Chapter 37: The Buyer Comes

Although Yanjing is in the north, it is very hot in summer.

On this day, in the famous Yenching Hotel, in the midst of the noisy crowds, Li Shengyao finally met the person he had been waiting for for a long time.

This person is Shin Dong-viol, the head of the TV drama procurement team from Peninsula KBS.

This person is in his thirties, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, a casual suit, and good looks, in terms of the peninsula, he is a handsome guy.

Shen Dongyue saw Li Shengyao, and was surprised that Li Shengyao was so young, and he was thinking about buying "Love Hotel" cheaply.

After the two sides were polite, Shen Dongyue said in Mandarin: "Director Li, we KBS are interested in introducing "Love Hotel", what is your expected price?"

"The price of normal Chinese dramas can be introduced."

"Oh, then the price of our introduction of Chinese dramas is 10,000 yuan per episode, is it okay?"

Li Shengyao pursed his lips and shook his head, "No." ”

"This ...... How much money does Director Lee want for an episode? ”

"Mr. Shen doesn't have to be sloppy with me, do you want to broadcast it nationwide, or do you want to broadcast it on Chinese drama TV?"

If the world wants to say that the country that pays the most attention to China, it is naturally Annan.

Twenty years later, everything popular in China, whether it is a spiritual guy, a local short drama, or a variety show like "I Am a Singer", will be transported to China by the Annan people, and they all watch it with relish.

And the country second only to Annam is the peninsula.

China's statistics show that the peninsula's resident population in China is about 1.5 million, and the peninsula's own media statistics are about 4 million.

Huaxia is the largest place for international students to study in the peninsula, and the most foreign marriages of women on the peninsula are Huaxia.

"The influence of the peninsula on China", "Is the peninsula man popular in China", "Peninsula leads the rise of China" and other videos have millions of likes.

Peninsula experts have not claimed that Confucius and Mencius were not necessarily peninsulars.

But they do a lot of research every year, and then edit the videos and upload them to YouTube, and these videos are interviews with ordinary people in China, asking them how they feel about the peninsula.

Chinese people are friendly and humble, and generally say good things.

At this time, don't talk about the peninsula, if you ask Rwanda in front of the camera, the people will also say that Rwanda is a country with excellent scenery, warm people and rich culture.

It was meant to be a polite remark, but the people of the Peninsula were so excited that each of these videos had millions of likes.

This is on YouTube, and everyone can see it.

Relations between the two countries may not be good, but the people of the peninsula are absolutely desperate for the recognition of China.

After all, it's my own father.

In later generations, there were many self-media who described the attitude of the peninsula entertainment industry towards Huaxia as lowly and hateful.

One of the major broadcasters in Al Jazeera refused to broadcast Chinese dramas.

This is wrong.

First of all, China has always had a reciprocal policy with foreign countries, and if the three major TV stations on the Peninsula refuse to broadcast Chinese dramas, then Chinese TV stations will not broadcast Korean dramas.

But the reality is that before 2015, many domestic TV stations would broadcast Korean dramas.

The three major television stations in the Peninsula have always broadcast Chinese dramas.

The peninsula has a dedicated Chung Hwa TV, which is a pay channel that is relatively niche and broadcasts Chinese dramas around the clock.

Some local channels on the peninsula, as well as the three major television stations, will actually introduce and broadcast Chinese dramas.

Peninsula people's favorite Chinese drama is historical drama, of course, everyone knows their self-esteem, they will not introduce "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", "Kangxi Dynasty", "Zhenguan Zhizhi" such dramas to describe Chinese emperors.

They like second-class historical dramas, such as the crooked version of "The Legend of the White Lady", "Bao Qingtian", as well as the mainland's "Detective Di Renjie", "Yang Jiajiang", "Mansion Gate", "Qiao's Courtyard", "Bruce Lee" and other film and television dramas.

Regarding modern dramas, Peninsula is relatively rarely introduced, but if the quality is excellent, they will also introduce them, such as "Chinese-style Divorce", the 19th version of "Meteor Garden", and the zero version of "Meteor Garden".

All of the above dramas are broadcast on the three major television stations of the Al Jazeera and are broadcast nationwide.

The 19th version of "Meteor Garden" helped Wang Heli become the top of the Peninsula in one fell swoop, and the number of registered fans on the Peninsula entered the top 50.

The average K-pop idol does not have as many fans as him.

Of course, one of the dramas that can never be ignored is "Huanzhu Gege". (Sorry: I used to think that Huanzhu Gege had average ratings on the Peninsula, but I checked the information later and found that Huanzhu should be very popular on the Peninsula)

First of all, it is necessary to dispel two lies from the media, the first is that "Huanzhu Gege" created a ratings myth and crushed the local dramas on the peninsula.

This is naturally fake, the first five ratings of the Peninsula can be checked, and the highest rating in their history is "First Love" in 97 years, Pei Yongjun is the second male, as high as 67%.

The highest rating in '98 was "You and Me", as high as 62 percent, and the second highest was "Watching and Watching", as high as 57 percent.

The highest rating in '99 was "The Trap of Youth", which was as high as 53 percent, and the second highest rating was "The Last War", which was as high as 45 percent.

The second is because "Huanzhu Gege" is so popular that Al Jazeera has moved the broadcast time from prime time to late night.

It's fake.

At that time, the introduction of "Huanzhu Gege" was SBS, and it was originally arranged to be broadcast at ten o'clock.

Actually, this is a good playtime for Peninsula.

The Peninsula works overtime per person, and they naturally like to stay up late, coffee is their lifeblood.

The average person on the peninsula goes to bed between 1 and 2 a.m., and the elderly and children alike.

In addition, domestic mainstream satellite TV stations do not broadcast foreign dramas in prime time, and peninsulas and island countries are actually the same, and foreign dramas are not broadcast in prime time.

It's not about specifically suppressing Chinese dramas.

In short, the three major TV stations on the Peninsula will also introduce Chinese dramas, and they will arrange to broadcast them in a relatively acceptable time period.

"Huanzhu Gege" did not enter the top five ratings of the Peninsula in 98 and 99.

But it should be very popular, with ratings around forty percent.

The reason why Li Shengyao asked where it was broadcast was because Chinese drama TV is relatively niche, and the dramas above are indeed cheap, 10,000 episodes.

But if it's a drama for the whole country, it will cost seventy or eighty thousand episodes.

When Shen Dongyue heard this, he immediately understood that Li Shengyao was not a layman, he was very optimistic about "Love Hotel", and he would definitely buy it, and said with a wry smile: "Director Li, I'm very sorry, I despised you just now, we will arrange it in the late night file and broadcast it nationwide, and I am willing to buy it at the price of 80,000 episodes."

Li Shengyao didn't bother to pay attention to whether others despised him or not, just give money.

The price of 80,000 episodes is considered a normal level.

He is happy to sell it to the peninsula, this thing will follow suit, the peninsula bought it, and the bend and the island countries have not followed.

Especially the island countries, they give more.

"Okay, I'll make a phone call and ask the lawyer to come to see the contract, and if it goes well, we can sign the contract in the afternoon."

He can't trust the people of the peninsula, so naturally he has to invite professional people to come.

Shen Dongyue nodded, and then asked tentatively: "Director Li, if we want a remake, how much is the copyright fee?"

"One million, you give me one million, and we can sign the contract in the afternoon."
