The eldest princess is a very strategic woman.
She signed a broadcast contract for "Yue Yu 2", and "Yue Yu 2" was directly produced in May.
It was originally scheduled to be broadcast in June, but the advertisements have been released in advance.
As a result, in May, after it was confirmed that it would be released in September, Zheng Rongrong abruptly stopped the broadcast of "Yue Yu 2" and changed it to start broadcasting in late August.
Although Shanhai.com's announcement at that time was due to some technical reasons and the film itself had to be adjusted, everyone still refused to forgive it.
At that time, it triggered a backlash from countless fans.
Fans from OMI countries, Japan and South Korea rushed to the main website one after another and scolded Shanhai.com for not keeping its word.
Then the crew of "Yue Yu 2", including Fengxiang Film and Television, were also implicated, and thousands of foreigners complained about the actor's meager account.
If you count carefully, there are at least 20 or 30 languages in the country.
The scolding has reached an international level, which is really admirable.
As I said before, the eldest princess is very good at being a good person.
Because Fengxiang Film and Television was implicated and took a lot of blame for them, the buyout agreement was issued before the broadcast started this year.
The "Yue Yu" series itself was made for Shanhai.com.
The reason is that when filming "The Gift of Room No. 7", Shen Huan asked them to make the prison as big and good as possible without demolishing it.
Later, Shanhai.com left this building, which happened to be used in the "Yue Yu" series.
From a sentimental point of view, Shen Huan gave it to Shanhai.com.
The filming of the first "Prison" cost 60 million yuan, and Shanhai.com's initial buyout fee was 100 million yuan.
Then every episode when the number of viewers reaches 100 million, an additional 100 million will be added.
If it reaches 200 million, then add another 100 million.
"Yue Yu" achieved this result, so the revenue was 300 million.
Finally, because of the good response overseas, many TV stations applied to purchase the broadcast rights, and Shanhai.com spent 300 million yuan to buy out the global rights.
So "Yue Yu" received an income of 500 million yuan. After deducting expenses, the gross profit margin was 700%!
If "Huan Zhuge Ge" hadn't come out later, this first "Prison" would have been the revenue peak of the Chinese television industry.
The starting point for the first part is so high, and the buyout price for the second part is definitely not low.
Shanhai.com originally discussed with Fengxiang Film and Television a one-price buyout of 500 million, but Xin Changkong, the general manager, did not agree.
In his opinion, director Li Zhuo has much better control over the dark style than he does.
The editing effect is far better than the first one.
In addition to the influence bonus of the first part, the second part only got the same price as the first part, which is very unjustifiable.
After all, in terms of expenses, Li Zhuo also spends money, and the second part is also better than the first one, reaching about 200 million.
It’s not that the actors’ prices will increase as they become big names, but that the cost of filming and special effects will increase.
The three main actors, Li Yingzhi, Yan Yu and Zhou Lexiang, still have the same salary as before, and they are also very polite on the crew.
Because they all understand that "Yue Yu" has made them what they are today. As long as they can continue to shine in it, they will have more opportunities to make money in the future. They don't need to care about this little time at all. Don't worry about it. A little money.
What's more, Fengxiang Film and Television has never treated them badly.
After the rights to the first part of "The Prison" were sold, Xin Changkong, on behalf of his bosses Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, gave Li Yingzhi and Yan Yu a 10 million red envelope each, and Zhou Lexiang also received 5 million.
If you are affectionate, I will be righteous.
So they signed a contract for five "Yue Yu" series, and the salary was calculated based on the first one.
Even their managers didn't say anything, for fear that they would kick out their actors if they made a fuss.
Back to the topic.
The second buyout agreement given by the eldest princess in May directly priced at RMB 900 million.
It stands to reason that this price is very sincere, 100 million more than the previous 800 million.
But Xin Changkong thought about it, the copyright fee for the first "Yue Yu" sold globally was US$100 million, making Shanhai.com both famous and wealthy.
Now that the quality of the second one is even better, why can’t the price be raised a little
But his idea was rejected by Shen Huan, and he finally signed the contract for 900 million yuan.
Fengxiang Film and Television earned an additional RMB 700 million in gross profit margin, making countless film and television companies jealous.
Originally, Xin Changkong didn't think it was anything.
At that time, he happily paid another bonus of more than 80 million yuan to the crew.
Director Li Zhuo's team alone received 20 million, and the rest of the ordinary staff also received a share.
One hundred and eighty thousand is not enough to buy a house, but it is still very useful to improve your life.
However, when "Yue Jiao 2" started airing in August, because of its excellent plot, excellent actors, excellent directors, excellent production effects... etc., "Yue Jiao 2" became the most popular movie in the world this summer. TV series.
"Yue Yu 2" has 30 episodes, one episode is broadcast every two days, lasting from early August to the end of September.
In the past ten days, every time Shanhai.com aired a new episode, the website would go down.
Because there were so many people crowding in, more than 300 million people from all over the world came to Shanhai.com to watch "Yue Yu 2".
The number of views in 48 hours reached 700 million.
This is the number of views per episode! !
With such an amazing effect, advertising fees are secondary.
The biggest beneficiary is the IPO price of Shanhai.com and the trend of its stock after its listing.
Under the extremely powerful driving force of "Yue Yu 2", Shanhai.com's stock price has greatly improved.
Although it cannot be said that the increase of 40 billion US dollars is caused by "The Prison 2", at least the effect of 10 billion US dollars is still there.
Seeing that Shanhaiwang had gained so much, Xin Changkong felt a little unbalanced.
He had chatted with Shen Huan several times in the past few days, asking whether he should ask Shanhai.com for bonuses or something.
Shen Huan naturally refused without hesitation.
After reaching an agreement, how well someone sells it depends on someone else's luck and wealth.
Everyone must bear the consequences of their own decisions.
To use a saying in the casino, it is your own business to win or lose.
Shanhai.com is making money now. If they lose money, would you agree to ask Fengxiang Film and Television to pay some compensation
Of course I won’t agree!
Therefore, you can't talk about this matter, otherwise your reputation will be ruined.
Not only that, Shen Huan also asked Xin Changkong to organize the crew of "Yue Yu 2" and make several congratulatory videos to celebrate Shanhai.com's successful listing and huge profits.
Only in this way can we show the broad mind of Fengxiang Film and Television!
