200: Overseas copyright of "Survival in the Wilderness".
Regarding the suspected bombardment of the famous director Xu Tie, it caused a large-scale tearing war on the Internet.
There are those who agree and those who oppose it.
They have different views, but these people are distinct.
Most of those who agree with Xu Tie's point of view are viewers who have not watched this TV series, or have only watched it for a few minutes, or one or two episodes. They didn't see the excitement in the back, and they didn't see anything special in the front.
So naturally I will agree with Xu Tie's point of view.
And most of the opponents are the audience who have watched the whole show, they watched the whole show from beginning to end, and they know what is said in it? And what did these actors do?
So it's easy to resonate with this review.
As the chief director of this show, producer and a series of titles, Wang Luo has no intention of paying attention to these comments on the Internet.
Now Wang Luo is almost too busy to touch the ground, and he can't wait for forty-eight hours a day.
The crew of "Shunyo" officially started filming three days ago, but in order to catch up with the schedule of the two leading actors, the crew will shoot their scenes first.
Wang Biwen's negotiations with those foreign media have basically come to an end, and then he just waits for Wang Luo to make a final decision. But Wang Luo never had time to listen to these prices.
At this time, Wang Luo was recording the first season and twelfth issue of "Survival in the Wilderness".
Lu Ming had just returned from Europe, where he recorded the eleventh episode. And if you record the twelfth issue, you won't be able to catch up anyway.
Therefore, Wang Luo changed the program of the twelfth issue to a theoretical program, which is to sort out all the methods used in the first eleven episodes. and some things that may be used, which will be explained in this issue and tell the audience why they do it.
Fortunately, this episode of the show was prepared a month in advance. So it only took one morning to get it all done.
And Lu Ming and the entire film crew also got three months of vacation and a bonus of one million.
Back at the company, Wang Luo felt tired.
first paid attention to the ratings of "Soldier Assault", then went to the crew of "Shunyo" to watch, and finally personally directed the recording of the twelve episodes of "Survival in the Wilderness".
Fortunately, Wang Luo was not personally responsible for the preparation of the movie, but he was also in contact with the person in charge sent to Xiangjiang every day.
"Mr. Wang! It's almost the same as the price negotiated by the foreign media......" Wang Biwen knocked on the door. Then he walked into Wang Luo's office and said directly.
But seeing that Wang Luo was resting on a chair, he stopped before he finished speaking.
It's been a tiring time. Wang Biwen was busy negotiating, while Wang Luo was shuttling back and forth between various crews without stopping for a moment.
Wang Luo was resting, although Wang Biwen was very anxious. But there's no rush for a while.
"It's fine. Go ahead. Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Biwen turned around, Wang Luo sat up and said with a serious face.
"You'd better rest for a while, you're tired enough during this time." Wang Biwen hesitated.
The company is really not in a good situation, and it has been in a state of loss. Although this is all Wang Luo's reason, Wang Biwen is somewhat self-blaming.
With an annual salary of five million, it has hardly brought any profit to the company until now. But Wang Luo still trusts himself so much, and almost all internal affairs are handled by himself.
Especially when it comes to negotiations. As long as Wang Biwen is willing, he can easily do something in this.
Like what. Negotiate with a television station in a certain country to sell the film to them at a relatively low price, and in return, the television station needs to pay a certain amount of profit.
As long as Wang Biwen is willing, he can make more money than his annual salary in this matter.
But looking at this boss who is more than 20 years younger than himself, although most of the time his ideas are a little wild, but now it seems that it is not unreasonable.
"It's okay, you haven't rested, how can I rest?" Wang Luo smiled.
"Here are the offers and conditions given by these media, you take a look." Wang Biwen put the information in front of Wang Luo.
The first and first to come to the company was NHK, and the final price they offered was $210,000 per episode, which was also due to the sudden appearance of their competitors.
What made Wang Biwen most depressed was that NHK's competitors suddenly stopped raising prices after raising their prices to $200,000.
As a result, NHK made a direct bid of $210,000, but there were also conditions.
The second season of "Survival in the Wild" needs to be recorded in Japan, and NHK has priority rights to broadcast future programs.
"There is no Japan in the itinerary for the second season, and there is nothing to look forward to in Japan. If they can recommend a good area to shoot in, they can consider going to Japan to shoot an episode in the third season. Wang Luo commented directly.
In other words, except for shooting in Japan, there is no opinion on anything else.
Wang Biwen recorded Wang Luo's opinions on the side, these are the next places to discuss with the other party, if the two sides reach an agreement, they can sign a contract.
The second is an offer from the British BBC, $380,000 per episode, with priority for follow-up programs.
The third is ITV, an independent radio station in the United Kingdom, which gives a price of $400,000 per episode and has the right of priority for follow-up cooperation.
These two TV stations are ranked first and second in the UK, and there is not much difference in who they sell to, and both can guarantee sufficient ratings.
And these two TV stations did not put forward different requirements, so Wang Luo also made a better decision, of course, the one with the highest price.
Wang Luo did not hesitate to choose the British Independent Radio as a partner in the UK.
Fourth, fifth, and sixth, ABC, NBC, and Discovery Channel in the United States, respectively, gave prices of $300,000, $320,000, and $350,000, respectively.
And the Discovery Channel is the main creative unit of the world "Survival in the Wilderness", plus its positioning is also more suitable for this program, and the highest bid, so Wang Luo did not hesitate to choose the Discovery Channel as a partner.
In seventh place is Italy's Canale5, because there are no competitors, and Wang Luo's bottom line is $150,000 a episode, so they give the lowest offer.
In addition to this, the Swiss SBC, which is in eighth place, is also the same 150,000 US dollars.
In addition to the priority cooperation rights required by these TV stations, they also have the same requirement, which is to open up network copyrights.
Wang Luo has no opinion on this.
At the beginning, the main reason for blocking foreign IPs was that the website traffic was too large, which seriously affected the experience of domestic users. In addition, Wang Luo also does not want foreign users to see these programs in advance, so as not to affect the follow-up commercial purposes.
After Wang Luo's screening, the list of this batch of cooperation has come out, Japan's NHK TV, 210,000 US dollars.
British Independent Radio, $400,000.
Discovery Channel, $350,000.
Italian Canale 5, 150,000 dollars.
SBC, Switzerland, $150,000.
There are a total of five TV stations, and the overseas copyright of one episode has reached US$1.26 million, and the total overseas copyright income in the first quarter is US$15.12 million.
According to the current exchange rate, Wang Luo, an overseas copyright alone, will receive an income of 96.3 million Huaxia coins.
Although it is not as good as the income of China Entertainment's "Challenge", the net income is much more than theirs.
Moreover, these TV stations are only testing the waters now, and once they achieve good results in their respective countries, then other countries will definitely introduce them.
In addition, there will be a corresponding increase in prices in the second quarter.
Wang Luo is still very satisfied with this result.
Although the TV series is not profitable, but fortunately, in addition to advertising revenue, the website has also begun to have VIP income, although it is only a few tens of thousands of yuan, but if the original price is restored, this will be more than one million income.
In short, the company is currently developing in a relatively good direction, which also makes Wang Luo breathe a sigh of relief.
smashed 300 million a year, and it's still the type that can't even be heard. This kind of investment is not for anyone who has the guts to do so.
Even if Wang Luo is confident, he never dares to be careless in his heart until he sees the results.
"I'm going to negotiate with them for the last time." Wang Biwen nodded and left the office with Wang Luo's opinion.
As long as this cooperation is negotiated, the company will be able to turn over half of its body, and the pressure on Wang Biwen will be much less at that time.
However, before the final contract was signed, Wang Biwen never dared to relax.
After all, with a high salary, he didn't make any contribution to the company, even Wang Biwen was a little embarrassed.
As for Wang Luo, the soreness in his body was swept away at the moment, the total investment of the twelfth phase was about 20 million, and if the domestic income was added, the total income was about 99 million.
The profit is nearly 70 million, although there are still taxes, but for this show, it is undoubtedly a success.
And why did Wang Luo dare to replicate the miracle so boldly? The reason is simple, it is because of preconceived notions.
If people copy this show now, it will definitely not be too popular, because Lu Ming's figure has been remembered in their hearts. No matter what others do, the audience will subconsciously compare with Lu Ming first.
And what Lu Ming showed in the show has also become a kind of benchmark. It's like if I draw a circle on the ground and ask you to draw a circle next to it, the rule is that I draw a circle.
Whatever the outcome, it's hard for anyone to surpass it.
Unless it waits until a few decades later, when people have forgotten Lu Ming's figure, and another person comes out to do the same thing, then another miracle may occur.
However, there are many happy things, in addition to the overseas copyright of "Survival in the Wilderness", some domestic TV stations have also come to the door.
Their purpose is the second round of rotation rights of "Soldier Assault", and the offer does not exceed that of Tianjing Satellite TV, which seems to have become the rule in the industry. (To be continued......)
