Chapter 462: Old Tang Receives Second Child: Kingdom Released in China
Outside the delivery room, Tang Zhengyang walked back and forth.
Tang Zhengyang has experienced many ups and downs over the years. But today, he is particularly worried. It is still very dangerous for Tang's mother to have a second child at this age. This is no longer an older mother, but an elderly mother.
Tang Zhengyang wanted to go straight to the operating room for surgery, but the doctor said the fetal position was better and recommended a natural birth, which would be better for both the baby and the mother. After all, if Tang's mother had surgery at this age, it would be quite painful.
Tang Qing was also very worried, while Qin Shuyao and Su Yang were also waiting outside the delivery room.
Time passed little by little, and Tang Zhengyang felt that the days were passing by so slowly.
“Click…”
I don’t know how long it was before the door of the delivery room suddenly opened.
"Congratulations, both mother and child are in good health. The baby weighs 6.4 jin (14.3 catties). Who is the father? You can go in now. The mother and child will need to be observed for two hours before they can come out..."
The doctor said this with a smile, and this sentence made everyone feel relieved.
"I have a son..."
Tang Zhengyang's smile was brilliant. He then followed the doctor into the delivery room. After changing into clean protective clothing, Tang Zhengyang finally saw Mother Tang and his son in the observation room.
"Old Tang..."
Mother Tang looked very weak, but there was a smile on her face.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work..."
Tang Zhengyang came to his wife and gently touched her forehead, a smile on his face. Then he looked at his son, who had just been born and looked very ugly, like a black monkey.
“It’s so ugly…”
Tang Zhengyang couldn't help but complain, but Tang Zhengyang also knew that all babies are like this when they are born, and they will be fine after a few days of growth.
Outside the delivery room, Tang Qing was also very happy.
Having a younger brother is a strange feeling. Being a sister at my age is so interesting. Tang Qing is wealthy now, unlike her family, so she's not afraid of her younger brother taking advantage of her in the future.
"Now, the four little guys have a little uncle."
Su Yang said jokingly, which made Tang Qing laugh. Yes, uncle, although the little guy is young, he can't stand the seniority.
Take the Tang family for example. Some of the children of my cousins are already in college. But when they see the little ones, they still call them uncles.
Good news came, and two hours later, both Tang's mother and the child were pushed out.
The ward is a separate ward where you can not only stay in the hospital but also stay in the hospital after childbirth. As long as you have money, it is a god-like service.
“So cute…”
Tang Qing looked at her brother. The little guy had already been bathed by the nurse and looked clean. Although he hadn't grown up yet, children were always cute.
Tang's mother lay on the bed, her face full of tenderness as she looked at her son. Tang Zhengyang's smile never stopped.
It wasn't until noon that Tang Qing and the others left, and Tang Zhengyang continued to stay in the hospital. As for how to take care of Tang's mother and child, there was no need to worry about that.
This hospital has dedicated staff to take care of the child and the new mother. For the next month, there's no need for anyone to worry about anything. The care is better than at a postpartum care center, though of course, it's more expensive. But this little money is nothing to the Tang family. Tang Qing, a wealthy woman, had already purchased the most expensive service.
"Kingdom has passed the review and will be released domestically tonight."
After dinner, Tang Qing returned to the company and received good news. The TV series "Kingdom" had passed the domestic review and was exclusively released by the giant Penguin.
This drama cannot be broadcasted in China as freely as other dramas produced by Qingyao Media. However, Penguin paid a considerable price for exclusively introducing this drama.
In addition to the profit-sharing model, the exclusive broadcast fee was also very high. Now everyone with a discerning eye knows that "Kingdom" is a sure-win business in China.
To attract viewers to Kingdom, Penguin even offered a guaranteed minimum of 40 million paid on-demand views in China. In other words, if Kingdom doesn't reach 40 million paid on-demand views in China, Penguin will settle the bill based on 40 million views.
This is quite bold, but "Kingdom" is so popular abroad now, and with Su Yang's influence in China, this standard should not be difficult.
"Kingdom" is now very popular on the Internet, with 42 million paid on-demand viewers worldwide, and the topic is also very hot.
Huge profit, the drama Kingdom is destined to make huge money.
The total investment in this drama is only 100 million RMB, but the paid on-demand data on Netflix is as high as 302 million US dollars.
The pay-per-view alone can generate huge profits, not to mention the entire IP market driven by this TV series. The popularity of Kingdom also made the actors in it famous.
Zhu Zhixun became an overnight sensation and has been very popular in Korea these days.
But the highest one is still Lim Jin Young. As the captain of the MENG girl group and now the leading actress of "Kingdom", Lim Jin Young's performance in this TV series conquered many people and also made Lim Jin Young's fame soar again, especially in South Korea. Lim Jin Young is really the national goddess these days.
"By the way, we've received quite a few cooperation requests from Korean entertainment companies in the past two days."
Tang Qing looked at Su Yang and said with a smile, which made Su Yang laugh.
Korean entertainment companies took the initiative to approach him for cooperation, which had never happened before. After all, Su Yang's reputation in Korea was really bad, and these entertainment companies were also afraid of being boycotted by the Korean people because of the cooperation.
However, the popularity of "Kingdom" has attracted many entertainment companies. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. As long as they can make money, they don't worry about boycotts.
"Why not open a Korean branch to test the waters?"
Tang Qing suggested that she knew the Korean market was Su Yang's key market. South Korea's entertainment industry was also quite large, and if Qingyao Media could open a branch in South Korea, it could definitely grab a piece of the pie there.
"We can try, but we can't eat alone. We must find a strong partner, otherwise we won't be able to survive in Korea."
Su Yang said directly, and Tang Qing nodded in agreement. If Qingyao Media's Korean branch wants to grow, it must find a strong partner.
This partner must have great influence in South Korea. Only in this way can Qingyao Media's Korean branch grow stronger. Otherwise, given the Korean environment, the chaebols and the three major entertainment giants are definitely capable of making it difficult for Qingyao Media's Korean branch to move forward.
"You can try to bring Netflix in and ask South Korea's newly crowned richest man."
Tang Qing bluntly stated that Netflix was an American giant, and the US was the father of South Korea. In South Korea, American companies were practically dominant, especially giants like Netflix.
The new richest man in South Korea is not a chaebol, but the controller of South Korea’s largest social platform. He is considered a new big boss.
As an internet company, content is also very important. If we can bring him in, then the deal will be done. Not only will we have a backer, but we will also have channels.
And everyone gets what they need. Netflix can get the works of Qingyao Media. Social platforms can also get the works of Qingyao Media, and even a lot of exclusive things about Su Yang.
The Korean market is not just about short series like "Kingdom." Traditional Korean-style K-dramas might not be popular on Netflix, but they're not necessarily doing poorly in the Korean market. And it's not just TV series; there are also movies, variety shows, and more.
"Then give it a try."
Su Yang nodded.
"I'm going to Korea in person in a couple of days. I'll spend the next two days preparing the copywriting..."
Tang Qing spoke seriously, her heart full of fighting spirit. She was also looking forward to conquering the Korean market. After all, the Korean market had been badly ripped off by Su Yang. It would be fun if Qingyao Media finally conquered it after such a bad rip-off.
"We can give up some of our profits, but the management of the company must be in our own hands."
Su Yang said seriously, and Tang Qing nodded. If Su Yang hadn't said this, Tang Qing wouldn't have let them interfere with the company's management.
Judging from the development trends of Qingyao Media, the Korean branch will definitely be inseparable from Su Yang's talents in the future. By then, most investments will be made by one person, so no matter who participates, they can only get dividends but cannot participate in the management of the company.
To gain support, they might even offer them shares for free. However, Qingyao Media must maintain absolute control and hold at least 50% of the shares. As Qingyao Media's Korean subsidiary, if things go well, a direct listing in South Korea is not ruled out.
In Su Yang's office, he turned on his computer and began to write a plan. If the Korean branch could be opened, then the subsequent development would need to be adjusted.
Originally, Su Yang planned to use the Thai branch as a platform, but with the Korean branch, it became clear that Korean dramas and other productions would be best served in Korea. The Korean market is larger than the Thai market, but this doesn't mean the Thai branch should give up. They can continue to pursue a local strategy, focusing on Thailand or Southeast Asia.
Night fell unnoticed, and many netizens checked the time to enter Penguin. Because the quirky Korean drama "Kingdom" was about to be released on Penguin, many Chinese netizens were curious about whether this Korean drama, which had achieved incredible success on Netflix, was good.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, "Kingdom" was officially launched on Penguin.
Just like the online streaming model, the first two episodes are free, and the next ten episodes are available as a paid on-demand package. However, the price is cheaper than overseas, with the entire series only costing 20 yuan. If you are a Penguin member, you can buy the entire series for only 18 yuan.
Twenty yuan is a lot cheaper than online prices. It's also perfectly acceptable to Chinese consumers. The domestic paid streaming market is already well established, and as long as the content is good, the audience will buy it.
"Kingdom" was officially released in the country, and a storm was set off again!
