Entertainment: top brokers

“If Mr. Huang, you think that the two-year exclusive royalty 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 profit and advertising revenue brought by the subsequent show, and you will take 10% of the platform fee.”

“How?” Liang Lin felt that these two options were already very obvious.

In fact, the Internet platform of the TV series broadcasts the copyright, which has specifications.

Generally speaking, a drama sold to a TV station or Internet video platform has a time limit, this depends on the time you are talking, whether you are buying for a few years.

TV series rights purchased by TV stations are usually one-off.

For example, “I Have a Date with Zombies” and Mango TV to talk about cooperation, the copyright fee of 1 million episodes can only be broadcast once in a year, if it is not broadcast for more than a year, then the copyright expires, even if you have not played it, you cannot continue to play it unless the contract is renewed.

Or, if you broadcast it once in a year, and you want to broadcast it a second time, you have to play the copyright again, otherwise it is infringement and needs to be compensated

Like the website, there are also differences.

Because the TV series is hung on the website, it can be seen by users of the “353” website every moment.

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

Therefore, the copyright of TV series bought by Internet platforms will be more expensive than that bought by TV stations.

And usually Internet platforms buy the broadcast rights of TV series and movies, and they start on a year-by-year basis.

One year, two years, three years, or even five years, ten years.

Buy the Internet broadcast copyright of this drama for one year, then you have the resources of this drama within one year of this platform, and platform users can watch it at any time.

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

Or two, five, ten years.

One year’s copyright fee is certainly less than ten years’ copyright fee.

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

The exclusive broadcast rights for these two years are priced at 3.5 million per episode.

3.5 million episodes, deducting the cost of this drama is more than 2.8 million episodes.

For the rest, this drama only earned more than 600,000 episodes.

“3.5 million episodes is too high, and the price of TV series on the Internet platform now is hundreds of thousands of episodes.”

Huang Jie is a little difficult to decide this, the price is really too high.

But Liang Lin said to Huang Jie: “Mr. Huang, 3.5 million episodes, I really don’t make money.” ”

“100 million cost, I told you just now.”

“3.5 million episodes, the total price of 35 episodes is 122.5 million.”

“And 122.5 million is the total revenue price of this show.”

“As you know, all income from TV dramas is subject to 20% income tax.”

“20% of 122.5 million is 24.5 million.”

“122.5 million income, deducting the cost of 100 million, the remaining 225 billion is not enough for me to pay taxes, I still have to post 2 million into it, Mr. Huang.”

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

Yes, if you calculate it this way, Liang Lin’s drama is still a loss?

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

Because this drama cannot only sell the broadcast copyright for two years, after two years, the major platforms will definitely spend money to continue to have enough broadcast rights for this drama when they see the good of this drama.

At that time, what is the copyright fee for 5 or 10 years, this depends on the situation.

But for now, Liang Lin talks at this price, and he will definitely lose money in the past two years.

“Huang Jie, do you know his courage now?”

Sun Zhong, who had never spoken, finally spoke at this time.

“What do you think?” Huang Jie wanted to see what Sun Zhong thought.

“If it were me, I would directly take the exclusive broadcast rights for 10 years.” Sun Zhong said unceremoniously.

“Ten years?” Hearing this copyright time, Huang Jie was really a little moved.

Of course, if you want ten years of copyright, this royalty will definitely be higher.

“If you think about it, if you buy ten years of copyright, the copyright fee must be high.”

“But he is just starting now, and how many good film and television scripts he has in his hands, you and I don’t know.”

“But he needs the capital and cost to operate now, otherwise he doesn’t have enough money to invest in these projects.”

“And once he has the funds to invest in these projects, these film and television dramas are produced, and if we cooperate with our goose factory for a long time, how much income will be brought to us, I will not say.”

“At the very least, in terms of film and television resources, our penguin videos can be much richer.”

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

It is worthy of becoming the executive director of Penguin Film and Television.

“Even if he doesn’t have a script in his hand, but do you think about his artists?”

“Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying, Di Li Gerba.”

“Even if Zhao Liying and Di Li Gerba are not popular now, with his ability to win Liu Yifei and Yang Mi; Will these two not be popular in the future? ”

“In the future, they will be popular, that is, the works starring three top female stars, and we Penguin videos can get the broadcast rights first, which is also a good thing for us, right?”

What Sun Zhong said, Huang Jie certainly thought of it.

But she also has her own worries: “The problem is that Huayi’s side will not be so easy for him to bring new people.” ”

“So, ah, this is when we need to express our position.”

“As long as I express my position, I can help Liang Lin bear the pressure on Huayi’s side.”

“The film and television dramas he invested, if there is a platform to show, then he can make his artists popular.”

“As long as he can win the artists under him, movies, TV series, and songs are all cooperating with our goose factory, do you think our goose factory’s business expansion in the entertainment industry can still do badly?”

“And if you think about it, Huayi is such a big company in the entertainment industry.” (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“What did they expose when they embarrassed Liang Lin like this?”

“The first thing that is exposed is the pattern; A huge company to embarrass a young man who has just started a business. ”

“The second thing that exposed was their recognition of Liang Lin; If it wasn’t for recognizing Liang Lin’s ability, how could he hinder his development in every possible way? ”

“Even Huayi recognized Liang Lin, which further shows that we are worthy of stud on him.”

Sun Zhong’s words made Huang Jie have no worries.

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

“More than 2.8 million single books, right?”

“I want 10 years of royalties, you offer, let me see your sincerity0…” Huang Jie asked Liang Lin.

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

“Deal!” Huang Jie is also not polite, since this is the case, then bet on him a big hand

After printing out the contract, Liang Lin read the content on it and signed it directly.

“When can it be scheduled to air?” While signing the contract, Huang Jie asked.

“If it is broadcast, it can only be broadcast two episodes a week now, because our show is broadcast while filming.”

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

“And if you can broadcast it for more than three months, it can at least provide you Penguin Video with a large number of users for 3 months of membership fees.” Liang Lin said this, which made Huang Jie smile and shake her head.

“You brain, really.”

Liang Lin himself also said helplessly: “No way, in the past half a year, I urgently need works to prove myself.” ”

“So it’s just that way.”

“Let’s watch the broadcast of this one first, and then confirm the terms of cooperation of “I Have a Date with Zombies 2″ later.” Liang Lin also revealed at this time that this drama has a second part.

Huang Jie nodded and said, “Then according to what you said, broadcast one episode on Friday and one episode on Saturday.” ”

Just now he proposed, Friday and Saturday broadcast best.

Because of what? Because on Sunday, many middle school students have to study on Sunday and can’t follow the drama; But on Fridays, because Friday is a holiday and there is no need for classes.

This is also the time for Liang Lin to think about it.

After negotiating this matter, Liang Lin also got 350 million with this drama.

350 million deducting the cost of about 100 million, there is 250 million left;

The 250 million also had to pay 50 million in taxes, and in the end, there were exactly 200 million left to earn.

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

Now this one is only making 200 million, but what about the second part? That’s not all.

Originally, he was ready, and the first 4.2 broadcasts of this drama were going to lose money.

But unexpectedly, Huang Jie was finally enlightened by Sun Zhong, and the same point.

But fortunately, at least now I can get this money, and I can make the later works more confidently.

“After talking about it, then you need to start marketing and promoting this work.” Liang Lin had his own ideas.

And since it is to be promoted, then of course, it is necessary to come to a wave of more suitable propaganda.

Liang Lin sent out a song that Liu Yifei recorded these days.

This song was selected by Liang Lin and gave “I Have a Date with Zombies” as the theme song.

The two theme songs of this drama are Cantonese songs, and Liang Lin likes it very much.

But now that it’s the mainland version after all, don’t use Cantonese songs as the theme song.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain at that time.

So for this drama, Liang Lin specially selected a suitable song for “I Am a Zombie Have a Date” to sing for Liu Yifei, and it just so happened that she was about to release an album.

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

But Liu Yifei’s new album is now only a song recorded, or this song was recorded in advance specifically for the TV series, just to use it as the opening song of the TV series.
