Chapter 788

But in fact, did Lin Xiao lose money?Obviously not!
"Friends" is the North American version of Huaguo's "Love Apartment".

In fact, there are not a few domestic media and netizens who pay attention to this drama.

Because it can be said that "Friends" is Huaguo's first TV series copyright exported to the outside world.

"Love Apartment" has already been hailed as a national drama in China, and is deeply loved by young people.

And now "Love Apartment" has been filmed in China for 4 seasons!
Every season can steadily occupy the ratings champion of the broadcast period.

Such a series, which is loved by countless young people in China, was exported to North America and became "Friends". Whether it can succeed or not will naturally attract many people's attention.

As a result, "Friends" had a ratings of 180 million when it first aired, which disappointed many people.

Even some domestic small media said sarcastically that a drama like "Love Apartment" only has a domestic market.

As a result, "Friends" reached a new level every week, and suddenly exploded, and even became the hottest drama of the year in North America, which stunned countless people.

In fact, "Love Apartment" is definitely not the first domestic TV drama to be sold overseas. Earlier domestic dramas, Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas have a good market in many countries in Asia.

But that is only limited to some parts of Asia. There are also many film copyrights sold abroad, but most of them are concentrated in Asia.

However, the right to adapt the TV series was sold to Europe and the United States, and even caused a sensation. That is really the only number one Scorpion Lababa!
"A divine drama is a divine drama, and gold shines everywhere!"

"I just said that our national drama, even if it is not acclimatized to Laomei, it is only temporary. Let's watch it now, the drama is a drama everywhere!"

"Stunning, I am Greater China! After so many years, I have finally taken the first step in the cultural export of TV drama works!"

"Yeah, I went to watch the North American version of "Friends". Every character in it can be found in the prototype of "Love Apartment", but the plot is different."

"And didn't you find out? "Friends" contains a lot of Huaguo elements, because the Li in it is from our Huaguo."

"This kind of cultural implantation is called moistening things silently!"

The original Indian character in Lin Xiao's version of "Friends" was replaced by a Chinese.

Then naturally, some Huaguo elements appeared in this drama very naturally. Isn't this also part of promoting Huaguo culture?
And the key is, it's not abrupt, it's a natural insertion into the plot.

This is not to mention disgusting and abrupt than those embarrassingly implanted Huaguo elements in the plot, which is a world of difference.

In fact, the first season of "Friends" was sold to NBC at the price of cabbage, less than 800 million U.S. dollars, and what's more, the other party only bought it for the sake of the Dick Group.

As a result, this price has now become the object of ridicule for NBC by countless TV networks. Why?
It stands to reason that in the first season of "Friends", NBC won a super hit drama at such a low price, and it can be said that it made a lot of money, which is definitely a very impressive result.

Of course, this is based on the premise that "Friends" only has one season, but the key is that "Friends" certainly cannot have only one season.

Then the question arises, if NBC does not produce more blood than other TV stations in the second season, "Friends" may miss them.

The reason is very simple, you have earned so much f---, if you don't spit it out, don't make up for it, then why should I continue to cooperate with you?

And that's not all!

The sudden popularity of "Friends" proved the strength of Legendary Pictures.

Well, apart from "Friends", many people have noticed that in fact, Legendary Pictures is producing not only one series like "Friends", but also two other series.

This point was mentioned earlier.

For the other two episodes, Lin Xiao also gave the idea and the plot outline of the previous episodes.

For this reason, whether it is NBC or several other TV networks, they all offered an olive branch to Legendary Pictures.

In the eyes of old beauties, the creed that successful people can always succeed is very common.

Since Legendary Films was able to produce a "Friends" that everyone didn't like, but it turned out to be a big hit, is it also possible to replicate the legend of "Friends"?

In the end, the sequel of "Friends" still fell into the hands of NBC. Not only that, NBC even directly booked the next three seasons of "Friends".

Of course, NBC also paid a huge price for this!
For the second season of "Friends" alone, the transaction price has made countless people's eyes drop!

$1 billion!
Originally, NBC was also discouraged by this price, but when the highest ratings of "Friends" exceeded 4000 million, NBC completely softened!
Not just 1 million US dollars, there are many other additional conditions!

And how much did the second season of "Friends" cost to produce?

Less than 3000 million US dollars!
This is also because the salaries of the leading actors have risen sharply.

And the income of a popular drama in North America is definitely not limited to the first round broadcast rights sold to TV stations.

There are also network broadcast rights, DVD rights and so on.

Although the first season was sold to NBC for the price of cabbage, and it could not make any money at all, the rebroadcast and other copyrights brought at least tens of millions of income to the show.

Needless to say, the second season.

For this reason, Legendary Pictures launched its first shot in North America!
When the news was sent back to the country, it caused a series of reports in the media, and even exploded on the Internet.

Shock! The second season of the North American version of "Friends" of "Love Apartment" sold for a sky-high price of more than 1 million US dollars!

The national drama of Huaguo goes abroad, and it is still a drama!

The hottest drama of the year in North America originates from China!

Huaguo fired the first shot of exporting TV dramas!
"Friends" has strong Huaguo elements, and its model is worth learning for domestic filmmakers!
A new way of cultural output, from "Love Apartment" to "Friends", Lin Xiao created another miracle!

From "Kung Fu Panda" rich in Huaguo elements to "Once Upon a Time" series, to the "Terminator" series of the savior of Huaguo people, to the "Three Kingdoms" series of movies, and "Friends" which created a ratings record, Ling Xiaoge has been walking in the promotion of On the road of Huaguo culture!
"Friends" became popular in North America, creating a transaction price of [-] million U.S. dollars for one season. Not only did the people cheer, but even China's official media reported the news seriously, and even called the success of "Friends" a One of the most favorable evidences for the rise of Huaguo's cultural industry!
Because of this, the Ling Xiao Pavilion has registered with the relevant cultural departments of Huaguo!
With the help of Hollywood blockbusters, North America selects cultural exports around the world, while Huaguo's domestic films have always been shrunk in the country, which has always been a pain in the hearts of Chinese people. Today, although there are only a few films and one TV series, they are still Let countless people feel a sense of elation.
