Section 93: Next Steps
Under the bright light, Shen Huan sat at the desk, spreading out a notebook in front of him, with a few scattered nouns on it, and he was holding a pen and looking at it intently, looking like he was wandering out of the world.
After the night of the singer, he had already flown back to Jianye from Star City with Lin Hexi.
In August, Jianye was still very hot, and the night was not peaceful, but fortunately, with the help of air conditioning, the room was very cool, and I could think better.
He was thinking about his next plan of action, the few nouns in his notebook, one of which was called "record", which he had marked with a black bar.
Because of the emphasis on copyright and the crackdown on piracy, the record industry in this world is indeed much better than in another world, but under the impact of the Internet, the record industry has shown a slight decline.
Some people in the industry may still have illusions at the moment, thinking that with the implementation of Internet copyright legislation in the future, the record industry may regain its youth, but Shen Huan, who has more than ten years of experience in another world, knows that the tide of the Internet is unstoppable. More importantly, with the in-depth popularization of the Internet, with the integration of digitalization into all aspects of people's lives, and with the change of the mainstream carrier of music, the decline of the record industry is bound to become greater and greater, until it basically dies out, and it survives purely in the form of "collectibles".
Of course, pop music will not die, but in the future, they will reappear on the Internet in the form of a different kind of online copyright, when singers can still make money by releasing online albums, and they will earn more than they do now.
But this world is not the world that Shen Huan once lived in after all, and Shen Huan can't know exactly when that time will come with the development of this world.
He only knows that making records now is not too profitable.
Take his "Red Dust Inn" as an example, according to the data fed back by Tagawa, more than 500,000 copies have been sold so far.
This number is already a very impressive number in the current Huaguo record industry, and it is definitely excellent, but if you really want to talk about money, the total sales are about 15 million. His share is 23%, that is, about 3.5 million, 30% of the taxes and distribution to Zhang Changfu, and the real one in his hands is only 1.5 million in the end.
A few thousand dollars earned 1.5 million, and the return on investment is indeed terrifying, but the total income is still too low, especially in the case of such an excellent album and he himself took a large share, this total income is really unsatisfactory. The most important thing is that the current ceiling of the record industry is there, not that he can multiply it hundreds of times and earn hundreds of millions of dollars by investing hundreds of thousands of dollars to make an album this time.
Albums can only be used as a means to earn popularity, and they must continue to improve their popularity, but in this market environment and the background of the times, don't expect this to make a lot of money, if you want to make money, you still need to count on other aspects to be more reliable.
Shen Huan's gaze fell on another noun on the notebook.
Movie.
In terms of efficiency, film is undoubtedly the most profitable industry.
A good commercial movie in the future generations, the box office is all calculated in 100 million, or even 1 billion, this is the real profiteering industry!
In this world, although it has to be discounted, it is still very profitable.
According to his survey results, under a more relaxed policy environment, under the liberalized film classification system, and under a more rapidly developing economy, the development speed of the Chinese film market in this world is much faster than that of another world, and excellent works are frequently released, and the overall box office of the film market is rising rapidly every year, and there are many movies with a box office of more than 100 million. Especially after entering 05 years, there is a faint situation of "the box office is not more than 100 million, and I dare not say that I am successful", and the big hit works of more than 500 million have been released in the first half of 05 2, of which the dark horse "Electronic Love Letter" with the highest box office has reached a terrifying number of 890 million at the domestic box office, followed by 1.13 billion starring Li Shangyi in "Fox Demon", without counting inflation, it is already the third highest-grossing work in the history of Chinese films.
Under such a market, the film market has become a very hot profiteering industry today, and countless funds have poured in.
Shen Huan wants to make money, and it is the most profitable to be a director, make movies, and copy excellent commercial works from another world like him doing "Red Dust Inn", because the ceiling is high enough.
This is an industry that can really make hundreds of millions of dollars is not a dream.
If he can make a work with a box office of 500 million, it will basically be the rhythm of getting rich overnight.
But Shen Huan thought about it, and still drew a black bar on it, and then turned his gaze to the last noun - TV series.
Compared with movies, TV series may be the most suitable and pragmatic choice for him.
Shen Huan is mainly considered from the technical aspect.
He has run a lot of crews, there are movies, there are TV series, from the perspective of his personal senses, the requirements of film directors are much higher than those of TV drama directors: TV series directors are basically completed, and the details are not too fine, and the lens position is also simple, most of the time the actors play by themselves as soon as the camera is swinged, but the film directors are much more perverted, and some even have a lot of requirements for him to be a big trick, and the shots are much more complicated, which requires their actors to cooperate.
Running down a movie is often much more tiring than running a TV series, which is Shen Huan's common feeling - of course, those online universities such as "The Four Beauties: Diao Chan vs. Zombies" are not among them, and the acting is easy.
For a newcomer like Shen Huan, who has no experience in independent production at all, and has not even taken a guide tube, making a TV series, in terms of difficulty in implementation, is more reliable than making a movie, and there is more room for error. He can accumulate experience in this area first, and then it is not too late to enter the film industry.
And he also has an advantage over movies in this aspect of distribution.
When participating in "Who is a Singer" in Star City, Shen Huan, who always likes to fall around, has already "hooked up" with the later editor in charge of the program team.
The post-editor in charge has a very close relationship with the deputy director of the purchasing department of Huguang Satellite TV, and he wants to sell TV dramas in the future, which can be regarded as finding a dock where he can worship the mountain. Besides, if it sells or not, at least there is a place to worship God, but he still has no clue about the release of the movie for the time being, and everything has to be done slowly.
Considering several factors, it is more reliable to produce TV series, and the income is also considerable compared to making records.
According to what Shen Huan learned about the current domestic TV drama market, the round-to-round purchase mechanism is generally adopted.
The price of the first round of broadcasting is now on average at about 350,000, which is generally bought by several satellite TVs, and then they dismantle it themselves, according to the current situation of an average of 30 episodes of a drama, it is 10 million. The second round will be lower, with an average of about 250,000, which is usually bought by several TV stations, and after these two rounds are down, it will basically be more than 15 million.
This is average, if you change to some excellent or optimistic dramas, the price will rise, the first round of prices can be more than 500,000, and this year's highest drama "Thirty Years" can be the highest price in history for the first round of single episodes of 700,000! The whole drama has 50 episodes, and 35 million were sold in the first round, which is really staggering, and the production cost is 18 million, and the first round directly made a profit, and the second round will go again, and it will be easy to earn more than 40 million, and no channel provider has snatched nearly half of their share, not to mention the continuous income behind, for excellent dramas, it is also a source of income that cannot be underestimated.
For example, "Ji Xiaolan" in another world, after more than ten years of the first round of broadcasting, it can bring tens of millions of income a year, which is really a gold mine.
Although it is not as good as the film industry, the TV drama market is definitely much more profitable than the current domestic record industry.
What's more, judging from the experience of another world, the TV drama market will rise year by year and become more and more vigorous in the future, and the rise of the Internet will not only not reduce the income of TV drama production, but will continue to fuel the flames more and more, and continue to hit new highs. In the later generations of another world, there are frequent TV dramas that sell hundreds of millions, or even billions, at sky-high prices, which is an unimaginable figure in the Chinese music market.
Although the market is hot and the prospects are good, there is still a question, that is, whether Shen Huan can have fun.
Don't lose money if you can't sell it then.
