And in fact, did Lin Xiao lose? Obviously not!

"Friends" is the North American version of Huaguo's "Love Apartment".

In fact, there are not a few domestic media and netizens who pay attention to this drama.

Because it can be said that "Friends" is the copyright of China's first TV series exported to the outside world.

"Love Apartment" is already known as a national drama in China and is deeply loved by young people.

And now "Love Apartment" has been filmed in China for 4 seasons!

Each season is able to firmly occupy the ratings champion of the broadcast time.

Such a drama series, which is loved by countless young people in China, was exported to North America and became "Friends", whether it can succeed or not naturally makes many people pay attention.

As a result, when "Friends" was just piloted, the ratings of 1.8 million made many people a little disappointed.

Even some domestic small media sneered and said that dramas like "Love Apartment" can have a bit of a domestic market.

As a result, "Friends" suddenly broke out one step a week, and even became the hottest drama of the year in North America, which stunned countless people at once.

In fact, the copyright of domestic TV dramas is sold abroad, "Love Apartment" is definitely not the first one, and the earlier domestic dramas, Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, have a good market in many countries in Asia.

However, that is only limited to some parts of Asia, and there are many film rights sold abroad, but most of them are concentrated in Asia.

But the TV series adaptation rights were sold to Europe and the United States, and even caused a sensation, it was really the only one in the scorpion!

"A divine drama is a divine drama, and gold can shine wherever it goes!"

"I'll just say that our national drama, when it comes to Lao Mei, even if it is not adaptable, it is only temporary, now take a look, the drama is a drama everywhere!"

After so many years, I have finally taken the first step in the cultural export of TV drama works!"

"Yes, I went to see the North American version of "Friends", and every character in it can find the prototype in "Love Apartment", but the plot is different. ”

"And haven't you noticed? There are a lot of Chinese elements in "Friends", because Li in it is himself a Chinese. ”

"This kind of cultural implantation is called moisturizing things silently!"

The character in Lin Xiao's version of "Friends" in the original Indian version was replaced by Chinese.

And then naturally, some Chinese elements appear in this series very naturally, isn't this also part of promoting Chinese culture?

And the key is that it is not abrupt, it is a natural kind of implantation plot.

This is more disgusting than those embarrassing plots with Chinese elements, not to mention, but also abrupt, it is simply a world of difference.

In fact, the first season of "Friends" was sold to NBC, which was really the price of cabbage, less than $8 million, and it was especially bought by the other party for the sake of the face of the Dick Group.

As a result, now this price has become the target of NBC's cynicism by countless TV networks, why?

It stands to reason that in the first season of "Friends", NBC won a super hit drama at such a low price, which can be said to be full of money, which is definitely a very eye-catching achievement.

Of course, this is based on the premise that "Friends" only has one season, but the key is that "Friends" definitely can't have only one season.

Then the problem arises, if NBC does not produce more blood than other TV stations in the second season, "Friends" will probably miss them.

The reason is very simple, you have made so much money, if you don't spit it out a little and don't make up for it, then why should I continue to cooperate with you?

And that's not all!

The sudden popularity of "Friends" proves the strength of Legendary Pictures.

So in addition to "Friends", many people have noticed that in fact, Legendary Pictures is not only producing such a series as "Friends" at the same time, but also two other series.

This was mentioned earlier.

In the other two episodes, Lin Xiao also gave the creativity and the plot outline of the previous episodes.

For this reason, NBC and several other TV networks have all thrown olive branches to Legendary Pictures.

In the eyes of the old beauty, the creed that successful people can always succeed is very common.

Since Legendary Pictures can make a "Friends" that everyone is not optimistic about, but it turns out to be a big hit, is it also possible to replicate the legend of "Friends"?

In the end, the sequel to "Friends" still fell into the pocket of NBC, and not only that, but NBC even directly booked episodes for the next three seasons of "Friends".

Of course, NBC paid a huge price for it!

In the second season of "Friends" alone, the transaction price has made countless people fall eyeballs!

$100 million!

Originally, NBC was also prohibitive for this price code, but when the highest ratings of "Friends" exceeded 40 million, NBC completely softened!

It's not just $100 million, there's a lot more strings attached!

And how much did the second season of Friends cost to make?

Less than $30 million!

This is also because the salaries of the leading actors have risen sharply.

And the income of a hit drama in North America is definitely not limited to the first round of broadcast rights sold to TV stations.

There are also network broadcast rights, as well as DVD copyrights and so on.

Although the first season can be sold to NBC at the price of cabbage, it can't make money at all, but the rebroadcast and other copyrights have at least brought tens of millions of revenue to the show.

Naturally, the second season is not to mention.

For this reason, Legendary Pictures fired the first shot in North America!

When the news was transmitted back to China, it caused a series of media reports, and it exploded directly on the Internet.

The second season of the North American version of "Love Apartment" and "Friends" sold a sky-high price of more than $100 million!

When the Chinese national drama goes abroad, it is still a divine drama!

The hottest drama of the year in North America, originating from China!

Huaguo fired the first shot of TV drama exports!

"Friends" has strong Chinese elements, and its model is worth learning from domestic filmmakers!

A new way of cultural export, from "Love Apartment" to "Friends", Lin Xiao has created another miracle!

From "Kung Fu Panda" rich in Chinese elements to "Once Upon a Time Series" to the Chinese Savior series "Terminator", to the "Three Kingdoms" series of movies, and "Friends", which set ratings records, Ling Xiao Ge has always been on the road of promoting Chinese culture!

"Friends" became popular in North America, creating a quarterly transaction price of 100 million US dollars, not only the people cheered, but even the official media of China also solemnly reported the news, and even said that the success of "Friends" is the most favorable evidence of the rise of China's cultural industry!

Because of this, Lingxiao Pavilion has been registered in the relevant cultural departments of Huaguo!

North America, with Hollywood blockbusters, selects cultural output around the world, while China's domestic films have always been able to shrink in China, which has always been a pain in the hearts of the Chinese people.
