China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 283: Running Man Overseas Starts! (Please subscribe)
After attending the premiere of "The Wind", Lu Yuan rushed back to Yanjing overnight.

Because Zeng Li is back.

This time, she played outside for nearly a month.

When he returned home, Lu Yuan originally thought there would be a big battle, but it turned out to be only a brief encounter.

Li Zi refused Boss Lu's request to go into battle again on the grounds of preparing for pregnancy.

As a last resort, Lu Yuan could only stop his activities.

After Zeng Li returned, she took a short rest for two days, adjusted her condition, and then got back to work.

The script for "Before Dawn" has been written, and filming is expected to begin by the end of the year. Preparatory work has already begun.

And Lu Yuan had no time to spare.

While he had to prepare an English album, he also had to take care of the company's affairs.

On October 10, Lu Yuan reached a cooperation agreement with American Formate Media Company. Formate Media spent US$3 million to purchase the copyright royalties for "The Voice".

US$400 million is just the license fee for two years.

If the American version of "The Voice" becomes a hit, the next renewal will be for $400 million.

Format Media Company introduced "The Voice" mainly to compete with "America's Talent" and "America's Idol".

These two shows, in America, are considered national-level variety shows.

Although "The Voice" may not necessarily be able to blaze a trail, but with the successful experience in the Chinese market, the success rate is at least much higher than other creative ideas.

In fact, Format Media doesn't want to compete with "America Idol", as long as it can be half as popular as "America Idol".

They can make a lot of money!

With the completion of this deal, the copyright of "The Voice" seems to be on a fast track to overseas expansion.

Producers from regions such as Little Bangzi, Little Days, Canada, Eagle Country, and Windmill Country, which we have been talking about before, also donated generously.

However, their bids were not as high as those in North America.

The highest one was only 100 million U.S. dollars. For seven or eight regions, the accumulated copyright fees were about 600 million U.S. dollars.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the price is lower. The guidance provided by Star Media is of course different.

On America's side, Star Media will dispatch a permanent team of ten people (salaries will be paid by Format during the production period) to coach the production.

For those who lack sincerity, Star Media will only send a team to provide temporary guidance for a month, and the remaining time will be remote online coaching.

This 1000 million U.S. dollar copyright fee has nothing to do with Magic City TV. It is an income that belongs exclusively to Star Media.

Moreover, once the two-year authorization period is up, you can continue to collect.

If "The Voice" performs well overseas, this copyright will be an endless gold mine. As long as someone buys it, they can keep blocking the way to collect money.

Xingchen Media did not hide the news about the overseas copyright expansion of "The Voice". Instead, they bought several notices and officially announced the overseas copyright expansion.

of course.

The specific copyright income was not mentioned in the announcement.

Make a fortune in silence.

Anyway, Star Media is not a listed company and has no obligation to disclose financial reports.

However, even if the copyright revenue was not announced, the news shattered a lot of people's glasses.

They can understand if the TV series goes overseas.

How will "The Voice" be released overseas?
Many people who don't know the truth think that the video of the first season of "The Voice" was imported from other countries.

Because of this, many jokes were made.

Many netizens rushed under the scarves of the first season trainees to congratulate their idols, who will soon appear on foreign TV stations.

After receiving these blessings, the students were also confused.

Am I going to be on a foreign TV station?
Why don’t I know it myself?Not to mention netizens, many people in the industry also think so, and many practitioners do not have enough copyright awareness.

Can't tell the difference between program and model authorization.

In the end, it was the Tianya Forum that made the most of its efforts. A certain netizen introduced the copyright transaction model of "The Voice" to people who don't know the truth.

However, even with popular science, many people still don’t understand it.

Can the model also be charged?

Isn't it okay if I just change the name to something similar in form?

Spend extra money?

Just as "The Voice" is making a lot of noise over the overseas copyright expansion, the first recording of the first season of "Running Man" has also begun.

The seven resident MCs, Deng Chao, Lin Gengxin, Shen Teng, Ailun, Wang Baoqiang, Chen Xiao, and Zhao Liying, all assembled.

Lu Yuan did not copy the first season of "Running Man". The original first episode was recorded in Hangzhou because the broadcast platform was Blue Channel.

Today, the first broadcast platform of Running Man is Suzhou Satellite TV.

The recording location was of course moved to Jiangsu Province.

There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. After several rounds of screening, the first stop of "Running Man" was placed in Suzhou.

In the first season's game segments, except for the acupressure board, ejection seat, and tearing off name tags, the rest of the game segments were designed by the variety show department themselves.

Seeing the final product, Lu Yuan found it quite interesting.

The popularity of "Running Man" is not due to how attractive the resident MC is.

When the original version of "Running Man" was recorded, only Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, and Chen He were more famous, while others like Da Baobao, Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and Wang Zulan were not as famous.

Rather than people praising the program, it is better to say that the program praising people.

The first domestic outdoor reality show, interesting and novel game sessions, celebrity participation, outdoor and other elements are superimposed to achieve the success of Running Man.

Therefore, Lu Yuan is not worried at all about whether this show will be popular.

Adequate funding + freedom of movement + fun and novelty. As long as these three things are done well, it is only a matter of time before "Running Man" becomes popular.

In the first issue of Running Man, in addition to the seven resident MCs, there are also two flying guests, Lu Yuan and Yang Mi.

The popularity of "Sword and Sword 3" directly pushed Yang Mi's career to a new level.

Popularity is bursting!

At this time, Yang Mi has signed a contract with Xingchen Media. Since she is an artist under her own company, this popularity will not be wasted.

The guests for the second phase have now been confirmed.

The other three protagonists of "Sword and Sword 3" are Hu Ge + Liu Shishi + Tang Yan.

The popularity of "Sword and Sword 3" is confirmed by Lu Yuan!

The guests of the third issue are 07 Kuainan, Su Xin, Chen Chusheng, Lu Rover + Lu Yuan.

The fourth issue is a special session for "The Voice" students, Hu Xia, Li Ronghao, Zhao Lei + Lu Yuan.

The fifth issue is a special episode of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", starring Space Wolf + several other stars.

Although this drama has not been aired yet, the broadcast date of "Running Man" is after "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".

After "Special Forces" is aired, use the popularity of "Special Forces" to support a running man.

The sixth issue is a special show for the Chinese Art Department, and the current tentative guests are Li Binbin + Huang Xiaomin.

The seventh episode is a special show for singers. Milk Cha Lun and Lu Yuan will appear on Running Man together. With the two of them as the background, this episode is likely to become the episode with the highest ratings in the first season of "Running Man".

In short, Lu Yuan would take advantage of any heat he could get.
