Chapter 5202 Qualifying Round
Representatives of television stations from various countries were depressed. Since there is only one chance, the representatives of each TV station must carefully consider before bidding. After all, you only have one chance to bid, and this ‘battle for the throne of the global elite forces’ is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now, the TV station just ran an advertisement without any promotional content. Yes, there was no promotional content at all. The TV station just captured some unclear photos of anti-terrorism troops from various countries, which made all the TV viewers go crazy with excitement.
Although this show may be too bloody and cannot be broadcast in the prime time band to avoid too bloody scenes affecting children, it will definitely be broadcast in the late night period. But even if it is in the late night time slot, they believe that this program will definitely have high ratings.
So, they definitely can’t miss it!
But how to get this price? Today's best reality shows, such as the most popular "American Idol" in the United States, have all the copyrights for the entire program worth US$70 million. Of course, this is the entire copyright fee purchased by Fox, and the broadcast rights are currently the most popular in the United States. The broadcast rights of "Survivor" are worth tens of millions of dollars. Compared with "Survivor", Lin Feng's "Global Elite Forces Battle for the Throne" is undoubtedly more exciting. After all, the military has always been the most mysterious in the eyes of the people, and the most elite troops from various countries compete in a big competition. Do you think this can not attract the audience?
But Lin Feng only gave him one chance to bid, and it was done secretly. This is a headache! This requires a huge investment. About 15 minutes later, everyone submitted their ideal price. Of course, this time. They must have been bleeding. Basically it's the highest price offered. If competitors offer higher prices, there's nothing they can do.
Lin Feng browsed everyone's prices and then smiled.
"Congratulations to the TV companies I'm about to read, you won the final victory! The United States, Fox; the United Kingdom, Sky TV; France, France 4; Germany, Deutsche Satellite 1; the Netherlands." Lin Feng read a total of 67 times The name of a national television station.
Lin Feng read every name. Some people were cheering, and some were sighing. After all, only one TV station in a country can obtain broadcast rights, and other TV stations in the country will naturally not be able to obtain broadcast rights. Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad.
In the end, it was actually the stronger team that won the victory. After all, companies with strong strength will naturally offer more generous prices. Of course, there are some tricks in this. For example, the company with the most broadcast rights is News Corporation, which is owned by Murdoch. Of course, it now belongs to his children. And the price they offered. It's not the highest. For example, Fox's price is US$5 million less than that of Columbia Pictures, which offered the same price. But who made Lin Feng have a good relationship with it? Therefore, US$5 million less is US$5 million less. Lin Feng doesn't care about this. Money, so, the winner is Fox.
After all, this is a secret auction, and only Lin Feng and the actual bidder know the final price. And if the actual bidder didn't say anything, no one would know that Lin Feng would do such a tricky thing.
"Okay, then if you pay, I will send you the latest episode of the program every Friday. There are 13 episodes in total! As for how to play it, it is everyone's business. Three days later, it will be Friday, everyone You will receive our program data package on time!" Lin Feng announced.
13 episodes? Many TV stations nodded silently. This episode is neither too long nor too short, it’s pretty good! After all, this is the first time this show has been held. Although everyone is very optimistic about it, what if it doesn’t have the desired effect? Although they spent money,
If you don't get the desired results, you're just considering yourself unlucky. But if the episodes are too long, wouldn’t it take up everyone’s broadcast time? After all, the contract they signed guarantees that all the programs will be broadcast to the end, and they will buy all the broadcast rights for the first season of the program at once. This can be regarded as an unequal treaty. But who made this show so popular?
Many TV station representatives may have left happily or depressed.
Lin Feng passed the list of major winning TV stations to Avril Lavigne. This reality show will naturally be recorded by Lin Feng's Second Entertainment, and the money will naturally be transferred to the account of Second Entertainment. Of course, the so-called reward of US$600 million invested by Lin Feng, and the total operating expenses of almost US$700 million, are naturally the accounts of ‘Second Entertainment’.
As for this income, 67 countries brought a total of 980 million US dollars to Lin Feng! This price has to be said to be very high. After all, this is the first episode of the program. Although it is highly optimistic, it is like speculating in futures. Everyone is looking at expectations, but what if the expectations are wrong? After all, there are no absolutes in this world, and it’s normal to have wrong expectations.
Therefore, the price of US$980 million is definitely very high, even exceeding the broadcast copyright fees of all reality shows. Of course, Lin Feng also believes that these TV stations will never suffer a loss if they purchase the copyright fees. Because this show is absolutely extremely popular!
But just when Lin Feng felt a little more comfortable, trouble came knocking on his doorstep.
Who is coming? Putin!
"Lin, our Russian Alpha Rangers also want to join one!" Putin said domineeringly.
Lin Feng was annoyed.
"President Putin, I announced to the world that you wanted to sign up before, but you didn't sign up, but you sign up now. Aren't you kidding me? Poland, Hong Kong, Spain, etc., so many countries wanted to sign up, but they were rejected. You want to sign up now, that's not okay! I, Lin Feng, can't go back on my word!" Lin Feng refused directly.
Before this, although Lin Feng had not directly asked Putin's opinion, Lin Feng announced to the public that all anti-terrorist forces in the world could sign up. You didn't sign up, but now that everything is settled, you sign up. You are taking advantage of it, and you are running away if you don't! It's not that simple!
"Lin, without our Russian Alpha Rangers, how can your throne be worthy of its name!" Putin was relentless. Putin originally didn't plan to send troops to participate, but later he saw that the prize money was actually several hundred million US dollars, so high, he took action. Although this amount of money is not much for a country, it is not a small amount for the Alpha Rangers. It is enough for them to recruit more people and improve the treatment of the Alpha Rangers.
So, Putin called. As for the rules, aren't these rules set by people? He doesn't care about rules or not.
"President Putin, this is absolutely not allowed. If you want to participate in the competition, you will break the rules. What is the most valuable thing about me? It's not my company, but my reputation! Absolutely not allowed!" Lin Feng refused righteously.
Since Putin called, he would not give up. In Putin's eyes, there is no reason to give up. But he can't tear his face with Lin Feng for this matter! This is not in his interest.
"Lin, you don't agree to such a small matter. You are not a good friend!" Putin said unhappily.
Lin Feng smiled.
"President Putin, it's not okay to play the emotional card." Lin Feng was about to hang up Putin's phone directly, but suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
"President Putin, if you want to join, it's not impossible. But there is a prerequisite!" Lin Feng said.
Prerequisite? Putin frowned.
"Tell me, what are the conditions! As long as it's suitable, I will agree!" Putin is still so domineering.
Lin Feng smiled.
"It's very simple, the qualifying round! Those who registered in advance naturally have the right to participate directly. And those of you who came later can only participate in the qualifying round. In the qualifying round, if you win and advance, you can participate in the main competition!" Lin Feng smiled, "I just don't know if President Putin is willing to let the Alpha Rangers participate in the qualifying round!"
Qualifying round! Putin frowned. Alpha Rangers, that is the best anti-terrorist force in the world in Putin's mind, actually went to participate in some bullshit qualifying round, isn't this humiliating!
"Of course, if President Putin is afraid of losing too embarrassingly, he can refuse." Lin Feng said another sentence, which made Putin hold his anger in his heart and couldn't spit it out, so depressed.
"Okay, the qualifying round is the qualifying round! We, Russia, will participate!" Putin said in a muffled voice.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
This is another opportunity to make money! Before, didn't we sell the broadcast rights of the main competition? Now we can sell the broadcast rights of the qualifying round. Although the price will definitely not be as high as before, it is also money! Especially for this qualifying round, Lin Feng will definitely not give bonuses.
Soon, Lin Feng announced the news and announced that the beneficial contestants will gather within one day, and then within three days, the winners who can participate in the competition will be decided. Finally, after three days, they will compete with the other 13 teams in the main competition!
Such a tight time made Putin curse. He fully believed in the strength of the Alpha Rangers, but you have such a tight schedule, are you cheating people! But now the arrow is on the string. If he retreats at this time, the Russian Alpha Rangers will be laughed at to death, especially Lin Feng, who will definitely laugh at himself. Just for this breath, Putin will not refuse to participate. Not only must you participate, but you must win!
So, who is the opponent? Putin immediately ordered the Alpha Rangers to set off directly to Africa and issued a death order that no matter who the opponent is, Russia must win! (To be continued...)
