Chapter 175 Overseas Copyright
At present, all departments of Weidu Entertainment are very busy.
Following the animation of "The Four Six Billion" season 4, the second season of "The Evolution of 4.6 billion entourage" has also been completed.
This animation has a strong sense of popular science in the first season, but it already has a little bit of a transformation into science fiction later on.
And in the second season, especially at the end of the second season, it became even more obvious.
At present, the business department is operating this film.
With experience in cooperation in the past, Weidu Entertainment has priority to contact Jiang Anhong of CCTV.
In the estimate, the problem should not be too big. After all, with the results of the previous season, the second season will not be worse.
The last time it was Tang Zhiqi who came to Shangjing to deal with it, and this time it was still the same.
After meeting, Jiang Anhong said while greeting Tang Zhiqi that when "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" was released, he actually wanted to put some effort into pushing the stage to buy the drama. However, he was in charge of the two channels of children, science and education, and the comprehensive channel had little say. Moreover, CCTV purchased the drama, but it was not just about watching the future popularity of the TV series, and there were still many things to consider, so it was a pity that it failed.
Regardless of whether Jiang Anhong's words were sincere or not, at least the attitude he put forward fully demonstrated his kindness.
This is very basic in cooperation.
Soon, the film was directly reviewed and the broadcasting matters on the Children's Channel and Science Popularization Channel were decided.
As for the price, it is much higher than in the first season.
But the so-called much higher is actually not much higher. At best, it only has a few millions of profits. This little money is no longer enough to make Weidu Entertainment particularly concerned.
The reason why we continue to go to TV stations is just to spread the works through this more popular medium and strengthen the influence of the works. At the same time, cartoons such as CCTV are on TV stations, so the policy benefits in various aspects that can be obtained will become smoother in the future.
The simplest and most crude thing is the subsidy for domestic animation. In this regard, Jiang Anhong also put in his efforts to help, otherwise Weidu Entertainment would not sell animations at a low price.
With this subsidy and the price of the TV station, it was a barely profitable from nearly 10 million yuan.
It seems not much, but it is quite good to have such a profit. The main purpose of selling it to CCTV is not to seek out the direct profit, but to expand the influence of IP through this platform and bring more value to other derivative copyrights.
As for online playback copyright, the revenue situation is much more impressive than that of TV broadcasts.
The 20-episode "Four Sixteen Billion" has a exclusive online broadcast copyright that was sold directly to 30 million. Bilibili and Penguin Video jointly purchased it.
Since its establishment, Dimension Entertainment has cooperated with these two parties relatively closely, especially Penguin Video.
In addition, other derivative copyrights for this work have also come to renew, re-licensing, or there is a possibility of further expansion.
Especially for toys and games.
Weidu Entertainment has released the news that the second season will be aired. According to Ye Jiayi's budget, as long as the work performance is still up to standard, the company will earn about 50 million yuan through the surrounding derivative copyright in the next year.
Total total, the total revenue of the second season of the work "The Evolutionary Four Sixteen Billion Extraordinary" is estimated to be over 100 million, of which the big head is in the development of derivative copyrights.
This is actually quite amazing.
Of course, as an animation work, the money-making ability of "The Evolutionary Forty-Six Billion Extra" is far inferior to "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", but there is also a huge gap in size between the two.
However, the profits of "Four Six Billion Deco" are long-term and take longer to recover.
Speaking of long-term revenue, a month ago, the overseas copyright of the first season of "4.6 billion qualifiers" was also operated. At the same time, the plan for the second season was also agreed to be released, which can be exchanged for about two or three million US dollars in total, which is not bad. If the playback effect of this work is also very good overseas, then there will be something to do in the development of overseas derivative copyrights.
Overseas copyright development is still an aspect that Weidu Entertainment has not been exposed to, but Ye Jiayi has great ambitions. Weidu Entertainment has tried to operate its own works independently, which is indeed much more tiring than giving it to others, but the benefits are also greater and more controllable.
When it comes to overseas copyright operation, the same is true.
At a very early age, some overseas copyright holders came to visit Weidu Entertainment, hoping to introduce several of their animation works.
The price given is not high or low, but Ye Jiayi did not sell it, at least the main target markets did not sell it.
Now, Dimension Entertainment has established its own branches in the two markets of Japan and Southeast Asia.
There are not many people in the two branches, just a few kittens, and their main job is to be responsible for copyright operation abroad.
Their work is fruitful. The playback rights of "Special Events Task Force" and "Four Six Billion Extraordinary" have been sold and operated in a very exciting way.
The "Task Team" is not bad, but it only has a certain market in Southeast Asia. Since the content is a bit high-end and weird, it is not easy to export. It is only in some individual countries, such as South Vietnam, whose culture is similar to China, and the overall economy and culture are more dependent on China, so it is more convenient to export.
For example, when I went to Japan, this work was basically cold and no operators liked it.
But the situation of the work "The Evolutionary Forty-Six Billion Extraordinary" is different. The first film with popular science concepts is easy to sell in any country, and because of its wide audience, it has indeed achieved some good broadcast results.
In addition to animation, Weidu Entertainment focuses on operating overseas copyrighted works, which is actually "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".
The quality of the work "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" is naturally without any problem. Although the operation model is not the best seasonal broadcast of American dramas, the content of forty-six episodes, the quality of the forty-six episodes will not be worse than that of American dramas.
Due to world background and cultural factors, it may be difficult for "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" to introduce places like Europe and the United States.
Therefore, all the copyrights in Europe and the United States, Weidu Entertainment, were sold in an agency manner, and the price was not particularly high, and it was also good to have a little mosquito meat.
However, in the entire East Asian sector, the sign "Three Kingdoms" is still very useful.
