Entertainment: Top Agents

Liang Lin, who returned to Shanghai from Qiongnan Province, was going to the company to discuss cooperation the next day.

Quite simply,"Dead Date" is also popular overseas.

I don’t know about the situation in Europe and the United States, but it is quite popular in Asia.

This drama is very popular in many countries in Southeast Asia such as the Han Kingdom, the Island Kingdom, the Tai Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom.

In fact, Liang Lin didn't think it was an exaggeration when he saw this situation.

This TV series was produced and broadcast by Xiangjiang 14 years ago and became popular all over Asia.

Have you ever watched those urban fantasy dramas from Han Kingdom?

Needless to say, the urban fantasy themes of Han Country were not created by them.

The theme of urban fantasy happens to be Xiangjiang Window

《"My Date with a Zombie" was filmed in 1997 and aired in 1998.

In other words, the urban fantasy theme of Zhongguo already had the influence of the 1990s Xiangjiang movies and TV series on Hanguo in the 1990s. No need to say more.

Therefore, in countries such as Han, Dao and Tai, many viewers like to watch TV series and movies of Zhongguo. However, due to the decline of the Hong Kong film industry in the 2000s, there are a lot less of them. , now Liang Lin comes out with the drama"I Have a Date with a Zombie".

If Hu Ge and Liu Yifei collaborate for the second time, it will not only be a"five-three-three" hit.

It is also very popular in Asia. After watching it, many Asian countries said it was very interesting.

This TV series was also created with Liang Lin's huge investment, making the special effects even more beautiful and cool.

This also allows current audiences to see new modern fantasy-themed works.

Because of this, TV stations or Internet platforms from several countries came to Respawn Entertainment to negotiate for the rights to this TV series.

Especially when it comes to exporting to cold countries, Liang Lin has to talk about it.

If he remembered correctly, many Zhongguo TV series were very popular in Hanguo.

"Sword and Sword 1" was also very popular in the Cold Country back then, and Liu Yifei was also very popular in the Cold Country.

Now the TV series produced by the original cast of"Sword and Sword 1" is of course expected by the audience and fans in the cold country.

Not only this, he also remembered that"Nirvana in Fire" was also very popular when it was broadcast in Han Country.

Even a certain mayor of Han Country said in an interview that he likes to watch"Nirvana in Fire".

How popular is this show? When this drama was broadcast on Zhonghua TV Channel in Han Kingdom, there was a charge. How to charge?"Nirvana in Fire" costs 1,200 Korean won per episode in the Han Kingdom, which is equivalent to 6 yuan 2rmb.

If you watch all the 54 TV series, it will be more than 330 yuan.

Do you understand what this means?

To watch"Nirvana in Fire" in China, you can sign up for a membership for 20 yuan and watch the entire episode.

But if you are in the cold country, you will need 330 yuan to watch it.

As for how much money this show made, Liang Lin didn't know.

But what he remembers is that this drama was the seventh most purchased TV drama in the cold country at that time.

It was also the only loyal TV series among the top ten most purchased TV series in the Han Kingdom at that time.

You should know this. Not only do many people in China like to watch Korean dramas, but many high-quality loyal TV dramas are actually exported to the Han Kingdom, but many people don’t know it.

……

"President Liang, US$150,000 is too high. This is not a price we can afford."

The purchasers of Hanguo TV Station were in a very difficult position.

This time they came to purchase this drama, and they really liked the setting of this drama.

However, the price charged by the paper company for"Default" was too high.

"Mr. Jin, you have to understand that we invested 2 million RMB per episode in this drama."

"150,000 US dollars is more than 1.1 million RMB."

Of course Han Guolai's buyer also knows, but he also knows that this drama will not only be sold to one TV station, but will be sold to several countries.

"Liang Sang, I think this is a bit high. How about 50,000 US dollars per episode?"

The people in Xiaoriguo are really ruthless, 50,000 US dollars per episode? How dare you say that?"

Liang Lin smiled and said,"We won't talk about this cooperation anymore. We won't give it away.""

Xiao Riguo is very embarrassed. He didn't expect the other party to be so determined.

In fact, he has also watched this drama. It is really good and very marketable.

The key is that the opening of the TV series was filmed in their island country.

Although it is only It's only for about two episodes, but that doesn't matter

"President Liang, how about $100,000 per episode?"

"This is the highest copyright fee we can accept. If it is any higher, then we really have no choice but to not cooperate."The buyer from Han Country has made it clear

"100,000? You must know that you sell Korean dramas to us, Zhongguo. As long as your popular Korean dramas are sold to Zhongguo, the minimum price is 150,000 US dollars per episode, and some are even 200,000 US dollars per episode."

"Now our popular drama is sold to you, Hanguo, for US$150,000 per episode."

"Why, are you reluctant to do it now?"Liang Lin's question made Han Guo's buyer helpless.

Although he was helpless, he did not give up. Instead, he said:"But you also know that the length of our Korean dramas is about 60 minutes per episode, and your Zhongguo TV series , only about 40 minutes."

Hey, don't mention it, it's true.

Two episodes of Korean dramas are as long as three episodes of Zhongguo TV series.

Some Korean dramas, in one or two episodes, will also have 70-minute or 80-minute episodes. The length of the episode.

Therefore, it is understandable that the price of Korean dramas exported to Zhongguo is high.

Moreover, most Korean dramas have more than ten episodes, and there are very few that have more than 20 episodes.

But Zhongguo’s TV series? Those with less than 30 episodes Very few, mostly with more than 40 episodes. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

50 or 60 episodes can easily go up.

This is also why the price of Zhongguo TV series exported overseas is relatively low, because The time is short

"OK, $100,000 an episode."Liang Lin didn't fight anymore, because the reason given by the other party was very correct.

In addition, Liang Lin also had a plan for the price of exporting overseas.

His minimum requirement was 70,000 US dollars per episode, which is lower than this price , then it won’t be sold.

But 100,000, this is what he wants to fight for.

But why did he ask for 150,000 an episode before? Isn’t this to have room for bargaining.

In this case, the drama"Default" 35 episodes, sold to an overseas platform, that is 3.5 million US dollars, converted to about 24 million.

But it is not just a cold country, there are also TV stations and platforms in good countries who want to buy it.

Sold to a foreign platform The platform is 24 million, and selling ten platforms is 2.4.

Why doesn't he do such a cooperation?

And this is just one of the dramas, there will be more in the future...

What we are talking about today are just a few platforms, but they have also made more than 100 million.

Originally, by selling it to the goose factory, Liang Lin could recover the cost and make a small profit.

But now we have negotiated several more platforms, and the copyright fee has collected more than 100 million.

Calculating it this way, the tens of millions he invested to produce this drama have earned him nearly 500 million in copyright fees so far.

The ten-year copyright sold to Goose Factory is 350 million, plus the 6 platforms negotiated this time. According to 24 million per platform, that is 1.44, which adds up to 4.94.

From this 4.94, 20% of the income tax is deducted, that is, 98 million is deducted, leaving 396 million. From this 396 million, a cost of 100 million is also deducted, and the final result is 296 million.

So far, the TV series has not been finished filming, and it has already confirmed that it will earn 296 million after recovering the cost.

"Calculating this, it seems that it is faster to make money making TV series than making movies?"

"For movies, the post-production process is relatively long, but this is a good TV series subject"

"If you shoot and broadcast at the same time, the production cycle will not be long and you can realize it quickly."

With this idea, Liang Lin is planning whether to shoot the next movie directly? He has already made 300 million yuan now. If he finishes filming this movie and shoots the second one immediately, he will definitely still make money. A few hundred million?

Also, what if other online dramas are arranged in this way?

But it is unrealistic. Only modern urban love dramas can be filmed and broadcast simultaneously.

Otherwise, the post-production of costume dramas will be longer than those of longer productions. cycle.

And fairy tale dramas are not suitable, because the special effects of fairy tale dramas require more time.

But modern urban dramas must be hit dramas to be able to sell at such a price.

What's more, this time it is so profitable , or because the copyright sold to Goose Factory is for ten years, not a few years.

In other words, as for the drama"Zombie 1", in the next ten years, there will be no way to make money through copyright in China. , we can only try to sell it overseas.

……

2.5"Think about it, what kind of hit TV series can be filmed and broadcast simultaneously and still become a hit show?"

"As long as it is a hit drama and can be filmed and broadcast at the same time, then this drama can make money quickly."

"Although I have made several hundred million now, funds are no longer so tight."

"But if you want to fight against Huayi, your capital is still a little bit low now."

"In my own words, although there is some improvement, it is not enough."

"Although this does not mean that you do not have to spend money to fight against Huayi, but if you want to invest in some works, you still need money."Liang Lin, who was in the office, fell into thinking.

He was thinking about what TV series could make money quickly.

Ancient Swords and Legends? This drama can't be filmed, produced and broadcast at the same time.

Hua Qiangu? This one won't work either, and The same goes for the one above.

Three Lives, Three Worlds? No, it’s all the same.

Modern dramas that are hit...but it seems that there are too few hit dramas in modern cities.

A script with a theme like"A Deadly Appointment" can really be used It is said that it is something that can only be met by chance.

Unless...unless…

"Korean drama?!"Suddenly thinking of this, Liang Lin's eyes lit up.

"Yes, why have you forgotten those phenomenal Korean dramas?".
