Chapter 152 “Will Night” copyright fee!!

Today Jiang Feng is still filming in the crew, and someone personally came to find him to visit.

This was still brought by Zeng Jia, and Jiang Feng didn’t know it.

“Jiang Feng, this is Yuku’s editor-in-chief Ma Zhenhua, he wants to come and talk to you about the film copyright and the copyright of your TV series “Will Night”.”

After Zeng Jia brought someone over, he immediately explained to Jiang Feng

“Hello Editor-in-Chief Ma.”

Jiang Feng shook hands with Editor Ma.

Editor Ma was also very happy and went straight to the topic: “That’s right, I came this time, and I also learned from a friend that your TV series “Will Night” is a very rare good work. ”

“And I also heard that you don’t plan to broadcast it on TV, you want it on the Internet.”

What Editor Ma asked, Jiang Feng probably knew.

“There is an idea.”

Jiang Feng admitted that he did have this idea.

Now the domestic Internet, for now, Yuku is the largest Internet video platform.

Penguin Videos and other video sites were not as good as Yuku in 2009.

Now the most popular are Yuku and Digua.com.

“If it’s an exclusive Internet premiere, do you think it’s okay?”

Editor Ma told Jiang Feng his plan, that is, he wanted the exclusive Internet broadcast rights of this drama.

“It’s not a question of whether it’s okay or not, the key is to see what price your website offers.”

“First of all, my drama has a total of 83 episodes with more than 2 million books.”

“The total investment is more than 160 million, if you want exclusive broadcast rights, of course I will sell it.”

“But Editor Ma, you also know that the copyright fee of the TV series must be at least twice the cost, which can be regarded as a return on the capital and a little money.”

Jiang Feng, as a producer, must know these very well.

TV dramas are taxed three times more than movies, with TV dramas taxed at 20% and movies at just 6%.

In other words, if the copyright fee of the TV series is calculated according to 10 million, it will pay a tax of 2 million, and the remaining 8 million will also deduct the cost, and finally the money will be earned.

Will night, invest 160 million, the collection alone will exceed 2 million, if the price sold is also 2 million a episode, that is an investment of 160 million, and the final copyright fee is also 160 million, in this case, after deducting the tax of 32 million, there will be 128 million left.

This 12.8 billion cannot even get the cost back, let alone make money.

Therefore, the copyright fee of the TV series, at least 1.5 times the cost to return the cost, twice the money to earn movies, theaters, theaters add up to take away 57% of the box office, there is still 5% of the film fund tax, 3% of the relevant tax, and finally the distributor, the producer to share the remaining 35%.

10 million box office, in the end there is 3.5 million left, and the cost is deducted.

“Is the production cost of your show so high?”

When Editor Ma heard this, he was taken aback.

“Yes, this is a TV series with huge domestic investment, and it is even higher than “Immortal Sword”.”

“Because of this movie, there are many Hong Kong stars starring, Li Ming, Zheng Shaoqiu and others.”

“There are still many powerful people starring in this work, and at the same time, Zhao Liying, and Li Yi are all starring in this work, so the cost of this work is very high.”

“I dare not assure you that this work can surpass the Immortal Sword, but I can assure you that it is definitely no worse than the Immortal Sword; Perhaps the current audience may not understand this work very well. ”

“But a year or two later, this work is definitely a classic.”

“There is even a high probability that this new theme TV series will explode when it is broadcast”

“Just like the original “Sword of Immortal 1”, because there has never been a TV series with such a theme in the TV drama market, “Sword of Immortal 1″ exploded when it was broadcast”

“My “Will Night” and “Immortal Sword 1″ are both new themes in the market, and the production of my work is more sophisticated, which can be seen from my single book of 2 million.”

Jiang Feng seriously explained this problem to Editor Ma, which also made Editor Ma very moved.

Indeed, “Immortal Sword 1” ate a new theme. The market has never had such a theme, coupled with the expectation of game fans, so this work has become a hit.

But now Jiang Feng’s work is also a new theme, a fantasy style of a derivative theme of Xian Xia.

Fantasy-style TV series, which has never been seen in China, this new theme does have potential.

What Editor Ma thought of was that now Jiang Feng is so popular, this work is the first TV series he wrote and acted in, and this gimmick alone is enough to attract the audience.

Last year’s “Painted Skin” was a box office hit, and Jiang Feng also made a lot of money.

This “Will Night” may also be a blockbuster work in the TV industry.

Thinking of this, Chief Editor Ma asked: “Then how much do you plan to sell?” ”

“In this way, I will give Editor Ma two choices, considering that you also have your worries, so I give two plans.”

“The first one, 4 million episodes, 83 episodes sold to you Yuku, the total price is 332 million.”

“This price must be very high, but Editor Ma you also know, we all want to make money when we invest, after all, I invested so much, and I worked hard for a year, this price is not exaggerated, just because the production cost is too high.”

The price that Jiang Feng said, Editor Ma can explain and understand.

“The second plan is to consider that the price is too high, I will sell it in two seasons; The first season sold you Yuku for 3 million episodes; But what about the second season, wait until the first season is finished before negotiating the price. ”

“What about this second plan, there are good and bad; The good thing is that if the first season is broadcast and the effect is not satisfactory, Ma Editor You can consider not buying the episodes of the second season; Or if you want to buy, you can also drive down the price. ”

This point that Jiang Feng considered, Editor Ma naturally also took into account.

“But the bad thing is that you can’t say bad, let’s say it’s a risk.”

“The risk is that after you broadcast the first season, and this work becomes popular, your competitors, other platforms, if they know that there is a second season, they will definitely come to me to buy the rights.”

“At this time, I must be the one who chooses the highest price, so in this way, you Yuku is likely to make a wedding dress for other platforms.”

The risk that Jiang Feng said was also very surprising to Editor Ma.

Unexpectedly, this young teenager has actually considered this change in the market.

“Hmm~”

This is indeed a very entangled matter, and Editor Ma also needs to think about it.

If the whole drama is purchased together, it is more than 330 million, which is a price that they have never bought for a TV series that Yuku has never bought.

But if you buy a single season, the price is indeed 1 million episodes cheaper.

But if the broadcast is really popular at that time, the opponent platform will definitely take a fancy to this big cake and will definitely bid with them Youku, and Jiang Feng just said that he will definitely choose the one with a higher price to sell.

At that time, if multiple platforms participate in the bidding, no one knows how much it will soar?

At that time, if the bidding goes up to five or six million, then they will definitely lose a lot.

But the price of five or six million episodes is worth it for other platforms.

Because they have the foundation for the first season’s popularity, it is worth spending more money on the second season.

Because they didn’t buy the first season, they spent a part of the money less, but in the end, they let them take advantage of the big bargain, which made them Yuku very angry.

Thinking about it, Editor Ma still can’t pay attention.

“Isn’t 4 million too high?”

Editor-in-Chief Ma: This is trying to drive down the price

“Editor Ma, isn’t this a vegetable market to buy vegetables, and you also bring bargaining?”

“330 million, after deducting the cost of 160 million, and about 66 million in taxes, the rest is 110 million.”

“I invested 160 million yuan, starting two years ago to write the script, prepare, form the crew, and then shoot for a year.”

“The investment is so high, it took two or three years, and in the end, if I don’t even earn 100 million, then I’m not working in vain?”

“What’s more, Editor Ma doesn’t hide from you, I don’t even get paid for this TV series.”

Jiang Feng is not selling miserable, but really talking about cooperation with Editor Ma, and he will not be reduced to selling miserable TV series to the point of selling his own TV series.
