Chapter 288: Making Big Money (Supplement)
"[A Slight Smile Is Allure] is now in its second week, with 12 episodes aired. This week’s ratings hit a new high, reaching 2.135.
< br>Tengxun Video has more than 3 billion views on the Internet.
Whether it is online discussion or Baidu index, it is far ahead of other TV series in the same period. "
In the office, Yang Liwen. Face excitedly reported to Gu Wei the results achieved so far in [A Slight Smile Is Alluring].
Gu Wei looked at the more detailed data list in his hand and smiled.
These were all within his expectations. It can only be said that everything developed as expected.
“Boss, looking at the current online broadcast volume and growth trend, [Weiwei]’s final broadcast volume is very likely to exceed 9 billion.
By then we will complete the cooperation with Tengxun Video If you bet, you can get the highest-end movie purchase fee of 6 million per episode, a total of 180 million.”
If you say that other gains in fame are intangible, the money brought by this broadcast volume is tangible. In what can be seen.
When selling the film, Gu Wei ignored all opinions and chose to sign a gambling-like ladder agreement with Tengxun Video. Now it looks like it will be a great success.
“I’m not surprised at all that we can get the highest-end movie purchase fees. 9 billion views is definitely not the end of Weiwei. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before it exceeds 10 billion.”
Gu Wei said lightly.
On the opposite side, Yang Liwen didn't think he was talking big words at all. Gu Wei's record since joining the industry has been too brilliant, and TV dramas have become huge hits. [Wei Wei] has only continued this glory.
“Boss, various TV stations have contacted us and want to win the rights to screen the second round of [A Smile Is Alluring]. Do you want to see it?”
"What's the price?"
"Mango Channel is the highest, with 1.5 million per episode for the second round of solo broadcast, and Jingcheng Channel and Lychee Channel for dual broadcast, each with 1 million per episode."
Gu Wei thought about it for a moment and then decided to sell it to Jingcheng Terrace and Lizhi Terrace in the second round. The difference was 15 million. What kind of friendship could be worth 15 million.
"You have always had a good relationship with Mango Channel before. Will there be any problems if you reject them twice this time?"
Yang Liwen was a little worried. After all, it was Mango Channel, which is located in Taichung. The real boss has a great say in the entertainment industry.
"General producers are definitely at a disadvantage in front of TV stations, but we have already built up our reputation, and with me here, we will not have to worry about selling future TV series.
Without him, Mango Channel will still have There are Blueberry Channel, Lychee Channel, Jingcheng Channel, Shansheng Channel, etc.
As long as the work is good enough and can bring ratings to the TV station, some TV stations will buy it.
Believe it or not, Although our drama has helped Blueberry Channel overtake Mango Channel, when my next drama comes out, Mango Channel will still come to buy the drama with money."
Gu Wei said with confidence.
Ordinary producers cannot guarantee ratings, and selling films depends entirely on past reputation and relationships with TV stations.
You are like those who make anti-Japanese dramas and vulgar idol dramas. Why can you sell them for money in the end and shoot one after another?
They all have people in the film purchasing department of the TV station, so they don’t have to worry about sales.
But after all, you are controlled by others. If they are not satisfied or the relationship is tense, the drama in your hand will immediately become worthless.
Gu Wei is different. His past records prove that as long as the TV series in which he appears is a guarantee of ratings, the championship in the same period is just a daily operation, and the annual drama king is the real goal.
And his dramas are not short of investment. No matter how much the TV station spends to buy them, the cost can be earned from advertisers.
How much you can earn in the end depends on how popular it becomes after it is broadcast.
So, as a high-quality content producer, he can now control TV stations. After all, there are dozens of local satellite TV stations, and everyone is competing.
Similarly, Gu Wei also has this relationship with them regarding the video playback platform.
As long as Gu Wei continues to succeed and his golden body is not broken, he can always take the initiative in this relationship.
Unless the TV series he shoots one day hits the market after it is broadcast, he will naturally fall from the altar, and the platform will consider many aspects when purchasing movies.
【A Slight Smile Is Alluring】 has a different meaning to Gu Wei and his company.
Although the two TV series he previously participated in [Gu Jian Qi Tan] and [Shan Shan Is Coming] were also popular on the Internet, his identity was only a starring role, with a little investment, but not much. Earn some pocket money, mainly to improve your reputation.
[Wei Wei] is a TV series independently invested and produced by his company, and all the income goes into his own pocket. In terms of embedded advertising in TV series, in addition to the fixed costs of 14 companies totaling 42 million.
Since the number of online broadcasts has exceeded 3 billion, NetEase, which has signed a tiered sharing agreement, has to pay 30 million advertising fees to [Wei Tianxia] for the product placement of [A Chinese Ghost Story].
The total is 72 million.
Blueberry Channel’s purchase fee for an episode is 3.5 million, a total of 105 million.
Tengxun Video is calculated at 6 million per episode, and the total purchase fee is 180 million.
Now after the second round of sales, another 60 million can be recorded.
[A slight smile is charming] The estimated revenue is 417 million, the cost is 50 million, and the profit is 367 million.
This income is basically comparable to [Legend of Wu Mei Niang] and [Flower Thousand Bones].
It is not as good as [Flower Thousand Bones] in terms of peripheral development, and it is not as good as [Legend of Wu Mei Niang] in terms of TV sales, but [Wei Wei]'s cost and shooting cycle are much less than them.
There will be three rounds of broadcast rights in the future, and even the sales of foreign copyrights, peripheral operations, etc., where there can be income.
These are just gains in actual benefits.
As the first self-produced TV series of "Wei Tianxia" to be broadcast on stars, "A Smiling Smile Is Alluring" has helped the company gain fame on the TV station platform.
Although the previous productions "Prince Concubine's Promotion" and "Yu Zui" are also popular, they are all web dramas after all.
[Wei Wei], as the first star drama, can be said to have allowed the TV station to truly see the strength of [Wei Tianxia].
Even if Gu Wei does not star in subsequent TV series produced by the company, some TV stations will consider cooperating with them.
In the afternoon, Mr. Sun Zhonghuai from Tengxun Video called.
The two exchanged a few polite words and congratulated each other on the TV series' success.
After that, Sun Zhonghuai proposed to cooperate with Gu Wei's company to shoot some online dramas specially provided by Tengxun Video.
Nowadays, due to the popularity of [A Slight Smile Is Charming] on the Internet, the exclusively broadcast Tengxun video can be said to have attracted a lot of traffic.
But other platforms are not helpless.
Although "Tomb Robbery Notes" launched by Kiwi and "Wuxin Master" from Sohu Video cannot be compared with "Weiwei" in terms of playback volume and popularity, they still occupy the market due to their good quality. a place.
What particularly worries Sun Zhonghuai is that "Tomb Robbers Notes" is a joint production between Qiguoguo and "Happy Century", and "Wuxin Master" is a joint production between Sohu Video and [Sugarman Film and Television].
In other words, these two online dramas are special dramas for the two platforms, and it is useless for other platforms to pay for them.
And both of these dramas can be filmed as sequels. As long as the audience buys the first one, filming and broadcasting can continue to continue to attract traffic to the platform.
Sun Zhonghuai feels that Tengxun Video also needs this kind of special drama, or even his own homemade drama.
And Gu Wei’s [Wei Tianxia] is the best partner right now.
Two online dramas, "Prince Princess's Promotion", "Yu Zui", and "A Little Smile Is Alluring", and one star drama have all become hits, which can prove the excellent vision and excellent production capabilities of "Wei Ming Xia".
Gu Wei was also interested in Sun Zhonghuai's proposal, but since the matter was serious, he did not agree casually, but said he would consider it.
Mr. Sun also understands that if the two companies decide to cooperate, it will affect the development direction of Guwei Company in the next few years and should be carefully considered.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei thought for a long time alone in the office, and finally decided to wait until Zhao Mingcheng, the general manager of the film and television company, came back, and the company's upper management would discuss it collectively before making a decision.
[Wei Tomorrow] has developed to this level, and there is no doubt that Gu Wei has played a role in it, but without the full cooperation of others, Gu Wei alone can drive a few nails with a piece of iron.
Gu Wei always likes to listen to other people's opinions. Of course, the final decision must be made by him, the big boss.
His decisions in the company were never questioned by anyone.
