this man is not calm

Chapter 228
TV series and movies are different. Generally, the leading actors are charged according to how much they charge per episode.

So, how much does a well-known TV actor earn on average today?
Performing a play in a large theater can earn the leading actor tens of yuan. An ordinary TV series can earn 300 yuan per episode. He is already a "famous actor" with relatively national recognition.For annual major productions such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the expenses are so exaggerated, not because of the high salary of the actors. Even if a superstar like Dai Yiqin joins, the salary is only a little higher than that of other main actors. There is absolutely no episode that costs hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Thousands of things.The real money is spent on serving the road, scene layout, the construction of the "Three Kingdoms City", and various war scenes.

Why are movie actors "higher" than TV actors?
In addition to differences in artistic achievements and cultural influence, earning more from acting in movies is also an important factor.

This is already considered good. It is said that 20 years ago, a well-known domestic theater troupe touring the country only paid a few cents for a starring role. Apart from such "external talents", they basically received a dead salary.

Even now, most actors only regard acting as a way to earn a living. Compared with driving screws in a factory or dusting dust on a construction site, without the blessing of being a cultured person or artist, they probably have no sense of superiority.

It is cheaper to make TV series than to make movies, but not much less. However, there are not so many low-cost urban sitcoms.

It is not difficult to find a similar house, add a few decent exteriors, or even set up a simple studio.

The production requirements are low, and the actors' salaries are naturally not full.

However, Jin Shang's production budget did not put too much pressure on the actors' remuneration.Based on the standard of [-] episodes in a season, the leading actor spends about three months, or at most half a year, to film one episode, and can earn over [-] yuan. This income is similar to the dead salary of Sosou, and is better than many Artists from theater troupes in more difficult places have high annual incomes.

It's no wonder that someone used connections to find Zhu Jingxiao to stuff people into the company. The public average salary in Beijing is already over a thousand, but this doesn't mean that most people can get so much.In the actor profession, except for a few leading artists whose income is significantly higher, most of them are below the average.

In the future, the era of Internet traffic dividends is coming, which may be good for middle- and lower-class actors, but isn’t that time not yet reached?

Even so, filming a TV series may cost millions. Preliminary estimates suggest that it will cost at least 50 million to win. This is already more than three times the average investment in domestic sitcoms.

These days, sitcoms have been spreading from abroad for three or four years. Satellite TV shows in various places have also shown many shows of the same type. Most of them have been received well. The daily shots are close to the lives of ordinary people and are very suitable for family-style viewing.

Such a large investment is not because Jinxi Culture has deep pockets. It only spent a small amount of money. The rest is prepared to be filled by product placement and investment promotion. The main roles are played by powerful "old drama stars", with a set of actors. The two well-known actors will invite guest stars from time to time, and many minor roles will be played by artists under the Nan Brothers, so that they can become familiar with each other and prepare for their future debut.

"I'm really worried. Do I need to hire a chief operating officer (COO)?"The company is getting bigger and bigger, and its business scope is getting wider and wider. The general manager (president) is always in charge of the company, and there will always be times in the future when it will be too busy. 』

In the company structure that Wei Shuangping has set up for Jinxi Culture, many of them are still in vain. There is no talent or lack of opportunity, which is one of the main reasons why other people have to take on the role.

After completing the daily routine, Jin Shang planned to ask Wei Shuangping and Qi Zhaoyun to discuss something. After realizing it, the two went to receive visitors from Glacier Trading. In the afternoon, they also visited Jinxi Mall's warehousing logistics and actual platform operations. Let's first let them know. Let’s talk about it after we have a basic understanding of the other party.

Internet companies are developing at an extremely fast pace. The situation at the beginning of last month and the middle of this month are completely different.

Especially with the sharp increase in the number of users of Jinxi Chat, huge traffic has been introduced, causing the turnover of Jinxi Mall to show explosive growth.

Especially with group purchases that offer high quality and low prices, even the Venus game console, which is not very popular, can sell two to three hundred units a day. This is quite an exaggerated figure.Because it was based on successive price reductions and promotions, it basically made no money. If you include cassettes and after-sales, and share the development and operating costs, it actually still suffered a slight loss.But in the long run, the comprehensive group company's income will definitely be profitable.

E-commerce is so sensitive to the injection of traffic, and there are two sectors with extremely exaggerated growth, namely Jinxi Music and Jinxi Netdisk, which is based on email and downloader businesses.

Once the latter was launched, it was well received by business people, university teachers and scientific researchers. The main data carrier now is still disk, which has low capacity and slow reading speed. DVD disc has a huge capacity and a very fast reading speed. It is fast, but the corresponding burners, laser reading, etc. are not yet the mainstream of computer configurations. It would be very convenient if there was a network hard drive that could be accessed anytime and anywhere.

Although long-term, large-capacity access requires VIP activation and a rental fee, the size of the network disk that can be provided for free is enough to work in most scenarios.

The free application only requires registration and binding of a Jinxi chat account, which is also very easy to complete. Anyway, online chatting has almost become fashionable, and there is not much resistance to forced hooking.

The company held an essay competition some time ago and selected a number of leading works. After being distributed online and in the physical market, the response among young people in colleges and universities was pretty good. Many fashionable adults also like to read it. This kind of best-selling book cannot be said to be of high artistic level and has a strong commercial atmosphere.

Some names that have never appeared in the past, such as online chatting, online dating, and online dating, are also mentioned by some urban men and women.

It takes a long time for new things to appear and be accepted by people. At present, the Internet, a mysterious thing that is far away from most people, still has a long way to go before it can become an indispensable part of daily life. Walk.

As for the former, it is even more popular. The easy-to-use and affordable Jinxi Music not only provides genuine music auditions, but also allows you to get the latest pop music trends in a more convenient way. Dai Yiqin’s new single will have to wait until a month later. , the sales peak will be over before Jinxi Music will be launched.As for the old albums and singles he has released, the number of listens and purchases has been extremely exaggerated.

It can only be said that the singles and albums of Xiaomaza Band are selling well, because the music library is still relatively small, and there is not much room for choice. Yuan Xiu and Mei Shuying are the tallest among the shortest, and they do not have much national recognition. He and Fang Hua are more or less popular in Jinxi music.

The English single "Lemon Tree" was released online simultaneously with offline sales. Although there were many people who tried it, the actual people who paid for it were only just over [-]. On average, out of forty auditions, fifteen were listened to and ten were collected. Five of them have listened to it many times, but only two have paid for the download, and one will also buy the physical disc.

This data is very touching when there are very few competitors.It can only be said that Xiaomazha Band is currently in a stage where the singers are not popular, and the singers cannot drive sales at all. Mei Shuying, who has beautiful songs and beautiful songs, is better, and Yuanxiu, who is sunny and handsome and is like the big boy next door, The recognition is still relatively low, and not many loyal fans are willing to pay for it.

In terms of the efficiency of converting popularity and cashing out, Jin Shang and Dai Yiqin are far apart. This is the insurmountable gap between full-time celebrities and amateurs playing for tickets.Of course, downloading a genuine single for two yuan is actually quite expensive. Even if you take advantage of all the discounts, the price is still between one and a half to one and eighty yuan. Judging from the current income of residents, it is simply outrageous.

However, Jinshang has no intention of lowering the price. If it doesn't raise the style a little higher at the beginning, if it is regarded as cheap junk, it will be difficult to improve it in the future. Anyway, there are no competitors now, so first set the price high, and then provide Provide high-quality services to improve user experience and gradually build a genuine and authoritative moat.

For example, the popularity, sales and professional musician recommendation lists currently posted on the sub-page have become the main channels for Jinxi Music users to find new songs.

This mode of controlling the interface entrance will gradually cultivate users' habits, and ultimately build Jinxi Music into the most authoritative pop song platform in China.

As for the copyright trading and personal publishing mechanisms that have just been launched, they are still in trial operation. Currently, there are very few transactions. The quality of songs uploaded by individual music lovers is not high, and basically no one pays attention to it.

There are many subsidiary applications that can provide certain value, which is the best. As the wings of Jinxi Chat, they defend its core position, retain more active users, attract passers-by to join, and at the same time enjoy the traffic bonus. Huge increase.

After the virtuous cycle is formed, Jinshang no longer needs to consider spending huge sums of money on advertising and promotion.

There are only so many Internet users at present, and the target users have basically been attracted. Only by embedding soft advertisements in various cultural and creative works, and naturally appearing in all aspects of daily life, can more people accept Internet applications. The essential.

The pioneering period of fighting a protracted war, acting in an upright manner, and taking eccentric swordsmanship has passed.

Not only Jin Shang, but also those who felt the huge driving role when Jinxi Chat took off were Zhao Rongzhen, the editor-in-chief of "Jingxi Metropolis Daily" and Wang Yan, the editor-in-chief of "Zhiyin Zatan". The popularity of the newspapers and magazines in their hands increased. On the one hand, literature The website Jinxi Library also benefited from the injection of traffic, which resulted in the number of paid reading users almost tripling, and the number of clicks from free users increasing by more than [-] times.

Of course, the absolute value is still very small, and the reason for the rapid growth is because the starting point is low, so the persuasiveness is still very lacking.

Even so, Zhao Rongzhen and Wang Yan were very happy and increased their investment in Jinxi Library. They took the opportunity to start the second round of essay collection activities and submitted a report requesting additional staff.

With the current development trend of Jinxi Library, it is certain that it will not make money in a short period of time. However, the average length of stay of netizens is even more exaggerated than Jinxi Chat.

Also, reading novels is not a strong need, but for fans, once they are fascinated by it, they will not care about anything else.

After everything was on track, the situation naturally improved, which made Jin Shang very happy. However, the next phone call from his father Jin Shi greatly dampened Jin Shang's good mood.

After thinking hard about the plan for a comprehensive football award last night, Jin Toki also read it carefully and criticized it from beginning to end.

The words are very long, but I can sum them up in one sentence:

"If you don't want to be known as 'money comes quickly when people are stupid', it's better not to be too wild."

Paying out money and giving out prizes is a trivial matter, and it doesn’t matter if the rich are just having fun. But if you really want to achieve something real, you must have the recognition of a broadly recognized association, federation and other organizations, and a strong and powerful It is endorsed by promotional media, mature business development and supported by a large number of fans, advertisers and big companies.

First of all, it requires the endorsement of the Football Association, Football Federation, Players Association, Coaches Exchange Club, and well-known football commentators. This is something that the Jin family and his sons cannot handle.It's easy to win awards, and it's not difficult to distribute money, but if you really want to be widely recognized, it's really not something you can do casually.

Secondly, some of the ideas based on the awards are built on the strong support of powerful media groups based on television networks.Don't even think about TV broadcasts and the like. It's already the limit to just play a side game and run a local tabloid affiliated with it.Unless the Internet develops rapidly and reaches 3G and beyond, and is sufficient to support online TV, then there is hope of breaking through.

That was a deal worth billions to tens of billions. It was not something that the Jin family and his son could covet, and even Mei Yingnian didn't dare to think about it.

It’s okay not to mention any more counter-arguments.

At first, Jin Shang was a little unconvinced. He thought that his father Jin Si had underestimated the strength of major IT companies in the future after the Internet developed. It would be impossible to own a domestic TV station, nor would it be possible to own a major cross-regional national newspaper. It's not about being rich or powerful, it's about being illegal.There is hope abroad, but technology and cultural companies that can be based locally and serve the people are in vain working outside.

There is definitely a way to form an alliance of interests, mutual benefit, not seeking control, and being able to stand on one side when needed is enough.

Later, Jin Shang calmed down, actually considered Jin Toki's worries, and basically agreed with his judgment.

Simply relying on individuals to spend money will never make it happen. People say that the entertainment industry is closed and exclusive, and the football industry is even worse.

The "Bosman Act" in the previous life had to be delayed for many years under the heavy pressure of the European Union before it had to compromise; the shady story of FIFA's top leaders was also shocking when it was revealed.
