KBS was the largest television station in South Korea and had the largest market share in South Korea. There were many countries in Southeast Asia that would broadcast KBS's programs. In terms of power, it far surpassed Chenfei Media's partner, KGS, which was ranked last among the three major television stations in South Korea.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er were surprised. KBS and KGS had a strong competitive relationship. Why would they suddenly invite the two of them?
KBS had once sought the broadcasting rights of "You from the Star" in South Korea, but was rejected by Chenfei Media and continued to cooperate with KGS.
The reason was actually very simple. KGS was the most sincere partner, and the people of KBS always had a sense of arrogance, which made Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er feel disgusted.
The rejection last time was already a slap in the face. Could it be that KBS was satisfied with the slap and wanted to be abused again?
Lu Xi smiled and explained to the two's confusion, "It's the request of KBS's major shareholder …"
This major shareholder that KBS couldn't compete with was the famous Dajing Group in South Korea.
South Korea was a country ruled by aristocrats, and the political and economic aspects were largely controlled by the five major financial groups. The government had always spared no effort to support the financial groups, which gave them a special status in South Korea.
Among the five major financial groups, the most famous and powerful was undoubtedly the Samsung Group. Its business scope covered trade, electronics, shipbuilding, construction, petrochemical, sugar, textile, chemical fiber, paper, finance, service industry, and many other fields. It had a certain amount of influence in the world.
Although the Dajing Group wasn't as large as the Samsung Group, it had a longer history. So far, it had a total of 58 subsidiaries and more than 100,000 employees. It was very strong in finance, international trade, machinery, media, service industry, and so on.
The Dajing Group was the second largest shareholder of KBS and the third largest shareholder of KGS!
The reason why KBS invited Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er to the program was because KBS had a new celebrity show host, Song Jiazhen, who was pursuing one of the heirs of the Dajing Group, Liu Chengxian!
Lu Xi explained for several minutes before Lu Chen finally figured out the relationship.
To put it simply, Liu Chengxian, who is the heir to the Dajing Consortium, came forward to put pressure on KBS in order to pursue Song Jiazhen and asked the latter to invite Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er to participate in Song Jiazhen's show.
"This program is called 'New Celebrity Show' …"
The information Lu Xi had obtained through SPG was very comprehensive. "It's mainly about inviting popular stars in the entertainment industry to interact with the audience, chat, sing, play games, and so on. The format of the program is not very unique, and the ratings are not high. The average is only about 3%."
With an average viewership rating of 3%, it would definitely be a popular trump card in China. But in Korea, especially in KBS, it was really a little bad. It was a fringe program that wasn't worth paying attention to.
Chen Fei 'er furrowed his brows and said, "Boring. Just reject him …"
Lu Chen agreed. "Let's just tell KBS that we can't make time."
First of all, they really didn't have any free time. Actually, he didn't like the inside story behind KBS's invitation.
So the two of them were Liu Chengxian's tools to chase girls?
Lu Xi frowned. "If we offend the Dajing Consortium … Alright, since you two have the same opinion, then I'll tell KBS that I can't make time."
Offending the Dajing Consortium, which had a say in the Korean media industry, was indeed not beneficial to Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er's expansion in the Korean market. But so what?
As long as they had a firm hold on the domestic market, there was no end to the money. The two of them didn't need to make things difficult for themselves!
Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Xi rubbed her brows and said, "Then that's it. Lu Chen, don't forget to go to the fan meeting tonight early. Fei'er, let's have dinner together."
Chen Fei'er smiled and said, "Okay, after dinner, let's go to the Yan Sha area. Chanel just released a new product …"
The two women began to discuss heatedly.
The style changed so quickly that Lu Chen could only sigh helplessly and leave alone with his tail between his legs.
Today, his work schedule was full. In the morning, he met with Chen Guozhi to discuss. In the afternoon, he recorded Chen Fei'er's new song. In the evening, there was a fan meeting organized by [Whale TV] for Lu Chen.
The theme of this fan meeting was called "Memories of the First Touching". The location was the main venue of the Meile Cultural Center in Beijing. The starting time was 7 pm.
[Whale TV] had been preparing for this fan meeting for a long time. As a company headquartered in the deep sea, [Whale TV] specially rented an office in Beijing and sent elite personnel to make overall arrangements. The standard could be said to be extremely high.
The reason why they didn't open it in the deep sea was entirely to make it convenient for Lu Chen.
For today's [Whale TV], Lu Chen was definitely a star sign that they couldn't lose. He was a spokesperson that they were willing to pay any price to keep.
In the past few years after Lu Chen signed with [Whale TV], [Whale TV] had a chance to take off again. Not only did it regain the market share that it had lost before, but it also created a new model of star live broadcasting, making a lot of money ahead of all its peers.
As Lu Chen's influence in the entertainment circle grew, [Whale TV] had become one of the best live broadcasting platforms in the industry. In turn, it attracted more and more excellent anchors to join, forming a virtuous cycle.
In fact, by now, [Whale TV] had little effect on Lu Chen. The time that he personally participated in the live broadcast was also very little. Most of the time, it was live broadcast arranged by the company. Leaving [Whale TV] wouldn't be much of a loss for him.
Moreover, there were other live broadcasting platforms that offered a higher price tag, and even used shares to invite him to jump ship.
However, Lu Chen declined those invitations and chose to renew his contract with [Whale TV] because he didn't forget his original promise to his fans.
That's why there was this "Memory of the First Touched" fan meeting!
When Lu Chen arrived at Meile Cultural Center, people from [Whale TV] were already waiting there.
"Manager Wu, Miss Wu …"
Lu Chen got out of the car and saw two acquaintances first. He smiled and greeted, "Long time no see!"
It's really been a long time!
Wu Hongming, who was now the deputy general manager of [Whale TV], and Wu Shanshan, who had just been promoted, were the two representatives that [Whale TV] had sent to Beijing to sign the first contract with Lu Chen.
It was also Wu Shanshan who dug out Lu Chen from many anchors and gave him a pretty good contract!
