Chapter 389: Target: American Drama!

From this point, it can also be seen how terrifying the competition in the American entertainment industry is! And the reason why Americans choose Chinese actors is mainly to look at the Chinese Xia market, and the selected ones are all top star artists in China without exception, anyway, for them, even the salary of top Chinese stars will not be too high, and Chu Shi, who has only debuted for one year and has a huge difference in popularity compared to China's top star artists, is indeed pitiful!

Finally, it is difficult for American dramas to be broadcast on Huaxia TV platforms!

On Huaxia's TV platform, most of the works broadcast are domestic dramas, although Korean dramas are not broadcast much, there can be two or three films a year, which is better than nothing, which is one of the reasons why Korean dramas have a market in China.

But there may not be even one American drama all year round, which will be broadcast on the Huaxia TV platform, and the reason is very simple, it is the word 'expensive'!

Huaxia TV dramas are only for China, although there are many people, but after all, they have certain limitations, while American TV dramas are facing the world, in terms of the market, they will win, and the star artists who are popular in China can only eat in China, but if the shooting of American dramas is popular, they can eat all over the world!

On the other hand, it is also the most intuitive aspect, the per capita economic level of the United States is a cut above that of Huaxia, and the income from investing in film and television works is also more huge→.

The investment in the TV series "The Inheritors" is about 1.5 million Huaxia coins per episode, and if converted into US dollars, it is at best 200,000 per episode. In China, it is barely a large-scale zuò TV series, but it can be placed in the United States. It's just a TV series with a small and medium-cost budget, and the gap is huge. As you can imagine.

For example, Chinese court dramas and high-quality urban wealthy dramas, in the American TV drama industry, at best, they are only a medium-to-large level of investment.

Only super-high-cost TV dramas such as epic historical dramas and high-quality gods and demons can barely reach the level of large-scale TV dramas in the United States.

In China, it is impossible to recover the investment only by virtue of the TV station's advertising share and network broadcast share, and the top entertainment company has filmed such a TV series in a few years, and it has to rely on all the peripherals, the increase in the value of star artists, the company's reputation, word-of-mouth and many other aspects, to be able to barely recover the cost. And such a cost recovery method will take years, or even more than ten years!

After all, millions of TV series invested per episode are converted into US dollars, which is equivalent to the cost of hundreds of thousands, which is indeed a lot of money.

But in the United States, such an investment can only barely be regarded as a big investment in TV dramas, as long as the results are not bad, you can recover all the costs and make a small profit, which also explains. The two sides are really not playing on the same level, at least not on the same level at the moment.

In American dramas, TV dramas that have the ability to compete for the top ten ratings of the year have once again improved to a higher level in terms of production level! Except for a handful of successful examples of small fights. In addition to the upset and lucky works, the TV drama works that can sit firmly on the throne of the previous life of the annual ratings are extremely terrible. Basically, it can reach the level of millions of dollars per episode.

Although the United States is different from China, most of the TV dramas in China are large-scale TV dramas with hundreds of episodes. In the United States, the number of TV dramas with hundreds of episodes is similar to that of two dozen miniseries, but such an investment. It's also quite a terrifying storage zài.

Imagine, if it is a large-scale TV series with hundreds of episodes, even if the production cost of each episode is 1 million US dollars, it will take hundreds of millions of US dollars to complete the production of a TV series! Although such works are very rare, there will be one or two every year, if converted into Huaxia coins......

With billions of Huaxia coins, it's really not something that any entertainment company can afford to play!

And the incomparably high investment cost of TV dramas also represents a rather terrifying achievement, which eventually evolved into an incomparably high broadcast cost!

Just imagine, even if the investment in a mini-series has reached the level of 30 million US dollars and 200 million Chinese coins, even if such a work wants to win the broadcast rights, there is no need to think about it without tens of millions of funds, and spending tens of millions of funds to buy the broadcast rights of TV dramas is naturally a situation that many TV stations in Huaxia do not want to see, after all, such TV series have already been broadcast on the Internet over and over again, even if they are broadcast on TV, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain too high ratings.

If you want to premiere in the United States, Huaxia will premiere at the same time, but in this way, the broadcast cost will be more than tens of millions of Huaxia coins can be handled, even if it is Mango Channel, it definitely does not have such a huge courage, after all, the risk is too great, and I dare not take such a huge responsibility.

If it is an American drama invested by a domestic entertainment company, and all the income of the TV series in Huaxia is owned by this company, it can meet the standard, and the American drama in Huaxia will be broadcast on TV in the mode of advertising sharing, but the problem is ......

No entertainment company in Huaxia has the confidence to go out to play American dramas with big investment, and Europe and the United States obviously don't want Huaxia's entertainment companies to come over to their side to share such a huge profit, so they have led to zhì So far, there is no American drama with a large investment system that can be broadcast on Huaxia's TV platform.

It is indeed possible to broadcast on the Internet, but after all, the TV platform is the most mainstream platform for all TV drama works, and it is also a very important way of publicity.

Many reasons also show that although there are people in American dramas, with huge investment and huge returns, as long as the quality of the work is excellent, the actors can also get great help. But the problem is that the risk is too big and the threshold is too high, let alone a dimensional entertainment company. Even among all the entertainment companies in Huaxia, none of them can play at present.

and American dramas. Huaxia's top entertainment companies are still more keen on the development of movies, after all, and TV dramas, whether it is forced or profitable, it is obviously that movies are better, and in terms of investment, everyone is about the same, and the tone of shooting TV series is better than putting more effort into the movies they are more eager for.

That's it, so far. It is precisely for this reason that a few years ago, when Chu Shi had not yet debuted and was analyzing his future development and the world's entertainment trends, he had already decided that he would eat this cake sooner or later!

As early as a long time ago, Chu Shi had already conducted a deep analysis of American dramas, although it was quite difficult for Huaxia Entertainment Company to engage in large-cost American dramas. Whether it is funds, thresholds or others, it can be described as a thousand difficulties, but if you can tear a hole in this area, the benefits will be very terrifying!

And even if it squeezed into the U.S. market. On the surface, it may seem like they are stealing the cake of the entertainment companies in the United States, but in fact, they won't do their best to snipe you!

As long as you communicate with them in a cooperative way. A large-cost American drama occupies only a part of the share. Eventually, you'll snatch a piece of cake from them, but you're the real cake. But it's the profit of Huaxia!

For the major entertainment companies in the United States, in order to reduce the risk, they usually cooperate with other entertainment companies, and choose other people or Chu Shi, which is actually about the same.

And the most important thing is that Chu Shi can negotiate with it at the price of 'Huaxia Market', and ask for less shares and shares, and if he holds all the Huaxia Market in his hands, it will also be a great benefit for the other party.

Anyway, they can't conquer the Huaxia market, so it's better to hand it over to Chu Shi and exchange it for a part of the profits in their hands!

If he can succeed, then after this, Chu Shi will be able to tear a crack in the American TV drama circle, as the first person to eat crabs, as long as Chu Shi has vision and courage, he will be able to make a lot of money.

Of course, at that time, there are definitely not a few Huaxia entertainment companies that want to drink soup behind Chu Shi, but even if it is a mouthful of soup, it is not so easy to drink it in the mouth, the first thing to do is to have an incomparably accurate vision, which is not possessed by more than ninety percent of Huaxia's entertainment companies, even if luck makes a lot of money, it may not last long in the end.

Secondly, it is courage, which has once again brushed off the vast majority of entertainment companies! The decision-makers of small and medium-sized entertainment companies have this courage, but they do not have enough financial support, while the decision-makers of large, top entertainment companies have this courage, and the shareholders of the company may not have such courage.

In this way, even if Chu Shi eats delicious and tempting crabs, no one will follow Chu Shi to drink soup in a short time, and Chu Shi will definitely be able to make a lot of money easily!

Of course, the risks are also enormous! Even Chu Shi didn't dare to make a desperate bet to open up this market, but chose to open up this market after developing Ice World Entertainment Company and Dimensional Entertainment Company to a certain level and stabilizing it.

Even if it fails, it will definitely not affect the development of these two entertainment companies, at best, it will only make Chu Shi suffer a heavy loss.

Of course, before the dust settles, even if Nami Miyazaki is a person who has an extremely close relationship with Chu Shi, Chu Shi will not be able to elaborate.

Buzz!

Just as Chu Shi and Miyazaki Nami were chatting, Chu Shi's mobile phone suddenly rang, Chu Shi's face changed, and he hurriedly took out the phone - even many people who were close to Chu Shi only had the phone of his assistant Liu Hong in their hands, and others, even his own father, would call Liu Hong first if there was something urgent.

Only people who are extremely close to him will call him directly when he is in an emergency, and after seeing the number on his mobile phone come out, the nervous look on Chu Shi's face instantly dissipated, replaced by a strong joy.

It's a foreign number!

There are not many foreigners known to Chu Shi, and although there are some foreigners who have introduced "Voice of China" from many countries, none of them have Chu Shi's private phone number. The only person who really holds Chu Shi's phone number is Adam Lambert, who has a very good relationship with Chu Shi!

Initially. Chu Shi and Adam Lambert didn't know each other, and they only met on the stage of "The Voice of China". It is also the only chance for the two to meet so far.

But on the stage of "The Voice of China", Chu Shi gave Adam Lambert an English song, which made him quickly have extraordinary popularity in China, and with this song, it is also a big hit in Europe and the United States, occupying the top position on the major charts for a long time, and also gaining countless wealth and popularity for himself.

The help to Adam Lambert was huge, terrifying!

At first, Adam Lambert felt that this qiē was all the credit of Chu Shi, and wanted to share most of his profits with this song to Chu Shi. Although they were rejected by Chu Shi in the end, from this matter, it also reflects the personality of the two.

They all want to give a fairly large fortune to each other for free, but the other party doesn't want to accept it, even if such a person is bad, he is worthy of becoming a friend, right?

Of course, this is not that Chu Shi does not love money, although Chu Shi loves money, he can make a lot of money every time. They all abide by the basic bottom line! When he first handed over this song to Adam Lambert, the request was to let him participate in the "Voice of China Summit" several times for free, and strive to develop "The Voice of China Summit" into one of the best music festivals in China in the next few years.

Although there is no monetary benefit in sight in the short term. But the actual harvest is far more important than the mere money!

Of course, the difficulty is very high. But Chu Shi believes that as long as he works hard. Someday it will be successful!

And something more important, the song that Chu Shi sent out. Only Adam Lambert could have sung such a horrific effect, and it was impossible for any other singer to achieve such a hot performance.

In this way, even if this song is popular, it is impossible for Chu Shi to charge even a dime extra, even if this is Adam Lambert took the initiative to give it, Chu Shi categorically refused, but it was also through such a thing, so that the friendship between Chu Shi and Adam Lambert was established instantly.

Although the two have only met once and have never met again, this friendship has been established.

Well, although Adam Lambert has already officially announced that he has come out of the closet, and when Chu Shi's friendship with him is placed on the big screen, and when Chu Shi has a super high popularity similar to Adam Lambert in the Western country, he will definitely be mistaken for the same coming out, but even so, Chu Shi has already regarded him as his friend - of course, no matter what, Chu Shi will not agree to have a relationship with Adam Lambert, although he does not have this idea now.

And after that, Chu Shisi thought about it, and also sent a request to Adam Lambert as a friend - ask Adam Lambert to come forward and buy the copyright of a comic work! Including a series of copyrights such as movies, TV series, online games, novels, peripheral products, mobile games, etc., to be precise, in addition to the comic income of this comic work itself, any other rights and interests that may give birth to income, Chu Shi intends to acquire them all!

Adam Lambert also knows that Chu Shi is not only an excellent variety show screenwriter and music creator, but also an excellent TV drama screenwriter and actor, and he also guesses that Chu Shi intends to adapt this comic work into a TV series work, in fact, in the United States and many other countries, there are not a few examples of comic works adapted into film and television works.

The most famous in the world is Marvel Comics, including Superman, Batman, Iron Man, Fantastic Four and other comic book characters, all of which were sold at very high and almost terrifying figures, and were adapted into movie examples, which also led to the habit of adapting comics into film and television works in the United States.

It's just that Chu Shi likes this black-and-white comic, compared to Marvel superheroes, there is still a world of difference, although the company to which the comic belongs is a well-known comic in the United States, and the writer is also quite famous, but this work is obviously different from ' The film and television works with the theme of heroes are completely different and do not meet the tastes of the vast majority of Americans, which is why this comic book, which has been serialized since 2003 and is created at a rate of one volume per month, has so far not been the main reason why no film and television company is willing to buy the copyright and adapt the film and television works.

It is also for this reason that at the beginning, the comic book company planned to sell tens of millions of dollars in copyright fees, but now, the price has dropped several times, but it has been unpopular.

But Chu Shi took a fancy to this work, and asked Adam Lambert, who is quite famous in the United States, to come forward to help negotiate, after all, in the United States, whether it is Chu Shi himself or Chu Shi's entertainment company, there is not even the slightest bit of popularity, and it is indeed difficult to negotiate, but although Adam Lambert is just a singer, as a quite famous superstar, Adam Lambert also knows many big names in the entertainment industry, and it can be more convenient to ask them to help talk.

And Adam Lambert did not live up to Chu Shi's trust, and often sent emails to Chu Shi during this time, telling about the progress of the negotiations! (To be continued......)
