Chapter 42: Disturbance after signing the contract
"To be honest, ITV's bid of 20 million pounds is beyond our imagination."
After the signing ceremony, Zhuke returned to the hotel and talked to Martha. His words were still full of shock!
20 million pounds!
Although this price is not worth mentioning compared to the later licensing of "Good Voice" and "American Idol" in the UK, there is a premise that the high price will only be available after the program is broadcast. of. Today, Wald Pictures has no experience in the production of variety shows; secondly, it has not finished broadcasting.
Under this premise, ITV can offer a high price of 20 million pounds, which shows its courage.
Sister Martha said solemnly: "Boss, no wonder ITV is known as the second largest television station in the UK and the largest private television station. They are indeed very capable."
"Well, that's right."
Zhuke also agrees.
In fact, Zhu Ke thought to himself: "Fuck! The "Talent Show" in the original time and space was produced and broadcasted by ITV in the UK. I didn't expect to go back to them after a round trip, but Lao Tzu, a middleman, made a profit. 20 million pounds."
ITV is indeed influential in the UK!
Whether it is the past "Mr. Bean" or the future "Downton Abbey", they are all produced and broadcasted.
It is the BBC’s biggest competitor, and every move involves and attracts the attention of all parties.
No, the signing ceremony did not last long. When it came to the copyright of "Go Talent", there was a lot of rumors in the British Isles.
...
University College London.
Christopher Nolan, who was resting in the dormitory at the moment, was also shocked by the report of the "Evening News" in his hand.
"Brother, the Wald Pictures mentioned in the report, is it Mr. Zucker Wald's company?" Jonathan Nolan, the younger brother, exclaimed.
Christopher Nolan nodded vigorously even though he was in shock.
"Wow!"
"Mr. Wald, it's amazing!"
"Only the copyright of a variety show, and only the copyright in the UK and Australia, sold for 20 million pounds, which is shocking!"
"If the money is used to make a movie, you can definitely make a medium-cost movie!"
The younger brother Jonathan chattered excitedly.
...
British BBC Broadcasting Corporation.
Bang~!
As the person in charge of the Variety Show Operations Department, Klaus Tang was very angry at the moment and slapped the table: "Damn Wald, **** Cindy, they even gave the "God Talent Show" that should belong to us. Brought to ITV!"
After a pause, he looked at Dacorta and cursed again: "You idiot. Didn't you say that you can complete the copyright acquisition after it is handed over to you? But now?"
Dacorta felt depressed.
He never thought that the fat that was about to reach his mouth would disappear.
The most important thing is that the person who snatched "The Got Talent" is still the BBC's biggest competitor, and the person who shot it is Cindy, who has been grieving with him for a long time.
When the two are added together, Dacorta is even more resentful.
"Wald Pictures, wait for me, I must make you look good. Don't think I don't know anyone in Hollywood~!"
...
As soon as the "Evening News" report came out, it shocked the major British media, and when the next morning came, the storm swept the people even more.
"Daily Telegraph" said: "ITV strikes out hard and joins hands with Hollywood companies to create the latest and strongest variety show."
"Daily Mail" said: "The sky-high copyright transaction of 20 million pounds makes us look forward to the broadcast of "The Talent Show"."
The Guardian said: "ITV is worthy of being the largest private television station in the UK. Its courage to fight is one of the signs of the new era."
"London Morning Standard": "Wald Pictures? It is not a completely unknown company. The copyright of "Teletubbies" which was broadcast on the BBC and caused a sensation earlier came from this company."
The above reports are strictly speaking positive, and they are relatively pertinent and neutral reports.
However, some newspapers and periodicals are very grandstanding.
"The Sun" said: "Sky-high copyright transactions?! It's just a gimmick."
"Daily Express" said: "ITV is reduced to a laughing stock! Their stupidity will make the entire ITV into a quagmire."
"Daily Mirror" stated: ""The Got Talent Show", a low-level show with eyeballs, must be reduced to a ridiculous clown because of the arrogance of ITV and Wald Pictures. Their ending can only be a failure! "
The reports of major newspapers, whether positive, neutral or negative, are weaker than the public reaction in the British Isles.
"Oh? You asked me how I look at ITV's sky-high copyright transactions?"
"How can you see?"
"Of course I waited for it to be broadcast before watching it, are you stupid?!"
The words of a young man facing the interview camera made the reporter in charge of street interviews dumbfounded.
The reporter narrowed his face, mmp in his heart.
Fuck!
Laozi said so clearly in and out of his words, but you are so good that you actually answered the broadcast and watched it.
You illiterate~!
Well, don’t look at Britain and the United States as developed countries. The popularization rate of people’s education is very high. There are many high-level intellectuals, but they are more illiterate and a bunch of rough men.
"Did you ask me about "The Talent Show"?"
"Of course, I saw ITV's report last night!"
"What? You said ITV is an idiot?"
"Man, are you crazy!"
"What a great show idea for "The Talent Show"! It is a stage to select folk talents, of course I want to participate. I believe I will be the champion~!"
A young and beautiful girl, facing reporters who interviewed, constantly told about her future after participating in the talent show~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the reporters who wanted to leave for a long time became even more heady.

...
During his stay in the UK, after signing the contract, Zhuke also took the initiative to call the Nolan brothers and invite them to dinner.
Zhuke's show can be wooed, so that the excited Nolan brothers can't wait to fly to Hollywood right away and start their life of working for Zhuke.
After the British affairs were over, Zhuke and others returned to Los Angeles again.
"By the way, how many box offices does our "Fruit Hard Candies" have now?"
The first time he saw Victor, Zhu Ke asked about the box office of hard candy. That's right, although the cost of fruit hard candy is very small, compared to what Zucker made during this trip to London, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning, but the truth is not said.
More money, less money, just secondary.
From the beginning of the journey, Zhu Ke understood that the film company is his root, and the industry he is more familiar with, let alone his passion.
can't be lost at all!
I don’t want to throw it away!
"Boss, "Fruit Hard Candy" has been released for 10 days and the box office has reached 3.1 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the final box office will be around 5 million U.S. dollars." Victor replied.
Zhuke nodded and said: "No matter what the final box office of "Fruit Candies" is, but the director of Zach Schneider, you have to win me over. We will still count on him to make good movies in the future. Up."
"Yes, I think so too." Victor replied.
A "Fruit Hard Candy" is indeed not making much money, but it is a big profit to win a super director in the future!
