In September 2009, after a series of pulls, the first wave of income from "My Love from the Star" finally arrived.

The rest of the crew's budget is not moved, it is kept for publicity, and the income is to go to another account book, which is divided by each family, and the blue whale finally saw the first money after Wei Yang took over.

The number is not bad, about 15 million, and if the follow-up goes well, there will be more than 12 million left, and before the end of the year, it should be all there.

If there are no accidents!

The film and television industry has always had the problem of difficulty in recovering money, and the film industry is okay, after all, the theater market is unified, and the money earned is the real money of the audience, basically after the film is released, it will get the box office in 3~6 months.

As for other TV copyrights, overseas copyrights, commercial advertisements, network copyrights, peripheral derivatives and other income, dividends will be paid regularly according to a predetermined cycle.

The TV drama industry, including later online dramas, is relatively more complicated, because the platform side is not unified.

When you get the money and how much you can get depends on when the TV station and website give it.

Putting aside the online drama and the platform for the time being, in the current TV drama market, the distribution is still very particular.

The TV station will not send you all the money at one time, it will probably be divided into three stages: signing, bringing and broadcasting, and under normal circumstances, the balance will be settled 20~30 days after the TV series is broadcast.

Of course, this is only under normal circumstances, and there are currently no more than 10 TV stations in China that can do this.

Most TV stations can pay back 50% in the short term, and it will even take two to three years to settle the final payment.

There are even some cases where the accounts are delayed to the end and are not known.

Even if many film and television companies can sell their dramas, they still go out of business because they are grinded to death by arrears.

Therefore, the reason why the producer likes to cooperate with big TV stations such as Modu, Hunan Province, and Suzhou Province is because of the pleasure of people's money.

Many film and television companies would rather sell cheaper with big TV stations than choose second- and third-tier satellite TV with higher bids, the reason is that the latter price is high, but they don't know when the money will be given.

Weigh the pros and cons, regardless of earning more or less, it must be true to get the money first.

But then again, this is the market for normal TV dramas, and some hot dramas can still avoid this.

After all, no matter how poor a provincial TV station is, it still has a budget of tens of millions to buy dramas, plus advertising revenue, and it is still willing to go out to buy popular models.

"Ling from the Stars", as the hottest drama to be broadcast in the industry, cooperates with two major stations in Hunan Province and Suzhou Province, but there is no need to worry too much about the final payment.

On the contrary, the second and third rounds have to mumble.

Blue Whale still has the arrears of "The Best of Us" and "Orange Sheng Huainan" unsettled.

However, if the premiere data of "My Love from the Star" is really powerful, it will be coaxed by various TV stations, the price will increase, and the payment method can naturally be negotiated.

But this is all for the future, this fund has arrived, and Wei Yang finally doesn't have to worry about the blue whale not being able to hold on and go out of business.

He himself can also withdraw his own money and plug some holes to achieve debt-free (except for mortgages.........

At the same time, Wei Yang, who finally got rich, could no longer hold back his ambitions.

Lao Tzu wants to engage in a career!

…

Blue Whale Meeting Room

Wei Yang met with several senior executives of the company and chatted about the company's next development.

The short-term focus is definitely "You from the Stars", but it can't be spent on one project.

In the past, the blue whale had no money, and no matter how many thoughts he had, he could only hold it in his heart, but now that he finally has the confidence, he can toss and toss more.

At present, Blue Whale also has a "First Time in This Life", which cooperates with the Tang people, one party contributes funds to the script + participates in the production, and one party contributes funds + leads the production, and the account is divided into five or five.

The investment in this drama is not high, and the investment is not more than 10 million, and it is estimated that 700~8 million is enough.

Half of each, the blue whale must have paid for it, but Wei Yang didn't take it all directly.

"Wasn't Boss Sun very interested in continuing to invest before, you can talk to him, let him give 3 million yuan, and we will give him 15%~20% share."

This Boss Sun is one of the investors of "You from the Stars" and a coal boss, but the scale is far less than that of Lao Zheng and Han.

But Wei Yang likes him a lot, he is happy to give money, he doesn't like to mix, and he doesn't know how to do it, how you operate it is your business, and in the end, you just need to make money for him.

The blue whale is small, and the film and television industry is risky, even if Wei Yang is hanging, he can't guarantee that every project can be earned.

Naturally, it is necessary to pull more people to share the risk!

For example, in the project "This Life is the First Time", Blue Whale took out a small share to directly meet most of the investment funds.

It is equivalent to spending the least money and earning the most, and coming and going is equivalent to half-white prostitution.

Wei Yang is still more particular, he calculated it, he is named screenwriter of "This Life is the First Time", and the lineup and plot are also reasonable.

If it goes well, Boss Sun will take 15~20% of the share of 3 million, and there will still be some money.

Wei Yang's business principle is that investors can be "trapped", but they must be made by people.

If you make money for others, even if you make more, normal businessmen will think that you have the ability, and even because you helped make money, you can continue to cooperate next time.

Boss Sun may not understand film and television, but he may not know that the blue whale "prostitutes" him.

But so what?

The project channel is Weiyang's, he has the final say on how to divide the meat, and it will be over if he can make money!

This is the case with "You from the Stars", his investment ratio and share are not fair, but Boss Sun saw the money back.

This is the first time he has made money after investing in three or four crews, and according to the general estimate of the blue whale, his final return on investment will be at least more than 35%.

With such a high return on investment, the cycle is less than a year, which is certainly not comparable to loan sharks, but it is definitely more worth than depositing in a bank, and the money is clean.

For some coal bosses, the latter is more attractive than a high rate of return......

If you want to make the film and television industry bigger, you can't do it without financial support, the speed of hematopoiesis is too slow on your own, and the risk is high.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Cai Yinong has a conservative personality, is particularly wary of capital, and is always accustomed to being a sole proprietor and a workshop-style operation.

The disadvantage is that the funds are all pressed in one play, the turnover cannot be opened, the business cannot be expanded, and the risk is extremely high.

Wei Yang does not plan to learn from the Tang Dynasty, but he will not raise money to attract foreign capital.

This money is easy to get, but there are endless troubles!

Although Cai Yinong of the Tang Dynasty is conservative, he does not understand the benefits of attracting foreign funds, and the most important thing is that he is afraid of being kicked out by others, so he would rather not be bigger, but also keep his own hard work.

In the same way, let Wei Yang engage in content creation and manage the company by himself, but he really has no confidence in helping the capitalists who eat people and don't spit out bones.

Wei Yang is also a little conservative in his bones, but he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Tang people, so he has been thinking about how to use foreign funds safely.

Not only does the company have money to use, it can develop and grow, but it will not be usurped and seize the position, and maintain independence and the right to speak.

Then the key is to select the source of external funds, and try to achieve only money and no power.

It's hard to say in the future for the time being, but judging from the current market environment, Wei Yang feels that the coal boss is relatively a good partner to work with.

Rich, and not power-grabbing!

If possible, Wei Yang's follow-up focus on contacting and wooing the target is mainly the coal boss and the local capital of the magic capital, with money, power, and connections, plus some film and television companies around the magic capital to cooperate and communicate.

It's hard to dominate the entertainment industry, but there is still hope for a small hill.........

"This is the First Time in My Life" is a cooperation with the Tang people, and some of it has to be given to other investors, and the income is not much, mainly to praise people.

Another project that Weiyang values more is the focus of income.

That is, "Hello, Old Times", one of the previously mentioned Zhenhua trilogy.

This drama has already come out, and the creative background is somewhat different from the original time and space, but there are still many similarities.

Wei Yang once thought about writing it himself, but later felt that it was too troublesome, so he simply bought the copyright, revised it, and made it the last song of the trilogy.

With the first two works as the foundation, "Hello, Old Times" will definitely not sell, and it will never be cheap.

Coupled with the limited cost and the rate of return is very considerable, Wei Yang did not hesitate to let the blue whale eat alone.

The estimated cost is 1000~15 million, and the female protagonist is determined to be Liu Shishi, the male protagonist

Just like the previous "Tangerine Sheng Huainan" invited Hu Ge, it was to expose and raise the price, the male and female protagonists had to have at least one of them to carry the publicity.

Now that "Hello, Old Times" has Liu Shishi, coupled with the fame of the original work, the attention is definitely enough, so the male protagonist doesn't need to be too popular, and the cost performance is not high, so it is better to use it to support newcomers.

It's just that the blue whale is holding it for its own sake, or taking it out in exchange for benefits, Wei Yang hasn't figured it out for the time being.

The project "Hello, Old Times" was successfully established almost without any obstacles.

When Wei Yang took over, many people thought that Blue Whale would do the Zhenhua trilogy first, but he sacrificed his life to shoot "You from the Star".

Now that Wei Yang has won the bet, the strength of the blue whale has soared, and he can easily engage in this project and increase the strength of the company.

After "My Love from the Star", the Blue Whale team has grown a lot in all aspects.

Not to mention, I already had the experience of the first two films, and filming "Hello, Old Times" is simply handy.

Wei Yang also rarely let go of the power, the director Liu Junjie and the producer are responsible for forming the crew, if the progress is smooth, it can be started at the end of the year or early next year.

After chatting about two small-cost dramas, Wei Yang finally talked about today's highlights, which is also the real core project of Blue Whale in the next step-

"East Palace"

The next chapter was lost, and I waited for two hours
