Chapter 30 The profitability of Spark
On January 21, Li Ming and the others completed their final exams and entered the winter vacation.
The people in the dormitory have basically passed all the exams.
This year's Chinese New Year is February 16, relatively speaking, the winter vacation is relatively early.
Because the box office of "Chainsaw" has steadily increased, Xie Yingjie also signed a contract with the company to become the director of Spark Technology Media, and he will also direct and shoot the follow-up of "Chainsaw".
The success of the movie "Chainsaw" also made Xie Yingjie a little famous.
At the same time, there are also many other entertainment companies and film companies that contact Xinghuo and want to cooperate in the filming of "Chainsaw" or invest in "Chainsaw".
There are even companies that want to buy the follow-up rights to "Chainsaw".
It can only be said that they think too much, such a movie with a small profit and a small investment, the box office of the sequel will definitely not be worse than the first one, if the copyright is sold, it will be a fool.
With an investment of only a few million, there is no need to introduce other companies to invest, at most it is to let the film hairstyling company use the link of publicity and distribution to invest.
Li Ming also didn't want to, but some cooperation was still necessary.
After all, Xinghuo Technology Media is a small company and a new company, and it does not have its own theater chain and distribution channels, so it is easy to be targeted.
At the end of the month, the box office of "Saw Horror" had reached 190 million, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
Generally speaking, a movie is at its highest box office for the first week or two, and then the box office will slowly fall.
But the box office of "Saw Horror" is getting higher and higher, and there will be an outbreak every weekend, which is beyond everyone's expectations!
This is a movie with an investment of less than 15 million, and the box office has accumulated nearly 200 million.
Xinghuo Company was able to get more than 80 million box office and earned more than 66 million.
And that's not even counting the copyrights in other countries, as well as the copyrights sold to video sites;
The movie "Chainsaw" will definitely have a very good box office in other Asian countries!
Seeing the popularity of the movie "Chainsaw", Qianli Pictures also came to the door to act as an agent for the overseas release of "Chainsaw".
Qianli Pictures was responsible for the distribution of "Chainsaw", but it did not ask for a share of the box office, and only charged a distribution fee of 5 million, which was really a big loss.
If they had known that "Saw Horror" would be like this, they would definitely choose to share the box office.
It's a pity that I didn't know so much, and now if I want to make up for the loss and make a profit, I can only act as an agent for the overseas box office release of "Chainsaw".
In the end, Qianli Pictures took a 25% share of the overseas box office and acted as an agent for the overseas release of the movie "Chainsaw".
As the largest e-commerce and third-party payment platform in China, Qianli Pictures has long spread its business all over the world, and with this foundation, other companies under it want to develop abroad very quickly.
When a movie is released overseas, it can get 20-25% of the box office share.
Qianli Pictures' share of Xinghuo Company is also a very reasonable price. If they lower the price, there are other companies that can cooperate.
At the end of the month, "Love Apartment" has completed filming, submitted for review, and entered post-production. After the review, you can basically start to find TV stations and websites to sell the broadcast rights of this TV series.
"Love Apartment" has not yet been completed, and Youtu has asked for the online broadcast rights of this TV series.
With the movie "Chainsaw" in front, Youtu also thinks that "Love Apartment" is also written by Li Ming, which should not be too bad.
When talking about the online broadcast rights of "Chainsaw", I talked about the online broadcast rights of "Love Apartment".
"talked about Mango Satellite TV, Guangshi Satellite TV, Shanghai Satellite TV and other satellite TV stations, and finally Guangshi Satellite TV bought the first round of broadcasting rights for 300,000 episodes!!"
At Guangshi Airport, Li Ming drove a domineering mammoth off-road and went to the airport to greet Liang Guodong, who had flown to several cities.
Liang Guodong was wearing a suit, his hair was meticulously combed, and he already had the momentum of a domineering president: "Fortunately, this time there is "Chainsaw" to support the façade, otherwise it is really hard to talk about, their prices are very low." ”
"Don't worry, even if it's 300,000 episodes, we'll earn it, plus Youtu and there are plans to take over the right to broadcast online!"
"That's right, anyway, the investment is only more than 2 million, and we will earn millions on the purchase price of Guangshi Satellite TV!!"
The investment in "Love Apartment" is very low, because the filming location is simple, and the actors used are all newcomers, the investment can be said to be pitiful, and it is basically impossible to lose money.
After the first round of broadcast rights were sold, basically no one would buy the second round of broadcast rights, and Li Ming and they could only sell the network broadcast rights to Youtuhe.
"Guangshi Satellite TV only bought the first round of broadcast rights, and did not rebroadcast the whole one, so I'm sure that Youtu will not suffer"
Li Ming said to the person in charge of the copyright procurement department of Youtu: "How many young people still watch TV now?
But Youtu is more worried: "Our broadcast speed can't be faster than that of Guangshi Satellite TV, even if Guangshi Satellite TV does not have the right to replay, after our broadcast brings heat, everyone knows that Guangshi Satellite TV broadcasts faster than us, and they all go to watch Guangshi Satellite TV, but increase their ratings!"
"Then whatever time you broadcast it, the price of this show can't even be compared to "Wan Wan", right?"
You must know that the broadcast rights of "Never Expected" have been sold for 10 million, and the same 20 episodes of "Love Apartment" have surpassed "Never Expected" much more than "Never Expected" in terms of production staff and production costs.
If this can't be sold at the price of "Never Expected", it is simply unreasonable.
Lin Shengqing, who was excellent and land, shook his head and said: "This is different, "Never Expected" is suitable for online platforms, and it is exclusive, and it has not been played at all before." Although "Love Apartment" is also broadcast on the Internet, the first round of broadcast rights has already been broadcast on TV stations, and we are also at great risk!"
Liang Guodong proposed: "Then why don't we calculate the share according to the number of broadcasts or clicks?"
“……”
The corners of Lin Shengqing's mouth twitched, the previous purchase of "A Bite of the Tongue" was calculated according to this share, but it turned out to give away millions in vain, and it was impossible to take that kind of sharing method.
As the person in charge of the copyright procurement department of Youtu, it is not difficult for Lin Shengqing to see that the TV series "Love Apartment" will definitely not be too low if he buys it.
Although I only watched the first five episodes, there are already many laughs in it!
Li Ming deserves the title of 'Weibo's No. 1 Executioner'.
Li Ming's meager attention has not written a joke for a long time, but as the screenwriter of "Love Apartment", this drama is actually a collection of jokes, which is also very suitable for online broadcasting!
"Okay, then 10 million, we're happy to work together!"
In the end, Lin Shengqing also agreed to buy the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Love Apartment" at a price of 10 million.
From "A Bite of the Tongue" to "Never Expected", from the movie "Chainsaw" to the TV series "Love Apartment", the two sides have cooperated so many times, anyway, 10 million is definitely not a loss!
It is also more difficult to improve the soil and want to reduce the price.
Once Guangshi Satellite TV starts broadcasting "Love Apartment", after it arouses popularity, the right to broadcast exclusively on the Internet will definitely rise. Unless the TV shows this drama on TV, the ratings are low and scary, and it is possible to reduce the price.
Purchasing copyrights is a gamble, and a little risk is still worth a try!
"Happy working together!"
Liang Guodong and Li Ming shook hands with Lin Shengqing with a smile, this time selling the online broadcast rights of "Love Apartment", no matter how much it is sold, it is pure profit.
This February, Xinghuo Company has achieved more than 200 million revenue in terms of movies and TV series!!
And that's not even counting the game's revenue......
