Chapter 585 - Sale of Overseas Broadcasting Rights
(It's the National Day, the students are happy on the National Day!You have a holiday, you can have fun, and you have to continue to code the word bitterly, begging for a ticket for comfort!While there is still time for a double monthly pass, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, today's three watches, this is a watch, ask for a ticket! Ask for a book!)
In early August, after 12 days of accumulation, "Shanghai Tang" finally ushered in an explosion in the finale of the thirteenth day, setting a terrifying monumental super high rating that can only be looked up to by countless people - a rating of 3 out of 90. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although there is a discrepancy between this data and the real data, when this super high rating was recorded, Wu Cheng's fans were directly boiling and shouting one by one.
Who said that Wu Cheng was bragging in the first place? Do you dare to stand up and let everyone pay respects?
Who said that if "Shanghai Tang" could have this ability, it would eat the hammer directly? Do you dare to stand up and eat the hammer live?
When this rating came out, Wu Cheng's fans seemed to be even happier and prouder than Wu Cheng, and they all held their heads high when they spoke.
And this rating, even Wu Cheng himself didn't expect it.
Although he doesn't know what the ratings of this "Shanghai Tang" were in the original time and space, it is estimated that it is only eighty percent at most. Of course, eighty percent, this number, is also a terrifying figure.
And now, this "Shanghai Tang", which is known as a movie, has burst out with such powerful energy, setting this ratings record that is almost impossible to break again, how is it not amazing!
Of course, such data can only be done in this period, under the premise that there are only two TV stations and only five channels.
If in the later generations, in the mainland, the ratings can reach ten figures, which is a divine drama.
But in this period, although this data is overbearing and unreasonable, it is actually not impossible. This is not only the reason why "Shanghai Tang" is good, but also because there is a lottery waiting for everyone. Moreover, not only those who answer all the questions correctly can participate in the lottery, but those viewers who are all right in each issue can also receive a small gift, although there are not many things, but it is also a kind of fun!
And this kind of interaction between TV stations and viewers used to be almost rare.
Of course, the most important thing is the quality of "Shanghai Tang". Even many people who haven't watched the first few episodes have been calling TV stations to ask for a replay of "Shanghai Tang".
Replay "Shanghai Tang", that's for sure, after all, Longfeng TV has paid a lot in this TV series this time, if you don't continue to broadcast it and earn some advertising fees, it won't be a big loss.
That is to say, there are only these two TV stations in Xiangjiang, and it is impossible for "Shanghai Tang" to be broadcast on TVB, so the second round of broadcast on Longfeng Channel, Donglong International is naturally not good to continue to collect money from Longfeng Channel. It is precisely because of this that when Longfeng TV buys "Shanghai Tang", it will use the cost of 50,000 yuan per episode, plus part of the advertising revenue share, because buying this first round of broadcast rights is equivalent to buying all the broadcast rights.
And when "Shanghai Tang" hit this peak of ratings, Donglong's international business department finally ushered in a business peak, because some overseas TV stations finally couldn't sit still.
The quality of "Shanghai Tang" is there, and their hostile TV stations don't mind jumping in if they give up...... In fact, when "Shanghai Tang" was broadcast, those TV stations came, but Wu Cheng didn't mind dragging it out for a while.
Moreover, Wu Cheng's request for an episode of more than 100,000 or 200,000 Hong Kong dollars is too high.
Of course, this request, Wu Cheng also knows, is somewhat excessive. But isn't that what doing business is? Asking for a price all over the place, sitting on the ground and paying back!
In fact, because of this drama, the advertising revenue of Longfeng Terrace has increased a lot, and Wu Cheng has nearly earned back more than 5 million yuan from the cost of this drama through this advertising share.
This is much higher than the high price of 100,000 yuan for a single episode, and the TV station also paid the price of 50,000 yuan for a single episode. Of course, such a price is just the price of an ordinary episode.
However, others don't think it's a normal thing to compare Longfengtai, because Longfengtai itself is also an industry under Wu Cheng's name. For Wu Cheng, charging for Longfengtai is just handing over the money from the left hand to the right hand, although there will be a loss of tax in the middle.
It is precisely for this reason that they dragged things out before.
However, just when they were dragging things out, Huashi on the treasure island directly agreed to Wu Cheng's request. not only gave a high price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for an episode, but also promised to give some share of advertising revenue. Of course, this ad share is not much, but it is just a meaning.
Then halfway through the broadcast of "Shanghai Tang", this drama also began to be broadcast there, and as a result, this drama, on the treasure island, also caused a sensational ratings.
Although it is not as exaggerated as Longfeng Channel, the current ratings have risen to sixty percent.
With the current results, the drama "Shanghai Tang" can recover three or four million costs from China Television. And this is just the first round of broadcasting.
On the Treasure Island side, there are currently three TV stations, and I believe that the other two will compete for the second round of broadcasting again. Every time it is played, Wu Cheng can collect some money from them.
Wu Cheng believes that more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia can provide him with an income of 20 or 30 million yuan.
And the real big head is still on Oriental TV in North America. After the production of the series "Shanghai Tang" was completed, Oriental TV began to cooperate with Wu Cheng.
The way to cooperate with California Oriental TV is to buy out outright, 100,000 dollars per episode. After all, when "Shanghai Tang" goes over there, Wu Cheng is not sure whether it will be unsuitable for water and soil.
The price of $100,000 per episode, if it is placed on the side of Xiangjiang, it is definitely super high, higher than the income of more than five million provided by Longfengtai. But in North America, it's actually just a little more expensive than shooting a TV episode under normal circumstances.
However, it's much better to buy a TV series directly than to make it yourself, because you don't have to worry about the quality of the TV series you buy!
These can be seen in advance.
And this is precisely the benefit of the separation of production and broadcasting for TV stations.
Wu Cheng believes that after the broadcast of the drama on Oriental TV, other TV stations with a Chinese audience base will definitely watch this drama.
All he has to do now is just wait slowly. However, after this wave of craze passed, he was ready to let the salesmen under him take the initiative.
After all, the whole world, not only North America, has a Chinese circle.
However, what Wu Cheng didn't expect was that before he could send his business out to expand his business, some overseas TV stations that he hadn't thought about before had already come to the door.
Needless to say, on the Southeast Asian side, after seeing the ratings on the Treasure Island side explode, and the Xiangjiang side also set an unattainable ratings record, the first thing to loosen up was the Japanese Island TV station from the Japanese island, and the price of "Shanghai Tang" they won was more expensive than that on the Treasure Island. No way, because they promised too late. It doesn't matter if they don't want to, and they're not the only TV station on Hijima anyway.
After the Japanese island TV station loosened its mouth, the stick side was also loosened, and the price was almost the same as the price of the Japanese island TV station.
These two TV stations alone provided Wu Cheng with an income of 12 million Hong Kong dollars.
In addition to Southeast Asian countries, what Wu Cheng didn't expect was that North America, Canada, and Europe, especially the United Kingdom, were directly killed.
What Wu Cheng didn't expect even more was that along with the TV station in the UK, there was also a woman that Wu Cheng hadn't seen for a long time - Diana.
In fact, Diana actually just wanted to come quietly, but she didn't expect to meet the staff of these TV stations on the plane, and then be recognized.
Although Diana, the young lady of the earl's family, has always been very low-key, but when the young lady of the earl's family was on the Xiangjiang side, she was in the newspaper, and it was also seen in the form of an affair with Wu Cheng, a wealthy man. Therefore, when they had recognized them, they invited the young lady of the Earl's house to come with them.
When Wu Cheng saw Diana in this team, he was almost shocked, thinking that she had graduated and joined this TV station!
And after having this foundation, Wu Cheng also had to give this independent ~ independent TV station a little face, and quickly negotiated the business at a price that everyone could accept.
So far, this "Shanghai Tang" has generated more than 40 million revenue for the company.
Wu Cheng can even be sure that the income of the drama "Shanghai Tang" in the future will definitely exceed the previous "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
After all, there are still most countries in Southeast Asia that have not yet been negotiated. And now there are those countries and local TV stations in Europe and the United States.
Wu Cheng estimated the final income, and this amount could be doubled.
A TV series, with a cost of 8 million, directly created more than ten times the income, so you can imagine how much money you make. At the beginning, Wu Chengpin said that this TV series is more profitable than many movies, and now it is predictable.
When these things were reported, those who supported Wu Cheng were boiling again.
Who said that the income of a TV series can exceed the income of a movie? Who said that Wu Cheng was arrogant and ignorant when he said such a thing? Do you dare to stand up and promise not to kill you!
"Urban Entertainment Daily" even issued an article titled "Look at our Wu Dadao teaches you how to slap your face - pop papa!", which mentioned why Wu Cheng can slap the faces of these black fans every time, and also mentioned why every time Wu Cheng does something, there are always some people who happily put their faces up...... The article is humorous, vivid and interesting, and has been praised by many Wu Cheng fans.
And at this time, Wu Chengzheng took a group of beauties to the sea to play! )
