The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 38

""Love Hotel" is second only to "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", with an audience rating of 5.00%."

"An incredible romantic drama, everyone is fascinated by Li Yuan."

"Gusu Satellite TV announced that it has purchased the rights to broadcast the second and third rounds of "Love Hotel". They will broadcast "Love Hotel" throughout the summer vacation."

"Tomorrow's star - Zhao Yang, a child from Yanjing."

"A 20-year-old director, he has changed the entire internal entertainment industry."

"The production cost of 160 million has created the highest ratings of the local station this year."

"This director is unusual."

With the deepening of the plot, "Love Hotel" broke five points in the ratings of Suzhou Satellite TV, and undoubtedly became the hottest and most discussed drama nowadays.

"Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" has higher ratings, but the viewers are mainly middle-aged and elderly people. They seldom surf the Internet and go to the scene to support stars, so the popularity is naturally not as good as "Love Hotel".

This is the advantage of idol dramas.

Under such an environment, more and more young people are attracted to watch "Love Hotel", and the ratings of this drama will undoubtedly be higher.

Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen have already become well-known celebrities. The two went to various places to promote, and dozens of fans often picked them up when they got off the plane.

There are already a lot of advertising endorsements to find them.

Because there was no agent, the two had no time to talk in person, so they pressured the advertising endorsement, and they all waited for Li Shengyao to establish a film and television company.

"One week at most, I will give you an answer."

Li Shengyao naturally wants to establish a film and television company, but he doesn't have enough funds.

He just got 220 million for broadcasting rights in the peninsula area from kBS.

The first round of broadcast rights in China for "Love Hotel" costs 280 million. After deducting the cost, there is still 120 million.

The subsequent second round of broadcasting rights is [-] episodes, and the third round of broadcasting rights is [-] episodes.

Gusu Satellite TV was very forthright, and paid over early, with a total of 330 million, and after tax deduction, it was 47 to Lee Shengyao.

There should be several hundred thousand rewards from Gusu Satellite TV in the future. For Li Shengyao, it will be at most 10 yuan, which is better than nothing.

His current bank card balance is 280 million.

In this era, a 20-year-old young man has 280 million, which is undoubtedly very good.

But Li Shengyao felt that it was still not enough.

Naturally, his company should be grand. He doesn't really want to rent a house, he wants to buy an office building.

In Yanjing in 2000, the average price was [-] in Zhaoyang District, [-] in TZ District, [-] in Haiding District, and [-] in Fengcheng District.

It is a super fool not to buy a house if you have money at this time.

He is thinking day and night now, waiting for Wanwan and the TV station of the island country to send money.

Finally, on the fifth day after kBS bought the drama, Li Shengyao waited for the rich man in his heart.

A section chief from the island country Fuji TV, his name is Matsuyama Moe, he can speak Mandarin.

Matsuyama is in his forties, not tall, with an average appearance, but with bright eyes, good looks, and very confident.

Although the island country says its economy is stagnant and its society is lifeless, it is the second largest economic power in the world today.

Before 2010, they were still very rich. The production cost of a general urban TV series was about 100 million RMB per episode, and if it was a Dahe drama, it could reach 500 million RMB.

At this time, the production costs of island countries were the highest in Asia.

They are relatively generous in purchasing TV series. The Korean version of "Love Hotel" was sold to Fuji TV for nearly 20 episodes.

The island country in 2000 can be said to be a local tyrant in the eyes of other countries.

Lee Sheng Yew does not intend to make a one-shot deal, he still has many TV series to be sold to the island nation.

Songshan asked him the price, and he also offered 20 yuan.

Songshan heard the words, looked at Li Shengyao, and felt that this person was the roundworm in his heart, and he actually said the price in his heart so accurately.

There are not many young people who are so young, so talented, and so sensible.

He didn't bargain.

"Well, I like "Love Hotel" very much, especially the character of Li Yuan. I like it very much. I have a hunch that this drama will become popular in the island country."

The hunch was right.

"Emotional Hotel" is the fifth highest-rated Korean drama in Japan, with an average audience rating of [-]%.

The buyer at that time was Fuji TV. Fuji TV is a private capital, facing the whole country, and its status is similar to that of Shonan Satellite TV in China.

There is a state-run TV station in the island country, which is NHK. NHK's TV dramas are similar to China's CCTV dramas. They naturally have a large audience base, and their ratings are generally above ten points. Kimura's big dramas often have an average audience rating of seventeen. eight points.

But that is NHK. For Fuji TV, they are already very happy that the drama can have nine points of ratings.

This data can be ranked in the top three of their TV drama ratings list this year.

Later, Daoguo remade "Love Hotel", this time it was broadcast on NHK, and the ratings of the first broadcast were 11.00%, many people said that the ratings were dismal.

In fact, the ratings are normal. At least two-thirds of NHK's first broadcasts do not have eleven points. It can only be said that the expectations are too high and the performance is not as good as expected.

"Mr. Matsuyama, you can trust your judgment."

Songshan nodded and smiled when he heard the words, "Li Jun, the price is very reasonable, but if necessary, I hope Zhao Yang, Yan Danchen, Guo Xiaodong, Liu Xiaoqing and the others can come to the island country to promote, and we will give the appearance fee, Zhao Yang 30, others 20 each."

The island country at this time is generous.

Li Shengyao laughed, "No problem."

The next step is to find a lawyer, then look at the contract, modify some details, and then sign it.

"Li Jun, if we want to remake "Love Hotel", how much is the copyright fee?"

"It's not expensive, just 300 million."

The peninsula is 100 million, and the island country is of course 300 million.

They have money at this time, and they only have three episodes of TV series production fees.

"Okay, Li Jun, I remember."

That night, Lee Sheng Yew received a remittance of 560 million from the island country.

In other words, he owns 840 million.

If you want to buy a house, you must buy a house.

If you go to Zhaoyang District to buy it, it costs only about 400 million yuan per [-] square meters.

Buying an office building is so stylish.

Anyway, he doesn't need to pay for his next drama, and "Funny Family" can shoot 140 episodes, and the rights to broadcast overseas copyrights still belong to him.

This is tens of millions of dollars.

He then called Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen, "We will set up a film and television company in two days, and we will arrange a manager for you."
