Chapter 483: Inclusiveness
And that is indeed the case.
In the following time, when "Friends" was broadcast in the six countries of Olive Oil Kingdom, Gaul Kingdom, Wine Kingdom, Tulip Kingdom, Music Kingdom, and Beer Kingdom.
They all set local TV drama ratings records!
When Su Chen saw the result, he was immediately happy.
This is equivalent to a lot of extra income.
It turns out that with great ability comes great responsibility.
For world peace and the well-being of mankind...
No, in order to make the lives of netizens from all over the world more colorful.
It seems that my TV series must go global in the future.
But of course, the money has not been settled so quickly.
After all, the settlement cycle abroad is different from that in China.
Suppressing the ecstasy of a good harvest, Su Chen continued to devote himself to the filming of "Nirvana in Fire".
Finally, on the last day of August, Su Chen completed the filming of the entire drama "Nirvana in Fire".
Then, Su Chen spent another five days to complete the post-production of the drama.
It’s not that Su Chen can complete the post-production of a TV series in just five days, but while Su Chen was filming in the front, he had already started using the evening time to do the post-production editing of the show.
Therefore, Su Chen was able to complete the post-production of the entire play in such a short time after the filming of the entire play was completed.
So, at this time, it became much easier for Su Chen.
In the drama "The Disguiser", Su Chen only played a small role and had already finished filming his role.
Although Liu Yunlong's filming was relatively slow, the filming was actually almost completed at this time.
You know, Liu Yunlong has been filming this drama for two months.
If he still can't take the picture, Su Chen will ask his female family members to say hello.
Then the next thing is to auction the copyright of "Nirvana in Fire".
"Xiao Chen, I think Nirvana in Fire could also try to export Ou Magnesium."
After seeing the finished product submitted by Su Chen, Zhong Lei gave his suggestions.
Yes, after seeing the huge success of "Friends", the Zhong brothers decided that Su Chen's other two TV series "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Disguiser" could follow the same path.
Because they have absolute confidence in the quality of Su Chen's TV series.
Even if these two dramas cannot create explosive ratings like "Friends" due to different cultural backgrounds, but with Su Chen's current fan base in Oumei, the ratings data should not be bad.
Since this is the case, why not take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits and make a fortune?
Hearing these words, Su Chen smiled with relief.
These two brothers are very thoughtful and always think about what is in their hearts when doing things.
Su Chen was just about to tell them about this. Unexpectedly, they were the first to make this suggestion.
“It’s worth a try .”
At that moment, Su Chen expressed his thoughts.
Yes, looking at such a big piece of cake in the Ou Mei market, Su Chen has been tempted.
Especially seeing that "Friends" was a huge hit in Ou Mei.
Su Chen believes that his TV series has been recognized by Oumei audiences.
Then, he will continue to release his other two TV series, which should be popular.
"right!"
“This is a must try!”
Seeing Su Chen agree, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were overjoyed and clapped their hands in celebration.
"This will greatly improve the company's performance!"
Of course, Zhong Jun also thought of a question:
"However, Xiaochen, the copyright price of Nirvana in Fire might be relatively low."
After all, this drama is set in ancient China, so its audience is definitely not that wide.
Su Chen himself is of course very clear about this.
"It's better to be lower."
The market for Ou magnesium is a big cake anyway. Even if the price is a little lower, the overall income is still quite considerable.
Zhong Lei then sought Su Chen's opinion:
"In that case, let's talk about overseas copyright first, what do you think?"
Since Su Chen's TV series has domestic copyright, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.
Let’s first negotiate the overseas copyrights, and it won’t be too late to discuss the domestic and Asia-Pacific copyrights later.
Su Chen nodded in agreement:
"Can."
It will be sold sooner or later. For Su Chen, it doesn’t make much difference whether to sell overseas first or to sell Ou Mei first.
Just let Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun handle this matter.
Since they think this is better, then just do it according to their wishes.
Thus, the strategy was finalized.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun immediately sent out invitations to the platform parties in various countries in Ou Mei.
This time, these platforms were unexpectedly active.
Two days later, business representatives from major platforms of Oumei gathered at the headquarters building of Xingyi Media.
The explosive popularity of "Friends" has made several major television media companies that introduced the show earn a lot of money.
Other platforms have become extremely jealous after seeing this.
Now that they have such an opportunity, how could they let it go?
Companies such as NBC and Sun Media, which have tasted the sweetness, are even more eager to continue their success.
Winning Su Chen's TV series will take their company's influence to a higher level.
Yes, in fact, Sun Media and NBC are both relatively weak companies in their regions.
But thanks to Su Chen's "Friends", they can be said to have enjoyed unlimited glory.
Now, of course, they hope that this kind of scenery can continue.
But they also knew that this time, they didn't want to get their wish so easily.
When they purchased the copyright of "Friends" before, other platforms did not pay enough attention to Su Chen's TV series, so they got a chance to get a bargain.
Now that all major platforms have taken it seriously, it will not be so easy for them to obtain the copyright of Su Chen’s TV series.
And the situation was exactly as they expected.
After completing the film viewing session.
Major platforms in various regions are very interested in Su Chen's new drama.
Although, the overall effect is a little worse than "Friends".
However, all major platforms have decided to try their best to obtain the exclusive regional broadcasting rights for this drama.
Well, yes, Su Chen considered that the other two dramas could also take the opportunity to enter the Ou Mei market, so during the post-production, various foreign language subtitles and English dubbing versions were added.
In this way, "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Disguiser" will no longer encounter any resistance when entering the Ou Mei market.
So, the next step is to see how each party performs during the copyright bidding process.
After a competition.
The broadcasting rights for the Ugly Country and the Eagle Country were still acquired by NBC and Sun Media.
Because they offered a price much higher than that of other platforms.
NBC's terms are as follows:
The ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 6.5 million, 2 million per episode!
The ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 10 million, 2.5 million per episode!
The ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 15 million, 3 million per episode!
The ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 20 million, 4 million per episode!
The ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 30 million, 6 million per episode!
For online broadcasting rights, the price is as follows:
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the number of online views exceeded 1 billion, 500,000 per episode !
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the number of online views exceeded 2 billion, 1 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online playback volume exceeded 3 billion, 2 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online broadcast volume exceeded 4 billion, 3 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online playback volume exceeded 5 billion, 5 million per episode!
The situation is similar for Sun Media.
If the number of viewers exceeds 5 million, they will give 2 million per episode!
In terms of online broadcast volume, if the number of views exceeds 500 million, they will pay 500,000 per episode!
This directly widened the gap with other platforms.
This enabled them to win the competition.
The platforms in the six countries, namely the Olive Oil Kingdom, Gaul Kingdom, Wine Kingdom, Tulip Kingdom, Music Kingdom and Beer Kingdom, all paid quite high prices to acquire the exclusive broadcasting rights in their regions.
Because at this time, Su Chen's popularity in Ou Mei was simply terrifying.
Although, the TV series "Nirvana in Fire" has too strong Chinese flavor.
But in their opinion, as long as it is Su Chen's work, there will be a market!
In the end, this copyright trade fair came to a successful conclusion in a way that made everyone very happy.
Su Chen saw this result.
He smiled brightly. If everything went well, he would make a lot of money after the show was aired.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun are even more looking forward to this.
Even if the data of "Nirvana in Fire" in Ou Mei cannot trigger the maximum clause, it will still generate considerable income.
It is a bit difficult to trigger the maximum clause, but Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun feel that there will be no problem in triggering the minimum clause.
When NBC later announced the news.
This incident caused a huge response on the Ugly Internet.
Most American TV and entertainment industry professionals find this incomprehensible.
Although Su Chenxiang is very popular.
However, you have to know that the entertainment industry of the Ugly Country is at the top level on this planet.
NBC, you, instead of using your own treasure trove, go all the way to China to import TV series. What do you mean by this?
Are you looking down on those in our ugly country's entertainment industry, or who are you looking down on?
All of a sudden, all kinds of sarcastic remarks emerged:
"Introducing Chinese TV series once can be considered a taste of the new, but continuously introducing Chinese TV series is simply a disgrace to the Chinese entertainment industry!"
“It is the duty of every TV person to give priority to broadcasting local TV dramas at all times!”
"Since when did our ugly country's entertainment industry need to fawn on foreigners?"
"NBC has set a bad example for local TV stations by pinning its hopes on a Chinese artist to turn things around!"
"We should resist the sudden popularity of Chinese artist Su Chen, but we should not promote him! This is a matter of basic principle!"
"We advocate letting a hundred flowers bloom, but that must be based on our local products!"
“…”
However, the majority of netizens in the Ugly Country are dismissive of such remarks.
"What are you talking about? If you can't do it yourself, then someone else should introduce Brother Chen's works?"
"As an ugly country, if our entertainment industry also needs local protection, I think it would be the biggest shame! You know, our ugly country's entertainment industry has been ahead of the world for a hundred years!"
"If you have the ability, you can surpass Su Chen's work!"
"I never thought such remarks would appear in the Ugly American entertainment industry. It's really ridiculous! When did we become afraid of imported goods?"
“I don’t care where the work comes from, as long as it’s good, I like it!”
"Hasn't the purpose of our Ugly Country always been to be inclusive? Just because Su Chen's work has become popular, you can't accept it?"
“…”
NBC executives looked at the situation and immediately launched a public relations campaign.
Because they knew very well that this was just a public opinion offensive launched by their competitors in order to suppress them. If their competitors aroused xenophobia across the entire network, then their plan to revitalize NBC through Su Chen would be shattered.
This is a pain they cannot bear.
Fortunately, netizens did not buy into the various comments made by the opponents, so it was easier for them to fight back.
Sure enough, that afternoon, online public opinion returned to normal.
Originally, netizens in the Ugly Country were very confident.
In their opinion, they are not afraid of outstanding talents. No matter how outstanding the talents are, in the end, won’t they all become part of them?
Once Su Chen becomes completely famous in Ou Mei, won’t he eventually have to enter Hollywood?
If you stay in Hollywood for a long time, won’t you just blend in and become a part of them?
So, gradually, netizens in the Ugly Country no longer had any aversion to Su Chen's works.
NBC also took advantage of this wave of popularity and released the promotional copy for "Nirvana in Fire".
Suddenly, the attention of netizens from the Ugly Country was attracted.
"A Chinese costume drama? It feels so mysterious and novel!"
"Brother Chen's TV series have created incredible ratings in China and Asia Pacific. I think this drama will not disappoint us!"
"This drama is a good opportunity to learn more about the amazing Chinese culture."
"As long as it's Brother Chen's work, I like it!"
"When will it be released? That's the point!"
“…”
Of course, this is just Su Chen’s attitude towards his fans.
However, some netizens in the Ugly Country expressed their resistance to this.
"Oh my god! This is actually a costume drama? I can't even figure out the official titles and names of people in ancient China!"
"I suddenly understand why some people want to boycott Su Chen's TV series. Do we understand such TV series?"
"I can't appreciate a TV series with such a completely different cultural background!"
"Su Chen's actions seem to be an attempt to reap the benefits! Does he think that we will accept any of his works?"
"Well, I think NBC is going to become a joke!"
"I understand NBC's desire to turn things around, but if they import works without any consideration, that might backfire!"
“…”
When the promotional video of Nirvana in Fire was broadcast in European countries such as Eagle Country, Beer Kingdom, Gaul, etc., it was also received coldly to a certain extent.
Indeed, the recently aired "Friends" has attracted a large number of fans for Su Chen in Oumei.
However, the people of Oumei are, after all, the people of Oumei, and they have an innate resistance to Chinese costume dramas.
