I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 250 249. Continue to sign Jiang Chen's sky-high price! Yaoyao is still in the lead in the rankings.

Jiang Chen’s performance just now lasted only a few minutes!
but……

What he brought to the program team was more than the previous and subsequent dozens of minutes combined.

The peak ratings have passed five o'clock.

There are also live broadcast rooms with more than 40 million people watching online.

and!

At this time, the entire network was discussing Jiang Chen’s just-concluded performance, which made the popularity of the entire program surpass its previous peak and reached a higher peak again.

Guo Haitao knew that the money spent on Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi and the other three was definitely worth it.

The next period of advertising revenue will definitely surge to a higher level.

of course……

Even if advertising revenue skyrocketed, it might not be able to make up for the performance expenses of Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi and the other three.

This is because the bulk of the sponsorship fees have already been received and the price cannot be raised any further.

However, the improvement to the program team as a whole, as well as its future improvement, is absolutely immeasurable, and the benefit to Shonan TV as a stand-in cannot be measured by money.

In this period of dismal television ratings, the ratings of Xiangnan Satellite TV have once again exceeded 5, breaking the highest ratings record in the past ten years. This kind of counter-trend performance will definitely bring huge political benefits to all the leaders of Xiangnan Satellite TV. In the future, the income of the entire TV station will reach a higher level, and this part of the income will definitely far exceed the performance fee paid to Jiang Chen.

Guo Haitao was thinking in his mind when the phone rang, bringing him back to reality.

The person who called was Mr. Liu from the copyright company of the King of Singers Contest.

Guo Haitao answered the call immediately: "Mr. Liu, have you seen the data the program team sent you?"

The copyright company and TV station executives will be the first to see the program team's real-time data, no later than Guo Haitao.

Mr. Liu said excitedly, "Of course I saw it. The ratings can exceed 5, which is definitely a miracle in this era. Can Jiang Chen perform again later?"

Let Jiang Chen continue to perform later?

Guo Haitao smiled bitterly, thinking to himself - you really dare to think so, and answered directly: "It's impossible, Jiang Chen has already gone back to the hotel to rest after get off work."

Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment: "Off work? Going back to the hotel to rest? Isn't the show over yet? There's at least half an hour left? He left?"

Guo Haitao patiently explained: "Yes, this is what we agreed to in the contract we signed with him. I have sent you a copy of the contract."

Mr. Liu was silent. He didn't even look at the details of the contract carefully. He just took a general look at the contract amount. He felt sorry for Jiang Chen who could take away more than 20 million for one performance, but after seeing the ratings just now, he felt that the 20 million was worth it.

But now that he knew Jiang Chen had left work after the performance, he felt distressed again.

It seemed that Jiang Chen made money too easily, even easier than those two foreigners, and he left as soon as the performance was over.

but……

Mr. Liu was dissatisfied but couldn't say it out loud because it was a clause in the contract.

At the same time, he absolutely did not dare to offend Jiang Chen at this time.

These ratings of over 5 points and the online viewing data of 40 million people are all real benefits.

Not only could he not express his dissatisfaction, Mr. Liu even wanted to continue giving Jiang Chen more money, and said with a smile: "Well, Jiang Chen has his own plans, so let him do what he wants, as long as it doesn't delay the performance. Director Guo, is Jiang Chen's opening performance only signed for one show?"

Guo Haitao: "Yes, we only signed for one show, 50 million per show, which is too expensive. If we sign for more shows, the production team won't have the money to pay."

Mr. Liu said seriously, "Then you should discuss this with the leaders of the station. We are willing to support the next live show and continue to invite Jiang Chen to perform at the opening. As long as he is willing, we will sign him until the end of this season! Let him perform two shows per show, so that the ratings will look better. When we negotiate with the International Copyright Alliance, we can get more share."

Now, the copyright holder of the China Singing King Contest and other copyright holders in Europe and the United States are still arguing over the distribution of profits from the World Singing King Contest.

The ratings in different regions are also one of the important core data that affects the distribution of benefits.

After all, if the ratings are high, then the profit contributed will naturally be more, so isn't it reasonable for them to ask for a larger share?

Guo Haitao: "Shouldn't we allocate them according to ranking?"

Mr. Liu: "That's just a suggestion. It hasn't been passed yet. Besides, the distribution plan you mentioned is about the distribution of core interests! There are also some other peripheral interests, as well as the subsequent continuous copyright income!"

After hearing this, Guo Haitao said he understood.

The World Singing King Contest is a program jointly produced by several copyright holders, and it is the first edition, which involves the distribution of interests in all aspects, so it is naturally impossible to decide it all at once. The core interest is all the income during the duration of this year's program, and this part of the income may be distributed according to the ranking.

After the show ends, there is still a steady stream of copyright income, such as program video playback, live song playback, etc. These long-term revenues cannot be distributed in a one-size-fits-all manner according to rankings, and require comprehensive data considerations from multiple aspects.

Among them, the ratings in each region, the audience population, the comprehensive revenue figures during the program, etc., must all be taken into consideration.

Now, the higher the program ratings and the number of online viewers, the higher the advertising revenue, the more advantages we will have.

As for the surge in expenses caused by the performance fees paid to Jiang Chen, that is another matter!

Guo Haitao said quickly: "Then I will discuss it with Director Li, and then discuss the performance fee with Jiang Chen. Mr. Liu, you have to be mentally prepared."

Mr. Liu was puzzled: "What kind of psychological preparation?"

Guo Haitao: "Jiang Chen himself doesn't care much about money. He earns more than 1 billion yuan from a live broadcast and tens of millions from a performance. It's dispensable to him. The core reason he came to participate in the show is to prove his musical ability and save the Chinese music scene."

"However, Jiang Chen's agent Han Qing is not an easy person to talk to. She will do her best to help Jiang Chen gain benefits! If he wants to continue signing the opening performance, the budget may exceed 50 million."

The budget exceeds 50 million?
Mr. Liu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "But a performance fee of 50 million is already very exaggerated! Zhou Ming and other big names only get 40 to 50 million for a whole season."

Guo Haitao: "How much do Zhou Ming and Ye Lan earn if they don't participate in our show? At most, hundreds of millions a year. If we give them 40 to 50 million in two months, they will make a lot of money. They can also become popular again, and their advertising and concert income will increase significantly."

"Where's Jiang Chen? You know that Jiang Chen earned over 1 billion from a live broadcast, right? You also know that one of his authentic works sold for 2.5 billion, right?"

"He gets 50 million for each performance. Do you think it's too much?"

Mr. Liu was silent, then said: "Not much indeed!"

Guo Haitao: "Han Qing will definitely ask for more, because she knows Jiang Chen should have gotten more, so I'm telling you, Mr. Liu, in advance so that you can be mentally prepared and see what the maximum offer you can accept is."

Mr. Liu remained silent, not knowing what to say.

What Jiang Chen is concerned about at this moment is the overall revenue and subsequent revenue of the World Championship. The interests involved are no longer measurable in tens of millions or hundreds of millions. The overall revenue is at least over one billion.

and so!
Even if Han Qing asked for 100 million yuan for a performance, Mr. Liu calculated in his mind that he would still make a profit in the long run.

but……

That's exaggerated!
Mr. Liu was silent for almost a full minute before he said, "What's the ratings now?"

Guo Haitao: "It's Axe who's performing now. Previously, Axe's performance was at its peak, but now he's performing after Jiang Chen, and the ratings have dropped to 2.9. It dropped from 5.2 to 2.9 in less than five minutes!" Mr. Liu sighed: "Okay! The highest budget in my mind is to give Jiang Chen million per performance. There are only a few shows left before the end of this season, so we can sign them all. Let's see if the TV station agrees!"

There are three or four performances left, 80 million for each opening performance, plus Jiang Chen's participating performance at 25 million per performance. Jiang Chen will get 150 million for participating in one episode!
Guo Haitao did some calculations in his mind and frowned. For the next few performances, Jiang Chen would take away 300 to 400 million yuan in remuneration, which was more than the total of the other core contestants and also more than the total income of this year's King of Singers Competition.

The show is so popular, it will definitely suffer losses by then!
To make money...

It’s all about the world championship.

If the World Championships don’t bring in the expected revenue, then the production team will have had their worst success this year.

The most popular program with a viewership rating of over 5 ended up losing money?

Guo Haitao didn't even dare to think about it.

As a leader of the program team, he also has shares in dividends, and his pay is very low. If there is a loss in the end, he will not get a penny.

and……

This is just the contract amount for Jiang Chen to participate in the domestic singing competition. If Jiang Chen wins the championship and goes to participate in the world competition, how much compensation should be paid to Jiang Chen if the contract is continued?

OK.

Guo Haitao didn't think that far ahead. He just wanted to temporarily increase the ratings of the next few shows, hoping that Jiang Chen could win the championship and defend the dignity of the Chinese music scene. He immediately said to General Manager Liu, "Okay, General Manager Liu, I will discuss it with Director Li. Once there is a result, I will go to Jiang Chen to discuss signing a contract."

Mr. Liu: "Okay, this time, it's a big gamble for us."

Guo Haitao: "I believe in Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen is an incredible genius!"

Mr. Liu: "I am also a fan of Jiang Chen, so I am willing to spend such a price to trust him. Moreover, the total amount of rewards I have given in his live broadcast room has exceeded 10 million."

Guo Haitao laughed and said, "Then Jiang Chen's current wealth is due to your contribution, Mr. Liu."

Mr. Liu: “That’s right…”

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu felt inexplicably proud.

hang up the phone.

Guo Haitao looked at the real-time ratings again. Axel's performance had not ended yet, but the ratings continued to decline and had dropped to 2.6!
The number of online viewers also dropped suddenly from more than 40 million to more than 8 million, and is still declining rapidly.

The comments were filled with complaints.

"After watching Lao Jiang's performance, I couldn't stand watching this foreigner's performance."

"Is Lao Jiang still performing?"

"If Lao Jiang didn't perform, I would go out and play. This foreigner's performance was not good, far worse than Lao Jiang's."

"I even registered an account specifically to vote for Jiang."

“This is also my first time to register an account on the Xiangnan TV video platform.”

"Support Lao Jiang, what's the big deal about registering an account?"

"When will Shameless be uploaded? I think I can listen to it."

"Lao Jiang's new song is uploaded..."

……

Obviously, most of the online viewers who watched the live broadcast came for Jiang Chen, and they all left after Jiang Chen's performance ended.

Of course, the same is true for TV audiences, as can be seen from the changes in TV ratings.

Guo Haitao took a deep breath, then sent a message to Li Haifeng, wanting to discuss the matter of signing Jiang Chen to open the show.

With 80 million for a performance, Guo Haitao was afraid that the TV station would not agree.

This is too exaggerated!
but……

Li Haifeng quickly replied: "80 million is no problem, our station will pay half, you sign the contract with Jiang Chen as soon as possible!"

When Guo Haitao saw the news, his eyes widened in surprise.

When did Shonan TV become so generous?

This is not eight million...

That’s 80 million!
Guo Haitao: "Director Li, are you sure? This is 80 million. If we sign a few more games, the expenditure will be around 300 million."

Li Haifeng: "Of course, I know! Jiang Chen's performance today was very successful, and the station hopes that he can perform more in the future. This will be good for the program and the TV station. Don't worry, the station will pay for it."

Afterwards, Li Haifeng sent Guo Haitao a data spreadsheet.

Guo Haitao took a look and his eyes widened immediately, with a smile on his face. He understood why Xiangnan TV agreed to pay so readily without any bargaining or hesitation.

This data is actually from Shonan TV’s own video platform.

As of today's show, the maximum number of online users on the live video streaming platform has reached over 43 million, and the number of new registered users has exceeded 10 million. This is something that cannot be measured by money for Shonan TV.

In recent years, Xiangnan TV has been trying to develop its own video platform, but the effect has not been very good. The traffic brought by its own programs alone is limited.

Today, Jiang Chen brought more than 10 million new users to Xiangnan TV's own video platform. This was only Jiang Chen's first performance on stage, and the new users he attracted exceeded the efforts of Xiangnan TV in a year.

What about the next few times?
As long as it can continue to attract more new users and allow its video platform to develop rapidly, Xiangnan TV will definitely not feel sorry for the money.

Guo Haitao understood and immediately replied to Li Haifeng: "Okay, then I will go to Han Qing tomorrow morning to discuss the performance contract."

Li Haifeng: "Okay, let's confirm it as soon as possible!"

End the chat.

Guo Haitao then noticed that Chen Xun was already at the end of the show.

All performances in this episode are coming to an end.

The result of Jiang Chen's challenge had already come out.

Perhaps it can be said that at this time, except for Chen Xun, the three voting results and rankings of other contestants have come out.

Look at the data table.

Guo Haitao only thought of one word - far ahead.
