Chapter 44 Shocked friends
In the conference room, Li Xiang, president of Sohu Video Department, said to Zhang Chaoyang: "Mr. Zhang, the risk of 400,000 yuan per episode is too great."
Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand and said: "Just make a friend."
It's too expensive to make friends..., Li Xiang couldn't complain.
……
Outside the gate of Sohu Company.
"Old Lin is now a rich man in the school!" Li Jiahang sighed. With a net worth of nearly 12 million, he can already beat the rich second generation in the school who have not yet mastered the family property.
And Li Jiahang is sure that he is indeed an ordinary person. He may sell it when iQiyi offers 3 million. He can't wait for Zhang Chaoyang's sky-high price of 12 million.
Lin Gao calculated his income, which was RMB 400,000 per episode and a total of 29 episodes, totaling RMB 11.6 million.
Deducting the RMB 1.5 million that is tax-free due to production costs, the remaining RMB 10.1 million needs to pay 25% tax, leaving a profit of RMB 7.575 million.
I feel so bad that I have to pay 2.5 million in taxes.
No! Love the party, love the country, and love paying taxes.
He can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
The profit of 7.575 million also included a 5% share from Tangren Film and Television, leaving him with an income of 7.2 million in the end.
“I can only buy a slightly better house in Shanghai.” Lin Gao replied to Li Jiahang.
"Do you want to buy one?" Li Jiahang said angrily. He hasn't even saved up the money for the bathroom in Shanghai yet!
“Let’s go!” Lin Gao waved his hand and said.
"Where are we going?" Li Jiahang asked.
“Take the bus, transfer to the subway, go to the airport and go back to Shanghai.” Lin Gao replied.
“Can’t you take a taxi to the airport after making so much money?” Li Jiahang said angrily.
Lin Gao said with a smile: "I want to experience the difference between the mood of millionaires and ordinary people when taking the subway and bus."
Li Jiahang: "..."
...
The next day, Sohu publicized the purchase of an online drama costing RMB 400,000 per episode. After all, money cannot be spent quietly, and publicity must keep up.
The wave of public opinion was the first to rush into the related online drama industry. The price of an episode of 400,000 yuan set a new ceiling for the industry, making relevant practitioners full of hope.
"The price is 400,000 yuan! I couldn't even think about it when I first entered the industry in 2006."
"I heard that this is Lin Gao's first time as a director and his first time filming an online drama!"
>
"A genius, a genius. The first time he made an online TV series, he sold it for such a high price. How can he pay it off in the future?"
"It's too early to say that the online TV series has not been released yet. , I don’t know what the effect will be, maybe Sohu was taken advantage of?”
“That’s right”
The reporter circle followed up with reports. How could they not get involved in major events in the online drama circle?
“The mysterious gold digger in the online drama circle, one web drama sold for a sky-high price of more than 10 million yuan.”
“Sohu spent more than 10 million yuan, setting a new upper limit for the price of online dramas . ”
“A new round of price war for online dramas has begun. Can Sohu become the biggest winner?”
……
Relevant reports occupy a relatively important part of the public opinion section, because the news is relatively sudden, and the focus of the content is on Sohu and the online drama.
Because there is very little information about Lin Gao on the Internet, they only found limited information.
The click-through rate of the relevant news that night surprised the entertainment reporters who wrote about it. The person in charge of the section immediately decided to do an exclusive interview with Lin Gao.
The person in charge of the section said confidently: "The combination of keywords such as young, rich, and student will definitely attract more clicks."
When Lin Gao arrived in Shanghai, he first went to Tangren Film and Television Company and transferred the profit of 380,000 to Cai Yinong.
Cai Yinong's expression was slightly stagnant, and he asked Lin Gao in disbelief: "How much did you say you sold it for?"
"11.6 million." Lin Gaoyi Repeat word for word.
“What’s your shooting cost?” Cai Yinong couldn’t help but ask.
“About 1.5 million.”
Cai Yinong and Li Guoli looked at each other. What is the concept of nearly eight times the income? The cost and income of Jiansan are less than twice.
"It's too profitable to make online dramas now." Li Guoli smiled bitterly. The income he earned from filming Sword Three for all his hard work was not much higher than Lin Gao's online drama. In this case, why should he make a TV drama?
"It's just good luck. This price is already the highest price for online dramas now." Lin Gao waved his hand and said.
Cai Yinong and Li Guoli agreed, their expressions felt a little better, and they just kept lamenting Lin Gao's good luck.
Yang Mi learned the news from Huang Xiaoming.
Huang Xiaoming excitedly said to Yang Mi: "The kid you introduced to me last time is very powerful. The web series he shot sold for a sky-high price of 10 million, which is awesome!"
Yang Miyi She was confused at first and then had a vague premonition. She asked tentatively: "You mean Lin Gao?"
"Yes!" Huang Xiaoming looked at the confused Yang Mi and asked: "You still haven't Do you know?”
“The little things that this guy shot were sold to Sohu for more than 10 million! The online drama circle was as busy as the Chinese New Year these two days.”
“I watched it at that time. There are things that this guy shoots and he can make money, but we just met him once and he was too embarrassed to mention investment.”
"I still didn't see that the income would be so high, otherwise I would try it shamelessly!"
The more Yang Mi listened to Huang Xiaoming's words, the more she regretted it. You must know that Lin Gao had asked her if she wanted to invest. !
I am really stupid, really.... ,
How much money did you make less?
Huang Xiaoming looked at the silent Yang Mi thoughtfully, and reminded Yang Mi with a smile: "My salary only accounts for 25% of my total assets, and the other 50% comes from investment. .”
"Actors must learn to invest, invest in people, invest in stocks, and invest in film and television products."
Yang Mi took a deep breath and thanked: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Ming."
In the evening, Yang Mi After returning to the hotel, she dialed Lin Gao's number. After the prompt tone ended, Yang Mi couldn't help but said angrily: "Boss Lin is now a rich man. An online drama sells for more than 10 million."
"I asked you at that time, it was you who refused to invest."
"You..." Yang Mi's heart was bleeding, she took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing: "We set up a company. Still counting? ”
"But my fame has not surpassed yours." Lin Gao said unexpectedly.
"That's not important anymore, I'm willing to cooperate." Yang Mi said calmly. Huang Xiaoming's words changed Yang Mi's mind.
She clearly understood that she did not have an excellent business vision and needed to find a partner who could complement her. She saw the possibility in Lin Gao.
"Of course." Of course Lin Gao would not refuse. Yang Mi's ability to attract money has been proven, and she is a woman who can risk her life for money.
The most important thing is that Yang Mi has a very good view of the overall situation. She will never do anything that steps on the red line and you can always trust her.
The two discussed finding an opportunity to meet and discuss the specific charter and content, but they couldn't explain a word or two on the phone.
