Chapter 163 Mysterious Confidence
It goes without saying that Xingyi made more than 500 million yuan from the drama "Wulin Waijiao" almost without any effort.
Kyoto TV made a lot of money from it.
Although the copyright fees they paid for the third and fourth seasons of "Wulin Waijia" were relatively high, the returns brought by the show's extremely high ratings far exceeded their investment.
Moreover, through this drama, they gained extremely high attention for an extremely long time.
You have to know that "Wulin Waijia" has a total of 81 episodes. If two episodes are broadcast every day, it will take more than 40 days in a row. What's more, it was intermittent in the middle, with two intervals of about ten days.
During the period when this drama was broadcast, Kyoto TV outperformed the four major first-tier satellite TV stations in all aspects, whether in terms of ratings or satellite TV revenue.
Station Director Yu Junsheng and Purchasing Director Xu Tao were already beaming with joy.
Now, is there anyone who still says that our Kyoto TV is not a first-tier TV station?
During this period, we are stronger than the four major first-tier satellite TV stations, okay?
Also caught up in the carnival is Tencent Video.
As of the day of the finale, the online broadcast volume of "Wulin Waijia" reached a staggering 50.5 billion!
The highest daily playback volume on the online platform reached a staggering 1.3 billion!
These data set a series of historical records.
Interestingly, on the first day of the premiere of "Wulin Waijia", people from all walks of life asserted that the drama's 200 million daily views might not be surpassed for a long time.
However, as the series aired, the daily viewing record was constantly being refreshed and pushed higher.
Until the end, film critics dared not discuss this topic anymore.
Because they are afraid that the slap in the face will come too quickly and too hard!
This drama not only made Tencent Video earn a lot of money, but also the number of daily active members and daily playback volume of the platform were far ahead of Youku Video and iQiyi Video.
This also broke the original balance among the three major video platforms, making Tencent Video a well-deserved leader in the industry in recent times.
Next, Su Chen will focus on the post-production editing of "Fist of Fury".
However, there were almost no wasted shots during the filming process, and Su Chen already had the finished product in his mind.
Therefore, this process was quite easy for Su Chen.
For the theme song, Su Chen used the original song "Fist of Fury".
Of course, Su Chen only recorded the Cantonese version.
Because the Mandarin version of "Fist of Fury" doesn't feel powerful enough.
Just five days later.
Su Chen completed all the post-production editing of "Fist of Fury".
When Su Chen brought the finished product of the drama to the president's office.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were not too surprised.
This kid is just so efficient, they've become a little numb to it.
However, when talking about the copyright auction, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun's faces suddenly became serious.
Zhong Lei: "The current environment is a bit unfavorable to us."
"According to the information we received."
"Snow Swordsman is the copyright of Penguin, and it will most likely be broadcasted exclusively on Tencent's video network. Because of the schedule conflict, Tencent will postpone the broadcast even if it buys our copyright. So, we have one less choice."
"'The King Behind the Scenes' has already agreed with the heads of all parties to hold a film screening the day after tomorrow to discuss copyright."
"It may take a few days for the copyright auction of our drama to be completed."
Zhong Jun: "Actually, it's okay to be late for a few days."
"The main reason is that judging from the feedback from all parties so far, people's enthusiasm for our action drama is not too high."
This made Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun feel that the copyright of the drama "Fist of Fury" might not be sold at a high price. After all, the market environment is there.
Su Chen shook his head:
"If the bids from all parties are too low, I won't agree."
"If it really doesn't work, let's sign a bet agreement."
Isn't it just to make more money that I spend so much energy and effort?
Selling at a low price is definitely not an option.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun immediately expressed their agreement.
In fact, they have considered this issue.
Su Chen's drama is of such high quality and the fighting scenes are so exciting that they are not willing to sell it at a low price.
They are still quite confident about Su Chen's work.
At most, when signing an agreement, the standards are set lower.
It's better than selling the copyright for one or two million per episode.
This may sound a little crazy.
If the ratings of "Fist of Fury" flop, wouldn't they suffer huge losses?
But for some unknown reason, they had a mysterious confidence in Su Chen.
in their calculations.
If "Fist of Fury" can create miracles like "My Own Swordsman", then Star Entertainment can make a fortune.
Well, even if it flopped, Xingyi has already made enough money from "Wulin Waijiao".
They can afford to lose this time.
At most, you should be more cautious when Su Chen is starting a new drama project in the future.
After negotiating this matter with the Zhong brothers.
Su Chen plans to go back and rest for a few days.
However, at this time, Zhong Lei gave him a suggestion:
"Xiaochen, take a good rest!"
Yes, from the filming of "Wulin Waijia" until now, in the eyes of the Zhong brothers, Su Chen has never had a proper vacation.
"This is the key to our beachfront villa in Beidai River! Why don't you go there and have some fun for a few days!"
Zhong Lei said this and handed Su Chen a bunch of keys.
The Zhong brothers had agreed long ago that after Su Chen finished his work, they would force him to rest for a while .
If Su Chen was exhausted, it would be an unbearable pain for Xingyi.
Su Chen was a little hesitant:
“That’s not good.”
He wanted to take a break, but it wasn't necessary to be so extravagant.
Zhong Jun:
"Xiaochen, listen to us, leave Kyoto and have a good rest!"
To be honest, if he stayed in Kyoto, all kinds of invitations would come in droves. By then, they might not be able to resist the temptation and would ask Su Chen to attend the event again.
Su Chen understood what Zhong Jun meant.
Come to think of it, as long as I'm in Kyoto, all kinds of business will come to me, and it's impossible to have a quiet time.
Seeing that Su Chen was still hesitating, Zhong Lei continued to persuade him:
"Xiaochen, that beachfront villa has a unique view."
"There is no need to worry about hygiene issues. The villa is basically brand new. We have never lived in it since we bought it two years ago. And there are special cleaning staff to maintain it. It is absolutely clean and you can move in whenever you want."
I saw that the Zhong brothers said so.
Su Chen couldn't be so pretentious anymore.
Anyway, I'm just going to play for a few days, it's not like I'm going to take over someone else's villa
"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Zhong."
Su Chen was a little nervous at the moment and took the key from Zhong Lei.
Because Su Chen was afraid that the system would deduct money from him.
If the system wanted to deduct money, he had no choice but to shamelessly return the key.
"System, can I stay?"
At the same time, Su Chen used his mind to ask the system.
