In the original history, at that time, the imperial court offered Japan a high price of 10,000 US dollars per episode, and the other party agreed directly without even paying the price, but now this price is definitely not good. Before that, "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen Bang" were sold. Five thousand dollars an episode, now that several years have passed, the price must be increased, not to mention that someone paid twenty thousand dollars before the filming was over.
"I don't know what price you plan to offer?" The leader saw that the opportunity was right, and immediately asked them to quote, um, let's hear what you think first.
"We are willing to pay 30,000... oh no, 40,000 US dollars per episode!" The person in the Tuxia seat originally wanted to say 30,000 US dollars, but when he saw that there were so many competitors in the conference room, he immediately changed his mind.
"We are willing to pay $50,000 an episode!" However, $40,000 is not intimidating at all, and someone immediately added $10,000 without blinking an eye. The total of 84 episodes will add up to 4.2 million. U.S. dollars.
"We'll pay a total of five million dollars." The third person felt that the addition of less than ten thousand dollars for one episode was not good, so he raised it again and directly gave an integer.
The leader almost agreed directly. Recently, the U.S. dollar has risen again. One U.S. dollar can be exchanged for more than five yuan. Five million U.S. dollars is equivalent to more than 27 million yuan. The broadcasting rights in Japan alone have recovered six cents. One of the costs, if you add the peripheral income such as audio tapes and snacks, and the copyright income from Baodao, Xiangjiang, and Southeast Asia, you may be able to recover the cost directly without waiting for the TV series to start broadcasting.
"We spent nearly 200 million yuan on this show. If calculated according to purchasing power, it would cost at least more than 100 million U.S. dollars. We used 400,000 troops to shoot, and even rebuilt a Qin and Han palace complex! Five million U.S. dollars is enough to get Broadcasting rights, I’m afraid it’s too cheap?” Shen Long interjected, he directly replaced the concept, 200 million RMB is definitely not much in the eyes of the Japanese, but it’s different when it’s calculated in terms of purchasing power.
As for the 400,000 troops, that's nonsense. It is true that more than 400,000 troops were used in total, but the troops only accounted for a small part.
"400,000 troops?" The Japanese were not intimidated by more than 100 million dollars. After all, do they have money now? But when I heard about the 400,000 troops, I was stunned. Except for the years when Lao Maozi was in his heyday, who else could use so many troops to shoot film and television works? Just passing this gimmick back will surely attract countless viewers to watch, right?
"Yes, and many of these troops have been withdrawn from the south. They have just experienced the baptism of war, and they still have a murderous look! You can imagine that a murderous army will perform a battle on the battlefield. What kind of scene is it?" Shen Long continued to lure them.
Some Japanese immediately remembered the grand military parade in China a few years ago. The murderous gun-splitting formation made them terrified. If such an aura can appear in TV dramas... Ah, I said Why did I break out in cold sweat when I watched the war scene just now? It turned out to be the reason.
"We are willing to pay five and a half million dollars!" Someone raised the price immediately.
No, no matter what, we can’t let them take this show away, if they take it, then our station’s ratings will be over, now is the time when the competition is fierce, we must not give in, “Six million dollars! "
If only one Japanese TV station came to talk, then they would definitely not shout such a high price, and would definitely force the court to make concessions, but now that Japan's largest TV stations are here, it is no longer just a matter of buying an excellent program It is also related to their competition with each other. As long as they can overwhelm their opponents, they are willing to pay more.
So, under these people's rounds of bidding, the price was quickly raised to more than 8 million US dollars, which was almost 100,000 US dollars per episode, which was five times higher than their initial quotation. At this price, only The next TV station is still quoting.
The leader was overjoyed, and was about to agree.
However, Shen Long spoke again, "Why, is no one willing to offer a higher price?"
"Feng Sang, this price is already our bottom line. Our expenses are more than that. We also need to spend a lot of money to add Japanese subtitles to the TV series. This alone costs 10,000 US dollars per episode, and we also need voice actors. For dubbing, plus promotion, our total cost has exceeded ten million dollars! This is too much for us.” They began to complain.
"This problem is easy to solve. I will help you with the subtitles." Shen Long replied in Japanese, "My Japanese is still very good, and the price is definitely lower than yours! Why don't you take a look at what I do first. The result?" Shen Long didn't even want to let go of the money, and immediately played them another episode with Japanese subtitles.
The quality of the subtitles left them speechless, so after the broadcast ended, they began to bid again, raising the price to $9.8 million before stopping. The leader immediately made a final decision on the contract. More than 50 million funds were recovered, almost half of the total investment.
Shen Long immediately led someone to complete the Japanese subtitles, asked Bai Ze to help review and modify them, and then handed them over to the Japanese side. Then "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" officially began to be broadcast in China and Japan.
Previously, Master Yuan Kuocheng's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" storytelling had whetted the audience's appetite, and the news that broke out from time to time made the audience full of expectations for this drama, so when the first episode started, they They turned on the TV one after another, waiting with great anticipation for the start of the TV series.
In the first episode, Shen Long gave the audience a big shock. The battle scene where the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang led the army to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army made people feel excited and excited. They originally thought that the war scenes in "Fengshen Bang" had already Good enough, who knew this one was even better.
Then the Shichang servants rebelled, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and Lu Bu made his debut, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and beheading several enemy generals. The wonderful immediate fights made the audience dizzy.
The scene was exciting, and Mr. Yi's commentary after the TV series made it easier for everyone to understand the plot, so more and more people followed the series, forming a popular trend.
The popularity of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not limited to domestic, it also set off a frenzy of watching dramas in Japan, the big battles, the wonderful duels of generals, and the elegant literary dramas made them obsessed, and almost the whole of Japan was immersed in it. In the shock of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
