Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 678 The Fun of Cultivation

Lin Yanan stayed in Xiangjiang for a month. During this period, he confirmed with TVB the follow-up cooperation of "Heroes", and also opened a branch and brokerage company of Kanto Film and Television in Xiangjiang.

In this era, TVB is invincible in the Xiangjiang TV circle. They are notoriously arrogant, but facing Lin Yanan who holds the copyright of "Heroes", they have to lower their proud heads.

No way, who made "Heroes" so popular!
Not to mention its sky-defying ratings results, it directly crushed its competitor ATV, allowing the opponent's ratings to hover only at the word "ten" for more than a month, which caused an extremely heavy blow to the opponent.

Simply speaking, TVB, a wireless station, eats a lot of advertising revenue. During the broadcast of "Heroes", the advertising revenue brought to TVB alone was as high as 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.According to Taiwan's estimates, the TVB's subsequent advertising revenue will exceed 5000 million Hong Kong dollars. You must know that the investment in the entire TV series is only 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Apart from advertising, TVB's most important income is naturally overseas copyright sales.

As a TV station with absolute appeal in Southeast Asia, TVB dramas have always sold very well there.This time "Heroes" became popular, TV stations in Southeast Asian countries immediately bid for TVB, hoping to introduce this TV series.

How could TVB miss such a good opportunity? Naturally, the Lions had to open their mouths.

Television stations in various countries also know that TVB's asking price is high, but they can't stand the news that "Heroes" has attracted the attention of the whole people in Xiangjiang.

In this era, the status of Xiangjiang Film and Television in Southeast Asian countries is like that of Hollywood in the world in later generations. As long as Xiangjiang's popular works are popular in various countries, even many works that have no splash in Xiangjiang can be sent to Southeast Asia. When it is broadcast, it often receives miraculous effects.

Relying on this wave of lions' big mouths, TVB quickly signed contracts with 25 TV stations in nine Southeast Asian countries, and this alone earned 2900 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue.

Lin Yanan, who heard the news, almost took it away without feeling distressed. These should have belonged to the income of Kanto Film and Television.

With the mentality of being robbed at home and being swept away, Lin Yanan showed no mercy in the negotiations with TVB, and rushed to talk about collapse, making TVB who had just received the bonus of "Heroes" trembled, for fear of offending Lin Yanan was killed, and the golden hen of "Heroes" was driven away.

At the end of the negotiation, Lin Yanan won the due benefits for Kanto Film and Television without much effort.

After the negotiation was over, Lin Yanan called He Ping to report, saying that Kanto Film and Television did not get the huge profit from the first "Heroes".

He Ping enlightened her: "Don't limit your height to the gains and losses of one city and one place. You should see TVB's contribution to the adaptation of "Heroes" this time. To put it bluntly, if we cooperate this time It is not TVB, it is Liao Province TV station, even if it is a national TV station, it will be difficult for "Heroes" to achieve such brilliant achievements. Besides, have you won a reasonable return on the follow-up investment of "Heroes" for us? ?”

Lin Yanan also knew that what He Ping said was reasonable, and the matter had already passed, "Mr. He, I was too short-sighted."

He Ping smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are short-sighted or not. I am also moved to hear you say that they sell tens of millions of copyright fees, but I think these are necessary contributions. After all, we don't have TVB in Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia or even The influence and appeal in the East Asian market is just like the so-called good wind, relying on its strength, to send me to the blue sky. This time we have paid for TVB, and we will double the income in the future. This is the direction you should work hard.”

Lin Yanan said loudly: "Mr. He, please rest assured that I will live up to your efforts and expectations."

"Okay, okay, don't express your determination, this kind of thing depends on actual actions."

On the phone, He Ping explained to Lin Yanan some basic principles and operation methods of the investment of Guandong Film and Television Xiangjiang Branch. At the beginning, it mainly focused on cooperative investment. If there are particularly outstanding talents or teams, they can try to cultivate them.

He mentioned several characters to Lin Yanan on the phone, such as Zhou Xingchi, Li Lichi, Liu Weiqiang, Mak Siu Fai who are not yet popular at this time...

These people have front-stage and behind-the-scenes, and at present they are only minor celebrities at most. If Guandong Film and Television can support them in their infancy, the future income should be good.

He Ping really enjoys the feeling of being a big boss behind the scenes. Thinking about how superstars and famous directors of later generations can become famous under his guidance, it is a kind of joy to cultivate.

At the end of the call, Lin Yanan also reported Zhu Shimao's situation to He Ping. She knew that the two were friends, and He Ping asked her to open a brokerage company in Xiangjiang, mainly to support Zhu Shimao.

"I have consulted Brother Mao, and he is very interested in staying in Xiangjiang for development."

"It's understandable. Xiangjiang's cultural export ability and star-making ability are too powerful now. Lao Mao is a person with a career. How could he miss such an opportunity!"

If He Ping mentioned to Lin Yanan before that those unfamous Xiangjiang famous directors and stars gave He Ping hope to develop, then Lao Mao is the ongoing development.

Seeing him step by step deviate from the development track of the original time and space from "The Wrangler", and develop better than the original time and space, He Ping felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Lao Mao's acting skills are good, and his image is also very outstanding. He has the potential to become a superstar.

It can only be said that later generations did not catch up with the good times. In the 90s, the domestic film industry was in disarray, and it was in ruins. It took more than ten years to live. A film actor can only live in the hearts of the audience as a sketch. This cannot but be said to be true. A kind of sadness.

It's different now, with He Ping, a butterfly desperately flapping his little wings, Lao Mao's foundation is fully capable of becoming a superstar.

Holding out a superstar is of great benefit to the development of Kanto Film and Television, not to mention that the two are still friends.

"You have to pay attention. The Xiangjiang entertainment industry has a lot to do with the unexplainable forces. I have already explained to Jiang Yongan that I will introduce some gang figures to you at that time. You can go to them for small matters. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, go to Look for Xiangjiang Global, Xiangjiang is a capitalist society, and you can’t say that you can’t compete with capital, so don’t be arrogant and make your own decisions.” He Ping explained to Lin Yanan before hanging up the phone.

In the past few years, Lin Yanan has managed the film and television city and the film and television company, and her temper has become more and more external. He Ping understands that it is not easy for her to manage so many things, but he does not want her to bring the habits developed in the mainland to Xiangjiang. They are after all To cross the river, it is best not to conflict with local snakes.

Lin Yanan could naturally hear He Ping's protective heart towards her, "Don't worry, I will definitely figure out the situation before I act."
