Coquettish Rebirth

"5? This is too exaggerated, impossible, impossible, at most $3 per episode!" At this time, the director of Dahe TV drama was really anxious, "It's not me who lowered the price, Mr. Jia, please be considerate of us. Dahe TV drama The market in Japan is not big, and it’s all old men and old ladies watching, so we can only broadcast it on satellite channels, so the audience is too narrow, and I really can’t do it for $5 an episode..."

Looking at the expression of the director of the Dahe drama, it seems that he is sincerely telling the truth. The expression of embarrassment and anxiety makes people feel sympathetic.But at this moment, Jia Hongjian said: "If the maximum is only [-] yuan, then I ask to sell only part of the broadcasting rights, and it is a one-time sale. After a few years, the Japanese version of "Three Kingdoms" will be published." If so, your TV station needs to pay extra, and at the same time, the profits of various peripherals, video tapes and other media products will belong to us..." Jia Hongjian's request is really a big mouth of a lion!You must know that no matter which country in the world it is, when importing a TV series, what it buys is all the copyrights in a single region. In other words, if a Japanese TV series is exported to mainland China, that TV station has bought it. TV series - at least the copyright of the video tape of this TV series. After that, the other party can play it however they want, and play it whenever they like, and even the other party will release a corresponding video tape according to this TV series... That's normal, this is all It belongs to the power of other sellers.

But Jia Hongjian made such a move, and the result was "not increasing the price but reducing the quantity"!For this kind of request, how could the director of Dahe Opera agree to it? "President Jia, this really won't work. If this is the case, I won't have to work in the company anymore! Can you show some understanding to me?" Really, who would consider Jia Hongjian if he was considerate? "Or like this, you just buy the first round of broadcasting rights and see how it works after the broadcasting. If the effect is good, we will talk about the matter of completely importing the copyright. If the broadcasting effect is not good, then you will invest less..." Cut, fight with Jia Hongjian?The whole thing can't be sold at a high price together, and if it can't be taken apart, then it's just divided into broadcast rounds!

"This..." The supervisor of Dahe Opera hesitated for a moment.Because he felt that if he agreed in this way, it would be easy for him to explain to NHK.After all, the TV drama market in Japan is different from that in China. Few young people in Japan like to watch historical dramas. They only watch old men and old ladies. It can be said that shooting historical dramas in Japan is basically serving the middle-aged and elderly people. responsibility of a national television station.Therefore, Japan's costume dramas or "legendary dramas" and "Dahe dramas" are only filmed by the national TV station NHK.Because young people don’t like it, they broadcast it to old men and old ladies, so basically it must be verified with a very rigorous attitude. After all, old men and old women don’t need to be too entertaining, so in this way, the market is narrow Coupled with pressure from both artistic and political aspects, a lot of Dahe Opera's funds, which were originally invested with little investment, were used for research and research, and the rest was to find some powerful actors rather than idols to star in them.

Once in the 7080s.Being able to participate in a Dahe opera is the greatest appreciation for the acting skills of Japanese actors!But after the splendor of the late 80s, the life of Dahe Opera has begun to be difficult in the past few years.In order to reduce the cost, they have even started to recruit actors from idol dramas to star in - so that the other agency's agency can ask for a lot less salary as a publicity gimmick!In a situation where funds are already tight, space and channels have to be freed up to show the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" filmed in China. It can be said that it is really good to spend less money!

"This... so, please, Mr. Jia, please show me all the video tapes you have. After I have checked the quality, I will write a report to the higher-ups and try my best to promote the conclusion of this agreement. But if you only sell one What price do you want for the broadcasting rights?" After thinking about it for a while, the director of Dahe Drama.asked very sincerely. "$3000 an episode!" Jia Hongjian said with a smile at this time. "Okay! If it's this price, then I won't bargain. Everyone is doing historical themes, and they are all literati, so don't be so commercial! Then, can President Jia bring all the video tapes tomorrow?"

"No problem!" Jia Hongjian said with a smile, although it seemed that Jia Hongjian had suffered on the surface.Or it didn't take advantage of anything.But what only the reborn can know is that Jia Hongjian is actually setting the other party up!What set?Historically, this Chinese "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was sold at a price of [-] US dollars per episode, but there are quite twists and turns.It is said that it was initially negotiated with NHK and other companies, but after NHK and other companies negotiated for a period of time, they may have taken market factors into account. Anyway, the negotiation failed in the end, and CCTV seems to have sold the copyright to some small company.That small company broadcasts it on a small scale on satellite channels, and releases videotape resources at the same time.

In the absence of any publicity, such a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" really caused a lot of repercussions in Japan!You must know that the theme of the Three Kingdoms is very popular in Japan!All of a sudden, not only old men and old ladies, but also middle-aged young people and even children were watching it, so it was at this time that nhk realized something was wrong, and then spent a lot of money to buy the copyright from that small company, and finally found it again The voice actors were all voiced by the most famous voice actors in Japan at the time, and then played on NHK.After such a play, it made "Three Kingdoms" even more popular!Even Japan Glory Company, which has been producing Three Kingdoms-themed games, suddenly replaced its previous Three Kingdoms character design, and re-created the character design after imitating the Chinese version of "Three Kingdoms"!

Jia Hongjian is only selling the first round of broadcasting rights now, and he is waiting for NHK to be surprised to find that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has received a good response, and when he is ready to buy the full copyright at a higher price, he will raise a higher price!Since when did he, Jia Hongjian, start a business that lost money?

Soon, after Jia Hongjian brought all the videotapes, although Jia Hongjian found someone to edit them, nhk was still nitpicking about the number of edited episodes, and finally After some bargaining, at a price of 2000 US dollars per episode, the rights to premiere 60 episodes of the Chinese version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were purchased!Wait, how could a slippery guy like Jia Hongjian allow the other party to bargain so hard?That's because Jia Hongjian exchanged the room for bargaining in exchange for a guarantee from NHK—that there will definitely be proper advertising!

Hmph, in this way, as long as NHK conducts publicity in a serious manner, Jia Hongjian still doesn't believe that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will not be a success after that!After it becomes popular, we will wait for Jia Hongjian to sell it again at a price of around US$5 per episode!

After Jia Hongjian and Tajiri Zhi returned to the hotel, as soon as they entered the lobby, they heard someone calling themselves behind them.He turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that it was Ken Kutaragi, the father of PS! "President Jia, it's been a long time. You didn't inform me when you came to Tokyo. We didn't receive you. It's really rude..." "Hehe, long time no see. After all, I came here for other things, it's my personal point." I didn’t want to bother you about this matter. Mr. Kutaragi came to see me...?”

"Hehe, that's how it is. It's a coincidence that Mr. Jia came here this time. It happened to be the day when our sce's PS console was released. Thanks to you, the first batch of 10 copies has been sold out in one weekend. Of course, we In fact, I ordered a chip with your company urgently yesterday, and I came this time for something related to this... By the way, the president hasn't eaten yet? Why don't I invite you and your subordinates to the best ri in Tokyo? Chinese cuisine restaurant? I have already booked the place, and the car is ready..."

Listening to Kutaragi Ken's words, why did Jia Hongjian suddenly feel like he had seen a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken?He agreed without making a sound, and was led by the father of ps to the so-called best Japanese food restaurant in Tokyo.After entering this Japanese-style room, Jia Hongjian was not used to looking at the tatami mats—he was not used to sitting upright on his knees all the time, and when he took his seat, he immediately sat up cross-legged in a very unceremonious manner.Ken Kutaragi didn't say anything about it, and soon after the dishes were served, the group of people didn't talk about serious things, but chatted in a mess.After drinking for three rounds, Ken Kutaragi suddenly asked, "President Jia, our company is selling very well PS hosts, and we even expect to sell 20 to 30 units within this month. , Under such circumstances, it is a bit slow for your company to produce the decoding chip and sell it to us, especially because the time is tight and customs clearance is required. I don’t know if your company can just authorize our company to produce it? Don’t worry, the chip On the one hand, even if we produce it ourselves, every copy will give your company some small meaning, and it will definitely not let your company suffer..."

Whoops, is this looking for a reason to get rid of Huaxia Hi-Tech?You must know that after Sony signed the contract with Huaxia Hi-Tech, the [-] million US dollars that Sony paid was actually the money to buy out the patent, and the patent is the patent of the encoding and decoding rules!But there is no patent for buying a decoder chip!After all, as long as there is a decoding rule for this thing, it is very easy for Sony to build it by itself, just get an ic chip, and then record the program into it.It's just that Sony didn't have time to adjust the production line to design and produce this chip because of the tight time before. At the same time, Huaxia Hi-Tech has already started to produce pro-v chips. It can be directly provided to Sony as long as it re-records the encoding and decoding rules, so Sony Just bought a batch.Now, is this trying to minimize the influence of Huaxia Hi-Tech?

"It's okay... In this way, we don't need any commission from our company, as long as your company can provide us with a contract with a bald head for a DVD player at a relatively low price..." Jia Hongjian said with a smile. (to be continued)rq
