On the dim blue sea outside San Lucas, huge yachts guarded by several surrounding ships are quietly moored. It is already past four o'clock in the afternoon. The sun is no longer so fierce and the wind is also suitable for sunbathing.

On the top terrace of the yacht, Simon leaned lazily on the large recliner, two identical girls next to each other, real twins, the two girls have a very classic surname, Yuchi, Yuchi Xiyue, and Yuchi Chenxing, all have very gentle oval faces, and big eyes that will make people like at a glance.

In this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the two girls play Mei Jian and Zhu Jian respectively. It is the same as before. They are mainly plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum quadruplets in the original work. It is difficult to find in reality. It is not that there are no quadruplets, but that they are suitable for the age and actors and can match the four characters, and the probability is basically zero.

After all, it's a small character, so of course you don't have to be serious.

Occasionally, I ate the fruits sent by the two girls beside me. Not far away, someone was playing the piano and dancing. The piano was a Chinese guqin, so the same was true for dancing.

Both performers are actresses in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this time.

Speaking of which movie is the most beautiful in Jin Yong's drama? Perhaps many people think of "The Deer and the Cauldron" at the first time. In fact, it is not the most, of course, the "The Legend of the Dragon and the Dragon" is of course the "Tianlong and the Eight Parts". Not to mention the others, it is just the lineage of the Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak, which is the entire nine heavens and nine parts.

All right.

As for Simon, whether it is Ren Yingying in "The Swordsman" or Huang Feixia in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he is actually not very catching a cold. His most preferred one is the group around Prince Duan in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Um.

Anyway, I explained it some time ago, and the result was that what should not come was all sent here this time, a large group of Meng Gu, big and small, even Meng Gu, who had few lines in the whole drama, had more than twenty.

A certain girl is too capable, but she is not very good.

Simon came here and just looked at some women's expressions and probably understood.

The forced melon... Although it is actually quite sweet, there is no need for Simon.

Anyway, I just thought it was an invitation to visit North America for a few days.

So after flying over on Friday night, I sifted a little. Those who were willing to rest early in the villa area on the top of the mountain went to rest. Those who were willing to go to the petal swimming pool below to attend party entertainment, came together. I also asked Carmen Cath, who was here to announce the news, avoiding the two minions of the Jiangshanwu sisters who Chen Qing sent him again. After all, they would definitely be "willed".

Then about half of the women came over.

The wishes take the bait.

After getting hooked, Simon certainly won't be polite.

They were drowsy while watching the piano and dancing, and laughter came. Soon, two women, one big and one small, appeared on the gangway. Fu Daji and Jin Daji also participated in the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", playing the role of Qin Hongmian, who hated Duan Zhengchun because of love. Compared with the other combinations, they were definitely the most similar pair.

The two women were wearing two sexy swimsuits with exactly the same style but one red and one green. When they walked here, they immediately came over together and squeezed the two girls away.

Jin Daji snatched the fruit plate and continued to feed the man fruit. She came over with a smile and ate a piece with Simon before saying, "Simon, diving is so exciting, and the water here is so beautiful."

Simon hugged the couple next to him again and continued to play, smiling and said in Chinese: "If you like it, you can come and play it frequently in the future."

Jin Daji's eyes immediately lit up, and she rubbed her body over and rubbed her: "Is that OK?"

Simon nodded: "Of course."

Fu Daji on the other side was not deceived by the man's sweet words. Her cool body was pressed against Simon's other side, her chin was placed on his shoulder, and she also took a piece of fruit to eat with the man. While continuing, she said, "Simon, how can we come here? This is Mexico, and it's so far from China."

Jin Daji also immediately reacted, and there was a little resentment in her eyes and said, "Simon, can you help us to develop in the United States?"

When Fu Daji said this, he immediately looked hopeful.

Simon slid his hand up and grabbed Jin Daji's chin and pinched: "Come to the United States, what can you do?"

Jin Daji turned her head in a charming way and rubbed her hand in the man's palm: "I've been your lover, okay?" As she said that, she felt that her chips might not be enough, so she immediately became lucky and signaled to the other side: "And Sister Fu, let's go together."

When Fu Daji heard Jin Daji say this, his face showed a little more shame, but his eyes were still full of expectations.

Simon twisted Jin Daji's head beside him and looked at him, leaned forward and kissed him, and smiled and said, "It's okay to be my woman in China, but forget it in the United States. It's actually not good here at all."

Jin Daji was about to continue acting coquettishly, but after a dance there, Simon waved to the dancing woman, and pushed Jin Daji beside him: "Don't you dance too, go and dance one, let me see."

Jin Daji got up obediently and took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to get some tricks: "Simon, I danced well, are there any rewards?"

Simon shook his head directly: "No."

Jin Daji pouted, but stood up and walked towards the area next to the railing as a small stage.

Another woman also came to Simon.

Unlike Dajin Daji's swimsuit, the woman wore a blue and white gradient silk classical dress, but it was also quite light and had a pair of white jade feet naked.

This is a big sweet boy.

It was the beauty who later had the same name as Xiao Shuangzi, who created a brand new currency unit, who once played the roles of Hu Sanniang and Queen Wang in history.

Speaking of which, in the CCTV version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 2003, Da Shuangzi also played the role of Yu Po, but no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the word "po", which is very eye-catching. Da Shuangzi's role this time is not big, Li Qiushui, the junior sister of Tonglao Tianshan, is still quite marginal, and her character image is much better than the sword servant of Lingjiu Palace.

Simon did not pay special attention to Dashuangzi's career trajectory in this time and space, but it is also possible to imagine that it would not be very good if he only looked at the roles he won in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Of course, Simon didn't mean to change anything deliberately.

Even if it is a great beauty, Simon can't pay attention to the big beauty and little beauties that come this time. If it weren't for a currency unit with "Yi Shuang" equal to 160 million "Yi Shuang" and 2.08 million in one day, Simon wouldn't even pay a little special attention to Da Shuangzi.

Compared to having had contact with Simon, Daji, who was very high in China, was inevitably more confident. Dashuangzi was obviously much more restrained by Simon. She was summoned by a man and leaned forward gently. Her eyes were filled with some more obvious hope than Jin Daji, but she was smart and did not speak rashly.

After accompanying him to enjoy the classical dance that Jin Daji danced directly in a bikini for a while, Da Shuangzi, who has a deep dance skills, couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, but of course she wouldn't show anything. After hesitating for a while, she finally found a topic: "Mr. Westeros, I heard that the playback results of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the United States are very good, right?"

This man actually knows Chinese, which is the most surprising thing for everyone.

"Yes," Simon said, curious again, and asked with a smile: "Has it been reported in China? What did you say?"

Dashuangzi said: "In China, the days before I came here, I said it was a TV station here, which created a viewing record in the playback period and exceeded 2 million viewers."

According to the past results of DHO's late night theater, this time "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" did break the highest record in a period of time.

However, the number of viewers with only 2 million is not large.

Thinking of this, Simon also asked directly: "The number of viewers of 2 million is not too high, right?"

Da Shuangzi blinked her eyes and said, "2 million is already a lot. Americans, well, it's not like our country. Moreover, the newspaper said that this time it is a paid cable TV station under your company, which can only be watched by spending money. There are more than 9 million subscribers, and more than one-fifth of the audience watch it. It's amazing."

Simon sounds very reasonable at first glance, but when he hears it, he wants to laugh.

Played a word game.

DHO has a total of 9.3 million subscribers as of the end of August, which does not mean that there are only 9.3 million viewers. Just like the Internet, the number of broadband access users and the number of netizens are not the same number.

But, well, there is no need to explain such small details.

Seeing the beautiful beauty in her arms blinking her eyes, the woman's eyes were so beautiful, Simon couldn't help it, so he leaned over and kissed her. She felt that the eyelash brush was like a small brush, and then kissed the woman's lips with a smile.

A wonderful weekend.

Simon returned to Los Angeles on time on Monday morning, and the woman on San Lucas was also rewarded for traveling in the United States for several days as usual.

However, Simon's guidelines are still the ones.

Only by giving can you get it.

Therefore, each woman who attended the party on Friday night received a generous amount of pocket money. For the rest, she was only responsible for the itinerary and accommodation expenses.

When he returned to Los Angeles, Simon still paid special attention to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The drama will be aired this week, and then DHO has to consider some subsequent issues.

First of all, even if it is not as good as the prime time "The Soprano" and "House of Cards", the Chinese media celebrated at all. This result is indeed very outstanding in the late night of DHO. It is expected that the finale of this week will be the highest number of viewers in this drama that will likely break through to 3 million.

Although the subscription system is adopted, DHO also has its own quantitative data on the performance of individual dramas.

Let’s talk about this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" because it is more remote and the drama attracts a group of loyal drama fans who are very interested in Chinese martial arts. The DHO team roughly judges that in September, the fall new programs such as "The Soprano", "House of Cards" and even the same cannot be ignored are expected to bring 700,000 new users, of which 100,000 to 150,000 new users were selected because of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

In terms of the time and nature of this drama, this is already a very high proportion. Of course, there are elements that "The Sopranos" and "House of Cards" that are only broadcast in mid-to-late September and have not yet fully released their user appeal, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" adopt a daily continuous broadcast mode.

In any case, based on the discounted 125,000 users, DHO's subscription fee is $14.99, which is equivalent to bringing Daenerys nearly $1.9 million in revenue. Daenerys only spent $1 million on the omni-channel copyright of this show, including Simon's subsequent additional additional expenses, which is only $2 million.

Not only that, but of course things are not calculated that way.

After all, since they have attracted so many users, most of these people will not only subscribe for one month. As long as DHO keeps them properly, they will be permanent users. Therefore, if calculated based on the consumption time of this group of users for one year, a certain number will immediately reach a high of 22 million US dollars.

Of course, this calculation is a bit biased.

In a word, from a commercial perspective, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is definitely a project that brings rich benefits to DHO.

Therefore, DHO has already confirmed the replay of the series that many drama fans have called for before it has finished broadcasting.

But that's definitely not enough.

Since these people are for Chinese martial arts, if there is only one "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it will definitely not be able to meet the needs of this group of users.

Of course we need to continue introducing.

First of all, movies such as "Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" include movies such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", because the copyright is originally own, but the playback plan is quickly arranged.

Then, let’s talk about other martial arts TV series.

If you want to continue introducing, one thing you have to consider is why this time the "Tianlong Ba Mo" was successful?

This is probably something that many outsiders are puzzled by. However, as long as you have watched this drama, you will basically understand the reason.

Because it's so well made.

After all, the $15 million investment Simon had originally invested in China, which was equivalent to 120 million. Coupled with the cooperation between Hong Kong TVB and Mainland CCTV, the total cost is far greater than that of all Chinese TV series at the same time.

Perhaps the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" filmed by CCTV a few years ago was claimed to be 170 million yuan, but in fact, the shooting cost was only about 80 million yuan, and the rest of the funds were spent on the construction of two film and television cities around the drama. This time, most of the set costs of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were responsible for the Jinshu Film and Television City in Suzhou, so the investment of more than 120 million yuan was spent on production.

This is a movie-level TV series that is not only unprecedented, but also a movie-level TV series that may be difficult for the next ten or twenty years.

For example, many of the selected scenes in the series are scenic spots in mainland China, no less than the scenery in "Heroes" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Besides, the Kung Fu fighting scenes, whether in action design or various props, they are also movie-level, which is enough to make many old martial arts birds film the table.

Well-made, of course, it is easier to catch the audience's attention.
