Chapter 399: Unexpected Visitors: Netflix’s Olive Branch
In Bangkok, Thailand, in December, the weather in Beijing has already turned extremely cold, but here it is the most comfortable season of the year.
It was very lively inside a large villa owned by Qingyao Media.
Qin Shuyao came here with her children and her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Originally, Qin Shuyao wanted to invite Zhang's mother and others to come as well. However, Zhang's mother thought it was too much trouble. It would be too much trouble for such a large group of people to go to Thailand.
The villa is huge, with two floors covering thousands of square meters and a huge courtyard. In the swimming pool in the courtyard, four children are swimming happily, looking very happy.
"Qingqing, come, swim over here..."
Su Yang was also soaking in the swimming pool in his swimsuit, clapping his hands and shouting to Su Yunqing.
Su Yang gave the four childish names, which made Qin Shuyao nag for a long time. This bastard named the children directly after the Four Heavenly Kings.
The eldest is Su Yunqing, the second is Su Yunhai, the third is Su Yunhong, and the fourth is Su Yunshou. "Yun" is the generation number, and three characters are popular nowadays, so Su Yang just added the generation number.
Actually, Su Yang also has a generational structure. In the village, Su Yang is of the Tianzi generation. According to the formal way of addressing him, he should be called Su Tianyang. However, when it comes to Su Yang's generation, many people are lazy and just call him by his two characters.
The four children are now very fun to play with. They can walk steadily and have good language expression skills. They are usually very fun to play with.
At Su Yang's call, Su Yunqing swam hard in the water, which was very fun. Qin Shuyao sat beside the swimming pool, watching this scene with a smile on her face.
Operation Mekong officially wrapped filming a few days ago and entered post-production. Su Yang didn't need to worry too much about post-production, as Bayi Film Studio had sufficient experience and expertise.
However, Operation Mekong wasn't scheduled to air during the Spring Festival. After all, the post-production was complete, and the Spring Festival period was already very close. More importantly, Qingyao Media already had a film scheduled for the Spring Festival, and Su Yang didn't want the two films competing against each other.
As for the specific release date, Bayi Film Studio is leaning towards next year's summer vacation. The quality of this work is very good, and Bayi Film Studio naturally hopes for a good performance.
Su Yang also decided to respect the proposal of Bayi Studio and let them decide when to release the film. After all, he had completed his task, so it didn't matter whether the film was released a day earlier or later.
After being busy for such a long time, Su Yang also prepared to take a simple break and enjoy life. Making money is important, but enjoying life is more important.
“Ding Dong…”
The doorbell of the villa suddenly rang. After hearing the sound, Su Yang picked up the eldest child and came out of the swimming pool. He handed the eldest child to Qin Shuyao. Qin Shuyao smiled slightly and walked directly into the house with the child in her arms.
Su Yang nodded to Zhao Qiang, who was acting as his driver and bodyguard, and walked towards the door. However, Su Yang turned and went into the villa to change his clothes.
"Hello……"
The door of the villa opened, and a man in a suit and carrying a briefcase stood outside.
Zhao Qiang glanced at him and took him directly into the villa and finally to the reception room.
"Please wait..."
Zhao Qiang said, Jin Yongmin nodded and sat down, looking at the villa curiously with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Kim Young-min is a man of some distinction. As Netflix's head of East Asia, he's quite famous in the industry.
The market that Kim Young-min is responsible for is even larger, including South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries.
Jin Yongmin also knew Su Yang very well. As a Korean, the name Su Yang was too sensitive.
"Sorry, Mr. Jin, I kept you waiting."
A few minutes later, Su Yang came out, wearing a loose T-shirt, large shorts, and slippers, looking very homely. He was wiping his hair with a towel, and after wiping it, he handed it to Zhao Qiang, nodded, and Zhao Qiang left the room, closing the door.
"Mr. Su, you're welcome."
Jin Yongmin said with a smile, Su Yang smiled slightly and sat down directly.
"Our President Tang has already explained the situation to me. From both the company's and my personal perspective, I am willing to cooperate with Netflix. However, President Jin, my reputation in Korea is not very good. Once we reach a cooperation, are you sure it won't cause a boycott?"
Su Yang spoke to Jin Yongmin in fluent Korean. This language ability made Jin Yongmin very comfortable. At least he no longer had to communicate in English. As a Korean, Jin Yongmin still liked to talk to others in Korean.
Su Yang's words made Jin Yongmin laugh.
"Mr. Su, you may not be fully aware of the situation in South Korea right now. Regarding you, the attitude in South Korea has changed significantly. Besides, even if they boycott, Netflix won't suffer much. After all, we are an American company."
Jin Yongmin said proudly. Netflix, an American giant.
Netflix is a very strong player in South Korea. As the leading streaming platform in South Korea and a US giant, Netflix has its own pride. To put it bluntly, even if Netflix violates some regulations in the South Korean market, as long as it does not cause a major stir, South Korea will turn a blind eye.
"In that case, cooperation is naturally no problem. This is a win-win situation..."
Su Yang laughed. Netflix had extended an olive branch. This was something Su Yang had not anticipated. Yesterday, Netflix suddenly contacted Tang Qing and briefly explained the situation.
Jin Yongmin came to Thailand in person today. Although Tang Qing is the president, Netflix is attracted by Su Yang's talent.
In recent years, Netflix has increased its investment in Asia. Su Yang's demonstrated talent has impressed Netflix. Coupled with Su Yang's international fame, Netflix was eager to invest in him. After all, Netflix has competitors, and Disney is also expanding rapidly.
Betting, Netflix is now betting. Besides, collaborating with Su Yang doesn't cost Netflix too much. Qingyao Media has the money to film the work. Su Yang is so famous in China now that even if Qingyao Media is unwilling to pay, there are many people willing to invest in Su Yang's new work.
In the room, Su Yang and Jin Yongmin chatted happily.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Although Jin Yongmin is Korean, he has no hostility towards Su Yang. If Su Yang's work can improve the performance of the area he is responsible for, Jin Yongmin will worship Su Yang as his grandfather.
As for the boycotts in South Korea, Kim Young-min simply sneered. This kind of boycott is perfectly normal; those with nothing better to do often boycott this and that, but nothing seems to come of it.
Even after the Dream Era scandal, Su Yang is still active in Korea. The show "Korean Trainee" has really hurt the Korean haters.
The MENG girl group is currently quite famous in South Korea, boasting a large number of both devoted and hated fans. However, the authorities still haven't dared to mention a ban, driven by profit. Both Su Yang and MENG have brought enormous profits to certain capitalists, and for their own sake, they're reluctant to ban them.
The negotiations were pleasant and the two sides talked for more than an hour before Kim Young-min left.
"How did the talk go?"
Qin Shuyao came to Su Yang and asked with concern.
"That's great. It's also an opportunity for us. By boarding the online platform, as long as our work is good enough, we can open up overseas markets. No matter how successful you are in China, it's not a real skill. The real skill is to make money from foreigners."
Su Yang's words made Qin Shuyao laugh. Qin Shuyao half agreed with this view. Earning money from foreigners is a real skill, but being able to make money in China is also a real skill.
"So, you are going to Korea to film a Korean drama?"
Qin Shuyao asked with some concern.
"Why do we have to go to Korea? Can't we film Korean dramas if we're not in Korea? We can film in China. As long as we speak Korean, it's still a Korean drama. I won't be going to Korea in the short term, but Korean actors can come out. I think filming in China or even Thailand is pretty good..."
Su Yang said with a smile, which made Qin Shuyao happy.
"You're such a troublemaker. It's better if you don't go to Korea. I'd be worried about your safety if you went."
Qin Shuyao said worriedly. Looking at Qin Shuyao's appearance, Su Yang's heart moved, and then he bent down and picked up Qin Shuyao.
"What are you doing in broad daylight?"
Qin Shuyao quickly whispered, but with a blush on her face.
"Hey, it's okay, my parents thought we were talking about something."
Su Yang had a wicked smile on his face and carried Qin Shuyao directly into the study next to the living room. This study was Su Yang's study, and usually no one would come to disturb him.
Looking at Su Yang's beautiful body lines, Qin Shuyao's eyes were blurred.
Now, both of them are in their prime, which is a perfect match.
After a few days of rest in Thailand, Su Yang started working again. However, this time he was not as busy as he was on Operation Mekong.
Inside a university in Thailand, the university is very lively today.
Because Su Yang is coming here today to audition actors for his new movie, this matter has been discussed for several days. Many of these college students are very familiar with Su Yang.
After all, "Baby" and "Gangnam Style" were also popular in Thailand. At the same time, many of Su Yang's songs are also popular in Thailand.
When DreamTimes went bankrupt, young Thais were also very happy to watch the show. Although Su Yang had never been to Thailand, there were legends about him in Thailand and he even had fans.
In the past few days, many people have dug up all of Su Yang's deeds. In just three years, what Su Yang accomplished was simply legendary.
Several of the variety shows he planned were huge hits in China, and the TV series he filmed were even more popular. His movies were also dark horses, with incredibly high box office sales.
In just three years, Su Yang has earned more than 15 billion baht on his own. This figure makes countless students sigh, it's too legendary. Most importantly, Su Yang is young, only 25 years old this year, not much older than himself, and very handsome. Such a legendary person is going to shoot a movie in Thailand this time, and he is also coming to his school to select actors. How can everyone not be excited?
