The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"Squid Game" became popular, not only the TV series became popular, but the six mini-games promoted by this TV series also became popular.

Small games such as "123 Wooden Man", "Pan Candy", "Tug of War", "Marbles", "Glass Suspension Bridge" and "Squid Battle" are all the rage in China, and these small games themselves are one of the joys of Chinese childhood.

The astute TV station immediately realized that "Squid Game" could be adapted into a variety show.

Several Taiwanese universities started fighting for a while, and finally Shanghai TV bought out the rights to adapt the variety show "Squid Game" for a sky-high price of 2 million.

456 viewers are also invited to participate and play these 6 games. How many people can complete the final six games will share the grand prize with a total prize of 456 million.

However, Shanghai TV won the right to adapt the variety show only on the eighth day after the TV series was released, and the finale was not even aired.

"Director Zhang, did you let us buy this script because you saw that this TV series has broad prospects for game and variety show adaptation, as well as the patent rights for various related products?"

Mr. Wang of Friendship Brothers is satisfied that the script has received 2 million in variety show adaptation fees.

"Mr. Wang, in the past few days, Chinese netizens have been discussing this TV series. Several online platforms want to buy the second round of broadcast rights, including TV stations who want to buy the rights to adapt variety shows, and game companies who want to buy game adaptations. Quan, Mr. Wang, I once told you that this script is worth 3 million." Director Zhang was a little excited.

"Director Zhang, you are right, this script is a good buy." Mr. Wang is naturally happy to be able to make money.

Although about 7 million yuan was invested in this TV series, 13 billion yuan has been recovered through various methods. There are also several online media companies competing for the second round of broadcast rights, as well as the adaptation of various games and variety shows. Right, including the sales patent rights of peripheral products, it seems that there is no problem at all in making billions by relying on this script.

Mr. Wang pointed his fingers and said with a smile: "The first-round broadcast fee of 1.5 million per episode is close to 2 million advertising fees. 5000 million yuan for variety show adaptation rights, 7 million yuan for naming rights for peripheral products, and 13 million yuan has been invested. We have recovered billion, and this is just the beginning, this "Squid Game" will be our most profitable business this year!"

"No wonder Xia Haoyang would ask for a sky-high price of 9 million for a 2.4-episode script. Judging from the current situation, let alone 2.4 million, if he really wants to give 4.2 million or even 5 million, it will be a huge profit!"

"Boss, Mr. Wang, this is only the first season. Xia Haoyang made it clear that there will be a second season." Director Zhang's eyes were a little moist and he relaxed a little.

"No problem, we will also buy the second season. As long as the price of the script is not increased too much, according to the current situation, Director Zhang, please contact Xia Haoyang Studio. We have bought the script for the second season. You have full rights within 4 million. Make the decision! I guess this guy will take advantage of the situation to raise the price, but as long as he's not too harsh, you can just make the decision." Mr. Wang decided angrily.

. . .

"Fat man, look at this news. Shanghai TV has purchased the variety show adaptation rights of "Squid Game" for a sky-high price of 2.4 million. Then it is said that the first round of broadcasting of the TV series on a certain network platform is million per episode, which is equivalent to casual We can earn more than a billion yuan. We lost money selling the script for million yuan, so why don’t we film it ourselves?”

The people at Fat Cat Studio, who were belatedly aware of the situation, regretted that Xia Haoyang had sold the script instead of choosing his own company to invest in the production after seeing news that a TV station spent 200 million to purchase the rights to adapt a variety show.

"Fat man, when you dared to claim 2.4 million for the script, you must have seen the potential of adapting the script into a variety show or game. In that case, why don't we get the copyright of the script? We can also invest in filming the TV series ourselves. , this is obviously more profitable.”

"Yes, Fatty, why did you think of just selling the script rights at that time? Wouldn't it be more profitable for us to sell various adaptation rights now? I estimate that the second round of broadcasting fees can still sell for 100 million per episode."

"That's right, Fatty, why were you so wrong at that time?"

"Wow, you guys are all chattering, which one of you should I reply to?" Xia Haoyang smiled helplessly.

The call came into Xia Haoyang's office.

"Sister Fei, what's the matter?"

"Director Zhang from Friendship Brothers Film and Television called. He wants to buy all the script rights for the second season of "Squid Game". I would like to ask Mr. Xia if the price for the second season is still 2.4 million. Will the price increase?"

"Nonsense, the price will definitely go up. Tell Friendship Brothers Film and Television, the starting price is 5 million, no, 6 million, no, we are not selling the second season script, let them cool off." Han Xiyu said on the phone first.

"Okay, you're not like this in life. You can raise prices on the ground, but you can't go too far. Sister Fei, tell Director Zhang that I haven't written the script for the second season yet. I suggest you do it this time next year. Don't worry about filming the second season. The price will go up a bit, but you tell him, it won't be too much."

"No, Fatty, they made so much money in the first season, but we made very little. We definitely can't make it so cheap for them in the second season." Han Xiyu was anxious.

"Brothers, please be patient and calm down! I know what you want to express. I am not a philanthropist. Please believe me." Xia Haoyang stood up, pressed his hands down, and everyone became quiet.

"Has everyone watched this TV series?" Xia Haoyang asked everyone.

"That's not nonsense. Let's not mention that it's Fatty's script. Just because he's so popular, we have to pay attention. After all, we are all in the entertainment industry."

"What do you think of this script?" Xia Haoyang asked again.

"Fat man, tell me what you have to say. Do you want us to praise you for your awesome script? It's full of suspense?" Juzi said dissatisfied.

"I'm not that hypocritical. What I want to say is that this script is actually a bit bloody, and the scale is relatively large, surpassing ordinary scripts." Xia Haoyang said with a smile.

"Some of the scenes are indeed a bit bloody, and there are also some scenes that are a bit nudity." Lao Xie nodded.

"Now many children are imitating several games from this TV series, and many children are also buying costumes and helmets from the TV series, including candies or other small items in them."

"Yes, there are children in my daughter's kindergarten wearing helmets and masks that appear in TV dramas. Xia Haoyang, what exactly do you want to express." Yi Hongling, who had been silent until now, also spoke.

"What I want to say is actually very simple. No matter how attractive the plot is, no matter how wonderful you think it is, it is a fact that the entire script is violent and bloody. Now it affects children. Maybe this script will be banned by the country! Even if the script is not banned , peripheral products will at least be banned near schools. If it is our copyright to sell these things, if a school violence incident occurs one day, we may be blamed. So this is the fundamental reason why I don’t take pictures. Reason." Xia Haoyang said seriously.
