In the box, Cao Xuan had a chat with other Fanxing executives and some of the main creators of "Golden Fen Family".
The finale of "The Family" has achieved remarkable results and is expected to hit the annual ratings championship. Stars has made a good start in 2002.
More importantly, the super high ratings will make the follow-up income of "Golden Fan Family" considerable. Both Beijing TV Station and Hunan TV Station are preparing to spend a lot of money to purchase the second-round broadcast rights, and they are expected to export it to Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas regions.
Including the previous first-round broadcast rights + pre-roll advertising, the total revenue of "Golden Pink Family" has reached more than 50 million, and the net profit is guaranteed to be no less than 35 million.
Since Fanxing was founded on November 13, 1997, this is the largest single project profit, and the whole company is excited.
And this is only the income on the surface, there are many hidden benefits, such as the celebrity status and commercial value of several leading actors have increased significantly.
The most obvious one is Dong Xuan. Her salary before was very small, but now she doesn't even need to ask for less than 500,000 yuan.
Not to mention Cao Xuan and Hu Jing. Cao Xuan is too famous and is capital in itself, so it cannot be calculated alone. Hu Jing, who has just been officially promoted to the fourth female star, has already received more than 2 million yuan in salary.
This is just a conservative estimate. As one of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry, Hu Jing’s commercial value and potential have great potential.
This so-called salary of 2 million is just a reference and may not be determined when negotiating the actual price.
Some may be as high as 2 million, or even more than doubled, and some may take the initiative to lower it to 1.5 million, 1 million, or even lower, depending on the specific situation.
For example, in the drama "The Unruly Princess", Hu Jing's salary was only 1.5 million + 500,000 in red envelopes, and the latter would only be given after reaching a certain ratings.
It's not Cao Xuan, that's the rule in the industry. "The Diaoman Princess" can be said to be a drama tailor-made by Fanxing for Hu Jing. It is a flattering drama, so her salary must be converted into part of the cost.
The same is true for Dong Xuan. Her subsequent role in "Snowflake Goddess Dragon" was also specially used by the company to promote her, and her salary was about 60% to 80% of the market price.
Ordinary bosses may lower the price, but Cao Xuan is pretty good. Not only is the price not so ruthless, but he also provides a red envelope clause.
If the company makes money, the company will supplement the salary and even add some bonuses.
But if the company isn't making money, then there's no need to discuss it.
Of course, this is limited to the drama inside the stars.
If you are going out to take a movie, then unless the script is particularly good, it is purely from a business perspective and you can charge as much as you want.
This is true even for the dramas in which Fanxing collaborates, because it is not Fanxing's family who pays for it. In business, there may be a small discount but not too low. After all, Fanxing also takes a share of the actors' remuneration internally.
Aside from the actors, there is actually a bigger benefit that Stars Drama has made famous.
Although it cannot yet be compared with the so-called Qiong Yao drama, Hai Yan drama, and Jin Yong drama, it is still somewhat famous.
Fanxing's dramas are selling better than before, and they are selling at higher prices. This is the biggest benefit that the drama "Golden Pink Family" has brought to Fanxing.
"The Unruly Princess" has been watched by several TV stations, not to mention "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer". Every now and then, someone calls me and wants to eat this big fat piece of meat.
Even the previous "Armor Warrior" was not released so smoothly, but now there are some prospects, and it is hoped that it will be launched on CCTV Children's Channel and a local station.
However, the other party's funds are limited, and Fanxing is not very satisfied with the price offered, so now he plans to exchange some advertising time for operation.
But no matter what, Cao Xuan took care of Cao Shangfei and invited relevant personnel to hold an internal celebration party.
After clinking glasses, Cao Xuan put the wine aside as he realized what he meant, but he couldn't stop others from coming over to toast and get closer.
That's just the internal staff of Fanxing. Many of the main creators of "Golden Pink Family" who are not employees of Fanxing want to take advantage of the opportunity to show their face. If they are valued and signed to Fanxing, they will make a lot of money.
Cao Xuan drank tea instead of wine, managed to deal with some people, and then took the time to evacuate the box.
There are only four private rooms in Caoshangfei. It is definitely not only a private restaurant, but also has certain leisure function areas, including but not limited to chess and card rooms, lounges, tea rooms, study rooms, etc., for guests to wait, meet and rest.
As the boss, Cao Xuan has a separate private study room, which can also be regarded as his office on the grass.
The overall style of Caoshangfei is Chinese classical style, and the study decoration is also antique and elegant.
Cao Xuan came in to hide from the wine. When the waiter saw him, he immediately came in and ordered some sandalwood for the study.
"Forget it, help me call Mr. Li, Vice-President Jiang and the others."
Under normal circumstances, Cao Xuan is not particularly keen on this kind of Chinese classical style, but when he came to this study and was influenced by the environment, he couldn't help but take out two walnut plates from the drawer and play with them.
He actually didn't understand this thing, and he played it very wildly, and even seemed to be stumbling and breaking a little.
Cao Xuan also plans to go back and find someone to get a pair of pure copper walnuts. They are not afraid of being knocked or touched. They are also strong when coiled and can be used as hidden weapons at critical moments.
Of course, pure gold is better, but although Cao Xuan is not afraid of stealing or wear and tear, the key thing is that gold has high density and is tiring on the hands...
While Cao Xuan was thinking about this, several Fanxing executives came in. General Manager Li Yan's face was already red, and most of the others were also slightly tipsy.
There was no way, there were only a few high-level officials, everyone gathered around to toast, Cao Xuan protected his throat and refused to drink. They may not have a good reason, and the boss had stopped drinking. If they didn't drink, it would be a disappointment, so they could only refuse everyone who came.
Seeing this, Cao Xuan asked the waiter to pour a few cups of tea or honey water, so that a few people could sober up a little, and then talked about business.
The English EP is about to be released, and he will leave for the United States soon. He will probably not be able to come back for more than a month. He needs to explain everything clearly to everyone in the company.
In fact, there is not much to explain. All kinds of film and television productions are done step by step. What really needs to be done is to cooperate with Cao Xuan's promotion.
This time Cao Xuan entered the European and American music scene, and many people laughed.
Although Cao Xuan himself was not sure whether he would succeed, he was somewhat confident with three Wang Zha songs in hand.
Since there is a possibility of success, we must be prepared to build momentum later. Otherwise, if the country becomes popular and cannot keep up with the publicity, it will be passive.
Cao Xuan thought it would take more effort to convince the Fanxing executives to take this matter seriously, but he did not expect that he still underestimated his influence in the company.
Although Cao Xuan considers himself a third-rate businessman, it took him less than five years to build Fanxing from a grassroots team into a first-rate entertainment company in the mainland.
Cao Xuan's precise vision for film and television production, his continuous success in commercial operations, and his outstanding performance in the music industry include killing gods and Buddhas.
Many of Fanxing's top executives have almost fanatical admiration and confidence in him.
Others did not believe that Cao Xuan would succeed in the European and American music circles, and even Cao Xuan himself was a little hesitant, but everyone firmly believed that Cao Xuan could do it.
Of course, it is not that there are calm people. For example, the general manager Li Yan, who just joined the company not long ago, has not been brainwashed yet. However, under the general situation, he does not dare to say anything and obeys orders honestly and cooperates.
When he first became the general manager of Fanxing, Li Yan also thought about making great achievements and leading the company to become bigger and stronger and to glory, but he soon realized that Fanxing was completely Cao Xuan's fault.
Everyone in the company, especially the old man, trusts Cao Xuan very much and almost obeys his orders.
In less than a month, Li Yan gave up all thoughts of being the boss and became his own housekeeper. He knew very well that if he dared to explode, Cao Xuan could oust him with just one word and leave within three days.
.
In fact, after more than half a year of getting along and working together, Li Yan now admires Cao Xuan a little, but he has not yet reached the level of brainwashing and has his own judgment ability.
It was precisely because of this that Cao Xuan looked at Li Yan favorably. After all, he had a good command of his own and had a subordinate who was not unconditionally obedient and could remind him sometimes.
What's more important is that although Li Yan has his own judgment, as long as Cao Xuan gives an order, he will strictly implement it even if he disagrees.
Apart from being a little timid and a little bit like the crowd, there are almost no major shortcomings.
After some discussion, some arrangements were made, and Cao Xuan specifically asked Jiang Yue to collect some American customs for him.
This is also Cao Xuan's habit every time he goes abroad. He needs to understand the local situation. There is no need to be too detailed. He should have at least some common sense to avoid stepping on the wrong side of things.
For example, black people in the United States are more taboo about asking "what's your father's last name" and watermelon + fried chicken.
Needless to say, the former is a racial talent, and the latter is because during the black/slave period, watermelon + fried chicken was a classic meal configuration for many black/slaves.
Mentioning this in front of black Americans is equivalent to telling the Jews that the Germans are awesome, or telling the French that white is the most beautiful color in the world. It is a minefield.
But ordinary Chinese people don’t know this. After eating fried chicken, it would be great to have a piece of watermelon to relieve fatigue.
He meant well at first, but he was misunderstood. If he met someone with a bad temper, he might just shoot him with a gun...
Therefore, it is necessary to do some common sense before going abroad.
Fortunately, there are not too many things that the United States needs to pay attention to at this stage.
You can't mention 911, at least you can't talk with a smile like in China, and don't touch on race, religion, politics and other red flags.
As long as you avoid a few large restricted areas, the rest is relatively free.
Unlike in a few decades, women's rights, animal protection, environmental protection, obesity, mental illness, transgender, race, male and female, male or female...
That buff is enough to write a few professional papers. Public figures in the United States are all in danger. If they say something wrong, they will be hung up and scolded.
Under the spell, even Snow White and the mermaid changed their colors.
Cao Xuan just wants to make money steadily and has no intention of getting involved in the dirty things in the United States. Whether it is releasing records or making movies, he only wants to make money and ignores everything else.
Of course, if there is an opportunity, he would still like to stir up trouble without affecting his personal safety...
