Li Yixuan has never been so happy, the broadcast of "Friends" has directly increased AMC's subscribers by more than 3 million, what kind of concept is this, this is the rhythm of the TV series.

This is just the beginning, and at this pace, I believe it will not be long before it exceeds 10 million subscriptions.

What does 10 million subscriptions mean? AMC is a pay TV station, each monthly fee standard is $15 to calculate, 1 million is $12 million in revenue, more than 8 million subscribers in dollars is $96 million, this is just a month's income, how much should it be in 12 months of the year?

Of course, it is impossible to guarantee that many subscribers will be there all the time in a year, and only in the summer will there be so many subscriptions, and if it is during the winter break, the number of subscribers will be reduced by two-thirds.

In short, generally speaking, pay TV stations have the most subscriptions in summer and the least in winter, and under normal circumstances, only summer subscriptions in spring and autumn are only half of those in summer, so when converted, AMC's revenue of $300 million a year is no problem.

If the number of subscriptions exceeds 10 million, there will be more than $500 million in revenue in a year.

Although there is no advertising fee income, you can implant advertisements in the program, as long as the TV series is popular, the advertising fee for implantation will definitely increase significantly. At present, the production cost of each episode of "Friends" is 600,000 US dollars, and the cost of product placement is calculated on an episode-by-episode basis, without affecting the viewing experience, there are almost 3 to 5 advertising spaces per episode, Wen Bingxi is confident that the advertising revenue of each episode can get around 600,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the TV series has not yet been filmed. If viewership continues to increase, advertising costs will continue to grow.

Of course, this is limited to the first season, from the second season, the remuneration of directors and actors will increase significantly, the production cost will also increase significantly, and although the advertising fee will also increase, it is impossible to hope that it will be recouped before filming starts like the first season, but in general, the income from product placement is still very considerable.

According to statistics from an authoritative organization in another time and space, "Friends" has been filmed for a total of ten seasons, and the total revenue from product placement alone has exceeded $1 billion, which shows how strong "Friends'" ability to attract money is.

In addition to these, the peripheral income of film and television dramas is also the bulk of the income of the TV station, which can account for half of the income of the TV station. It's not the Internet yet, and in the next 30 years, videotape revenue will be the most important thing for TV stations, followed by DVDs, and then online subscriptions for pay-to-watch.

In addition to these, TV drama exports also account for a large proportion, but this income elasticity is very large, generally English-speaking countries sell a little higher, and non-English-speaking countries have a pitiful low price. TV series like "Friends" have a strong atmosphere of modern urban culture in the United States, and even in English-speaking areas such as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, it is not easy to sell them at a relatively high price. After all, where is the cultural barrier.

Li Yixuan only stayed for a while before leaving AMC, wet and uncomfortable at all, went home to take a shower and change clothes, and began to prepare for the evening party.

This is a party to celebrate, he doesn't want to be perfunctory before, Li Yixuan invited a professional party company to take care of it.

After 30 minutes, the other party sent someone, "Hello, it's Jester. Lee...... I'm Sophia, and I'm going to host your party tonight. A white-collar beauty in her thirties stood at the door of Li Yixuan's villa and introduced herself.

Li Yixuan opened the door and let the other party in. Sophia took a look at the garden in front of the door and the hall on the first floor and said, "Are there any specific requirements?" ”

"It's a celebration party, I hope it's lively, and I don't want anyone to disturb me above the second floor. Also, during the party, there can be no big / hemp things in the room. ”

“OK。” Shu Feiya used a notebook to write down Li Yixuan's request. After looking at the XHY area again, she picked up the phone at Li Yixuan's house...... After a while, a few more people came, and they began to set up the venue.

Guo Yifei also came back, and learned that Li Yixuan wanted a script celebration party tonight, so he automatically began to help.

Guo Yifei is a person who pays attention to a high quality of life, but neither of them has relevant experience in these large-scale parties, and it is best to let a professional company be in charge of it.

After only half a day's work, the party company decorated the whole villa with a new and festive atmosphere, and there were live performances by the band, and the team of chefs began to move in, starting to prepare all kinds of food and drinks, and the party began to be started by the company's employees one after another.

The people from Oranges also learned that Li Yixuan was going to hold a celebration party today, so Liang Ning also brought a group of people over.

Liang Ning brought her family to the United States, and her wife studied in the United States and knew what the American party was like, so she didn't come empty-handed, so she made a large plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and brought it over.

Han Dazhuang was wearing a neat suit, took the wine from the waiter, took a sip, and asked Li Yixuan in a low voice, "How much does it cost to prepare for such a party?" ”

Li Yixuan directly stretched out three fingers.

Han Dazhuang was speechless: "30,000 US dollars, how many arcade machines and computers do I have to sell to earn 30,000 US dollars!" ”

Li Yixuan glanced at him thoughtfully, "I remember that you have earned 100,000 US dollars in the past few years. ”

Seeing that Han Dazhuang was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Li Yixuan changed the topic, "How about it, I heard that you are graduating next year, what are your plans after graduation, go back to China directly or stay here?" ”

Han Dazhuang said: "I was sent by the government, and I will return to China directly after graduation." ”

"Don't want to stay here?"

Han Dazhuang shook his head and said, "No matter how good the United States is, it is not my country. The country is waiting for people like me to go back and build, and I believe that China's future will be no worse than that of the United States. ”

Li Yixuan knows that China's future is no worse than that of the United States, but only a very small number of international students like Han Dazhuang insist on returning to China, and he admires people like Han Dazhuang who can resist the temptation of capitalism.

"Do you know where they will arrange for you to go when you go back?" Li Yixuan knew that the other party was going back to China, and he was a little interested in what he would do after he went back.

"How do I know this, after all, I won't graduate until next year, listen to the organization's arrangement." Han Dazhuang said with a smile.

"How many people will go back with you?"

"This ......" Han Dazhuang was asked, he had contact with his classmates, most of them wanted to stay in the United States, he was the only one who insisted on returning to China, he didn't know how to answer Li Yixuan.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Li Yixuan had already guessed a few points, so he said: "I wish you a smooth career after returning to China." With that, he picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's plate and left.

As soon as he took two steps, Han Dazhuang shouted: "Mr. Li, the country is going to open up now, I heard that foreign businessmen are welcome to invest, do you plan to go back to invest?" ”

Li Yixuan stood still and turned around, "You know what I do, my investment can't be small, now there is no policy in China, it is not clear when the policy can be implemented, even if it is implemented, no one can say whether there will be a policy repetition." Let's take a look. After saying that, he left, and there was only so much he could say.

Han Dazhuang didn't seem to give up, and caught up and said: "If the country has a policy that protects your legitimate investment, what factory do you want to build?" ”

Li Yixuan looked at him quietly, feeling that Han Dazhuang seemed to come with a task today, "How is the display factory?" ”

Han Dazhuang ......

Seeing that he didn't understand, Li Yixuan explained: "You know that I started as an arcade machine, and now I am making a computer, and the computer needs a special monitor, and the computer monitors on the market are not specially configured for the computer, and many times they are directly replaced by TV drama display tubes." In addition, arcade machines also require special picture tubes. Hong Kong is too small, the land is very expensive, and a lot of industrial land is in the hands of the British, and you have to pay a lot of money to get the land. If I want to invest in China, I want to build a display factory. ”

Han Dazhuang has been at Oranges for a few days and knows what a computer monitor is, and for today's China, a computer monitor is absolutely high-tech. They didn't expect Li Yixuan to want to do this, "Computer monitors require high technology, and the investment is also very large, you ......"

"Am I the one who is short of money?" Li Yixuan asked rhetorically: "You don't have to worry about the technology, my company has the technology of making picture tube glass, the production technology of the electric gun, the production technology of phosphor, the light powder coating process technology and the deflection coil technology." In fact, I wanted to build such a factory two years ago, but because Hong Kong does not have such a large piece of land, it has been delayed until now. If I can't get land in Hong Kong, I can only go to Foxconn to cooperate. ”

"This is a complete industrial chain." Han Dazhuang said with emotion, a complete set of industrial chain land will definitely not be small, Hong Kong really can't provide such a large area of land for him to build a display factory. He came to the United States through Hong Kong and knew what Hong Kong was. It's a land of projectiles, and every inch of land is valuable.

He also knew that Foxconn was a company from Taiwan, as if this Mr. Li had a good relationship with them. Han Dazhuang believes that such a factory should also be settled in China.

The amount of information Han Dazhuang received today was too large, and it was far beyond his ability, he looked at Li Yixuan and said, "Mr. Li don't worry, there will be a policy." ”

Li Yixuan looked at him and said, "I hope, I am more concerned about whether my investment will be protected than the policy." Don't let the money be invested, the factory will pick it up, the workers will be trained, and in the end they will turn their faces and deny people. I've seen too many of these things. ”

"Mr. Li should believe in the country." Han Dazhuang said.

"I only trust my own judgment." Li Yixuan didn't want to continue chatting with him, so he picked up his glass and left.
