Chapter 153 When the income arrives, Boss Wei holds a celebration banquet
In mid-February, the second-round broadcast rights of "My Love from the Star" were successfully negotiated and launched one after another.
Due to the four-star restriction for one drama, that is, a drama can appear on up to four satellite TV stations at the same time, so "My Love from the Star" is mostly broadcast on local stations.
According to a rough estimate on the Sohu website, a total of 14 TV stations broadcast "My Love from the Star" after the Spring Festival.
Among them, there are five national satellite TV stations, including two prime time slots (8 p.m.), two sub-prime time slots (10 p.m.), and two daytime slots.
The reason why there is an extra one is because Sichuan Satellite TV not only broadcasts it during the day, but also broadcasts it at night. The audience watches Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang making love on TV all day long.
This is also a common problem among many TV stations. They take advantage of a TV series to make the most of it.
Sichuan Satellite TV is a typical example. Especially during the daytime slot, it often goes several months without changing dramas.
Other satellite TV stations, such as Lu Province, also prefer "Crossing the Guandong", "Parents' Love" and "My Mother's Field", while Hui Province TV prefers old dramas from Hong Kong and Taiwan. "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are broadcast every three to five.
Some people vomited after watching it, but some viewers loved watching it and couldn't get enough of it. They couldn't put it down and even called to complain.
Local TV stations do not have so many concerns. There are nine TV stations in total, covering Shandong Province, Sichuan Province, Hui Province, northwest, northeast and other regions.
Theoretically speaking, as long as your home has satellite TV or cable, you can't escape "My Love from the Star" all day long.
Before that, the only ones that could reach this level were national hits such as "Bright Sword" and "Wulin Gaiden".
The replay rate of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is also very high. It has been replayed at least 40 times from its first broadcast to now, and its popularity has not diminished to this day.
Relying on these two dramas, Wei Yangnai has always been in front of the audience, and his position in the New Four is as secure as Mount Tai.
But for Wei Yang, popularity is only one aspect, he is more concerned about real money.
The start of the second round of broadcasting rights and the negotiation of the third round of broadcasting rights indicate that most of the profits of "My Love from the Star" have been basically received, and the crew has also begun to completely divide the accounts.
48.6 million for the first run, 21 million for the exclusive online broadcast rights, over 1,000 for overseas copyrights in Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and other places, about 10 million for pre-roll ads and DVD copyrights, about 15 to 20 million for the second and third runs, and some peripherals
The licensing fee is almost a few million...
All these, plus some miscellaneous expenses, "My Love from the Star" can probably earn about 120 million.
Moreover, this is only the current total income. Although there will be no major income in the future, various copyright licensing and other income will be divided into shares, or have a number of years, and they can be sold again when they expire.
The individual amounts of these benefits are not large, but when taken together, they are quite substantial.
Leaving aside the subsequent earnings, the total income of 120 million surprised several investors.
You know, from the types of income mentioned above, it can be seen that the vast majority of TV dramas in the industry cannot harvest so much income.
At least overseas copyrights, DVD copyrights, second and third rounds, peripheral licensing, etc. are difficult to sell, let alone high prices.
If it weren't for the popularity and discussion of "My Love from the Star", as well as its precise idol positioning and highly popular characters, it wouldn't have received much support and cooperation from all parties.
What's a pity is that the foundation of this drama was too weak at the beginning, all the advertising placement was used as investment, and it was not favored by many advertisers, so it lost a lot of revenue.
But Wei Yang doesn't have a troubled personality. This drama didn't take advantage of him, and the next drama will make up for it.
Especially for the existing comedy "Shan Shan Is Coming", another important reason why Wei Yang participated was to bring advertising.
Since the male protagonist is a domineering president, various high-end brands such as cars, clothing, watches, and digital products are accessible.
Although Xiao Zhao is an ordinary employee, he probably cannot carry high-end brands. As a foodie, it is no problem to bring some snacks, drinks and some mass products.
The investment in the script "Shan Shan Is Coming" is not high, and considering Wei Yang's current aura in the eyes of major advertisers.
It is estimated that there will be a large number of free props sponsored by that time, and it may even be possible to recoup the cost directly by placing advertisements, or even make a small profit.
This is the highest state of the empty-handed white wolf!
After "My Love from the Star" is roughly divided, the Blue Whale family will earn about 55 million.
Well, before tax.
The first project he took over was so brilliant that Wei Yang held a celebration banquet in Shanghai, mainly to reward the staff for their hard work and to thank investors for their trust and support.
The investors also cheered enthusiastically. Fan Xiaopang was busy filming, so she sent her agent Mu Xiaoguang, and even invited her mother Fan Mu to attend on her behalf to show their respect.
It’s impossible not to pay attention to it. Not to mention Wei Yang’s help in her career and the high degree of commercial endorsements, the revenue sharing from this drama alone is as low as 25 million.
Anyone who helped you make 25 million, you treated them poorly, if she hadn't really been able to spare the time, she would have come in person.
In addition to these shareholders of the "My Love from the Star" crew, Wei Yang also invited several financial backers who were ready to win over for cooperation, media bosses, Magic City Capital and even several heads of good friends from film and television companies, and they all gathered together.
On the one hand, it is to show the bosses his earning power, so that everyone can invest generously.
In addition, you can also show off your connections and strength, flex your muscles, and let people know that you are not a soft persimmon, so that no one will get too cautious.
As a close partner of Blue Whale, Cai Yinong was still invited to come.
Seeing Wei Yang socializing back and forth at the banquet with a glass of wine, chatting and laughing with the bosses, he was so high-spirited that Boss Cai couldn't help but sigh.
Two years ago, Wei Yang was just a small screenwriter. Although he was a bit difficult to deal with and cunning, in the end he still followed her to earn a living. Who would have thought that Wei Yang would grow up so fast in such a short period of time.
Although the scale and reputation of Blue Whale is still far behind that of Tang Dynasty.
But how many years has Tangren been established?
How long has it been since Wei Yang took over Blue Whale?
Cai Yinong, who watched Wei Yang grow up step by step, understood very well how capable this young man was. Especially when she saw the Blue Whale's constant movements and the support of a large number of financial backers, she couldn't help but feel excited.
A strong sense of crisis arose.
If this trend continues, in a few years, it will really be her turn to look up to Wei Yang.
Cai Yinong was not the only one with mixed emotions at the scene, Tang Yan was also present at this time.
As one of the main creators of "My Love from the Star", she naturally had a part in the celebration party. It happened to be that she was filming in Shanghai, so he followed her over and brought a few "troublemakers" with her.
"Mr. Wei, hello, hello, I am Sun Liang, the vice president of Syndicate Company."
"Hello, Mr. Sun."
Wei Yang didn't know this person, but he still shook hands in a friendly manner, and then looked at Tang Yan next to Sun Liang. The latter hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to introduce him.
"Mr. Sun is the producer of our "Xia Family's Three Daughters" crew."
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "My Love from the Star" were huge hits, and Tang Yan was also on the rise. Her resources were not as shabby as before, and the heroine who successfully won a drama was none other than "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family" produced by Syndicate
.
Sun Liang smiled brightly: "I have admired Mr. Wei for a long time. This time I caught up with Xiaotang to help and came here rashly. I hope you won't be surprised."
"Wherever, Mr. Sun can come, Pengpishenghui, welcome."
Although Wei Yang didn't understand this person's intention, he would never drop his words to the ground.
The two chatted for a while, Sun Liang handed over his business card, and then left in acknowledgment. Only then did Wei Yang look at Tang Yan.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know either."
Tang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "When I was about to set off, I came right over and wanted to follow you. I couldn't get rid of you, but I heard from the crew that the crew has been looking for external funds, and they may be asking you for money."
"Invest money!?"
Wei Yang thought thoughtfully, he knew the drama "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family". Although it was a bit silly and the reputation was not high, the ratings data were good.
I would like to mention Tang Yan here. Although she does not have many hit works, many people even wonder why she is ranked with other 85 flowers.
But in fact, although many of Tang Yan's works have not been popular, they have achieved good results. They are the kind of second-tier works that are not enough to compare with the previous ones, but more than enough to compare with the lower ones.
Tang Yan and her team are not stupid people. Whether she is suitable for Sha Bai Tian is not said, but the key point is that Tang Yan's silly TV series performed well in the market, and relevant resources are willing to find her.
Not all actors have the ability and courage to make breakthroughs. Most of them stay in their comfort zone.
Wei Yang doesn't care about Tang Yan's career choice, but what he can guarantee is that the drama "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family" is indeed going to be successful.
He still has a large amount of funds on hand that has not been used. The original target was the Tang Dynasty, but Lao Cai had various concerns and never reached an agreement. If the conditions for this "Xia Family Three Daughters" are suitable, he can give it a try.
But there is no need to talk to Tang Yan now. The contact information has been given to her. If Sun Liang really wants to invest later, he will definitely come to him.
"I saw a few people came with you just now. Let's get to know each other and give you some support. Don't let others bully you."
"You think everyone is like you."
"What are you saying? Others will think that I did something to you."
The two bickered for a few times, and Tang Yan also brought Wei Yang to meet several companions, all of whom were the main creators of "The Three Thousand Gold of the Xia Family".
This is the case in the entertainment industry, especially at celebrations, banquets, etc., where there are many bosses and opportunities, and many people will try their best to squeeze in.
Today is just a small celebration. The artists are all actors from "My Love from the Star" and none of the artists from Blue Whale are here.
Even so, various friends and companions, seven belts and eight belts, also mixed in many artists, models and peripherals.
Wei Yang also turned a blind eye to this. He was in a special situation and could not engage in any meaty games. The plain games were too dry and lacked atmosphere, so he relied on the bosses' own female companions and these people who came spontaneously.
"Enthusiasts".
"This is Zhang Meng."
Wei Yang shook hands with a pure and beautiful girl, and said a few words in his heart, plastic surgery kills people, she looks so beautiful now.
"This is Chen Chuhe, from Taiwan Province."
Wei Yang kept smiling, but his attitude was actually a bit cold. This person's identity was too complicated, and he didn't intend to cultivate the Taiwanese market, so it was better not to get involved.
"This is Qiu Ze, who is also from Taiwan and has been a singer for several years."
"Long time admiration."
Wei Yang was accustomed to saying polite words, but this one was not as friendly to him as the previous two. He just shook his hand perfunctorily, and there was no sign of a smile on his face.
Zhang Meng hurried over to smooth things over, praising "My Love from the Star" to Wei Yang and asking for a group photo.
What's interesting is that this actor, who is also an actor in "Beauty's Scheming", plays the role of Wei Zifu. He only appears at the end, with very few scenes and only a glimpse.
Later, Zhang Meng became famous because of that scene, and the damn girl boasted about the scene and made her famous.
However, the influence of "Beauty's Scheming" is not as good as that of the original time and space. Zhang Meng did not get much light from it and even rebelled and became a "fan" of Wei Yang.
Wei Yang chatted here for a few minutes, talking to Zhang Meng, Chen Chuhe and the other two actors. Only Qiu Ze ignored him and kept drinking.
Even a fool can see this attitude, he has a problem with Wei Yang.
Wei Yang didn't get angry, he just glanced at Tang Yan, who was frowning, and smiled softly.
"Young man has an idea."
Wei Yang didn't care if there was any trouble between the two people, but he was a narrow-minded person, and if Qiu lost face to him, he had to make him feel uncomfortable.
So when he was leaving, he specifically asked Tang Yan to step aside, whispered a few words in a friendly manner, then made a fuss, and finally stuffed something into Tang Yan's hand and waved away.
Tang Yan didn't react for a while. She looked at the hotel coupon in her hand in confusion. She didn't understand what Wei Yang meant when he suddenly said a tongue twister to her just now.
Qiu Ze, who witnessed all this not far away, didn't know what to think of, and his face was ashen...
