Chapter 83: Is foreigners' money that easy to earn?
Upon learning from his subordinates that the demand from his website's subscribers to purchase the work "Bleach" had become increasingly strong.
And it was a film and television drama produced by the Dragon Country.
Driven by curiosity, Reed also went to watch it.
He had also once thought about buying Dragon Country film and television works.
But he had watched some of the most popular major dramas in the Dragon Country.
However, he expressed... he couldn't understand them.
There haven't been many excellent domestic works in recent years.
Even if one browses through the masterpieces from before the traffic era, those Wu Xia or Xianxia works full of Dragon Country flavor—how could foreigners understand them?
If nothing else, just the translation alone probably couldn't convey that flavor.
Originally, Reed had his eyes on a Dragon Country domestic drama called "Day and Night."
For foreigners, modern suspense is definitely much easier to understand than things like Wu Xia or Xianxia.
However, after finishing "Bleach," he was stunned.
The settings of Soul Reapers, Hollows, and Soul Burials established in the first episode.
Already made Reed marvel at Xu Feng's unconstrained creativity.
And the zero-barrier intense combat made him, an old man nearing sixty, feel his blood boiling.
But what attracted him most was the super plot twist from the mid-to-late stage.
When he saw Hinamori Momo reunite with the resurrected Aizen, and the atmosphere became increasingly warm.
Aizen suddenly said something heartfelt to Hinamori Momo.
This old comrade nearing 60 was so scared he nearly lost control of his bladder.
In the end, he forced himself to endure the urge to urinate and chased it all the way to the finale.
And then... he went to change into a new pair of pants.
Poor foreigner, not to mention knowing how to say "WTF," Reed, having finished the entire series, simply didn't know what words to use to describe this work.
Even though their Lighthouse Country's superhero movies were slaughtering the global market.
Reed couldn't find a boss more badass than Aizen.
At this moment, only two words remained in Reed's mind—
"Buy it!"
"How much does Mr. Reed intend to spend to buy the broadcasting rights for 'Bleach'?"
Faced with Reed's praise, Xu Feng wasn't particularly moved; the only thing he cared about was how much money this foreigner could give.
"One hundred million $!"
Reed said, showing his wealth.
It must be said that once this news came out, it would definitely cause a huge sensation within the Dragon Country.
Netflix's first purchase of a domestic drama could set such a terrifying record.
"At this price, I think it can only buy the 'Soul Society Arc'."
However, Xu Feng wasn't intimidated by Reed's offer at all; after pondering for two seconds, he said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, Reed's brows furrowed tightly.
Ever since he made up his mind to buy the overseas broadcasting rights for "Bleach."
Reed had been paying attention to news about Xu Feng.
He also knew that the work Xu Feng was currently filming was not the second season of "Bleach," but another new work.
Because the film city serving as the shooting location for the second season of "Bleach" was still under construction.
The second part... it seemed to be called "Arrancar Arc," right? Reed remembered that was the name.
After a brief silence, Reed spoke again:
"Mr. Xu, I would like to ask, how much more of the 'Bleach' series can be filmed?"
"The current plan is the 'Arrancar Arc' and the 'Fake Karakura Town Arc'; I estimate we can film at least fifty more episodes."
Xu Feng said with a faint smile.
Seeing this expression, Reed felt as if that creepy big villain Aizen Sosuke from the screen was sitting right in front of him.
After several minutes of silence, Reed slowly raised four fingers.
Sitting beside Xu Feng, Da Meiyuan, who was making a cameo as a secretary, was already scared silly.
The reason she was here was that Xu Feng had traveled all the way from New York to California, and he probably wouldn't be returning to New York tonight.
Being alone over here was too lonely, so he had brought Gao Yuanyuan along under the pretext of going for a stroll.
However, Xu Feng himself was also stunned for a moment; they all say that when foreigners go to the Dragon Country, it's equivalent to mastering the traffic password, and money is super easy to earn.
Does it mean that now that he, an outsider who is a foreigner to the Lighthouse Country, has come here, earning money is also this simple?!
"I have one more condition for offering such a price, Mr. Xu,"
Reed said in a deep voice:
"We want to invest in the last two seasons of your 'Bleach' and obtain their exclusive broadcasting rights."
Reed had also been coveting such a big cake as the Dragon Country market for a long time.
However, unfortunately, entering the Dragon Country's film and television broadcasting platform market was truly quite difficult.
This big cake was basically carved up by platforms like Penguin and Kiwi.
If he wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, he had to get a masterpiece with a dominant status.
And in Reed's view, "Bleach" had that potential.
Want to watch the last two seasons of "Bleach"?
Fine, then obediently come to our Netflix to sign up for a membership.
This was the plan Reed had made.
And upon hearing this condition proposed by Reed, the flash of excitement that had just appeared in Xu Feng's eyes was instantly replaced by calmness.
Exclusive broadcasting rights were no small matter.
Like the Xu Feng of his past life, who used to be accustomed to watching anime on Bilibili, but later on, Bilibili didn't buy many of them.
He would either be too lazy to watch them or just see them on a cloud drive.
Even if Xu Feng had confidence in "Bleach," asking so many Dragon Country viewers to transfer to a foreign website they didn't understand to chase the drama.
The risk was too great.
For a moment, both sides fell silent.
