Chapter 417 Advertising Revenue
Before Yang Ming went to Guangdong, he went to Oriental Animation Company again and handed over the script of "Saint Seiya" that he had taken the time to write during this time to Lian Xingyu.
Anyway, with the reference of the previous successful episodes, and the next production, Yang Ming believes that with Lian Xingyu's own strength, with the script he provided, it is enough to shoot all the plots below.
And "Saint Seiya" has a lot of episodes, adding up to more than 100 episodes, and with this cartoon, Phoenix TV has at least more than 100 days to spare.
However, when Yang Ming handed over the script to Lian Xingyu, he was told that a foreign TV station had come to negotiate the purchase of the overseas copyright of "Saint Seiya".
Hearing the news, Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and instructed Lian Xingyu: "Their noses are quite pointy, next time they come over, let them go directly to Oriental DreamWorks to talk to Liu Xinsheng, I believe they will have a very pleasant conversation!"
Seeing the mysterious smile on Yang Ming's face, Lian Xingyu felt strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Yang!"
Yang Ming didn't explain anything, then explained some things to Lian Xingyu, and turned to leave.
On the way back, Yang Ming made a phone call to Liu Xinsheng and told him that he would be contacted about the overseas copyright of "Saint Seiya".
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Liu Xinsheng grinned and laughed just like Yang Ming had just laughed: "Yang Ming, you can rest assured, I will definitely entertain them well!"
In the end, Liu Xinsheng especially added a nasal voice to the word 'hospitality'.
Yang Ming smiled when he heard this, hung up the phone, and naturally knew what was going on in his heart.
Not long after the establishment of Oriental DreamWorks last year, those overseas companies treated Oriental DreamWorks with an extremely arrogant attitude at first, at that time, the company was newly built and did not have any popularity, Liu Xinsheng did suffer a lot of anger when dealing with those vampires.
Later, Yang Ming's "Meteor Garden" became an instant hit, and it was simply because the emperor's daughter did not worry about getting married, and the attitude of those overseas companies suddenly took a 360-degree turn.
Liu Xinsheng was given a position to negotiate on an equal footing with the vampires.
However, later, as many domestic first-tier TV stations blocked Oriental DreamWorks at the same time, Oriental DreamWorks faced nowhere to broadcast, or it was released on second-tier TV stations, and the vampires of those overseas TV stations immediately lowered their offer for "Next Stop, Happiness" on the grounds that it had not been proven by the first-tier TV station market.
Even if Liu Xinsheng proposed a cooperation agreement with those vampires at that time, the other party did not agree.
For this reason, Liu Xinsheng was very angry, and with Yang Ming's support, he angrily rejected the offer of those vampires at the price of cabbage.
This situation continued until the launch of Phoenix TV, which was not able to change.
Especially after those vampires knew that Yang Ming was likely to be the behind-the-scenes boss of Phoenix TV and Oriental DreamWorks, their attitude became extremely modest and sincere, and the offer for "Next Stop, Happiness" immediately rose to the same level as the previous TV series.
There is no way, they are afraid.
They are not afraid that the ratings of "Next Stop, Happiness" will become super high, but they are afraid that Yang Ming will open Phoenix TV in their country in retaliation.
You must know that the model of Phoenix TV is completely live broadcast through guò network broadband, and transnational operation is not a problem for them at all, and the cost is very low.
During this time, Liu Xinsheng has been talking to those vampires about the overseas copyright of "Next Stop, Happiness", and with the support of Phoenix TV, he naturally took those vampires ******** and took all the previous grievances out again.
Now, Yang Ming asked Liu Xinsheng to be in charge of the overseas copyright negotiation of "Saint Seiya", which must be another stab in the face for those vampires.
After Yang Ming called Liu Xinsheng, he couldn't help but think of the scruples in the hearts of those overseas TV stations, whether Phoenix TV would expand abroad, especially those countries in Asia where Chinese is the official language.
He pondered in his heart for a while, thought about it intently, or forget it, now is not a good time for Phoenix TV to expand.
After all, Phoenix TV has just been established not long ago, and the domestic foundation has not yet been laid, so I want to expand, once the pace is too big, it is very likely that it will pull the egg and will have indigestion.
Besides, the strength of China in this world has certainly made all countries in East Asia maintain the same tone as China politically, but it does not mean that they will unreservedly support China economically.
Yang Ming can imagine that Phoenix TV really wants to enter those Chinese-speaking countries in East Asia, which will inevitably attract the crazy counterattack of the old TV stations in those countries, which is a bit more than worth the loss for Phoenix TV now.
The idea of expansion, after turning around in his heart, was given up by Yang Ming, and now is not the time.
Late that night, Yang Ming rushed to Guangdong by plane, he found a hotel to stay in, and the next morning, he rushed to the headquarters of Phoenix TV.
The headquarters of Phoenix TV was arranged by Wu Yuanzhi in a high-end business building in Guangdong, and although the location of the building is not the city center, the transportation is very convenient, and the surrounding facilities are very perfect.
Wu Yuanzhi rented four floors at once, after all, the on-site shooting of each column needs a space.
"Is the place quite big?" Yang Ming came to Phoenix TV for a walk, then came to Wu Yuanzhi's office, poured a cup of tea and said casually.
"It is estimated that in two years at most, there will not be enough space here, and I feel that it is necessary for us to build a building by ourselves!" Wu Yuanzhi said to Yang Ming while dealing with Wen Jiàn.
Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this, he thought for a while, he had no work experience in TV stations in his previous life and in this life, but Wu Yuanzhi had 20 years of work experience in TV stations before all, since she said so, then there must be some truth.
As time goes by, the strength of Phoenix TV will inevitably become stronger and stronger, so there will be more and more members of it, and expansion is expected.
"Okay, no problem, but this building doesn't need to be built very high, you know the plan over there in Fuzhou. Yang Ming thought for a while and agreed to Wu Yuanzhi's construction, but he still reminded Wu Yuanzhi.
"Well, I'll pay attention to the right site first, but you plan to spread it so big, can you get the money when the time comes?" Wu Yuanzhi asked uneasily.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem!" Yang Ming smiled confidently, and then he said to Wu Yuanzhi: "Besides, our side is in good shape now, maybe I won't need to take the money out when the time comes." ”
Wu Yuanzhi heard Yang Ming's words, the pen for writing was stagnant, and after an instant, she immediately showed a look of enlightenment and excitement, patted the desktop and said, "Yang Ming, it's really possible!"
"Golden Theater, "The Voice of China", "Happy Camp", these three programs you made are now the cash cow of our TV station, faster than grabbing money!" Wu Yuanzhi said with a sigh.
Yang Ming smiled and didn't say anything, the popularity of these three shows had long been expected by him.
Wu Yuanzhi suddenly said mysteriously to Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, do you now know how much money is sold for the advertisement of our "The Voice of China"? And the title sponsor of "Happy Camp", oh, and the advertising fee of the Golden Theater?"
"Oh, I really don't know about you, but I do know that these three shows have sold a lot of money on Popcorn.com, and they are estimated to be 100 million together. Yang Ming thought for a while and said.
The advertising revenue of popcorn is all made through guò patch advertising, and as a video website, unlike the live broadcast of TV stations, it is a one-time advertising fee, but the video website continues to charge, and advertisers will continue to invest in advertising as long as the traffic they buy is used up.
Yang Ming will take a look at the report sent by Ma Yun every week, and he just remembers that in the recent past, the advertising revenue of popcorn network, with the popularity of "The Voice of China" and "Happy Camp", countless fans and viewers will choose to watch it again on the popcorn website, and some are estimated to watch it again two or three times.
With such a high amount of traffic on the website, merchants are naturally willing to spend a lot of money on advertising on popcorn websites.
As a replay popcorn website, it can have such a high advertising income, and as the first time to broadcast live, Phoenix TV's advertising income will naturally not be worse than that of Popcorn.com.
"The naming fee of "The Voice of China" this year is 50 million, the naming fee of "Happy Camp" this year is 42 million, and the naming fee of the Golden Theater is relatively small, only more than 20 million! This is not counting the cost of interstitial advertising, if you add the cost of interstitial advertising, we will have almost 300 million advertising revenue for these three programs alone!" Wu Yuanzhi is very familiar with reporting a paragraph of the number jù, and now this number jù has long become extremely familiar in her mind.
"And that's not even counting the ad revenue from other shows. After Wu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he sighed again: "I really didn't expect Phoenix TV to develop so fast, if we have a first-line TV station, the advertising revenue will at least double, but I believe that next year will definitely reach the point of a first-line TV station!"
When she said these words, Wu Yuanzhi was extremely confident, if this idea was put to death last year, she would not believe that a newly established TV station would develop so rapidly, like a rocket.
Yang Ming heard Wu Yuanzhi's exclamation, and he also felt the same way in his heart, but compared to Wu Yuanzhi's incredibleness, he was prepared.
Because he even has the Internet and mobile terminals, it is an invincible artifact combination at the beginning, and besides, every program he designed for Phoenix TV has been proven in his previous life.
Especially the two variety shows "The Voice of China" and "Happy Camp", which were very popular in their previous lives, any of these two shows can be used as the finale variety show of other TV stations, and now they are being put into a TV station by Yang Ming, this kind of effect and influence is as simple as one plus one equals two.
To be honest, Yang Ming was not surprised at all when he heard the number reported by Wu Yuanzhi, the annual naming fee was only 50 million at most, you must know that the classic variety show "Where Did Dad Go" in the previous life, Yili spent a year3. The sky-high title fee of 1.2 billion simply shocked all TV stations in the previous life.
What a gold-absorbing weapon!
Now "The Voice of China" is still far from that point, so Yang Ming didn't pay attention to it at all, but he still felt a little relieved in his heart, you must know that he has borrowed a loan of 1 billion yuan to acquire Donghai Cinema Line outside, and this debt is a bit heavy!
"I believe Sister Wu!" Yang Ming said with a smile and nodded.
After chatting with Wu Yuanzhi for a while, Mu Ying called and asked Yang Ming to meet her and counsel her students.
After Yang Ming and Wu Yuanzhi said goodbye, they came to the place where she and the trainees were trained according to the address given by Mu Ying.
"Hi, hi. Seeing Yang Ming push the door in, Mu Ying, who was instructing the students to practice singing, immediately clapped his palms, smiled playfully, and said loudly: "Let's see who's coming!"
"Wow, it's Yang Ming!"
"Yes, this time it's a real person, I finally met a real person!"
"Yang Ming is so handsome, even more handsome than on TV!"
"I suddenly feel so happy!" ......
The 8 students immediately looked at Yang Ming excitedly, especially the five female students who chattered and smirked at Yang Ming.
Mu Ying's 8 students are not very old, only one of the male students should be in their 30s, and the other students are basically not much older than Yang Ming.
"Hi, hello everyone!" Yang Ming waved his hand and smiled at everyone.
"Yang is great. ”
"Yang Ming God!".
All kinds of different names caused everyone to laugh.
Mu Ying cordially greeted Yang Ming to the students, pointed at Yang Ming and said: "This guy, don't look at him like a little white face, but he is definitely a powerful person, and his singing skills are no worse than mine, especially for the students who are ready to sing rock songs, you must ask him for advice, his rock songs are definitely a must in our industry!"
"Sister Mu, don't lift me up, hehe, let's all learn from each other!" Yang Ming hurriedly waved his hand to signal everyone not to take Mu Ying's words to heart.
Seeing the natural joking words between Mu Ying and Yang Ming, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively without the jerkiness just now.
When the eight students saw Yang Ming in front of them, they were just like their acquaintances or classmates, without any shelf, very cordial, and extremely gentle in their speech, just like a boy next door, it was very easy to get along with.
This made the feelings of the eight students soar, and they asked Yang Ming various questions in order.
Yang Ming did not disappoint them, and gave professional answers to each of their questions, and also demonstrated in person, so that each of them benefited a lot.
After a while, Mu Ying asked the students to practice by themselves first, then pulled Yang Ming aside, and asked with a smile: "When the time comes in the evening, you are going to sing on stage, how about it?"
"Do you still need to prepare for this?" As if infected by the lively atmosphere just now, Yang Ming deliberately glanced at Mu Ying and said.
"Damn, you damn boy!" Mu Ying couldn't help but laugh and slap Yang Ming, and then she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What song?"
"No!" Yang Ming shook his head with a serious look, "I promised the director that I must remain mysterious." ”
"Okay, you're up to it. Mu Ying put on a fierce look to scare Yang Ming, but she didn't really ask Yang Ming to perform immediately.
The two laughed and talked for a while, Mu Ying asked Yang Ming the questions hidden in his heart, especially the detailed process of Yang Ming's lawsuit before, to be honest, although Yang Ming won the lawsuit in the end, and some of the processes were also reported by many media, but there was very little news from the newspaper, at most, it was only known that Yang Ming finally came up with key evidence, and there was a witness who appeared in court to help Yang Ming testify, and finally reversed and won.
As for the inside story, others naturally don't know.
So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu Ying definitely couldn't hold back the question in his heart and asked Yang Ming about the details.
Yang Ming thought about it for a while, there was nothing worth hiding in it, so he told Mu Ying what happened before and after, and when Mu Ying heard it, he patted his thigh and said, "It's really cheap Huang Mingri's nephew!"
Of course, Mu Ying and Huang Mingri are familiar with each other, and she usually doesn't blame Huang Mingri's behavior and habits before, otherwise she would not have clearly stood on Yang Ming's side and supported Yang Ming when Huang Mingri and Yang Ming were opposed.
"It doesn't matter. Yang Ming smiled indifferently.
Afterwards, they chatted for a while, trained 8 trainees for a while, and then dispersed, and today's training ended here.
Next, just wait for the live broadcast of eight into six in the evening.
At 21 o'clock in the evening, it was already dark and shrouded in the earth, and the lights of thousands of homes were bright, which was the golden time of the night.
With the launch of "The Voice of China" on Phoenix TV, a newly established TV station, with a novel audition model, four famous mentors, and a cruel principle of elimination within the group, it immediately attracted the attention of countless viewers in China.
This talent show-type variety show, more than a month later, when it entered the eight-in-six link, it was already one of the most popular variety shows in China, whenever "The Voice of China" was launched, countless viewers were already in front of the TV, in front of the computer, or holding mobile phones and mini handheld computers, waiting for the arrival of the live broadcast time.
Phoenix TV is also due to the influence of this variety show, and countless users have newly installed the Internet TV box of the network power company, which can watch the live broadcast through the guò TV set, which can be regarded as indirectly promoting the business development of the network power company.
It can be said that every program of Phoenix TV has had a different influence on the business of the network power company.
Because each program of Phoenix TV has his unique style and positioning, in a short period of time, it has attracted a large number of loyal viewers and become die-hard fans of this TV.
At 21 o'clock, it is the time period for the official live broadcast of "The Voice of China", and countless viewers who are waiting to watch the live broadcast are very excited now, because today there are four guests who will appear as auxiliary mentors.
One of them is the hottest genius newcomer in the Chinese entertainment industry: Yang Ming!
Many of Yang Ming's fans are also waiting in front of the TV or computer early, waiting for Yang Ming to appear tonight.
I believe he will bring you another classic night tonight.
The hands of the clock finally pointed to 21 o'clock, and "The Voice of China" began to broadcast live.
The picture is dark, and someone has appeared.
