SM & Baidu seal new partnership
[TRANS] 140508 Summary of speeches at Baidu-SM Strategic Cooperation Conference.
Baidu vice pres:
Together with Baidu's online influence and the high quality work SM produces, we hope to present more professional work to our audience. Through various platforms such as Baidu Music, Baidu Tieba, and iqiyi, we are in charge of official SM music and video release (in China), artistes-fans interactions and other schedules.
With 26 being the average age of our Baidu workers, we pride ourselves for being able to understand teens, and their taste in fashion and trends.
Through today's partnership, Baidu will acquire the rights to publish SM's work, including official performance videos, MVs, and also, we will tailor-make shows for SM's artistes.
We will also ensure minimized distance between the artistes and fans, and help increase SM's reach. Ultimately, this can benefit the fans as well. At the recent music award show, we have witnessed Super Junior and EXO's popularity in China. We hope to further enhance an essential part of an artiste's career- viewership and search hits. We will also be aiding the Korean counterparts in terms of sharing our knowledge base of the Chinese audience's likes and dislikes and, increase artiste-fan interactions.

Kim Youngmin:
Ever since 1997, we have initiated many promotions in China for our artistes including H.O.T, BoA, TVXQ, SUPER JUNIOR, GIRLS' GENERATION, SHINee, f(x), EXO, Zhang Liyin etc. We are thankful for the great response and love we have received for our artistes and we are happy to sign this contract with Baidu.
====
Founder of Baidu:
There are two main points to our partnership:
Official MVs will be released on our portals and we will do our best in copyrights protection.
We will co-produce a reality show for SM artistes.
Ten years ago, Korean TVs and channels have helped distribute Korean entertainment in China. Ten years later, Chinese media will help push the second Korean entertainment wave in China.
======
SM Culture & Contents rept:
We are in charge of producing professional contents such as musical, documentaries, dramas, variety shows, together with Korea’s best actors and MCs, through new media platforms.
We promise to deliver professional materials to the Chinese audience through this cooperation with Baidu, and come up with shows catered to suit the viewers’ taste.
===
Lee Sooman: We have moved on to an era whereby we can produce our culture content. EXO-M is an example of teamwork between China-Korea. We promise to shock you with our upcoming production. Fan involvement in EXO Tiebas has exceeded 100million, and I believe that if we were to combine all that of SM artistes, it will be a formidable force.
===
iqiyi rept:
On our site, we will have an area dedicated specifically for SM artistes, and we will focus on producing shows for SM artistes that are suitable for the Chinese market.
Note:
EXO will film EXO's Showtime Season 2 in China with the cooperation of iQIYI(Video site invested by Baidu) this July!!!!
Tidbits:
- EXO's Overdose hit the melon roof for a 5th time today (it's now at #2 next to g.o.d.'s pre-release)
- The album has sold 178,000 copies in 2 days (K is at just over 96,000 right now) - this means K needs to sell about 15k to beat Mirotic's record
- Mcountdown Comeback Stage was today, Music Core coming up later this week - no Music Bank or Inkigayo this week :(

Date: 2014-05-08 09:26 pm (UTC)I checked out Melon and they're actually #4 now, but it's still a great position. How/where can you "see" they have hit the roof btw?
And I'm really interested on this article: http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=shm&sid1=106&oid=213&aid=0000477631&cid=511105&iid=988335. I wonder how are netizens comments here. I hope it gets translated.

Date: 2014-05-08 11:31 pm (UTC)The Baidu thing is totally an answer to my rant on SM's lackluster management in China of EXO-M, Liyin, Victoria, Zhou Mi, and Henry
no subject
Date: 2014-05-08 11:36 pm (UTC)There was a news article that came out today that Kim Soo Hyun made 18 million USD from Chinese CF's in the last couple of months alone and has helped triple his company's (Key Easy) stock value because of it.
The fact that M are getting their own reality show, Luhan's drama, and that OT12 are going on a FULL Chinese tour this summer means that SM is definitely committed to this market. Maybe the overwhelming success YWCFTS found in China was what they needed *shrug*

Date: 2014-05-08 11:51 pm (UTC)also has anyone read that weird rumor that suho or kai was seen outside of the cube entertainment building? its so funny seeing people react to it when there is no evidence other than a blurry picture at night.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-09 12:15 am (UTC)It's not a rumor, he's spotted there quite a lot (along with alot of other idols). Cube has a pretty private cafe in their basement that idols like to frequent because it's kinda super convenient and close to a lot of other entertainment companies (including SM and JYP); they're all really close to each other for some reason lol
