The Strongest Life Reborn
Chapter 1172: Profit and compensation
In the year from last year to this year, "Wind x Doctor x Nurse" received the highest ratings. For five consecutive years, the average number of viewers exceeded 80 million.
But the most popular TV series is Disney's "Happy Hotel".
In April, "Happy Hotel" finally finished with 66 million viewers and set a perfect rating, second only to "Wind x Doctor x Nurse", which made all the audience sigh.
"Wind x Doctor x Nurse" has a large number of viewers because of the audience it has cultivated for so many years. In the first season, it did not have such an exaggerated audience of 66 million, or even more than 40 million.
"Happy Hotel" so many people, completely rely on strength, step-by-step counterattack has become the people most like to watch and talk about the most TV series.
Although the ratings are not as good as "Wind x Doctor x Nurse", on the word of mouth, "Happy Hotel" has already finished "Wind x Doctor x Nurse".
"Wind x Doctor x Nurse" is actually a sitcom with American humor and a little slapstick, just like "Happy Hotel".
But "Happy Hotel" is mainly about warmth and warmth, and it is closer to life. The people inside are all people you and I can meet in life. Each character has its own prototype, which makes The audience's sense of substitution is very strong.
What's particularly remarkable is that as long as the "Happy Hotel" is a person who appears, it will definitely have its own drama, and it is definitely not a passerby who serves as a background board.
This shows the seriousness of the screenwriter and director, and their responsible attitude.
You can see whether a TV series or a movie is good or not, the audience can see it, and they will also use the feelings you convey to them, and after giving various feelings, they will give back to you.
That's why some TV series and movies cost so much money, so many big stars, and the final ratings or box office are so bad-no matter what the appearance is, how fragrant the seasoning, you give the audience After serving a pot of stinky meat, do you think they can eat it? Why would others want to eat?
The plot of "Happy Hotel" is good, and the audience likes it very much. The actors are even more so. They are not well-known, and they are not even handsome men and women, but they act very seriously and act like a person. Lively, with blood and flesh, let the audience see with laughter, emotion, and sadness ...
This can mobilize the audience's various emotions and allow the audience to penetrate into it. That is a good TV series, which is a good TV series worth watching every week!
With so many **** supporters, "Happy Hotel" is of course the biggest winner without a doubt.
Advertisement fees are constantly skyrocketing, making the profit of "Happy Hotel" in the United States as high as more than 40 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the total profit of all TV shows of many TV stations for one year!
The profit is so good, the theme is so good, the second season was set at the end of last year, and will continue to be produced this year.
And because of the large number of viewers, the original plan has many changes.
For example, the production cost was originally US $ 50,000 per episode, and then the estimated second season was 200,000 episodes, and various artificial salaries would have to increase a lot, which only followed the trend.
However, the 66 million high-mountain viewers made the production cost of 200,000 episodes seem a bit shabby, so after pondering Tang Shuxuan's opinions, he again consulted everyone and doubled it to 400,000. An episode of US dollars.
Calculated in this way, each actor will receive an average of 3000-5000 US dollars for each episode, and the salary and bonus of the production staff have also been greatly improved.
If this is the case, even an actor with few plays, the monthly remuneration will reach about 12,000 US dollars. In 1982, it was already pretty good.
The key is that this time the price increase, let them see the sincerity of Disney, know that Disney will not let them suffer, such a company, it is worth continuing their work.
Everyone is not a fool. They all know how much money Disney TV channels have made this time-the entertainment information in the United States is so developed that other newspaper news has already been disclosed.
Disney is more than just earning more than 40 million US dollars in the United States.
Because it is so popular in the United States, those TV stations that are also English-speaking countries immediately came to negotiate the purchase of broadcasts, and then countries such as South America, Japan, and South Korea, etc., also made requests for copyright purchases. .
These are pure profits except cost!
Together, there are reports that Disney will probably obtain a net profit of 40 million US dollars from overseas. In addition to the US domestic market, the Disney TV channel can at least obtain a profit of 80 million US dollars.
Is just a play!
One movie earned 80 million dollars!
Is almost equivalent to a blockbuster with more than 300 million US dollars at the box office!
In such a situation, why do you say that the actors do not mutter?
Their performance income in the first season is only about 800-1500 US dollars, which is very low compared to the income of this TV series.
Although after the production of the first season is completely finished, both the crew and the staff have received a big red envelope ranging from tens of thousands of dollars, but for the second season, many people have different ideas.
In the United States, everyone will not be ashamed to talk about their salary, because in their eyes, this is the embodiment of their labor, which is the recognition of their life value.
Of course, this is a big problem related to their food and drink.
So everyone has great expectations for the salary in the second quarter.
Yes, you have their 15-year contract, and you have to finish the "Happy Hotel" before it can be regarded as the end of the contract.
But if you only give a little money that does n’t have enough food and clothing to force them to act, then it ’s hard to say that if you do n’t contribute during the shooting process, if they deliberately make mistakes and delay the progress of the shooting, how do you do?
Cancel the contract?
They are still eager for you to cancel the contract, so that you can recover yourself.
Although you can say that this group of people who want to cancel the contract are stupid, then they have to wait until the plot is stable, and it will be broadcast for a few more seasons, and their position is stable. Only when they leave, will the company want them.
But under impulse, these people are irrational, and when they leave, they leave, so they don't care so much.
Conversely, if they leave, the impact on the plot is still a bit big.
If you have an accident, can you redesign a character, let the character quit, and add a new character?
of course can!
However, this is a matter of one or two actors. If you have to change seven or eight or a dozen each season, how do you make the audience happy and entertained?
There is a proverb in the West: Do n’t make changes for successful things.
The same is true when placed on TV dramas. If it can be changed, try not to change it as much as possible. Otherwise, no follow-up questions will be caused.
If the ratings of "Happy Hotel" drop because of this, it's really not worth it!
For Disney TV channels, and even for the entire Disney company, they are not short of money.
Since becoming a subsidiary of Kirin Group, the boss has never asked for their ability to make money, but let them do it step by step, no matter what the expenses.
It is precisely because Yin Jun is so atmospheric, and so valued them, so after several consecutive projects with money, Disney has recovered a lot of vitality.
Well, Lianyi Film Company is the same.
However, the Disney company lacks some treasures that can stand upright.
In other words, people will know when they go out. This is unique to Disney, and it is a gold medal show, TV series, movie, etc. made by Disney.
Frankly speaking, that is, the degree of company recognition.
Is the same as people.
For example, some actors, you look at him very familiar, but do not know any special impression.
Some actors are different.
Seeing Zhao Wei's first glance, you must blurt out "Little Swallow".
Seeing Chen Yulian's first glance, you must be blurting out your aunt.
Seeing Li Lianjie's first glance, most of them were still "Huang Feihong".
This is the degree of recognition they bring to the audience. The higher the degree of recognition, the more solid your image in people's minds is. The more filmmakers and film companies like to ask you to film, and spend a lot of money to ask you to film.
Later audiences, as soon as they see a movie produced by "Marvel Pictures", they buy tickets if they don't think about it. This is the prestige of Marvel.
Now that Disney is not as prestigious as it is in the future, after so many years of ups and downs, they are determined to regain their reputation and become the best comprehensive entertainment group in the United States.
Therefore, they have attached great importance to the already-expanded TV series "Happy Hotel" and are unwilling to go wrong.
This is why the director of the crew discussed with Tang Shuxuan in advance before the actors asked for a salary increase-this is also due to Tang Shuxuan who was the early planner, director system and director of "Happy Hotel", otherwise the current The director can't talk to the president directly.
Tang Shuxuan took into account their thoughts and thought that this is actually very good. It can not only ensure the continuous growth of the company's TV series, but also give some rewards to the hard actors.
And this number is not high relative to the overall profit.
Don't say to give a lot at a time, and then I don't know how to increase the price.
The current pay system for American TV series has been studied by Tang Shuxuan long ago.
Generally speaking, the superstars of TV series are usually one episode of 1-3 thousand dollars, the first-class star is one episode of 80-10,000 dollars, and the second-rate stars are about five or six thousand.
Although the "Happy Hotel" is popular, it does not mean that the actors are also popular.
In the first season, it certainly belonged to the point where the celebrities are not popular. It takes a few more seasons for everyone to become familiar with them before they continue to gain popularity.
Moreover, why can "Happy Hotel" be popular?
Not only the Disney people know, but these actors also understand.
Because this is a script written by the big boss himself!
Who is the big boss?
Yin Jun!
Wrote "E.T." This is the genius of the first box office script in film history!
Wrote the genius screenwriters of "The Speed of Life and Death", "Beverly Hills Detective", "Police. Cha School", "The Chainsaw" and "Terminator"!
Is his precise carving in "Happy Hotel", which makes each character stand out.
This time, the people who came to shoot "Happy Hotel" are old people who have been on the street for several years or even dozens or twenty years. They deeply understand that it is not difficult to make the protagonist in a TV series stand out. Child, the difficulty is to make the supporting character also follow suit.
But this is not the most difficult.
The most difficult thing is that in Yin Jun's "Happy Hotel", everyone who comes out has flesh and blood, so that "Happy Hotel" is a small society and a dance of life.
Therefore, it was Yin Jun who made "Happy Hotel" and these people, not these people who made "Happy Hotel" and Disney.
Do not make a mistake in the primary and secondary relationship of this point. If you make a mistake, you will be confused about yourself.
Otherwise, I am afraid that this time there will be some actors who will jump out and ask for a higher salary.
After all, judging by the results of "Happy Hotel", you can get the rewards of first-class stars.
But again, the characteristics of this TV series are also very clear.
Although is based on a small bar, the bar owner Sam Malone is not the absolute protagonist, he just played a role of channeling, at best it is a little more.
The rest of the waiter Diane, as well as those regulars, there are a lot of stories happening among them.
So "Happy Hotel" is a group acting, if the scores of dozens of people are similar, how do you make them feel that they have become a first-class star?
This makes no sense!
If "Happy Hotel" gives them all the rewards of first-rate celebrities, then the expense of this drama will be too great to be possible at all.
And in the second season, the film was paid to the top stars, what about the third season? What about the fourth season?
If anyone dared to raise their remuneration unscrupulously, I am afraid that the only thing Disney can do is to change the role of this actor to another person.
Then, Disney can do even better.
Did n’t you sign a 15-year contract with me? Didn't you sign this drama?
it is good!
I do n’t want you to be active, I also give you the basic minimum salary, you can stay in the studio when you film me, you can sit, and you do n’t need to do anything else. Before you can leave.
As for what to say to go out to film?
Sorry!
You have to meet my contract, this has already been decided.
Even if it's the filming of "Happy Hotel", you just have to go out and film, and I will call you right away and let you come to participate in post-production-so many times, which crew do you dare to invite you?
If Disney really wants to do this ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ then this actor can't get out in three to five years.
Even a lawsuit cannot be resolved quickly.
Think about it, finally you have a good character, a little famous, but Disney just hold you for three or five years, and when the matter is resolved, who can remember you again? Who is willing to pay for the show you performed?
Don't think big companies are just as formal.
The big companies are all together, it is even more painful, and they can't find any way to deal with it.
Most of the actors in "Happy Hotel" are the actors in Laopu Street. For the many darkness in the circle, they have already realized a lot, and even suffered a lot from their own losses.
So when some young actors were a little tempted, they told their own experiences and some lessons to these people.
Then ...
Then these dissonant sounds disappeared immediately.
"Happy Hotel" after the holidays in May and June, will begin to prepare for the second season in July.
Compared to the first season.
Except that director Tang Shuxuan will not do anything else, nothing else has changed! ! ...
First set a small goal, such as 1 second to remember: Book guest home mobile version Reading URL:
