"Okay, I'll leave this part to you. Then go and rest first, and help me call Zhang Gang over!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile.
After Huang Yilin left, Zhang Gang arrived after a long journey
But now Zhang Yicheng has become more serious. He wants to fully grasp the changes that have taken place in the company during the month he left.
"William, let's start with you first. Have the results of the overseas copyright negotiations for "Destined to Love You" come out now?" Zhang Yicheng asked.
"Return to the boss!" William smiled faintly. He was already familiar with this matter. His first job when he came to Tianlan Entertainment to take over Tianlan Film and Television was to take over "Destined to Love You" left by Zhang Yicheng.
Overseas copyright issues
"The results have come out. Domestically, Hunan Satellite TV has bought out the domestic broadcast rights of "Destined to Love You" for 20 million!" William said
Zhang Yicheng nodded, this price is not bad, although Zhang Yicheng also knows that the profit that Hunan Satellite TV can get in the end is at least double this, but there is no way. The mainland is not like Hong Kong and Taiwan, private TV stations are not allowed to exist, so this
Zhang Yicheng is jealous of the money and there is nothing he can do about it!
"In Hong Kong, TVB bought out the exclusive broadcast rights of "Destined to Love You" in Hong Kong for 8 million, and also sold it in Macau for 5 million!" William said
Zhang Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The previous TV series version and movie version of "Latent" had a total investment of 40 million, which was like a big mountain on Zhang Yicheng's heart, but now Zhang Yicheng actually can't spare the money.
, and even owes a lot of debt. If this money is injected in time, Zhang Yicheng can temporarily alleviate the financial tension.
"In Japan, we sold the copyright of "Destined to Love You" to TV Tokyo, and the buyout price was 33 million yuan!" William said
Hearing this price, Zhang Yicheng had already made an estimate in his mind, but he still had to sigh. The Japanese people are really rich. No wonder Hollywood blockbusters want to go to Japan. Japan is the world's second largest film market.
The head is really not blown out for nothing.
"South Korea just reached an agreement with us the day before yesterday. KBS paid 15 million to buy out the exclusive broadcast rights of "Fated to Love You" in South Korea. In addition, they also promised that it will be broadcast during prime time. In order to achieve this,
With this condition, we dropped the price from 20 million to 15 million!" William said
Zhang Yicheng nodded. He was still very satisfied with William's handling. However, he did not expect that those Korean stickmen would still give in. Originally, he had also made plans not to broadcast it in South Korea. The worst he could do was not broadcast it.
If those Korean stickmen dare to stumble him on this issue, then he can do the same in reverse. If the Koreans use administrative means to interfere with the broadcast of "Destined to Love You", then in turn he can also use it domestically.
He used the same method and used his influence to stop Korean dramas from being broadcast in China.
Zhang Yicheng's character is like this. If the other party doesn't make it easy for him, he won't make it easy for the other party either!
But in the end, the Koreans compromised. From this point of view, in the face of real interests, the national interests and cultural protection that the Koreans insist on are all a joke.
"What about Southeast Asia?" Zhang Yicheng asked. Although there are many countries in Southeast Asia, Zhang Yicheng lumped them together because compared with the rich situation in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia has always been a poor area.
, has not changed much since ancient times. Although they are rich in resources, they just cannot develop. After the Four Asian Tigers, what emerged in Southeast Asia? The Four Asian Tigers became even more popular after the 1997 financial crisis.
A complete joke
"There are not as many TV rights in Southeast Asia as there are in Northeast Asia, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and some TV rights in Thailand. In total, 34 million were sold!" William said, "In other words, "Hit"
The TV series "Destined to Love You" has sold overseas copyrights for a total of about 115 million yuan!"
Even Zhang Yicheng felt a little shocked. He didn't expect that "Destined to Love You" could sell such a high copyright fee, 115 million. Plus the original copyright fee in Taiwan,
As well as some peripheral products, this "Destined to Love You" actually brought Zhang Yicheng a profit of about 200 million yuan, and Zhang Yicheng's investment was only 20 million yuan.
What’s even more frightening is that Zhang Yicheng’s return on investment in “Destined to Love You” was actually as high as over 1,000%.
This is an astonishing number. This low-investment and high-return model is not available to everyone. If the return of a general TV series can be 100%, it is an excellent and very profitable TV series.
If it were 1,000%, William himself could no longer imagine what kind of exaggerated achievement it would be.
But he didn't know that for Zhang Yicheng, the most important thing was not the money he earned, but the success in spreading his tentacles throughout Asia through "Destined to Love You" and taking this opportunity to spread the word about China
Culture, why can only Hallyu be popular? Hualiu has been silent for so long, it is time to rise. There is a saying that first-class companies sell standards, second-rate companies sell technology, and third-rate companies sell products.
And now Zhang Yicheng wants to create a standard, one that belongs to Zhang Yicheng, to Tianlan Entertainment, and to the entire Chinese entertainment industry, just like the Korean dramas that were very popular in the past few years, when Hallyu became
Standard, Korean things represent fashion and coolness!
So now Zhang Yicheng plans to counterattack, counterattack the entire Asian entertainment industry, and instill the standards of the Chinese entertainment industry into the entire Asia, and even the entire world. Of course, this is only a long-term goal, and Zhang Yicheng puts it in front of himself so that he can continue to strive.
A goal cannot be achieved in the short term!
However, the success of "Destined to Love You" in Asia can be considered a very good beginning. As long as we have this beginning, many things that follow will be much simpler!
