The Golden Age of China Entertainment

Yi Qing also hopes that the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this life will get better and better, so please help as much as you can!

After Wang Fulin finished speaking, he got up and left. He probably went back to make a phone call, while Yi Qing went back to the room. Today, because he had to talk to the special effects team from the United States, Cai Xiaoqing didn't arrange for him to play.

Back in the room, Yi Qing called Shi Nansheng directly and explained the matter.

"Xiao Yi, you mean... help!?"

Yi Qing pondered for a while and said: "I definitely want to help, but I can't help in vain. I'm a businessman, and I can't let others eat in my bowl."

Yi Qing now probably has a complete cooperation plan. Orange Sky Entertainment pays for the special effects of the Three Kingdoms crew through financing, and then wins the copyright of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Xiangjiang and Japan.

It is just a copyright of Xiangjiang, which is definitely not worth 100 million US dollars, so Japan must be added.

As for why Japan’s copyright was selected separately, it is mainly because Japan is the country that is most influenced by Han culture around China, and it is also the country that is most obsessed with the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Yi Qing didn't know if the Japanese came to his door when "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was being filmed in this life, but he had read some reports in his previous life.

When Japan heard the news, they rushed to China non-stop and negotiated with CCTV, saying that they were willing to bear all the production costs of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but the role of Cao Cao must be played by their Japanese actors.

In this regard, CCTV resolutely refused. How could a foreigner play such an important role in one of China's four great classics? It is impossible for CCTV to let a Japanese play Cao Cao because of funding problems.

Later, after the filming and production of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was completed, Japan came to buy the copyright immediately. The leaders of CCTV probably saw the eagerness of the Japanese, so they opened their mouths and sold "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at a price of 1.5 US dollars per episode. "The rights to broadcast in Japan were sold to the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese agreed to the high price without hesitation, and even later spent $1 per episode for post-production.

From this we can see how popular our Chinese culture is, but in fact, as early as when Japan purchased the copyright, the story of the Three Kingdoms had become popular all over Japan and was sought after by many Japanese.

Despite the high cost, the Japanese paid directly for the 84 episodes, but asked CCTV to edit them into 18 episodes, plus an episode of shooting extras, and one episode was 129 minutes long.

After Japan got the re-edited "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it only played one episode a week, and played it in the way of a movie. At that time, it caused a craze for the Three Kingdoms again in Japan.

Let the Japanese love the Three Kingdoms reach a new level, and once again promote the development of the surrounding culture of the Three Kingdoms, for example, once again let the arcade games of the Three Kingdoms sell better.

However, in the previous life, CCTV also made a request to Japan, only giving them 3 years of broadcasting time, and in these 3 years, they can only have the broadcasting rights twice. The conditions are so harsh, and the Japanese agreed without hesitation. , which shows the popularity of this theme in Japan.

Yi Qing wanted the rights to broadcast "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Japan, of course to make money. As he said, he is a businessman, and since he is a businessman, the first thing he thinks of is naturally to make money.

I made money and also helped the crew of the Three Kingdoms, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

Now it depends on how the leaders of CCTV decide.

The next day, as soon as Yi Qing arrived at the set, he saw Wang Fulin was already waiting.

"Xiao Yi! How is your contact?"

Yi Qing was supported to sit on the chair, looked at Wang Fulin and said with a smile: "Director Wang, you are not in such a hurry, you should first talk about how the leaders in the stage made the decision. If I said yesterday, the leaders in the stage It was directly rejected, and it is useless to say anything else!"

When Wang Fulin heard this, he knew that he was too impatient, so he immediately told Yi Qing about Wang Tai's decision.

This time, it was much happier than the previous "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West". Wang Feng agreed to use the right to broadcast "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Xiangjiang in exchange for Orange Sky Entertainment to pay for the production of special effects.

"Wang Tai means that the broadcasting rights of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be discounted by 80 U.S. dollars, and the remaining 20 U.S. dollars will be exchanged, and Taili will come up with a solution."

Ha ha!

After Yi Qing heard about it, she knew that Master Wang was thinking about Tao Zi again.

80 US dollars, why not grab it!

That's right, in the previous life, CCTV did blackmail Japan with the broadcast rights of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The price of a single episode of 1.5 US dollars is actually a bit expensive strictly speaking, but it is because the Japanese are too active that they let CCTV's leadership saw an opportunity.

The price of 6000 US dollars sold to Thailand is normal, and that is 4 years later.

Judging from the current market, if an episode can sell for 3000 US dollars, it is considered a high price.

Now CCTV actually wants to sell 80 US dollars. It’s not about peaches, what is it?

"Director Wang! Since it's a business, you should show some sincerity. In this way, I will contact you for the matter. However, I am only responsible for inviting the people. For the rest, you can discuss with them how to deal with it. Sample?"

Yi Qing wants to put down the pick?

How can this be done!

When Wang Fulin heard this, he refused to agree: "Xiao Yi! You still have to bridge the gap, so you can't ignore it."

Yi Qing laughed, out of anger, why do these old gentlemen like to pick up cheap things so much! ?

"Director Wang! For the matter in Taiwan, you plan to let me offend everyone!?"

Wang Fulin was taken aback, really didn't know how to answer these words.

"Let's do this! I'll put forward the other people's conditions, and you can go back and study with the leaders in Taili!"

"What conditions!?"

"The broadcast rights in Hong Kong and Japan are worth 100 million US dollars. This is the bottom line. If the station can agree, this matter will be completed. If it can't be completed, then forget it!"

Chapter 883 Burning Red Cliff

"You don't give Director Wang any face at all!"

In the hotel room, He Qing helped Yi Qing wipe his back, and after hearing what he said today, he couldn't help but say something.

Although she didn't know how much money Yi Qing had, she knew that Yi Qing was definitely not short of the 100 million, even if it was US dollars.

Yi Qing settled down and lay down, took the script and read it again: "This is not a matter of losing face. The crew can't just look for foreign aid whenever they encounter trouble and don't think about how to solve it. 100 million is right for me. It’s not much, but it’s a business, if the opening is opened this time, what will happen in the future? Every time CCTV needs to do special effects for filming, you can ask me to solve it?”

Yi Qing can't get used to the problems that the leaders of CCTV take for granted. He really doesn't care about 100 million yuan, but he still has two years of cooperation with CCTV.

Compromise this time, even if he is only playing a role of helping, but this time helping, I am afraid that there will be constant troubles in the future, some people in the stage will definitely take advantage of it in different ways, once or twice, he will bear it, But anyone can do such a thing as pushing the nose on the face, and it's as good as fire.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's okay!"

Yi Qing said it was all right, and it was indeed not a big deal. The $80 proposed by Taili was a sky-high asking price, and all he was waiting for was to sit on the ground and pay back the money from Xiangjiang.

It's just that I didn't expect that the person in charge of spreading the news was the big boss of Orange Sky Entertainment. Yi Qing was in the United States and Japan some time ago, and exchanged hundreds of millions of dollars in cash every minute. The price is killing me.

100 million US dollars, broadcasting rights in Hong Kong and Japan.

Have you ever wanted it?

That's for sure!

Although in this life, when CCTV was preparing to shoot "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Japanese also took the initiative to come to the door, expressing that they would bear all the production costs, and the conditions proposed were the same as in the previous life. I hope that the role of Cao Cao can be recommended by them of Japanese actors.

Of course, he was also rejected by CCTV, but the filming of the film has not yet finished, so naturally no Japanese Kaizi will come to the door and let CCTV slaughter him.

And, what's going on in Japan now?
