Chapter 269 Zuo Le who protects the body and golden body
May 16, 2021, the day after the finale of "Bright Sword".
As soon as the news that "Bright Sword" broke 6, online and offline went into a complete carnival. Major online platforms, people's livelihood, entertainment print media, and TV platforms all reported the matter to a greater or lesser extent.
A true nationwide hit.
It is a great honor for a TV series "Bright Sword" to have such an influence.
But the surprise was not over yet. Shortly after "Bright Sword" ended, the leaders of the national publicity department found Shanhe and listed "Bright Sword" as a 100th anniversary gift film and television work, and it was also a key example.
As soon as the publicity outlet was contacted, CCTV found Zuo Le and paid a large sum of money to win the second round of rebroadcast rights for "Bright Sword".
In fact, several senior executives at CCTV were almost regretting it. When the Zhang Mei incident happened, they wanted to poach Zuo Le. According to the time, Zuo Le was preparing for "Bright Sword" at that time.
It's a pity that they didn't take the pulse right and Zuo Le didn't agree to CCTV's solicitation, otherwise "Bright Sword" would have been theirs.
Given the size of CCTV and the fact that its audience mostly likes themes with main themes, if "Bright Sword" is premiered on CCTV, the ratings are expected to exceed 8.
What a great achievement.
Not to mention that now "Bright Sword" has been favored by the higher authorities and established as a model for its 100th anniversary. It makes my heartache to think about it.
However, it is too late to regret now. After Fang Weimin came to power, the relationship between Zuo Le and Dongshantai improved and became even closer than before.
Poaching is not that simple...
………
CCTV reluctantly left with the second round rebroadcast rights of "Bright Sword".
As soon as he left, South Korea's SXS TV station came to visit.
This SXS is the South Korean TV station that originally purchased the overseas rights to "Seven Swords".
Previously, "Seven Swords" was very popular throughout East Asia, which gave them a lot of benefits. This time I heard that Shanhe had filmed "Seven Swords 2", so I contacted Shanhe and wanted to win "Seven Swords 2" again.
》overseas copyright.
As a result, the copyright for "Seven Swords 2" was still being negotiated, but its negotiator Kim Won-soo was interested in "Bright Sword" again.
He was the one who came to buy "Seven Swords" last time. At that time, Zuo Le recommended the Traffic Stop Part II to him in a bad way. Unexpectedly, this guy actually bought it.
Later, the Underground Traffic Station Part Two was aired in South Korea, and it is said that it became quite popular. South Korean audiences had a very high sense of identification with this kind of comedy that scandalized Japan.
It is precisely because of this that Kim Won-soo took a fancy to "Bright Sword" again this time and planned to take it away together with "Seven Swords 2".
However, with the current achievements and influence of "Bright Sword", it will never be as cheap as the original "Traffic Stop" duology.
Kim Won-soo and the top management of South Korea's SXS TV station also understand this. Regardless of performance and influence, Traffic Stop Part II is a sitcom after all, with a small audience and is not very suitable for South Korean audiences.
But "Bright Sword" is different. It is a serious drama, more watchable and suitable for the public, and more suitable for South Korean audiences.
After discussion, South Korea's SXS TV station offered a price of US$10 million.
This price is not low. "Seven Swords" had already made a name for itself in Japan, but South Korea finally paid 11 million US dollars to acquire the copyright in South Korea.
And this time, the other party only offered 17 million US dollars for "Seven Swords 2". Now they offered 10 million US dollars for "Bright Sword" in one go, which can be said to be quite sincere.
Zuo Le was reluctantly satisfied, but still told Yan Kui and Jin Yuanxiu to work harder.
Now it is no longer a complete buyer's market, and Shanhe can only passively accept it in most cases.
Because "Seven Swords" has made great achievements in Asia, and the country has continued to develop over the years, the network of people has long been different from what it used to be.
Nowadays, Zuo Le has more than just SXS as a cooperation channel in South Korea.
Kim Won-soo also understands this truth. He himself is still very optimistic about the prospects of the two TV series "Shan He", so he finally made certain concessions.
"Seven Swords 2" received 18 million U.S. dollars, and "Bright Sword" received 12 million U.S. dollars, for a total of 30 million U.S. dollars, to obtain the copyrights of these two TV series in South Korea.
Of course, since "Seven Swords 2" has not yet premiered in China, the contract stipulates that SXS must follow China's lead in broadcasting "Seven Swords 2"
SXS TV station's schedule for the premiere of Tonghua Country is to be delayed by at least one week or 10 episodes.
As for "Bright Sword", since it has already been broadcast in China, there are no restrictions in this regard.
The two parties signed the contract, and Shanhe immediately announced it to the outside world, which immediately caused a sensation.
The last time the TV series "Seven Swords" was sold to Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, it was only worth US$36 million.
This time, the two dramas "Seven Swords 2" and "Bright Sword" have grossed 30 million US dollars in South Korea alone. This achievement has undoubtedly launched a new shot in the export of Chinese dramas.
Zuo Le, who had been in the limelight because of the 100th anniversary, is now back in the spotlight.
According to accurate information, a big boss from above has already issued a message to let Zuo Le attend the double meeting.
In fact, there have been various rumors about this matter before, but I heard that because of Zuo Le's age and some other reasons, the authorities have never confirmed it.
This time, thanks to the success of "Bright Sword" and overseas exports, things were settled instantly.
As the old saying goes, blessings never come in pairs and misfortunes never come alone, but when it comes to Zuo Le, good things come one after another.
As soon as the news about entering the Double Conference was received, the China TV Drama Association Federation sent an official letter to Zuo Le, appointing him as the vice president of the TV Drama Association Federation.
Speaking of which, this federation can be considered a wallflower.
I had always ignored Zuo Le before, but later the Dongshan branch couldn't stand it anymore, so it admitted Zuo Le and gave him a director position.
The top management of the federation didn't say anything about this, as if they didn't know Zuo Le existed.
Even though Zuo Le has become a god in the field of television, the TV Drama Association only sent a text message to express its congratulations and nothing else.
It was still the Dongshan branch. After discussions at a meeting, Zuo Le was elected as the vice president of the Dongshan branch. If Zuo Le had not declined, he would even have a position in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Therefore, Zuo Le and the General Association had always been estranged from each other, but now that the other party saw that Zuo Le was so popular and so popular with the emperor, they directly gave him the title of vice-president.
The level of this position is not low. To a certain extent, I can give suggestions to some of the above industries, and I also have the right to dialogue with leaders of relevant departments.
Sitting in this position, Zuo Le's grades and resume are sufficient, but his qualifications may still be lacking.
But Zuo Le was not stupid enough to turn him away. This position of vice president was still very beneficial to him.
If you don't have enough qualifications, just save up slowly. Just keep a low profile in the early stage. There are several vice-presidents anyway. As long as you don't deliberately promote them, they won't be noticeable for a while.
As a result, Vice President Zuo took office quietly. In addition to the previous double meetings, Zuo Le has already achieved a small success in protecting the golden body.
If last year, the Golden Phoenix Award still dared to stir up troubles, after Zuo Le was successfully upgraded this year, he would not dare to have trouble with Zuo Le again thanks to Chen Hanzhu's courage...
