Chapter 721: Teletubbies
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"
Meng Lang looked at the mobile phone and said with a stiff expression: "I heard me right......, right?
"Yes! You heard it right!"
Lao Meng on the other end of the phone said with a full of anger: "I want to accept a godgrandson, just the skin monkey of Ma Teng's family." When I'm done dealing with it, let's celebrate it when we return home. β
"No, Dad, you didn't take the wrong medicine, did you?"
"Good and decent, what do you accept as a grandson? Just accept it, why is it Ma Teng's son?"
"I'm willing, can you handle it?"
Lao Meng choked and said: "I'm almost sixty years old, and I haven't hugged my grandson yet." You kid don't fight for it, and you won't be allowed to find someone else?"
"Why am I not angry?"
Meng Lang said angrily: "Look at this huge country, I have all beaten it." In terms of merit, my grandfather is not inferior, but he is much better than you, right?"
"But you have no queen!"
"A person without a descendant, what merit can we talk about?"
Meng Lang: "......"
I can't talk anymore this day!
He understood that Lao Meng's "godgrandson" was a joke at all, and he deliberately used this to stimulate him.
Maybe Ma Teng had this idea, but Lao Meng didn't agree, and made a special call to tell him that he would use this topic to urge him to have a baby.
Damn Maten!
Thinking of this, Meng Lang was angry.
Originally, during the New Year's holiday, it meant to give a hundred red envelopes. If his son becomes the grandson of Lao Menggan, it will not be a matter of a hundred yuan!
At least 10 times more!
Who can withstand this?
Just wanted to settle accounts with Ma Teng, but Yang Ping, the administrative secretary, told him that Vice President Ma went on a business trip to Europe and had not come back yet.
"I order you, come back to me at once!"
Meng Lang made a phone call, and he wanted this guy to hurry back to China for training. Unexpectedly, Ma Teng said: "Mr. Meng, I can't come back!"
"Do you remember Teletubbies?"
"The first children's program of the [Baby Series] jointly created by the European branch and the national branch has been broadcast. β
"Really?"
When it came to serious matters, Meng Lang didn't care about scolding, and hurriedly asked, "What is the reaction?"
"Success, great success!"
Ma Teng's voice could not hide his joy, and he only heard him say: "This program premiered on the afternoon of the BBC. The ratings for the first episode were low, so I didn't need to mention it, but ......"
Taking a deep breath, Ma Teng added: "This ratings curve is too stable! When the first episode was broadcast, there was no loss of viewers, and everything was stayed!"
Only the new audience keeps pouring in, and there are no old ones who change the channel and leave?
This is truly an amazing performance.
In so many audiences, it is impossible for all babies to be 12 months ~ 4 years old, there may be adults, teenagers and the elderly.
However, even they were kept!
It may sound like a fantasy, but realistically, this kind of thing can happen......
Meng Lang still remembers.
When I first saw Teletubbies, he was in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school. At that time, he liked to imitate junior high school students and pretend that he was very mature.
As a result, he nestled in his classmates and watched Teletubbies for an afternoon on a VCD player......
It's a personal experience!
Looking at the Teletubbies now, most people may feel naΓ―ve and can't stand it. But in the era when it was just born, it was indeed a work that swept the world.
The first time I saw a "moving plush doll", the surprise and excitement were no less than the first time I saw a "moving tights pervert"!
Plot...... It's a little younger.
In other words, there is no plot at all.
The story of Teletubbies, which mainly takes place on "Wonder Island". tells the story of a series of interesting things that happened on the island of the four plush dolls of Tintin (purple), Dixi (green), Lara (yellow) and Xiaobo (red).
There is no "main line" to speak of!
It stands to reason that this kind of work cannot attract children over the age of five to watch, after all, the story is too young and even elementary school students feel bored, how can it be possible to watch it?
But just watch it!
"The BBC told me that even they didn't expect this outcome. Originally, I bought this drama, mainly to cover 12-month~4-year-old children and expand my viewership. β
"I never expected this drama to be so magical. not only took care of the young children's audience, but also unexpectedly gained a group of teenagers, girls and adult audiences. β
Ma Teng was delighted: "When the second episode was broadcast, thanks to the excellent performance of the first episode, perhaps because of the word-of-mouth effect, the ratings almost doubled. The ratings curve is still the same, steady as a straight line!"
"Good news indeed!"
Meng Lang said: "But what I am more concerned about is that Teletubbies are mainly in the toddler market. What is the response to this group?"
"Super Bang!"
"After the show aired, many parents called the BBC, highly praised Teletubbies, and asked where to buy these plush dolls......
Speaking of this, Ma Teng imitated the words of the parents: "Hey, what kind of show are you? It actually made Baby concentrate and imitate the movements of the dolls! Please tell me, where can I buy these dolls? The child is crying now......
"Walter, this is a PD show?"
"Excuse me!"
"Poof......
Hearing the last sentence, even Meng Lang couldn't hold back and laughed out loud with a pig cry.
Is PD so scary?
Why did he hear that the producer was PD, his face immediately changed, and he said "I'm sorry"?
"Okay, I see. β
Parents have called the TV station, indicating that Teletubbies has indeed achieved a certain amount. At least conquer the vast majority of young children and make them addicted to it.
In this way, Meng Lang was relieved.
However, he still has a doubt!
Teletubbies were all broadcast, and they received a good response. Why can't I buy toys on the market, and parents have to call and ask the TV station in person?
This is not Uncle Meng's style!
In the early days, PD was short of money, and generally only after selling TV broadcast rights, toy factories would open molds to produce toys, and there was a "window period" in the middle.
Later, PD made a fortune, and the habit changed to the model of "TV dramas have not been broadcast, and toys have been spread all over offline physical stores".
"Mr. Meng, it takes time to transship!"
"We don't have a foundry in Europe, and the closest partner is Lebao in North America. It takes at least a week for them to open the mold and produce it, and then ship it to Europe for sale!"
That's not going to work!
In the past, the European branch did not have IP, and all the food was leftovers, and it made sense that there was no foundry.
Now there is an independent IP, and there are Danish Billund toys. In order to expand the operation and improve the ability of product distribution and replenishment, the factory must build one!
However, factories can be built.
The choice of workers, but not the ability to hire Europeans. If the Europeans are used, the money earned by the PD in a year may not be enough for their welfare.
It is possible to hire people from Southeast Asia......
