Peninsula Asteroid

"That's not bad. If you are a double luxury spokesperson, it's quite impressive~"

When Chi Jingxu heard this, he looked at his brother up and down with surprised eyes.

When Chi Jingyuan chose to debut as an idol in a boy band, even though they had family filters, they felt that Chi Jingyuan could only do well in this peninsula with the help of his family. I didn't think he could make a splash overseas.

Forget it on the peninsula, it really doesn't matter if their family is in Europe, especially in the fashion circle. Being so sought after by these luxury goods is only the result of Chi Jingyuan's own efforts.

And Chi Xianjing also looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled happily.

Ji Xianjing still looks down on idols, and she usually doesn’t pay much attention to Peninsula’s entertainment industry. She is most familiar with Ji Jingyuan’s work, and the one she is most familiar with is GUCCI’s Asia-Pacific spokesperson title.

Others are too lazy to understand, but at least they understand luxury goods.

Although they were not excited or anything, they were still very happy to see their brother achieve such an achievement.

"I happen to be going to the Fashion Week in a few days. Let's have a meal together then..."

Chi Xianjing and Chi Jingyuan made an appointment for the next few days, and then looked at Chi Jingxu: "Are you going?"

She is a VIP guest of several luxury brands here in Peninsula, and every time there is a big show, the brand will take the initiative to send invitations.

"I won't go..."

Chi Jingxu waved his hand, he was not interested at all.

If you have this time, why not invite some good buddies to visit the club.

But just when he had this idea, he noticed that Chi Jingyuan opposite him glanced at him at the right time. The look in his eyes seemed to see through his thoughts. Chi Jingxu didn't feel embarrassed at all, but faced him. The younger brother raised his eyebrows, as if to celebrate that the two of them had a good understanding.

After chatting for a while, the topic was deliberately led by Chi Jingxu, and the subject of Chi Jingyuan's relationship came up.

He looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, how long have you been dating that neon girlfriend of yours now? It's not that short, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Chi Xianjing also looked up.

Because although they are usually too busy and don't see each other much, they actually care about Chi Jingyuan.

However, Chi Jingyuan has done well in his career and has graduated from school. They also understand Chi Jingyuan's living habits, and he usually keeps a low profile.

Then I can only care about my love life... Even if there is nothing to care about, listening to stories can relieve boredom.

"Um……"

Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him at first, but when he saw the eldest sister's curious eyes, he could only ponder for a moment and said, "It's been more than half a year."

It’s easy to remember the time when he and Minami dated. The Summer Fireworks Festival on August 15th was a very special and meaningful day.

However, Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised when he said it...More than half a year had passed before he knew it. He didn't even feel that time passed so fast.

"It's been so long? It doesn't fit your personality very well. Didn't you always get tired of dating girls after two or three months before changing them? It's actually been so long this time?"

Chi Jingxu was immediately surprised when he heard that it had been more than half a year: "Last time I heard from Noona that you brought the girl home? This is rare, it won't..."

He looked at his brother who seemed to have changed strangely, and asked tentatively: "You don't... really like it, do you?"

Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyes, and when he was about to say something, Chi Jingxu asked himself again and continued: "It doesn't look like it... I searched for photos before, and they don't look that beautiful..."

"Could it be..." As he said that, he looked over with a bit of joking: "Could it be that something happened and you can't get rid of it?"

Before Chi Jingyuan could get angry, he shook his head again: "It shouldn't be~...Nuna, you have seen that girl, how do you feel??"

Chi Jingxu was obviously interested in the girl who had been dating his younger brother for more than half a year, so he immediately looked at his eldest sister and asked.

"Did you say Mina xi?"

Chi Xianjing gently wiped her mouth with a tissue and ended her meal. After thinking about it, she calmly commented: "The family is actually quite good, and the child who was influenced by it is also very well-educated. He is quite temperamental. Very well behaved too.”

Chi Jingyuan was slightly surprised by the eldest sister's evaluation... She originally thought that the awkward meeting last time would give her a bad impression of Mingjing Nan, but she didn't expect the evaluation to be so high.

Also, Ming Jingnan comes from a good family, and her father is a medical professor. She can be considered a combination of a wealthy family and a scholarly family. Although it is far inferior to his family, girls from this background are most attracted to the concept of eldest sister. Slightly older, well-established chaebol appetite.

"and……"

She glanced at Chi Jingyuan, "And it can be seen that the girl has no temper at all because of this boy Jingyuan, and all her thoughts are tied to him."

"pity……"

After saying that, the eldest sister thought of something else and shook her head: "If it's not a career, I think that child is really suitable for marriage."

Forehead……

Why did you suddenly mention getting married?

After hearing the last comment, Chi Jingyuan shook his head helplessly.

It wasn't that he had really thought about marrying Najing Nan, but he was a little helpless at the contempt for his career that Nu Na had inadvertently revealed.

"Hey, the evaluation is quite high? Then I'm really interested in meeting you."

When Chi Jingxu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chi Jingyuan with interest, "No wonder you were able to date for so long this time. I thought you had changed your gender..."

Regardless of the impatient look Chi Jingyuan looked at, he continued: "But neon women are indeed a little different from peninsula women. Although they sometimes seem a little boring, the smell of resignation in them is indeed Making a man feel like he is an emperor is very enjoyable, even reluctant.”

"I'm telling you..." He blinked at Chi Jingyuan, and moved closer as if to suggest something: "Don't look at how strong those neon women pretend to be on the outside, but in fact most of them have a weak temperament inside. Yes, this is the nature formed by the social atmosphere and form... As long as she really likes you, if you are more forceful, she can tolerate it even if you have other girlfriends. This kind of girl is the most suitable..."

He commented on the character of the neon girl from a high position, with a very experienced look, and it seemed that he had been friends with at least two digits of neon girls.

However, after Chi Jingyuan heard him arguing for a long time, he couldn't bear it any longer. He frowned and looked over: "Return to the emperor... If you think it's okay, stay together. If you think it's boring, then separate. Just let nature take its course. What are you worrying about there?"

"hehe."

Seeing that her brother was finally a little annoyed, Chi Xianjing couldn't help but laugh: "Do you know why he always wants to talk to you about this?"

The eldest sister covered her mouth with her hands and broke the news to Chi Jingyuan as if revealing a secret: "Because my parents are urging him to get married recently. I heard they are quite tough..."

Chi Jingyuan suddenly realized.

He said why did he bring up the topic of marriage...

As soon as he heard this, Chi Jingyuan's mood improved instantly, and he looked at Chi Jingxu with a smile. The second brother's indifference and provocation just now seemed to disappear. Feeling Chi Jingyuan's smile, he suddenly became It became boring.

"Congratulations, congratulations~" Chi Jingyuan bowed his hands directly, with a face full of joy.

"It's nothing to worry about...and don't be complacent, you will have this day sooner or later."

"Then I guess you can't see it."

…………

Although it seems that he and his second brother are about to get into a fight within a few words, in fact this is just a habit of the two brothers getting along, a way of expressing their feelings and kindness.

He is his biological brother. If it had been anyone else, Chi Jingxu's chin would have been raised to the sky. He was so arrogant that he wouldn't look at anyone in the eyes or say a word to you.

Chi Jingyuan actually enjoyed the atmosphere and time spent with his family. Unfortunately, everyone was busy with work and didn't have many opportunities to spend time together. After dinner, his sister and brother left and went to work.

And Chi Jingyuan also had to go to an appointment.

During the "Goblin" celebration party last week, tvN producer Yin Xialin made an appointment with him to introduce him to someone who is said to be one of the people in charge of Netflix Peninsula. After previous communication, the appointment was made this afternoon. The place was found by Yin Xialin. , in a cafe near tvN headquarters.

"Just over an hour has passed, and the news about your college graduation, Jingyuan, has already reached the top of the hot search list." After Chi Jingyuan got into the car, Park Jae-hyun said casually while driving.

"What do you say on the Internet?" Chi Jingyuan was a little full after eating, leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes to rest.

"I'm curious how you can be so popular and have such a busy schedule and still be able to complete your studies. There are also people who say, 'You are the benchmark for Peninsula artists.' Anyway, they are mostly praise, because your enrollment process is almost always public, so although it was said earlier There was an incident of fake academic qualifications of an artist, but no one questioned you.”

Park Jae-hyun had obviously just studied it, and said with a familiar smile: "People in our country attach great importance to academic qualifications, and even a black man will not say anything about it."

"Jingyuan, you are now among the group with the highest academic qualifications in the entire entertainment industry, right?"

"Not even close." Chi Jingyuan chuckled and shook his head slightly.

It was just an academic degree, he really didn't think it was anything.

However, if you put it in the idol circle among high school and junior high school students...he is really the top one.

"That's right." Just as he was talking, Park Jae-hyun remembered something: "In addition to the information I found for you last time, I also found some additional information. Jingyuan, you can take a look, it might be useful later. "

"Oh well."

When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he shook his head, picked up a folder next to him, opened it and read it.

After hearing Yin Xialin say that people from Netflix wanted to meet him last time, Chi Jingyuan paid attention, and then asked Park Jae-hyun to find relevant information about Netflix on the peninsula.

Netflix's English name is Netflix. It is a subscription-based streaming media platform. Simply put, its main job is to acquire or produce some film and television content, including TV series, movie variety shows, etc., and put them on its own platform to attract viewers to subscribe. Members watch.

Since its establishment in 1997, it has become one of the largest online streaming platforms in the Americas. Since 2015, it has begun global deployment and has entered Australia, New Zealand and other countries, including the Asian market.

"Before coming to the peninsula, Netflix first went to Neon in Asia to develop. At first, it was not too popular. The filming of the variety show "Duplex" gained a little popularity, but other aspects of development have not been very smooth. "

"It was not until the success of "Fireworks" last year that it received a relatively strong response. Have you seen it? No? Haha, I haven't seen it either... But overall, this drama is not successful. Japan's traditional TV station market is huge. It is not easy for a paid platform like Netflix to defeat traditional trial and broadcast platforms."

As Chi Jingyuan watched, Park Jae-hyun, who had read the information carefully, also introduced it, so that Chi Jingyuan could understand it in more detail.

"Although it was not successful in Japan, Netflix did not give up the idea of ​​​​laying out in Asia. In August last year, it officially started to develop in the Peninsula and established a Peninsula branch. It also started to contact major TV stations, several top directors, writers and actors..."

"How is the development?" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously while flipping through the information.

"Not so good."

Speaking of this, Park Jae-hyun shook his head and laughed, with a playful tone: "Although Netflix is ​​ambitious and says it is planning to expand into Asia, it has not been smooth sailing since entering the Peninsula market. It has no relationship with the monopoly wireless TV stations of KBS, because there is a natural competition between streaming media and TV broadcasting, and people are unwilling to cooperate with it."

"The same is true for directors, actors and artists. They all pay more attention to the development of TV stations and are not very optimistic about online platforms such as Netflix. I even said that there is a news circulating in the circle recently that a TV station PD has threatened to say something like "cooperating with Netflix is ​​to make things difficult for the TV station."

"Did anyone say such a thing?" Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyelids.

"I'm not sure about this." Park Jae-hyun smiled and shook his head: "But there is such a thing, and it is so widely spread, it should not be groundless... But even if someone said it, it is probably just some small roles, and some powerful people should not care too much."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds and then spoke: "After that, with tvN, CJ E\u0026M, JTBC and several other new cable TV stations also suffered setbacks during negotiations. They could not buy the top productions that the TV stations were optimistic about. Even if they increased their bids and the TV stations were willing to sell them, they could not buy the first broadcast rights. "

"But I went to find out from my friends that after Netflix failed to acquire finished TV series, it also started its old business - making its own TV series. I heard that the person in charge licked director Bong Joon-ho for a long time, and finally took out 50 million US dollars to invest, which was regarded as inviting him to come out and shoot the first self-made movie. At the same time, a self-made TV series seems to be in preparation recently. "

"But in my opinion, they still have not clarified the specific route of development in the peninsula. They want this and that, and want to do everything, but they can't do anything well. It's been almost half a year without an influential work. , and is still excluded by several monopoly TV stations in the circle. I checked it yesterday. At present, the total number of users of Netflix Peninsula Online is less than 80,000, which is not as many as the number of paid VIPs of your EXO official cafe every month... In general, it is even worse than when I first arrived in Japan..."

"If their two self-made movies and self-made dramas fail this time, I guess they will be close to withdrawing from the Peninsula market..."

As he said, he laughed softly, curled his lips and said: "Don't look at it. It's doing well in the United States, but Peninsula has its own way of playing, and they really can't play it."

His tone was a little sarcastic, as if he was gloating over Netflix's misfortune... At the same time, there was a kind of pride that Chi Jingyuan couldn't understand, as if he felt that Netflix's setbacks on Peninsula were natural.

Even though Park Jae-hyun, Chi Jingyuan's agent, is mature and stable, very discerning and knowledgeable, he still can't escape some of the characteristics rooted in the hearts of Peninsula men.

Both inferior and arrogant, Peninsula men have this contradictory psychology.

But Chi Jingyuan didn't care. He digested the news he just heard and ignored Park Jae-hyun's last obviously biased sentence. Instead, he asked curiously: "Only more than 80,000 users? How much is a monthly membership on Netflix in the peninsula now?"

"9,500 won a month."

"That's really not very cheap." Chi Jingyuan nodded slowly.

9,500 won is enough to buy an album, not to mention that you have to pay every month. Who would be willing to subscribe if you don't have any content?

"This time, the other party contacted you through producer Yin Xialin, and it is said that he is one of the persons in charge of Netflix Peninsula... Then I guess the other party is likely to want to cooperate with you, Jingyuan, in the field of TV series." After mocking himself, Park Jae-hyun immediately calmed down, turning the steering wheel skillfully while speaking his thoughts: "At present, the most important thing for Netflix is ​​to have a popular content drama to make a name for itself and break the current situation of being full of shackles. In the case that the success of the two self-made dramas is uncertain, finding the most popular and most popular actor is the best solution to greatly increase the probability of success of the TV series." He looked at Chi Jingyuan through the rearview mirror and said with a chuckle: "At present, the popularity of the TV series field is very high, and the one who can be qualified to bear the word "most popular" should be you, Jingyuan."
