"Step by Step" has a total investment of 45 million, which was placed in the year before last, and it was the absolute level of the drama king.

But this year, it's just an upper-middle level!

Due to the influx of hot money from all walks of life, the TV circle has entered the "era of 100 million yuan", and a number of blockbusters of 100 million yuan have been launched, and Lu Xiaoran knows that the investment in several TV dramas has jumped over the 200 million yuan mark, such as "The Legend of Chu and Han" with a total investment of 240 million yuan, "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" with a total investment of 250 million yuan, and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" with a total investment of 280 million yuan...

Since then, the TV series versions of "White Deer Plain" and "Forty-Nine Days Sacrifice" have been launched one after another, with an investment of more than 100 million yuan.

TV dramas burn money so badly that movie stars began to "counterattack" the TV drama market.

"Jingzhong Yue Fei", a play, Brother Xiao Ming took 20 million!

If you look at the laws of film and television, movie stars have returned to the TV drama market, which is actually contrary to the world trend.

At least at this stage, American dramas have not yet used movie stars on a large scale!

However, in our country's film and television industry, the income from filming TV series is much higher than that of movies, the shooting cycle of a movie is about 1 to 2 months, and the TV series is about 3 months, which is not far behind, but the income of the two is very different, and the salary of TV series is often 4 to 5 times that of movies.

Many celebrities take over TV series just to make a profit!

For example, after "Palace", Yang Xiaomi's single-episode TV series salary rose to 400,000!

It's not on sale yet!

The main reason is because there is a market: as of September 2011, the output of TV dramas has exceeded 12,000 episodes, and the number of TV dramas approved has reached more than 30,000!

Last year, that number was 8,000 episodes!

There's too much hot money!

is not a fool, smashing movies with all his brains, compared with movies, TV series are not so gambling, but the advantage is that the profit is relatively simple - as long as you get the big names.

Therefore, Yang Xiaomi can take on five or six TV series a year...

-- When buying TV dramas, TV stations are more inclined to buy dramas by well-known actors or directors who are familiar and have ratings appeal.

Not to mention Yang Xiaomi, it is Liu Shishi's external quotation that has now risen to 400,000 per episode!

The market decides!

"Step by Step" can be regarded as a loophole - all the actors who are outdated or not well-known are used, and Tangtang is 'willingly' to play a supporting role.

Now I don't give a new time-traveling drama to the project, but there is a market for the time-traveling drama itself, so a bunch of TV stations buy...

It is very rare that after the first round of stardom, the second round of nine TV stations will be broadcast, and local satellite TV will be even more popular, so you can imagine how much money "Step by Step" made!

"Palace Lock Heart Jade" is different, Mango TV directly bought out the broadcast rights, and other TV stations have no chance to buy it at all...

......

"When will Star You be made?"

“... Wait a little longer, why are you asking this?"

"It's been a long time since I've played a leading role..."

"Aren't you the heroine of Searching?"

“... I mean the TV series!"

"In March next year, I'll take the time, let's teach Huang Xiaoming what idol dramas are!"

"That's... Ring the bell for listing, who do you take with you?"

“... How did you come up with this?"

"I also want to go to A-share to ring the bell..."

"Okay, you go ring the bell then. ”

"Really?"

“... You are the largest individual shareholder besides me, and it is most appropriate for you to ring the bell!"

"Then you said that oranges are listed, how much can the market value be?"

Lu Xiaoran reluctantly put the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife" on her lap: "... Big sister, I'm reading the script!"

"Tell me..."

“... I don't know, I've never been on the market..."

Tangtang muttered, didn't know what to think, and slowly fell asleep leaning on Lu Xiaoran...

......

Orange's financial report has been announced.

Several major conditions for the company's listing are all met, including what is the starting number, the nature of the company, the total share capital, the financial and accounting system...

The most conspicuous thing is profit!

Since 08, the annual net profit of oranges has been more than 100 million, and last year it reached 300 million, and in the first three months of this year, it jumped directly to 400 million!

Even Lu Xiaoran was shocked when she saw this data!

After researching, the sales and copyright income of the TV series "Gang of Men", "A Smile is Alluring", "Blue Wolf", "Step by Step", and "The Indelible Number" are close to 210 million, in addition, the balance of the three popular TV series last year, "Before Dawn", "The Beautiful Times of the Daughter-in-law", and "Why Sheng Xiaomo", was close to 180 million;

Of course, the five TV series "Wind Whisper", "Oath to This Life", "Cliff", "Ups and Downs", and "Parents' Love" also cost a lot...

Overall, it's still profitable;

In terms of movies, the box office share of "Lone Agent" is 210 million, plus the overseas copyright income of 26 million US dollars, and the box office share of "The Great Gold Robbery" is 110 million...

Of course, the film side has a negative income and expenditure, and there are too many projects that are mainly under development and those that have already been approved...

The most surprising thing is the variety show module, the variety show "The Voice" directly brought a net profit of 290 million to Orange!

Coupled with the 30 million profit brought by "Food Afternoon Tea", the two variety shows of Orange's variety show department brought a net profit of more than 300 million!

This is also the main source of earnings revenue...

Is it so profitable to do variety shows?

......

"The average rating of "The Voice" is close to 3%, and the advertising revenue of Beijing TV is almost 500 million.

The person in charge of the variety show department is called Du Yan, who was dug by Zhong Lifang from Mango Channel.

(Du Yan is the chief producer of "I Am a Singer")...

"The copyright of several European countries, we offer 500,000 euros, there are more European countries, we have sold the copyright of more than 20 countries, some countries in Southeast Asia half sell and half give, South Korea, Japan benzene copyright is almost 500,000 US dollars... Now we are mainly negotiating with the North American side, and Twentieth Century Fox offered a $20 million buyout, but we didn't agree..."

"Why don't you agree?"

"The contracts we signed are all two-year copyrights, give them some sweetness first, and then increase the price after two years..."

“... What if they don't renew the contract?"

"Don't worry, we've done a survey, and every country's TV station is not an iron bucket, they don't renew the contract, and we sell it to other TV stations at a high price!"

Lu Xiaoran smiled: "You are really good at doing business, and the free ones are the most expensive!"

Zhong Lifang: "... It's more than $20 million for us, and we have to make up for it!"

"Ahem... How many Fox Searchlight movies did we buy?"

"More than 30 films, they sold them in packages. ”

“... Is there anything worth releasing it?"

The so-called worthwhile release, that is, the box office prospect must be at least 10 million or more, otherwise, the distribution fee paid in advance alone will not be able to earn back!

"Most of them have no commercial attributes, although "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Juno", and "500 Days with Shamo" have a good box office in North America, they may not be suitable for the domestic market..."

"Then cover it for a few years, and then sell it to a video site!"

“... Are you so optimistic about video sites?"
