"Game of Thrones" is a fantasy theme, and there are no youth idols, if the audience does not exceed 500,000 during the broadcast, and the prestige does not rise, I am afraid that the copyright of the first ten episodes will be sold at a discount. [Full text reading]

It is definitely a wise choice to sell the copyright in advance at this time to have a stable income.

Chen Keer is surprisingly confident: "Don't worry, I don't dare to say the ratings, but the quality of this series after it is broadcast, I believe that people in the industry will see that the price is definitely more than $100,000 per episode." ”

The more Neil listened, the more he felt that Chen Keer was too optimistic, and said a little anxiously:

"Manager Chen, don't you know who our opponent is, we broadcast every Wednesday, and the most direct opponent is "American Idol" on fox TV at the same time, and this show alone has a 25 million viewership.

and CBS's "CSI Crime Scene", which also has a viewing population of 16 million, and although they are public television, they are also one of the most watched dramas and programs at present...... Do you really think HBO a paid cable TV can shake them up? ”“

Saying that, Neil lowered his voice and said, "You have to be clear, even if the purchasing power of wired viewers is five times that of wireless viewers, we get 2 million viewers, and we can't compete with these two programs...... After the suspension of our HBO's only ace drama "**** Family", only "True Love Like Blood" has exceeded 1.5 million viewers in recent years. ”

Chen Keer listened to Neil's words, but she was not moved at all, and said very resolutely: "Mr. Neil, you should know that this series is fully invested by our Black Feather Studio, and we are responsible for all the details, HBO is only an auxiliary role, in principle, you have no right to question my judgment." ”

Neil listened to the chest and was almost so angry that he was about to scold, and looked directly at Gu Xiaofan: "Director Gu, what do you say......

"I said it, Manager Chen's words are my decision, okay Mr. Neil, I'm going to shoot, what's the matter, you can talk to Manager Chen directly, I won't participate~" After Gu Xiaofan finished speaking, he said to Chen Keer: "You can make up your mind about these things in the future." ”

He closed his eyes directly, lay back in his director's chair and continued to sleep.

Neil was directly stunned, he looked at Chen Keer, Chen Keer actually took out the thermos cup and brewed the tea bag in front of him, without taking him in his eyes at all, but Neil had no way at all.

In fact, not only Chen Keer, but also the entire HBO crew, everyone worships Gu Xiaofan as a god, and they don't listen to his orders at all, and everyone is full of confidence in the series "Game of Thrones".

Neil suddenly found that although he was nominally in charge of HBO, the actual leader of HBO was actually Black Feather Studios, who had strong funds, top talents, and the Scottish government and Chinese public opinion as the backing.

And his own fate is now completely in the hands of the Black Feather Studio, and he has no power to influence them in the slightest...... In just over a month, Gu Xiaofan has already established a high prestige within Warner.

This kind of Gu Xiaofan reminded Neil of his father Old Jet, who made him frightened and fearful, no...... Gu Xiaofan seems to be more charismatic in leadership than Hao Jet.

And Neil actually understands that in fact, this time, Gu Xiaofan's risk is far greater than him, such a huge investment, the negative oppression of the "villain" by the whole American public opinion, once the cleanup fails, Gu Xiaofan will face a catastrophe.

But why is Gu Xiaofan so calm? I didn't seem to be worried at all.

Is it overly optimistic? But it's this nonchalant attitude that gives HBO a lot of self-confidence, as if no one thinks Game of Thrones will fail......

That afternoon, when they learned that "Game of Thrones" had rejected all overseas offers, all the TV stations around the world that were interested in "Game of Thrones" couldn't help but laugh, but it was the first time they had seen such an arrogant crew, and they were not interested in the pre-sale agreement of 100,000 per episode for overseas copyrights, is Black Feather Studio really so confident in itself?

In the end, "Game of Thrones" did not respond to the overseas copyright offer, and the broadcast rights of a single country were not sold, which made other TV stations in North America who learned the news almost laugh their big teeth.

This is simply so interesting, the first English work of "Villain", the hyped "Game of Thrones", did not sell any overseas rights in the end, so that it could be broadcast on HBO and Scottish national television, but these two have no advertising revenue, which is a low investment return, and has set a record in HBO's history.

At the same time, as the most direct competitor, Abel Warner only sneered after learning the news, scolding Gu Xiaofan for being an "idiot with no one in his eyes".

When the outside world was boiling and ridiculing the "villain" as a joke, Gu Xiaofan didn't seem to care, which could make him maintain the state of a good example "little devil" even more.

Even this kind of public opinion is deliberately created by him, he has to face all these prejudices and arrogance, and then go and defeat those who question him.

Liu Shishi even found that Gu Xiaofan's recent performance was particularly good, greatly surpassing usual, and he seemed to have really become the snarky, point-to-point, and ruthless "little devil", and he was very happy.

As the cold winter passes across North America, the climate begins to become warmer, and the annual spring season of American dramas begins quietly.

At this time, it is the off-season for Hollywood movies, and all blockbusters are ready to be released in the summer of 2 months, and people will be used to staying at home at night, watching all kinds of exciting drama shows, and letting the exciting and tense ball games accompany them for a relaxing evening.

And at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, when Fox TV's "American Idol" and CBS's "CSI Crime Scene" aired, all of its stations were in a state of torment.

Since 7 years ago, these two major programs have firmly occupied the vast majority of the viewership of this time slot.

Columbia and News Corp. are the kings of this period, and in the past seven years, countless competitors have tried to challenge them, but all of them have ended in failure.

For Columbia, which was once hit hard by Gu Xiaofan in China, News Corp., which already wants to buy Warner, Gu Xiaofan's "Game of Thrones" has naturally become their focus of observation.

Edward, Lily sat in front of the TV early on, and the Columbia executives also turned on the TV in a different location and tuned into the HBO channel.

On the other hand, Allen, who was recuperating from his injuries in the hospital, was also lying on the hospital bed through gritted teeth, and had the TV set lifted to his bedside for him.

The first English-language work of "The Villain" is not only being viewed with skepticism by North American fans, but also by competitors.

The Western world, which has always been the center of world civilization, has ushered in the invasion of such an "Eastern outsider" for the first time, what will be the outcome?
