Chapter 130

The idea is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Cultural export sounds nice, but that's just a prospect.

Take the first threshold for example—passing through filming well-known film and television dramas, exporting through film and television dramas, and thereby achieving the export of one's own image.

This point alone is extremely difficult.

Those who can achieve this are either those whose subject matter is very suitable for export and is also a scheduled hit for the season, which can then be achieved.

Or they have won some kind of award internationally, and then other countries will talk about imports and so on.

Sui Lingfang saw Seeing Jin Li's skeptical gaze, raised her eyebrows, and said confidently:

"Don't think I'm just talking nonsense; I have certain factual grounds for saying this.

Take the drama "Ruyi Langjun" for example; according to the inside information I received, they are already talking about the export."

Seeing Jin Li was truly surprised when she heard this.

"Didn't it just have its grand finale the day before yesterday? Is it already time to talk about export copyrights so quickly?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "It's not considered fast anymore; on the contrary, I even think it's a bit slow.

This drama had the momentum of a hit from the moment it started airing, and the segment where Princess Liu Ci turned dark in the middle of the broadcast directly made it a hit.

Many video website uploaders clipped the Liu Ci you played to use as famous scenes interspersed in various film and television dramas.

Some even specifically made special clips for the character Liu Ci, crowning you as the 'Number One Beautiful, Strong, and Pitiful Person'."

And "Ruyi Langjun" is a costume drama, which is very suitable for export; at that time, I estimate that copyright holders had already come knocking to talk about imports.

It's just that after that, no news came out, and I only received some wind of it when "Ruyi Langjun" concluded.

I plan to find a time to call the director to chat and see how many countries it's being exported to, as well as the set time for the export, so we can quickly finish building your overseas personal site."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a moment and said: "No need to find a time, I'll call and ask now."

She took out her phone and dialed Li Dao's number directly.

The "Ruyi Langjun" production team was holding a meeting at this time.

Other film and television production teams basically disappear after the drama goes online; there's nothing left for them to do.

After all, the production team only needs to produce the film and television drama, obtain a license to go online, and at most work part-time on post-promotion, and then there's nothing to do.

But the "Ruyi Langjun" production team is different.

Originally, after "Ruyi Langjun" was officially launched on major platforms, their team disbanded.

But after the TV drama was halfway through, the production team was recalled by the director to discuss the export of "Ruyi Langjun" together.

The cause of the incident was that Country T saw that "Ruyi Langjun" had such high popularity domestically, and it was also a costume drama.

And costume dramas have always been very popular in Country T, so they came over to talk about matters related to export.

Li Dao was approached, and upon hearing it was about copyright import to other countries, he was definitely happy!

The preliminary cooperation intention had long been set, but for a film and television drama to be successfully exported, the film still needs overall modifications.

Since it's being exported, the translated subtitles must also be changed to the relevant country's language, right?

If the subtitles are changed, can we coordinate to make a version in another country's language?

Do we need to find overseas voice actors?

Since the subtitles and language are all taken care of, can we add some more TV drama clips?

Domestically, in order to cooperate with censorship, some controversial clips were deleted.

But the foreign censorship system isn't that strict!

Can the "Ruyi Langjun" production team satisfy the needs of some overseas fans and show them an uncensored version?

There were too many things to consider and discuss, and Li Dao alone couldn't solve them, so he simply recalled the entire production team.

China's film and television industry is thriving, and the country's international popularity is also high; once it becomes a hit domestically, talking about export projects is very easy.

Look, they had just finished working overtime to finish the export version for Country T, and Country A also came knocking, asking if it could be imported.

At the beginning, Li Dao was a bit stunned when Country A came knocking.

In his impression, Country A wasn't keen on costume dramas; they preferred exporting blockbuster movies.

But since the export import came knocking, it would be a waste not to take it!

So Li Dao went to talk to the relevant person in charge from Country A about copyright import and other matters.

With the example set by Country T before, this negotiation went very smoothly; it only took one day to settle it.

Country A was settled, and as a result, Country H came, and several other countries also came knocking.

This gave Li Dao a kind of illusion for a moment; was he filming some internationally renowned blockbuster?

Did this win some award, or receive some honor?

"Something's not right, it feels very wrong, go check, what kind of dog shit luck did we step on?"

"Ruyi Langjun" had only been finished for two days, and Li Wenguang had negotiated four export projects in a row; now that he was finished and came over, he was also a bit panicked.

Everyone checked back and forth, and finally traced it back to "Leisurely Slow Life".

Just at this time, Seeing Jin Li called, and Li Dao answered immediately.

Seeing Jin Li asked: "Director, is "Ruyi Langjun" being exported overseas? Can I know the exact export time? My company wants to coordinate with my overseas personal site to do some promotion."

Li Dao pondered for a while and said: "Currently there are several export countries in talks, how about this, when one is finished, I'll find someone to connect with your company, and you guys will know the specific time."

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but be stunned: "Wait, you mean several countries? Is "Ruyi Langjun" that popular, directly popular abroad?"

Li Dao: "At the beginning, only Country T came to talk, which is normal, Country T really likes our country's costume dramas.

But after "Ruyi Langjun" finished airing, several countries came one after another; that's thanks to "Leisurely Slow Life", you guys went viral on Instagram, and many netizens started paying attention to you.

Some netizens knew you had a hit drama airing and all came looking for resources to watch it!

I also just discovered it; "Ruyi Langjun" has unknowingly achieved high dissemination abroad, which is why many countries thought of coming to import the genuine version."

Li Dao couldn't help but smile when he said this: "After all that, the wool comes from the sheep; I have to thank you for bringing overseas popularity to "Ruyi Langjun"."

Seeing Jin Li also smiled: "Although I brought the popularity, if the quality of "Ruyi Langjun" wasn't good, no one would want to chase after it; this is the result of our joint efforts."

After hanging up the phone, Seeing Jin Li talked to Sui Lingfang about this matter.

By this time, she had to admit that Fang Jie's eye for things was still very accurate.

Maybe relying on this drama "Ruyi Langjun", she could really lock down quite a few fans.

But she also gave a preventive shot in advance.

"This drama was a hit in every aspect, which exceeded everyone's expectations, but it doesn't mean my next drama will also be a hit.

In case the popularity of subsequent works doesn't keep up, I'm afraid it will be a joy in vain."

Regarding this, Sui Lingfang was also prepared.

"Building an overseas personal site is just a preparation; it doesn't necessarily have to achieve any results, just treat it as a casual move for the next step.

Mainly because Pink Girls' overseas popularity is there, it's a pity to leave it alone.

Before, your health wasn't good, and you didn't run many announcements, so we didn't bother.

Now that your health is better, the company will go and do it; you don't need to feel pressure."

Since Fang Jie said so, Seeing Jin Li didn't think otherwise.

What thoughts could she have? Anyway, she didn't need to worry about these things.

Not knowing what she thought of, she mentioned: "When the company buys personal sites from overseas fans, help me ask if the overseas personal sites of other members are for sale as well."

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Okay."

She understood Seeing Jin Li's thoughts; if they were willing to sell, Seeing Jin Li probably wanted to buy them all together.

After Li Dao finished talking to Seeing Jin Li, he also called Qiu Qiwen and Chen Geng to tell them about the export overseas.

Li Dao exhorted: "After this news spreads, there might be reporters coming for interviews; you all need to be prepared."

Chen Geng and Qiu Qiwen naturally had no problems.

The next few days were just ordinary promotion days.

Ordinary for Seeing Jin Li, but it could be called a big event for the "Ruyi Langjun" production team.

After the copyright import communication was finished, the production team immediately released the news that "Ruyi Langjun" was exported to five overseas countries, which caused a discussion among netizens and even made it to a high-ranking trending topic.

【Strong and invincible! This is the first costume idol drama this year to officially announce export overseas, and it exported to five countries at once, too strong!】

【It's not like film and television dramas haven't been exported overseas before, but announcing export to five countries at once is quite rare, it's indeed very strong~】

【I haven't watched "Ruyi Langjun" yet, although it's on the trending topics every week, is it really that good?】

【Those who haven't watched "Ruyi Langjun" can go to Bilibili first to watch the relevant film and television cuts, and then decide whether to start watching.】

When March Sky and the others saw this trending topic, they suddenly realized that "Ruyi Langjun" had already concluded.

Except for watching the first and second episodes while recording the show, they didn't continue watching because their schedule and announcements were too tight.

This time, taking advantage of some free time, Chen Lin made up for the episodes in the villa.

She likes to be distracted when watching TV; the TV is playing "Ruyi Langjun", but her phone is switched to games and comics.

After finishing a game, she would open WeChat to see if anyone had sent her a message.

If she couldn't wait for a message, Chen Lin would take the initiative to send messages to others and just wait for other people's replies.

Like this, she basically didn't watch the plot much.

On the contrary, Yan Xingdong, Luo Yi, and Gu Cheng, who were also active in the villa, didn't really want to watch it, but were forced to catch up on all the episodes.

After finishing the finale, Luo Yi opened Bilibili and immediately brushed past the video push cuts related to Princess Liu Ci.

Have to say, big data always understands you better.

He clicked on them to check at random and found that each cut had over 200,000 views, and some popular ones even reached millions!

Until this moment, Luo Yi, who was busy running announcements all day, truly felt the explosive popularity of "Ruyi Langjun".

He couldn't help but say: "At the start of the broadcast, it could only be said to be good; it reached the peak of ratings after Liu Ci turned dark in the middle, and maintained it until the end.

I originally thought the popularity would drop after this drama concluded, but recently it announced the news of export overseas, and the popularity is even higher than when it was still airing."

Yan Xingdong threw him a bottle of water and sighed: "This luck, you can't envy it!"

He thought for a moment and said: "I had an impression of this drama "Ruyi Langjun" before it started filming.

It seems that raising investment didn't go very smoothly; they agreed to many conditions from advertisers before they raised enough funds.

And the cast wasn't good either; whether it was Qiu Qiwen or Chen Geng, neither had anything to do with acting, among which Chen Geng had no fame, and Qiu Qiwen was just a variety show personality.

Later Seeing Jin Li joined, but Seeing Jin Li also had nothing to do with acting; who knew that such a pieced-together team would actually turn into a hit drama."

Gu Cheng picked up his tablet, looking at the cuts related to Princess Liu Ci, and said thoughtfully:

"It still has to be Seeing Jin Li acting well; the most popular character in this drama is the princess, and the script is also written well; the actors and the script complement each other."

Yan Xingdong glanced at the tablet.

The tablet was full of cuts related to Seeing Jin Li—

【The ceiling of beautiful, strong, and pitiful, the princess's counterattack!】

【In the end, it was this world that failed her!】

【Trapped by love, crazy for love, there is no more Liu Ci in this world!】

Yan Xingdong sighed again, "Although Seeing Jin Li told us that the overseas import of "Ruyi Langjun" ate the dividends of "Leisurely Slow Life", it is also because the popularity of this drama is strong enough to achieve the five-country import plan."

Thinking of this, he asked curiously: "I wonder if "Ruyi Langjun" will participate in the year-end TV drama selection; do you guys think it's possible to win one or two awards?"

A flash of thought crossed Gu Cheng's eyes, "Don't say that, it's really possible."

Not only was March Sky discussing this drama, but many people in the industry were also discussing it.

The success of "Ruyi Langjun" has a lot of contingency; when it first went online, it wasn't treated as a big hit drama.

On the contrary, it relied on the plot continuously pushing into an explosion, making the popularity soar layer by layer.

And at the same time, even after it concluded, it still maintained its popularity for a week without decreasing.

This drama can also send a trend to the industry: tell a good story, film a good script, find good actors!

Although Qiu Qiwen and Seeing Jin Li are traffic stars, in this drama, their identity as actors directly overshadowed their identity as stars.

The industry discussion about the two of them was also all about their acting skills.

Relying on this drama "Ruyi Langjun", Seeing Jin Li and Qiu Qiwen have already successfully stepped into the entertainment industry.

With the subsequent efforts after "Ruyi Langjun" concluded, more scripts were looking for Seeing Jin Li.

But at this time, Sui Lingfang didn't struggle.

Because she received a definite reply from Director Zhong Wentai that the script had been modified and could start filming in July.

This is considered very good news!

At the same time, there was another piece of news that stimulated Sui Lingfang even more, and that is—

Seeing Jin Li was set as the heroine of the script "Dream Builder", He Hui!

When Sui Lingfang received this news on WeChat, she still couldn't recover for a while, blinked several times, and only then did she completely see this information clearly.

She subconsciously wanted to call to confirm, but stopped just as she was about to press the "dial button".

At this time, where is confirmation important?

What's important is to acknowledge it quickly!

What is there to confirm!

Sui Lingfang immediately replied to Director Zhong Wentai's WeChat—

【Received, Seeing Jin Li has a schedule at any time!】
