Chapter 537: Comics Go Global
The next moment.
Xingyi received a request .
After seeing NBC's sincere offer, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun informed Su Chen of the price without much hesitation.
Just 20% of the subscription revenue?
The prices offered by other U.S. platforms are either 50-50 or 60-40.
It really can't compare with NBC's price.
Seeing this situation, Su Chen expressed his opinion directly.
"Wait two days and see."
"If there is no higher offer, then sell the rights to NBC."
You should know that the subscription share that Bili Comics Platform gives to Su Chen is only 90%.
Su Chen's influence in the Ugly Country cannot be compared with that in China.
Under such circumstances, NBC is willing to give 80% of the profits, which shows its sincerity.
Besides, Su Chen is a nostalgic person.
Under similar conditions, Su Chen still prefers to choose his old partner.
We have been cooperating with NBC for such a long time. Since the conditions they offer are not offered by other American platforms, we will continue to cooperate with them.
at the same time.
An emergency meeting is being held at HBO TV in the United States.
Seeing that many platforms in the United States have made offers to Su Chenxingyi, HBO can no longer sit still.
After a series of beatings.
HBO executives also realized that Su Chen's works were very popular in the U.S. market.
In particular, when the top executives of HBO saw that their main competitor NBC had risen directly from a declining TV station to an unrivaled television industry giant with the help of Su Chen's works and influence, they felt an even greater crisis.
Therefore, it is imperative to seize the agency rights of Su Chen's comic works this time.
"I suggest giving Su Chen a 70% share of the profits from his comics!"
"Because the price offered by NBC will definitely not be lower than this ratio!"
But such a proposal was immediately opposed:
"No! In Ugly Country, even meritorious cartoonists can only get this much profit share! Why can Su Chen get so much?"
"Yes! We can't ruin the market!"
"If we offered that kind of price, we would be criticized by the ugly Chinese netizens!"
“…”
But of course, at this time, the majority of people still support this proposal.
"Don't forget how NBC rose to prominence!"
"Business is business, don't talk nonsense!"
"Making money and improving HBO's brand influence is king!"
"Just look at the sales and you will know that we will definitely not lose money on this deal!"
“…”
After a heated debate, the meeting finally reached a resolution.
Just give Su Chen a 30:70 split and strive to obtain the copyright of Su Chen's comic works.
Benati accepted the assignment from senior management as business manager.
Immediately contacted Su Chen Xingyi.
"Hello! I am the business representative of HBO TV in the United States."
"We want to introduce the exclusive rights to all of Su Chen's comics in the Ugly Country. I think we can have a good talk."
Zhong Lei's assistant didn't know what to say when he received the call.
The call was directly transferred to Zhong Lei.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun received the news and smiled at each other.
Sure enough, other TV stations in the Ugly Country are relatively stingy.
This 70%-30% split is the highest offer they have received other than from NBC.
But what can we do about it?
It still can't compare with NBC's offer.
So Zhong Lei responded personally.
"Sorry! The copyright of Mr. Su Chen's comics has been sold to someone else."
“Your offer is too low!”
“…”
Benati was very depressed after hearing this reply.
Is a 70-70 split too low?
In the Ugly Country, this is a treatment that only meritorious cartoonists can enjoy.
HBO is showing great sincerity by giving it to you now, okay?
wrong!
Who on earth is this person who made such an exaggerated offer of 30% to 70%?
Then, Benati was shocked by another piece of information revealed by Zhong Lei.
But only a few seconds later.
Benati guessed the answer:
It must be NBC!
In the Ugly Country, no platform other than NBC would be willing to offer a price more exaggerated than 30:70.
So shameless!
This NBC is so shameless!
They actually disrupted the market conditions time and time again, offering Su Chen a price far higher than the normal level!
After finishing the call with Zhong Lei.
Benati immediately reported the situation to HBO executives.
“Shameless!!!”
“Scum!!!”
After hearing this information, HBO executives complained to NBC .
No! This can't be the end of it!
The ugly face of NBC must be exposed!
Since I can't get it, you can't expect to be at peace even if you get it!
Now, as long as they expose the inside story of NBC's acquisition of the copyright of Su Chen's comics in advance, they can cause damage to this competitor.
Although it is unlikely to bring down NBC, it would be nice to be able to take a bite out of them!
Now NBC has become a major obstacle standing in the way of HBO. We must use every opportunity and means to fight it!
Yes! That's it!
So, not long after.
Similar comments have appeared on major social networks in the United States:
"NBC has once again turned its back on U.S. television!"
"NBC is the biggest shame in the U.S. television industry!"
"NBC acquired the copyright of Su Chen's comics at a 20:80 split, or even an even more outrageous price!"
"NBC has put the Ugly Country's meritorious cartoonists to death!"
“…”
These news immediately caused a sensation on the U.S. Internet.
Because there are quite a few ugly Chinese platforms that have made offers for Su Chen's comic works.
They were still eagerly looking forward to Su Chen Xingyi handing over the comic copyright to them.
But now NBC has once again ruined the market and acquired the copyright of Su Chen's comics at an unbelievable price.
This immediately aroused public outrage in the U.S. television industry.
They all launched verbal attacks on NBC's actions.
"Strongly call for a unanimous boycott of NBC!"
"Get out of the ugly American TV circle, you garbage N BC!"
"NBC has repeatedly disrupted the market and has been punished for no reason. My dear friends, it's time to pick up your keyboards and say 'No' to NBC!"
"80-20 split? Where is the dignity of the ugly country?"
“…”
Such things, unsurprisingly, resonated with and echoed among the group of angry young people.
"No matter whether Su Chen's comics are good or not, NBC's behavior must be condemned and punished!"
"The entertainment industry of Ugly Country has been leading the world for a hundred years. Where is your pride? Have you been pressed to the ground and rubbed hard by Su Chen?"
"NBC has repeatedly abandoned the dignity of the Ugly Country and deserves to be condemned by everyone!"
"We strongly call for a collective boycott of NBC! We cannot sit idly by and watch such scum continue to run rampant!"
“…”
At this time, NBC was being accused of many crimes.
This made Su Chen 's ugly fans and NBC's die-hard fans unable to accept.
They fought back.
In the Ugly Country, a new online battle has started again.
Such developments were quickly reported to NBC.
What?
Have we obtained the copyright to Suchen's comics?
How come we don’t know?
Because at this time, the official response from Su Chenxingyi was: it is still under review.
Anyone who understands knows that Su Chenxingyi is waiting for a good price.
Want to get a higher quote.
So in fact, at this time, the copyright of Su Chen's comics has not yet been determined.
How come it seems like everyone in the country knows now that the copyright of Su Chen’s comics has been acquired by NBC?
Something that the whole world knows, but NBC is the only one that doesn't know it?
This left NBC's top executives speechless.
But think about it for a moment.
They realized that this must be a colleague in the American television industry who was taking his anger out on NBC because he had failed in the bidding.
This also means that, so far, NBC's offer is the highest, and it is something that other platforms in the United States are unwilling to offer.
That is to say.
The copyright of Su Chen's comics has been determined in such a bizarre way?
at the same time.
China, on the other side of the ocean.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were in Su Chen's office, summarizing the quotes from major platforms in the United States.
"Xiao Chen, most of the major platforms in the Ugly Country have sent us quotations."
"At present, the offer from NBC is definitely the highest, and no other platform can offer it."
Su Chen took a few glances at Chouguo’s online updates.
Then nodded:
"Then give it to NBC!"
At this time, all the Ugly Chinese platforms that were willing to make an offer to him had already made their offer.
After being rejected, if anyone was willing to raise their bid, they would have already done so.
But now look at those ugly Chinese platforms, what have they done?
They are concentrating their efforts on attacking NBC, which also means that the price NBC offers is something they cannot offer.
The result is already obvious. In the United States, NBC's offer is already the highest possible offer.
Now is the right time to make the decision.
"Um!"
"Then we will respond to NBC immediately."
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun actually had the same idea.
But the final decision-making power is in Su Chen's hands, and this must be made clear.
"The copyrights for other regions are also under negotiation. We will keep you updated on any progress."
"This time we will definitely help you to fully open up the global market."
Su Chen just nodded slightly.
No more nonsense.
…
At this time, an emergency response meeting was being held in NBC's conference room.
Now that the situation has become so serious, we cannot do nothing.
The Internet trend in the country needs to be dealt with, and Su Chenxingyi also needs further follow-up.
“Could this be a trick by other TV stations?”
Someone raised this question.
After all, the market appeal of Su Chen's works in the Ugly Country has long been proven.
Everyone knows that whoever gets Su Chen's work is equivalent to getting a cash cow.
In this case, what's the point of raising the quotation if there is no urgent need and engaging in a network war?
Were they blaming NBC to make you complacent? Could it be that they have secretly increased their offer to Su Chenxingyi?
This is actually what quite a number of people are worried about.
After all, industry competition is fierce.
NBC has already gained a lot of benefits from Su Chen's works.
It has already become the public enemy of all major platforms in the United States.
At this time, their counterparts in the Ugly Country were not surprised by anything they did.
Of course, some people agree and some people disagree.
"From the sentiments expressed online, it is clear that other Ugly Country colleagues are no longer willing or able to raise their bids higher!"
"So at this point, we have already secured victory! We just need to wait for good news from Su Chen Xingyi!"
“But what if this is a trick by other platforms?”
"At least we should communicate further with Su Chenxingyi, otherwise, we might be in a passive position!"
“…”
Da da da da…
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.
I saw a man coming up to the station master with a happy look on his face:
“Good news!”
"Reporting to the Director, Su Chenxingyi has finally accepted our offer!"
"We just need to complete the final signing procedures!"
Hearing this.
The noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Then, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
The scene was thunderous again and exploded.
Originally, everyone was still worried whether this matter would change due to vicious competition among peers.
But now, Su Chen Xingyi has officially announced their victory.
Then, the next thing will be easy.
"Very good!"
Hearing these words, the master could no longer hold back his expression and immediately smiled.
"Immediately have the Corporate Communications Department announce this news to the world!"
“…”
At this time, all kinds of angry young people and internet trolls are vigorously attacking NBC.
In their eyes, NBC is the enemy.
"NBC has thrown away all the pride of the Ugly Chinese! We strongly recommend that everyone boycott it!"
"A country as ugly as China actually praises a Chinese work so highly. This phenomenon is all caused by NBC!"
"If you know Su Chen's history, you will find that Su Chen is actually a vampire! Just wait and see, even an 80-20 split may not be enough to satisfy Su Chen's greed!"
"Why should we introduce Su Chen's works? Introducing Su Chen's works is a shame for us!"
“…”
Just at this moment.
I don’t know who sent the message at an inappropriate time.
"Oh no! NBC has officially announced that they have acquired the copyright to Suchen's comics!"
This caused the already extremely heated internet to explode even more.
Su Chen's ugly fans and NBC's supporters were happy at this time.
"Great! I can finally read Brother Chen's comics!"
"It is said that Brother Chen's comics have created incredible results in China. They will definitely be a big hit in the Ugly Country!"
"I'm so excited. I've been waiting for a long time! I wonder when NBC will be able to release Suchen's Boonie Bears and other three comics."
