Chapter 257: Busy at the Start of the Year (Eighth Shift 6/6)
Koraku signed a contract with Junko, who had come from Nichiban to enjoy 0.5% of annual sales, and since then he has been more closely connected with Sony.
This is also what Akio Morita and Nobuyuki Idei would like to see.
Of course, this is what Xuluo wants to see.
It was already early March.
The box office of "My Fair Daddy" in North America is being further harvested.
Of course, the box office in the fourth week did not reach $53 million, but dropped to $44 million!
Gee!
$44 million!
This is the fourth week box office champion record holder in Hollywood's history.
The people of Mi have become numb.
The Japanese people once again ushered in a nationwide high dynasty.
In the past few years, their crazy acquisitions in Miguo have all ushered in huge losses.
Now a big company has finally stepped up and raised its eyebrows for them.
As a void that can get the second benefit, it is also a win.
There are more than 30 Haolaiwu Film Companies that found the Bubu Stitching Monster and Chen Xiyue, including the remaining five of the six Haolaiwu films.
They all want to use the high price to attract Xuluo and let Xuluo write a script for them.
In order to make them as successful as My Fair Daddy.
didn't need to look for Xuluo, Chen Xiyue politely refused.
It's not the tough one, so it means that there is a chance to cooperate again.
But in fact, how could Chen Xiyue let Xuluo give the script to others?
This fame thing, it's good to have one time!
Do the rest yourself!
Not to mention that he is all single-handedly handled, after all, there is still a part of distribution, and the six major Hollywood are monopolies.
But you're at least partnering with someone, aren't you?
The relationship between Xuluo and Sony, Asia may be more emotional than substantial, but it is different in Miguo, with "My Fair Daddy", which is a real iron buddy partner.
Therefore, the cloth stitching monster at least has the release of Sony Columbia as a base.
In this way, other issuing companies have no way to lower the price.
We can only work together more fairly.
Although Sony is now a hardcore alliance of Xuluo, it is not enough to cooperate with Sony alone, and other companies must occasionally cooperate in order to have a restraining effect.
Otherwise, the Japanese people are not a good thing!
In addition, the cloth stitching monster is not without its own achievements.
"Plastic Surgery Room" has been broadcast for 8 episodes, and the latest eighth episode has reached 3.88 million viewers, and it looks like it is about to break 4 million!
The 3.88 million viewers are on the public television network, which is just a scum, and it is not bad to be able to sustain it.
But in the cable network, it's really fragrant!
It is said that the number of people who have opened the channel to watch Fox FX because of "Plastic Surgery Room" has exceeded 200,000!
Don't underestimate 200,000 people!
This is already the most time in the past 2 years that Fox FX has opened a fee for a single TV series!
Fox FX expects that number to increase to 300,000 by the time the 12 episodes of the first season of "The Plastic Surgery Room" airs in March!
So they actively discussed with Bubu Stitching Monster for the first time, can they let "Plastic Surgery Room" hurry up to produce a second season, and then broadcast it in the fall? ….
And this time it's better to have 24 episodes, the kind that can be broadcast for six months, or even a few more episodes!
Everything is negotiable in terms of price.
Was it $600,000 for 1 million viewers before?
Now in the second season, 1 million viewers will directly give 1 million US dollars!
The number of viewers rose from 2 million to 1.5 million!
3 million viewers is 3 million!
If it has 5 million viewers, it will give 5 million in one episode!
The previous maximum of 5 million viewers was only 3 million US dollars!
Well, now, if you can go from 5 million viewers to 1 million, you will be given another $2 million!
If the number of viewers reaches 10 million, Fox FX will pay Boob Stitch Monster $15 million in one episode!
Of course, this kind of viewership is impossible to achieve.
Since the launch of the cable network, there has never been a TV series with more than 10 million viewers.
If "Plastic Surgery Room" can really reach 10 million viewers, then Fox FX will definitely give even if it loses money - not to mention 10 million viewers, how can Fox FX be made in blood!
In the face of Fox FX's high-priced requests and requests, Chen Xiyue smiled and said nothing.
Xuluo's own "Plastic Surgery Room" has 30 episodes, which is enough for 12 episodes of the first season.
But Chen Xiyue is very bold, isn't there Ryan Murphy, a tool man, to continue to write the story of "Plastic Surgery Room"?
By the time "The Plastic Surgery Room" was filmed, Ryan Murphy had already written 8 episodes of the story.
The first 2 episodes took 4 weeks, the middle 2 episodes took 3 weeks, and the last 4 episodes took 4 weeks.
He's getting faster and faster, and he's getting better and better.
Chen Xiyue directly asked Ryan Murphy to take the 4 episodes that he thought were wonderful and fill them in the first season of "Plastic Surgery Room".
Ryan Murphy was going crazy with joy, and there was another serious revision and arrangement, and he filled in the 4 episodes with trepidation.
Because each episode of "Plastic Surgery Room" is an unrelated story, or there are some supporting character connections, but they can be roughly separated.
Not to mention that Ryan Murphy spent a month just reading and studying the original 30 episodes written by Xuluo, and the content he wrote was very well connected with Xuluo's version of "The Plastic Surgery Room", and it would not be abrupt at all.
So the first season of "Plastic Surgery Room" became 8 episodes of the Void Luo version + 4 episodes of Ryan Murphy's version.
Only Chen Xiyue has the courage to dare to use a script from an author who has never written and written a script before.
Of course, she is not blind, firstly, Xuluo appreciates Ryan Murphy's writing and the plot of the story very much, and secondly, the people in the screenwriting department also watched Ryan Murphy's 4 episodes of stories in advance, thinking that in addition to the proficiency and plot transformation are not as good as Xuluo's, in terms of novelty and popularity, they can be compared with the original version of Xuluo.
That's why Chen Xiyue did it.
The purpose is to save Xuluo's script, and "Plastic Surgery Room" can be dragged to a longer length, so that it can be filmed for a few more seasons and achieve better economic benefits.
And then it was also Ryan Murphy who had enough confidence to sharpen him to become an ace screenwriter of Boob Stitch Monster.
Chen Xiyue did not treat Ryan Murphy badly, and on the screenwriter lineup of "Plastic Surgery Room", Ryan Murphy's name was written behind Xuluo, which caused many people.
But Ryan Murphy himself understands that the gap between himself and Xuluo is still not small. ….
Because of the 8 episodes of "Plastic Surgery Room" broadcast so far, 3 episodes were written by him, and as a result, the ratings and praise of these 3 episodes are significantly lower than those of Xuluo.
In order to make himself an ace screenwriter, in order to make Xuluo realize his promise as soon as possible - to take a season of "Plastic Surgery Room" to him as a director in the future, so that he can be officially promoted, Ryan Murphy has recently eliminated all interference and is seriously polishing his script.
Therefore, in fact, there is no shortage of scripts for the strange "Plastic Surgery Room" now, what is twenty-four episodes? Thirty episodes are all properly won!
The same goes for the actors, the two protagonists are signed for 8 seasons, and more than a dozen supporting roles with scenes are also signed for 3-8 seasons.
In this way, the original lineup can be maintained at any time, so the quality of the production will not be bad.
So why is Chen Xiyue waiting?
Because she has confidence in "Plastic Surgery Room", she is confident that the last four episodes of "Plastic Surgery Room" will definitely end with more than 4 million viewers.
Compared with the current result, this achievement is another kind of improvement.
When the time comes, there will be many advantages in the negotiations.
For example, schedule requirements, various publicity requirements...... Wait, there's so much to offer!
……
In addition to "Plastic Surgery Room", another work of Xuluo, "The Walking Dead", which has been forgotten by the audience, has recently jumped out again.
"The Walking Dead" is a comic work published in August last year, when Dark Horse Comics began production.
Just do a fresh try at first.
Dark Horse Comics knows that "The Walking Dead" is very good, so not only is it published and produced quickly, but the conditions for Xuluo are also very good.
But they didn't know that "The Walking Dead" was surprisingly good.
Since November, the world view of "The Walking Dead" has gradually unfolded, and as Rick left the CDC with his team, began a larger-scale adventure and casualties, as well as the emergence of endless enemies, and Sean's manic arrogance laid the groundwork, the plot entered the first wave of high dynasty.
At that time, "The Walking Dead" had already been named "probably the big discovery of the year".
In January of this year, they arrived at a second shelter, an abandoned prison. In prison, she was confronted with the Governor's murderous and cunning schemes, and Lori died after a caesarean section...... These plots are all addictive to comic book fans.
The flesh-and-blood style of "The Walking Dead", as well as the complex relationships between people, salvation and betrayal, etc., have become very distinct.
Fans of comics who like it will always like it, and those who don't like it will leave long ago, and then continue to accumulate die-hard fans to form a huge power.
As a result, the sales of Dark Horse Comics have further climbed, and the sales have increased by 16% from August to March.
I can't say that all of it is due to "The Walking Dead", but at least most of it comes from this.
So in February, they officially released a single comic book for "The Walking Dead", and the North American sales of the first volume quickly exceeded 300,000 copies.
The sales are so good, and there are no production companies looking for Xuluo and want to buy the copyright of "The Walking Dead" - the cloth is stitched here, who can snatch Xuluo's script from Xuluo's company!?
The single line of this contract is all entrusted by Xuluo to the cloth cloth stitching monster to help him negotiate.
The money earned does not need to be taken back to China, and it is left in the country for later use.
The teenager has not forgotten that the production cost of "Jurassic Park" is at least 30 million, or even 50 million US dollars is not too much!
The copyright fees of hundreds of thousands are not even scum.
However, when the dividends of "My Fair Daddy" came down, Xuluo felt at ease.
According to this box office situation, "My Fair Daddy" broke through the box office of 200 million US dollars, and there was no difficulty at all.
It depends on how much it can break through 200 million US dollars!
I don't want to reach the box office results of "Batman 2" or even "" that broke 500 million US dollars.
Reaching Home Alone's $286 million is a big win!
