Walking to the door leading to the backyard, Cindy Crawford turned her head and took a look. Eric and Terry Semel had already chatted, and pushed the door and walked out.
Near noon, the late autumn sunshine filled the vast manor, and the temperature at the end of October had dropped below 20 degrees, and even the sunlight seemed a little pale due to the drop in temperature. Although the lawn in the yard and the surrounding shrubs used as fences are all evergreen plants, there are also pieces of dead leaves at this time, and they are no longer so full of life.
Although Cindy doesn't like this kind of cold environment, but looking at it, the autumn sky looks very low, and behind a few white clouds is a breathtaking azure blue. Just looking over the fence not far away, it seems that you can see To the sky, this kind of open artistic conception makes people feel a sense of comfort. Cindy can't help stretching his body lazily, and asks the maid who is cleaning up the dead leaves by the fence to find out where Joanna is going. Lawn, walk towards the place where several fiery red maple trees grow near the sea.
Joanna was sitting under the fiery red maple tree, with a thick booklet on her lap, surrounded by two small figures, who seemed to be collecting maple leaves.
Seeing Cindy approaching, Joanna waved at her and smiled, then took a maple leaf from Kevin, patiently commented with the little guy in a low voice, and then put it in the booklet on her lap.
It was less than eleven o'clock, and Cindy didn't rush to convey Eric's instructions. Looking at the thick maple leaves on the ground, she sat down next to Joanna and said, "These maple trees are so beautiful. , um, it’s a maple tree, the trunk doesn’t look the same as the ones I’ve seen before?”
Joanna nodded, pointed to the holes drilled in the trunk, and said, "It's a sugar maple. In spring, you can use the sap to make maple syrup."
"Oh, so this is the sugar maple," Cindy suddenly looked at the small holes in the trunk. The sugar content of maple syrup is very low, and it is not easy to make people fat. It is a very favorite food for women, and she often eats it. At this time, it is the first time to recognize the sugar maple tree that produces maple syrup.
"There's maple syrup specially brewed this year at home, you can try it at noon," Joanna said, seeing Hawaii running over with a leaf, took the maple leaf in her daughter's hand, looked at it, and said softly: " Baby, this leaf seems to have been crawled over by bugs, look, the traces on it are ugly, look for it again."
Hawaii looked along the mother's finger, still curious: "Mom, why do these things appear on the leaves when insects crawl over them?"
Joanna vaguely remembered that the secretions left by some insects crawled through had corroded the leaves with ugly marks, so she explained in a low voice in a language that Hawaii could understand, and then opened the curious little guy.
Cindy has been listening to Joanna's words, waiting for Hawaii to run away again, and said: "Joan, you are really patient."
Joanna smiled, looking tenderly at the little figure picking up the maple leaves, as if looking at the whole world. After a while, she asked Cindy, "How did you talk with Eric?"
Cindy nodded and said, "I plan to make another season of the show in the spring, and he has already agreed."
Since she came to visit on purpose, there must be a reason, and Cindy's reason was not perfunctory at all.
As the ratings of "American Model Contest" became more and more popular, Cindy became a little worried during this time.
After getting the project in hand, Cindy asked her private accountant to calculate her possible income in detail based on the 10% sharing contract.
According to the accountant's calculations, the passing line of ratings data for which she can get more rewards is similar to that calculated by Lietime TV, which is 1.5 million. Below this ratings data, she can only get a guaranteed minimum salary of 800,000 US dollars, and this is what she won at the initial contract drafting stage. At that time, she was a little proud, because as far as she knew, Linda's Fool, I didn't think of this at all, so there is no guaranteed minimum salary clause in the contract. If the ratings are not satisfactory and the project fails to generate profits, her months of work will be wasted.
But it was also the original contract that made her feel like she was in a cocoon now.
Rigorous business contracts, rights and obligations have always been equal.
Because of the guaranteed minimum salary clause at the beginning, Lietime TV also added a bargaining right to the contract. It was agreed that the two parties could re-negotiate the salary in the second season of the program. This is also the condition Lietime TV offered to ensure the production of the sequel. Yes, if the ratings of "American Model Contest" don't explode, but still reach the TV station's standard for making a sequel, then they also hope that Cindy can join the show with a lower guaranteed salary in the next season. The two parties have even reached a 5o in private $10,000 guarantee.
In a chat with Linda once, Cindy said that if she could get a profit share of 00,000 US dollars by virtue of "American Model Contest", she would be very satisfied. This is what she came up with after working in the TV industry for several years more realistic results.
In order to get $00,000 from this project, the number of viewers of "America's Model Contest" needs to reach 2.5 million. Since the average viewership of Lietime TV station was less than 1 million, Cindy was not interested in this goal. There are too many expectations.
But now, the ratings results of the two programs are far beyond everyone's expectations.
Take the latest episode of "America's Model Contest" that she is in charge of, the highest ratings have reached 4.6 million. Moreover, with the continuous expansion of the number of subscribers of Lietime TV station in the future and the continued spread of the program's influence, Lietime TV station's internal It has even been predicted that the highest ratings of the program may even exceed 6 million, and the average ratings of the whole season will not be lower than 4.5 million.
According to the price floating contract signed by Lietime TV station and advertisers, the average advertising fee per second is 50,000 U.S. dollars for 1.5 million viewers, and the average number of viewers is 4.5 million. Therefore, the advertising fee will triple. After a complete episode is broadcast, Lietime TV station will The advertising fee alone will bring in $60 million in revenue, and the follow-up syndicated distribution and dvd and other messy revenues will bring in no less than 60 million. A project with a production cost of $20 million will eventually come 120 million in revenue.
Excluding the production cost of 2 million US dollars, the net profit has reached at least 100 million US dollars.
For 100 million US dollars, according to the 10% share, Cindy can get 10 million US dollars. Even Hollywood first-line actresses can get 10 million US dollars every year, and there will never be more than ten.
So, now comes the problem.
