Chapter 120: The Seven Swords

Before the award ceremony ended, news about the Golden Phoenix Awards began to appear on major online platforms.

"The 2018 Golden Phoenix Award ended, "Seven Swords" had a bumper harvest, and won the 10th prize to become the biggest winner"

"Red Carpet Show: Descendants of the Seven Swords VS Demon Sect Executives, Who is more popular?"

"The Strongest Newcomer in History!Gu Xiaoge Won Three Awards in a Row, Overshadowing the Queen"

"The counterattack of the Demon Sect, Ma Sanniang and Dugu Xiao won all the actor awards in "Seven Swords"

"Three-time nominated for Best Screenwriter, Pang Yidian, what qualifications do you have to bark in front of Zuo Le"

《.........》

The already popular "Seven Swords", after the Golden Phoenix Award slaughtered all sides, was crowned a god in one fell swoop with the blessing of many awards, and officially ranked among the pinnacles of Chinese martial arts film and television.

Later, Huaguo mentioned martial arts-themed TV series, "Seven Swords" is definitely a mountain that cannot be bypassed.

.........

After returning from eastern Guangdong Province, a celebration party was held inside Shanhe to celebrate the bumper harvest of the Golden Phoenix Award.

After that, everyone went their separate ways, those who should make movies went to make movies, and those who should go to variety shows went to variety shows, and Zuo Le took Yan Ni, Fan Min and others back to Changqing Film and Television Base to continue filming "Wulin Gaiden".

In this way, the time slowly came to 2019.

On January 8, a text message from Dongying NKN TV, which won the overseas copyright of "Seven Swords".

After dubbing, "Seven Swords" was launched in Dongying a week ago, and the results are quite outstanding.

The premiere score was 0.8, breaking 1 in two days, and now the average rating of the whole show has reached 1.6 a week later.

"Seven Swords" swept Dongying and became one of the hottest TV series in Dongying in January.

(ps: I checked the ratings data of the island country, and it's not the same as ours, if it's too messy to copy, for everyone's convenience, the book is directly consistent with the Chinese model)

"Seven Swords" continued the popularity of China in Dongying, and NKN TV was very happy, so they specially contacted Shanhe and wanted to invite the protagonists in the play to come to Dongying to promote, especially Gu Xiaoge, Yuan Ye, and Shui Miaomiao.

They are now very popular in Dongying and are highly sought after.

Some Dongying netizens in the second secondary school also gave everyone a nickname with Dongying characteristics based on the roles of Gu Xiaoge and the three in the drama "Seven Swords".

Hong Miao, played by Yuan Ye, is called the "Unyielding Burning Revenge Boy" because of the red body of the weapon Changhong Sword and the special effect of wielding firelight.

Shui Miao Miao is beautiful, and the special effect of the exercise is ice, so she was named [The Girl Chosen by God の Ice Princess] Lord].

Gu Xiaoge, the domineering young master of the Demon Sect, is called [Dark Empire's future fierce king].

After Zuo Le learned of these nicknames, he almost died of laughter, and then called Gu Xiaoge, the "future fierce king", and Yuan Ye, the "unyielding and burning revenge boy", respectively.

asked him if he had time to play in Dongying, and many Dongying girls were looking forward to the two of them.

As for Shui Miaomiao, because she just went to a crew in the capital to film, I'm afraid she won't be able to take a leave.

In addition, Zuo Le also considered that she was a girl, after all, Dongying was in a foreign country, and the mountains and rivers were not familiar with the place where he lived, so if something happened, he couldn't deal with it at all.

So what Zuo Le means is to let the people of Shanhe take Gu Xiaoge and Yuan Ye to explore the situation first, contact and arrange with NKN TV station, find out the way, stand firm, and it is not too late for Shui Miaomiao to go again.

And it turns out that Zuo Le is completely too much of Dongying's small movies and cranky.

Dongying is not as messy as he thinks, and NKN TV will not let their guests go wrong.

Gu Xiaoge and Yuan Ye, who were invited to go, except for some of the publicity work, were treated by NKN TV all the way to eat, play and entertain, and had a good taste of the customs of Dongying.

At the same time, the news that "Seven Swords" is popular in Dongying has also spread in China, and many netizens are honored.

In the past, Dongying dramas were widely loved in China, but now it is finally the turn of national dramas to counterattack the island country.

Lift your breath!

There are international students studying in Dongying, and when Gu Xiaoge and Yuan Ye attended the promotional activities, they were frantically surrounded and sought after by Dongying fans, and they were on the top of the hot search in just half an hour.

Countless people tactically looked up and praised, what is an international superstar!

............

Gu Xiaoge and the two did not run in vain, under the propaganda offensive of NKN, the two of them circled a wave of fans in Dongying, and also drove the ratings of "Seven Swords" in Dongying.

In late January, when "Seven Swords" was approaching its finale, the average ratings of its whole drama in Dongying were close to breaking 2, and the results were overwhelming all TV series in Dongying in January.

Dongying even exclaimed in the media "Rise of the Empire! The Terrifying Red January"

Matsumoto, who was originally interested in buying the overseas copyright of "Family with Children", took advantage of the situation to propose to the senior management of NKN TV to introduce "Family with Children" from Shanhe.

The top management of NKN TV, who had tasted the sweetness of "Seven Swords", immediately agreed to this proposal and assigned Matsumoto Yoshishi to rush to Quancheng overnight to negotiate with Yamakawa.

Zuo Le has nothing to do with this, but the price of this copyright has to rise.

Previously, NKN TV only spent $5 million to buy back a Dongying ratings champion in January and made a lot of money, but this time it was not so good.

In fact, before he came, Matsumoto had already guessed that Shanhe would increase the copyright of "Family with Children" because of the popularity of "Seven Swords" in Dongying.

Therefore, I have been mentally prepared for a long time, and I asked Zuo Le to make a price very calmly.

Zuo Leke will not be polite to Dongying people, and when he comes up, he will directly open his mouth, offering 20 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 140 million Chinese yuan.

This price is obviously unacceptable to Matsumoto Yoshi, "Family with Children" is a sitcom, "Seven Swords" is a martial arts drama, the two genres are completely different, and no one can guarantee that "Family with Children" can reproduce the popularity of "Seven Swords".

It is impossible for him to spend $20 million on a TV series that has been on the air in China for nearly a year.

Therefore, in the face of Zuo Le's lion's big mouth, Matsumoto Yoshishi said that NKN TV could only give up to 6.5 million US dollars.

Zuo Le smiled slightly and didn't care, doing business, bidding all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back.

Everyone grinds slowly.

This grinding lasted for two days, and finally the two sides reached an agreement on the price of 8 million US dollars, and the overseas copyright of "Family with Children" belonged to NKN TV.

The old drama that has been broadcast for a year can still earn more than 50 million (Huayuan), Zuo Le is very happy, but Matsumoto Yoshishi is a little worried.

With his status on NKN TV, $8 million is not a small number, if "Family with Children" pounces, then he will not have good fruit to eat.........

............

Matsumoto Yoshishi worriedly returned to Dongying with the overseas copyright agreement and the finished film of "Family with Children", while Zuo Le ushered in two new waves of guests.

Thanks to the popularity of "Seven Swords", South Korea's SXS TV station and a distribution company in Siam also started to introduce "Seven Swords" to South Korea and Southeast Asia.

Zuo Le naturally welcomed it, and couldn't help but be glad that he kept a hand at the beginning, and only sold the overseas copyright of NKN TV's "Seven Swords", and the copyright of the rest of the places was still in the hands of Shanhe.

Due to the successive successes of "Seven Swords" in China and Dongying, the potential of this drama has been proven, and the copyright price has also risen.

Of course, considering that the resources of "Seven Swords" have spread all over China and Dongying, this price increase will not be too exaggerated.

After a series of negotiations, SXS TV finally won the overseas rights of "Seven Swords" in South Korea at a price of $11 million.

And the Siam distribution company paid $20 million for the overseas rights of "Seven Swords" in all parts of Southeast Asia.

Counting the previous $5 million, the total price of the overseas copyright of "Seven Swords" is 36 million US dollars, which is more than 250 million Chinese dollars, which is the highest overseas copyright price of Chinese TV dramas exported by China in recent years.

Shanhe announced this matter to the public, which immediately caused a sensation in China.

Since the beginning of the century, the Chinese film and television industry has proposed to let local film and television dramas go abroad and spread the seeds of Chinese culture to the world.

However, almost 20 years have passed, and there are very few achievements that can really be made, and most of them are movies, and the export price of overseas rights of domestic TV dramas is more than 1,000 US dollars, which can be counted on one hand.

This time, the overseas copyright of "Seven Swords" sold for a "sky-high price" of 36 million US dollars, the meaning of money is secondary, and more importantly, it proves that domestic dramas can also go abroad and be sought after overseas.

That's a big deal!

If we work hard to improve our national self-confidence, we can even climb to the aspect of improving national self-confidence.........

A number of official media spoke out, once again praising the achievements of "Seven Swords", and even with Zuo Le, it has become a model of half a pacesetter in exporting Chinese culture.

Zuo Le even received a secret report from Chen Changshan that several bigwigs in the province were very satisfied with the outstanding performance of Sunward Pictures since its establishment, and were ready to give key support to Sunward Pictures below, and strive to build Sunward Pictures into a first-class cultural industry that can represent Dongshan Province.

This also means that in the future, the backer behind Shanhe Pictures will not only be Dongshantai.........

............

Zuo Le really didn't expect that selling the overseas copyright of "Seven Swords" could bring so many benefits to himself and Shanhe.

This made him become more and more concerned about this matter, and began to recommend "Family with Children" and the traffic station duology to South Korea's SXS TV and Siam Distribution Company, which had not yet left.

As for the main theme drama "The Story of the Cooking Class", which is full of "private goods", there is no need to think that it can be sold to other countries, so Zuo Le simply does not bother to saliva.

Siam Distribution Company had no interest in sitcoms and immediately declined, but Kim Won-so, the head of SXS TV, was ready to try it out because of the popularity of sitcoms in South Korea.

It took Kim Won-so two days to watch the first ten episodes of the three dramas, and to Zuo's surprise, Kim Won-so didn't feel much about "Family with Children", but he liked the traffic station two-part series.

believes that the portrayal of Dongying officers and soldiers in these two dramas will definitely be recognized and loved by South Korean audiences.

Jin Yuanxiu proposed to introduce the two-part traffic station at a price of 2 million US dollars, and Zuo Le introduced him to Fang Weimin.

Although the traffic station dilogy is Zuo Le's work, the copyright is Dongshantai's, and it is okay for him to help connect the two parties, but how to sell it and how much it sells has nothing to do with him.

Two days later, Zuo Le learned from Chen Fatzi that SKS won the South Korean overseas copyright of the transportation station two-part series at a price of 6 million US dollars.

Frankly, the price is slightly lower, but considering that this is a sitcom about the Anti-Japanese War, no one will buy it except for South Korea and North Korea.

Being able to sell it for $6 million is already very content.........
