Chapter 718 What? A Salary of 150 Million per Year?
Huang Bo was managed by a brokerage company many years ago. When he was filming "Crazy Stone", he signed a special artist cooperation contract with An Ran Company. Later, after the contract with the original brokerage company expired, he set up his own personal studio.
So this time when they entered the group "Extreme Challenge", the two people's friendship is back to love, but business affairs still have to be done in a public manner, remuneration, artist rights, rights, responsibilities, obligations, both parties' breach of contract clauses, each item must be written clearly. Sign on behalf of.
However, through friendly negotiation between the two, the time limit for the first signing is set to five years, and the appearance fee is 1 million per episode. The average ratings in the first year are used as a standard, and the next one is determined by a certain fluctuation ratio. If the ratings are too bad, maybe next year's salary will drop even more.
Hearing Yang An's price of 1 million yuan per episode, Huang Bo was quite surprised: "Is my price too high?"
Yang An smiled and said: "The actor's worth should be like this. I think the return is less, mainly because there are too many episodes. There are 52 episodes a year. Your salary alone is half a hundred million, so the six of us are at least several hundred million." , It’s still a little difficult for me to get so much money at once, so I want to pay by the number of episodes. You’re welcome, if you give too little, it will make the outside world feel that the price is lower, saying that Huang Bo is only 1 million an episode, what is this? Bad show..."
Huang Bo was speechless: "According to your arrangement, I will only be busy for four months a year at most, and I really feel ashamed to earn half a billion."
"Okay, this matter is out of dispute, let's do it like this. I will ask people to raise 50 based on this benchmark, and make an external publicity quotation. We still follow the rules for the prestige project that should be done. For your worth, and for our program The position is beneficial."
Yang An made it clear that no changes could be made. He thought he was fair and did not take too much advantage of Huang Bo.
The main reason is that it is too much to do 52 issues in a year. If the 12 issues in the first quarter are calculated based on the naming fee of 600 million, one issue is 50 million. If it is replaced by 52 issues, it will cost 2.5 billion in advertising fees , no company can afford this price, even a group of companies can't afford it.
Therefore, Yang An took the initiative to dilute the company's advertising costs on a single episode, and tried to make it a long-term thing. The program only allowed high-quality advertisers to join, and put the artist's main income outside the program, so that pure TV programs A part of the cost is transferred to other than TV, and everyone suffers a bit, and it becomes a long-term cooperation.
"Extreme Challenge" is a long-lived show that is going to be on the air for ten years. It is definitely not a grass-roots team that just makes a fortune and leaves. Money is really not important to them, they still need word-of-mouth.
Huang Bo's net worth is 1 million yuan per episode, and he thinks that Yang An is paying too much. In his own words: "Participating in "Extreme Challenge", then I can appear in front of the audience every week. Any entertainment headlines are still useful, and I don’t even need to hire a marketing hype team.”
Huang Bo opened his own studio, he is the boss, and he is very talkative, but Sun Honglei's team is much better, because Sun Honglei is a big company he signed.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Honglei and his team arrived from Shenzhen City. They went straight to the topic, chatting about the big frame of "Extreme Challenge" and Sun Honglei's work schedule, and soon came to the key issue that everyone could not avoid. Calculate?
Manager Xiao Zhang directly quoted 3 million yuan per episode, Yang An was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sun Honglei: "Is this what you mean?"
Before Sun Honglei could answer, Xiao Zhang said instead: "This is a quotation from the company, and it has nothing to do with Brother Honglei."
Yang An didn't speak, but looked at each other strangely, and his gaze stayed on everyone's face for a long time.
The atmosphere in the living room was very dignified, Sun Honglei couldn't express the pain in his heart, and cursed inwardly: "Foot trick!"
When he was still in Shenzhen, the team proposed 3 million an episode, and he objected at that time, but the team insisted on this offer, and he had no choice. After all, his company is a bit different. All negotiations, quotations,
Contracts and itineraries are all handled by the management team. Artists can only concentrate on filming and appearing on the show. They only have the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions. The decision is in the hands of the company.
Xiao Zhang was terrified by Yang An, and his eyes were a little dodgy. The lawyer was thinking from the perspective of a brokerage company. His thinking was already commercialized, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the offer.
In the entertainment circle, there is often an industry standard for things like quotations, and they are not just yelling.
For example, Zhou Xun's salary is 100 million, and then other stars are ranked one by one according to their popularity and status. Which level of star you are, you can get the salary at that price. Whether your award-winning results have improved or not depends on your box office appeal over the years and how high your audience ratings have increased. Otherwise, if you are a maid, and you insist on taking the salary of a young lady, investors will only care about you. It’s not that I won’t turn without you, but there shouldn’t be too many similar stars who can replace you!
The same is true in the variety show industry. There are variety show stars like Yang An, and variety show newcomers like Wang Baoqiang.
Two years ago, variety show newcomer Sun Honglei received an invitation from Yang An to participate in "Boys Over Flowers". At that time, the signed salary was 500,000 per episode. Because he joined halfway, he only recorded 10 episodes in a season, and Yang An paid a total of 500,000. Wan gave to Sun Honglei's agency. At that time, the total number of episodes in a season was only 12, and the price of a single episode could be higher.
When "Boys Over Flowers" is finished, Sun Honglei has shown his talent in variety shows. Domestic audiences are still looking forward to him appearing in variety shows, and his variety show salary has indeed increased a lot.
This time, because Sun Honglei is also the best movie star, Shidi, and his net worth ranks high among domestic male stars, and the promotion of "Extreme Challenge" is so awesome, what kind of man gang will make a comeback and conquer the Chinese audience again, the momentum is very loud It is very big, so taking into account Sun Honglei's normal salary increase in the past two years and the premium of the company's contract, his management team thinks that the offer of 3 million per episode is not too much.
But they selectively ignored a number, that is, 52 issues.
52 multiplied by 3 million, the total price for one year is more than 150 million. This digital broker team even thinks it is impossible.
Originally they planned to quote 3 million, but then Yang An directly cut it in half, and they pushed and pushed, and the deal was 1.5 million, with a total price of 78 million.
But Yang An didn't counter the price, instead, he looked at the few of them directly, and now the team was on fire.
Sun Honglei felt very embarrassed. There was no sound on the court, and the two sides had nothing to talk about. He felt uncomfortable and took the initiative to break the deadlock and stood up and said, "Well, Director Yang, why don't we have something to eat first, and we can talk about work tomorrow?"
Yang An casually closed the notepad in front of him, and nodded: "That's fine, otherwise, I'll call Huang Bo and Sha Bei, and the four of us will go eat fresh river fish together. I still have work tomorrow, Huang Bo I'm also busy going back, the next time we meet again, I don't know what year and month it will be."
Seeing Yang An stand up and press the intercom to call the secretary to see off the guests, the manager Xiao Zhang and the others felt cold in their vests and broke out in a cold sweat.
What Yang An said was very casual. If it was a chat between friends, the content would be quite normal, but if you think about the topic of the chat just now, it may mean that Yang An has already denied that Sun Honglei and everyone get along as ordinary friends. You come to my house , I do my best to treat you as a landlord, treat you to a meal, and then send you away, and I will have nothing to do with you in the future.
"Mr. Yang, this...we..." The manager Xiao Zhang wanted to say something, his face was full of embarrassment, and he wanted to fight for it again. At least you should sit down and bargain?
But Yang An didn't play cards according to common sense. They played a pair of threes. Yang An didn't need to press a pair of fours, and didn't say whether he wanted it or not. He just threw his cards on the table and stopped playing. What did they do?
Yang An smiled happily: "I'm really sorry, I don't do specific work, and the people below will do all the negotiating and signing. Otherwise, how can us bosses have time to enjoy life? Haha, let's go, Brother Honglei, together Go Happy"
Before Sun Honglei was taken away, he gave Xiao Zhang and the lawyer a vicious look, and silently threatened that if this matter went wrong today, he would kick them out and tell them to get out!
Under the command of Secretary Yang An, Xiao Zhang and the others had no choice but to leave angrily. An Ran Company kindly provided an 11-seat business minibus to send the group of people away.
Sun Honglei was really anxious, walking beside Yang An, hesitating to speak all the time, in fact, he didn't have the idea of playing a big game in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, because the manager had already put him on the fire, this Yang An will only blame him for the blame!
After Yang An called Huang Bo, he asked him to wait at the entrance of the hotel. The two arrived at the gate of the administrative building. The driver guarding there had already opened the door. There is also a partition, after the partition is put down, the driver can't see at all, and can't hear what's going on behind him, Yang An asked Sun Honglei to sit in, and first drove to the hotel where Huang Bo was staying to pick him up.
As soon as the car door was closed and the car hadn't started, Sun Honglei took the initiative to say: "I can't decide the contract issue just now. Don't think I'm the one who opened my mouth..."
Yang An chuckled: "Why not you? Are you a Leo?"
Just kidding, Sun Honglei breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Yang An was not angry, he could only follow along and say, "I'll tell you the truth, my agency..."
Yang An interrupted him, smiled and said: "Okay Honglei brother, it's off work now, let's stop talking about it, okay? Go happy and go to Happy, let the annoying things go to the manager."
Sun Honglei had no choice but to give up. The two soon picked up Huang Bo and went to the place where they ate river fish. Sha Bei was already waiting there. The four members of the Xtreme Men's Gang were all together, so there was naturally a lot of excitement.
