"Our goal is to surpass the 3 million magazine sales mark by the end of the year!"

Early the next morning, when the sales data of "Tianyu Boy" magazine came out, the editor-in-chief Shi Chengcheng announced at the meeting: "Not only the sales break through this mark, but also let the sales stabilize above this number!" Gentlemen, "Slam Dunk" is obviously a phenomenal comic work, and more importantly, its author has more influence than our editorial department, and it will reach its peak when those animated songs come out, which is a great opportunity for our magazine......"

……

"At ten o'clock in the evening, the second season of "Criminal Minds" will meet you at ten o'clock in the evening on Beijing Satellite TV, see you or leave!"

Also in the early morning, Sun Peng impatiently sent a message under Lin Lin's several reminders, reminding his fans to watch the two episodes of the second season.

Less than ten minutes after the Weibo was posted, there were thousands of comments on the back.

"Haha, it's been ready for a long time!"

"I'm looking forward to it, I've been waiting for a long time, and it's finally going to start"

"It's time for school to start, how can it be broken without a TV? Can only wait for delayed paid viewing on the network? ”

"What is Criminal Minds? What does it have to do with Lao Bai? ”

"It means that I have pre-ordered the whole season on Golden Eagle Video in advance, and I am waiting for the update!"

"Upstairs upstairs, "Criminal Minds" is a TV series, the script written by Lao Bai, it's very good!"

……

"By the way, why is the second season still on Beijing Satellite TV?"

After posting on Weibo, he suddenly remembered something, Sun Peng couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "The ratings of our show in the last season were so high, the second season should be very popular, right?" Beijing Satellite TV is the most midstream level in the country, why not change to a TV station like Blue Ocean Satellite TV? ”

"Where do I know, maybe it's because of the high bid?"

Looking at the comments under his Weibo, Lin Lin replied casually.

"Bid...... High? ”

Hearing this answer, Sun Peng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He knows that the production cost of the second season of "Criminal Minds" has increased by at least 50% compared to the first season! Because each leading actor has re-signed a contract, the salary has risen sharply, and Qian Hong, Lin Lin and another handsome guy who is very popular have risen even more amazingly, all of which have doubled several times!

Of course, because their previous salaries were really low, even if they doubled a few times, they couldn't compare to the big stars.

However, as the salaries of directors, screenwriters and other main creative personnel have also doubled, especially the screenwriters, because this time Sun Peng only provided the original case script, their revisions were very large, and the salary increased amazingly. In addition, the audience has higher expectations for the second season, and there is also the demand for overseas TV stations......

All of these factors add up, and the result is a huge spike in production costs.

The last time I chatted with my brother-in-law Zhao Jinxiang, the other party had a headache and said that the production cost of an episode had exceeded 8.5 million, and it continued to rise. And Lao Zhao is even more worried that if the results of the second season are excellent, the production cost of the third season is bound to soar further!

Thinking of this, Sun Peng couldn't help it, and asked, "Lin Lin, do you know how much Beijing Satellite TV is offering?" ”

"Uh......"

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Lin Lin shook her head and said, "I don't know how much it is, but I heard my brother-in-law mention it last time, it should be the same as the production cost or slightly exceeded?" Anyway, one thing is for sure, the purchase fee of Beijing Satellite TV alone is enough to recover the cost! ”

“…… I'll go! ”

After listening to Lin Lin's answer, Sun Peng couldn't help but exclaim!

In addition to being able to cut out the TV series in his head into scripts, he is indeed a layman now, but it doesn't mean that Sun Peng doesn't understand: in addition to the TV station's purchase of broadcast rights, there are also network revenues, as well as the income of the second and third rounds of broadcast rights, as well as the income of overseas copyrights, right?

The cost of Beijing Satellite TV alone has been recovered, so isn't the rest pure earning?

"And this time, it's not just the Golden Eagle video that will be launched at the same time!"

Seeing her cousin's surprised look, Lin Lin suddenly felt a little proud: "I heard my brother-in-law say that this time there are three TV stations in South Korea and Southeast Asia that will be broadcast simultaneously, and if you are in the United States, CBS is also going to try TV broadcasting this time!" ”

“……”

After being silent for a long time, Sun Peng began to get the mobile phone on the table.

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

"What? Of course, I called my brother-in-law! "Criminal Minds" is selling so well, I have to ask them when exactly they will pay dividends? I haven't seen a dime until now......"

……

Just when Sun Peng was pondering the benefits he deserved, and fans were looking forward to the start of the second season of "Criminal Minds" at ten o'clock in the evening, a music program was launched on the other side of the ocean.

CBS TV's "Music Review of the Week", a music program with quite good ratings.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!"

After the action-packed intro, host Helen? Fiona walked out and smiled enthusiastically, "Welcome to Music Review of the Week, I'm your friend Helen!" ”

"First of all, let's pay attention to last week's billboard, Fei Fei from Huaxia? Chen continued to be popular, and "Rolling in the Deep" continued to consolidate the top position, winning three consecutive championships! And the other nine new songs all entered the TOP20, creating a Billboard miracle! At the same time, singer Luo, who is also from China, began to decline slowly under the impact of Chen, but there are still four songs that stick to the top 20......"

"What we can see is that although in the traditional summer market, American singers have released a lot of records, including new albums by Lilith, Armstrong and other kings and queens, but under the impact of a pair of Chinese singers, their results are far from meeting expectations......"

"Now that the summer is coming to an end, we can finally come to a conclusion - that is, the Chinese have ruled this summer, and they have never been so successful as this summer in their history!"

……

"After studying Luo and Chen's new album, we quickly came to the conclusion that their success is inseparable from one person, and that is "laobai"! Yes, it's a very weird name, in fact, if you go back and look at Law's experts last year, the most selling and most popular songs, including sugar, etc., their lyrics are also from this weird name......"

In order to find out who "laobai" is and what kind of character this musical genius is, our "Weekly Music Review" specially contacted Huaxia Chen, and then got Laobai's contact information, and conducted an exclusive interview with him! ”

"So now, let's take a look at what kind of person this super genius has stirred up the entire North American music market......
