Lelouch's trailer was simple and brutal.
It was impossible to introduce the worldview in a one-minute trailer.
However, the audience in Xia could still understand the general power structure.
First of all, Su Yan's fans are familiar with the overhead world setting; fate is similar.
Even if Su Yan didn't make too many changes to the world view, his fans could basically accept it.
The only thing was the war scenes previewed in the trailer.
Overwhelming giant robots, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, controlling these steel monsters in the cockpit to carry out wars, but the drivers, Zhuang Yuxin, dyed a head of green hair, and CC, whose appearance and temperament became quirky but beautiful.
Gu Qingyuan played Euphemia, Shen Qianqian played Karen, Su Yan played Lelouch, and the actor who just became popular for playing Emiya Shirou in the fate series went to play Suzaku.
Other backbones of the Black Knights and the princes and princesses of the Britannia Empire were all played by first- and second-tier stars in Xia, third-tier stars were only worthy of running the show, and even some fourth- and fifth-tier stars came to the show to play passers-by without lines.
Su Yan's fans knew that Lelouch of the Rebellion was the most expensive TV series produced since Su Yan's debut, but they were collectively shocked after the trailer was exposed.
"What is this? Is this TV series produced according to movie-level quality?"
"It made me excited."
"I said why the name of this show is so strange, Lelouch of the Rebellion? It turns out that the protagonist is named Lelouch!"
"What the hell is that thing in the trailer? A giant robot?"
"It seems that the name is also Lancelot. Isn't Lancelot one of the twelve knights of the Round Table under King Arthur in fate?"
"Could it be that Lelouch and the fate series are in the same world view."
"No, definitely not, fate is a magic series!"
"It's possible."
"Su Yan is still good at playing! The mythical history of King Arthur can be extended to so many things."
"This drama, judging from the trailer alone, is the most shocking to me before the release of all of Su Yan's works. What is his imagination? How did this idea of giant robots come about?"
"In fact, there are not no works of this kind of subject matter in the history of Xia, but they are all mad scientists making villain robot props. No one has ever thought of arming this kind of thing to soldiers to launch a war, and then creating a drama based on this setting."
"The most important thing is that before this, there were no such generous investors in Xia! A shooting budget of more than 600 million for two seasons. Even if this TV series is a big hit, it is very difficult to recover the success or failure. If you want to make a profit, you must open up overseas markets. Su Yan is probably the only one in the entire Xia country who dares to have this confidence."
"It makes me excited. I will definitely support this show after it starts."
"I'm a person who plays games all year round and doesn't watch TV dramas, but I was attracted. I played Su Yan's fate game before, and I was attracted by the plot. Today, I happened to see the trailer promotion of his new TV series on the Internet, and it made my heart itch."
"July, come quickly!"
"In fact, a bunch of TV dramas in this quarter that started in April are already very good. I watched them very happily, but compared with Lelouch, what trash is it!"
"Good script, good actors, plus huge investment, this is the route that Su Yan's Dimension Film and Television Company is taking now. It is also difficult for others to imitate."
"The Xia GG industry is about to set off a bloody storm of厮杀. It is estimated that a large number of companies in Xia will want the GG title rights of the Lelouch TV series. Other film and television companies may have to worry about recovering their costs when producing this kind of drama, but for Su Yan, it is possible to recover the costs from various profit channels such as GG implantation, title rights, and broadcasting rights before the TV series starts."
The predictions of a group of viewers and industry insiders in Xia were correct.
After the Lelouch trailer was released, the entire TV drama industry collectively exploded.
Anyone with a discerning eye can feel what kind of ratings frenzy this type of work will set off in this industry once it becomes popular.
fate is still more inclined to youth campus themes, and it only feels good to watch it for people above junior high school.
However, the audience of war-themed works like Lelouch is obviously much wider. At least children can't understand the plot, but they can also enjoy watching mecha fights.
Moreover, everyone also understands the commercial value of fate before. Su Yan's works are definitely not the kind that will disappear after the finale. If this work of Lelouch can also replicate the popularity of fate, this is likely to be the third big IP born under Su Yan's company after fate and Kenshin.
A group of technology manufacturers in Xia, such as mobile phones, computers, and automobiles, sent people to Tokyo in the days after the trailer was released to discuss GG implantation with Dimension Film and Television Company. Although it is less than two months before the TV series starts, it is not difficult to implant a GG.
At the same time, the three major TV stations also collectively sent people to Tokyo to negotiate with Su Yan.
So far, Su Yan's works have been broadcast on the three major TV stations in Xia, and he has a good friendship with the current senior executives of the three major TV stations.
Among them, his relationship with Ayaka Koseki, the director of the production department of Sakura TV, is the best, but the favor has been repaid before, so even if Ayaka Koseki comes in person this time, Su Yan has not broken the rules.
His approach to the broadcasting rights of Lelouch of the Rebellion is very simple. The teams of the three TV stations can discuss it themselves. Su Yan disdains to do that kind of thing that is waiting for a price to be sold. If you talk well with you today, I will turn my face and deny people if another company offers a higher price tomorrow.
If Su Yan really held some kind of bidding meeting, he might be able to bid for tens of millions more in broadcasting copyright fees, but doing so would easily make the three major TV stations have opinions on him.
The three parties know each other well. They roughly know how much budget their TV station has this quarter and what price they can afford. The three of you can discuss it yourself. As long as the price exceeds the bottom price of 100 million Xia coins set by Su Yan, the broadcasting rights will be sold to whichever party.
Su Yan's approach stumped the three parties. The team leaders of the three parties are colleagues and friends in the Shanghai area, but at this time, they are also merciless on the negotiating table.
But in the end, China Xia TV had more budget for this quarter and was more determined. They offered 113 million yuan in Lelouch broadcasting rights purchase funds to persuade the other two parties to retreat, and finally obtained the broadcasting rights of Lelouch in July.
And after this news broke out, the Xia TV drama industry was collectively shocked.
113 million yuan is just the broadcasting rights. This is the ceiling price for the Xia TV industry to purchase broadcasting copyrights.
