Chapter 1375

After celebrating his sister's birthday, Cao Gong continued to return to his work state.

The last special episode of "Perfect World" continues to be popular.

Although it is only one episode, this special episode is enough for all other fairy dramas to learn from.

The domineering double play of Cao Gong and Liu Yifei can be said to have set the whole network on fire.

On the international version of TikTok, the high-energy explosive fighting scenes and special effects of this special episode made Hollywood pale in comparison, and countless foreign movie fans joked about it.

Just these fighting scenes and shocking special effects are enough for Hollywood to learn for several years.

It is undeniable that Hollywood's movie special effects are very good.

But the special effects are good, but there is not much novelty in the design.

The special effects in Cao Gong's fantasy drama are completely different.

Special effects rendering of large scenes should be used, but at the same time, it also needs to have its own special effects characteristics of loyalty to the country.

Cao Gong knows how to combine Zhongguo's martial arts with special effects to create more gorgeous, cool and shocking special effects.

These are unimaginable for Hollywood special effects artists.

It is this unique special effects design that makes the wonderful clips of this TV series very popular abroad.

There are even foreign fans asking, what drama is this? I want to watch it.

But I learned that the TV series has not been broadcast yet, and it will be in August or September.

But even so, there are still many Internet video platforms in many countries who find Gongyang Entertainment to discuss the overseas broadcast rights of "Perfect World".

As the boss's wife, Yang Mi certainly attaches great importance to this matter.

She came to discuss with these foreign platforms in person.

At present, the price of 16 per episode for the export of domestic dramas to overseas is also very high.

In 2011, the price of the overseas copyright of domestic dramas was several thousand yuan per episode.

Now 10 years have passed, and the overseas copyright price of domestic dramas has increased by more than ten times.

Take the 2021 drama "The Long Ballad" by Dilraba and Wu Lei, the overseas copyright is 150,000 US dollars per episode, what does this mean?

Let's talk about last year's "Why Secretary Yang is Like This", "Sito", and Dilraba's "You Are My Glory". The overseas copyright fees of these TV series are even sold for 200,000 US dollars per episode.

Cao Gong is now well-known internationally, although he has acted in very few international films.

But the domestic dramas and films he acted in are very popular on overseas websites.

Especially in Asian countries such as Han, Dao, and Tai, Cao Gong's popularity and fame are no worse than their local top stars.

Even in Europe and the United States, many people watch Cao Gong's movies and TV series.

He doesn't need to go to Hollywood to make movies like Cheng Long and others to be well-known and influential internationally.

He just needs to make domestic dramas and films so that more people abroad can see them.

Like "The Cage of Spirits", "DevouringStarry Sky" are very popular abroad.

Many foreign movie fans said, why not choose to release it overseas? If it is released in the cinema, it will be more enjoyable to watch.

It's a pity that it can only be seen on the website.

"What does the platform say now?" Liu Yifei took the time to talk to her boyfriend about the new drama.

"Dream of Hualu?" Cao Gong thought that Liu Yifei was talking about this drama.

"No, isn't this drama a work of Tencent? I'm talking about "Perfect World", which is our work. Have you confirmed which platform to cooperate with?"

So this is what you want to talk about.

"All major platforms are vying for the copyright. iQiyi, Youku, Tencent and Mango TV are all vying for it."

"With the hype of the four special episodes, the popularity is higher than that of many ancient idol dramas."

"Now that the drama is coming, the four major platforms want the copyright."

"And there is also satellite TV broadcasting. Mango TV, Blueberry TV and Tomato TV have all reserved a quota for ancient costume broadcasting for this drama."

"All major platforms and major satellite TV stations are also vying for it."

"Mi Mi has been worrying about this drama recently." Speaking of it, Cao Gong couldn't help it.

He laughed not because the TV series was so popular, not because the platforms were vying for it.

It was because Yang Mi was worried about this drama and talked about the issue of the half circle with major platforms.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how much did you invest in this drama?" Liu Yifei thought of this.

It seems that from beginning to end, her husband never said how much money he invested in this drama?

How much money was invested in the whole drama?

Cao Gong looked at Concubine Liu Yi beside him, feeling a little embarrassed.

"1.6 billion?!!!!" Before she could answer, Concubine Liu Yi made a bold guess.

"Ahem~" Cao Gong, who was drinking tea, was so shocked that he coughed repeatedly.

"Really? Are you crazy? Investing 1.6 billion in a TV series?"

"20 million per episode, are you going to die?" Concubine Liu Yi bit her lip.

"No, I haven't had time to spend money these years, so I might as well make it better."

"This is the only fantasy drama I wrote, directed and acted in, and it has so many big scenes."

"If there is no such cost, there is no way to make it."

"Don't worry, even if there is no money to make, it is impossible to lose money, and even if there is a loss, the loss will not be too big."

On this point, Cao Gong has calculated that it should not lose money.

Since it will not lose money, then there is no problem with a larger investment.

As long as this TV series is well made, then the reputation will be built up, and it can also be popular abroad, so that more foreigners can see the awesomeness of domestic dramas, then this 1.6 billion investment is worth it.

"Okay." Liu Yifei, who was originally excited, is no longer excited now.

"The lineup of this TV series is also very strong, with former top stars and current top stars." (To read the best novels, go to Flylu Novel Network! )

"There are top-tier young actresses, popular young actresses, and new young actresses."

"The cast of this drama, any famous role, is played by first-, second-, and third-tier stars and actors in the circle. It is definitely the most luxurious cast of domestic dramas."

"Compared to the cast of movies like "The Founding of an Army" and "The Founding of a Republic", it is no worse."

Looking back, Liu Yifei also felt that when filming, there were really many actors in the circle.

It can be said that everyone invited Cao Gong to perform because of his face.

Because many actors have received help from Cao Gong.

Many people were in poor health and asked Cao Gong to treat their illnesses.

Or their relatives and friends were sick, and then they came to Cao Gong for treatment.

They all owed Cao Gong a favor. After Cao Gong issued an invitation, the other party came without hesitation.

Many newcomers are willing to make guest appearances in order to make friends with Cao Gong.

It can be said that 90% of the actors in this TV series do not ask for pay.

Except for a few important supporting roles, the actors and stars who come to make special appearances or guest appearances are not paid. Only Cao Gong treats them to dinner.

"Do you think this drama will be popular?" Liu Yifei is very worried about this.

"The expectations are so high now. If it doesn't become popular when it's aired, it'll be the end of it."

Faced with this question, Cao Gong pinched his chin and thought: "I don't know about this, but I am very confident about one thing."[]

Liu Yifei, who was in tune with her, quickly said: "It will definitely be popular abroad."

"Yes, it will definitely be popular abroad, because this kind of TV series, this kind of shooting technique, this kind of beautiful, ethereal and dreamy scene, except for Zhongguo, no director from any other country can shoot it."

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't become popular in China; but it will be fine if it can become popular abroad."

"I just want to take advantage of this global disease to let the global audience see the cohesion and strength of Zhongguo. When they are very concerned and interested in Zhongguo, I will come up with such a TV series to let them see the shock of Zhongguo TV series."

"Then through this TV series, we can convey our Zhongguo culture to foreigners, and the 1.6 billion will be worth it." Cao Gong has a big plan, which is definitely worth the 1.6 billion.

Seeing her husband so confident, Liu Yifei, who knew him well, pondered for a moment.

Pinching her chin, Liu Yifei elegantly lifted her beautiful legs.

Under Cao Gong's fascinated gaze, Liu Yifei said, "No, it won't be that simple."

"After being your bedmate for so many years, I have a hunch that you have other plans."

Hugging Liu Yifei's waist, Cao Gong smiled with particular satisfaction.

In addition to fascination, the look in Liu Yifei's eyes also showed relief and recognition.

"7-day transit visa-free." While Liu Yifei was thinking, Cao GongGave her a reminder.

Liu Yifei, who was confused at first, understood it instantly: "Ah~"

"Because of the disease, our country's economy has declined in the past three years."

"And you consider that the disease will be completely open in December this year and no longer controlled."

"Then by then, foreign tourists will be able to travel to Zhongguo."

"In order to stimulate more foreigners to travel to China, you can use this work and broadcast it abroad, so that this drama will be popular abroad, and foreigners will have greater curiosity about our Zhongguo after watching this drama, and raise the idea of ​​traveling to Zhongguo."

"Finally, with the 7-day visa-free transit policy, it will be more convenient and less troublesome for foreigners to travel to Zhongguo, which will naturally stimulate foreign tourists to visit Zhongguo."

"Once they come to Zhongguo for tourism, the domestic tourism industry, hotels and other related industries will quickly recover due to the consumption of a large number of foreign tourists, allowing more industries affected by the disease to recover economically."

"Investing 1.6 billion in a TV series may bring 16 billion or even 160 billion in economic income to Zhongguo." Liu Yifei clapped her hands excitedly and told her husband's plan.

It was after understanding that Liu Yifei knew that her husband had actually started planning for a few years when he invested in this TV series in 2020?

Cao Gong tilted his head to look at Liu Yifei and said, "The atmosphere is here, don't you want to kiss?"

"Puchi~" Seeing her boyfriend asking for a reward, Liu Yifei was amused and laughed, but also winked at him: "Suspender black stockings, mesh stockings, you decide."

Cao Gong, who received the reward, was of course satisfied. .
