Chapter 231 6000W
Although "The Witch in Suit" was also sold to local stations, the price sold to local stations was very different from that of Shangxing Satellite TV.
For provincial local stations, the price of an episode is usually between 1-3W, and the specific amount is linked to the market share of the TV station.
If it is a municipal local station, the price of one episode is between 1-5K.
For example, if it is a provincial capital and municipal TV station like Jiangcheng, the price of an episode can be close to 5K.
If it is a TV station in other prefecture-level cities, it will be between 1-3K.
For another example, "The Witch in Suit" was broadcast on Zhejiang J Science and Technology Education Channel, a provincial-level local station. Since Zhejiang J Science and Technology Education Channel has the highest viewership share among all provincial-level local Taichung stations in all provinces in the country. Channel, "Witch Sui" also sold 20,000 episodes.
The total number of episodes is 20, totaling 400,000 for one drama.
The price of selling the entire "Witch in Suit" to Zhejiang J Science and Technology Education Channel, a provincial local station, is equivalent to the price of selling one episode to satellite TV stations such as Mango TV and Capital TV.
Not to mention that the price of a municipal local station is only a few thousand per episode, which is far less than that of the satellite TV stations.
And this is why the first purpose of TV series production is to seek stardom.
Although video websites already existed in 2006, piracy was rampant. This was not the era ten years later when TV series could be sold to video websites in addition to TV stations.
During this period, the biggest sales channel for TV dramas was television stations.
Although DVDs and overseas copyrights also generate profits.
However, compared with selling to a TV station, it is much worse.
Not to mention, whether overseas copyrights can be sold and whether the price can be high enough also depends on the popularity of the TV series produced after it is broadcast in the production place.
In short, the TV series you produce can only make money if they get stars.
If it becomes popular after becoming a star, there will be even more other benefits.
Other than that, you can either make a small profit, protect your capital, or lose money.
In 2006, more than 500 TV series were produced in China throughout the year. Popular dramas such as "Qiao's Courtyard" are really making a lot of money.
But compared with the revenue and investment of the entire industry, it is losing money.
Of course, the TV station must be collecting money.
Although "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is considered a drama on YangTV, it still requires money to purchase the copyright for a set to be broadcast on YangTV.
Investment is investment, issuance is issuance, these are two different things.
The price is 70W/set, exclusive.
The entire drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has a total of 72 episodes, totaling 50.4 million.
Copyright term, three years.
The investment for this drama is 50 million, with China Film accounting for 45%, Yangshi accounting for 30%, and One Tree accounting for 25%.
5040W, only 1260W is allocated to Yishu Company.
In the preparation stage, Wang Shu invested 5 million in funds, as well as the script and his director's remuneration, which only accounted for 25% of the share.
In other words, excluding the script and director's remuneration, and removing the 5 million investment, only 760 W is left.
With his status at the time, the script plus director's salary was only worth two million at most.
The cost is around 700W at most.
1260W, after removing the cost of 700W, there is still 560W.
He has already made money just by selling the copyright to Yangshi.
When the copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in Yangyang expires, it can be sold again.
Although the price will be greatly reduced, there will always be income in the future.
Furthermore, with the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea may all sell the copyright, which is another income.
When video websites such as Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Youku emerge, the copyrights can also be sold to these websites.
Of course, there are also videos of watching.
When sold to these websites, the copyright term will not be set in the form of a buyout.
Instead, you will participate in the advertising revenue sharing of video websites in the form of clicks.
However, no matter what, the most profitable thing is the sight.
For a popular drama like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the advertising revenue alone is enough for Yangshi to make a lot of money, not to mention that Yangshi is also one of the investors, and he and Yiyi Trees Company equally participates in the copyright revenue sharing.
In fact, producers and TV stations can also cooperate by participating in the advertising sharing model.
It's just that Yang Wang didn't want to do this, and instead made a bid to buy the copyright.
Obviously, Yang Shi is not stupid. For a big drama, the price per episode is at most around 65W.
If the producers were allowed to participate in advertising sharing, the price would not be this.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" was released on Yangshi in mid-October. Although Yishu Company can theoretically receive 12.6 million W, it currently has no money.
There is a cycle, usually 3-6 months.
In other words, for this 1260W, Wang Shu’s Yishu Company will see money in February 2007 at the earliest, or in May 2007 at the latest.
The same is true for "Witch in Sui Yi". We won't see the money until April or May next year.
As for "Time Traveler", it invested 20 million and earned 270 million at the box office of mainland theaters.
The producers can only get roughly 31% of the 270 million, which is 83.7 million.
Yishu Company accounts for 40% and China Film Group accounts for 60%.
The amount that Wang Shu can get is 40% of 8370W, which is 3348W.
This amount is only a share of the box office of "Space Traveler" in mainland cinemas, and does not include other extended copyrights and income from overseas copyrights.
In 2006 alone, Wang Shu produced and released works such as "The Tuner", "Space Traveler", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Witch Youxi", and "My Love from the Star" .
Among them, "My Love from the Star" was only broadcast on local stations and was not rated as a star, so it could not be counted.
"Secret Garden" has not been broadcast yet, so it does not count.
Wang Shu only accounted for 15% of the 160 million box office of "The Tuner", with a revenue of nearly 8 million.
"Space Traveler" has a box office of 270 million, with Wang Shu accounting for 40%, 33.48W.
"Witch Youxi", solely produced by four satellite TV stations and four local stations, 3350W.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan", Wang Shu only holds 25%, 1260W.
Total, 8758W.
After deducting the investment cost, it is roughly 7000W.
After deducting the company's expenses, the profit is around 6000W.
This 6000W is not fixed, it is just the first wave of profits. Later, whether it is "The Tuner", "Space Traveler", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", or "The Witch Youxi", it will be through various On the other hand, Wang Shu continued to generate income.
Of course, this 6000W profit is only theoretical.
Because, apart from the more than 7 million earned by "The Tuner", Wang Shu has not yet seen the profits earned by works such as "Time Traveler".
In 2006, after so much hard work, they only made 60 million dollars in profit in one year.
To be honest, Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li only starred in "Memoirs of a Geisha", and each of them earned millions of dollars. The remuneration, converted into RMB, is also tens of millions.
Coupled with income from endorsements, business cooperation and other income, his income even exceeds that of Wang Shu.
The difference is that the income of an actor in this industry is equivalent to a wave of money earned.
Producers like Wang Shu, who hold the copyright, can continue to make profits in a steady stream and in many aspects.
It seems to be only 6000W, but in fact if the subsequent income in the next few years is accumulated, the income can be nearly 200 million.
Moreover, you can continue to earn income from copyright in a few years.
As long as you hold the copyright, you hold the hen that lays the eggs.
It’s just that the hens in the film and television industry will lay eggs again. Compared to the economic boom after 2008, it’s just like that.
Because in that era, many more profitable fields had emerged than the film and television industry. In 2023, the total movie box office revenue for the year will be 54.9 billion.
Xiaomi, a company that doesn’t even have a factory, has annual revenue of 197.7 billion.
Tencent, 453.8 billion.
Goudong, 247.6 billion.
Leaving aside Tencent, Alibaba, JD.com and other companies that debuted earlier, which company, such as Xiaomi, Pinxixi, Byte, MiHoYo, etc., has not had the highest revenue in the film field? Annual revenue?
Xiaomi, Pinxixi, MiHoYo, and ByteDance’s Douyin are all companies that only emerged 10 years later.
2007, January 1, New Year’s Day.
It’s another day off.
Except for a few employees of Yishu Company who are on duty, all other employees are on vacation.
Most front-line practitioners in the film and television industry do not have statutory holidays.
Whether you take a holiday or not depends on whether you have any work to do that day.
As the boss, Wang Shu has the final say whether he takes a holiday or not.
He, right now.
"Director Wang, what are you busy with?" Fan Binbin dialed Wang Shu's phone and asked.
“Nothing to do, just reading at home.” Wang Shu was actually sitting in front of the computer surfing the Internet at this time.
In 2008, there will be a financial crisis.
For those who don’t know, it is likely that they will go to the rooftop because of this.
But. For Wang Shu, this is an opportunity to buy at the bottom.
As long as you operate well enough, you will be rich soon.
For example, Apple, during the 2008 financial crisis, fell by 80%, with the lowest price per share being only $3.33
By 2012, the lowest price was $66.76 per share.
By 2018, the lowest price per share is US$148.05.
By 2023, the lowest price will be US$192.53 per share.
The price was the lowest in 2008, and 4 years later, the price increased 20 times.
10 years later, it will increase 45 times.
15 years later, it increased 58 times.
In short, if Wang Shu had purchased $100 million in Apple stock in 2008, it would have been worth $5.8 billion in 15 years.
Of course, if he spends $100 million to buy Apple's stock, it will inevitably drive up Apple's stock price, requiring a higher purchase cost, and its final value will also shrink as a result.
Yes. Even if there is not 5.8 billion U.S. dollars, there can still be 40 or 5 billion U.S. dollars.
Not to mention his purchase of stocks. During the financial crisis, some people who are not brave enough will also sell their stocks. He may also buy them at a low price this time.
All in all, with an investment of US$100 million, 15 years later, it will be at least US$4.5 billion.
4.5 billion US dollars, in 2023, will be 31.5 billion yuan.
It is undeniable that this is an ideal state, but it is also just an example.
During the 2008 financial crisis, Apple was not the only company that was affected, Microsoft and many other companies were all affected.
If Wang Shu had $100 million to invest in the stock market, he would not buy all of Apple’s shares, but would purchase shares of many companies in a diversified manner.
In this way, it will not be noticeable.
Although, taking Apple as an example, it only takes 15 years to grow 58 times.
However, Wang Shu would not really hold it for fifteen years.
Instead, they will sell stocks to cash out at the right time, and then use the cashed out funds to invest in other industries.
For example, MiHoYo.
In 2012, Jin Zhicheng, one of the shareholders of MiHoYo, received an offer from Cisco and chose to withdraw from the company, transferring 13% of his equity to other founders for 13,000 yuan.
Wang Shu felt that he This kind person can do it, double it 10 times, and see if he can get it for 13W.
13W doesn’t work, 26W doesn’t work, 26W doesn’t work, 80W.
As long as the money is in place, it is always possible.
Then, MiHoYo ran out of 100,000 yuan of start-up capital, and immediately began to think of ways to raise funds for an angel round. After hitting the wall dozens of times, 15% of the equity was given out with 1 million yuan of capital.
Wang Shu felt that he, a kind man, might be able to get the 15% stake again at a price of 1.5 million.
In this way, he will own more than 20% of the equity after the angel round.
With an investment of only two to three million, in a few years, even if MiHoYo continues to raise capital to dilute its equity, it will still be worth several billion.
"Are you reading?" Fan Binbin smiled softly when he heard this.
She had no doubts about Wang Shu reading.
In her opinion, since Wang Shu is a director who can write scripts, it is normal for him to read books to enrich himself.
"It's New Year's Day, do you want to come out? I'll treat you to dinner."
"Don't you have anything to do?" Wang Shu was a little surprised when he heard this.
Celebrities like Fan Binbin, even if they don’t do acupuncture during New Year’s Day, they also have various other activities.
Even if there is no such thing, there is still entertainment.
Why would you ask him to go out for dinner?
"Haha." Fan Binbin smiled when he heard this and said, "I have been working too much recently, so I want to take a break."
"But...it's only these two days, and soon it will be over again You have to get busy.”
Even if Fan Binbin is targeted by Hua Yi, Wang Shu will not have any doubts about her words.
After New Year's Day, it is approaching the New Year.
As one of the four double skaters, Fan Binbin will be invited to many activities even if he is not filming.
She really wasn't lying.
"Okay, where are you? I'll pick you up." Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Huh? Have you bought a car?" Fan Binbin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized what he said.
Wang Shu replied with a smile: "I bought it long ago."
"Well, come and pick me up." Fan Binbin said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shu simply packed up, then went out and drove to the address Fan Binbin said.
Fan Binbin waited for Wang Shu, sat in the passenger seat, and joked with a smile: "Finally bought a car?"
Wang Shu responded helplessly: "I didn't have a driver's license before. I have never bought a car.”
“Now that I have my driver’s license, I will naturally buy a car.”
When Fan Binbin heard this, he didn't ask Wang Shu why he bought an Audi A6L.
She could roughly guess Wang Shu's mentality. He didn't want to be high-profile, nor did he want to be too bad, so she would naturally buy a moderate car.
"Where to eat?" Wang Shu looked at Fan Binbin and asked immediately.
When Fan Binbin heard this, he thought about it first, and then said: "It's still early, how about you take me for a walk first, and then think about where to eat?"
"Okay. "Wang Shu is a good old man and did not refuse Fan Binbin's request, but readily agreed.
Then he took Fan Binbin for a drive in his car.
It’s not considered a ride
Because Wang Shu had other purposes during this period.
He wants to buy a villa.
During this winter, the trees are all bare and there are no leaves blocking the view, so I just happened to take a look along the way.
