Chapter 965 Do I Have a Backing?
The entertainment industry is a hugely profitable industry, especially after the crazy influx of hot money...
Several self-produced PPTV dramas have taken the Chinese Internet by storm. In three months, the number of paid members has reached nearly 24 million...
This is a real profit...
According to the second quarter financial report released by PPTV last month, operating income was close to 4.2 billion yuan, of which membership service revenue was 1.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 500%, online advertising service revenue was 500 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25%, and content distribution (distribution) ) and other income achieved revenue of 353 million yuan and 1.207 billion yuan respectively this quarter...
PPTV’s other income refers to game publishing income…
After all, in addition to the video platform, it is also the top three game distribution platform in China!
Previously, PPTV mainly relied on game revenue and advertising revenue to support its business.
The pattern of self-produced dramas has opened up, directly accounting for more than one-third of the revenue!
Of course, there is definitely no profit. The revenue cost is close to 5 billion yuan, of which the content cost is 4.1 billion yuan and the operating cost is 740 million yuan...
However, the revenue brought by the membership business has stimulated many streaming media. Tencent Video, Youku, Sohu, and Xingshi have all announced the creation of self-made dramas!
Penguin Film and Television, Sohu and LiTV have all gone out of business. Penguin Film and Television has invested heavily in the "Kyushu" series and announced the creation of "Kyushu·Sea Muyun Ji", "Jiuzhou·Sky City", "Jiuzhou·Miao Miao Lu", "Jiuzhou·Piao Miao Lu", Kyushu·Mrs. Huzhu》…
By the way, the "Kyushu" series was co-created by many people. Back then, someone was trolling the forum, saying that Dragonlance, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter were just mediocre, so why not write a Chinese-style fantasy epic.
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a good idea, and everyone got involved. Seven of them contributed the most to the setting and novel. These were the earliest Seven Heavenly Gods of Kyushu: Buipiao, Pan Haitian, Jin He Zai, Zhan An, and Remote Control. , eventful, Jiangnan...
Later, people in the Sci-Fi World editorial department were very optimistic about this world view. First, they opened a column for Kyushu in the Marvel Archives, and later even published a special fantasy issue serializing Kyushu.
In 2004, after being serialized in the Science Fiction World Fantasy edition for one year, Kyushu launched its solo publication.
In 2007, Kyushu Gate broke out. The so-called Kyushu Gate refers to magazines such as "Science Fiction World Fantasy Edition", "Dinosaur Kyushu", "Kyushu Fantasy" and "Kyushu Chronicles" appearing on the market at the same time after Kyushu's solo career, which caused confusion. Extremely…
In fact, after "Jiuzhou" made a solo career in the science fiction world, it first published "Dinosaur·Jiuzhou". The reason why the word "dinosaur" is included is because this magazine is sponsored by someone else - the Institute of Paleontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
After a while, Jiang Nan felt unhappy, so he quietly went to BJ to open a new base, which was the remaining "Jiuzhou Chronicle". Jin Hezai was very angry, and the two broke up...
Bringing it back to the topic, Jingshi focuses on Guo Jingming, as well as supernatural web dramas;
Sohu also wants to make efforts to produce self-produced dramas... However, they have no goal yet - throughout last year, Zhang Chaoyang stayed away from the public eye for a year due to anxiety and depression, and the helmsman was absent...
As for Youku, Youku is currently busy making efforts in the stock market and raising stock prices, and has no time to make homemade dramas!
Several video platforms have announced the creation of self-produced dramas. Then, celebrities ushered in the era of price increases - video platforms are trying to steal people!
And the more famous the better!
For example, Na Zha, the star of "Wuxin Master"... This example is not accurate. "Wuxin Master" has not been aired yet, but Na Zha's net worth has increased from 150,000 to 350,000 per episode...
After that, we will usher in an era when any project involves tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars!
There is no one who does not yearn for this circle. You must know that in the original time and space, after "The Princess's Promotion" became a hit, Sheng Yilun's second drama "The General" was paid 33 million!
Simply...
Zhang Tianai's agency includes Hai Qing and Huang Haibo, and she knows very well how much these people are paid...
So, very envious.
But her methods are very clumsy, and her artistic skills and artistic attainments are very weak...
And she has a boring personality... She obviously has two big photo albums!
There was no other way, Shen Xudong had to personally guide her to change into the costume of "The Princess"...
I barely managed it...
He left that night and didn't even stay!
Okay, actually, he rushed back to BJ to have something to do...
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Tianai had breakfast at the hotel as usual, and then went to the set.
I thought there would be something different, but... the director, photographer, and on-site producer were still very strict with her...
Including the actors, there was no embarrassing situation as imagined.
However, after the filming, her manager Zhou Yanxi came over and the first thing he said was, 'Did you sleep with Xudong? ’
"...Well, I fell asleep..."
"No wonder..."
"What's wrong?"
"The mobile game of the same name as "The Crown Princess" appointed you as the spokesperson, and the price is 2 million... Also, "Dragon" cast you to play Mu Wanqing, and PPTV online movie "Jingjue Ancient City" cast you to play Shirley Yang…”
"ah?"
"Not only that, there are also three online dramas and two TV dramas in cooperation with CCTV. You are the second female lead or above!" Speaking of this, Zhou Yanxi asked: "...Is he very satisfied with you?"
"I don't know..." Zhang Tianai shook his head: "He left last night..."
"I guess so..." Zhou Yanxi sighed: "Otherwise, she wouldn't be just the second female lead!"
"The second female lead is already very good..."
"Only you think it's good. Do you know Wang Zhi?"
"I know...I even went to the cinema to watch "The Instructor"!"
Well, "The Instructor" was released last month and took in 420 million at the box office. Wang Zhi is known as an actress who carries the flag for women. Her commercial value has skyrocketed and she has received a lot of endorsements... I heard that she will also star in the Hollywood action film " "Red Flame Battlefield 2" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2"...
Obviously, Zhou Yanxi did not think that Wang Zhi got it based on his own ability: "Before "The Grandmaster", Wang Zhi was just a small actor... because he hooked up with Shen Xudong, and then he got the chance to show off..."
"…Then what should I do?"
"Do you have his contact information?"
"...added his WeChat..."
"Keep in touch... Your task now is to keep in touch with him as much as possible!"
Zhang Tianai was unhappy: "...I still have to film!"
"I'm not telling you to stop filming," Zhou Yanxi waved, "but you have to prioritize..."
Zhang Tianai nodded: "...Okay, I understand, I will contact him."
"Well, then you change your clothes and I'll take you to meet a few people tonight..."
"Want to meet again?"
"Liao Gaoxiang, the chief producer of "Tian Long Ba Bu", he also has several martial arts films in his hands... He is the chief producer of Fan Xiaopang's "The Empress' Martial Arts Strategy"... I've been asked to see you by name!"
"Meet me by name? Why?"
"He and Xudong are roommates. He must have heard about you and Xudong..."
"So?" Zhang Tianai suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously: "He...could he be interested in me?"
"...I'll give you a hand..." Zhou Yanxi glanced at Zhang Tianai; "Don't think blindly, Mr. Liao, Mr. Zhao and Xudong are all as close as brothers..."
