"Prison Break" was successfully broadcast on American television and firmly stood in the second place in the total number of viewers on Monday, which caused quite a stir around the world. It has always been rare for the United States to export film and television drama products to other countries, and it is really rare for other countries' cultural products to counterattack the American market.

Especially in the TV drama market, in addition to products from the same English-speaking countries, it is extremely difficult for TV dramas from other countries to enter. But such a difficult thing was precisely done by a Chinese TV drama producer.

For a while, the "family film industry", which was originally unknown abroad, suddenly had a lot of global influence through the drama "Prison Break". The newly acquired Family-Fiml abbreviated as FF Company was also suddenly busy, not only preparing for Hu Yifei's new film, but also because of the sudden increase in the number of countries that came to contact the overseas copyright of "Prison Break", after some negotiation and negotiation, it was finally successfully sold to more than 60 countries and regions around the world, which can be regarded as the first Chinese TV series with a real global distribution.

Since then, when foreigners mention Chinese TV dramas, they must be more famous than "Journey to the West".

Although there are many countries and regions where copyright is sold, after all, it cannot be compared with the sales revenue of the American market. The total sales revenue of these places is only about 20 million US dollars, which is not as much as the revenue generated by a TV station in the United States. CBS is not losing money, and the high ratings of "Prison Break" have led to high-priced advertising, and the advertising revenue generated by one episode is at least seven or eight million. There is also a follow-up disc printing contract, which is another huge profit cake.

Family Pictures is naturally the biggest beneficiary, coupled with the fact that it has long been broadcast in Asia and the ratings are very popular, the price of the second round of domestic broadcast rights is far higher than that given by the first round of CCTV. A "Prison Break" creates more value for the family film industry than "Hero". If the discs sell a little better in the United States, it really won't be a problem.

Of course, this huge profit must be indispensable to CCTV.

Today's Hu Yifei, besides, he is an Asian star, which is a bit worthy of the name. It's still early to become an international superstar......

The sudden outbreak of the family film industry, which is in its third year of operation, has also attracted the attention of countless domestic counterparts.

Hong Kong people are particularly surprised and a little sad. For many years, since the golden age of Hong Kong films, they have been looking forward to being able to export films to the United States. From Shao Yifu to Zou Wenhuai, but it didn't work. The filmmaker also successfully launched a Chenlong and a Li Lianjie, Fa Ge is not famous, but unfortunately there is no solid work support in the United States, and it is slightly inferior after all.

The copyright of the film adaptation has also been sold a lot, such as "Infernal Affairs", but I never thought that Chinese TV series could be exported. Taiwan's film market has long been occupied by Hollywood, and even the TV drama market has been squeezed out by Korean dramas and Japanese dramas, so there is no talk of export.

But Hu Yifei did it, something that seemed fantastical to everyone, it was really incredible.

Sun Honglei was filming the martial arts blockbuster "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" directed by Tsui Hark, and during the days when the crew was visiting the class, he was caught by a reporter and joked: "Milin, you are popular in the United States." ”

Sun Honglei smiled like a flower on his face, and said: "Yes, then I have to learn a few words of English when I travel to the United States in the future, otherwise I won't be able to understand when others ask me for an autograph." ”

"Brother Hong Lei, CBS is going to shoot the second season of "Prison Break", will you still participate in the filming?"

Sun Honglei said: "This depends on the director's meaning." But to be honest, it is really not easy for "Prison Break" to get out, and if I had to choose, I really don't want to be in prison for more than a month...... Haha, just kidding, if you really want to make a sequel, I'm on call. ”

The reporter caught another protagonist, Zhen Bullet, and asked him how he thought Hu Yifei became popular in the United States, but he smiled but was a little disdainful in his heart, "When it comes to becoming popular, it depends on many aspects, and you only see some media reports, which are a bit one-sided." American dramas are updated quickly, so they naturally need to receive more attention during the broadcast...... I hope he's really popular. ”

The next day, the media decisively posted the news, "Zhen Bullet ridiculed the old man that the popularity of the United States is false, and the popularity is only temporary, not really popular......" The report immediately attracted heated discussions among countless netizens. can be regarded as finding an excuse for black fans, and they all meet it, and begin to question whether Hu Yifei is really popular in the United States.

And the fans naturally stopped doing it, and frantically scolded Zhen for not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes were sour. And Hu Yifei himself has never said that he has become popular in the United States, and it has always been reported by the media. The master only knows how to do practical things, and he will make another movie in the second half of this year.

Brother Chenlong was promoting the new film "New Police Story", and was caught by the media and asked him what he thought of Hu Yifei's fame in the United States.

The eldest brother is an old driver, and the routine is much deeper. I saw him dressed in a Tang suit, and he smiled with a trademark smile and said, "To be honest, I'm very jealous." Back then, I had to go to Hollywood to work hard, and how much effort I took, how much suffering I endured, and how much blindness I endured to achieve what I am today. But today's young people are really amazing, only 20 years old, and they have achieved this step by themselves. I admire him very much, whether it is a TV series or a movie in the past few years since his debut, it is very good-looking, among young people of his age, I think there is no one in the entire Chinese-speaking circle who can compare. To use an idiom, it is to stand out...... I guess that's right. I'm really looking forward to having him work with me on my next film. Tell him what I have said. ”

Wu Yanzu, who participated in the promotion of "New Police Story", also admired it, but there was one thing hidden in his heart.

A few days ago, he suddenly received a call from Hu Yifei, inviting him to star in a movie. said that the shooting time was a bit urgent, and I hope he can give a reply as soon as possible.

This thing was a bit sudden, and Wu Yanzu was still promoting "New Police Story" and didn't react a little. And he still has a lot of work to complete, and he may not have a schedule to take over the show, so he said that he needs to think about it. After asking the agent Chen Ziqiang, the agent also told him that the contract was too full and he couldn't spare time.

But now seeing that Hu Yifei is so popular, whether it is a TV series or a movie, one is more popular than the other, and my heart is also a little shaken.

After getting out of the event, he quickly called the agent, "Brother Chen, you shouldn't have rejected Hu Yifei yet, right?" ”

Chen Ziqiang said: "Not yet, if you don't say it, I almost forgot." What, he's calling you again? I didn't even show the script, obviously not sincere enough, so if I want to say it, don't pay attention to it. ”

"No, I'm going to take the contract." Wu Yanzu frowned, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Chen, your attitude is not right, after all, he is a director and has not come back in the United States, not to mention that he just invited me to audition, and there is no lack of sincerity." I'm just a small actor, so I should pay more attention to this kind of problem. ”

Chen Ziqiang paused for a moment, this was the first time Wu Yanzu refuted him, and he was a little speechless, "Okay...... Then you want to pick it up, I'll help you get in touch. ”

"No, I'll contact myself."
