Chapter 487 Raising the ceiling of the entertainment industry
At this time, the Internet has become a sea of joy.
Yes, it is no exaggeration to say that Su Chen at this time has become a national idol.
The brilliance created by Su Chen's TV series is a great joy for netizens all over the Internet!
"Five-star broadcast, the ratings of the five major TV stations simultaneously exceeded 12%! Who else can have such ratings except our Brother Chen !"
"Congratulations to Brother Chen for his TV series Nirvana in Fire, which has been a huge hit around the world!"
"Brother Chen and his TV series are the collective pride of our Chinese netizens!"
"I have a feeling that this viewership rating is just the beginning for Brother Chen's TV series!"
"Do you remember? The ratings of TV series in the last century could reach 90%! Do you think that Brother Chen's TV series can replicate that miracle?"
"You can be happy, but you shouldn't be too proud! The ratings of the last century cannot be replicated. Because during that period, people had basically no choice of entertainment activities."
"It's a pity that Brother Chen's brilliance has raised the ceiling of the entire domestic entertainment industry!"
“…”
In sharp contrast to this is.
All the celebrities, big and small, in the entertainment industry were feeling lonely at this moment.
Although, they all sent congratulatory messages to Su Chen as soon as possible.
But you can deceive others about the feelings in your heart, but you cannot deceive yourself.
Okay, Su Chen is indeed shining all over the world, but what about them?
As for these celebrities in the entertainment industry, their star power is dim.
For Su Chen, it has become a routine operation for the ratings to exceed 10, but for their TV series, it is extremely difficult to break 2.
How can we deal with this?
Alas, they still have a long way to go in the future.
The next morning.
Su Chen continued to work on the post-production of "The Hidden".
Yes, after all the work on the first two dramas has been completed, it is time for Su Chen to concentrate on producing "The Hidden".
In fact, the post-production workload of the drama "The Hidden" is not very large.
Because the show only has 30 episodes, and Su Chen had already started post-production a few days ago. To be honest, if Liu Yunlong hadn't finished some scenes, Su Chen could have finished editing the show in two days.
"Xiao Chen, I'm busy!"
At this moment, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun suddenly came to his workshop at the same time.
"How's the progress?"
Su Chen glanced at the Zhong brothers.
It is immediately apparent that these two brothers would not come to visit unless they had something important to do.
In fact, during this period of time, unless it was a major matter, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun would not come to me in person. After all, most of the work could be done by assistants.
After all, he is the CEO of one of the top entertainment companies in the country. How could he always be so servile and act like your grandson?
Su Chen actually takes this matter very lightly.
The relationship between the two parties is mutually beneficial. If I can't bring huge benefits to Xingyi.
From the beginning to now, how could Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun give me such courtesy?
“Almost done.”
"What's the matter, Mr. Zhong?"
Su Chen didn't waste time with them and asked directly.
Well, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun have long been accustomed to Su Chen's way of speaking.
The Zhong brothers looked at each other, and then Zhong Lei spoke:
"Yes, there is indeed something I want to discuss with you."
"NBC wants to invite you to participate in one of their variety shows! The price they offer is quite high!"
The main thing is that the other party also promised to give Xingyi an agency fee.
Originally, Xingyi was not able to participate in the profit sharing of Su Chen’s commercial performance announcements.
But the other party is so generous.
Then, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun have to pay attention to it.
"Oh, how much is it?"
In fact, Su Chen seldom runs announcements.
Originally, Su Chen didn't like doing that kind of thing, and now Su Chen's appearance fee is already a very astonishing figure.
Ordinary TV stations can’t afford it.
However, to be honest, the upper limit of Su Chen's domestic appearance fee at this time is about 30 million.
Thirty million for one appearance, who can afford it except the five major TV stations?
However, the five major satellite TV stations have already benefited from the popularity and traffic of Su Chen's TV dramas, so there is no need to invite Su Chen to participate in variety shows.
After all the twists and turns, Su Chen's announcement has become a thing of the past with no demand in China.
I have to say, this is also a strange phenomenon.
So Su Chen was very curious at this time, how much money NBC could offer him?
Zhong Jun spoke at this time:
"Ten million dollars! All you have to do is dance and sing an English song and perform for half an hour!"
Converted into Chinese currency, that would be more than 70 million yuan!
At the same time, NBC also promised to pay Xingyi Media a considerable agency fee.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were also puzzled. It seemed that NBC had done enough homework on Su Chen's situation.
He even found out clearly that Su Chen didn't like to attend commercial performances and who had the say.
"oh?"
This offer was completely beyond Su Chen's expectations.
in the country, the maximum appearance fee for a promotion is 30 million yuan.
This is still a theoretical offer. In fact, no platform has ever offered Su Chen such a high offer.
But now, NBC actually offered him a direct offer of 10 million dollars?
Perhaps, in the eyes of ugly Chinese people, ten million is nothing at all?
However, this is not the case.
Even the top queen of the ugly country, Biangsi, only gets about this level of appearance fee in her native country.
Of course, the invitation of 24 million dollars from a tycoon in Dubai was an exception.
Such a price is completely out of line with market rules and is simply the result of the willful behavior of the oil tycoons.
No actual reference value.
That is to say.
At this moment, my commercial value in the Ugly Country has reached that of the Ugly Country's veteran queen, Biangsi?
Well, at this time, Su Chen himself really couldn’t estimate it.
At least in the eyes of NBC executives, their current popularity and traffic are worth the price.
Suddenly, Su Chen became interested.
“What kind of variety show is this?”
Zhong Lei explained:
"This is a dance variety show. It is said that any dance can be performed."
"NBC's requirement is that you appear on stage for half an hour, singing and dancing to perform a show."
Su Chen thought about it, then nodded:
“You can join.”
Anyway, "The Hidden" is almost done now, so I can completely spare some time.
The main reason is that 10 million dollars is too tempting.
After conversion, it would be more than 70 million!
In other words, you can just take a trip there, pocket the money, and relax your tense nerves. Why not do it?
"Very good!"
"Okay, I'll reply to NBC immediately."
Seeing Su Chen make such a statement, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were secretly delighted.
To be honest, when Su Chen was considering it, they were really worried that Su Chen was unwilling to participate.
After all, Su Chen’s current income from a TV series is an extremely exaggerated figure.
Tens of millions are really nothing to Su Chen now.
If Su Chen didn't want to go, there was nothing they could do.
Fortunately, Su Chen finally accepted the invitation this time.
Therefore, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun immediately gave a positive reply to NBC.
Then, announce the news through the official website.
Su Chen’s fans immediately exploded!
"Oh my god! See? This is our brother Chen's current net worth! It's no wonder he's the best in the domestic entertainment industry!"
"Brother above, you are too conservative! Biangsi is worth about this much in China!"
"Great! Brother Chen has now fully stepped into the world!"
"The appearance fee is over 70 million! It's outrageous!"
“Appreciation, relief, congratulations!”
“…”
but.
Netizens from all walks of life have different reactions to this.
"Oh my god, this appearance fee is too outrageous!"
"It's a pity we can't watch the live broadcast!"
"Although this is the pride of the Chinese people, I think the price is a bit high!"
"Brother Chen is so popular! But the focus of development has clearly shifted to the international level. From now on, our domestic fans will have fewer opportunities to see Brother Chen show up!"
"I think this is another major victory for domestic entertainment!"
“…”
In sharp contrast to this is.
When NBC officially announced the news, it caused a huge sensation in the United States.
It was a sensational one, just like complaining about a piece of music.
"Walter! Su Chen's appearance fee is 10 million dollars? Are you kidding?"
"Biangsi's appearance fee is probably about this! But Biangsi has dominated Oumei for twenty years! How long has Su Chen just debuted?"
"This is outrageous! NBC actually gave such a high appearance fee to a Chinese artist. It is a shame for us Chinese netizens!"
"See! Su Chen is not worth the price at all!"
"I think NBC is hyping this up, total hype!"
“…”
Seeing this, other television media companies in the United States felt that this was an opportunity and launched publicity campaigns.
Adding fuel to the fire, this move by NBC was made worthless.
Inciting hatred and calling on netizens to boycott NBC and all NBC programs.
This immediately received strong praise from a group of angry young Chinese netizens.
only.
At this time, Su Chen's TV series "Langya Bang" had just created a super high ratings in the Ugly Country.
At this time, Su Chen's influence in Chou Country was extremely huge.
Although various forces were undercurrents trying to overthrow Su Chen and NBC, the effect was only mediocre.
There are still a large number of netizens who support Su Chen and NBC.
"Trolls are everywhere! The price is inflated, but it's your business if you want to fight and you want to be beaten!"
"I think Brother Chen's current popularity and influence are definitely worth 10 million! Don't you think that Brother Chen is now a world superstar! Not only is he popular in Ou Mei, he is even more popular in China and Asia Pacific!"
"The haters may have forgotten one fact! Now, who has more fans, Su Chen or Biangsi?"
"Need I say more? Even someone who hasn't even graduated from elementary school can figure it out. Su Chen definitely has the most fans! Just count how many people there are in Yatai and you'll know!"
"That's right! Before Su Chen opened up the Ou Mei market, you could ignore the number of Su Chen's fans in China and Asia Pacific, but after Su Chen became popular in Ou Mei, the combined power of these fans was terrifying!"
"So strictly speaking, I think Su Chen's commercial value is already higher than that of Biangsi!"
“…”
Therefore, despite the major television media companies fanning the flames behind the scenes, the trolls' arguments still cannot gain the upper hand and at most they only represent the voices of a section of xenophobic people.
Seeing this situation, the top executives of NBC were secretly delighted.
Because they invited Su Chen just to take advantage of his current unparalleled popularity, and the reason they offered such a high appearance fee was to attract attention and create hype.
If Su Chen was offered one million dollars for his appearance fee, would anyone still pay attention to and discuss this matter?
Is it still possible to create such high levels of popularity and topicality as it is now?
Obviously, their goal has now been achieved.
The attention of the entire network continued to be focused on NBC.
In the long run, won’t NBC’s influence and industry status increase?
It depends on how high the ratings will be for tomorrow night's show "Let's Dance".
But what is certain is that the ratings are higher than previous episodes, that's it.
in the country.
This move by NBC immediately attracted the attention of major video platforms.
After all, when Su Chen went to perform overseas, he was the center of attention in China, and he was the "hope of the whole village." It was a good business opportunity that could not be missed.
Just look at Su Chen’s previous trip to the Asia-Pacific Music Festival and his trip to Korea and you will know.
If you get the broadcasting rights, you can make a lot of money!
So major video platforms immediately contacted NBC.
NBC certainly welcomes this.
You can make money while increasing the influence of your own brand and program, so why not do it!
Therefore, under the leadership of NBC, major video platforms such as Youku, iQiyi, Tencent Video, etc. held an online video conference and all parties launched an auction.
In the end, it was the wealthy Tencent Video that won the exclusive domestic broadcasting rights for 10 million Chinese yuan.
After this wave of operations, all parties can be said to be happy.
NBC directly recovered 10 million.
Although this 10 million is not worth the 10 million they paid.
But it is no exaggeration to say that this money is extra money they earn.
Domestic fans gave even more praise to Tencent Video's operation.
"Great! We can finally watch Chen Ge's performance on NBC at the same time!"
“Like this Tencent video!”
"Thank you, Brother Chen! Thank you Tencent Video!"
"I never thought I would receive such good news so soon! Before, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to see Brother Chen's performance as we are so far away from each other."
"I'm already looking forward to what kind of performance Brother Chen will put on in Let's Dance!"
“…”
You know, Su Chen's dance performance has never disappointed fans, whether it is in domestic dance variety shows or in Korean dance variety shows.
And every time we can innovate.
What kind of performance will Brother Chen bring to everyone this time?
