上海电视节出现“反韩流” 因为漫天要价
据韩国中央社发自上海的消息，韩国电视剧在今年上海电视节上的销售情况不佳，在19日上海国际博览中心举行的“2006年上海电视节”中，感受到了“嫌韩流”、“反韩流”的气氛。韩国广播电视界人士指出，这是因韩国销售商目前漫天要价的傲慢做法造成的。随着《大长今》、《澡堂老板家的男人们》等剧的热播，中国已经成了韩国文化市场最大的消费国。针对中韩文化贸易不对等现象越发严重的现实，央视的韩剧播出量也随之下调。据悉，在这两天的电视节韩国展台前，前来询问购片的人络绎不绝，但是记者从KBS电视台销售主管处获悉，购片者大多是来自日本和中国香港、中国台湾的媒体，几乎没有内地的电视台。即使将新鲜出炉、在韩国播出反响很好的电视剧以每集5000至1万美元的“折扣价”叫卖，也难让内地媒体动心。销售主管对此表示无奈：“每年都来上海电视节设摊位的，针对中国内地市场，韩剧一年比一年难卖。”
　　
针对这种情况，韩国MBC电视台高层人士表示，尽管中国内地没有公开表示将停止进口韩剧，但今年3月有关部门决定停止审查韩国节目，客观上等同于中断了韩剧的进口。韩国广播电视界人士指出，中国内地之所以出现“嫌韩流”、“反韩流”的现象，是由于韩国销售商存在漫天要价的傲慢做法，同时，也未考虑到对方国家的文化尊严等，招致了反感与憎恶。韩国片商应该尽早觉悟。


looks like no tv company want to buy korean tv series

谢天谢地. 每一个series都是一样的plot. 哭哭泣泣男男女女.

^ lol . i understood that. it seems to be all you say on it.. i watched my share of good k-shows but its about time the wave ended. which country will be next to have a wave in asia? any ideas? O_o

north korea

Yeah there were some good K dramas, but too much crying in all of them lol. Next wave... I think Thailand. They gots some hot Muay Thai movies thing going on right now. When Tom Yum Gong starring Tony Ja hits the US, we'll see some major trends I think...

i didn't mean just dramas ya know.. but comedies, and movies. but yeah. i'm excited for the new tony ja movie. but that was directed by tarentino wasn't it? so it isn't really a thai production..

either Thailand or Taiwan

Either Japanese or Vietnamese

japan already had their thunder. i would say thailand too. .

^Japanese? It's been done already. But rest assured, Japanese wave will never be spread in Mainland China. Well, for obvious reasons.

And Vietnamese? You really don't hear much about Viet entertainment...

Toki: oh yeah, Korean movies rock. They're short, unlike the long @$$ dramas, hence more enjoyable lol. Tony Jaa totally kicks @$$. Muay Thai... mmm delicious *sounds of bone crunching*

i haven't heard much about vietnamese productions either. i think i heard that people are complaining that they should invest more money into the industry. korean dramas long? i didn't really think so.. well maybe not long compared to america's which usually last 20 years or more =O

ummm... so what happened?

why is everyone being so cavalier about it??

hahaha Suren's comments are always funny to me

yah Thai pop is cool....the language sounds very polite and interesting

Yeah, right.

The wave isn't near being over.

So, there will be fewer bootleged copies of Korean dramas and movies circulating in China? Lol

i doubt it. they may have some hot muay thai moves but their plot suck @$$

more like can't buy...hasn't the chinese government banned all korean tv series?

Chinese government is fearful of Korean cultural invasion. Besides, Chinese government threatened Korea there will be no Korean programs in Chinese TVs because SBS, KBS, and MBC all decided to produce dramas about Goguryeo kingdom.

that totally nails it! lotta their dramas are just variations of others'.
Their movies are much better though, although many would never pass ML China's board of censorship

lol this is the opening. how about, less girly stuff! maybe!?

Most pop culture imports are garbage.

I can't stand the crap they put on the Radio and TV, I think you'll learn more watching monkeys and apes jump around in the zoo than watching the mindless braindraining rubbish they put on the tube.

There is an economic theory called the "law" of diminishing marginal returns. The law said the more people consume something, the less satisfy they become with it. For example, if you play the same computer game again and again or listen to the same song over and over again, the less satisfy you become with it. At some point you just give up and go for other new things, because those things that you once liked become bored and offer no entertainment value. Korean movies and TV series are same things. Chinese people are sick and tired of them after they consume massive quantities of them for couples of years. Korean movies and TV series would disappear just like the Japanese movies and TV series wave in China in the 1980’s. lol

Mongolian martial arts flicks

i think the next big asian wave would be china, realistically speaking. The seeds ahve already been planted anyways.

I'm glad that it's over...I never liked Korean drama's much.

I think the next big wave will either be Taiwan or China...maybe even Japan because it seems like the "Japan anime" look is getting quite poppular.

I'm really not into any of the world's tv shows that I know of. I find the dramas, talk shows, and sitcoms to be redundant. They don't have much surprises like they used to. This was why reality tv was gaining popularity, but I think people are getting tired of those as well.

I'm sad to see the Crocodile Hunter go, but frankly, I wish he let us see more of the animals in their natural ways, instead of interfering with them too much. It's a matter of preference. I like to learn more about the animals way of life. Nowadays, the Discovery Channel in Asia is concentrating too much on typhoons.

yeah, especially since the ccp is funding chinese animation now eh? so next thing you know, it'll be a cartoon character practicing tai chi/xingyi/bagua and unleashing his chi/empty force/lin kung jing and doing chin na versus naruto's ninjustsu in which naruto and the rest will get their asses handed to them from bone crushing XING YI. lol seriously ALL OF YOU READ UP ON XING YI. the merciless art. lol.

i like watching japanese tv dramas when i have time cause the girls there are liberated but i can't understand what they're saying...

heh, precisely why it's called the "wave." i thought it already died down a long while ago?

besides, even i have to admit k dramas are starting to suck on a whole, with a very few exceptions. I feel like rattling the PD's everytime I encounter yet another inane plot.

the door has long been open for a different wave!

i think, the single countries have each had their wave. the only think that would spark peoples interest would be a collab with all 3 beasts of the east.

I believe all dramas SUCK. Be it Chinese, Korea, Japanese, American, or whatever. Who got the time watching all those lengthy and sticky dramas? I would rather see India dramas. At least they know how to dance......

Didn't that 'Crocodile Hunter' die the other day? Or was that another guy? Is that what you meant by "go" because he certainly is gone.

I agree. India dramas are pretty hot. Maybe they will be the next wave.

my money is on taiwan...they seem to be coming out with some good shows

Or I could say, "the hunter became the hunted."

Here's my opinion on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese dramas: I sense that more and more Korean dramas are losing their touch in reality. They tend to overreact over little things. In addition to that, I'm tired of watching people being hospitalized. I enjoy watching Chinese martial arts, but tend to fall asleep when the film turns to a dramatic scene. Japanese dramas have creative and unique stories, but something about them gets boring after three or four episodes. A J-animation character has more different facial expressions than a real-life Japanese entertainer does. That's why Japanese animation is more fun to me.

you're a down-syndrome retard

Korean Wave wouldn't be gone for at least another 10 years, why? First there are no other big dogs to produce dramas like MBS or SBS. Yes, Japan or China got the resources to produce these kinds of large budget dramas, however they don't have the right plot for it.

Second, plastic surgery is a very common thing in Korea, espeically among most of the female actress. With that, it is much harder for another group to compare with the Korean actress.

Third, the language itself plays a very important role too. You simply wouldn't sit on your @$$ and watch 20 hrs of TV show that speaks in a language you wouldn't prefer or at least not popular.

Fourth, a country would need enough history and culture to produce a good drama. Advertising also plays a huge role, which means the media must work together to promote a trend.

Lastly, I know that in China, Korean Drama started long long time ago, may be in the late 80's. It just that it wasn't as popular as today. So, Korean drama will remain in China as usual.

Japan could produce K-Drama quality, but in Asia, there is a big stereotype on Japanese people.

As for China, I don't think they could be in a leadership position as far as the media goes. Taiwan or Hong Kong, their media copied a lot from the Koreans. Many times, they even have to pay fees to copy some of the Korean TV shows (not dramas) or Korean pop music.

Lastly, you really have to say, East Asians on an average don't pay attention to the Southeast Asian media.

If I could lead the trend, i will actually promote Central Asia, countries or regions like Uzbek, Kazakh, Xinjang, Kyrgy. I would also promote Asian Americans in the U.S. back to Asia, making Asian Americans more popluar.

What do you think this represents in comparison to China?



Whats The Right Plot?



Japanese is too popular.



Chinese have the longest history in East Asia.



Yes.



So are you assuming that Chinese dramas aren't popular with Chinese people?



Whats that?



Proof?

^ alot of taiwanese entertainers DO copy koreans though

You are retarded~

Chinese actresses on an AVERAGE aren't as pretty.
Right plot: story, settings, place, culture, history, family values, food.
Japanese's stereotype: weird, small skinny, misleading wars or history, deeply admire westerners
I said a country need a long history, I didn't say China doesn't
Of course it is.
Proof? Are you kidding?? Are you lost from the society? May be you are just a kid.

Yes, i'm just a kid~..what did I say to provoke you? I just wanted to know...


oh..

Actually Chinese are into Kung Fu TV series now and reality shows. They are extremely popular in China and TV series such as cops, drug dealers, corruptions, etc... are also very popular. Didn't Korea copy its TV series and movies concepts from the West and Japan?

^ it used to alot, but not so much anymore, b/c its gotten so much spotlight these days, that it tries to be orignal from west and japan.

Well since you don't have the knowledge, that's why you want to see proof. Everyone who is 14 and older knows that the Chinese or Taiwanese what have you are copying the Korean Media. it doesn't need an average IQ to figure out. Or may be you ain't at average.

hmmm~ rlly? well i never seen korean too much...only 2...i juss watch chinese only...
i didnt kno you'd get provke by me..i'm srry again..iam only 14...

lol the korean are such attention whores, u think everything related to pop culture is related to ur crap LOL. Taiwanese dramas are NOTHING like $hitty melodramas from SK, and the latest craze on the mainland/taiwan was the taiwanese drama 王子變青蛙. lol, korean dramas? they're all dead. :laugh:

Bal-Ger, I don't want to waste my time with you. I am not here to educate you, so I will end the conversation will you.

Oh did I mention about Central Asians to the rest of you. For the past few years, Koreans are turning their attention to Kazahstan and Uzbezistan. A lot of countyside people actually went there and marry some of their women.

Matter a fact, they are very attractive, they all have a European Asian look.

Good, I just wish every taiwanese would think like you, unfortunately, they have to be around and try to look like Koreans, and going to Korean clubs or bars like they are one of them.

K-dramas and movies are two different things. I don't think Korean movies have been a great part of the Korean wave. Korean films are quite diverse. You can't easily pass your verdict about what Korean movies are like even after watching 20 of them. Some of you movie geeks might know what I mean. Just like you don't touch Hollywood movies with one broad brush. And Korean movies got western followers as well. As for Korean dramas, I don't care as much. I just watch really popular and most talked-about ones occasionally.

^ that drama sucked... plotless and meaningless.
