China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 31 kbs comes with tickets
  Time passes day by day.

The broadcast of Full House on Hanbei Satellite TV continues.

The ratings rose all the way from 1.3 on the day of the broadcast. By the fifth day of broadcast, the ratings had exceeded 2 and increased to 2.09, accounting for 5% of the market.

During the time when Full House is broadcast, five out of every 100 TV stations in the Mainland are watching Full House.

This wave in Hanbeitai belongs to Qin Shihuang touching the wires - winning.

They haven't secured first-run rights to a hit show like this in years.

Full House is definitely the TV series with the highest ratings broadcast on Hanbei Channel in recent years.

The TV series Full House alone brought tens of millions of dollars to Hanbei TV.

Full House is currently running a taxidermied commercial in the opening credits.

It is to insert a few seconds of advertising screen before the broadcast of Full House, and use the narration to say, "This program is sponsored by the xx brand."

This Hanbei version of the title sequence, which was only a few seconds long, earned two million.

Including other commercials and advertising revenue from the previous premiere on the economic channel, it has earned tens of millions.

We must know that they only spent less than one million to purchase Full House. How many times the profit is this?

The director's mouth broke into a smile.

Lou Junneng from the film purchasing department received a huge bonus, and he wanted to fly to the capital to give Li Yu and Lao Ma a chance.

With the success of Full House ahead of them, Hualiu Company is not skimping on its second project, Goblin, for Hanbei.

With a wave of his hand, he spent two million. Counting the publicity and distribution work they were responsible for in the later period, they accounted for 40% of the investment share.

At first, Li Yu asked them to take 2.5 million and give them 50% of the investment share.

Li Yu feels that the show Ghosts will cost a lot more money than Full House. With half a million more funds, it will be able to do a lot more.

But if Hanbeitai refused, they killed two million people.

If they don't want it, and Li Yu can't force it, just two million.

This fund is much more abundant than when filming Full House.

Li Yu invested 1.5 million himself, occupying 50% of the share.

At the same time, he can receive a sum of remuneration from the total investment for screenwriting, directing, editing, scoring and other tasks.

Li Yu and Hualiu Company were forced to become the largest parties.

Yu Feihong personally invested 500,000 yuan, and she helped get the script of "Ghost" approved, accounting for 10% of the share.

At this point, Ghost's investment share has been divided up.

The filming capital is as high as 4 million, and it can be called a large-scale production with an investment of tens of millions.

Li Yu mentioned during the negotiation process that all overseas copyrights belong exclusively to Hualiu Company. Neither Hanbeitai nor Yu Feihong paid attention to this.

Again, I have never heard of several examples of Mainland urban romance dramas being successfully sold overseas.

Most of the ones that can be sold are costume dramas, among which Qing palace dramas are the most popular.

However, soon after signing the agreement, Hanbeitai began to regret it.

Because they heard the news that Silla's KBS TV station sent people to the capital to discuss the specific matters of introducing Full House with Hualyu Company.

This drama, which has an average domestic ratings of over 2 and is a nationwide hit, naturally attracted the attention of Silla people.

The KBS film purchasing department in Silla unanimously believed that Full House would have a market in Silla.

Kim Hyun Kyung, who was sent by KBS to come to China to contact Hwa Liu Company, is one of them.

When Kim Hyun Kyung watched Full House, he felt like he was watching an idol drama from his own country.

Many of the routines in Full House are too Silla.

If all the actors in Full House spoke Silla, and the male and female protagonists ate a few bites of Silla’s national quintessence of kimchi, wouldn’t this be a classic and beautiful Silla idol drama?
  It is precisely because Full House has many things in common with popular romantic dramas in Silla that Kim Hyun Kyung firmly believes that Full House is definitely a market in Silla.

In Hualiu Company, Jin Xianjing met Li Yu and Lao Ma.

"Welcome Mr. Jin to China as a guest." Li Yu smiled and shook hands with Jin Xianjing enthusiastically.

The big customer finally arrived.

Jin Xianjing is a middle-aged uncle with a dangerous hairline and a big belly. The small single-lidded eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses are very characteristic of Silla.

“Director Li, I already know about your Full House in our country.

It's a very well-shot, very mature commercial romance film.

I think your Full House was groundbreaking.

In recent years, the romantic dramas in our country have been too tragic, and the audience has become tired of them.

Director Lee's Full House is different and can make people laugh.

Among a bunch of sad love dramas that make people cry to death, Director Li's work is really a breath of fresh air. "

This Jin Xianjing should have had a precedent of working in China in his early years, and he can speak Chinese quite well.

This is probably one of the important factors why KBS sent him to China.

"Mr. Jin is overly praised. Your country's romantic dramas have always been at the forefront of Asia. They have many advantages and there are many things worth learning from."

Li Yu's words were both polite and truthful.

Jin Xianjing was very happy to hear this. Except for colonists, who doesn't like to hear foreigners praise their mother country?
  When it came to the cost of bringing in Full House, the two sides had a very hard time talking.

Negotiations involving interests are often not easy.

Hwaryu Company hopes to sell more money, while KBS represented by Kim Hyun-kyung hopes to spend less money.

These are human nature.

"Mr. Li, isn't 30 an episode too expensive?

I heard that the price your company sold the broadcast rights to domestic TV stations in your country was much lower than this figure. "

Jin Xianjing felt that Li Yu and Hualiu Company were treating him and kds like pigs.

Is not this nonsensical?

Can selling to domestic TV stations be the same as exporting to foreign countries?

Later Silla dramas such as "Descendants of the Sun" had 1.5 million episodes when they were introduced in China.

It also costs US$100,000 per episode to be introduced in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Taiwan and other places. Aren’t the people of Silla treating the Chinese as pigs?
  "Mr. Jin, your country's economic situation is currently much better than ours, and the two are not the same.

When Hanbei Taiwan bought Full House, Full House was not famous.

Now that Full House has become popular in our country, the objective conditions have changed.

Furthermore, if you, KBS, are to produce a film and television drama in your own country that is as good as Full House, the production cost of 30 per episode is simply unaffordable, right? "

Li Yu said seriously.

"Mr. Li, I can't make a decision on my own at the moment.

Can you give me some time so I can report to the leaders of our station? "

Jin Xianjing admitted that what Li Yu said was reasonable, but the cost of 30 per episode was already over the budget, and he couldn't make up his mind alone.

Li Yu said there was no problem.

Fortunately, Jin Xianjing did not keep Li Yu waiting for too long.

The next day he came to Hualiu Company again and said that KBS executives would only accept a maximum purchase fee of 23 per episode.

In fact, Li Yu asked KBS to bargain for 30 yuan before.

Cutting from 30 to 23 was completely acceptable to Li Yu, and he even won.

I lost money when I sold it to Hanbeitai before, but I completely made back the money I lost just by selling it to Silla.

Another day later, the news spread like wildfire that KBS TV station purchased Full House for a high price of 23 per episode, quickly causing a storm of public opinion.
