Chapter 276: Even in my wildest dreams!

With Fan Wumian’s super high popularity.

Many times, even he himself felt that it was a pity that he did not have the opportunity to sell goods through live streaming.

They should also create some trendy brands, restaurant chain brands and the like to find ways to monetize their fame, but they are too lazy to do so. After all, physical business is not easy to do and involves too many hassles.

With his help in advertising and the high quality of "Wulin Waijiao", it was only natural that the show became a hit.

Since the third episode, the ratings broke 3.2 and have never dropped.

The ratings for the fifth episode remained at around 4.7.

After the first six episodes were aired, Phoenix TV came to purchase the second-round broadcast rights. The price per episode did not drop but increased instead, and the offer price rose to 9 yuan per episode, and was finally sold for 8 yuan.

This is the end.

The media finally reacted.

One by one, they started to act as wise men after the event, praising Fan Wumian for how sharp his vision was, how unlucky the original investors were, and so on.

By the way, he also mentioned the crew of "Home with Kids", and lamented that the ratings of the first season were so low and it was a bit buried. In fact, after watching it, you will find that it is quite interesting and suitable for parents and children to watch and learn together.

up to now.

Through the sale of first-run and second-run broadcast rights, the "Wulin Waijia" TV series project has brought in sales of approximately RMB 2300 million.

Besides.

There is also an audio-visual company that offered 650 million RMB in hopes of obtaining the rights to distribute the DVDs.

Not to mention the cost of the first 80 episodes, even the cost of producing the last 80 episodes has almost been recovered. Many local stations that are waiting for price reductions have already started to make reservations in advance.

Since last year, the mainland TV drama market has switched to the "4+X" broadcast model.

The specific content is a TV series, which will be broadcast simultaneously on no more than four satellite TV stations and several terrestrial channels, with the cost shared through joint purchasing.

In addition, the artificial limit on the purchase amount has resulted in a limited total budget for filming TV series, and it is difficult to recover costs if too much is invested.

For example, the "Return of the Condor Heroes" shot by Yang Mi and Liu Yifei last year was not broadcast after the editing was completed, partly because the total investment amount was said to have reached 3000 million yuan, of which 270 million yuan was spent on building the "Valley of Unrequited Love" scene.

Investors are worried about losses and are still waiting for a suitable price and opportunity. They have already declined CCTV's package price of 50 per episode.

If the 42 episodes of The Return of the Condor Heroes were sold as a package at 50 yuan per episode, it would be difficult to recover the cost even if the audio-visual distribution rights were successfully sold. The only way was to try their luck by contacting satellite TV and local stations, with the quotes ranging from 6 to 8 yuan.

There are so many good TV series this year. In the first two months, "Bright Sword" almost took the lead. It hasn't left yet, and "Wulin Waijia" is here again.

It is estimated that Yang Mi will have to wait a little longer before the role of "Guo Xiang" that she has been dreaming of for a long time will appear on TV.
While continuing to film, Fan Wumian happened to talk about this matter with Yang Mi and others.

Female director Lin Fenyu asked:
"Ms. Yang, when you were acting in The Return of the Condor Heroes, how much were you paid per episode?"

Yang Mi said awkwardly:
"The salary is set at 1000 yuan, but I can't get that much. The lead actress Liu Yifei's salary is only 8000 yuan per episode. But she didn't sign a contract with the company, so she doesn't need to give the company a cut of the money she gets."

Director Lin Fenyu said with emotion:

"The cost of actors in the mainland is quite cheap. Did the production cost of the new "The Return of the Condor Heroes" really reach 3000 million RMB?"

Fan Wumian drank the warm coffee, which felt like drinking Chinese medicine, and continued:

"Maybe they took the publicity costs into account, and then rounded it off, so the media reported it as 3000 million RMB."

"I don't think they would be stupid enough to invest so much money. There are only a few satellite TV stations that can offer tens of thousands of yuan per episode."

"For example, the southwestern plateau can only give away TV series for free, the South China Sea islands only give a few hundred to a thousand yuan per episode, and the northern prairie only gives a few thousand yuan. I've heard from others that the ceiling for the income of a TV series is about 5000 million yuan, and taxes, publicity costs and other expenses have to be deducted."

TV stations are monopolized and they need to consider ensuring their own profitability, so film and television production companies are relatively passive.

Yang Mi didn't quite understand this and asked in surprise, "Is the price so different?"

"Of course, many TV stations have no viewers, and they can't make money from advertising fees. They can't offer prices for purchasing TV series. Anyway, there are hundreds of TV series every year, and there are always people willing to sell them to these local stations, whether they want to sell them or not."

The crew is currently in the Summer Palace, using the scenic spot "Travel in a Painting" as a filming location.

Sitting on the railing, Fan Wumian continued:

"However, the copyrights of popular TV series can bring in continuous income for many years. For example, "Kangxi's Secret Visits", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" and "My Fair Princess" are rebroadcast several times a year, so there is a chance that the income will be long-lasting."

"We don't need to worry about this drama. We have a chance to sell it to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other places. Hong Kong's No. 120 TV station only offered HK$ million for "Wulin Waijia". I will definitely not sell this drama, which I star in, at a lower price."

"It's not easy to make a living in the TV drama industry anyway. It's more profitable to make movies. Honey, you have to work hard. I'll take you to the movie industry if there's a chance."

Yang Mi didn't know why Fan Wumian gave her such a nickname. She just smiled and said:
"Thank you, boss. I will work hard." Ran Ruoyu, the daughter of the major shareholder of Hong Kong's No. 1 Satellite TV Station, once served as a receptionist at a singing competition and had contact with Fan Wumian.

After graduating from high school, Ran Ruoyu entered the University of Hong Kong and would occasionally send messages to Fan Wumian.

I once heard Miss Zuo mention this girl, saying that her family had originally arranged for her to study in the United States, but Ran Ruoyu did not agree.

I guess he was worried that being too far away from home would alienate his relationship with his parents and he would miss the opportunity to get a larger share of the family property.

If you enter the University of Hong Kong, you will have the opportunity to work at your own TV station under the guise of internship and show your face in front of your family.

Ran Ruoyu's family is quite rich, with total assets of HK$100 to 200 million, but they cannot be considered a "wealthy family".

Fan Wumian could sense her desire to advance through social classes even through the phone screen, and he often used "going to take a shower" or "going to eat" as excuses to leave this rich girl who was born with the temperament of a widow aside.

Men are always attracted to beautiful women, and so are girls.

Different from the poor boy last year, Fan Wumian has many admirers both openly and covertly after he turned his life around. If he lets himself go, he will surely have no shortage of happiness.

This is probably one of the reasons why he was clearly dating several people but sometimes felt that he was "clean and self-disciplined". He really resisted the temptation and gave up a large forest.

Yang Mi changed the topic again and turned it to Liu Yifei, and said to Fan Wumian as a funny thing:

"Boss, have you seen the news? Liu Yifei went to Tokyo. It seems that she wants to release a record and develop overseas as an idol artist."

"."

As far as I can remember, Liu Yifei had an "idol period".

Fan Wumian smiled and shook his head and said:
"I'm curious about her singing skills, but I have no idea. Her salary is low, and she has filmed a few movies and accepted some endorsements. It's not certain that her total income is 500 million RMB. It's normal for her to transform and focus on the overseas market."

"But didn't anyone tell her that artists living on a small scale earn very little?"

"Her resources are not worthy of her super high popularity. If she comes under my management, I can take her to Hollywood for development. After all, she has lived in the United States for a few years. For an actress who is good at English and beautiful, there is less competition."

Hear him mention English.

Yang Mi fell silent instantly. Test English and spoken English are two different levels, and she had no confidence that she could make a name for herself in Hollywood.

Suddenly I envied Zhuang Muxi very much, because "A Quiet Place" did not require any talking and had very few lines.

Director Lin Fenyu also said:
"In Tokyo, actors' income is really low, even lower than in Hong Kong. The greed of TV stations is a bit ugly. I don't know Liu Yifei very well, but giving up the mainland market and starting over is obviously asking for trouble."

Fan Wumian joked:
"Maybe Sony paid too much. If she goes to Xiao Ri Zi to gild herself, isn't that just adding more dirt to herself? I don't know what she was thinking. Going to Tokyo to develop as an idol will just free up market share in the mainland. Do you want to take over, Big Mi Mi?"

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then nodded decisively and said, "I dream about it!"

Fan Wumian feinted and teased her:
"I feel that Liu Shishi is also suitable for the route of a celestial fairy attacker, but unfortunately your aura is a little lacking. The most suitable candidate to take Liu Yifei's job is actually Zhuang Muxi, who already has a sufficient fan base."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched, and she said angrily: "You think more of Miss Zhuang, so why do you ask me if I want it?"

"Yes, I'm just asking if you want to. Now you have no representative works and lack fans. Don't think about running before you learn to walk. Wait for you to hone your skills for a few years. The mainland market is huge and can accommodate many actresses."

Fan Wumian spoke in a calm tone.

After the break, they continued filming. Zhuang Muxi was not feeling well today and had already drunk a bowl of brown sugar water.

She looked depressed, and it happened to be a scene where she was having a conflict with Fan Wumian, so it looked very realistic without any acting.

Yang Mi stood not far away, focusing all her attention on Zhuang Muxi, trying to figure out where exactly she differed from her.

I realized belatedly that my acting was too much. Although Zhuang Muxi was calm and composed, she was still very attractive and exuded confidence from the inside out.

Aura is not something that can be cultivated casually.

Yang Mi also felt that if she were to act with Fan Wumian, it would be difficult to achieve the effect in front of her, but Zhuang Muxi and he looked particularly well matched when standing together.

Naturally.

Suddenly I thought of Feng Ying'er, who was also signed by Fan Wumian.

As for that sexy beauty with long legs, thin waist and stunning looks, Yang Mi just felt that if she took a photo with her, she should stay a little further away from her so as not to become a background board.

Then think of Zuo Ziyan.
Da Mimi sighed inexplicably.

I just feel that the competition within the company is really great, and it is difficult to find a position that suits me in a short period of time.

Although playing the second or third female supporting roles is also good, who is willing to be a complete supporting role?
