Early August 2022

Dongying NKN TV, which won the overseas copyright of the "Baolian Lantern" two-part series, began to broadcast TV series in Dongying after working overtime to add subtitles and dubbing to the plot.

In order to take care of the plot, Dongying NKN TV chose to broadcast the two-part series in the same order as the mountains and rivers, namely "Baolian Lantern" - "Baolian Lantern Prequel".

However, now that the network is so developed, there are not a few students studying in Dongying and China.

Regarding the setting of Yang Jian, the villain, who finally reversed and whitewashed, it was spoiled after "Baolian Lantern" was broadcast.

Fortunately, the problem was not very serious, and after causing a certain amount of turmoil in the early days, it quickly stabilized.

Mainly because "Baolian Lantern" is not as popular as "Seven Swords" at the beginning, and the audience is limited, which is harmless.

"Baolian Lantern" landed on Dongying NKN TV in early August, barely reaching the upstream level in the same period, and the overall results can only be regarded as good.

It's certainly not enough to lose money, but it's not much to make either.

For the achievements of "Baolian Lantern", Dongying NKN TV must be a little disappointed.

They originally hoped to have another "Seven Swords" that was popular in half of Asia back then, but unfortunately they couldn't get their wish.

In disappointment, NKN TV unconsciously lowered its psychological expectations.

As a result, they never thought that by lowering their psychological expectations, the results of the "Baolian Lantern" two-part series would rebound against the trend.

Especially when "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern" was broadcast, it went from barely being in the upper reaches of the same period to the top three in the same period at a very fast speed, and had the posture of hitting the top of the list.

This is not intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade.

NKN TV was overjoyed, and rearranged and increased the promotional resources of "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern", not to mention, and began to analyze the reasons for this increase in ratings.

After careful research on the audience, NKN finally figured out what was going on.

It turns out that the plot of "Baolian Lantern" is easy and young, and this style is okay in China, but in a foreign country, the acceptance is a little worse.

What's more, this kind of routine is not very attractive to Dongying audiences who are used to seeing young and enthusiastic fans.

According to the research, most of the loyal audiences of "Baolian Lantern" are mainly focused on the villain Yang Jian.

There are those who like him to be handsome, those who like him to be high-ranking and ruthless, and those who like him to trap his sister......

Regarding this, the Dongying audience is different from the Chinese audience.

The latter is influenced by the traditional cultural ideas that have been handed down for many years, and most people still like to distinguish which camp the characters are in "good" and "evil" for film and television and some story creation, and are accustomed to praising good and depreciating evil.

Although the Dongying audience does not worship the wicked, relatively speaking, they pay more attention to the personal charm of the characters, and ignore the good and evil positions of the characters to a certain extent.

There are many popular movies and television or anime in Dongying, and there are many villains in them, but they are still quite popular.

In contrast, although the impact of the Internet wave is now experienced, Chinese audiences are open-minded, especially the younger generation, and their ideas are more diverse, but after all, few people will still love that kind of heinous character.

In Chinese film and television, all the popular villains are basically suffering behind them, and they are not born evil.

Or add some human brilliance to the wicked, such as infatuation, filial piety, loyalty and other good qualities.

In short, the villain that the Chinese audience appreciates is an impure "evil", and most importantly, the audience is against the evil deeds of his villain.

The audience is more "free" in this regard, and whether they support or oppose the villain's evil deeds mainly depends on their own appetite.

Under such a movie-watching concept, although Yang Jian of "Baolian Lantern" is a big villain, it attracts the attention of Dongying audiences from a certain angle.

And the later reversal and whitewashing made many decent viewers also like Yang Jian, so that as soon as Yang Jian's "Baolian Lantern Prequel" with Yang Jian as the male protagonist was broadcast, it immediately received a lot of support.

After that, the audience of Dongying discovered the difference between the prequel of "Baolian Lantern" and "Baolian Lantern".

"Baolian Lantern" is similar to a light-hearted and hot-blooded fan, where a teenager takes a bunch of friends to defeat the villain and rescue his mother.

The plot of "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern" is more complex and deeper, the teenager has gone through many levels and finally becomes a big boss, but for the sake of the world, he becomes a villain and manipulates a new catastrophe behind the scenes.

This kind of initiative has become the tone of a martyr who "a thousand sins are mine, and I should be beheaded with the sin", to be honest, it poked at the point of the audience in the Middle East.

In addition, watching the plot of "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern", and then pushing back the encounter of Yang Jian in "Baolian Lantern", can better reflect the charm of Yang Jian's character.

As a result, "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern" became popular in Dongying, and the role of Yang Jian also became popular.

Dongying netizens in the second middle school, according to the old rules, gave Yang Jian a nickname - the peerless handsome Oriental God of War.

It is said that there are already Dongying companies ready to contact Jiao Jun to go to Dongying to film, and some people have fallen in love with Yang Jian's partner Roaring Sky Dog and want to find a second uncle to play a Dongying monster.

They feel that just like the second uncle, and then pretending to be a monster who eats children, it is absolutely vivid.

Even these people kindly suggested that the second uncle could develop into supernatural horror films, and that Huaguo had an enchantment and couldn't shoot ghosts, so they could come to Dongying, the second uncle was talented, and it would be a pity if it was wasted.........

The news of Dongying's arrival reached the ears of the second uncle, and he almost didn't make the old man angry.

The little devil is so bad!

I played a traitor back then, and now I want to let myself play a monster who eats children, and it's a ghost monster, if Lao Tzu is really Jia Gui, he will spit on their faces.

Not to mention the second uncle who scolded angrily, just talking about the good results of the "Baolian Lantern" two-part series in Dongying also made TV stations and distribution companies in other regions think about it.

Soon, South Korea and Southeast Asia sent people to Shanhe to contact, but the South Korean side did not have much desire to introduce it, the bid was too low, and the two sides were still fighting.

The one who wanted the copyright in Central and South Asia was a big group, and soon reached an agreement with Sunward and won all the overseas copyrights in Southeast Asia of the "Baolian Lantern" two-part series at a package price of 30 million US dollars.

At the same time, the success of the "Baolian Lantern" two-part series made NKN firm in the idea of continuing to introduce mountain and river dramas.

Their next target is "Detective Di Renjie", who had hesitated before.

And with the successful foundation of "Baolian Lantern" and "Seven Swords", the voice of the mountains and rivers has greatly increased, and it has become a seller's market.

"Detective Di Renjie" is a series, and Shanhe hopes to export the entire series overseas, and he is more cautious and careful in various details, and of course, the price is higher.

Next, Dongying NKN TV and the Sunward negotiation team conducted arduous negotiations and looked at each other.

During this period, the Shanhe series of sitcoms "College Students' Stories 3" also slowly came to an end.........
