Chapter 18: Good Things Come in Pairs
The bustling October has passed.
After entering November, the hit "Fire Boy King" on each David TV has been broadcast sooner or later.
The earliest premiere platform, Jiangchuan Children's Channel has even finished the second round of replays, and is planning the third round of rebroadcasts, completely squeezing out the ratings potential of "Fire Boy King".
With the end of "Fire Boy King", a large number of online platforms began to find Pengda Film and Television to seek cooperation in online exclusive broadcasting rights.
Penguin, oil depot, and potato are the video website giants with the most financial resources, and they have offered Meng Lang favorable conditions that are difficult to refuse.
In the end, the online exclusive broadcast rights of "Firepower Boy King" were won by Penguin Video, which seems to have the strongest financial resources among the three.
The transaction price is 500,000 per episode, exclusive!
Penguins are rich!
The sale of online exclusive broadcasting rights is so expensive, which is something that Meng Lang never thought about. Because at the beginning of filming, he never thought that "Firepower Boy King" could sell the exclusive broadcast rights on the Internet......
Penguin, this is a lot of money, 500,000 yuan per episode to buy a "Fire Boy King" network exclusive broadcast rights that are not related to the customer base, what is this picture?
Meng Lang raised his doubts, anyway, at this time, the contract had been signed, and both parties had stamped their official seals, and they were not afraid of offending people by saying this.
Unexpectedly, the person in charge of Penguin Video who contacted him smiled and told him a terrifying thing.
Penguin Video has more than 100 million active users, and a considerable number of them are minors. There are also some users over the age of 25, and the playback records are all cartoons......
Well...... Very interesting!
So, how many parents think their son/daughter is annoying and use their mobile phones to hang a video software for him/her to play cartoons?
From this point of view, it makes sense for Penguin to buy the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Fire Boy King" so generously.
After sending away the heads of the copyright departments of several video websites, Meng Lang received another wave of "foreign friends".
......
"Meng Sang, please!"
Facing Mr. Ishikawa's expectant bow, Meng Lang's whole body was petrified.
TBS wants to introduce "Fire Boys"? The reason is that the vlog videos shot by international students in China have sparked a yo-yo craze in China?
Even derived the business of "yo-yo purchasing"?
You're so good!
I have to say that the two waves of guests received today have brought an unprecedented cognitive impact to Meng Lang.
First of all, the online exclusive broadcast rights of "Fire Boy King" were sought after, and a sky-high price of 500,000 yuan for a single episode was sold. What happened then was even more surprising that it was impossible to keep your mouth shut, foreign TV stations were going to introduce "Fire Boy King"?
Miserable!
I must have started dreaming in broad daylight before I woke up.
Patting his face, Meng Lang asked the guests who came from afar: "Mr. Ishikawa, are you sure that TBS wants to introduce "The Fire Boy King"?
"Hi Yi!"
Mr. Ishikawa speaks Chinese, but his pronunciation is strange, and he always refers to the Fire Power Boy King as the Fire Power Farming King. Other than that, everything else is normal.
"Meng Sang, we have done a survey for this, and more than 38% of the audience said that they are very interested in YOYO from China, and children also want to buy yoyo ...... in the mall."
So, you're reminding us that it's time to exit the yoyo?
Meng Lang has a headache, he has filmed so many divine dramas and thunder dramas, this is the first time he has encountered a "TV drama exit", and he doesn't know how to talk about it at all.
Broadcast rights for free to TBS?
No, no, no!
No matter how much money you have, you have to give something interesting. Otherwise, people still think that "Fire Boy King" was screened on TBS by free authorization, which is not good.
Even if it is sold to TBS for one dollar for the exclusive broadcasting rights of TBS, it can be regarded as an "exit"! How nice it is to say, netizens hear the news, and they can't praise him to the sky?
So, after the initial contact, Meng Lang gave a price test of one million.
"A million? no problem!"
Mr. Ishikawa agreed very quickly, so cheerfully that he felt like he was relieved.
Meng Lang: "......"
Is the pricing low?
However, the words have been spoken, and it seems a bit unauthentic to let Meng Lang change his words and raise the price.
And seriously, the value of "Fire Boy King" is here, and it is already very face-saving for people to spend 1 million to buy overseas broadcast rights.
Instead of being insatiable, it is better to take this opportunity to build a good relationship, and there will always be something useful in the future.
Except for TBS's willingness to introduce "Fire Boys", there are no new overseas regional TV stations that have this intention for the time being.
Let's try the water with TBS first, and if the response is good, not to mention the warming up of the relationship with TBS, other parts of the world may also be tempted to see this kind of enthusiastic response.
"Don't worry about Meng Sang in dubbing, we'll take care of it!" Mr. Ishikawa achieved the purpose of this trip, and said that he wanted to invite Meng Lang to dinner.
It is difficult to resist the hospitality, and Meng Lang is also happy to go to the appointment.
In a hot pot restaurant, the two chatted about "Fire Boy King" with or without a match.
TBS is preparing to re-dub "Fire Boy King" and invite the popular girl group to sing the Japanese version of the theme song "γγ£γΌγ³γ¨γ€γΈγ£γΌ".
Meng Lang expressed his support for their approach, and wished the screening of "Fire Boy" a big hit and earned more advertising revenue for TBS!
"Definitely!"
Mr. Ishikawa drank a little too much and said with a blushing face, "The neon children have been ruled by the Meat Selling Animation, and they need heroes to save them, and YOYO Superman is very good...... Hiccup!"
What the hell is YOYO Superman?
Meng Lang took a sip of beer, and suddenly understood why the first overseas TV station to talk about the introduction came from Neon.
It's not so much that they like yo-yos, it's better that they prefer the strong second-class atmosphere of "Fire Boy King".
It's hopeless!
......
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Meng Lang returned home.
Both parents were watching TV on the sofa, and Erha was covered with a cardboard box and squatted to the side with an innocent face.
"What's going on? Wrap this on it?"
After Meng Lang finished changing his shoes, he walked to the sofa and took down the cardboard box that framed Erha's head, and asked Comrade Meng.
Comrade Meng pouted and said: "This dog can't stay, and if he didn't slip for a day, he bit out a gap in the cabinet at home." I found a cardboard box and framed its head so he couldn't bite anything. β
"This trick is useless, don't look at this stupid dog who is honest now, no one will turn around, shake his head twice, and the carton will fall. It's not time to demolish the house, and there is no delay at all......"
After taking a can of Coke from the refrigerator, Meng Lang turned to ask about the current production situation of the factory.
When it comes to the factory, Comrade Meng's face is full of pride, and he almost doesn't write a line on his face: "I am the person who earns the most money in the whole family!"
After showing off the factory's revenue, Lao Meng suddenly asked: "How is the filming of your "Balala Little Demon Fairy"? I heard that the leading actor has been changed?"
"Well, it's changed!"
