Chapter 1420 Eighty Million Knives!

Monday, January 21.

"Ah!"

Not long after Pei Qian got up, he sneezed.

"Who is thinking about me behind my back!"

After a brief breakfast, Pei Qian came to the office as usual, preparing to spend money for this cycle of surprises.

I have to say, the recent situation is really not optimistic!

The three works of the inspiration class were all popular, which made Pei Qian a little unexpected.

But on the bright side, the situation on the Inspiration Class can't get any worse. After all, the popularity of "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" has completely subsided, and the sales are almost sold, and the subsequent sales have stabilized; "The Successor" is already in Aili The ratings and popularity on the island’s website have both reversed, and there is no room for further improvement.

The more troublesome thing is "Academy of Agents". According to the update speed of this old sow, the stable update for a long time in the future will provide Feihuang Studio with relatively stable income.

But in any case, stable income means that it is controllable, and it can be solved by using brains and spending money, so it is fine.

As for "Safe and Civilized Driving", it can only be said that the situation is worse than what Pei Qian expected, and so many persuasion links set up before do not seem to have a very good effect.

But overall, it's still at an acceptable level.

There are still some complaints that should be made. Many people on the Internet are complaining about "Safe and Civilized Driving", which mainly focuses on its excessive collision penalty mechanism, too strict driver's license test and novice teaching, and slightly monotonous core gameplay. , as well as malicious smears for some brand collision effects.

Judging from the current situation, according to the general game evaluation standard, "Safe and Civilized Driving" is considered popular and successful, but according to the evaluation standard of Tenda games, "Safe and Civilized Driving" is worse than the previous Tenda games. Still a long way to go.

In particular, the sales of safe and civilized driving simulators have also risen due to the release of the game, but the inventory is still piled up, which is good news.

Pei Qian planned to take this opportunity to let Lu Mingliang rent a few more large warehouses all over the country, all of which were filled with various products of Outu Technology, especially the safe and civilized driving simulators.

This is the worst to sell, and of course it has to be piled up the most!

In this way, the settlement pressure of this cycle can be greatly eased.

In addition, Pei Qian has also handed over the charity and zoo affairs to Assistant Xin to prepare. The charity affairs need to be discussed with the relevant departments and schools, but this should be discussed smoothly; the zoo needs the approval of the relevant departments. Let the architect design, and there is to find a qualified candidate for the principal.

These are all in a hurry, and it is enough to try to have a look within two weeks.

Of course, this zoo certainly couldn't be made that big in the early stage. What Pei Qian thought was, just find a piece of land near the Horror Hostel, even if there are only a few animals, open the zoo as soon as possible, and don't affect the money. settlement.

After this settlement cycle is over, we will slowly expand like a terrifying hotel in the future.

While thinking about future plans, there was a knock on the door from outside the office.

Pei Qian looked up and saw that it was Huang Sibo.

Seeing the excited expression on Huang Sibo's face, he almost wrote "I have great news" on his face.

Pei Qian's heart "squeaked" for a moment.

broken!

What good news is this?

Huang Sibo, you just came back from a journey of suffering, so don't force me!

But Pei Qian thought about it again, no, isn't the two projects that Feihuang Studio is responsible for in this cycle already settled? "Successor" and "Academy of Agents" have both signed agreements with Ellis Island, and they are broadcast exclusively, and they can't be sold to others anymore, right?

Pei Qian calmed down a little and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huang Sibo gave a thumbs up, and his admiration was beyond words: "President Pei, the copyright of "The Successor" has been sold!"

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment.

copyright? Wasn't it already sold out? Sold it to Elli Island.

How can I still sell the second crop?

Huang Sibo continued: "The overseas copyright of "The Successor" was scrambled by several overseas streaming media platforms and TV stations. In the end, we decided to sell the copyright to the NLX platform, because they would be responsible for translating "The Successor" into 28 languages. , broadcast to audiences in 190 countries and regions around the world!"

"Moreover, as the largest streaming media platform in foreign countries, the NLX platform has the most users and the most extensive influence."

"Of course, their bid is not the highest, but it's not too far from the first-place bid."

Pei Qian was shocked and asked tremblingly, "How much?"

Huang Sibo: "80 million knives!"

Pei Qian lost his expression for a while.

Only confusion remains.

Crazy, the world is crazy!

Although "Successor" went to the United States to co-produce with the film and television company over there, and also spent money to make some big scenes, but all the investment together, it is just over 200 million, equivalent to about 30 million knives.

After all, unlike other dramas, the main actors in "The Successor" are not well paid. The protagonist Phil has chosen a young actor with superb acting skills from abroad. Lu Zhiyao and the others are all friendly cameos. Money, even if you count the friendship price and the premium of the actor, it's not much.

It can't be compared with some film and television dramas that often earn more than 100 million starring salaries.

These 30 million knives have already been spent, ensuring that the big scenes in the drama have reached a first-class level.

Pei Qian originally thought that it was 200 million. How could it be possible to recover the cost by only selling domestic copyrights when foreign copyrights could not be sold?

In the best case, it is nothing more than no loss and no profit, right?

But I didn't expect that on the Elli Island website, using the method of scoring and sharing the number of broadcasts, the cost will be recovered after a while, and the follow-up will be pure profit; secondly, I didn't expect that there are actually foreign companies willing to buy this product. stuff?

And it came directly to a super double!

Of course, judging from the fact that the streaming media platform NLX has a lot of money, it is not surprising to spend 80 million dollars on copyrights. After all, they have also bought more expensive ones, and the annual expenditure on copyright content is 10 billion. Knife.

But the key question is, why did they buy The Successor?

Pei Qian was very puzzled and asked, "What do they think of "The Successor"?"

Huang Sibo praised: "It's exactly as you expected, Mr. Pei!"

Pei Qian: "?"

I expected a hammer I expected!

I never thought anyone would buy this crap!

Huang Sibo explained: "I remember that before the filming of "The Successor", Mr. Pei briefly warned you that there should not be too strong emotional tendencies in "The Successor", not to show too much irony, but It should be expressed in a realistic and neutral angle. The audience's eyes are sharp and they can understand it naturally."

Pei Qian: "..."

He kind of wanted to ask, did I really say that?

But after all, it was so long ago that he couldn't remember it at all.

But he reflected a little, and it really seemed like something he would say.

The reason is also very simple. When the filming of "The Successor" started, Pei Qian didn't think it had a chance to make money overseas, and just filmed it for domestic audiences.

The core of "Successor" is anti-superhero. Pei Qian asked the crew not to show too much irony during the shooting process, just to weaken the performance of this core and reduce the possibility of becoming popular in China.

As a result, I didn't expect it, and it was a prophecy!

The audience's eyes are really sharp, and in this case, they can see through it at a glance, and forcefully give an evaluation close to full marks.

But... what does this have to do with overseas copyright?

Huang Sibo continued: "At first, I was still wondering why, but after talking to these overseas platforms, I learned that Mr. Pei, your trick is too good!"

"If we really express this irony on purpose, foreign audiences will definitely not be able to accept it and think we are blackmailing them. But if we express the whole story in a realistic and neutral angle, foreign audiences will be very impressed. Resonates!"

"Those content that domestic audiences think is satirical, foreign audiences think that this is content that is very politically correct, but is a plus point; and content about conspiracy theories, media manipulation of public opinion, and high-level fooling of the public, it has caused controversy. The general resonance of foreign audiences!"

"This drama makes the eyes of foreign audiences who are tired of watching superheroes bright, and they all feel that it is a good drama that reflects social reality!"

"Of course, there are also many objections from abroad, but the objections are also hot! Coupled with the film and television companies in the United States that have co-produced with us, all major streaming media platforms and TV stations have a strong interest in "The Successor". interest of."

"That's why we can sell at such a high price!"

"In any case, Mr. Pei, with your advice, made "The Successor" overfulfill its historical mission! It's incredible that a satirical drama can conquer both domestic and foreign audiences at the same time! "

Pei Qian was stunned.

Could this be my pot too?

I didn't write this book, and I didn't even ask about it when it was filmed, but after it became popular, it was still inseparable from me?

Pei Qian said that this is simply unacceptable!

That's 80 million knives! Is this going to kill me on the spot?

Hey, no, this money will not arrive until the next cycle, so what am I anxious about?

Thinking that the money should not arrive until the next cycle, Pei Qian calmed down again and felt that the matter was not that serious.

"Okay, I see. You are here this time for this?" Pei Qian asked.

Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment: "Uh... yes."

He was a little puzzled, why, Mr. Pei didn't think this matter was worth reporting?

Eighty million knives! I'm still not allowed to say goodbye?

Pei Qian nodded: "Okay, if there is such a thing in the future, just send me a message, you don't need to come here specially."

Pei Qian is also good for Huang Sibo. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so he turned Huang Sibo on the spot and sent him to a suffering trip.

Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment, then a little ashamed.

All of this was expected by President Pei, and it is indeed a bit of a fuss to come here to announce the good news!

You should learn from President Pei's strategizing and calm state!

Isn't it 80 million knives? Looking at Mr. Pei's calm attitude, this is what all Tengda employees should learn!

Huang Sibo turned to leave while reflecting on himself.
