"Nonsense! Tell CBS to change it immediately! Otherwise, we will cut off cooperation in the future!" Don En issued an order with a serious expression, and then hung up the phone directly.

On the opposite side of the dining table sat two beautiful girls, Megan Fox and Teresa Palmer.

The location of the date is good, it is the most famous sky restaurant in Beverly, not only is it undisturbed, but it also has a great view over the whole of Hollywood.

However, Don received a phone call and didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Megan Fox said tentatively, "Mr. Walker, you ...... You ......"

Don smiled and waved his big hand, "It has nothing to do with you two, it's CBS, nonsense." New Universal produced an American drama, The Big Bang Theory, which was given to CBS for broadcast. Unexpectedly, they were so clever that they put my name in front of the director. ”

Since CBS and Viacom separated, they have been trying to curry favor with Don in an attempt to restore their relationship.

Especially in the case of Michael Jackson, he also helped a lot.

Don didn't skimp anymore and handed over the creative sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" that he personally compiled and conceived to CBS.

The first season of the show cost $6.5 million to make.

The price of the North American TV rights bought by CBS is $10 million, and there are some additional progressive conditions -

The highest rating is $5 million, an additional $1 million, more than 10 million, an additional $1 million, a maximum of more than 15 million, an additional $1 million, and a maximum of more than 20 million, an additional $1 million, and so on.

Not only that, but CBS pays another $5 million if the show's average viewership exceeds 5 million households, $5 million if the average viewership exceeds 10 million, $5 million if the average viewership exceeds 15 million households, and 5 million more if it averages more than 20 million, and so on.

Based on the data of the highest rating of 36 million and the average rating of 23 million in the first season of "The Big Bang Theory", New Globe can get a total of $37 million in broadcast revenue from CBS.

The cost is $6.5 million, and the North American TV rights revenue is as high as $37 million!

The return rate is close to 600%!

And that's not even counting the accumulated revenue after replays.

This is the ability of popular TV series to attract money.

And, this is only the first season.

In the second and third quarters, if CBS does not make a more substantial offer and take out part of the advertising revenue dividends, New Globe will not agree at all.

This is "The Big Bang Theory", which is a super American drama!

Of course, this is still not comparable to TV series such as "The Walking Dead" and "Vice President" on Starz.

"The Big Bang Theory" is an American sitcom, an American comedy, and there is almost no overseas market. The DVD and videotape market also performed mediocre. Almost all sources of income are TV station broadcast fees and related brand derivative endorsements.

In terms of fame, "The Big Bang Theory" is much more than "Vice President", and it is not a level at all.

But the earning power is not high.

Because "Vice" has more peripheral income.

This kind of typical American sitcom, no matter how popular and popular it is, has a limited ability to make money.

Otherwise, Donn wouldn't have handed The Big Bang Theory to CBS.

Unexpectedly, in order to promote the effect and the popularity of the TV series, CBS generously marked the words "Done Walker" in the trailer, and even the names of the producers, directors and other main creative teams were ranked behind.

Don is just the creative screenwriter of the show, and as is customary in the industry, his name will only appear behind the scenes at the end of the credits.

Theresa Palmer blinked, a little incomprehensible.

In her opinion, in the film and television industry, Don En is the undisputed king.

Isn't his name in front of the rest of the main creators?

If you don't line in the front, do you still line in the back?

Megan Fox also thinks so, saying: "It's normal, although I haven't watched that TV series, but ...... But it's just a TV series. It's a matter of course that your name is at the top, don't you want them to use your name for publicity?"

Tang En said: "Every line has rules for each line, and you can't break the rules because of your special identity." I have participated in the production of nearly 100 film and television dramas, is it true that every work must be marked with my name? Whether it is a TV series or a movie, it must be the name of the producer and director first, this is the rule. ”

Megan Fox said sarcastically: "Those rules are all restricting small people like us, how can you need such restrictions." The ranking of the main creator list is not how you want to rank, how to rank?"

Tang En said: "That's not good! Even if it's me, I have to abide by the rules, and there is no circle without rules." Do you think that with my status, I still need to use this little trick to elevate myself?"

Don Eun is not one of those female stars who cares about rankings.

For example, a few years ago, Donn produced the Oscar Best Picture "Chicago", and the two heroines are Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz.

In the production of the movie promotional poster, there has been a lot of controversy within Down Pictures. In the end, Catherine Zeta-Jones was higher on the poster, and Rachel Weisz was higher in the cast list, which was the solution to the problem.

They are still British compatriots, they are good friends, and they have to be so careful.

Because the ranking represents the coffee position and status of the female star, even if the actor himself does not fight for it, the agent must do his best.

Seeing Don say this, Megan Fox and Teresa Palmer didn't say much.

At this time, Don thought of something again, and he didn't shy away from it, and dialed Natalie's number: "Honey, I have something to do tonight, so I won't go back...... Well, they are two very good young actresses, and I want to cultivate them myself...... No problem, goodbye!"

Don's phone call was concise and to the point, but it was really a bit overbearing.

The two young girls sitting across from him were a little crimson.

Megan Fox couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Walker, are you...... Have you been like this in the past?"

"Huh?

"Do you go on a date with two girls every time?"

Megan Fox is a little embarrassed to speak.

Don shook his head, "Not really, once in a while. ”

Megan Fox felt a lot more comfortable inside.

I just felt that I was unlucky this time, and I ran into Donn's "occasional" interest.

Unexpectedly, Don's next sentence made her almost get under the table.

Just listen to Don said: "You know, I'm usually very busy at work, and this kind of formal dating experience is rare. So most of the time, it's going on a date with a group of people, maybe four, maybe six. It's really rare to date the two of you. ”

Megan Fox collapsed.

Theresa Palmer also slapped her head, and there was a feeling that the world was spinning.

What is this?
