Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 440: Sending away beggars? !
As early as when "Nirvana in Fire" was conquering the mainland, many foreign agents came to contact us.

But at that time, Zhou Hao and Penguin Video were having a conflict, and Shanhai Film and Television was caught in the middle and was not in a good position to talk about it.

Only after everything was settled did Penguin and Shanhai start to work together on this matter.

At the beginning, Shanhai and Penguin’s first target was Mai Fei.

After all, it is the leading overseas streaming platform, and it has previously collaborated on "Day and Night", so there can be considered a certain degree of friendship between the two.

However, the negotiations lasted less than three days before they collapsed. It was not a suspension, but simply no further talks were possible.

The reason is very simple. Mai Fei’s price reduction was too harsh, to the point where people could no longer accept it.

Obviously, with the previous performance of "Day and Night Chase" as a foundation, Mai Fei's offer should not be too low this time, but the price offered by the other party was only 20,000 US dollars per episode...

The negotiation team on the Penguin side almost thought there was something wrong with their ears. It was only after confirming it several times that they realized they had not heard it wrong.

200 million US dollars per episode is a fantasy, but in the minds of Penguin and Shanhai, 20 US dollars per episode is the bottom line of psychological expectations!

After all, in the mainland market, the price of a single episode is over 10 million!
As a result, the other party hit them with a club worth 20,000 dollars, which completely stunned them.

This is too outrageous!

I'm sending out beggars!

And that’s not all. Not only did they only pay $20,000 per episode, but they also demanded the right to freely edit the show.

What do you mean?
After the film is taken over, they still have to re-edit it themselves!
In other words, only God knows how "Nirvana in Fire" will appear on the Maifei platform in the end!
When talking about the last day, the people from Penguin and Shanhai finally came to their senses.

The other party is not here for cooperation at all, it's clear that he has other intentions!

When Peter Lam told Zhou Hao the news, he immediately guessed the reason.

"Nirvana in Fire" and "Day and Night Chase" are completely different.

No matter how well "Day and Night" is filmed, it is still a police and gangster film, which focuses on the story of the game between good and evil forces and does not involve any attributes of cultural output.

However, "Nirvana in Fire" is completely different. From costumes and props to court etiquette, from official structure to market life, everything in this drama highlights the prosperous style and historical heritage of ancient China.

Especially the ubiquitous oriental aesthetic is so advanced that it deserves endless praise.

What consequences will arise once such works are exported?
Ah? So China already had such a mature bureaucratic governance system thousands of years ago?

Ah? So Chinese women don't have squinting eyes or frowning eyebrows?
Ah? So the etiquette of ancient Chinese nobles was so elegant and beautiful?
Ah? So, so many design elements of trendy clothes come from ancient Chinese palace costumes?

How many carefully crafted lies can be shattered by just this one play?

How many people's three perspectives can it reshape?

This movie is simply a disaster for overseas information cocoons!
It would be strange if it could be broadcast well!
If this film was really bought, it would either be secretly hidden by Mai Fei, or they would re-edit it and turn it into a strange story that is completely unrecognizable...

Expecting them to play the film in its entirety is basically a pipe dream!

Penguin had obviously thought of this, so it simply canceled the cooperation negotiations.

Twenty thousand dollars an episode, I don’t mind that little bit of money!
After leaving Mai Fei aside, the only remaining partners were the two brothers from Dongya.

However, Penguin and Shanhai did not hesitate to reject the olive branch offered by Bangzi. The small amount of money was one thing, but the key point was that these people were too ugly.

Once this film is introduced, who knows how many projects will be nominated for World Heritage status. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

So in the end, there was only one way to go to the sea - to cross the sea to Japan.

Although Xiao Ri also likes to steal things from China, he still maintains a certain manners on the surface, unlike the Koreans who are shameless.

Moreover, the quotation given by Xiao Ri Zi was also quite good, with the purchase price equivalent to RMB 2 million per episode.

It is certainly incomparable with the domestic prices of over 10 million, but this is a special case after all, and not every market can support such an exaggerated purchase price.

Two million per episode is a very impressive purchase price in Japan.

The reason why Japan is willing to pay such a high price is that it is located in the radiation zone of Confucian culture. The ubiquitous Chinese charm and classical aesthetics in the drama are exactly what they are most obsessed with...

On the day of the official announcement, related discussions immediately swept the entire Japan. Many people who had watched the original version even took the initiative to act as "shopping guides" to help introduce the setting and plot outline of the film.

After continuous updates and iterations, this story was finally summarized by Japanese netizens into five words - Prince's Revenge.

This left Shanhai speechless.

After signing the agreement, "Nirvana in Fire" completed all the formalities at the fastest speed and was officially announced to be broadcast on Galaxy TV half a month later.

Galaxy TV is a pay TV station, which in itself is a quality screening threshold. Crummy TV series simply cannot be shown on the station. The only Chinese TV series that have been shown on this TV station in history are the few famous works shot by CCTV.

After the official announcement, related publicity and promotion support was immediately launched.

Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingyan, Princess Nihuang, Fei Liu... a number of popular characters began to appear in posters and promotional videos. The beautiful costumes and beautiful classical aesthetics made the Japanese audiences very excited and their expectations soared.

Before it was officially aired, Nirvana in Fire had already become a hot topic in Japan, and even topped the search engine hot list...

Seeing this grand occasion, many domestic colleagues were so jealous!
The web drama produced by the company is so hated that no one cares about it except a bunch of fan girls who are willing to pay for it. It is already quite polite to take it out and use it as an electronic pickled mustard while eating.

Look at the “Nirvana in Fire”…Alas.

Shop around before you shop!

As one of the biggest beneficiaries, the penguins are feeling extremely complicated at this moment.

The grand occasion of "Nirvana in Fire" was created by Zhou Hao.

But this great hero was eventually driven away by them and joined his competitors.

Although we are not filming web dramas for now and there will be no direct conflicts, but what about the future?
When the seal is lifted one day, he will return to the field of online dramas...

What kind of bloody scene would that be?

When that day comes, will Penguin's original drama department be able to withstand his counterattack?
Ugh.

If I had known earlier...
