[스포츠조선 이승미 기자] 글로벌 콘텐츠 기업 스마트스터디가 세계 최대 규모 키즈 엔터테인먼트 채널 니켈로디언(Nickelodeon)과 공동 제작하는 2D 애니메이션 시리즈 '베이비샤크 빅 쇼(Baby Shark's Big Show!, 가제)'의 크리스마스 스페셜 영상을 25일 국내 방영한다고 16일 밝혔다.

Nickelodeon International Greenlights New Animated Series 'Best & Bester'

Originally published: Tuesday, February 11, 2020

NICKELODEON INTERNATIONAL GREENLIGHTS
NEW ANIMATED SERIES ‘BEST & BESTER’


MIAMI—FEB. 11, 2020—Nickelodeon International has acquired pre-buy rights to animated comedy series Best & Bester, a new co-production between London-based studio Eye Present and Finnish studio Gigglebug Entertainment. The deal, announced today from Kidscreen Summit, includes creative editorial input and broadcast commitment from Nickelodeon International, as well as YLE, The Finnish Broadcasting Company, and development funding from Creative Europe, a cultural support program run by the European Union.

The 52 x 11-minute episode order focuses on Best & Bester, two best buddies obsessed with comparing the best things of all time while enjoying the power to transform themselves into anything they want, once a day.

“Best & Bester offer both the laughs and the smarts that we think will resonate with our audience,” said Layla Lewis, SVP Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships, Nickelodeon. “We’re excited to welcome them to the Nick family and bring this comedic duo to our international screens.”


“We love the positive message of this show which is, at its heart, a celebration of diverse opinions and identities. Kids today live in a world that is full of possibilities, when you have a curious mind,” said Teija Rantala, Head of Children’s Programmes at YLE.

“This is great news, the Nickelodeon greenlight for the series now leads us to explore gaming and experiential content which is built into the core of the IP,” said Genevieve Dexter, CEO of Eye Present.

Creators Joonas Utti and Anttu Harlin are thrilled to have their latest creation signed with a global kids brand, following their credits on 101 Dalmatian Street and Gigglebug.

“We want to spread joy through animation. To make seriously silly stuff, with a purpose,” said Anttu Harlin, executive producer and co-founder of Gigglebug Entertainment.

From Kidscreen:

In support of closing deals quickly

After watching several deals stumble earlier this year, Serious Lunch and Eye Present's Genevieve Dexter has learned an important lesson she wants the rest of the industry to know.

Most of the key moments for Eye Present Productions and Serious Lunch Distribution have been serendipitous—our content suddenly becoming very relevant to the big players.

The acquisition of Ronja the Robber’s Daughter by Amazon Prime coincided with the rise of serial storytelling on SVODs. Operation Ouch! grew with a surge in demand for STEM programming, and the series has since grown its reach on Netflix because of the recent call for educational content that could support home schooling. Best & Bester benefited from Nickelodeon International’s new drive to commission and co-develop more third-party content. Most recently, the BBC acquired three series, driven by specific needs for content that was relevant to British kids (Monty & Co) and the combined forces of COVID and Black Lives Matter (The New Legends of Monkey and Tik Tak). I am not going to retrofit a strategy—these were all moments of opportunity.

You have to catch the moment, especially now as the speed of interaction between new media players and the independent sector tends to be a very short window. Once you identify an opportunity, you need to act quickly in all aspects—especially contractually.

Producers may worry about setting a contractual precedent, but they have to analyze the probability of that type of deal still being around to repeat.

At Kidscreen Summit 2020, Eye Present took out Messy Goes to Okido 3 and Best & Bester (pictured) to find co-producers and close financing. One minute we were in Miami, and then poof! Our dreams appeared to melt away as all funding was frozen. Coming out the other side, thankfully most of the players are back at the table, but COVID-19 is just one extreme example of world events that are happening all the time without our knowledge.

There is a tendency in our industry to move to finalize contracts only once all the partners are in place, while pre-production is usually held until these agreements are firmed and signed. I would argue that working in a linear, rather than parallel fashion, is actually riskier. There exists the very real possibility that a deal will evaporate for reasons beyond your control—your key contacts move to new jobs, a trade war influences investments, a pandemic hits the global stage. While you wait for the contracts, the deal you’ve worked towards can vanish. I would urge moving to contract (or at least heads of terms) as soon as possible, with timelines,  goals and, if necessary, exit terms.

There are common causes for contractual delays. There is the broadcast acquisition phase—the most exciting and uncomfortable period prior to start of production. Ideally, you have sound co-development contracts in place that regulate these issues, but there are always grey areas. I would urge everyone to cut through the final stage minutiae. Don’t hold up contracts over small details, and celebrate that you are about to see your program on a major platform. In any complex co-production structure, you are going to make changes along the way, so build in flexibility in cashflow splits, contingency, underages and overages. Keep the energy positive; it’s got to last for the duration of the production. Learn to give in on a few percentage points here and there—it might even work in your favor in the long run.

There are some things that should never be rushed. It is rare that an independent producer or distributor has the power to enforce any finetuning of the standard terms and conditions—better to concentrate on the business terms and the budget to fulfill them. Do the terms leave you with enough rights to be able to complete financing? Are the exclusivity clauses so extreme as to wipe out your future income? These things cannot be ignored or glossed over.

You might be familiar with how other industries tackle deal-making, where M&A teams stay up all night to close if they have to. They don’t wait for that next meeting in Cannes to push the boat along a little further. If you are contracting with an organization much larger than your own, their response time will be slower than yours, so make sure you react quickly and in concert with your partners in a way that encourages your investor that you are proficient enough to fulfill the remit.

You may also be familiar with putting off a contract review for a quiet moment, and then prevarication paints you into a corner. If the contract is a game-changer, anticipate the avalanche of work and opportunity that it entails. I am making a case for haste, so get the financial and team support around you to give you the space—in other words, make sure you can afford to succeed quickly. And remember the ABCs: Always Be Closing.

Executive produced, directed and written by Perry, the series follows a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan (Dylan Gilmer), an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced. Michelle Sneed is also an executive producer, with Will Areu and Mark E. Swinton serving as producers. The series wrapped its first season on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. The series has been renewed for season two.

In Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realizes that raising her grandson is too much to take on, so she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne II), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman) and their two kids Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter). Suddenly, the Wilson family household needs to adapt as lifestyles clash between rising hip-hop star Young Dylan and his straight-laced cousins. From Dylan giving Charlie, Rebecca, and her best friend Bethany (Jet Miller), lessons in “swag” and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, the series follows the hilarious hijinks this family faces as they try to get on the same beat.

In the series premiere of Young Dylan, "Imaginary Friends", Young Dylan arrives at his relatives’ home needing a place to live, but his streetwise swagger upends the conservative Wilson household. (#101)

Nickelodeon’s partnership with Perry is part of his long-term pact with ViacomCBS, producing original series for BET Networks (The Oval and Sistas) and other ViacomCBS networks, with exclusive licensing rights on this programming. Additionally, Perry recently announced his joint venture with BET Networks for the new streaming video on demand service BET+. Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan marks Perry’s first kids’ scripted series.

Born and raised in Annapolis, Md., Gilmer is known for his many appearances and performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and at NBA All-Star Weekend. Gilmer has an overall talent deal with Telepictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Television, and has previously guest starred on the revival of Nickelodeon’s hit series All That.

Gilmer is represented by Sherry Kayne of The Green Room and Chris Abramson at Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson.

The production of Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. Brian Banks serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to mine social platforms for the talent that kids love. Nick's new content slate is informed by the network's ongoing research and insights into today's generation of kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever and expect to see themselves authentically represented in media and in the world around them; want to make a positive difference in the world as they grow up; consider social media stars as their top role models, alongside their parents; and increasingly meet their much-desired need for family time by co-viewing entertainment content together.

Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan made its world debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Saturday, February 29, 2020.
