Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 295 Small gathering
At noon, a plane circled and landed at Beijing Airport.

The weather in the capital was a bit colder than that of Laojun Mountain. All kinds of tourists were wearing down jackets or thick leather jackets and other very warm clothes. Many people also wore cotton hats, scarves and gloves.

Even so, many people walked quickly with their heads tucked in and breathless, and they didn't feel a little relieved until they entered the terminal building and slowed down their pace.

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli traveled all the way from Luonan County to Luoyang Airport by car, and then flew from Luoyang Airport to Beijing by plane. At this time, they were walking out of the passage.

"Chu Xuan!"

"Concubine Liu Yi!"

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi waved as soon as they walked out of the passage and were recognized by passers-by.

"Is the filming of "Zhu Xian" finished?"

"It's only been filmed for a month, how can it be so fast."

"Mango officials said that you are going to attend the New Year's Eve party on Mango Channel, is that true?" a girl asked expectantly.

Mango TV started promoting the New Year's Eve party last month, and this is the first time that a TV station in China has held such a party.

For the general public, this is a very novel program format, and novel things are naturally attractive.

For the sake of popularity and ratings, Mango Channel has made great efforts in publicity, both offline and online.

How to promote to maximize the popularity?Naturally, it is the star effect.

Since Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were successfully invited by He Jiong, they have become the first echelon of Mango Channel's promotional resources.

With the spread of publicity, it was a very pleasant surprise for many viewers who liked Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi to get the news of their participation in the party.

The main reason is that these two people are too mysterious. Except for the normal film and television drama press conferences, they hardly appear in the public eye. They do not accept any commercial performances or announcements. Yu Chang looks forward to seeing them in reality. , which is also drunk.

People on the Internet often say that if you want to meet them, go to the airport to try your luck.

No, the girl who was asking the question really met Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi at the airport, and she was so excited for a while.

Facing her question, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi nodded at her.

"Great, I've already bought tickets online, and I'll see you when the time comes." The girl said happily.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi smiled, and followed Liu Xiaoli into the nanny car that came to meet her.

The nanny car drove onto the avenue and sped away.

--Shangri-La hotel.

The nanny car stopped at the door, and the three of them got out of the car and walked into the hotel.

Wang Jinhua reserved a private room at the hotel. He was on a business trip at the end of August after Sissy's birthday. He was busy with theater work and hadn't seen Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi for several months. Today they returned to Beijing and booked a small private room for a small gathering.

"Miss Hua."

"Sissy."

Concubine Liu Yi spread her legs and trotted a few steps, and hugged Wang Jinhua.

"Golden Flower."

"Miss Li."

Liu Xiaoli then walked into the private room and hugged Wang Jinhua with a smile.

"sister."

"younger brother."

Chu Xuan finally embraced Wang Jinhua.

People take their seats.

Wang Jinhua focused on Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, especially Concubine Liu Yi. Compared with the previous simplicity and childishness, in just a few months, she has a more capable temperament.

"Mature." She couldn't help saying.

The corners of Concubine Liu Yi's mouth gradually turned up, showing off her face slightly.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Qianqian and Chu Xuan with relief, and said, "Learn to audition candidates, learn to manage the crew, learn to deal with the special effects team, learn directing skills from Director Zhao and the others, and bring two newcomers. From life, they have indeed improved a lot, and they have a wider range of considerations."

Wang Jinhua nodded, and said with a gentle face: "Practice is the best way to grow."

Chu Xuan said with a slight smile: "The most important thing is that our learning progress must keep up with the pace of the company's development. When the company starts making movies, Sissy and I can get started directly."

Wang Jinhua met his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, that's one of the reasons why I asked you to be the producers of "Zhu Xian". When the time comes, you will lead your own movie."

Concubine Liu Yi blinked, she hadn't been the protagonist of a movie yet, it would be very interesting if she could lead her own movie.

"Sister, what's the situation in the theater?" Chu Xuan poured a cup of tea from the kettle. The hot tea is not suitable for drinking immediately, but it can be used to warm hands. He couldn't help covering the small teacup with his hands.

"It went well." Wang Jinhua reached out and turned the glass turntable in the middle of the dining table, turning the teapot in front of her.

She picked up the teapot and poured tea, and said, "At first, I thought about building theaters in all provinces of the country, but the theater market in some provinces was not good. In the end, it was decided to build theaters in [-] provinces in North China, Central China, and South China. The theaters are concentrated in provincial capital."

"When will it be implemented?" Chu Xuan asked, Concubine Liu Yi turned the turntable, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of tea for her mother, and poured another cup for herself.

"The designer hired by Huaying is designing the blueprint of the theater. The structure of each grade of theater is different. Since we want to build a theater, the interior decoration must be innovated. After the design drawing comes out, we need to make a budget .”

"First build two to three big theaters in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. As the facade of the bright era, it is expected to start construction after the Chinese New Year. Then, according to the decoration model and overall layout of the big theaters, theaters in [-] provinces will start construction at the same time. "

"If all goes well, it will be fully completed and open for business in early 2007."

"Sister, it's hard work." Chu Xuan raised his teacup and said sincerely.

For such a big project as a theater, it doesn’t mean that it can be built just because it’s built. All aspects of it must be properly controlled, and there must be talented people in charge.

Otherwise, the money will be spilled, and the theater will be built, and if they don’t take you to play, then the theater business will be useless.

Sister Hua spent several months planning, and several months to visit all over the country. I heard from Sister Hua that it went well, at least because people and things at all levels in all provinces and regions have already opened up the joints.

Even with the help of Huaying, it is not easy to think about it.

"You've worked hard too. Busy learning so many things is beneficial to the company's development." Wang Jinhua touched Chu Xuan with tea, and each took a sip.

"Sissi is also working hard." She glanced at Concubine Liu Yi again.

"Sister Li is also working hard. While learning about the manager, she also takes care of her two children." She looked at Liu Xiaoli again.

"It's all for a better future." Concubine Liu Yi said suddenly, with a pretty face.

After saying that, Chu Xuan, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua looked at Concubine Liu Yi at the same time and all smiled.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min walked in, "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam, and I was delayed on the road."

After the two sat down, Zhang Jizhong subconsciously patted the table, looked at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, and said with excitement, "Guess, how much is the first round of "Sculpture of God"?"

Concubine Liu Yi was startled, did not answer, and looked at Zhang Jizhong curiously.

"Didn't it just be sent for review?" Chu Xuan said, "The Condor of the Gods" was edited and special effects completed a few days ago, and after it was recorded into a tape, it was sent to the radio and television station for review.

"While sending it to the radio and television for review, I also sent it to CCTV and the ground station. The radio and television review has to go through a process and takes a certain amount of time. The TV station doesn't care about that. They send it to the TV station on the same day and they watch it on the same day." Zhang Jizhong said. door clear.

Yu Min poured him a cup of tea, he took the teacup, and said, ""Sculpture of the Gods" itself has a high degree of national popularity, and back then there was the popularity of national elections, and we communicated with CCTV in advance to reach a preliminary cooperation intention , Last week, the film was sent to CCTV, and they gave a preliminary quotation on the third day, as did the ground station. As long as the radio and television pass the review, the agreement can be signed."

Chu Xuan nodded, he didn't understand these things, but after hearing what Zhang Jizhong said, he understood in his heart.

Concubine Liu Yi did the same, quietly listening and learning, waiting for them to finish.

"How much?" Chu Xuan asked, with a smile in his eyes, Zhang Jizhong's face was obviously excited, indicating that the price of "Sculpture of God" must be a surprise.

"Do you know what is the most expensive TV series at the moment?" Zhang Jizhong answered the wrong question, making a fool of himself.

Chu Xuan shook his head inwardly. Zhang Jizhong spoke very directly in private. He chose to sell Guanzi, which further showed that the price of "Sculpture of God" was a big surprise.

Following Zhang Jizhong's words, he said, "I've heard people in the crew say that "Moment in Beijing" starring Zhao Wei costs 70 yuan per episode."

Zhang Jizhong raised his forehead slightly, and said, "Then guess how much "Sculpture of God" is?"

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi looked at each other, and each guessed a number.

"80?" Concubine Liu Yi said.

"100." Chu Xuan said.

Zhang Jizhong pointed at Chu Xuan: "You guessed it right."

"One million for a single episode?!" Concubine Liu Yi was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Liu Xiaoli looked surprised, with hints of surprise, a single episode of 100 million, how much would it cost including terrestrial channels?

Chu Xuan's guess was correct, but it was also based on Zhang Jizhong's casual remarks, and he was also a little shocked to confirm that "Sculpture of God" has an episode of 100 million.

It can be sold to CCTV for so much money, which is a record, and the price of the terrestrial channel may also be a record, which must be a big number.

Wang Jinhua glanced at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, and said, "One million CCTV episodes, 100 terrestrial channels, 9 episodes."

Concubine Liu Yi turned around and took out her mobile phone from the backpack hanging on the chair, and turned on the calculator in the mobile phone to calculate.

"For 41 episodes, CCTV is 4100 million. The 9 episodes of the 14 terrestrial channels are 126 million episodes, and then multiplied by 41, it is 5166 million, a total of 9266 million."

Concubine Liu Yi raised her head with a look of surprise.

"Counting the estimated 800 million for audio-visual copyright, that's 1 million." Yu Min raised his legs and said kindly.

"Sculpture of the Gods" was directed by him and Zhao Jian, and he is honored to be able to sell this record-breaking high price now.

However, it is one thing to be able to sell at a high price. If the ratings can explode, it will be called double happiness.

Here, he can only look forward to it with a little nervousness, but judging from the performances of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, he feels that the possibility of a big hit is very high.

"Only sold 9 terrestrial channels?" Chu Xuan asked.

"They are all on the satellite, and there will be fewer terrestrial channels that are willing to buy. The signal of the satellite satellite TV covers the whole country, and the terrestrial channel only covers the local area. "Sculpture of God" is broadcast across the country, and there are not so many terrestrial channels that are willing to buy." Zhang Follow the loyalty.

"But not all of the 14 billion people in the country watch satellite TV. According to TV statistics, 30% of the people in the country contribute steadily to the ratings of their local terrestrial channels every day. Based on this situation, even if TV dramas are on the stars, there are terrestrial channels that are willing. I bought it, but I bought relatively few sets." Yu Min said.

Hearing what they said, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi nodded, understanding the situation in this regard.

"Sister, if it is sold, how much will the company earn?" Chu Xuan asked, "Sculpture of the Gods" can be sold at this price, which is a good thing for the development of the company and for the development of him and Concubine Liu Yi.

"The total investment is 5000 million, and the total cost of filming and post-production is only 4000 million. The remaining 1000 million, the sponsorship income is 1500 million, here is 2500 million income, plus 1 million, it is 1 million."

"The company invested 1500 million, 40% of which accounted for 5000 million in revenue and 3500 million in profit. After deducting some expenses, the profit is about 3000 million."

"It's not enough." Wang Jinhua paused for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Hong Kong and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, these places are not counted. If they are released in these places later, Hong Kong and Taiwan are excluded, and foreign advertising sponsorship is a new one." Although foreign countries are not as good as domestic sponsors, it is not a problem to make another 800 million yuan."

Concubine Liu Yi was very happy when she heard this.

In addition to the help of the crew to promote the domestic advertising sponsorship, it will scroll on the TV screen after the end of each episode when it is finally broadcast on TV.

There is no crew promotion for overseas advertising sponsorship, but there are TV screens rolling, and the price will be much lower than domestic sponsorship, but the sponsorship in each country is different. The advantage lies in the large amount and profit.

Since she became a producer with Chu Xuan, she has a better understanding of these.

"Counting all these together, the first round of release of "Sculpture of God" can earn 4000 million yuan, and it can continue to earn after two years." She said, making a "yeah" with her right hand.

The copyright of TV dramas is limited to two years. If the renewal is not renewed after two years, TV stations cannot broadcast them.

If the TV station wants to continue broadcasting, it needs to pay the copyright owner to buy the copyright again.

Of course, copyright also has permanent rights, but no TV station buys permanent rights. After all, no TV station has a considerable ratings for a long time.

"The price of the second round of distribution will be cut in half." Chu Xuan said, according to the past TV market, the first round of distribution is the most profitable, and the income of the second round of distribution is basically half of the first round. Halving, so repeated rules, until the price of the TV series becomes the lowest price.

"Not necessarily, it depends on the market." Yu Min shook his head and said, "The price of a single TV episode increases every year. In 05, we sold 14 episodes of "Sculpture of God", so the average TV price in 07 and 08 went up." Now, we can’t negotiate the price of the first round of 14 episodes when we release it again, we must increase the price and negotiate a [-]% or [-]% reduction.”

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi listened to Yu Min's words, nodded slowly, and understood the rules.

"No matter what, as long as Chu Xuan and Qianqian remain popular, "Sculpture of God" will continue to sell." Zhang Jizhong laughed.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua glanced at them with expectations in their eyes.

"Like "Han Zhu Ge Ge", how many years has it been, and there are tens of millions of copyright fees every year, our "Sculpture of God" is not bad, in ten or eight years, when the TV industry develops, "Sculpture of God" I guess the annual copyright fee is quite a lot." Zhang Jizhong said with a smile.

In the current market, the lowest average price of TV series seems to be only a few thousand yuan per episode.

With the development of the market, all TV people have a hunch that the lowest average price of tens of thousands of episodes, or even hundreds of thousands of episodes, is possible.

If it really wants to develop to this level, take "Sculpture of the Gods" as an example, it will be worthless at that time, and it will be sold at the reserve price, and one set of 41 episodes can sell for 800 million.

According to this prediction, as long as Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi continue to be popular, "Sculpture of the Gods" will bring tens of millions of income to Brilliant Times every year.

This is the charm of TV dramas, which can continuously make money. In terms of the current film and television drama market, this is more powerful than movies.

Of course, there must be a premise that this TV series is a hit, and the main actors in it must always maintain their popularity.

After all, after multiple rounds of TV dramas are released, what the audience sees is feelings.

There was a knock on the door, and the waiter came in with the food.

"Eat." Wang Jinhua said: "I won't drink today, drink another day. Later, I will go to see the villa with Sister Li and the others. The villa with an area of ​​2000 square meters will see what it looks like."

Zhang Jizhong picked up the chopsticks, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Take me, I'm curious too."

"Add me." Yu Min joined in the fun.

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly.
