Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Some things either we do not admit or do not exist.

From a few years later in the last life, Korean pop culture has been popular in China for nearly two decades. Not only Korean idols, but also Korean dramas, mobile phones, and clothing. There are many people in China, and they also It is the so-called Ha Han clan, who are desperately flattering and chasing after them.

Koreans are shameless in all kinds of applications for world heritage and grabbing things that are obviously Chinese and claiming that they belong to them. Everyone on the earth knows it, so I will not talk about it for the time being.

Talk about the national character of Koreans.

It took the Koreans 30 years to become one of the Four Tigers.

Koreans are the fastest to get out of the Asian financial crisis in the shortest time.

The Koreans have turned South Korea, which is deficient in nature, into a cultural export powerhouse.

If such Koreans are not worthy of the attention of the Chinese, then the Chinese will fall on their own arrogance sooner or later.

I don't know when, there has been a "hate" culture in South Korea.

What is a "hate" culture?

This "hate" is not resentment, not the kind of gnashing of teeth, I must take revenge on someone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, but a kind of experience of humiliation, depression, and then a strong rebound, self-reliance, self-improvement, self-confidence, Even conceited.

At the end of the 1970s, in the field of economics, there was a very famous term - the four Asian economic tigers.

The so-called Asian economic tigers refer to four regions - Xiangjiang, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea.

Among them, it can be said that it is the most difficult for South Korea to get this title.

From 1950 to 1953, the Korean War broke out on the Korean Peninsula. It was not until the "Panmunjom Agreement" was reached in 1953 that the Korean Peninsula entered a state of peace and South Korea could begin to develop its economy (at this time, The other three tigers have been developed for several years.).

In 1954, a group of American economists visited Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and finally concluded that South Korea's economy hadn't developed in 50 or 60 years.

Thinking about it, I can understand why these economists made this assertion—a country that has just experienced a war must be devastated and full of ruins. Looking at the economic structure of South Korea’s lack of resources, it is said that South Korea’s economy can grow in the 50s and 60s. The development in the past few years is already based on the fact that South Korea is a slave state of the United States.

but--

Those economists never imagined that South Korea has become one of the four Asian economic tigers in just over 20 years since they said this!

How did the Koreans break the spell cast by American economists?

The answer is - Koreans can do this mainly because of their "hate" culture.

The Korean peninsula, a tiny land, is actually quite unfortunate!

In the thousands of years of history, this land has experienced more than 400 invasions - among them, the Japanese did it, the Russians did it, and of course the Chinese did it, not to mention, Just recently, during the Qing Dynasty, North Korea was invaded by Huang Taiji, and later became one of the vassal states of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that this peninsula has always been controlled by foreign countries, including now, the half that belongs to South Korea is actually being controlled by foreign countries. ruled by the United States.

but--

After all, it has entered the modern society, and the American rule of South Korea has become invisible, so hidden that the vast majority of Koreans think they have finally gained freedom.

The rebound momentum after long-term depression is enormous.

In 1961, South Korea's military leader Park Chung-hee launched a military coup and began his rule. At this time, South Korea entered a period of political stability.

By the way, Park Chung Hee is the father of Park Geun Hye, the 18th President of South Korea.

When Park Chung-hee first came to power, South Korea’s per capita GDP was less than 100 US dollars. In the previous life, in 1996, before the Asian financial crisis, South Korea’s per capita GDP had reached 10,548 US dollars. That is to say, from 1961 to 1996 and 35 years, South Korea's per capita GDP increased by more than 100 times.

In the last life, this period of Korean history was called the "Miracle of the Han River".

How did the Koreans create this so-called "Han River Miracle"?

To be fair, South Korea's development has actually relied on some external forces.

In the beginning, the United States lent South Korea a lot of money, sometimes interest-free loans, sometimes low-interest loans, and even returned some money to South Korea-after all, South Korea is a slave country of the United States.

Later, the U.S. economy was also in a downturn, so it reduced the amount of funding for South Korea.

Under such circumstances, South Korea had no choice but to borrow money internationally—after all, in order to develop its economy, it cannot rely on itself, and sometimes it must rely on external forces.

At that time, South Korea borrowed a circle, and no country was willing to lend it money until it found the newly rising Germany.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Germany, with its rapid economic development, experienced a labor panic and a serious shortage of labor force. It hoped to get some labor from other countries to solve the problems it faced.

It happened that at this time, South Korea found Germany.

Germany said that I can lend you money, but you have to "repay the debt with Xier"-that is, let South Korea use people to repay the debt, that is, let Koreans go to Germany to work as laborers.

So a large number of Koreans went to Germany to work at that time.

What kind of jobs do Koreans go to Germany to do?

How can it be the turn of Koreans to do good jobs? Under normal circumstances, women work as nurses or even prostitutes, while men are mostly miners. In the last life, there was a Korean movie "International Market" that actually talked about Koreans going to Germany to work.

At that time, many Koreans died in Germany. You must know that in the 1960s and 1970s, the mining industry in Germany was not well developed, and landslides were also very common, and each landslide would take a lot of lives.

As for women, let’s not talk about being a prostitute. You have to take a lot of customers every day. As a nurse, you have to work more than forty-six hours a week, that is, you work five days a week, more than nine hours a day. The main income salary is very low.

In 1964, Park Chung-hee visited Germany and took a look at the living conditions of Koreans working in Germany at that time. As a result, he shed tears and said that you are really suffering. For the sake of Korea's economic take-off, you have made enormous contributions.

At that time, Koreans had almost no complaints. They thought that they went out to play for their own country and to make their own country better.

Some people may think that it was because the Koreans were poor and ignorant at that time, so they were so patriotic. When the life of Koreans improved, they would be like many Chinese, making money in their own country and spending money in foreign countries. Everything is good, but nothing from my own country is good, and I even wish to become a foreigner and become a foreigner.

To be honest, that's really not the case.

South Korea was affected by the financial crisis in 1997 without exception. At that time, South Korea's foreign exchange reserves were all exhausted, and the pressure from foreign debts was particularly high.

Some people may say that it is not easy for the country to owe debts, just print money to pay it back.

This is definitely a joke, not to mention that the creditor countries of the super India will not recognize the country's currency at all. Once the unstoppable inflation is created, the country's economy may not be saved—just like the Soviet Union, the super India Printing the ruble made the ruble finally become one dollar more than thousands of old rubles, and finally the Soviet Union, which was in full swing, disintegrated abruptly.

Therefore, if you want to repay foreign debts, you must take out internationally recognized hard currencies, such as foreign exchange and gold, that is, foreign exchange reserves and gold reserves.

Under such circumstances, the South Korean government called on Koreans, "Take out the gold in your hands and lend it to the country, that is, the government uses bonds to buy the gold in your hands, and it will definitely be returned to you in the future."

As a result, only a small number of Koreans sold their gold to the government, and most Koreans donated their gold to the government. At that time, there were even long queues (mostly women) on the streets of Seoul. ) went to the bank to take off their earrings, rings, and bracelets and donate them to the country to help the country tide over the difficulties.

Later, South Korea relied on these to overcome this difficulty and recovered from the financial crisis as quickly as possible.

Moreover, Koreans trust their own country’s products so much that they have even reached a state of blindness—in the last life, in South Korea, no matter how rich they were, almost all of them drove Hyundai and Daewoo, so most of the mobile phones were Samsung. A very small number of Korean talents drive BMW Benz and use Apple.

Conversely, looking at China, driving a domestic car and using a domestic mobile phone is a sign of LOW in the eyes of many people.

Of course, this is not all the fault of the Chinese people, it is also related to the failure of most Chinese brands to live up to expectations—their products are indeed inferior to foreign ones in every aspect except price.

Back to the topic——

The patriotic spirit of the Koreans is indeed very strong, which is a very important reason why this country, which is scarce in various resources, can develop.

Of course, it is impossible for South Korea to develop solely on the enthusiasm of Koreans.

The reason why South Korea can develop is also inseparable from the correct development strategy of South Korea.

During Kim Young-sam's administration, that is, now, South Korea's development strategy has become a two-pronged strategy - one hand focuses on high-tech industries, and the other focuses on cultural industries.

Not to mention the high-tech industry, Samsung, Hyundai, and Daewoo are all world-renowned high-tech brands.

As for the cultural industry, it often does not require much investment, but once it produces benefits, it can last. It is precisely because of this that Kim Young-san's very important part of the economy is the development of the cultural industry.

but--

There are two major problems for Kim Young-sam to engage in the cultural industry.

The first major problem is that unlike the entertainment industry in the previous life, which did not form a unified empire, this life has the DreamWorks empire established by Xu Cun. If South Korea wants to vigorously develop the cultural industry, it cannot avoid Xu Cun, the emperor of the entertainment industry.

(This is also a very important reason why Kim Youngsan strongly invited Xu Cun to Korea this time.)

The second big problem is that the cultural industry must have core values ​​as a source of radiation.

What are the core values ​​of Korea?

The answer is - no.

but--

It doesn't matter if South Korea doesn't have it, it can "borrow" from China, anyway, it has always been like this for thousands of years.

What did you "borrow" from China?

Of course, it is "borrowing" the most influential Chinese Confucian culture.

China's Confucian culture can be said to have influenced the entire East Asian cultural circle, including China (including Xiangjiang and Taiwan), Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, and even Southeast Asia have been influenced by Chinese Confucian culture.

So, South Korea really "borrowed" something good from China.

In the last life, under the packaging of Confucian family culture, Korean dramas swept across East Asia and even entered Southeast Asia.

Don't think that this is just to earn some copyright fees, in fact it is far from that simple.

What do many girls watch Korean dramas for?

Watch idols?

Not at all.

I also look at the dresses of the actresses in it, see how they dress so decently, look so good, and how do they make up so beautifully?

So they followed suit.

Korean clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics are immediately stimulated.

Also, why is long-legged Oppa so handsome?

How about going to Korea to see Oppa?

South Korea's tourism market has been stimulated again.

Also, why are Korean girls so pretty?

all right?

Then let's go to Korea for the whole time.

South Korea's plastic surgery industry has also been stimulated.

As a result, a set of Korean drama culture has driven the development of countless industries and developed a huge market, and the benefits generated by this market are countless times that of Korean drama itself!

Currently, South Korea is on the road to the next generation.

but--

Different from the first life, this life has Xu Cun as a stumbling block.

It's not that Xu Cun intends to completely limit the development of South Korea's cultural industry. Even if Xu Cun wants to do this, it may be difficult to succeed. After all, there are too many general trends driving it.

What Xu Cun wants to do is just two-way export - don't just export from your Korea to other regions, other regions must also export to your Korea, this is only fair.

last life.

South Korea is very domineering in this regard. for example:

In the late 1990s, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was not only popular in China, but Koreans also liked it very much, even more than Chinese people.

South Korea's cultural department was very worried that Chinese TV dramas would invade South Korea, so they forced the broadcast of "My Fair Princess" which was originally broadcast in the prime time to the second half of the night.

However--

This also failed to stop the popularity of "My Fair Princess" in South Korea-it was changed to midnight, and the ratings of "My Fair Princess" were still booming.

Seeing this, South Korea's cultural department discussed with the three major TV stations in South Korea, and simply banned "My Fair Princess"—in the last life, "My Fair Princess" was broadcast in South Korea for more than half, and then stopped broadcasting until Xu Cun Before rebirth, South Korea hadn't finished playing a complete set of "My Fair Princess".

In this life, under the operation of Xu Cun, many Hong Kong dramas and Taiwanese dramas, such as "Shanghai Beach", "Intolerance", "I am Kind", "Bao Qingtian", "Legend of the New White Snake", and even the "Legend of the New White Snake" in the mainland "The Story of the Editorial Department" and "Desire" have both entered Korea, and both have caused a sensation in Korea to varying degrees.

And one of Xu Cun’s reasons for coming to South Korea this time is to take advantage of Kim Young-sam’s needs now, and make a decision with the South Korean government that while helping Korean dramas open up the East Asian market, Hong Kong dramas, Taiwanese dramas, and mainland dramas must also enter South Korea. Make this win-win model a foregone conclusion, rather than the unilateral cultural invasion of South Korea in the previous life.

Therefore, while waiting for the Huo family sisters to present Kim Hee-sun and their eight Korean girls to themselves, Xu Cun's people and Kim Young-san's people have been talking about Korea's introduction of DreamWorks TV dramas and DreamWorks' help South Korea to distribute Korean dramas in East Asia... …
