Chapter 660
The annual VIP user package fee for Shanhai.com is 180 yuan, and 50 million people is equivalent to a total revenue of 9 billion yuan.
Although various operating expenses, bandwidth, servers, content buyouts, etc. require a lot of investment, such a large amount of income is definitely a way to stabilize the morale of the military.
At least it can make people see that they have hope of making profits and have brighter and brighter prospects in the future.
Shanhai.com’s valuation has already exceeded US$100 billion.
Although Shining Technology, with Youyi.com as its main body, continues to forge ahead and expand its business, it cannot avoid the rigidity or even decline of its various market shares.
Therefore, the market value of Shining Technology is only US$100 billion.
Valuation and market capitalization may seem to be the same word, but in fact they are very different.
The valuation of Shanhai.com is US$100 billion, which is likely to rise to US$120 billion or US$150 billion after its listing.
But Shining Technology's US$100 billion is their actual market value. Unless there are some extraordinary achievements, it will not be able to increase at all.
In fact, from their peak of US$120 billion, Shining Technology has already experienced a great decline in performance.
As Shanhai.com continues to advance, its valuation is constantly increasing.
The existence of 50 million VIP annual users is a huge catalyst for valuation improvement.
As long as any company has 50 million users who are willing to pay, that is a huge amount of capital!
This is true for the capital market, and even more so for the all-pervasive advertisers!
Shanhai.com faces audiences all over the world.
For the same TV series, Japanese manufacturers can advertise on the Japanese version page, and Tai Chi manufacturers can advertise on the Korean version page.
The English version is even happier, as it can face at least 3 billion potential viewers.
Even if there is not 3 billion, there is still hope for 1 billion.
Apart from China, which TV station’s advertising users can reach an audience of 1 billion?
Moreover, these 1 billion users are not people from developing countries, but viewers from developed countries. They have stronger spending power and better advertising effects.
Advertisers and manufacturers don’t care what TV station or video website you are.
As long as the audience follows the program or TV series, it has advertising value and publicity value.
The more people there are and the more popular it is, the higher the advertising value will be.
Therefore, relying on the high popularity of the free version and maintaining the scale of revenue of 50 million VIP annual users, Shanhai.com is likely to be valued at 120 billion.
"Yue Yu uses the mode of broadcasting one episode a day, and thirty episodes can be broadcast for thirty days." Xin Changkong said, "But Cui Zhong has told me a long time ago that he hopes I can film the second episode of "Yue Yu" in advance.
For the second part, it would be best if it can be released in March after the Spring Festival."
"This is not busy."
Shen Huan shook his head, "Even if it is to be filmed, it is best to broadcast it at this time next year, and one season a year is the most appropriate."
"Yes." Xin Changkong agreed first, and then said: "I think so too. The effects of the first season have not been seen. Even if they propose the exact same price and incentives, I don't think it is worth it... Like Teacher Chu
The value of such an excellent script should far exceed the limit."
"Speaking of the actors, what do they think of the second season? Will the salary increase significantly?" Shen Huan asked curiously.
It's not without reason that he asked.
Many sequels of classic TV series in previous lives were in trouble because the main actors could not agree on the salary.
If you really have to do it in the end, you can only choose a method based on the situation.
Otherwise, the salary should be increased significantly, like the six protagonists of "Friends" or the protagonists of "The Big Bang Theory".
Or just write the protagonist to death and then introduce a new plot to divert the audience's attention.
In this regard, the most famous one is "Game of Thrones", which really means that whoever dares to raise prices will die, without mercy at all.
If that doesn't work, the only option is to simply take out the previous clips, edit out a few episodes, and end up with a mess.
There are countless more like this.
Shen Huan's expectations for "Prison" are quite high, and of course she doesn't want to get into disputes at the beginning of the second season.
"According to your previous instructions, all the main actors have signed contracts for three seasons." Xin Changkong said, "At least the first three seasons, there should be no problem...that is, it is limited by regulations, otherwise I want to sign for ten seasons of."
The laws of this world are very complete.
Actors will not be allowed to ask for excessive prices without authorization, but they will never be allowed to be tied up for too long.
How can a TV series be filmed for ten consecutive years, but the actors' salaries remain unchanged for ten years... Such a thing cannot be allowed to happen.
Therefore, three years, usually referred to as three seasons, is the maximum limit.
It is also the limit acceptable to both parties.
After a pause, Xin Changkong continued, "Of course, even if the salary will not increase, I will make a reward plan based on the subsequent reward and dividends. Please review it with Teacher Chu."
Xin Changkong is not only the director, but also the producer, responsible for all matters of the crew.
Shen Huan trusts Xin Changkong, but is not afraid of what he does.
After each TV series is completed, an accounting firm will audit the accounts.
Moreover, all copyrights are in the hands of the company, which is the greatest guarantee.
When he said this, the consideration was quite appropriate.
Everyone knows that starring in Teacher Chu Liuxiang's script is to add glory to yourself and make yourself famous all over the world.
For such a good thing, let alone giving money, I am willing to do it even if I don’t give money!
All superstars think so.
The three protagonists in "Prison", Li Yingzhi, Yan Yu and Zhou Lexiang, especially the first two, want to go further, naturally based on the principle of acting well.
Money or not, it's really not that important.
Filming a TV series actually makes no more money than the next advertising endorsement they receive.
But if the TV series becomes a hit, the price of advertising endorsements will be high.
"How do you think of the veteran drama theater actors I introduced to you? They're pretty good, aren't they?" Shen Huan said to Xin Changkong with a smile.
Speaking of this, Xin Changkong couldn't help but slap his leg, "Hey! It's not just good? It's simply great! You don't know, Yan Yu and Li Yingzhi were a bit self-reliant at first, but they acted in several dramas After that, every time I had a break, I would gather in front of several teachers and ask them for advice!
The filming of this TV series ended up going so smoothly, and they really deserve a lot of credit! How come I didn’t discover such cheap and easy-to-use veteran actors before?”
Shen Huan smiled when he heard this.
Of course!
The other world was also unknown at first.
It will be after the appearance of Da Kang X Ji that everyone will realize that these veteran drama actors are so useful!
Therefore, in the previous life, big data dominated TV dramas. After the mistakes of the movies were discovered, their compensation method was to invite more veterans of these drama theaters to control the characters.
In this way, even if those little buddies are not capable of acting, they will still have veteran actors and actresses here to take care of the situation, so at least the basics will be stable.
In this way, many TV series featuring popular new stars have become watchable.
However, people’s comments are at two extremes.
First, let’s criticize these popular fried chickens who have nothing but good looks.
Then he praised these veteran actors for their amazing acting skills.
Shen Huan also watched many such TV series and movies before he realized the real role they played in them.
Therefore, before the filming of "Prison" started, he arranged a large number of young and middle-aged actors from Beijing dialect to join the crew to enrich the framework of this TV series.
