Chapter 96 Income (1/5)
"Shocking Heart" has a total investment of 45 million yuan, which is the absolute level of drama king two years ago.
But this year, it is not a medium-to-high-level level!
As hot money flows in from all walks of life, the TV circle has entered the "billion-yuan era", and a batch of blockbusters of billions of yuan have been launched one after another. What Lu Xiaoran knows is that several TV series have invested over the 200 million yuan mark, such as "The Legend of Chu and Han" with a total investment of 240 million yuan, "The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" with a total investment of 250 million yuan, and "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" with a total investment of 280 million yuan...
The TV series "White Deer Plain" and "Forty-Nine Days·Festival" that have been launched one after another have also invested more than 100 million yuan.
TV series burned so much that movie stars began to "counterattack" the TV series market.
"The Loyalty Yue Fei", a drama, Brother Xiao Ming won 20 million!
If we look at the rules of film and television, movie stars have returned to the TV series market one after another, which is actually contrary to the world trend.
At least the current stage of American dramas have not yet launched movie stars on a large scale!
However, in our country's film and television industry, the income from filming TV series is much higher than that of movies. The shooting cycle of a movie is about 1 to 2 months and the TV series is about 3 months, which is not far different, but the income of the two is huge, and the pay for TV series is often 4 to 5 times that of movies.
Many celebrities take on TV series just to make a fortune!
For example, after "The Palace", Yang Xiaomi's single-episode TV series paid to 400,000!
Not discounted yet!
The main reason is that there is a market: as of September 2011, the production of TV series has exceeded 12,000 episodes, and the approved TV series has reached more than 30,000 episodes!
Last year, this number was still 8,000 episodes!
Too much hot money!
It’s not a fool, he just smashes movies. Compared with movies, TV series are not that good at gambling, but the profit is relatively simple - as long as you get the big stars.
Therefore, Yang Xiaomi can only film five or six TV series a year...
——When buying TV series, TV stations prefer to buy familiar dramas from well-known actors or directors with rating appeal.
Not to mention Yang Xiaomi, even Liu Shishi's external quotation has risen to 400,000 per episode!
Market-decided!
"Sharp Heart" took advantage of a loophole - all the actors who were used were outdated or not very famous, and Tangtang was "willingly" to play the supporting role.
Now we are not going to launch new time travel dramas, but the time travel dramas themselves have a market, so a bunch of TV stations buy...
It is very rare. After the first round of the TV series, nine TV stations were broadcast on the TV series in the second round, and local satellite TV stations are even more popular. You can imagine how much money "Shocking Heart" earns!
"Palace Locking Heart Jade" is different. Mango TV directly bought out the broadcast rights, and other TV stations have no chance to buy...
...
“When will “Star You” be produced?”
"…Wait for a while, why are you asking this?"
"I haven't played the lead role in a long time..."
"Aren't you the heroine in "Search"?"
“…I mean TV series!”
"Next March, I'll take time to teach Huang Xiaoming what an idol drama is!"
"Then... ring the bell on the market, who will you take?"
“…Why did you think of this?”
"I also want to go to A-shares to ring the bell..."
"Okay, then you go and ring the bell."
"real?"
"...You are the largest individual shareholder besides me. It's the most suitable thing for you to ring the bell!"
"Then what is the market value of Oranges going public?"
Lu Xiaoran helplessly put the script of "Embroidered Spring Sword" on her thigh: "...Sister, I'm reading the script!"
"You tell me..."
“…I don’t know, I haven’t been listed again…”
Tangtang muttered for a moment, not knowing what he thought of, but slowly fell asleep against Lu Xiaoran...
...
Orange’s financial report has been announced to the public.
The major conditions for the company to go public are all met, including the number of starting people, nature of the company, total equity, financial and accounting system...
The most conspicuous thing is profitability!
Since 2008, Orange’s annual net profit has been more than 100 million yuan, and last year it reached 300 million yuan. In the first three months of this year, it has jumped directly to 400 million yuan!
Even Lu Xiaoran was shocked when he saw this data!
I studied the sales of TV series "The Gang of Men", "A Smile Scenery", "The Cang Wolf", "Shocking Heart", "Indelible Number" and the copyright revenue of the three hit TV series last year was close to 180 million;
Of course, the five TV series "Wind Words", "Oaths in This Life", "Cliff", "Floating and Downing" and "Parents' Love" that have also paid a lot...
Overall, it is profitable;
In terms of movies, the box office share of "The Lonely Agent" was 210 million yuan, plus the Shanghai copyright income of US$26 million, and the box office share of "The Golden Robbery" was 110 million yuan...
Of course, the income and expenditure of the film industry is negative, and there are too many projects under development and have already been established...
The most surprising thing is the variety show module. The variety show "The Voice" directly brought Orange a net profit of 290 million yuan!
In addition to the 30 million profit brought by "Food and Afternoon Tea", Orange's variety show department brought more than 300 million net profits!
This is also the main source of financial revenue...
Is it so profitable to do variety shows?
...
"The average viewership rate of "The Voice" is close to three percent, and the advertising revenue of Beijing TV station is about 500 million yuan. Our income is incomparable to theirs, and the main thing is to sell copyrights!"
The person in charge of the variety show department is Du Yan, who was dug by Zhong Lifang from Mango TV.
(Du Yan is the general producer of "I Am a Singer")…
"We offer copyrights from several European countries. We offer 500,000 euros. There are more European countries. We have sold copyrights from more than 20 countries. Some Southeast Asian countries sell half-sell half-get, and South Korea and Japanese benzene copyrights are almost $500,000... Now we are mainly negotiating with North America. Twentieth Century Fox offers a purchase of $20 million, but we do not agree..."
"Why don't you agree?"
"The contracts we signed are all copyrights for two years. Give them some sweetness first, and then increase the price after two years..."
“…What if they don’t renew their contract?”
"Don't worry, we have conducted a survey. TV stations in every country are not just a single piece. If they don't renew their contracts, we can sell them to other TV stations at a high price!"
Lu Xiaoran smiled: "You are really good at doing business, free ones are the most expensive!"
Zhong Lifang: "...I have cheated us more than 20 million US dollars, and I have to make up for it!"
"Ahem...how many movies did we buy from Fox Searchlight?"
"A little over thirty movies, they sold them in packages."
“…Is there anything worth issuing?”
The so-called worthy release means that the box office prospects must be at least 10 million, otherwise, the advance payment of the issuance fee will not be made back!
"Most of them have no commercial attributes. Although the box office in North America is good, it may not be suitable for the domestic market..."
"Then keep it for a few years and sell it to a video website!"
