At the beginning, Fox FX signed an agreement with Boob Stitch Monster that as long as "Plastic Surgery Room" could reach 1 million viewers, it would get $600,000 per episode.

"Plastic Surgery Room" is not the same as "Friends".

"Friends" is mainly indoors, basically the scenes, layouts, props, extras and so on, it doesn't cost anything.

"Plastic Surgery Room" has a large number of outdoor scenes, and all kinds of bloody scenes also need to be realistically produced, so that the senses will be stimulated and the original intention of this drama can be achieved.

So no matter how much the crew saves, the price of $600,000 per episode is only $200,000 in pre-tax profits.

As an experimental series, the first season of "Cosmetic Surgery Room" only has 12 episodes, and if calculated at this price, the whole child only earns 2.4 million US dollars.

Of course, there are other copyright incomes, but this is obviously not what Xuluo wants, I believe that all the crew and production staff do not want "Plastic Surgery Room" to be just qualified.

From the beginning, they went for at least 3 million viewers per episode and $2 million per episode for subscriptions.

The price of $2 million is what can only be achieved by the 10 million viewers signed for the second season of Friends.

As for whether it can break through 5 million viewers and get the sky-high price of 3 million per episode, everyone is still cautious.

As Xu Luo said to Sister Lin, cable TV networks and public TV networks are different, and the audiences of the two overlap, or there is still a big difference.

To be honest, 3 million viewers only pay $2 million, which is a bit harsh on a cable network.

Usually, if there are some old-fashioned TV series, 2 million viewers can get 2 million US dollars.

But who called the Bubu Stitching Monster a rookie company?

Even with the success of "Friends", it is only the first season.

Even if "Plastic Surgery Room" feels very innovative and does a good job, all TV stations will be cautious.

Those pilot episodes are doing well, but the TV series that are getting worse and worse later, there will be many every year.

Besides, "Plastic Surgery Room" has the same problems as "Friends", and there is no well-known actor, which is one of the reasons why TV stations dare not give big prices.

After all, with famous actors, you can attract more audiences, and all dramas with unfamiliar actors have inherent disadvantages.

But "Plastic Surgery Room" still exploded.

Since the first episode, word of mouth has been climbing dramatically.

The viewers of the national cable television network have no resistance to this kind of bloody and exciting TV series.

Otherwise, I just want to watch free family TV dramas, why do I have to pay money every month to open a cable TV network?

"Plastic Surgery Room" is thrilling, exciting, bloody, and very clean, which is very appealing to their appetite.

So the 1.9 million viewers of the first episode are just the beginning.

The second episode reached 2.2 million, and the third episode directly broke through to 3 million, showing a trend of straight up.

According to Fox FX's survey feedback, stabilizing above 3.5 million viewers per episode is not a big problem.

This means that the goal of the Cloth Stitch can be achieved.

When Miss Chen Xiyue called Xuluo, her tone was like a spring breeze, and she looked proud and ambitious.

And it's no wonder.

When the first episodes of "Friends" and "Plastic Surgery Room" end one after another, the reputation of the Bobu Stitching Monster will be further solidified and will usher in more people's attention.

There are many companies that will make a hit TV series.

But you can make two different types of popular TV series, but you really have to rely on excellent skills.

After the fame of these two TV series, and if you do TV series in the future, those actors who have never met with talents will come to audition more actively, come over to show their strength, and let the cloth stitching monster find more excellent actors.

There is really no shortage of good actors.

Many good actors have acted in dramas for a lifetime, but they can't get ahead, they can only barely survive on meager salaries, and even leave secretly in the end.

On the other hand, many big stars, do you think the acting skills are outstanding?

For example, Bruce Willis, who became popular with "Die Hard" a few years ago, how much acting skills does he have?

And that Brooke Xiaosi, who is known as as the eighth wonder of the world, what acting skills does she have?

Therefore, Chen Xiyue's idea of only looking for cheap and high-quality acting actors is very practical.

But it's not without its downsides.

For example, Chen Xiyue told Xuluo that many newspapers and magazines are criticizing them, saying that Bubu Stitching Monster uses harsh contracts to bind the actors, and is an evil capitalist.

This is mainly about the contract of the Boob Stitching Monster to the main actors for eight or ten seasons.

The price is low, the time is long, and the requirements are many.

Real big-name actors don't bother to sign such contracts.

Many people who watch the excitement also think it is too much.

But the actors who signed these contracts, when they were interviewed, were grateful to the cloth quilting monster.

"No, no, no, how could I complain? Without the Boob Stitching Monster, I'm still an obscure advertising girl! Who am I now? Everybody's favorite Rachel!"

"I think you have to look at this thing, what do you need, what do you want? I think it's a great luck for me to be in "The Plastic Surgery Room!"

"Hehe, this is already very good, not only do we have enough protection, but we can also get continuous dividends every year in the future! I just want Friends to get better and better so I can get better and better!"

"No matter what you say, being able to star in "The Plastic Surgery Room" is the right decision of my life! Wait and see, it will be more exciting in the future!"

"Friends has changed my life a lot, and even though the pay is not very high, advertisers have come to me now! It makes sense for everyone to take what they need!"

「……」

I don't know if they deliberately said it to Xuluo and Chen Xiyue, or if they were sincere.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as the Cloth Stitch Monster had a careful and all-round control contract from the beginning, they wouldn't be able to make any waves even if they were careful.

In addition to the cloth stitching monster, Fox FX, which has received greater benefits, also announced to the outside media that because they are optimistic about the future of "Plastic Surgery Room", they have paid the purchase fee in full according to the standard of 3 million viewers.

12 episodes with a total of 9.6 million US dollars, which has reached the account of the cloth stitching monster, with a profit of more than 400%!

But Chen Xiyue still felt that his money was too little.

Because the budget of "Jurassic Park" was made a total of 5 times, not only did it not reduce the cost, but further extrapolated its production cost to a high of 35 million US dollars!

Compared with this sky-high amount, the more than 20 million in the hands of the cloth sewing monster is far from enough.

In addition, preparations for tax returns will begin in March, and a new season of "Friends" will be produced next...... Wait, which one doesn't cost anything?

Hearing this, Xuluo had no better way.

He is now looking forward to the early release of "My Fair Daddy" produced by Nobuyuki Idei of Sony, so that he can get dividends as soon as possible.

10% of the box office profit share can be obtained immediately, and 20% of the peripheral derivative copyright share should not be thought about in the short term.

Speaking of the Japanese people, in fact, the girl who was confused at the time also forgot one thing.

That is "Tokyo Love Story" written by Xuluo in Japan, which will also be broadcast in January this year!

TV Asahi solemnly launched "Tokyo Love Story" on January 7.

Accompanied by "Sudden Love" sung by Xuluo, countless Japanese viewers fell into the pit one episode.

The first episode had a 17% rating!

To know

, the best at making TV dramas in Japan is Fuji TV, TBS TV, and Asahi TV.

TV Asahi is the third!

On TV Asahi, more than 8% of TV dramas can be broadcast forever, and 12% of TV dramas have to be annual hits, and they don't appear every year.

Now the first episode of "Tokyo Love Story" has hit 17%!?

This was completely unexpected by everyone!

even included the starring Suzuki Ho*** and Oda Yuji.

They originally thought it was an ordinary job, but they didn't expect such a bumper harvest!

But at that time, everyone remained cautiously optimistic.

The ratings of the first episode are not really good, and they can only be considered successful if they can be sustained!

Then on the past January 14th, the second episode of "Tokyo Love Story" had a rating of 20.3%!

On January 21st, the third episode of "Tokyo Love Story" received 22.1% of the ratings!

！

Steady!

It's completely stable!

It shows not only the continuous rise in ratings, but also the extremely good word-of-mouth!

People began to frantically discuss "Tokyo Love Story", discuss Rika Akana, discuss Kanji Nagao, and discuss "Sudden Love" sung by the Chinese singer.

The original book "Tokyo Love Story" has just been released, and 370,000 copies have been sold in two weeks.

A more direct performance is "Sudden Love", which dominated the first meter of the public trust chart for three consecutive weeks after the single was released on January 7, and officially shipped more than 600,000 copies, creating a record.

Under the instructions of Sony's senior management, Sony Music immediately divided the first batch of royalties belonging to "Sudden Love" - 500,000 US dollars, to Xuluo's account.

The money was used to pay for the instant noodle production line and the renewal of the lease of 5 celebrity instant noodle factory employees.

Shibuya Yoyogi Park, where Rika Akana and Kanji Nagao broke up, also welcomed thousands of couples to take photos here.

And when Suzuki Bao*** was traveling, he was even surrounded by crazy fans and hid in the bathroom of the mall.

That relied on hundreds of policemen. The scene where Chacai "rescued" her was broadcast on TV again and again.

All of this shows that Xuluo has been a great success!

So it wasn't just TV Asahi who called to congratulate him for the first time, Sony's Junko congratulated, and even Shinyuki Idei happily praised the genius of Yuraku.

This Sony's hope for the future is also more confident in "My Fair Daddy".

"My Fair Daddy", which is scheduled to be released in North America in February, is already ready to go, and I don't know how many Japanese ambitions it has carried!
