Chapter 264:, is this ticket price a money grab?
"What is this? Could it be that the two Yankees have agreed to pay us 65% of our share? ”
Brother Xiao reached out suspiciously and took over the stack of things similar to contracts, and was about to look at it, but Gao Yan stretched out his hand to block him, and said with a smile: "You guessed not quite right, guess again!" ”
Damn, how old are you still playing this kind of trick?
Brother Chic glanced at him, pushed away his palm and said, "If it's really signed, you can go for a visa and book a ticket!" Now the news is breaking in China that I am going to New York for a commercial performance! ”
"So fast?"
Gao Yan was slightly stunned, but he was not as impatient as someone imagined, and soon said casually: "If it is exposed, it will be exposed!" Anyway, our contract has already been signed, and there are really reporters running to surround me, and I am not afraid at all. ”
"Hehe, did you really sign according to our requirements? Not bad! ”
Brother Chic didn't even look at the previous terms, because Gao Yan spent a lot of money to ask the barrister in Shanghai to help finalize this contract, and he hadn't signed it himself, if there was a problem, this contract would not be established, so he directly looked at the terms of Zuihou that involved the sharing, and sure enough, it was 65% of the share, and the performance company only got 35%.
Of course, the tax declaration is still filed in the name of the other company, and then the tax is deducted and divided, and Brother Xiao has to declare 20% of the performance income tax in the local tax office of the United States.
"Then sign it! I'm going to hand them over the contract and take it back to the United States soon! ”
Gao Yan handed out a pen as he spoke, and Brother Xiao took it and was about to sign it, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Other questions are all small things." How is the ticket price arranged? ”
"This ...... It's a bit expensive......" Gao Yan hesitated.
Expensive?
Brother Chic frowned. "How much are they going to ask for?"
Gao Yan bit his lip and said, "Didn't we set the range between the lowest and highest levels between $199~$3999?" But they think. According to the market economy, when the demand exceeds the supply, it is inevitable to increase the price appropriately, so they insist on $399 ~ $4999 a piece, and even launch 50 limited edition VIP ...... priced at $9999
"Damn, is this a money grab?"
Brother Xiao immediately burst into anger, glared at Gao Yan and said, "Brother Yan." I'm going to talk about you this time, if you calculate the price, the tickets for American superstars are generally only about $100! We want a starting price of $200 a piece, which is already a super high price, and they have to double it? If we can't sell it then, or if we are criticized by the whole United States, how much will we lose? How can you agree to such a clause? ”
This time, someone is really angry, his first foreign performance! Crucial, okay? It is true that legitimate interests should be actively pursued, but it can't be so black! This Nimadu is more expensive than a ticket to a show in Vienna's Musikverein. Do you really take the Americans as the main culprit? Or do you think that every foreigner is a rich man worth millions of dollars?
Oh, my God. The most expensive package is $5,000 a ticket, not to mention, it's not a VIP ticket on the surface? That person is going to buy this so-called first-tier seat?
"Chic ......"
Gao Yan, who had been trained, looked a little sad. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth, biting his lip and standing silently.
Brother Chic glanced at him, flipped the contract back, and then, he said "Huh": "Brother Yan, this ticket price has only increased by one grade!" By the way, and the VIP box of this stadium is 9999 one? Is this the VIP ticket you're talking about? ”
"Hmm!" Gao Yan responded, looking a little weak, and his face was gloomy.
Brother Chic looked at him, suddenly smiled and slapped him on the shoulder: "Okay, wouldn't it be nice to make it clear if there is a misunderstanding between men?" I'm sorry, I blamed you! Brother Yan, you can't be so stingy and angry, right? ”
"Holy! You tell me? ”
Gao Yan grinned and rubbed his shoulder, and slapped it angrily and laughing, just on someone's arm, making a crisp sound of "pop".
"It's time for the anger to go away, right?" Brother Chic asked with a smile without anything to do.
"Forget it, Lao Tzu is not your girlfriend, so sensual!"
Gao Yan couldn't help but smile, took the contract text, and then turned to the ticket price column and said: "All concerts are closer to the stage, the more expensive the ticket price is, and the NBA venue is just a circular staircase, which is very suitable for watching performances, and the seats in the front row can even talk to the players at any time, so the ticket prices here have always been very expensive, and it makes sense to sell 4999 a ticket, after all, there are not many seats in the first row, only more than 400, and the second row is reduced by 400 US dollars, It's only 4599, and then the farther away from the stadium the cheaper it gets, and if the top level can't see the inside of the stadium at all, it's only $399. ”
Brother Chic didn't speak, puffed out his cheeks and thought for a while before saying, "What about the price of the box?" Seems too far upstairs, right? Who can see the details of my performance? ”
"Hehe, you don't understand this, do you?"
Gao Yan raised an index finger and said, "Do you think you are really a fan when you sit in the box?" Wrong, that's where the rich people used that place to talk about business and tie up. Even if you don't pull the relationship, sit high and see far, sip red wine, smoke cigars, and even have a beautiful secretary massage throughout the whole process, and you can watch high-definition replay ...... on the big TV in the box at any time, these high-end enjoyment, do you feel uncomfortable? ”
"Mighty and domineering!"
The high-end atmosphere and high-grade enjoyment of these rich people really made Brother Chic listen leisurely, and he could only give such an evaluation of a bunker.
"Don't you think it's expensive, do you?" Gao Yan asked with a smile.
"It's not expensive, I even want to increase the price of the box!"
Someone is already a little unhappy at this time, Nima, buddy is performing the stage below, while you fat so-called upper-class people are sitting in luxurious boxes enjoying a high-end life, sleeping. Brother envy, jealousy and hatred!
Of course. The price increase is just a joke. Unless one day, someone becomes a real international superstar, then he will definitely make the price of the box sky-high, but there are still N pot-bellied local tyrants who are eager to "donate money".
"No kidding, do you have any questions?"
Gao Yan smiled and said: "Your time is very tight, we agreed to be officially held on October 25th, US time, that is, next Wednesday at 19:30~22:00, just 10 days away." Therefore, the sooner this contract is signed, they can also go back early to prepare for various matters, such as publicity and ticket sales are the top priority. ”
"I'll just ask a question!" Brother Chic put away his smile, "I saw just now that there was a sponsor and a commemorative video for sale, how did you get this thing?" ”
"Sponsors, that's where they negotiate, that is, when the time comes, there will be some billboards in your performance venue, and that's sponsorship. Manufacturers have to spend money to buy a location, and we divide the money equally. Maybe it's hundreds of thousands of dollars! ”
Gao Yan immediately made an explanation, well, in fact, this explanation was only known after he asked the lawyer and the negotiator on the US side.
Seeing that Brother Chic nodded to show that he understood, he then said: "As for the sale of the performance videotape, this is also our equal share of the profits, although it is a bit of a loss, loud people have sales channels!" They promise to declare the copyright of your performance tape, and then they will advertise and sell it, and if it is done well, it will be no problem to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”
Damn, is this buying a videotape as an album?
Brother Chic was stunned, he never thought that acting videos could make so much money!
Nima, it doesn't matter if you sell tickets, the videotape can still be sold as an album, and even because of copyright issues, if some TV programs want to play some clips of the videotape, people have to pay for the broadcast copyright, otherwise they will be sued, and it is necessary to lose money and daoqian.
"These Yankees really deserve to come out of a commercial country! It's time to make money! ”
Brother Chic sighed in admiration, and hurriedly asked, "Then do they still have any tricks to make money?" Except for billboards and videotapes. ”
"There's another way, but it might be a little harder!" Gao Yan nodded and said.
I'll go, is there really one?
Someone was so impressed that he immediately asked, "Then tell me what way!" How much do you earn? ”
"Find a TV station to do the live broadcast!" Gao Yan directly threw out the bomb and almost blew someone over.
Live on TV? Is this a joke?
Brother Chic's eyes widened, he almost fainted, and looked at Gao Yan in disbelief.
If this special performance is made live, then who will pay a high price for tickets? How nice it is to sit right at home and watch TV! You can lie down as much as you want, you don't think it's exciting, and you can change the channel immediately, so why spend money to enjoy the crowding on the spot?
Therefore, he immediately shook his head again and again and said: "This is not good, absolutely not, and it is not a platter performance, how can a special performance be live?" The recording is almost the same! ”
Gao Yan smiled: "I was also shocked at the time, but after listening to their explanation, I realized that if we can really broadcast live, we can actually earn more!" ”
No one will be disgusted with too much money, and the layman of course Brother Chic is no exception.
He immediately asked, "How did you earn it?" Could it be that the TV station directly gave us $5 million? Well, that's not bad! ”
"You're thinking beautiful!"
Gao Yan said with a smile: "The TV station will give money, but it will not exceed 2 million at most, and then there will be a TV station and the organizer to contact advertisers and sell them advertising hours, such as how many tens of thousands in a few seconds, how many tens of thousands in a minute, if everyone is optimistic about your performance, after investigation, it is found that everyone's expectations are very high, and the advertising cost is more than 10 million, and then, this advertising fee is shared by the TV station, the organizer and us, if more, we can benefit more than 3 million US dollars." ”
Tut-tut, Lao Tzu is really speechless!
Brother Chic was really amazed, he shook his head and said: "The live broadcast is indeed likely to make a lot of money, but the risk is also big, because if the live broadcast is live, the ticket price will definitely drop sharply, we can only hope that the advertising will sell well, but it is too troublesome, and the operation is also very cumbersome, I will never do this kind of thing, it is better to choose to record it!" If we sell the broadcast rights a few more times, we will actually make a lot of money. ”
"Hehe, I think so too, no problem, then sign it!" Gao Yan nodded and handed over the pen. (To be continued......)
