9days ago Urban Novels 7
Although Qin Tian has a good relationship with Disney Pictures, even an ally, Disney Pictures is Disney Pictures and ABC is ABC. Both sides are not the same person in charge, but an independent organization at the same level.

At the same time, because of the natural opposition between small screens and large screens, the contradictions between the two sides are actually quite large.

Compared with Disney Pictures' unlimited glory in recent years, ABC is naturally in a down-and-out position. Although it is still one of the three major TV giants in North America, it has been beaten up very badly in terms of performance, and it is not even as profitable as the rising star HOB. The leader Billyz is often criticized by shareholders and even has some unstable status.

The enemy's friend is the enemy. Although the relationship between Billyz and Andy has not reached that level, it will not open the door to convenience because Qin Tian has a good relationship with Disney Pictures, so the price given is US$25 million.

It's a little better than CBS

Qin Tian naturally didn't know these situations at first, but after communicating with Belize and the others for a long time, the other party bit the price tightly and did not let go. Qin Tian immediately understood.

What are all thousand-year-old vixen playing? It’s obvious that the other party is bullying you and giving you a low price that is not too low. Do you like to sell it? Anyway, it’s higher than CBS, and it’s considered a kindness and righteousness.

Qin Tian is now beginning to understand why when he came to CBS in the morning, the offer price there was so low. What is the Legend of Zhen Huan? Can it be compared with Three Life Three Life?

Although the Legend of Zhen Huan is very good, the investment is only 70 million yuan, but now it only has about 200 million yuan.

If Qin Tian’s pay is calculated at least 100 million US dollars in investment amount, Qin Tian’s leading screenwriter can still get a 1.5 billion yuan pay, but some people outside are willing to pay more than 200 million yuan.

But what's the result?

The TV series invested with 70 million yuan sold nearly 16 million US dollars, not only earning back the capital, but also making nearly 30 million yuan.

Qin Tian’s investment of 100 million US dollars can only be sold for 25 million US dollars. Not only can he make money back, he also loses 75 million US dollars.

Although Qin Tian can make a big profit by relying solely on the mainland market, Qin Tian is definitely unwilling to sell this amount of money in such a large market in North America. The low price in his heart starts at 40 million US dollars.

After all, it is at least about 20 million US dollars for selling island countries.

It really sells for 25 million yuan, but the country and the island countries can't sell at a high price. It's impossible to offer any high price in Southeast Asia. It's too much of a loss.

Or if we change the way of playing, how about betting?

Don't think that only Chinese people like to bet. In fact, Americans like to bet the most. They dare to use anything, otherwise they would not invent the gambling model, so Qin Tian directly planned to play gambling.

Billyz won't underestimate Qin Tian. He knows what kind of existence is in front of him, and he can even rank in the top 100 Forbes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been personally received by the ABC president, and just send a film purchasing manager.

Are you betting? Qin, you can tell me, if you can, you can't bet once

Of course, it is betting on the ratings, and it is betting on your calculation model. The 18 Waves 49 age group premiere + 7 days DVR and OD combined average viewership

Since Qin Tian dared to come, he naturally investigated and learned about the situation of TV dramas in the United States, so he was definitely prepared.

After hearing this, Billyz also knew that the opponent was an expert. Most people don’t know the calculation model of the ratings of American TV series, so many people were cheated by them when they were talking about contracts.

The algorithms on both sides are completely different. The ratings in the United States are much lower than those in China.

How to bet?

First of all, there is a rating of 1 point, which is the level of ordinary dramas. In North America, you can usually sell for 300,000 yuan per episode. If this rating is lower than this, I will give you free

Qin Tian said while staring at Belize and wanted to see his reaction. Unfortunately, Belize was still very calm. It seemed that this guy was actually aware of the goods and just wanted to get a bargain.

Qin Tian continued: Then there is 1 point tilde 2 point ratings, 500,000 episode 2 tilde 3 points is almost the level of the annual hot drama, and can rank in the top 30 of the year, 800,000 episode 3 tilde 4 points, and can enter the top 10 of the year, 1.5 million episode 4 tilde 5 points can become a phenomenon, 2 million episodes end up being the category of the magic drama, breaking five, every 05 points more, there will be one million more, and the top will not be topped

As soon as Qin Tian said this, Billyz was scared. This guy was too crazy. Do you really think he was an idiot?

If you become the annual champion like "The Walking Dead", and the ratings reach 88, it would be 9 million US dollars per episode, it would not seem to be a loss. It would be very cost-effective to have such a rating.

But Billyz immediately dispelled the idea and refused directly: This is impossible to really bet, so come like this, it's free of charge below 2 points, 2 Waves 3.500,000 US dollars, 3 Waves 4.1 million US dollars, I'll give you three million US dollars a episode after breaking 4, if I can break six, I'll give you five million episodes, I think it's OK, we'll sign the contract

This price is fierce enough. Qin Tian only has one possibility to make more than 40 million US dollars. The ratings exceed 3, close to the top ten of the year, and the price is only sold for one million US dollars per episode. The price is so cheap Ah, do you really think that he doesn't know anything?

If there is really such a rating, it is someone who is willing to take the initiative for three million. It seems that it can't be discussed anymore. After all, Qin Tian doesn't know how the response of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" in North America. After all, the Legend of Zhen Huan has not broken 2 in North America, and it seems that it is only about 13.

Since we have such a big difference, let's do it for the time being. Everyone thinks carefully and see if they can seek common ground while reserving differences. I will say goodbye first.

After Qin Tian finished speaking, he took his personal lawyer Li Binglan to leave first, planning to go to HOB to talk.

Billyz didn't expect Qin Tian to refuse so decisively. It seems that this guy would rather not enter North America than sell it at a low price.

This is actually very normal. If you can't sell high prices in North America, many people would rather not buy it because it will affect the selling prices in other markets.

And now it is the Internet era, with many video platforms. For example, Qin Tian’s Three Life Three Worlds can pay for on-demand play to get a share.
