Chapter 101: Producers and Dividends (Third Update!) 1/28)

Xuluo was stunned.

Immediately, my heart was overjoyed.

It's really called drowsiness, hand over the pillow.

I'm worried that I don't have any money, so you're going to send me $2 million?

With this $2 million, pick a little bit, and the 10 episodes of "Friends" have been settled.

Although 3 episodes are enough to pilot, the weight of 10 episodes is heavier.

Although he was happy in his heart, the boy was no longer the boy he was today.

After going through many things, his current mind and city government have improved too much.

He frowned first: "Michael, I treat you as a friend and want to take you to glory together, but you are so ugly? 50% of all interests?

Do you know what I'm expecting from Friends? It can shoot at least 8 seasons! If it can reach this point, the profit of various rights and interests will be at least as high as 300 million!

You only invest 2 million US dollars, and then the director and producer, you want to get 150 million? Such a good business, can you introduce it to me?"

To date, the TV series of Mikoku have been developing for almost 70 years.

In such a long period of time, TV dramas have formed a very strict industrial chain and are very mature.

Ordinary people may not go to the movies every day, but housewives who watch TV series every day abound.

So many popular TV series can make a lot of money.

Not to mention the far "Happy Hotel", "The Legend of Seinfeld", which was popular last year, Jerry Seinfeld, the writer, director, producer and protagonist, in the second season of this year, N paid him $300,000 per episode! This does not include income from his other statuses.

If "Seinfeld" can be filmed for 6 seasons, that is, almost more than 100 episodes, more rights can be developed, then his income will soar again.

Earning 350 million a year is the same as playing.

The point is that this can last, every replay, every reprint of the tape, all kinds of licensing, etc., that is a long time, twenty or thirty years can bring Jerry Seinfeld a lot of income.

Therefore, the expectation that "Friends" will be produced for 8 seasons and receive a total of 300 million US dollars is not an exaggeration.

Of course, the premise is that "Friends" is so popular that it can be filmed for an eighth season.

Michael Craton is also well aware of this, and he retorts in turn: "Eight seasons are what you said, what if "Friends" can only be filmed for two or three seasons and will not be popular? There are so many regular episodes, all of which are anticlimactic, and there is no follow-up."

"Michael." Xuluo looked at him, "You can finish reading the 60 episodes of the script I wrote today, and if you still think that it can only be made for two or three seasons, then I have nothing to say." But with your eyes, can't you really see it?"

"Huh!"

Michael Calla laughed and said, "The script must be a good script. But I'm also taking a lot of risk, so I can't think about it a little more...... How much do I deserve from your point of view? You know, you just provided the copyright to the script, and I did everything else."

"No, no, no!" Xuluo shook his head, "In addition to the script, I also found the best director and producer, and then I will pick the most suitable actors...... With all this, it's hard not to succeed!"

….

I have to say that Xuluo's words tickled Michael Craton very much.

He thinks highly of himself, but the movies he has made before have not been very successful, at least compared to his books, they are much worse.

So this is also the pain in Michael Creaton's heart.

He desperately wants to prove to others that he is a genius and an all-rounder!

Now "Friends" is a great opportunity.

TV dramas are easier to shoot than movies, and indoor sitcoms are better than outdoor action TV dramas and thriller TV series, especially on the basis of a good script.

Now Xuluo still writes the script in such detail, he only needs on-site guidance, so that the actors can shoot according to the script

If you perform well, you will complete the task satisfactorily.

If only he could tune well... Teach the actors, then it is not impossible for "Friends" to go to the next level.

So in Michael Claretton, "Friends" will definitely succeed, the difference is just how successful it is.

Don't think that he only watched the sub-script of "Friends" for three episodes, and it seems too arbitrary to make such a judgment.

People are famous, and they have a very sensitive nerve for words, so they can know the general idea at a glance, let alone watch three episodes carefully.

As his thoughts passed, Michael Cleat coughed lightly: "I also partially agree with you, but we are ordinary people after all, and we still have to talk about profit distribution."

"Why don't you do that......

Xuluo groaned and said, "How about we have a tiered dividend ratio? If the total profit reaches $100 million, I will give you 30%, $200 million is 25%, and more than $300 million is 20% share, and this 20% share is the final percentage."

Michael Cleat thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "40%, 30%, 25% is more appropriate...... Don't be busy refusing, I'm willing to add another 3 million, for a total of $5 million. And then I don't get paid by the director and producer, it's all included in the share, aren't you satisfied?"

The young man forcibly resisted the idea of agreeing immediately, and said, "I'll go back and discuss with my friends and give you an answer as soon as possible."

Michael Cleaton smiled and said, "Don't worry, I hope to cooperate with you more, believe in me and believe in yourself, we will succeed!"

Xuluo also laughed, "I'm looking forward to that day!"

……

In the evening, Chen Xiyue and Yu Feihong, who had still found nothing, were surprised and delighted when they heard the news told by Xuluo.

"Xiao Luo, you are amazing!" Chen Xiyue couldn't help but hug him, and said happily: "Sister originally thought that your trip to the dock would encounter setbacks, but I didn't expect you to find another way to enter the field of TV dramas!"

Yu Feihong looked at the eldest sister of the beautiful **, her heart was sour, but she remembered that this sister only developed in the country of Mi and would not pose any threat to herself, so she felt steady.

She asked curiously, "Sister Chen, is it so promising to do TV dramas in Miguo?"

"Mikoku's TV series is pretty good." Chen Xiyue replied, "Once you make a hit, you will get a lot of money, honor and power, and become a guest of honor at Hollywood...... have you seen "Seinfeld"? The newspapers of Mi Guo have analyzed that as long as he continues like this and does not collapse, it will be easy for him to earn 500 million US dollars!"

….

"$500 million!?"

Yu Feihong opened her mouth cutely, "A TV series!?"

"It's not as simple as a TV series." Chen Xiyue said: "Miguo's TV series is very peculiar, as long as there are audiences watching it, they can continue to do it, compared to BS's daytime soap opera "Guiding Light", which has been broadcast non-stop for more than 50 years, there have been many episodes so far, and it will continue!"

Yu was even more shocked.

It is broadcast every day, and a total of more than 50 years of TV series with many episodes have been broadcast, and I have never heard of it, let alone seen it.

The people of Mi are really wonderful.

Chen Xiyue continued: "Of course, there are very few things like 'Guiding Light', and generally speaking, a TV series that can be broadcast for more than 3 seasons is a good TV series - one season represents a year's broadcast season;

If it can be broadcast for more than 6 seasons, it will be a popular TV series, and the money-making effect is calculated in billions; If it's more than ten seasons, then basically you don't have to do anything else in this life, it's enough to eat copyright all the time."

"Yes!"

Xuluo continued, "My hope for 'Friends' is that it will run for more than 6 seasons. Looking at the meaning of Michael Callaton today, he is also optimistic, otherwise he would not be so positive...... $5 million! Enough for me

We've done all the pre-production, and it's not impossible to shoot even 30 episodes!"

"Of course not." Chen Xiyue waved his hand, "Don't compare us Chinese people to them! The Mikook actor is too squeamish, he doesn't work overtime, he doesn't shoot in dangerous situations, and he doesn't do work that is not in line with the contract. Everything must be done strictly according to the contract, and the money that should be paid cannot be saved."

The boy shrugged, "Okay! Sister, tell me, how do I talk to Michael Crease?"

"Leave it to me!"

Chen Xiyue said without hesitation: "His conditions are reasonably good, but we still have to cut some down, don't let him feel that it is too easy!" And you can't have no monitoring of him, if they all become his one-person hall, you won't be able to control it in the future! Maybe he can join forces with the actors to force you to the palace."

"I've thought about that, too." Xuluo said: "So sister, I have to work hard for you, help me keep an eye on the crew, you are also my favorite producer."

"Huh!?"

Chen Xiyue was surprised, "I'm going to stare at the crew? Am I no longer at work?"

Yu Feihong understood what Xuluo meant: "Sister Chen, how happy are you now fighting with the giants of Haolaiwu every day? Isn't that more enjoyable than sitting in the office? Why do you want to go back to that square inch and bury your head in the company of words?"

Hey......

Mr. Yu, what you say is very tasteful!

Xu Luo sighed in his heart, and said, "Sister, that's what I mean! Who else but you can reassure me? Aren't you here to press the formation, can you watch Michael Cratton turn "Friends" into his hall of words, so as to occupy the magpie's nest and turn the guest into the main?"

Chen Xiyue groaned unconsciously.

After a moment, she nodded earnestly, "You're all right, it's true! I love the life of intrigue with them and the fierce negotiation with them...... It's really more interesting than the previous job!"

….

Xuluo breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, although we are our own people, I can't make a distinction between public and private...... I'll give you an annual salary of $200,000 first, and then "Friends" will have your 5% dividend...... Don't be too little."

Chen Xiyue smiled dumbly and said, "Is this still called less? I'm only more than $4,000 a month now, and you're paying 5 times as much as your salary, not to mention the dividends of "Friends"! According to your calculations, this must not be at least $15 million? I'm a millionaire!"

After a pause, she shook her head again and said, "I'll take the annual salary, after all, living in the country of Mi, you have to use money everywhere...... But you don't have to give me the dividends of "Friends", I'll go talk to Michael Kellai, I'll take 1% if I talk about 1%, and I'll take 5% if I talk about 5%!"

"No, no, no." Xu Luo hurriedly said, "Sister, if you can talk about 2%-3% at most, it's powerful enough, how can it be 5%, isn't it getting less and less?" You're carrying a lot of responsibility!"

"No, the first time we work together, I can't be too greedy." Chen Xiyue smiled and shook his hand, "That's it! I hope that "Friends" can become popular in Miguo as you imagined, so that my dividends can be more and realize my dream of becoming a rich woman as soon as possible! When the time comes, I want your aunt to die of hunger!"

Poor Chen Xiyue, she didn't know that Xuluo was actually more than that.

The boy's calculations are too much.

Friends is only one aspect.

When "Beijingers in New York" comes to Miguo to shoot, won't Chen Xiyue also have to take on the responsibility of producer?

Void Luo doesn't waste a little manpower!
