Chapter 660: The Old Drama Bone is in charge
The annual subscription fee of Shanhai.com for VIP users is 180 yuan, and 50 million people is a full 9 billion yuan in revenue.
Although all kinds of operating expenses, bandwidth, servers, content buyouts, etc., require a lot of investment, such a large amount of income is definitely the existence of a stable military heart.
At least it can show that they have the hope of making a profit, and the future is getting brighter and brighter.
The valuation of Shanhaiwang has already exceeded 100 billion US dollars at this time.
Although Shining Technology, with Youyi.com as the main body, continues to forge ahead and expand its business, it cannot avoid the rigidity or even decline of their various market shares.
Therefore, the market value of Shining Technology is only $100 billion.
Valuation and market capitalization, the two seem to be one word apart, but in fact they are very different.
The valuation of Shanhai.com is 100 billion US dollars, and it is likely to rise to 120 billion or 150 billion US dollars after listing.
The $100 billion of Shining Technology is their actual market value, and unless there is some unnatural achievement, it cannot be improved at all.
In fact, from their peak of $120 billion, Shining Technology has now had a big decline.
However, the valuation of Shanhai Net, which is constantly advancing, is constantly improving.
The existence of 50 million VIP annual subscribers is a big catalyst for valuation improvement.
Any company, as long as there are 50 million users who are willing to pay, it is a huge amount of capital!
This is true for the capital markets, and even more so for the ubiquitous advertisers!
Shanhai.com is facing an audience all over the world.
For the same TV series, Japanese benzene manufacturers can advertise on the Japanese version of the page, and Taiji country manufacturers can advertise on the Korean version page
The English ones are even happier, and they can face at least 3 billion potential viewers.
Even if there is no 3 billion, 1 billion is promising.
In addition to the country of China, which TV station can face 1 billion viewers of advertising users?
Moreover, these 1 billion users are not people from developing countries, but audiences from developed countries, whose spending power is stronger and their advertising effects are better.
Advertisers don't care what kind of TV station or video website you have.
As long as the audience goes to the program or TV series, then there is the value of advertising and publicity.
The more people and the more popular it is, the higher the advertising value.
Therefore, with the super popularity of the free version and the scale of revenue to maintain 50 million VIP annual users, it has become the main reliance of Shanhai.com with a very likely valuation of 120 billion.
"Yue Prison they use the model of broadcasting one episode a day, and thirty episodes can be broadcast for thirty days. Xin Changkong said, "But Cui Zhong has already told me that I hope I can shoot the second part of "Yue Prison" in advance, and the best schedule in March after the Spring Festival. ”
"This one isn't busy. ”
Shen Huan shook his head, "Even if you want to shoot, it will be the best time to broadcast it at this time next year, and one season a year is the most appropriate." ”
"Yes. Xin Changkong agreed first, and then said: "I think so too, the effect of the first season has not come out, even if they propose exactly the same price and incentives, I don't think it's worth it...... For example, such an excellent script written by Mr. Chu should be worth far more than the limit. ”
"Speaking of the group of actors, what do they think of the second season?, will the salary increase significantly?" asked Shen Huan curiously.
It was not without reason that he asked.
The sequels of many classic TV series in the previous life were in trouble because the salaries of the main actors could not be negotiated.
In the end, if you really have to go up, you can only choose a way according to the situation.
Or you can raise your salary dramatically, like the six protagonists of "Friends", for example, the protagonists of "The Big Bang Theory".
or just write the protagonist and hang up, and then lead to a new plot, so as to divert the audience's attention.
In this regard, the most famous is "Game of Thrones", which can really be said to be whoever dares to raise the price will die, and there is no mercy at all.
If it really doesn't work, then you can only simply take out the previous clips, edit out a few episodes, and finally end up unfinished.
There are countless like this.
Shen Huan's expectations for "Yue Prison" are quite high, and of course he doesn't want to fall into disputes at the beginning of the second season.
"As you commanded, all the main actors have signed contracts for three seasons. Xin Changkong said, "At least the first three seasons, there should be no problem...... That is, it is limited by the law, otherwise I want to sign ten seasons. ”
The regulations in this world are very well-established.
Actors will not be allowed to ask for prices without authorization, but it is definitely not allowed to be tied up for too long.
What kind of TV series has been filmed for ten years, and as a result, the salary of the actor has not changed for ten years...... There is no way that such a thing will be allowed to happen.
Therefore, three years, commonly referred to as three seasons, is the maximum limit.
It is also a limit that is acceptable to both parties.
After a pause, Xin Changkong said again, "Of course, even if the salary will not increase, but according to the reward dividends in the future, I will also make a reward plan, please have a purpose with Teacher Chu." ”
Xin Changkong is not only a director, but also a producer, responsible for all matters of the crew.
Shen Huan trusted Xin Changkong, but he was not afraid of him making ghosts.
After each TV series is completed, there will be an accounting firm to audit the accounts.
Moreover, all the copyrights are in the hands of the company, which is the biggest guarantee.
When he said this, it was more appropriate to consider.
Everyone knows that starring in Mr. Chu Liuxiang's script is to add glory to himself and make himself famous in the world.
Such a good thing, let alone giving money, even if you don't give money, you are willing to come!
That's what superstars think.
The three protagonists in "Yue Prison", Li Yingzhi, Yan Yu and Zhou Lexiang, especially the first two, want to go further, and naturally take acting as the principle.
Money is not money, it really doesn't matter that much.
Filming a TV series is actually not much more money than they take on an advertising endorsement.
But if the TV series can become popular, the price of advertising endorsement will be high.
"How about the old drama bones of the theater I introduced, not bad, right?" Shen Huan said to Xin Changkong with a smile.
Speaking of this, Xin Changkong couldn't help but pat his legs, "Hey! Isn't it not bad? It's just amazing! You don't know, Yan Yu and Li Yingzhi were a little self-contained at the beginning, but after acting in a few plays, every time there was a gap, they gathered in front of several teachers and begged them for guidance!"
This TV series was filmed so smoothly later, and their credit is really great! How come I didn't find out about such a cheap and easy-to-use old drama bone before?"
Shen Huan smiled when he heard this.
Of course!
The other world didn't know it at first.
It will not be until the appearance of Kang X Ji that everyone will find out that these old drama bones of the theater are so easy to use!
Therefore, after the mistake of big data dominating TV series and movies in the previous life was discovered, their compensation method was to invite these veteran actors of the theater to control the roles.
In this way, even those little flowers and little students can't afford to act, there are also these old drama bones here, so that at least the basic plate is stable.
In this way, many TV series that invite those traffic celebrities and rising stars have become watchable.
However, what people comment on is two extremes.
First of all, criticize this group of popular fried chickens who are good for nothing but their appearance.
and then praise the acting skills of these old drama bones, which is simply a god.
Shen Huan also watched a lot of such TV series and movies before he realized the role they really played in them.
Therefore, before the filming of "Yue Prison" started, he inserted a large number of young and middle-aged actors from Beijing into the crew to enrich the scaffolding of this TV series.
Now it seems that this effect is still obvious!
