Chapter 486: Breaking Through Cultural Barriers
At this time, the top executives at NBC were ecstatic.
To be honest, they made the decision to switch gears and broadcast Nirvana in Fire immediately.
In fact, it is a huge risk.
But looking back now, it is clear that the huge risks they imagined did not occur.
However.
These senior executives are very clear that not appearing does not mean not existing.
If a costume drama with a Chinese background was shot and produced by someone else, it would most likely fail.
There is no doubt that the current result is because of Su Chen!
Su Chen's popularity and his fans' enthusiasm for him directly broke through the barriers of cultural background!
This is what makes Su Chen so terrifying!
At this time, they were also happy with their own wisdom.
To date, facts have proven that their approach of introducing Su Chen's TV series to enhance the influence of the TV station was extremely correct.
Continuously won the first place in ratings in the same time period!
Super high popularity and topic level!
It can be said that through Suchen's TV series, NBC has been in the limelight in the Ugly Country in recent times.
See this scene.
Television media companies in the Eagle Kingdom, Beer Kingdom, Gaul Kingdom, Tulip Kingdom and other regions that have already introduced Su Chen's TV series feel that they have missed out on billions!
If they had switched to broadcasting Nirvana in Fire as soon as possible like NBC did, the show would have !
And, by switching gears immediately, NBC attracted so much attention.
Now that I think about it, they were really stupid.
Therefore, the senior executives of major television media companies simply had a simple communication.
Then the decision was made to change gears immediately and broadcast Su Chen's new drama "Nirvana in Fire" during the prime time the next evening.
Despite this, these senior executives are still filled with regret.
Time is money!
How much money did they lose because of the two days delay!
Fortunately, their decision immediately received support and praise from a large number of domestic netizens.
"I really don't understand! This drama is already extremely popular in Ugly Country! We just decided to air it tomorrow night!"
"Great! We can finally watch Nirvana in Fire tomorrow night!"
"That's what I said! Why did they hide Chen Ge's new drama and not broadcast it even though they had already introduced it? It's such a waste of talent!"
"It's such a pity that we can't watch Chen Ge's new drama first and can only watch our noisy neighbors making a fuss there."
"Fortunately, the TV station's top executives are still in their right minds, otherwise, we would be in even greater trouble!"
"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost! Thumbs up to the TV station's top executives for their wise decision!"
“…”
Seeing that "Nirvana in Fire" is so popular in Ou Mei.
All major domestic platforms are full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Originally, this was a domestic TV series, and domestic platforms like them should have been the first to benefit from it. But now, Xingyi and Su Chen seemed to have shifted their strategic focus to Ou Mei.
As a result, they have become the neglected party.
As a result, Ou Mei's television media company has already made a profit through Su Chen's TV series, but their broadcasting rights have not yet been finalized.
However, they did not dare to complain too much about Su Chen and Xing Yi's actions.
After all, the domestic base is very stable now. There won't be any problem if it is broadcast one or two days later. Moreover, if Su Chen's TV series becomes popular in Ou Mei first, it can also increase the self-confidence and self-esteem of domestic netizens, right?
Fortunately, this afternoon, they will be able to attend the "Nirvana in Fire" film screening and copyright trading fair held by Xingyi Media.
At this moment, the domestic Internet is bustling.
Netizens from all walks of life seemed to be celebrating a festival, and were overjoyed:
"Netizens from Guangdong Province sent congratulatory messages, congratulating Brother Chen's TV series for being a huge hit in the Ugly Country!"
"Great! Who says that people in Ou Mei don't like to watch TV series with ancient Chinese backgrounds? Just look at the performance of Brother Chen's Nirvana in Fire!"
"Speaking of which, actually, there are two kinds of Chinese TV series in this world. One is the Chinese TV series produced by others, and the other is the TV series produced by Brother Chen."
"In fact, it's more than that. It can be predicted that from now on, with the promotion of our Brother Chen, TV series produced by our domestic producers will be more likely to achieve success in Oumei!"
“It is no exaggeration to say that Brother Chen has opened a new era for domestic TV dramas!”
“…”
Seeing that "Nirvana in Fire" achieved such high ratings in the Ugly Country, Su Chen finally smiled with satisfaction.
To be honest, such a viewership rate has exceeded Su Chen's expectations.
In Su Chen's estimation, due to the cultural background gap, the ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" may be slightly lower than that of "Friends".
But now it seems that in certain situations, the so-called cultural barriers are not actually a problem at all.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The film screening was successfully held in the cinema hall of Xingyi Media’s headquarters building.
There is no doubt that everyone is impressed by the quality of the drama "Nirvana in Fire".
How could a TV series that has become so popular in the Ugly Country be of poor quality?
So at this time, the so-called watching a movie is just a formality.
Soon, everyone moved to the conference hall to negotiate the copyright transaction.
Well, actually this is already a cliché.
Only the five major TV stations can afford such a high copyright price.
Moreover, the price of Su Chen's TV drama copyright has already reached the ceiling and can basically no longer go up, so after some negotiations, everyone still follows the old rules.
Five Star Network, the copyright agreement terms are similar to Su Chen's previous TV series:
The single satellite TV station ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 3%, 15 million per episode!
The single satellite TV station ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 5%, 20 million per episode!
The single satellite TV station ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 7%, 25 million per episode!
The single satellite TV station ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" exceeded 9%, 30 million per episode!
This time, the exclusive online broadcasting rights were acquired by iQiyi Video at a relatively high price.
The specific terms are as follows:
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online broadcast volume exceeded 6 billion, 30 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online broadcast volume exceeded 7 billion, 32 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online broadcast volume exceeded 8 billion, 35 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online broadcast volume exceeded 9 billion, 38 million per episode!
During the serialization of "Nirvana in Fire", the online broadcast volume exceeded 10 billion, 40 million per episode!
Of course, Zhong Lei, Zhong Jun and Su Chen couldn't say much about such a result.
After all, the domestic TV drama market is only this big.
The copyright price of a TV series cannot rise indefinitely.
So, this is also the reason why Su Chen wants to expand into overseas markets.
For Su Chen, the revenue from his TV dramas in the domestic market has reached its upper limit.
If you want to make more money, you have to go out.
Platforms in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Korea, Japan, and Annan, also acquired the exclusive broadcasting rights for the drama in their regions at a fairly high price.
Then after consultation, everyone decided that "Nirvana in Fire" will be broadcast simultaneously on major platforms in all regions tomorrow night.
Why this time?
Everyone thinks that the sooner the show is broadcast, the better.
It would be a huge loss if we don't take advantage of the popularity of Su Chen and the show to air it.
Of course, gear shifting is inevitable.
The TV series originally scheduled for prime time has only been aired for a few days and is not even halfway through, but for Su Chen's TV series, it had to give way.
After this news was announced.
The whole network was jubilant.
"Great! We can finally watch Brother Chen's new drama!"
"The five major TV stations are really smart! It's not too late to broadcast it tomorrow!"
"I always feel weird that our own domestic TV series cannot be watched first, but instead are snatched away by the audiences of the ugly country. I hope Brother Chen will not be like this in the future!"
"Like! I think there is nothing wrong with what Brother Chen did. Isn't Brother Chen bringing glory to domestic TV dramas?"
"I have read the novel Nirvana in Fire published by Brother Chen on the Qidian novel platform. It is very exciting! I think it will be even more exciting if it is made into a TV series! The popularity of this drama in Ou Mei speaks for itself!"
“…”
The next day.
Nirvana in Fire was shown in Eagle Country, Gaul Country, Beer Kingdom and other regions, and it indeed received very popular ratings.
A TV series with a Chinese ancient costume background has achieved extremely high ratings in most areas of Oumei?
No one dared to think of such a thing before.
But now seeing such results, everyone takes it for granted.
Because of Su Chen's extremely high popularity and the early foundation, everything seemed to be a natural outcome to achieve such results.
Television media companies from various countries were happy at this time.
Their decision was indeed correct.
The decision to introduce Su Chen's "Nirvana in Fire" was a big risk.
But now it seems that believing in Su Chen's TV series may never be wrong.
Companies like Sun Media don't have a very high status in their local market.
However, with the introduction of Su Chen's TV series, which became a hit one after another, their influence and status in the local area have been greatly improved.
And, more importantly, they can earn super high profits through Su Chen's TV series.
Not to mention "Friends", the current "Nirvana in Fire" has a total of 54 episodes.
The impact and benefits of such a long article are even more unimaginable.
At this moment, these senior executives remembered a sentence from netizens:
"Brother Chen, you are the eternal God in my heart!"
It was eight o'clock in the evening local time.
When "Nirvana in Fire" was broadcast on the five major satellite TV stations.
As soon as it was broadcast, it created an amazing start with the collective ratings of the five major satellite TV stations exceeding 8%!
At this moment, Su Chen's fans seemed to be celebrating a festival.
"I have finally waited for this day! Thank you, Brother Chen, and thank you to the five major TV stations!"
"This is another new type of TV series produced by Brother Chen. I am really looking forward to it!"
"The plot of the novel is so exciting. If it falls into Brother Chen's hands, it will definitely be even more exciting when it is turned into a TV series!"
"At this moment, I feel very special! Because this broadcast is very special. With Ou Mei's early popularity, I think Chen Ge's TV series will create a new ratings record!"
"Conservatively speaking, it should be a basic operation for the ratings of Nirvana in Fire to exceed 10!"
“…”
And that is indeed the case.
The first episode isn't even halfway through.
The real-time ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" on the five major TV stations have collectively exceeded ten!
Looking at such results, Su Chen couldn't help but have more expectations.
In the past few TV series, the ratings limit was 10. It was about the same.
Can we break through the limits and create higher ratings this time?
To be honest, Su Chen felt that this was possible.
Because the situation this time is completely different.
There is a phenomenon called export-to-domestic sales.
An originally common item can skyrocket in value if it is packaged overseas and then sold back home.
And now, Su Chen's TV series are becoming a hit in Oumei, creating excellent ratings.
Under such circumstances, broadcasting it domestically can certainly arouse greater enthusiasm among the audience and netizens.
Zhong Lei, Zhong Jun, and other members of the "Nirvana in Fire" crew were once again in a carnival.
This time, the drama also created the best start for Suchen's TV series.
How could they not be overjoyed at such a happy event?
So, they once again proposed to Su Chen to hold a grand celebration banquet.
Well, Su Chen has actually become a little numb to such things.
However, given the purely ancient Chinese background of the drama "Nirvana in Fire", the popularity of this drama in Ou Mei has a very different meaning.
This is equivalent to opening a new era for the export of Chinese TV dramas overseas.
It seems only natural to celebrate .
So, Su Chen agreed to everyone's request.
As for the congratulatory messages from various celebrities on social media accounts, Su Chen would personally reply to only those with whom he had a better relationship. As for the rest, including celebrities and internet celebrities he was only vaguely familiar with, Su Chen would directly throw them to Lu Lanlan.
Just let Lu Lanlan handle it.
The next night, at the celebration party, we received the news that the ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" had exceeded 12.
This brought the atmosphere of the celebration banquet to a climax.
"Salute to Brother Chen!"
"Congratulations to Brother Chen! Congratulations to the comedy group! Congratulations to Xingyi!"
“…”
At the same time, everyone surrounded Su Chen and took turns toasting him.
To be honest, if everyone wasn't worried about Su Chen's great kung fu skills, he might hurt himself.
Everyone has thrown Su Chen aside!
Well, Su Chen was also very happy with such ratings.
This number also created the highest ratings for Su Chen's TV series.
Originally, Su Chen only considered the celebration banquet as a formality.
But looking at the current situation, it is impossible to leave immediately.
Now all we can do is stay at the scene and continue celebrating with everyone.
But having said that, this kind of atmosphere is really great.
Even Su Chen, who doesn't like socializing, really enjoyed it.
