Scary! Warner's streaming media has been revealed to want to buy "The Big Bang Theory" for 1 billion yuan

"the Big Bang Theory"

before that, Friends's contract to broadcast on Netflix expired, and Warner's streaming platform HBO Max spent $425 million to start broadcasting the show on its own platform in 2020. NBC Universal has also spent more than $500m to put "the Office" on its own platform, waiting for the show's contract with Netflix to expire in 2021.

however, HBO Max is going to make a big move, and the amount of money they are going to sell will overshadow the above two American TV series. According to foreign media Deadline, HBO Max is currently in negotiations to win online streaming rights for two CBS sitcoms the Big Bang Theory and two and a half Men. The Big Bang Theory alone could cost HBO Max a billion US dollars, while the two dramas will add up to a frightening US $1.5 billion.

"two and a half Men"

unlike Friends and the Office, "the Big Bang Theory" and "two and a half Men" have never been broadcast on streaming media before (both here are authentic North American channels), which is why they are so expensive. HBO Max will launch next spring, and although "the Big Bang Theory" and "two and a half Men" have not won as many awards as Friends and the Office, the first two are among the most popular sitcoms of the century.

"Seinfeld"

at the same time, Sony TV is not idle, hoping to buy the streaming rights to Seinfeld. The show's agreement with Hulu expires in 2021. Hulu doesn't seem to want to keep Seinfeld either, in part because Hulu has been accepted by Disney as a distribution platform for Disney's own content, and is less enthusiastic about buying other content.
