Friends in China can’t wait for it!

Clicking on the Japanese version of "Midnight Diner", the beginning is still familiar. Although the scene has been changed, the shooting method has not been changed, but the night scene has been changed from Beijing to Tokyo.

The familiar guitar melody is still the familiar singing voice, but the opening song has become a Japanese cover, and it is still sung by Qiao Zhiguo.

But only the beginning is familiar, the actors have changed, the scenes have changed, and the story has also changed.

The lead actor is a Japanese actor, but his image can be seen as imitating Qiao Zhiguo.

Especially the scar on his face, which is the same as Qiao Zhiguo's scar in the late-night cafeteria.

The clothes he wore were different from those of Qiao Zhiguo, and the scene was changed to a Japanese izakaya. This change was appreciated by many people.

Exporting copyright overseas is not a simple remake, but a story that needs to be integrated into other countries’ cultural stories based on their national conditions and culture.

This is achieved in the Japanese version of "Midnight Diner".

This is true whether it is scenes, food, or stories.

At the beginning of the show, the dancer appeared. When the scene of the dancer dancing appeared, barrages flew all over the place.

"Damn it, Teacher Qiao is so dirty."

"Teacher Qiao is going to Japan to drive."

"This photographer is not good, so I have to deduct money."

"Yeah, let's take a frontal shot."

Fans couldn't help but complain. At the same time, they couldn't help but lament that the scale of Japan is still large, and the scale of the Chinese version is simply not good enough.

It's more than 20 minutes. Compared to the 45 minutes of the Chinese version, the Japanese version seems a bit short and weak.

However, the quality is still excellent. Compared with the Chinese version, it has a different taste. Although the taste is different, the quality is still very good.

"It's beautiful. Teacher Qiao is so awesome."

"Teacher Qiao, hurry back to China to film a new TV series and stop wandering in Japan."

"Yes, looking forward to the new drama"

"Hey, as a fan of Teacher Qiao, I feel tired and there are too many things I want Teacher Qiao to do."

"I want to listen to new songs, watch new anime, watch new documentaries, watch new TV series, watch new variety shows..."

"Teacher Qiao hasn't played games live for a long time, and he's becoming less and less engaged in his job."

Instead of doing his job properly, Qiao Zhiguo does too many things. He tries everything, but never does anything for a long time. The most annoying thing is that no matter what works, the quality is very good, and fans will never forget him.

Good reviews, and the Japanese version is also good.

With such quality, people in the industry no longer dare to question Qiao Zhiguo's ability.

This old monster from a wild background really cannot be seen through ordinary people's eyes.

The director is self-taught, the editor is self-taught, acting, writing songs, singing, drawing comics...

This thing is all self-taught.

There are videos to prove it. When Qiao Zhiguo first debuted, he was not very good at making food videos, and his editing techniques were terrible.

Looking at it now, whether it is filming food videos or TV series, he is extremely skilled. This shows that the old man has learned a lot in this year.

In the eyes of fans, behind the superficial beauty is hard work.

Just like Qiao Zhiguo's figure, he insists on working out every day. Looking at Qiao Zhiguo's figure, it is perfect. This kind of perseverance alone is not something ordinary people can possess.

Self-disciplined people are the most terrifying. This is also a saying that Qiao Zhiguo's fans often joke about.

The Japanese version of "Midnight Diner" was officially aired, and it also achieved a double success in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings in Japan, and its click-through rate on video websites is also gradually increasing.

It’s already great that a Chinese IP can do this in Japan.

Such a reputation proves one thing. That is, good works will always be good no matter where they are received.

The audience's vision is very similar. No matter how hard you try, a bad movie will never get better, but a good movie will still be a good movie even if it goes abroad!

Japan, the conference room of Shiguo Entertainment Branch. Oda Ueno presided over the meeting. "Midnight Diner" has been broadcast on Fuji TV, and the filming of the entire TV series is about to be completed.

Qiao Zhiguo's shooting speed was very fast. One episode was shot in two days, which stunned these people.

Shooting is fast, broadcasting is slow. For the Japanese branch of Zhiguo Entertainment, what they have to do is to maintain the IP of "Midnight Diner" in Japan.

In addition, that is to cultivate your own team and expand your own business. You cannot just rely on Qiao Zhiguo.

"Everyone, Late Night Canteen is just a trial project for our Zhiguo Entertainment. Judging from various data, the performance is very good. The president is also very satisfied. Our next work is to expand the company's business."

Oda Ueno is very serious. Qiao Zhiguo is the chairman, and Oda Ueno is the president of Zhiguo Entertainment Japan Branch.

"This is the script given to me by the president. I have already read it. Please read it carefully. This is our next work."

Oda Ueno asked his assistant to distribute the printed scripts.

"Midnight Diner" has been released. According to the broadcasting rules of Japanese dramas, "Midnight Diner" is updated weekly and it takes ten weeks to complete the broadcast.

It is impossible for Zhiguo Entertainment to wait for this drama to be completed before making further plans.

For the new work, Qiao Zhiguo only provides the script and serves as the screenwriter. Directors and actors need to be found by Oda Ueno and others.

The second work is still a classic.

"The Lonely Gourmet" is also a food drama.

In another time and space, this drama was adapted from a comic book. Now, Qiao Zhiguo has also omitted this link and directly filmed a film and television drama.

"Late Night Diner" and "The Lonely Gourmet", these two dramas are enough to keep the film and television department of the current Zhiguo Entertainment Japan branch busy.

The shooting mode of Japanese dramas is similar to that of American dramas. They are filmed while broadcasting. After shooting two or three episodes, they can be released.

"The Lonely Gourmet" is now under project, just in time to be broadcast in the spring, which is also in line with Japanese habits.

Most Japanese TV dramas are broadcast according to the four seasons.

Most Japanese dramas have twelve episodes in a season.

After the broadcast is over, other dramas will follow.

Five seasons of "Late Night Diner", a total of fifty episodes.

Eight seasons of "Lonely Gourmet", a total of 96 episodes.

These two TV series alone are enough to keep the Japanese branch of Zhiguo Entertainment busy for the time being. If run well, these two TV series alone can make the Japanese branch make a lot of money.

As for other business, we will take our time after these two dramas develop.

The most important thing for Qiao Zhiguo is scripts. There are many scripts in the system. Just getting a few good-quality scripts is enough for the company.

Let go, Qiao Zhiguo let go, and in addition to providing the script, let the people in the branch start tossing around.

The same is true at China Headquarters.

For example, the second season of "A String of Life" has been completed.

In the third season, Qiao Zhiguo basically let go.

Regardless of whether you ask or not, leave it all to the people in the company. Where are the first and second seasons? The IP’s reputation is already well known.

In this time and space, there are many people who can tell stories, as well as good screenwriters.

United States, Amazon Distribution Department, Lawrence looked at the sample book in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

During this time, Lawrence was not idle either.

After the contract for "The Hunger Games" was signed, they also officially entered the publishing stage.

Amazon has a complete system, including its own sales platform, its own publishing house, and its own cooperative publishing houses.

They checked, typeset and printed Qiao Zhiguo's manuscripts.

The paper books are very exquisitely produced, and there are many full-color illustrations inside.

Because Qiao Zhiguo is a newcomer, the price of a single book is not expensive.

A single copy is priced at US$18, which is not high in the United States.

As for Qiao Zhiguo's royalties, it's very interesting.

The royalties that Qiao Zhiguo and Lawrence discussed were gambling royalties.

For sales of no more than one million, the royalty rate is only 5%.

Above one million, the royalty is 10%.

For more than three million, the royalty is 15%.

For more than five million, the royalty is 20%.

For more than 10 million, the royalty is 25%.

Twenty-five percent is also a capped royalty rate. In other words, if the total sales of Qiao Zhiguo's book exceed 10 million copies, Qiao Zhiguo can get 25% of the royalties.

This kind of bet is very common, and Amazon also likes this kind of bet. Because no matter how you bet, Amazon will make money. If Qiao Zhiguo's book really reaches 10 million copies in global sales, 25%

Amazon is also willing to pay royalties.
