Chapter 1784 Everyone Is Happy
With two good examples in eastern Guangdong and Shanghai, the third one to take the step forward is Jiangnan, the fourth is Minnan, and the fifth is Shuchuan...
For a time, all three TV stations were overwhelmed by the swarm of TV station managers.
Then they were surprised to find that even if some provinces could not provide that much money, ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 per episode, after so many TV stations managed to make back the previous production costs, it was still considered a big deal. profit!
A net profit of 50 to 60 million, or even 70 to 80 million, is not a small amount for any TV station!
More importantly, this is just the beginning.
In the future, more TV stations will come to buy the broadcast rights, and more TV series can be sold. At that time, the net profit will be hundreds of millions!
The mainland's purchase of broadcast rights alone is enough to cover the production costs of most TV series.
Of course, it is certainly impossible for large-scale productions such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Empress Wu Zetian" to rely on the mainland to repay their costs, but this is definitely a huge supplement to production costs.
At this time, both Fang Yihua and Huang Xizhao couldn't help but admire Yin Jun for setting such a cheap price.
It is precisely because the prices are set cheaply that poorer provinces can get cheaper, so these provincial TV stations have never thought of taking the tapes of eastern Guangdong and Shanghai, making a copy, and broadcasting them secretly.
After all, who wants to be a thief when they can do business legitimately?
If word got out, how bad would the reputation be?
Moreover, the heads of those TV stations are all very smart and know that they are currently wooing these patriotic compatriots in Xiangjiang, especially Yin Jun, the world's richest man.
Kylin TV is the foundation of his business. If you don't pay a penny for this and just broadcast it on provincial TV stations openly, isn't that a slap in the face?
At that time, if Kylin TV is held accountable, not to mention the person in charge of the TV station, even the department responsible for publicity will be held accountable one by one. Removal and investigation are considered frivolous.
Moreover, the three major TV stations have said that after you buy these TV series, you can show them however you want, or you can show them to the municipal TV stations below. The buyout fee is included.
This makes everyone feel at ease.
Broadcasting without time limits and without regional restrictions in the province costs only a few thousand to ten thousand yuan, which is still Hong Kong dollars, which is a very good deal.
Except that it is a little more troublesome to convert RMB into Hong Kong dollars.
But if you want to say that a provincial TV station doesn't have this little foreign exchange to use, that's a joke.
Of course, it is not that no one has thought about giving Yin Jun RMB, asking him to exchange it for Hong Kong dollars, and hand it over to Three Satellite TV.
But as soon as this idea was proposed, it was rejected in eastern Guangdong.
The top official in the government said directly, "You are not afraid of embarrassment, I still want this face! Mr. Yin converted all the overseas income from the Kirin instant noodle factory and the Walkman into RMB to support national construction... Now you guys Do you want to be greedy for any advantage? Do you really think that you are the one who is taken advantage of and that you are inherently indebted to me?"
After several years of development, Shanghai and Hainan were not even worse off than eastern Guangdong in terms of foreign exchange. So when Shanghai and Haihai heard about this, they did not hesitate at all and agreed to pay in Hong Kong dollars during the negotiation.
Because Kirin Electronics Company and Kirin Record Factory are located in Jiangnan Province, the state will give them a certain rebate on the foreign exchange of the two companies, so they also pay 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode.
With their precedent, subsequent provinces also used Hong Kong dollars when negotiating with Jinwei City.
Three Satellite TV is very satisfied with being able to receive Hong Kong dollars directly as the buyout fee. The RMB they get in their hands is really of little use, or the Hong Kong dollars are simpler.
Yin Jun happened to receive this information when he was in the United States.
This is not to say that more than a dozen provincial TV stations purchased TV series together.
But the remaining provinces with less favorable conditions have also begun to propose purchasing these TV series for two to three thousand yuan per episode.
Naturally, TVB and ATV will not do this. If we take the RMB, they will not be able to use it in Hong Kong.
But because of Yin Jun, Kylin TV came to ask the boss how it was.
Yin Jun did not hesitate this time and still ordered to politely decline their request, although the three thousand yuan was already 6,000 Hong Kong dollars based on the exchange rate.
Even if it’s just two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars per episode, that’s fine.
The only thing you have to do is give us Hong Kong dollars. This is a sign of respect for the TV stations that purchased the TV series earlier.
Just because you are poor does not mean you can break the rules. This is not acceptable.
Otherwise, who would be willing to abide by these rules in the future?
In addition, Yin Jun also ordered that all TV series in Kylin TV's film library should be made available to everyone, and TVB and ATV should try their best to do the same.
Don't be afraid that the current price will be too cheap. As long as you cultivate these audiences, even if you don't make money from selling copyrights in the mainland, you can still make money back with sky-high advertising fees!
Fang Yihua and Huang Xizhao also understand this truth, but they are not eager to sell the TV series, but want to let the mainland digest it slowly.
After all, TVB's film library has more than 1,000 TV series, ATV also has more than 800 TV series, and only Kylin TV has fewer, probably more than 200 TV series.
Moreover, not all the TV series produced by the three TV stations are classics, and there are also many that are not suitable for broadcasting in the Mainland.
After hearing Tang Shuxuan talk about this, Yin Jun took back his previous idea and let them try it themselves.
But for TVB's proposal to have stars from the three satellite TV stations form a strong lineup to tour the mainland in the second half of next year, Yin Jun wholeheartedly agreed.
Even though mainlanders don’t have much money now, their courage to spend on entertainment consumption is definitely higher than it was 40 years ago.
Those young people 40 years later are tied up with houses, children's education, parental support, etc. all day long, and they don't have much money to spend.
Not to mention that tickets to celebrity concerts, which can easily cost three to five hundred or even thousands, can only be reserved for a small number of people.
It's different now.
Today's people, especially those in cities, most have work units, which are responsible for food, drink, shelter, life and death, so the money in their hands is only used for consumption.
That’s why it happened that a couple could save three months’ salary to buy a cassette player, and a couple could save half a year’s salary to buy a TV.
Therefore, after one tour, a profit of 100 to 200 million can still be guaranteed.
If there is still a concert album to be released, how much profit will there be if tens of millions of tapes are sold?
When there are enough viewers, TVB and ATV can also learn from Kylin TV in selling programs and TV series. We don't need any buyout fees, just give them one minute of advertising time every day. .
Don't underestimate this minute of advertising time.
Dozens of provinces and cities add up to 3,578,000,000 yuan a year, which is casual.
As long as the mainland can support the TV industry in Hong Kong, the centripetal force between the three major TV stations and the mainland will be very good, and they will inevitably gravitate towards the mainland.
Judging from their signal that covers all of Asia, if only good things are said about the Mainland in the program, or most of them say good things about the Mainland, it will have such a huge effect that all the big guys who come to the center will be able to imagine.
From this aspect, there is no problem for their development in the mainland.
It may not be possible to directly broadcast live broadcasts of satellite TV signals, but selling programs and TV series to major TV stations will definitely be smooth sailing, and no one dares to hinder it.
Once the TV station makes money, celebrities will naturally make money too.
In fact, in Xiangjiang, whether it is a satellite TV or a film company, everyone's benchmark is Qilin Culture.
Kirin Culture’s artist contract terms have long been considered the most demanding terms in Hong Kong.
In the past, Wireless Wireless only had a five-year contract, which caused dissatisfaction among so many people.
But Qilin Culture often signs contracts for 10 or 20 years, and more people flock to it.
The reason is very simple. TVB used to use low salaries to tie actors tightly, so that even after they became famous, they could star in their TV series and participate in various activities at extremely low prices.
Ordinary actors are fine, but how can celebrities endure such exploitative contracts?
That's why the Five Tiger Generals rebelled.
But the long-term contract of Qilin culture is different.
Although their contract period is very long, the treatment they give you is not certain.
They make adjustments annually based on your various performances and achievements over the past year.
And even back then, if you performed a super drama or the movie was a box office hit, you would definitely be given various dividend rewards that you deserve.
Apart from the fact that you have to go through the arrangements of Qilin Culture before you can do various acting and advertising work, this contract has no shortcomings at all.
In fact, few people can get the extremely demanding contracts of Qilin Culture today.
Because most people are not qualified for Qilin Culture to issue such a contract.
Those who can have such a contract are Zhou Runfa, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and others in Hong Kong. In the United States, only superstars such as Tom Hanks, Eddie Murphy, Stallone and Schwarzenegger can have this kind of treatment.
It's funny. Entertainment media companies all over the world have now used this contract length data to see whether this person has a high status in Qilin Culture.
This is also known as the "Superstar Contract".
Not only the stars in Hong Kong, but also the stars in Europe and the United States are also eager to get such a contract.
This not only proves that he has strong box office appeal, but will also be the protagonist that Yin Jun will focus on in future movies!
You said in the world, whose movie can make stars and actors more fascinated than Yin Jun's?
