Entertainment: Top Agents

"If Mr. Huang thinks that the two-year exclusive copyright fee of 3.5 million episodes is too expensive"

"Then you can choose the latter. I don’t need copyright fees. As long as it can be broadcast on your platform, I will take 90% of the membership profits and advertising revenue brought by this drama, and you will take 10% of the platform fees."

"How about it?"Liang Lin feels that these two options are already very obvious.

In fact, there are specifications for the broadcast copyright of TV series on Internet platforms.

Generally speaking, there is a time limit for selling a TV series to a TV station or an Internet video platform. According to regulations, this depends on how many years you have purchased it when you are negotiating.

TV drama copyrights purchased by TV stations are usually one-time.

For example, if"I Have a Date with a Zombie" is discussing cooperation with Mango Channel, it is 100 The copyright fee for an episode can only be broadcast once within a year. If it is not broadcast for more than a year, the copyright expires. Even if you have not broadcast it yet, you cannot continue to broadcast it unless the contract is renewed.

Or, if you broadcast it once within a year and want to broadcast it a second time, you have to obtain the copyright for one more broadcast. Otherwise, it is an infringement and you need to compensate. For websites, there are different things.

Because TV series By hanging it on the website, users of the"353" website can see it at all times.

Unlike TV stations, which can only be seen when it is broadcast at a specified time.

Therefore, Internet platforms can buy TV series. Copyrights will be more expensive than those purchased by TV stations.

And usually Internet platforms purchase the broadcasting rights of TV series and movies on an annual basis.

One, two, three, even five or ten years are acceptable.

If you purchase the Internet broadcast rights of this drama for one year, then your platform will have the resources of this drama for one year, and platform users can watch it at any time.

But after one year, the resources of this drama will have to be removed from your platform. , otherwise it is infringement.

Or it will be like this for two years, five years, or ten years.

The copyright fee for one year is definitely less than the copyright fee for ten years.

Now Liang Lin’s quotation for Penguin Video is to give Penguin Video two The exclusive broadcast rights for two years.

The price for the exclusive broadcast rights for these two years is 3.5 million episodes.

3.5 million episodes, after deducting the cost of the show, it is more than 2.8 million episodes.

The rest, the show earns There are only more than 600,000 episodes

"3.5 million per episode is too high. Today’s Internet platforms and TV series prices are hundreds of thousands per episode."

Huang Jie was a little hard to decide on this. The price was really too high.

But Liang Lin said to Huang Jie:"Mr. Huang, 3.5 million per episode, I really can't make any money anymore.""

"100 million cost, I just told you"

"3.5 million per episode, the total price of 35 episodes is 122.5 million"

"And 122.5 million is the total revenue price of this drama"

"You also know that all income from TV series is subject to 20% income tax."

"20% of 122.5 million is 24.5 million"

"After deducting the cost of 100 million yuan from the income of 122.5 million yuan, the remaining 225 billion yuan is not enough for me to pay taxes. I have to spend 2 million yuan on it, Mr. Huang."

After Liang Lin calculated the account, Huang Jie was even more stunned.

Yes, if you calculate it like this, Liang Lin's drama is still at a loss?

No, it's just a loss in the previous two years.

Because this drama It is impossible for the drama to only sell the broadcast rights for two years. After two years, the major platforms will see how good the drama is and will definitely spend money to continue to have the broadcast rights of the drama.

By then, it will be 5 or 10 years How much the copyright fee is depends on the situation.

But for now, if Liang Lin negotiates at this price, he will definitely lose money in the next two years.

"Huang Jie, do you know his courage now?"

Sun Zhong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke now.

"What do you think?"Huang Jie wants to see what Sun Zhong thinks.

"If it were me, I would just get the exclusive broadcast rights for 10 years."Sun Zhong said very politely.

"ten years?"Huang Jie was really excited when she heard about this copyright time.

Of course, if she wants ten years of copyright time, the copyright fee will definitely be higher.

"Think about it, if you buy the copyright for ten years, the copyright fee will definitely be high."

"But he is just starting out now. You and I don’t even know how many good film and television drama scripts he has in his hands."

"But he now needs funds and costs to operate, otherwise he will not have enough funds to invest in these projects"

"And once he has the funds to invest in these projects, and these film and television dramas are produced, if he cooperates with our goose factory for a long time, how much income will it bring to us, I won’t say it yet."

"At the very least, in terms of film and television drama resources, we at Penguin Video can have a lot more resources."

Sun Zhong's long-term vision made Liang Lin admire in his heart.

He is worthy of becoming the executive director of Penguin Film and Television

"Even if he no longer has a script in hand, think about his artists?"

"Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying, Dilraba Dilraba"

"Even if Zhao Liying and Dilraba Dilraba are not popular yet, with his ability to make Liu Yifei and Yang Mi popular, will these two people not be popular in the future?"

"After they become popular, they will be works starring three top female stars. We at Penguin Video will be able to get the broadcast rights first. This is also a good thing for us, right?"

Of course Huang Jie has thought of what Sun Zhong said.

But she also has her own worries:"The problem is that Huayi will not let him bring in new people so easily."

"Therefore, it is even more important for us to take a stand at this time."

"As long as I express my position, I can help Liang Lin withstand the pressure from Huayi."

"If the film and television dramas he invests in have a platform to display, then he can make his artists famous"

"As long as he can make his artists popular, movies, TV series, and songs will all be cooperating with our Goose Factory. Do you think our Goose Factory can still do well in expanding its business in the entertainment industry?"

"And if you think about it, Huayi is such a big company in the entertainment industry." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"They made things difficult for Liang Lin like this. What did they expose?"

"The first thing that is exposed is the pattern; a huge company is going to embarrass a young person who has just started a business."

"The second thing exposed is their recognition of Liang Lin; if they didn't recognize Liang Lin's abilities, how could they hinder his development in every possible way?"

"Even Huayi recognized Liang Lin, which further proves that we deserve to study him."

Sun Zhong's words made Huang Jie no longer have any worries.

As Sun Zhong said, Liang Lin was targeted like this by Huayi, which already explained too many problems.

"The single episode cost is more than 2.8 million, right?"

"I want 10 years of copyright fees. You make an offer and let me see your sincerity0..."Huang Jie asked Liang Lin

"Ten-year exclusive broadcast rights for 10 million episodes."Liang Lin happily gave the price.

"make a deal!"Huang Jie is not polite anymore. In this case, let's bet him a big one.

After printing out the contract, Liang Lin read the contents and signed directly.

"When can it be scheduled for broadcast?"When signing the contract, Huang Jie asked

"If it is aired, we can only air two episodes a week now because our drama is being filmed and aired at the same time."

"Moreover, with two episodes a week, 35 episodes can be broadcast for more than three months."

"And if it can be broadcast for more than three months, it can at least provide you with a large number of users of Penguin Video for three months of membership fees."Liang Lin said this, which made Huang Jie smile and shake her head.

"You are really smart. Liang

Lin himself said helplessly:"There is no way. In the past six months since I came out, I urgently need works to prove myself.""

"So we can only use this mode."

"Let’s watch the broadcast of this film first, and then determine the terms of cooperation for"A Date with a Zombie 2" later."Liang Lin also revealed at this time that there is a second part of this drama.

Huang Jie nodded and said:"Then as you said, one episode will be broadcast on Friday and Saturday."

That's what he suggested just now. It's best to broadcast it on Friday and Saturday.

Why? Because on Sunday, many middle school students have to have self-study on Sunday night, so they can't catch up on the drama; but on Friday, they can, because every week There was a holiday for the night, so there was no need to go to school. This was also the time Liang Lin had considered.

After negotiating the matter, Liang Lin also received 350 million for this drama.

After deducting the cost of about 100 million from the 350 million, there was still some leftover 250 million; this 250 million will also have to pay a tax of 50 million, and in the end there will be exactly 200 million left to earn.

But it doesn’t matter, this is already a very good start.

Now this movie only earns 200 million, but What about the second part? It wasn't just about this at that time.

Originally, he had already planned to lose money in the first 4.2 broadcasts of this drama.

But he didn't expect that Huang Jie was finally enlightened by Sun Zhong and agreed with this. A little.

But it’s okay, at least now that I can get the money, I can make subsequent works with more confidence.

"Once the negotiation is over, it’s time to start marketing and promoting the work."Liang Lin had his own idea.

And since he wanted to promote it, of course he had to do a more appropriate promotion.

Liang Lin released a song that Liu Yifei had recorded these days.

This song was chosen by Liang Lin , the song used as the theme song for"I Have a Date with a Zombie". The two theme songs of this drama are both Cantonese songs, and it is true that Liang Lin likes them very much.

But now it is the mainland version after all, so don't use it A Cantonese song was used as the theme song.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

So for this drama, Liang Lin specially chose a suitable song for Liu Yifei to sing for"I Am a Zombie Has a Date", and it happened that she was also going to publish it. Album.

This song is used as the theme song of the TV series, and it can also be included in her album.

However, Liu Yifei’s new album only has one song recorded for now, and this song was recorded in advance specifically for the TV series. , just to be used as the opening theme of the TV series.
