Chapter 113: The Big Money Lord is here again

At 11 a.m. on September 27, 2001, the autumn weather in Yanjing was crisp, and many people went out to go out.

Liangmahe Building Fenghua Film and Television Company welcomed a special guest today, this person is Renobu Ueda from the island country NHK.

Ueda is in his forties, average-looking, of medium stature, his face is a little tired, his eyes are bloodshot, and he probably hasn't had a good rest for several days.

Li Shengyao poured him a cup of tea, and Ueda drank it in one gulp, as if he had drunk immortal brew, his eyes lit up a little, and then he drank three cups of tea in a row.

Like Matsuyama before him, he also speaks Mandarin.

"Li Jun, your tea is really good, I am much more energetic now."

Li Shengyao didn't bother to pay attention to why Ueda was so tired, and smiled, "If Mr. Ueda likes it, I can give you some later." ”

If you buy a drama, give two catties of tea.

If you don't buy a drama, then give two or two meanings.

When Ueda heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Thank you Li Jun." ”

"You're welcome."

Ueda then explained his intention to come, and he did come to buy the drama.

It's not about buying "Funny Family", it's about buying "Winter Songs".

Lee understands Ueda's choice.

In fact, in the previous life, the island country did not buy "Funny Family" immediately, and a few years later, the Korean Wave became popular in the island country, and the TV stations of the island country bought "Funny Family".

After all, one hundred and forty episodes have to be weighed.

Now Hualiu has no influence in the island country at all, and it is completely understandable that people don't buy sitcoms.

"Mr. Ueda, there is no problem on my side, but we spent more money on the production of this drama, which is 10 million, so in terms of price, it will be more expensive than "Love Hotel"."

10 million is the data of Fenghua Film and Television Company's external publicity.

Li Shengyao believes that before Ueda came, he must have inquired about the price of Fuji TV's purchase of "Love Hotel".

Although he sold 50,000 episodes to ATV, he sold it to the rich NHK, so naturally there was no need to maintain the original price, didn't he look down on the local tyrants?

Ueda nodded, "How much does Li Jun want for an episode?" ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand episodes."

When Ueda heard this, he frowned slightly.

They used to be 21 episodes of outsourced film and television dramas, and this price was already the top in Asia, Li Shengyao proposed 10,000 or 20,000, and he agreed to it himself.

After mentioning 50,000 yuan, he was about to ask the leader for instructions.

"Li Jun, in addition to the increase in production costs, are there any other advantages of "Winter Love Song"?"

"Yes, Mr. Ueda, you should have seen some clips, we went to Hacheng to shoot, most of the episodes were filmed in a white snow, there are snowflakes flying at any time, the picture is very beautiful."

Li Shengyao paused for a moment, and then said: "The costumes of the main actors we have also improved this time, the male protagonist has changed many sets of coats, all of which are from Burberry from Great Britain, and the heroine has changed dozens of sets of clothes, all of which are from Max Mahler of Italy."

"I can guarantee that the quality of this show is very good."

"The most important point is that this story was written by us racking our brains, the hero and heroine met when they were young, and they were each other's first love, and then the hero lost his memory in a car accident, and ten years later, they met again and fell in love again, which is the love set by God."

Island people especially yearn for old Europe, especially like snow, especially like first love, these three points must be pointed out.

When Ueda heard this, he nodded again and again.

"Okay, Li Jun, I remember everything, wait for me for ten minutes."

Ueda then left the conference room and went to the lounge area to make a phone call.

Five minutes later, Ueda returned, and he was beaming with joy, "Li Jun, we can buy it, two hundred and fifty thousand episodes." ”

"Mr. Ueda, you won't regret it."

"Winter Sonata" is the highest-rated Korean drama in the island country, and it is broadcast in the evening file, and the average rating is still 20%, which can be called terrifying.

NHK's self-made drama urban drama has one million episodes, where is "Winter Love Song" affordable.

The parties then hired a lawyer and signed the contract.

It was agreed that the twenty-five episodes of "Winter Sonata" would be sold to NHK, which would send money within three days.

Ueda closed the contract, and then said: "Li Jun, if you need Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen to go to the island country to publicize, please also assist them in coming, and we will pay for them."

"That's for sure, they will definitely go to the island country to publicize."

"Thank you."

Ueda bowed again.

Li Shengyao is in a very good mood, if you follow the money-making road of "Winter Love Song" in the previous life, now is just the beginning, and the later hero and heroine go to the island country to endorse and shoot advertisements is the time to really make money.

"Mr. Ueda, let's go, let's go to the Liangmahe Hotel together, and I invite you to eat Yanjing roast duck."

When Ueda heard this, he saluted gratefully, "Then bother." ”

Two hours later, Li Shengyao sent Ueda away, and he kept his promise and sent two catties of tea.

"Li Jun, you are a person worth associating, and there will be good dramas in your company in the future, we will always pay attention to it."

"Li Jun, goodbye."

Bowing again, Ueda got in the car and left.

Li Shengyao hummed a minor tune and returned to the company.

"Winter Sonata" was sold to Hong Kong Island and sold to the island country, will Wanwan and New Matai be far away?

That's millions again.

As for the peninsula, he was somewhat unsure.

In the previous life, "Winter Sonata" had a 38% rating on the peninsula, which was a good number, but it was not the most popular drama that year.

But it doesn't matter, if you don't buy it on the peninsula, there are still a lot of Guo Jia anyway.

Lee Sung-yao closed the door, sat down, closed his eyes, and thought of the sales route of Korean dramas in his previous life.

Korean dramas in East Asia and Southeast Asia have similar cultures and a natural sense of closeness, and their idol dramas are well shot and can be sold at normal prices.

However, outside of these two regions, Korean dramas have just begun to sell the same.

So why did Korean dramas sell in Nanmei and Zhong Dong later?

That's because at the beginning, Korean dramas were half sold and half given away, and they were sold to TV stations in these places at a low price.

Korean dramas went to undeveloped areas, and at first they were sold at the price of 1,000 US dollars per episode, and a total of 20,000 US dollars per drama was only 20,000 US dollars.

That's how they open the market.

Those little Guo Jia can't shoot 50 dramas a year, and when they taste the sweetness, they often buy Korean dramas later.

This is the reason why "Winter Love Song" can sell dozens of Guo Jia.

Li Shengyao feels that it is necessary to learn this, to open up other markets, anyway, it is zero, and a thousand dollars is earned in one episode.

Later, the ratings of "Winter Love Song" were high, and they asked Zhao Yangyan Danchen to endorse it, which was the normal price.

He needs sales talents in this area, and he needs to find people from foreign Chinese schools and foreign trade universities to sell "Winter Love Song" and "Love Hotel".

At the same time, these two dramas should also be subtitled in English, Western Banya, Portuguese, and Actinia subtitles.

"If I can create a sales channel, I will be able to sell Chinese dramas in the future, not only the dramas of Fenghua Film and Television Company, but also other good dramas, and I will still earn a profit."
