Chapter 477 I am the God of Medicine?
only.
What is this “National Welfare Medical Research Center”?
Su Chen was a little confused.
The system seemed to have sensed Su Chen's thoughts and responded immediately:
"This is a charity dedicated to making life-saving drugs affordable to the general public."
"To put it simply, it is to research and manufacture cheap life-saving special medicines so that ordinary people can afford them. This will prevent ordinary people from falling into poverty due to illness, or even having their families broken up."
oh.
Hearing these words, Su Chen suddenly realized.
Su Chen certainly knew that those life-saving special medicines could cost tens of thousands of yuan per bottle, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan per bottle.
Ordinary people with a monthly salary of three to five thousand yuan simply cannot afford it.
If you are unlucky enough to get certain diseases, to put it bluntly, you can only wait for death.
At this moment, Su Chen even remembered some scenes in "Dying to Survive".
“This is a very meaningful thing.”
Su Chen fully agrees with such charitable donations.
at the same time.
Su Chen has already begun to imagine the future.
Now the system's real-time task progress has reached 66.4179%. According to the current market conditions, it will be almost completed after these three TV series are sold.
If it still doesn't work, for Su Chen, it might just be a matter of adding another movie.
"Soon, I will be able to win without doing anything."
In three to five months at most, Su Chen will be able to achieve financial freedom.
At that time, even if Su Chen did nothing, all kinds of works produced and released before could bring Su Chen a steady stream of huge income.
"System, thank you!"
Yes, at this time, Su Chen expressed his sincere gratitude to the system.
Although it was a bit hard in the early stage , without the help of the system, he would have been just a fat otaku who lived a life of idleness and waiting to die for the rest of his life.
How is it possible to live the superior life of a superstar like today?
Well, the system didn't respond to that though.
But Su Chen's mood still became inexplicably beautiful.
With greater enthusiasm, I devoted myself to the filming of the three dramas.
One month later.
Su Chen was the lead in filming the 24th episode of the first season of "Friends", and was the first to complete the entire show.
This efficiency is actually not fast for Su Chen.
Mainly because this drama needs to be shot in bilingual format.
In other words, the same scene needs to be shot in both Chinese and English versions.
So, the speed can't be increased.
Of course, this is only relative.
Compared with other directors in the industry, this speed can be called rocket speed.
Half a month later, Su Chen completed the post-production of this sitcom.
So, the next thing to talk about is copyright transactions.
In Zhong Jun's office.
Zhong Lei, Zhong Jun and Su Chen began to discuss relevant matters.
Zhong Jun took the lead in putting forward his own suggestions:
"I think we should first solve the problem of the release of Ou Mei."
Zhong Lei agreed: "Yes, there will definitely be no problem with the domestic release."
"But in Ou Mei, whether we can win the top platform is still unknown."
Su Chen had no objection to this.
Indeed, his TV series has achieved huge success in China.
He even earned the reputation of being a TV ratings jackpot, but in Ou Mei, to be honest, he is still just a newbie.
Choosing which platform to release "Friends" is a matter of great importance.
Since the three people have the same attitude.
So, the next step is to do it.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun immediately contacted all the major platforms of Ou Mei.
So, three days later, representatives from major media groups from the Ugly Country and the Eagle Country gathered at the Xingyi headquarters building.
Why are there no platforms in other regions?
Su Chen, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun felt that it was impossible for a drama to be broadcast simultaneously around the world.
We must definitely use a point to lead the whole.
As long as a TV series becomes popular in a few important regions first, it will be very easy to promote it to other regions.
In the conference hall.
Representatives from the Eagle Country's major television media companies, including Sky TV, Bibis, and Sun Media, all came.
It’s just that some platforms in the Ugly Country seem a bit disrespectful at this time.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun invited a total of ten American television media companies.
But only six showed up.
This made Su Chen, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun a little dissatisfied.
Especially Su Chen.
You dislike my TV series so much?
I hope you won’t regret it!
For Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun, such a result is actually acceptable.
After all, these six television media companies are also top-notch in the U.S.
As long as they can get the contract from any one of them, it would be a success for them.
The two sides briefly introduced themselves to each other, and without further ado, they moved directly to the screening room.
Started watching "Friends".
However, the attitudes of the business representatives from various platforms made Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing how they all seemed to be indifferent and disdainful of the teasing, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun knew that, in fact, these platforms did not take Su Chen's TV series very seriously.
This is in stark contrast to the major domestic platforms, which are pursuing Su Chen's TV series like a star-chasing idol .
In fact, these Ou Mei platforms are indeed taking a trial attitude towards Su Chen's TV series.
To put it bluntly.
If Su Chen hadn't been extremely popular in Oumei recently, they would not have considered introducing Su Chen's TV series.
When it comes to the production level of TV dramas, they believe that Ou Mei is the best on the planet.
How could they lower themselves to introduce TV dramas from culturally and entertainment-backward regions?
What's more, it is a TV series produced by the Chinese, who were once regarded as an entertainment desert by the people of Oumei?
It is because Su Chen is too special, so the business representatives of mainstream television media companies in Oumei appear here.
According to Su Chen's current popularity in Ou Mei, if the TV series can reach the level of his previous works, it can still be brought back to test the waters.
Su Chen was not at all surprised by these people's attitude.
The arrogance and prejudice of the Oumei people are well-known.
They won't give you the respect you deserve until you conquer them.
So at this time, Su Chen didn't say much.
Facts speak louder than words, so let your works speak for themselves.
Yes, this has always been Su Chen’s life creed.
So, soon, the movie viewing began.
But, only a few minutes later.
There were bursts of laughter in the cinema.
The humorous and funny scenes in "Friends" were close to real life, which immediately captured the hearts of the Ou Mei people and made them laugh happily.
After watching the first few episodes of "Friends".
The business representatives of these television media companies have always made the decision to introduce this TV series.
Su Chen was not surprised by this.
You know, "Friends" is known as the number one sitcom in Oumei!
It has been very popular for more than ten or twenty years!
A total of ten seasons were produced and released.
In this time and space with highly similar cultural backgrounds, it would be strange if these Oumei people didn't like each other.
This made Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun immediately happy.
I thought you Ou Mei people had such high vision? After seeing Su Chen's work, weren't you also impressed?
However, during the subsequent copyright transaction negotiations, their faces suddenly became gloomy again.
Because the business representatives of these major television media companies in Oumei all offered extremely low prices.
Twenty thousand dollars an episode?
Thirty thousand dollars an episode?
Want to get rid of beggars!
There is no way Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun would agree to that.
Su Chen looked at this scene and said nothing more:
"Let's sign a bet agreement!"
In this way, we can make as much money as possible and it will be easier for the arrogant Ou Mei people to accept it.
Of course, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun agreed wholeheartedly with Su Chen's suggestion.
in the country, their secret to making a lot of money is through this method.
If the conventional pre-broadcast pricing method was used, it would be impossible to sell Su Chen's TV series at such a sky-high price.
Well, in fact, this method is also common for Ou Mei people.
However, this method is generally used when both parties are uncertain about the prospects of the work.
However, now, Su Chen and Xingyi are obviously full of confidence in "Friends".
Of course, the representatives of the major platforms are not concerned about these things at this time.
Signing a bet agreement is also an acceptable option for them.
After all, Su Chen's TV series is something with a very high degree of uncertainty for them. Introducing the work in this way is more in line with their interests.
Now that the method has been decided, the next step is bidding.
In the end, Sun Media acquired the copyright of the drama in the United States.
The specific terms are as follows:
The ratings of "Friends" exceeded 5 million, 500,000 (Chinese Yuan, the same below) per episode!
"Friends" has broken 10 million viewers, 1 million per episode!
"Friends" viewership exceeds 15 million, 2 million per episode!
"Friends" viewership exceeds 20 million, 3 million per episode!
"Friends" viewership exceeds 30 million, 5 million per episode!
Originally, according to Sun Media, the last two items were not included.
With 30 million viewers, the ratings for the United States are close to 50%.
These are ratings never seen before in their history.
Even the most popular TV series only has a little over 10 million viewers.
However, Su Chen, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun all made strong demands, including the last two.
The business representative of Sun Media felt that Su Chen and his team must be crazy about money.
How could a TV series have 30 million viewers?
However, since it is a bet agreement, they do not have to pay as long as they do not reach that data.
If "Friends" can really create such exaggerated ratings in the United States, it will definitely be worth the price.
In fact, for Su Chen, if he did not take into account that this was his first time entering the Oumei TV drama market, the price would definitely not be so low.
Let’s take a look at the domestic situation. What is the starting price for each episode of your own TV series?
Well, the beginning is always the hardest.
As long as he opens up the European and American TV drama market through "Friends", the copyright fees for his own works will definitely increase rapidly in the future. Su Chen has enough confidence in this.
Regarding the right to broadcast online, the specific terms are as follows:
During the serialization of "Friends", the online playback volume exceeded 2 billion, 1 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Friends", the online playback volume exceeded 3 billion, 2 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Friends", the online playback volume exceeded 4 billion, 5 million per episode!
Of course, the last clause was also added at Su Chen's request, and the business representative of Sun Media thought it was ridiculous.
You have to know that there are only 24 episodes in the first season of "Friends". How could the number of online views reach 4 billion times?
The Eagle Country has only more than 60 million people!
How many times does a viewer have to watch the video to reach 4 billion views?
But in Su Chen's opinion, such data is not difficult to achieve.
Situation comedy is a type of TV series that audiences like to rewatch the most.
As long as you fall in love with the drama, watching the songs three or five times is a basic practice.
Take "Wulin Wai Zhuan" for example, it has become the most watched TV series in China and even in the world, because everyone keeps watching it over and over again.
The copyright for the Ugly Country was acquired by NBC.
Su Chen was a little surprised about this, because in another time and space, "Friends" was produced by NBC. Perhaps this was the arrangement of fate.
The terms are similar to those of the Eagle Country, specifically as follows:
"Friends" viewership exceeds 7 million, 700,000 per episode!
"Friends" has broken 10 million viewers, 1 million per episode!
"Friends" viewership exceeds 15 million, 2 million per episode!
"Friends" viewership exceeds 20 million, 3.5 million per episode!
"Friends" viewership exceeds 30 million, 6 million per episode!
The terms of the online broadcast rights are as follows:
During the serialization of "Friends", the online playback volume exceeded 3 billion, 1 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Friends", the online playback volume exceeded 4 billion, 2 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Friends", the online playback volume exceeded 5 billion, 5 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Friends", the online playback volume exceeded 6 billion, 8 million per episode!
After all, the population base of the Ugly Country is much larger, so the data indicators are definitely different.
When they saw the terms offered by NBC, representatives from other companies such as CBS, ABC, FOX, HBO, etc. in the United States were all surprised.
They really didn't expect that NBC would be willing to offer such a high price for a Chinese TV series!
This is even more than one-third higher than the price they offered!
All of these companies came here to buy Su Chen's TV series at a low price.
If you can’t get it, forget it.
That's their strategy.
Now look, NBC, you are not playing by the rules at all.
In that case, just play your own game!
Representatives of these companies even felt that the top executives at NBC might be out of their minds, otherwise how could they make such a decision?
Well, after acquiring the copyright of "Friends", the sales representatives of NBC were a little nervous. He did bid according to the wishes of the TV station's senior executives, but in fact, these sales representatives also felt incredible that the TV station's senior executives offered such a high price.
If the ratings of "Friends" are not ideal, they may become the scapegoat in any minute!
