Chapter 202 TV Series Overseas
At the end of December, with the broadcast of the last episode of "My Sunshine", this phenomenal idol drama with a total of 34 episodes and spanning two months finally came to an end on Mango TV.
From the opening rating of 1.53 to the final episode of 2.44, the average rating was 2.23 and the average audience share was 9.43.
This result ranked second for Mango TV in 2014 and also second among all TV stations.
This year, Mango TV firmly holds the top spot in local satellite TV ratings thanks to the two TV series "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Come On, My Love".
Even though Blueberry Channel's popular variety show "Running Man" which started in October has emerged as a rising star, Mango Channel also has variety shows such as "Where Are We Going, Dad?", "Happy Camp" and "Day Day Up" that can compete with it.
But when it comes to TV dramas, Blueberry Channel is far behind.
January 2015 is about to begin, but unfortunately, there is no hope for Blueberry Channel to regain its position on TV for a period of time at the beginning of the year.
Because after the end of "Come on, My Love", Mango TV started broadcasting another great drama, Fan Bingbing's "The Empress of China".
Because this drama has a total of 96 episodes, it cannot be broadcast weekly on the Diamond Exclusive Theater after "Shan Shan" and can only be placed on the Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater.
Three episodes are broadcasted in one day. Although the total number of episodes is a bit long, it is still enjoyable to watch.
The ratings of "The Empress of China" exceeded 2 on the first day of its broadcast, reaching 2.1, and the audience share was 6.17, which was an amazing result.
At the beginning of 2015, there was a TV series with explosive success, standing at the top of all the waiting dramas, waiting for everyone to catch up.
Back to "My Sunshine", after the first round of broadcast in China, the second round has been sold to Blueberry TV, Shandong TV, Shaanxi TV and Southeast TV respectively.
That’s not all. News came from Juku that due to the excellent quality of “Come, My Love” and its extremely high popularity in China, TV stations in Japan, South Korea and Thailand are interested in purchasing the broadcasting rights.
After several rounds of negotiations, the Japanese and South Korean TV stations purchased it for a total price of US$500,000 each, and the Thai TV station purchased it for a total price of US$340,000.
The total amount of the three companies converted into RMB is less than 10 million. It is not a lot of money, but it is of great significance.
[My Sunshine] became popular abroad and was introduced by foreign TV stations at a cost. This treatment was only given to the super hits in previous years.
For example, "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Scarlet Heart", and "My Fair Princess" which was popular in Southeast Asia more than ten years ago.
It can be said that having achieved this point, no matter who reviews the popular TV series in recent years, "My Sunshine" will be included.
Renmin.com published a news article specifically on this situation: "Domestic dramas go overseas, with idols leading the way."
The news provides a detailed inventory of TV series that have been popular in China in recent years and were later bought by foreign TV stations for broadcast.
The last one to be mentioned is "My Sunshine", and Renmin.com said that this drama has accurate values, excellent production, and wonderful plot. It has set an example for domestic idol dramas and has also allowed domestic idol dramas to get rid of the title of "copycat". It is a classic of domestic sweet idol dramas.
The reason why [Shanshan] can sell its overseas copyright is not only because of its popularity in China.
As of the end of December, the single-episode playback volume of "Shan Shan" on YouTube, the largest overseas video playback platform, reached 3 million, making it the most-played domestic TV series on the Internet.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan", which once ranked first, has a single episode playback volume of more than 1 million, while other popular domestic dramas have only hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of clicks.
It is also for this reason that foreign TV stations have come to us and purchased the broadcasting rights.
Among the three TV stations, only South Korea insisted on using the original name of the TV series "My Sunshine" after introducing it.
The trailer released by Thailand is called "Shan Shan Comes to Eat", while the Japanese one is much worse, and the TV series was renamed "Cinderella at 12 Noon"
"Okay, I understand. You can communicate with the merchant first. Don't worry, carefully screen products of the same category and compare them in terms of product quality, popularity, and endorsement fees. I'll make a decision after I return to the company in a few days."
After saying some other things, Gu Wei hung up the phone call from his agent.
Ever since the hit drama "Come, My Love", Yang Liwen has received many invitations from businesses to be her spokesperson.
Although Gu Wei was also popular before, his previous dramas "Swords of Legends" and "Assassin's Spring Blade" were two costume dramas. Although "Detective Chinatown" is set in modern times, due to the needs of the plot, Gu Wei's appearance is relatively young, and he wears a military green windbreaker from beginning to end, which does not highlight his handsomeness.
【Shan Shan】is different. In this TV series, the character of "Feng Teng" is the eldest son of a wealthy family and the president of a group company.
From his clothing to his appearance and temperament, his every gesture can make the audience feel the charm of the domineering president.
Gu Wei's appearance and temperament also brought the character to life. It can be said that he has both a sense of fashion and an aristocratic air.
This hits a sore spot for many fashion and luxury brands.
They thought that the image of Gu Wei in "Come On, My Love" was their chosen spokesperson, so their agent was overwhelmed with invitations.
"Excuse me, can I borrow your phone?"
After putting down his phone, Gu Wei smiled and spoke to Reba who was sitting next to him.
"It's okay, it's okay, just go ahead and do your thing~"
Reba wore a black leather jacket with a white base shirt underneath and black tight jeans.
Her hair is tied into a ponytail, she has fair skin and three-dimensional facial features, and she looks like a bright and beautiful woman.
But the way she crossed her legs and ate melon seeds somewhat ruined her image.
She came to visit the crew of "Love O2O" today.
This is not the first time she has come here. After talking to Nazha on the phone last month, she has come here twice. Both times, she was filming in Shanghai. She is the second female lead in the crew there. When she has no filming tasks, she comes to visit the crew of "Love O2O".
After Reba came over, Gu Wei also took her to participate in group activities, eating and drinking with everyone, playing games and having meals together.
After a few interactions, Reba became familiar with everyone in the "Love O2O" crew.
"You seem to be quite free lately. Have you finished filming [Diamond Lover]?"
Gu Wei asked as he looked at Reba who was talking non-stop.
"My role was finished yesterday."
"Didn't the company arrange a new job for you?"
"Not yet. How can a small actor like me find so many roles?
Besides, I am not the only actress in the company now, so some resources need to be shared among us.
I just finished playing the second female lead in this TV series, so I don't think I'll be able to get any other roles for a while."
Reba's tone was a little depressed, then she looked at Gu Wei and said pitifully.
"'Senior Brother Tu Su', when can you help 'Junior Sister'?"
Gu Wei looked at Reba's funny face with amusement.
"Shouldn't 'Little Junior Sister' be looking for 'Big Brother'?"
"'Big Brother' is not as handsome as 'Tu Su', so of course I have to find the most handsome one!"
Reba expressed her true thoughts in a joking tone.
"Actually, you don't have to worry. I'm quite optimistic about the drama you just finished filming, 'Diamond Lover.' You'll have a lot to gain after this drama."
Gu Wei said.
"Really?" Reba was a little surprised. Although she didn't see any explosive points in the TV series she starred in, Gu Wei has always had a good eye and has never made a mistake so far.
"certainly."
"It's a pity that I'm only the second female lead."
Thinking that she was just a supporting actress in the TV series, Reba felt a little depressed again.
Looking at Reba's expression, Gu Wei smiled and said to her:
"It doesn't matter what role you play, as long as you perform well, the audience will buy in.
In some TV series, even if you are a 'special guest star', as long as your acting is good, you can outperform the main character."
Gu Wei did not explain anything in detail. It was too early to say anything now. After the TV series was released, Reba would naturally understand.
In the original time and space, after the release of "Diamond Lover", Dilireba, who played the female supporting role, received rave reviews for her acting skills, and was therefore loved by many audiences and became a little famous for a while.
Tang Yan, who plays the female lead in the drama, has been criticized for her naive character setting and acting skills.
In order to increase the popularity of its actors, Jiaxing Media issued many notices to criticize Tang Yan.
Tang Yan was also dissatisfied with Jiaxing Media, where Yang Mi worked, because of this incident, and the relationship between the two gradually became distant.
