The Underground Emperor: Starting from Running Away with Sister-in-law

Chapter 244 Girlhood

Not to mention that the film "Sunflower" itself has a very high shooting quality.

It is also very enjoyable to watch.

So what if this movie is shit?

The audience can curse as much as they want.

But you as a film critic can’t do that! Even less can your peers!

Kinmen Films and Television has only been established for a short time and cannot tolerate those public figures making irresponsible remarks.

Ding Xin just wants to set a rule...

From now on, for any work produced by Kinmen Films, the only option for film critics in Seoul is to give it a favorable review!

No discordant voices are allowed!

that's it.

A few days later, the reputation of "Sunflower" continued to rise.

The audience also gave it high praise.

Even the audience who had been influenced by film critics before bought tickets to watch the movie.

No more troublemakers.

How could this film, which has been proven in another time and space, fail?

Over time.

The movie "Sunflower" is becoming more and more famous, and the number of screenings is increasing instead of decreasing.

The box office performance continued to rise.

The three consecutive TV series and movies have achieved outstanding results.

It also made Kinmen Films and Television Company famous in the industry.

It even spread abroad.

Recently.

Many TV stations in Asia have already contacted us.

I want to purchase the overseas broadcast rights for "The Rookie" and "Witch Yoo Hee".

Yes.

The world has also been swept by a Korean wave since a few years ago.

Korean dramas are very popular in Asia.

Moreover, the two dramas "Rookie Employee" and "Witch Yoo Hee" have already been verified by the South Korean market.

So it is very attractive to foreign TV stations.

They came one after another to make offers.

During this period of time, Wu Xiuyan has been busy with this matter.

Among these TV stations.

The fastest and highest offer...

It is Mango TV on the other side of the ocean, in my hometown.

The first offer was $60,000 per episode!

In other words.

If the two dramas are sold together, it will cost $2.4 million.

Converted into Korean won, it is 2.4 billion.

The price is not bad.

Although Ding Xin remembered that in another time and space, a Korean drama was sold at a sky-high price of 1.8 million US dollars per episode.

But that was more than ten years later, and it was an era when online streaming platforms were prevalent.

At this point in time.

In fact, it is almost the same period as in another time and space.

The awareness of copyright protection is not that strong.

Let’s use an analogy.

In my hometown on the other side of the ocean, piracy is still prevalent.

Only the larger TV stations are willing to purchase the copyrights of Korean dramas.

so.

Mango TV is very sincere in offering this price.

of course.

No matter how sincere.

It is impossible to get the exclusive broadcasting rights at this price.

Let’s talk about it in detail.

At most, it can be regarded as an exclusive broadcasting right with a time limit.

such as.

Both parties can directly indicate this when signing the contract.

Within a certain period of time.

Golden Gate Films has guaranteed that it will never sell the broadcasting rights of these two dramas to other TV stations in the same country...

Regarding the sale of broadcasting rights.

There's nothing to worry about.

There is no such thing as a gambling agreement or profit-sharing.

Without completely selling out.

All Kinmen Films has to do is try their best to raise the price.

at this point.

Oh Soo Yeon did a great job.

so far.

Wu Xiuyan has signed cooperation agreements with some of the foreign TV stations on behalf of Kinmen Films.

It’s all fixed price.

Hand over the money in one hand and the film in the other.

Plus the broadcasting revenue obtained from the previous cooperation with MBC TV station.

now.

The revenue from broadcasting rights alone on Kinmen Films' books reached nearly 20 billion won.

Half of it belongs to Ding Xin’s personal income.

That is copyright income.

The remaining half is classified as the company's book revenue, belonging to all shareholders including Ding Xin.

after all.

The original scripts of these two dramas were written by Ding Xin.

No need to question.

That's how everyone plays.

Otherwise, why would everyone be vying to be the head of a subsidiary?

For example, Li Zhongjiu...

That guy runs the hotel-casino business at Golden Gate.

Let’s not talk about the hotel for now, let’s talk about the casino.

If a big customer comes, do you think he won’t take a personal cut?

Another example is Ding Qing...

After the deal in Annan City was concluded, he and Ding Xin also received a commission from the business.

But don't overdo it, just three to five points at most.

The same goes for several others.

Just one sentence.

As long as the head office can make sense of the accounts at the end of the year, it's fine...

...

of course.

This is far from the limit of the two dramas...

Not to mention the ongoing negotiations and subsequent sales of broadcasting rights, as well as some advertising revenue.

Let’s talk about these two dramas after they were introduced to those countries.

The foreign markets that can be opened.

foreseeable.

In the near future, the fame of Han Ga-in, the leading actress in the drama, will take a qualitative leap.

As long as you become famous abroad.
