Section 46 Secrets

At this time the mystery company. Several partners have not received this good news yet. At this time, they were sitting at the table, listening to Alexander talk about the revenue of the TV series.

"The TV series has been broadcast for half a year, and the revenue figures have completely exceeded our expectations. Unlike the TV series we originally thought would be good if it could support us to repay the loan, now our TV series can not only repay the loan, but also leave a part of the ......"

Alexander reported the accounts, but several of his friends around him were a little listless.

"Did you call us here just to talk about money? Since TV series are making money anyway, why do you have to say it in such detail? Tell us directly, how much money you make won't it be over? ”

Clark was complaining about Alexander's approach. TV series make money, who doesn't know this?

The TV series has been filmed for half a year, and in this half year, CSI's ratings are quite amazing, which also makes Levy's company no longer a small company on the edge of the street before, and they are now a relatively hot TV show producer. Any company, after producing a TV series with ratings that rank among the top three in the United States, will have a good income and reputation, and Mystery Company is no exception, and now their income is quite amazing.

CBS makes money, earns advertising fees, and now CSI's interstitial ads have been sold to more than 200,000 yuan in 30 seconds, and CBS naturally earns a lot of money. And the mystery company, what they earn is the peripheral interests and the broadcast rights of other countries, and now their income is just as amazing.

The premiere rights of this TV series were sold for 4 million, which is not particularly high, but after the TV series became popular, the purchase price of the secondary broadcast rights has been speculated very high - the secondary broadcast rights of this drama are said to be able to sell for 800,000 episodes, or even 1 million per episode, it is possible - if there is really this price, then this TV series will even have a record broadcast rights broadcast price, and the secondary broadcast rights alone are enough to earn more than 20 million.

Moreover, this is only a given, there will be no income from any bad pool. In other aspects, broadcasting in other countries should also be able to return enough revenue - not to mention elsewhere, at least now that the Canadian side has begun to contact to buy the broadcast rights. And Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea and other countries are also in contact with the purchase of broadcast rights. Although the money they give may be much less, it is rare to be able to have an episode of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and fortunately, there are many buyers, as long as there are more than a dozen countries broadcasting, this is hundreds of millions of income.

The revenue of TV dramas comes slowly, and there is a high possibility of losing money, but as a TV series with top ratings, there is no need to worry about sales at all.

Moreover, in addition to these, there are also peripheral products, as well as DVD production income. On the one hand, thanks to the help of CBS, those larger companies are very experienced in this area, and the speed of making money is far beyond Levy's imagination. A hit drama, six days after its release, that is, before the next episode is broadcast, there will be a DVD on sale. And all kinds of costumes of the characters in the TV series will also be quickly released in the TV series peripheral market - the TV series peripheral market is very important, and the urban TV series is to ensure that after the new drama is broadcast on Thursday, people can buy the clothes that appear in the drama and wear them to the Saturday party. With the support of these surrounding incomes, CSI's current income is completely unthinkable.

Even, Levy also heard Alexander mention it, because the TV series is relatively popular, and even some game companies have contacted Alexander and have the intention of producing a game of the same name for the TV series, and some of the more famous comic magazines have also expressed their intention to cooperate with the CSI crew and want to produce a comic of the same name. All of this can become money in the future, and Alexander estimates that even if it is conservative to remove the share of DVDs and sub-peripheral products that need to be given to screenwriters, actors, etc., this TV series can provide them with a considerable amount of income in this regard.

Originally, the people in the TV crew were still thinking about whether the TV series would not earn enough peripheral income and would be cut by CBS. But now they don't have to worry about that anymore: the follow-up revenue is almost double the revenue of the premiere rights, and the CBS won't cut its own cash cow even if it's crazy.

The income in all aspects is very high, so that a few friends have lost interest in listening to the bills. When you are short of money, it is better to borrow from the company or withdraw it, so why bother listening to the accounts?

Alexander shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly closed his folder, "Actually, I'm doing my duty...... Of course, you weren't called here for that, but to say something nice about it: Where do you go during Halloween? ”

There is also a gap in the filming of TV dramas. During Halloween, the TV series is off the air for a week, so it's time to discuss plans for a day off.

"We want to go to Vegas, do you want to come with us?" Clark looked up. This plan was actually the first time Levy had heard of it, but when he heard it, he did not object to it: he had not been to Vegas, and he wanted to see it.

"Las Vegas wasn't for me, and since the last time I went there, I've learned to stay away from Las Vegas — no matter how big the numbers are, they're too small in front of the six dots of the dice." Alexander shook his head, "Las Vegas is a good plan, but I have a better plan here, would you be interested in hearing about it?" ”

"Don't sell it, let's talk about it."

"Do you know Victoria's Secret?"

"The brand that sells **? Of course I do. ”

"Hell, I should have thought of it, people like you will definitely know about such a thing as the ** show...... Alexander patted his head, "Victoria's Secret's ** show this year is held in November, before and after the event, there are various parties, I helped you get an invitation." ”

Victoria's Secret ** show? Levi thought about it carefully, these things were not just memories of his previous life, but the ones he had heard people mention in the past few months.

Victoria's Secret ** show, so far, is only held for the third time. Now this show is not as famous as it will be in the future, but it exists as a relatively trendy and alternative ** show. However, although it is not very famous, this show is quite powerful** show, several people have heard of this name, although they have not been there, but they have been fascinated for a long time.

And now, Alexander brought this opportunity and let them go there together.

"We can go to their show, and after the show, we can go to their party. A group of models, and a group of ** models...... I've got a nice Christmas present for you, right? ”

"Christmas is still more than a month away, and, as a Jew, you are still thinking about Christmas, are you worthy of who you are?" Michael complained, but still accepted the kindness without hesitation, "Sounds good, are you interested?" I was going to go to Vegas for Thanksgiving to gamble, but if there is a ** model, the gambling thing can be put aside for a while. ”

"I'm not interested in the ** show, I've seen some, it's not very good," Bob muttered, "I'm not interested in modeling, but since I'm going to New York, we just happened to drop by." I also want to go home and visit my parents. ”

"Can you be a little more boring?" Alexander patted him, "We're the production company of the highest-rated TV series in the United States, can't you just indulge a little bit and celebrate with us?" ”

"I just don't really like parties." Bob opened his mouth, "I won't accompany you, and as compensation, I'll buy all of you tickets to New York." ”

"Who told you that we need to buy a plane ticket to New York this time?" Alexander's eyes widened as he looked at him and smiled, "We don't have to buy a plane ticket - I rented a plane." ”

"You mean, you chartered a private jet for a couple of us to go around New York? Are you crazy? Bob heard Alexander's words and looked back in surprise.

"How much money can I have? It's only 60,000 dollars. What does that money mean to us? It's just two weeks' salary, it's just a little bit of money - Bob, we're rich now, it's not what it used to be, and now we can have a good time! ”

yes, now a couple of people already have money. The periphery of the TV series sold very well, and the crew was not too harsh, and did not deduct the minimum 3% share, but gave a 5% share according to the convention, and Bob's current income is not a lot at all.

"That's right, I'll rent the plane." Bob nodded happily.

"Alright, let's go to New York...... However, the day of the shutdown is approaching, and we will also pay attention to making some arrangements during the Thanksgiving holiday. Alex, the crew, it's the day of the shutdown, go out to travel, you arrange these things. ”

Levy didn't forget, go out to play by yourself, don't ignore the crew, Thanksgiving is coming, the four major TV networks and American dramas will be off the air, under normal circumstances, the big crew will take this opportunity to take the whole crew out to have fun - this can be regarded as a change of direction in the filming of American dramas, not necessary, but a habit.

Levy's crew has never picked the door, during the filming of the TV series, whether it is travel expenses or meals, Levi does not like to pick the door, and when some directors are filming, the accountant has to use his relatives, and the actors can only eat box lunches. Since you are usually very generous, then, when it comes to the tourist season, don't be stingy.

"Don't worry, I've arranged it, the crew will go to Miami for vacation this holiday." Alexander also nodded, "The flight has been contacted, the vacation location over there has also been arranged, we will do the best in these things, the actor is happy, he is not in a hurry to raise his salary, and all the money is back......"

This guy still reckons to money...... Levy shook his head and didn't bother with him anymore, "Then let's get ready, it's time for us to leave for New York for a vacation." ”

A few people and partners were a little interested this time, and they all set off and began to prepare for the trip to New York. In the office, Bob, who was walking at the back, was stopped by Levy when he was about to walk out of the office.

"Bob, there's something I'd like to ask you to help with."

"I'm just going to say you can't just let us know how much money the company has...... What else do you need to hide from them? ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I want to ask you to help me revise a script...... The script of the film, the script of the film I want to shoot. ”
