They were all so into the drama!

"Oh, what a loss, what a loss!"

Inside the office, Huo Chengyin raised his head and sighed, his face full of regret.

"Second uncle, we shouldn't have sold the second-round rights so early!"

Generally speaking, the second-round rights to TV series cannot be sold for much money. Usually only half of the first round, or even less!

So even though the two TV stations that won the rights to broadcast the second round this time were only three days later than the two TV stations that broadcast the first round, it was still the second round.

The price of 200,000 per episode was originally a figure that made this party quite satisfied.

I just didn't expect that the response after this TV series was broadcast was so overwhelming. Looking at it now, the price of the second round is actually a loss!

Huo Chengyin grimaced and regretted:

"Now several TV stations have come to negotiate for the three-round broadcast rights. The highest bidder is also 200,000 yuan per episode..."

"If I had known I had the second-round broadcast rights, I would have made another fortune now!"

The price of the second round of broadcast rights is lower than that of the first round, not to mention the third round!

Many local stations with insufficient funds focus on the third-round broadcast rights of some TV series every year. They usually buy them back for broadcast at a price of 10,000 to 30,000 yuan per episode.

The highest price for the three-round broadcast rights of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" is as high as 200,000 yuan. Although it is most likely that the three-round broadcast rights will be exclusive to one family, this is already a quite exaggerated achievement!

This TV series has been on air for a week now.

The plot is halfway through, and it happens to be the main plot where the man and woman register for marriage.

The combined average ratings at this time were already as high as 8.8%, almost breaking nine.

The discussion on the Internet is extremely high, and even some lines in the play have become popular.

Similar to "If you are destined to be my girlfriend in three years, then why don't I exercise my rights earlier", "Since I can't find you, then I can only stand in the most conspicuous place and let you come to me", "If. There used to be that person in the world, and everyone else would become a makeshift, and I don’t want to make do with it”…

These lines that only appear in idol dramas are quite poignant.

"He Yichen" played by Huo Mingjie is tall and handsome, with a cold and confident temperament, and has the domineering aura of a legal elite all over his body.

He can make money, has strong abilities, and has an infatuated personality that he has been waiting for for seven years. He has successfully attracted the love of a group of older sisters and younger girls.

The somewhat middle-of-the-road praise like "How can I achieve it after a hundred years of cultivation?" has also appeared on the Internet and begun to spread. You can almost see this sentence under the posts discussing this show.

And not only on the Internet, there are even print media directly praising the show, saying that this drama is:

"In the idol drama environment where negative energy is rampant, the essence of love of "holding your hand and growing old together" that runs through the whole story conveys to the audience the affectionate and persistent positive view of love behind it..."

Thanks to the support of peers, this TV series is completely different from the popular idol dramas now. It can be said to be full of positive energy and refreshing to the audience.

With such dazzling results, it is completely understandable that a number of TV stations have aggressively raised their prices in order to compete for the rights to broadcast the third round of broadcasts.

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie shook his head and said with a smile:

"This drama can earn 30 to 40 million, which is pretty good!"

The entertainment industry today is not the time when capital and hot money will pour in crazily in a few years.

At its peak, Sugar Man is already considered a well-known company in the industry, and it only makes tens of millions a year.

I have made so much money from just one drama, so what more can I ask for?

But after hearing his second uncle's words, Huo Chengyin suddenly shook his head and said with a grin:

"Hehe, actually I should be able to earn a little more!"

Having said this, Huo Chengyin took the document in his hand and clicked his tongue:

"The online video platform called LeTV that you secretly invested in before came to us and wanted to buy the online broadcast rights of "Why Shengxiaomo". We offered three million to buy it out..."

"In the past two years, you have always asked me to buy out the exclusive online broadcast rights of some popular TV series. The year before last, the online rights of some TV series were sold for 100,000 yuan."

"The result is that the company you invested in has been popping up to join in the fun in the past six months, causing the online copyrights of these TV series to skyrocket!"

"LeTV?"

Huo Mingjie couldn't help but blinked when he heard this.

If his nephew hadn't mentioned it today, he would have almost forgotten that he invested in this company in 2006.

At that time, LeTV was in its most difficult time and was already on the verge of bankruptcy. No matter from which aspect, it is not a suitable investment object.

If it weren't for Huo Mingjie's fuzzy memory and some foresight, he would not have invested at all if he knew about LeTV's future development.

However, it is precisely because of Huo Mingjie's investment during the most difficult time, and because Jia Da had a backer and ability to cheat, the company has begun to develop rapidly this year and has come back to life.

It has to be said that Accountant Jia has the ability and background behind him, and he is on the right track.

When no one else paid attention to copyright, they started hoarding various copyrights early and laying out their plans in the film and television industry.

So even if Jia Dahuan runs away in the end, LeTV can still bring in some pretty good income with the TV series copyrights in hand...

In addition, Huo Chengyin was actually wrong in what he said!

The rising price of online TV drama rights is not entirely due to LeTV’s disruption.

After all, if there are only two buyers and so many TV series are produced every year, it is impossible for the price to rise.

The real reason is due to policy changes.

In 2008, although pirated video websites were still extremely rampant on the Internet, netizens had a strong "sharing" spirit.

But early formal online video platforms such as LeTV and Tudou no longer dare to do this.

Nowadays, the Internet video platform is in a stage of rapid development. For the sake of users, everyone can only hold their noses and spend money to buy copyrights.

Huo Mingjie spent less than 2 million in total to buy out the exclusive online broadcast rights of popular TV series such as "Wulin Gaiden", "Soldier Assault", "Ming Dynasty 1566" and "Bright Sword".

Now if I want to resell it, the lowest copyright fee can be at least six or seven times higher...

Huo Mingjie thought for a moment and said:

"Exclusive online broadcast rights can be given, but there must be a time limit, so that you can get them back after expiration."

Huo Mingjie has never planned to build a video platform of his own. That thing is too expensive and unnecessary.

Hoard the copyrights of popular dramas and only sign authorizations without selling them outright. In this way, no matter what the video platforms do in the future to grab users, they will not be at odds with him...
