I have become top-tier, so I come to proficiency

Chapter 361 The million-dollar premiere takes off

For the drama "The Good Doctor", Nie Baogang acted as a cost coordinator for Su Mu.

The result was not as much as expected.

First, it’s Nie Baogang and his crew, and then a group of big-name actors.

The initial budget was almost 100 million.

In the end, it only cost 70 million to repair.

Of course, the main reason is that these people gave Su Mu a friendship price, especially Yoo Seung Hao, Han Junxi and Qiong Anqi.

If it were another crew, these people might add up to a huge sum.

But in the end, they voluntarily gave Su Mu a discount, so the final cost of the show did not exceed 100 million.

In addition to actors' remuneration, more of the bulk is the rental of medical equipment and facilities.

According to the amount of funds Su Mu currently has on his company's account, several hundred million is not a problem at all.

So in the end, Su Mu and Qian Jida discussed and decided that they should fund the good doctor themselves.

Of course, the goal is to make a profit.

So next, we have to see what kind of price this drama can give in the hearts of the three major platforms.

Su Mu was not polite either.

In the quotation group, I directly asked for a price of 100 million, and it was still the lowest price.

After saying this, all three families understood.

Because they know Su Mu, and based on his habits, he will definitely continue to add more money in the future.

If it were an ordinary web drama, they would definitely think the other party was crazy at this price.

But Sumu is different, and his goal is to go overseas.

If it can really become popular, then the price will be acceptable.

Not to mention anything else, with pure platform traffic plus advertising, plus online membership, you can probably make money back in minutes.

...

Kiwi Building.

In the conference room, Zheng Quan faced many senior executives of the company and said seriously: "We must grab Su Mu's drama, preferably the exclusive broadcast rights. If not, we must also get the premiere broadcast rights.

You know, this is his first drama after returning to China. If it really becomes a hit, he will reach new heights. We must seize the opportunity to cooperate with him. "

Listening to Zheng Quan's words, the people below expressed different opinions.

"Mr. Zheng, this risk is also very high. If Su Mu's drama does not explode, its reputation drops, and it fails to achieve the results we expected, then this investment will become a loss."

"We have already achieved good results with 'The Love of the Doctor' before. If we want stability, there is no need to buy a platform with the same theme now."

"After all, no one can guarantee that Su Mu will be successful. Even though he now has a certain influence internationally, this is a TV series, not a movie, and it is also a long series of almost two hours. We do not have this experience."

"Unless Su Mu can sell the copyrights of film and television dramas overseas in advance, those overseas who want to buy from him will naturally have to look at domestic data first, so this is a contradiction."

The people below all had different opinions.

The reasons all sound reasonable.

But Zheng Quan's eyes were still firm: "Are we afraid of spending money? Being able to get to where we are today depends entirely on vision and bold gaming.

If you don’t dare to place a bet when faced with such an opportunity, how can you compete with other platforms in the future?

When did we lose a bet on Sumu? "

"This……"

"..."

Zheng Quan: "We must win the copyright of Sumu no matter what. I predict that the price will eventually be set at around 1.5 million, so go and prepare."

"Yes."

...

Penguin Video Building.

Like Zheng Quan, Yu Hong was also meeting with senior officials, and there seemed to be some disagreements.

"Mr. Yu, you can buy it from him, but we need to add the broadcast rights of several overseas video stations. If we can't get it all together, we can't accept the price."

"Penguin's overseas platform is in urgent need of a work that can create ratings. This may be an opportunity."

Yu Hong thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course I know what you are talking about, but there is a problem now. The other two major platforms should be bidding to compete. I think it will be difficult to get exclusive broadcasts in the end, so overseas copyrights must be dealt with. Let’s talk separately.

I understand Sumu, if he doesn’t get a satisfactory price, it will be difficult for him to let go, but now we can’t fall behind. If the other two opponents are on board, but we are not, then who can make up for the loss? "

After finishing speaking, everyone was silent.

Yu Hong: "So, money is not the key. The real question is whether we should continue to believe in Sumu. He can continue to go up in such a period."

...

Oil depot video building.

At this moment, Zhao Zhouming has finished the meeting.

Compared to the other two people, he went quite smoothly.

Originally, the oil depot had not made any big moves in the film and television sector this year, so Su Mu's Good Doctor became their only investment project this year.

There is nothing much to say, naturally I will try my best to win it.

After walking back to his office, Zhao Zhouming took out his mobile phone and was about to send a WeChat message to Su Mu.

Something suddenly occurred to him, and with a twist of his lips, he dialed a number.

a long time,

Zheng Quan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you so free? I'm in a meeting."

Zhao Zhouming Yile: "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, nothing else. I just want to ask you, do you want to buy the copyright of Sumu this time?

Anyway, let me tell you the truth, our oil depot is definitely going to be purchased, and the money has already been prepared. Let me tell you in advance, and don’t blame me for not leaving you some room. After all, we haven’t invested in any movies or TV dramas this year. There are too many heavy bets, and we will definitely go all out for Sumu this time.

So we have prepared ‘200 million’ to get the exclusive! Ha ha. "

Zheng Quan: "..."

Zhao Zhouming; "I'm not driving up prices. I'm really eager to cooperate with Su Mu. I'm sorry."

Zheng Quan did not wait for a response.

Zhao Zhouming turned off the phone directly, feeling secretly happy.

After all these years, Zheng Quan was finally able to hold his own when it came to money.

the other side.

Zheng Quan was already blowing his beard and staring.

Originally his motto was 'throw money', but today he was ridiculed by Zhao Zhouming.     Can this be tolerated?

Isn’t it just 200 million?

I dare to smash it too!

...

...

The heat sculpting completed by The Good Doctor crew lasted more than two weeks.

During this period, everyone is waiting with great anticipation to see the scheduled highlights and trailers.

Nie Baogang has said from previous promotions that there are almost no emotional scenes in this drama.

So many people want to know what the film would be like without such scenes.

And just when the discussion reached its highest level.

The crew and officials finally started the announcement and gave a preview of the scheduled release.

[The three major platforms of Penguin, Kiwi and Oil Depot are scheduled to premiere on the 3rd of the following month. ]

As soon as the news came out, the popularity immediately skyrocketed.

Hot search on Weibo.

Hot 1: The good doctor is scheduled!

Hot 2: Su Mu’s new stills, handsome in white coat

Hot 3: Will "The Good Doctor" premiere on the three major platforms?

Hot 4: Will Dong Yuhui leave Dongfang?

Hot 5:…

Super words/'Can a good doctor transcend the rest of his life'?

Super words/'Su Mu said before that he would go abroad, but I wonder if he can keep it? ’

Comment area:

[I'm coming! It’s finally here! Su Shen’s new drama! ]

[It’s been a long time coming, I wonder what Su Mu will be able to film? It seems that there is no love scene, it is all about the hospital. This is a bit surprising, but Ning Yuyan, Qiong Anqi, such a beautiful supporting role, did not have any ambiguity? ]

[Please, this is a doctor theme, Su Shen plays the doctor! How can it be so superficial? ]

[Hurry up to next month! can not wait anymore! But it seems that the update mode is different...]

...

At this time, The Good Doctor has just announced the official release date.

Qin Yufang received the news immediately.

Although they no longer had any quarrels with Su Mu during this period, they were paying attention to Su Mu's movements all the time.

In the office, Xie Feiyu read on his mobile phone: "Mr. Qin, there is a hot search today. Su Mu's good doctor is scheduled to be released on the 1st of next month. Do you think..."

Qin Yufang shook her head, with a hint of disdain on her face: "The early stage of the film was quite popular. Qian Jida is still using the same routine as before, but I don't believe that he can make a good picture of this subject."

Xie Feiyu was a little worried: "Mr. Qin, my eyelids have been twitching these days. Do you think Su Mu can really make a long-term use of this subject?"

Qin Yufang: "Impossible! 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. I have lost for so many years. It is finally my turn to win, right?

Besides, a star cannot always be at his peak. I guess Su Mu came back from Hollywood not because he wanted to, but to a certain extent, because he had reached a bottleneck, so he came back, otherwise there would be no reason. Not in Hollywood.

Any artist, whether it is popularity, influence or talent, has a limit. When it reaches the end, it is time to turn around and walk down the mountain.

Sumu has been popular at home and abroad for so many years. It can't stay at the top forever. Maybe this time is the beginning. "

Xie Feiyu: "Well, Mr. Qin is right."

...

...

next month.

The Good Doctor officially premieres on three major platforms.

Regarding the price of copyright, all three platforms spent a lot of money.

Sumu's original budget was in the range of 1 million to 1.5 million.

However, because Zhao Zhouming provoked Zheng Quan, the last three companies directly raised their prices wildly.

In a daze, Su Mu slashed 600 million from three platforms and went home.

It’s true that I made a lot of money.

After all, this is a domestic TV series, not a movie. It is incredible to have such a copyright price.

People in the circle who knew about it were also shocked.

This is much faster than earning money from filming.

If it explodes domestically, people from overseas may really come to buy it.

On the premiere day of The Good Doctor, only two episodes were released.

The first episode is free, and the second episode requires a membership to watch.

According to the normal update rules of online dramas, most of the data in the first week will reach a peak in the first few days. After all, the early episodes are free, and then the membership recharge part comes.

It's just an update of The Good Doctor, only one episode is free, and the update is one episode a day.

Qi Chu has still been criticized and questioned by many people.

But after seeing the length and content of each episode.

The internet was completely blown away.

One night, major platforms began to experience delays in recharging VIP members.

On the short video platform, a large number of video clips flood the screen.

Fans in the comment area took off.

[Su Mu is awesome. I have never watched a TV series in this format. I started to think that one episode per day was too few, but when I looked at the duration, it turned out to be almost two hours. This is so sincere! ]

[I rely on my family. Who knows? The plot of this first episode is too explosive, right? The autistic genius played by Su Mu is so good! It exploded from the very beginning. The whole process of him rescuing the child at the airport left me stunned! My scalp is numb. ]

[I...I thought I was going to have a relationship, but it turned out not to be the case. It was all professional stuff! Family members, this is the kind of drama a doctor-themed drama should be! Su Mu was operating on that man, and my hands were shaking when I saw it. To be honest, I really didn’t expect that it would be done in such a style...]

[Sumu, I’m sorry! I admit that I spoke a little too loudly to you before, and I apologize to you~! ! ! ]

[As expected of Su Mu, it’s impossible to make a bad movie! It's so touching. The key is that the first episode is a complete story. It's so sincere that I can't help but support it! There’s no plot at all! ox]

At this moment, the Internet is completely blown up.

The Good Doctor is a drama that goes beyond everyone’s expectations of doctor dramas.

They thought they would be like Xie Feiyu and others, playing something with and without, but it turned out that there was no grinding plot at all.

Almost all of them are in hospitals, and most of the plot is about medical treatment and is very professional.

It truly magnifies the profession of a doctor, and the plot has ups and downs, as well as reversals. It is both heart-wrenching and exciting for viewers, and it is very exciting.

After updates on day two and day three.

The number of VIPs on the three platforms is still increasing, and the ratings of the entire network have not only not dropped, but have taken off and are soaring.

On the third day, the Kiwi Platform took the lead in announcing that the viewership exceeded 100 million!

Only three days!

At the same time, some experts in the medical circle have commented on the drama online.

[Cardio-cerebrovascular expert Ping Yuan v: I used to have doubts about Su Mu’s drama, but after watching this drama, just the first two episodes, I was shocked by Su Mu’s techniques. If Even though he was not filming, I thought he might be a real doctor, he is very powerful. ]

[Liu Ziming: Our hospital is leased to their crew. Su Mu personally conducted training in our hospital. I can responsibly say that he just does not have a medical license now. If necessary, Su Mu There's nothing wrong with doing the surgery yourself, I say. ]

Two comments.

It once again detonated the entire network.

[Fuck! Sumu is awesome! ]

[So Su Mu really became a doctor for this drama? Oh my God. ]

[Su! I spoke too loudly to you before and I knelt down for you. Did you see that? ]

[...]

The popularity of Good Doctor began to sweep the entire Internet.

At this moment, in the office of Tianxing Media.

Qin Yufang and Xie Feiyu were sitting on the sofa, with expressions on their faces and saying nothing.

In front of them, The Good Doctor, which has been updated to its fourth episode, is playing.

Xie Feiyu: "Mr. Qin, didn't you say you don't want to be a member?"

Qin Yufang: "Shut up..."
