exported to Korea in advance. That was because in his dream world, the original "Autumn" was one of the most classic Korean dramas.
That was why he did not even change the names of the characters in the series, and that was the hidden ambition.
He did not talk about principles, nor did he talk about winning glory for the country. If "Autumn in My Heart" could enter the Korean market, then he could use this springboard to export it to Japan, and then enter the Southeast Asian market!
In other words, the Korean market was the best touchstone. Once it was successful, it would represent vast benefits.
Therefore, when he heard this news, Lu Chen was really happy.
SPG, KG, and Han Yi, the three major Korean entertainment companies, all had offices in Beijing. SPG Entertainment was the first to come knocking. If it did not come, then Lu Chen could only consider using Chen Fei 'er's connections to contact Korea's KGS TV Station.
But in this way, he would be in a passive position in the negotiations.
Asking for help and being asked were two completely different things.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "I have already made an appointment with them. They will come over at 9: 30 tomorrow morning."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Let's talk about it."
After dinner, Lu Chen sent Lu Xi back to her place, and then returned to his apartment.
He called Chen Fei 'er.
Chen Fei 'er was one of the few celebrities in China who had a certain level of fame and influence in Korea. She had participated in many Sino-Korean music festivals organized by KGS TV Station, and knew a lot about the situation there.
As expected, when Lu Chen mentioned SPG, Chen Fei 'er immediately smiled and said, "I know. SPG's representative in China is Park Jung-ho. He has been in China for almost ten years, and is a real China expert!"
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What's his personality like?"
Tomorrow's meeting would definitely involve specific negotiations. Although he really hoped to be able to broadcast "Autumn in My Heart" in Korea, he would not sign a contract that could only be described as "humiliating".
In the past, in order to promote their works in Japan and Korea, the contracts they signed were almost free, and they even proudly promoted their works in foreign markets. In the end, it was exposed, and they lost face.
"Autumn in My Heart" had to be sold, and not sold cheaply!
Chen Fei 'er said, "I have dealt with him a few times, and I have heard some things. This Park representative is very familiar with the situation in our country. He has a strong personality, and he can stand his ground and not waver …"
After listening to Chen Fei 'er's description, Lu Chen felt a little troubled — that person was obviously not an easy person to negotiate with.
Chen Fei 'er said again, "Park Jung-ho has a very good eye, otherwise he wouldn't have been in this position for so many years. Since he has his eyes on our TV series, we can still negotiate."
"Good luck, young man!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. He put aside the topic and continued to talk sweet words to Chen Fei 'er for more than ten minutes.
In the end, Chen Fei 'er was so moved that she almost ran over.
