Chapter 255: Big Dog! (Three Watches)

The headquarters of Shanhai.com is in Huajing, but if you are filming, especially costume dramas, of course, Hengdian in Zhejiang and Yue is the most suitable.

After decades of development, a complete industrial chain has been formed.

Not only are ancient buildings everywhere, but all kinds of entertainers and behind-the-scenes personnel are also everywhere, at least tens of thousands of people.

There are hundreds of movies and TV series filmed in Hengdian every year.

If it's a low-budget production, you only need to bring the director, the hero and heroine, and the camera, and you can find everything else in Hengdian.

"Water Margin", which was broadcast during the Spring Festival this year, was the TV series with the largest investment in history, and half of the scenes were filmed in Hengdian at that time.

But in less than half a year, a "Young Di Renjie" from Shanhai.com broke the record of "Water Margin".

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the production cost of 1 million episodes that were disclosed, without calculating any salary, is the highest of all TV drama production costs.

According to some insiders, to be able to invite a little diva in the film industry like Buyiyi to play the heroine, Shanhai.com has come up with a "price that people can't refuse".

Some people guess that it is 5 million, some people guess 8 million, and some people guess 10 million.

Because screenwriter Lan Xin took 3 million and director Zhou Pu received 10 million remuneration, it has been revealed.

Just by looking at this handwriting, you know that the heroine Buyiyi must be a lot, and she definitely took a fat contract.

Then, and then there is Sister Xiaofeng, who everyone loves.

After "Love Letter", I don't know how many youth movies have asked Shen Huan to be the leading actor, but I remember that the highest one given at that time actually had a film contract of 5 million for one play.

But Shen Huan didn't go at all, didn't even answer the phone, and didn't reply to text messages.

Later, people saw how much money Sister Xiaofeng made in music, and only then did they know why people were not interested in the 5 million film contract.

A song is 2 million, isn't it faster than filming?

When Shen Huan donated more than 50 million in the album income of "The Love of My Life", all the producers and film company bosses did not hope to impress Shen Huan with money.

Unexpectedly, Shanhai.com announced in May that the actor of "Young Di Renjie" was Shen Huan, Shen Huan of "unparalleled beauty in the world", and "Sister Xiaofeng".

From this, it can be seen how much the producers and film company bosses, including the owners of the TV series production companies who never dared to ask Shen Huan to act in a TV series, are in their hearts.

Piggy!

How much does it cost Shanhai.com to invite Shen Huan?

20 million?

30 million?

Or is there something else?

Otherwise, if it's just money, with Shen Huan's character of not liking to show his face, he will definitely not want to join.

But anyway, because of the news of "Young Di Renjie", the joining of Shen Huan, and the joining of Buyiyi, on the homepage of Shanhai.com, the number of VIP users of "Young Di Renjie" immediately soared to 6.2 million.

After Shen Huan's "Little Prince of Basketball" journey was posted on the Internet, and the total number of video views exceeded 10 billion, the number of VIP users who pre-subscribed increased to more than 10 million. - Although in fact, there must be satellite TV broadcasts, but the website version can remove ads, and there are some plots that the satellite TV version does not have, so naturally there are VIPs who like to watch the full version.

In China, there are many companies that make video websites.

Even if they are burning money at this stage and are rarely profitable, because they see the possibility of connecting the world through the Internet, those companies that are not qualified to be TV stations have put their minds to this.

The two largest video websites are Youyi.com of Shining Technology and Shanhai.com of Zheng Rongrong.

However, the development models and directions of the two are very different.

Youyi.com relies on a large number of various videos to be a pure video website, with more than 2 billion registered users, so it has obtained such a large IPO valuation, which was about 100 billion US dollars when it was listed.

Later, they discovered Shanhai.com's way of producing their own TV series, so they immediately followed suit, so today's market value has reached $120 billion.

This is just the beginning, when a method can be found that can greatly increase the market value, Shining Technology will of course increase investment, and strive to surpass Shanhaiwang in this regard, becoming the first in China.

If it gets to that point, the market value of Youyi.com can exceed 200 billion US dollars!

Speaking of Shanhai.com, although they imitated Youyi.com and shared videos from the beginning, Zheng Rongrong began to absorb those new ideas from abroad after two years.

She immediately asked Shanhai.com to buy the exclusive online broadcast rights of movies and TV series from various countries and companies in China in large quantities.

This action cost Shanhai.com a lot of money at the beginning, and almost left them with no liquidity.

But within a year, the benefits for them were very limited.

But just the following year, the state announced the management measures of the Internet, and vigorously cracked down on copyright infringement activities, so many free resources on the Internet were all swept away, not to mention these video websites with families and businesses.

Countless websites suffered heavy losses in this sweep, but Shanhai.com, which has a large number of genuine copyrights, reaped a bumper harvest, adding 5 million VIP users that year.

It was also at that time that the eldest princess really gained a firm foothold and became the unique master of the mountain and sea network.

Next, Zheng Rongrong tried her best to let Shanhai.com create her own TV series to increase the number of her VIP users.

From three or five at the beginning, to twenty or thirty TV series a year now, and even three or five TV movies, all of them reflect the ambition of Shanhai.com.

Because of this unique way of Shanhai.com, as well as the high-quality products made at a large price, even if the valuation of Shanhai.com is only 40 billion US dollars, which is twice as bad as Shining Technology, its VIP users are twice as many as Youyi.com.

Shanhai.com has 22 million VIP users per year, with an annual fee of 180 yuan, and you can watch various copyrighted programs, movies and television, as well as their self-made dramas at will.

Youyi.com has only 12 million VIP users, and the annual fee is only 120 yuan.

From this point of view, Shanhai.com is far ahead.

This is also the reason why Shanhai.com has stepped up its efforts and must make its own TV series and even movies.

Isn't it a fool not to point to the development of projects that point to their own strengths?

When Shanhai.com's VIP subscribers exceed 50 million, what else can't they do?

And "Young Di Renjie" has not yet started filming, and there are 10 million VIP users who want to subscribe, which shows how optimistic it is.

Even if there will be some loss when the broadcast is officially launched, the VIP users who are attracted during this period will definitely be more than the lost users!

Besides, there is another data here in Shanhai.com.

In the month after announcing that Shen Huan and Buyiyi joined "Young Di Renjie", the number of new VIP users of Shanhai.com increased by 1 million, an increase of more than 300,000 more than usual.

If these VIP users are brought by them, it should not be a problem to add two or three million more VIP users when it is broadcast.

People have inertia, if you subscribe to a service, as long as there is no great improvement in the alternative, basically 8 percent of people will continue the previous service.

For example, subscribing to a newspaper is like that.

If it weren't for the fact that the speed and diversity of mobile news replaced newspapers, even in the era of computer popularization, newspapers would be the first choice for many families to subscribe.

Therefore, a TV series can bring two or three million long-term paying VIP users, which is a very cost-effective deal in Shanhai.com.

Not to mention, "Young Di Renjie" will be broadcast on two satellite TVs.

Only with super high popularity and expectations, the premiere buyout fee is also an astronomical amount!
