NOVEL FROG Chapter 153
Chapter 153: Sky-high copyright fees!!
“Of course, Editor Ma, if you think it’s expensive, then I’ll sell it to you for 500,000 an episode.”
“But it can only be played once, that is, after the serial update has been played once, then you can no longer play it, and this TV series will not be in your website resource library.”
“After it is finished broadcasting on your platform, I will sell it to other platforms at that time.”
“If you calculate it this way, the price is low enough, right? At the same time, you can also afford it”
“But you have to think carefully. When”Sword and Sword 1″ was placed in your resource library, how many people have been attracted to your website to watch it repeatedly in the past few years?”
Jiang Feng didn’t force himself, and came up with another plan for Editor Ma.
Editor Ma couldn’t laugh or cry:”In this case, wouldn’t it be like broadcasting on a TV station, broadcasting it once, and if you want to broadcast it again after the broadcast?, then you can only purchase the copyright again”
“Isn’t that right? My cost is 2 million per episode. Now I will give you the one-time broadcast rights. I only need 500,000 per episode. At this price, I will sell it to you Yuku and put the copyright in your resource library for a long time. Do you think this is possible?”
“Editor Ma, I am young, but I am not stupid.
Editor Ma was very embarrassed by what Jiang Feng said. Zeng
Jia, who was listening on the side, couldn’t help but chuckle in her heart.
As for Editor Ma, after thinking about it, he still said:”I choose the second one.” Come up with a plan. The price is too high. I don’t dare to decide now.”
“Okay, you can also ask for the second aspect. You can first buy the 20 episodes of the first season for 3 million episodes, which is 60 million, and you can accept this price.”
Jiang Feng doesn’t need to worry, he is very happy.
“If I sell 40 episodes to you, that would be 120 million. I guess Editor Ma, you wouldn’t dare to ask for it.”
Editor Ma nodded helplessly. Taking half of the TV series for more than 100 million is not something he can decide as an editor. Jiang Feng was secretly happy in his heart. This drama has been broadcast for 20 episodes. It will definitely be popular by then..
Once it becomes popular, if the bidding for the copyright fee of the TV series is raised to five or six million, he will earn even more.
Of course, the premise is that your TV series can really become popular! Other producers and TV series are not 100% Although Jiang Feng is confident that his work will be popular, Jiang Feng is 10,000% confident that”Jiang Ye” will be popular.
However, this must be handled carefully and the situation must be considered to make good choices.
“Oh, by the way, the online copyright of your movie”Painted Skin” has not been cooperated with other websites yet.”
After talking about the TV series, Editor Ma asked Jiang Feng to talk about it.
“not yet!
Jiang Feng shook his head and said,”I have never had a platform to ask questions.””
“how could be? You released it during the National Day. It was so good at the box office that it was not taken off the shelves until the end of December. It was released for nearly three months.”
“Logically speaking, before the movie is released, there should be a platform asking you for the online copyright, ah Dong?”
This is what Editor Ma can’t figure out.
“Maybe the major platforms now don’t know the copyright price they want to give to new media platforms for movies.”
“After all, the domestic box office of my movie exceeds 350 million, so the price is considered very high.”
Although this movie is not the current box office champion of domestic films, compared with the US$200 million box office of”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, the box office of 350 million US dollars is indeed inferior.
But what is one thing?”Painted Skin” The box office is only the domestic box office
《The domestic box office of”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” did not exceed 100 million.
In other words, the copyright price of”Painted Skin”, which currently has a box office of 350 million, is not easy to be paid by new media platforms, so they have not yet approached Jiaxing Media to purchase the copyright.
What Jiang Feng remembers is that after 2015, the copyright price of domestic new film media platforms had a clear price tag.
The higher the box office, the higher the Internet copyright price for movies.
The box office has exceeded 100 million, and the movie also has the participation of dog actors. The Internet copyright price is more than 10 million.
What is a celebrity actor? Just like the movies of Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Liu Dehua, Cheng Long and other big names, if the movie is released in the cinema and the box office exceeds 100 million, the Internet platform will have to spend more than 10 million to buy it. Film rights.
For a movie with a box office of more than 100 million, the copyright fee for purchasing this movie through the Internet will cost between 50 million and 60 million.
These are the Internet copyright prices for movies in the next six or seven years; for a movie like”Painted Skin”, which is the domestic box office champion among domestic films, it is actually no exaggeration to ask for 10 million;
“Let’s do this. We, Yuku, will buy it and price it according to the new media market. Now we can give you 10 million.”
Editor Ma was also very happy and gave this price.
“OK.”
In this case, Jiang Feng has no objection to the price.
“As for signing the contract, just leave it to our Mr. Zeng to take charge.”
“Jiang Feng told Editor Ma”
“I know! I came to Hengdian specifically to see you this time because I want to discuss cooperation in a TV series.”
“Let’s first take a look at the broadcast of the first season. If the ratings are good by then, we will discuss future cooperation.”
Editor Ma said.
Jiang Feng nodded and agreed, and we will talk later. After seeing off Editor Ma, Director Yang Yang came over and said to him:”Why not choose a TV station to broadcast it?”
“If it is broadcast on a TV station, the audience is indeed larger.”
“But there is one thing, the review cycle is relatively long.”
After Jiang Feng explained the reason, he added:”I am now eager to see whether the TV series I wrote with this theme can be recognized by the market.”
“As long as I can get market recognition, then I can better produce subsequent works.”
“If this work is broadcast and is not recognized by the market and has a poor reputation, then our next work will have to avoid the minefield.”
Jiang Feng has thought a lot, and Director Yang Yang only now understands his intentions.
Otherwise, she really hopes that this drama can be broadcast on the TV station
“Because it is a new subject, and Li Ying and I are very popular this year, I also want to take advantage of the fact that our popularity has not subsided yet, and immediately broadcast the second work of her and I as male and female protagonists.”
“This can connect to the heat and provide more protection.”
“The most important thing is that if the TV station broadcasts it for the first time, it will first be reviewed for an unknown amount of time; in the end, it may be suppressed by the TV station not to broadcast it. If it is to be broadcast again after a year and a half, I will still have to wait. It’ll be a long time before I see my results on the fantasy genre”
“This will greatly affect the launch of my subsequent film and television projects.”
Director Yang Yang finally understood all the reasons Jiang Feng said. Now that Jiang Feng said this, Director Yang Yang felt that Jiang Feng had considered it very carefully.
After discussing this with the director, Jiang Feng Went over to eat.
We talked about that matter for so long that now it’s lunch time
“Have the rights to the TV series been negotiated?”
Zhao Liying held the lunch box, took two mouthfuls of rice, and asked Jiang Feng
“Well, we only talked about 20 episodes. Because the price is too high, Yuku doesn’t dare to buy them all.”
“Now it costs 3 million per episode, which is already 60 million. If the whole show is sold, I will sell 4 million episodes at least, otherwise there will be no money to be made.”
“While Jiang Feng was eating, he was also chatting with several partners around him.”
“Is 3 million per episode still low?”
Zhang Jiani was very surprised. This can’t be true.
“Then you have to consider that the cost is 2 million per episode.”
Jiang Feng reminded this sister with a smile.
“Oh, too.”
At this time, Zhang Jiani remembered that the cost was indeed very high.
This TV series can allow veteran actors such as Li Ming and Zheng Shaoqiu to star, and the remuneration is so low. They also agreed. In fact, to a large extent They just knew the production cost of this TV series.
When they learned that the production cost was 2 million per episode, they became very interested in this show.
So they all came here with the intention of such a big production.
If it weren’t for this For a large-scale production, with Jiang Feng’s current ability, it is really difficult to invite these big guys. But the good thing is that they are also interested in this kind of subject matter. Knowing that it is a new subject matter, they also want to try it; At the same time, for stars like them, filming is better than not filming at all.
The pressure of life in Xiangjiang is even greater than that of the current capital and Shanghai.
In Xiangjiang, you have no income for a month, which is very anxious.
Unless it is Like Cheng Long and Liu Dehua, they are not afraid of people who have no roles to shoot.
But for people like Li Ming, the current salary and popularity are not as good as Liu Dehua, who is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings. If there is a movie to shoot now, of course it is better to borrow it. This is also In order to open up the mainland market, many Hong Kong stars are now trying to co-produce works with the mainland. Otherwise
, if the film market in Hong Kong is so sluggish now, and it is still limited to Hong Kong, I am afraid that they will not even be able to live in housing.
“Oh, by the way, director, I have to go out with Liying to attend a show in two days.”
“Now that”Eternal Dragon Sword” is so popular, producer Zhang Jizhong asked us to promote the TV series.”
While eating, Jiang Feng did not forget to remind the director:”Please schedule the scenes for the day after tomorrow and try to shoot them for both of us today or tomorrow, otherwise it will affect the filming of the crew.”
“Don’t worry, I know this and have already made arrangements.”
The director who was eating said to Jiang Feng:”You two are going to shoot a night scene tonight and tomorrow night.”
“Moreover, the night scene will be filmed until around one or two o’clock tonight, and you will have the crew to start work at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning.”
What Director Yang Yang said surprised Jiang Feng:”There is no problem between the two of us! But director, can you do it if you have so little rest? After all, you are not as good as us young people, so you need to rest more and pay attention to your health.”
“Haha~”
Of course Director Yang Yang could tell that Jiang Feng didn’t mean to make fun of her, but really cared about her.
After all, at her age, she was not as good as she was when she was young. Of course she would be worried if she was still working so hard now.
