"My Fei is mighty!"
"This is a blatant display of affection, but I like it!"
"That's right, I knew it would be a public display of affection after their relationship was made public. The days of dog abuse have arrived."
"I'm thinking very seriously. What if I get a double date but don't have a girlfriend?"
"If you don't have a girlfriend, you can find a gay friend!"
"My Fei is indeed domineering, and your Chen is not bad either. Us fans are blessed!"
"Everyone, go to SPG's official website and ask them to send 'Autumn in My Heart' to the airwaves as soon as possible!"
"Support my Chen, support my Fei …"
Ever since Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er's relationship was officially exposed, the fans had changed the way they addressed them.
Lu Chen's fans liked to call him "my Chen" and Chen Fei 'er "your Fei". On the other hand, Chen Fei' er's fans called him "my Fei" and "your Chen". As for the two's common fans, they naturally called them "my Chen" and "my Fei".
Currently, the number of common fans was increasing, and it was naturally very refreshing to see the two of them showing off their affection.
Especially this time, the show of affection had caught everyone off guard. While everyone was feeling touched, they also went to SPG's official website and strongly requested SPG to send "Blue" to the Korean television station as soon as possible to broadcast it.
Due to the limited number, domestic TV series that wanted to be broadcast in Korea were all handled by an entertainment agency like SPG. The latter had a long-term relationship with the three major Korean TV stations.
SPG spent 1 billion won to import "Autumn in My Heart". Although they had the intention of using Lu Chen Studio to speed up the expansion of the China market, they were also very willing to recoup their costs.
Coupled with the strong request of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er's fans, SPG immediately said that they would contact the Korean TV stations as soon as possible and strive to broadcast it on one of the three major TV stations as soon as possible.
In order to shorten the time, SPG used an unconventional method for "Autumn in My Heart". They did not re-dub it, but added bilingual subtitles on the basis of the original to save costs and ensure the original taste of the work.
Of course, doing so might make some Korean audiences uncomfortable, but SPG's positioning was very clear. This imported drama was targeted at young people, and they were the most receptive to foreign films with subtitles.
Therefore, on the third day after the agency contract was signed, the high-definition source of "Autumn in My Heart" was sent by air to SPG's headquarters in Seoul's Gangnam district. On the one hand, they would redo the subtitles, and on the other hand, they would contact the three major TV stations.
Even though SPG had done a lot of work on "Autumn in My Heart," they still felt that it was wishful thinking for "Autumn in My Heart" to achieve 10% viewership ratings in Korea.
Domestic urban youth idol films were greatly influenced by Korean dramas. The return of similar series to Korea was basically a failure. No matter how popular "Autumn in My Heart" was in China, it had no impact on Korean television viewers.
Furthermore, the Korean TV audience was very supportive of Korean dramas. Even if "Autumn in My Heart" could be broadcasted in primetime, it would be considered a success if it could achieve 5% of the viewership ratings.
South Korea's TV series market is like a rock, and it can't be easily shaken.
…
Early spring in Seoul was still very cold, but in the commercial areas such as Myeongdong, Sinsadong, Lotte, and so on, the beautiful women on the streets couldn't wait to put on their spring clothes, adding countless bright colors to this big East Asian city.
Song Jiayi walked out of the entrance of SPG's headquarters in Gangnam district. She didn't linger around the bustling commercial area. She ignored the brightly lit shops nearby and hurriedly turned to the dormitory building not far from SPG.
When she arrived at her room, her roommates weren't back yet. Song Jiayi took out a cup of noodles from the cabinet and boiled some water.
While waiting for the noodles to boil, she sat on the edge of the bed and massaged her calves to relieve the muscle soreness caused by a day of training.
Song Jiayi had been in Korea for almost two years.
As a Chinese artist signed with SPG, she was undoubtedly lucky to be able to go to SPG's headquarters as a trainee to undergo strict training and receive all kinds of training.
However, two years of boring and arduous training had also worn away Song Jiayi's initial excitement and excitement, leaving only perseverance and confusion about the unknown future.
After coming to Korea, she found out that there were many trainees under SPG, and there were many who were better than her. Even the opportunity to debut was not easy to come by, and the internal competition was very cruel.
As a trainee who hadn't debuted yet, Song Jiayi had almost no source of income. In Seoul, where the expenses were high, she lived a very hard life. It was completely based on her unyielding spirit to persevere.
The cup of noodles was ready. Although she had long hated the taste, she still forced herself to finish it.
"Jiayi!"
Song Jiayi had just cleaned up the empty cup and was about to lie on the bed to rest when a few roommates pushed the door open and entered.
There were four trainees living in this small room. The short-haired girl who greeted Song Jiayi was called Yang Yanni. She was also from China, two months later than her, and also hadn't debuted yet.
Both of them had a good relationship in a foreign country, and they encouraged and supported each other.
Song Jiayi turned over and asked, "Where did you guys go?"
Yang Yanni smiled and said, "We went to the amusement park."
Song Jiayi noticed that she and the other two Korean roommates were carrying shopping bags in their hands.
Yang Yanni's family was much better off than Song Jiayi's, and she was usually very willing to spend money on shopping.
Song Jiayi was a little envious and said, "I'm dead tired …"
Yang Yanni put down the shopping bags and reached out to pull Song Jiayi up. "Let's go watch TV!"
Song Jiayi shook her head. "I'm not going."
SPG's management was very strict. If you wanted to watch TV or surf the Internet, you had to go to the multimedia room and computer room on the second floor of the dormitory building. There was no Internet cable or TV cable in the room, and of course, there was no TV.
Yang Yanni opened her eyes wide and said, "Don't you know? The very popular domestic drama 'Autumn in My Heart' is broadcasting on KGS tonight. This drama was brought in by our agency, SPG! "
'Autumn in My Heart'?
Song Jiayi was stunned. She had heard of this drama, and also knew that SPG had brought it to Korea.
She just didn't expect it to be broadcasted so soon!
Song Jiayi suddenly felt a little excited. This was a drama from China. Even if it wasn't for her studies, she had to support it, right?
"What time is it broadcasting?"
Yang Yanni looked at her watch. "There's still half an hour left!"
She turned her head and asked her two roommates in Korean, "Meizhen, Huiying, are you guys coming?"
The two Korean roommates knew a little Chinese, and roughly understood what Yang Yanni and Song Jiayi were talking about. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
What was so good about China's dramas?
