Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 103 What a weird boomerang! [Seeking monthly votes]

February 1th, 31: AM.

The official Weibo account of My Love from the Star updated a post.

@李佳欣,黄晓明, etc., "Warm congratulations on selling the drama "My Love from the Star" to South Korea's SBS for 150 million per episode, earning a whopping 3150 million."

"I wish you all to become the hottest new stars in 2003."

More than three months ago, the official Weibo account of the crew officially announced the makeup team, which set off a wave of hype about F4 becoming rural idols.

From Hong Kong to the mainland, many celebrities and other public figures have tried their best to be as stylish as possible when they appear in public.

Bringing new trends.

It’s not that there aren’t some shoddy TV dramas out there that want to take advantage of their low efficiency and rush out new idol dramas, but the problem is that shoddy dramas simply can’t attract audiences.

The lineup of handsome men and beautiful women from "You Who Came From the Stars" is amazing!
Moreover, all the large villas, large apartments, luxury cars, European and American luxury clothing and bags are genuine products.

Meteor Garden, which destroyed East Asia and Southeast Asia in terms of ratings, and Daomingsi drives a Mazda.

There's no comparison.

During the filming, special effects production and post-production period of "You Who Came From the Stars", the main creators released some dynamic pictures every now and then.

Can continue to attract the audience's attention.

In the TV drama hype circle, Zhang Da Huzi is an expert in hype marketing. From the initiation of a project to its screening, hype to attract attention is basic operation.

But Li Wenyu has a large platform like Weibo, and when it comes to hype, his ability is several times better than that of Big Beard.

Just look at the official Weibo account of the "You Who Came From the Stars" crew. From the final photos to now, it has attracted more than 300 million fans, and you will know that this drama is popular before it even airs.

It is also a super V model and has been maintaining its popularity.

As soon as this news came out, the Internet exploded.

The broadcast rights for a TV series were sold to South Korea for 3150 million? Grass is really a plant.

This was still the beginning of 2003, even after experiencing the era of rapid wealth creation in the s and s.

More than 3000 million, just for selling the broadcasting rights.

When countless replies and comments piled up under the post, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.

At least there are other people in the industry who haven't seen it yet, from TV stations to companies, including many teachers and students in school.

Everyone was silenced by this sudden bolt of thunder.

How good must this TV series be to be worth the South Korean TV station spending so much money to purchase it?
That is the South Korean entertainment industry that launched the boy group HOT, produced popular idol dramas such as Autumn in My Heart and Winter Sonata, and released hit films such as My Sassy Girl.

In a villa in the capital.

Liu Yifei was surfing the Internet when she heard a knock on the door. The door was pushed open from the outside and Liu Xiaoli walked in with a complicated expression.

"Xixi, you know the price of selling your TV series, right?"

Liu Yifei nodded blankly. "I know. South Korea spent 3150 million. My classmate told me on Penguin. Our class of 02, the acting department, was going crazy about it."

What does this have to do with her?
Liu Xiaoli smiled bitterly and said, "I really discussed it with your godfather back then. After we come back, should he set up a special company to support you, or should he take advantage of our alumni relationship and sign you with your senior brother Li's company?"

When Shiguang Media was officially established and signed, Xiao Liu had just returned to China to take the art examination at Beijing Film Academy.

During that period, the news that Lao Li had founded a company was not too widespread, but it was not a secret either. He had already released The Shallows and the second film, The Sound of Music, was in the works.

The noise was huge.

That was Li Wenyu's second film, and basically a lot of film and television groups wanted to get on board and make a fortune.

That kind of momentum? Making other people's movies to earn the first pot of gold, and then starting a company to make money of your own, is basically the most normal development for people who have achieved success.

The timing of the Liu family's return to China was quite coincidental.

Liu Yifei was even more confused after hearing this. "Didn't my godfather give Director Zhang some shares so that I could play Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"

Could it be that her mother wants to use the same model as Zhang Da Huzi to cooperate with Time Media?
She is just 16 years old and doesn't know much about these business cooperation models.

But if Liu Yifei has the opportunity to work with her senior brother Li Wenyu, she would definitely want it. Senior brother Li is famous in the circle for his generous and meticulous work.

There are no messy unspoken rules at all.

Zhang Da Huzi? ?
Just this year, a female actress named Zhang publicly accused and denounced the incident. She persuaded many producers and directors along the way, and all the performance opportunities were obtained through persuasion.

Liu Xiaoli smiled bitterly, "Director Li might only consider supporting you if your godfather doesn't take even a 10% cut for the next five to ten years and gives all the profits to Shi Guang."

“But that in itself is impossible.”

"Besides, Time Media also has a group of young actresses of the same age as you. They are all targeting the same age group."

Liu Xiaoli really regrets it now, very deeply.

When discussing this issue, if she had just let her daughter sign the contract with Shi Guang instead of borrowing Lao Chen's resources to manage the role, it would have been because of her daughter's beauty.

It's impossible to perform too badly.

In her eyes, your third female lead, Yang Mi, is far inferior in appearance and figure.

But according to the information she had inquired about, not to mention that Li Jiaxin could earn seven or eight million a year from an advertising endorsement, it could even be tens of millions.

Advertisers who stayed up late to watch TV have offered Yang Mi 30 yuan to act as the spokesperson for their commercials, and she's the third female lead.

As I said, since Wang Zuxian's comeback, her commercial endorsements still earn her around one million.

The people in charge of the film purchasing department of the TV station and the advertisers have all become fans of You Who Came From the Stars and star-chasers!
Otherwise the price wouldn't be so outrageous.

Liu Yifei was speechless. "The Golden Age and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils will be broadcast after You Who Came From the Stars, right?"

Liu Xiaoli nodded and sighed, "Local TV stations and CCTV are also joining in the trend of watching the drama. I guess there will be many people who are willing to take a gamble."

"If you're quick, it could probably start airing on the first few days of the Lunar New Year."

The first round broadcast rights of "Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Return of the Condor Heroes" sold well, but "Return of the Condor Heroes" is a small miracle in TV dramas, and even Zhang Da Huzi could not catch up with its popularity.

The original version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was sold at 9 per episode in the first round, with a total of 40 million for 360 episodes!
Price is the truest reflection. Tianlong sold N+1 rounds of small profits but quick turnover.

The fact that others would rather spend ten times more than you to buy other TV series is enough to prove everything.

I always feel that the second and third female leads in My Love from the Star seem to be more important and more likely to make money than Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

Liu Yifei was paid less than 10,000 yuan per episode for the role she took on in The Golden Age, and later on when she took on the role in The Chinese Paladin, her pay was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per episode.

Yang Mi, a female third, earned 30 yuan for an advertising endorsement.

Liu Yifei nodded with a blank expression, then suddenly burst out laughing, her teeth clearly visible. "Mom, let me tell you a super magical story. It just spread among my classmates."

"Yang Mi seems to be taking on a TVB drama program in Hong Kong Island. The pay is not as high as her advertising endorsement."

"But her condition for joining is that her salary is higher than that of many male and female stars in the Hong Kong TV circle."

This is what feels super funny!
As we all know, mainlanders have been taking over Hong Kong film roles since the 80s, from Jet Li to Liu Xiaoqing, etc. When they first debuted, their pay and treatment were not as good as those of Hong Kong extras.

A star you exploded out?

Liu Xiaoli was also confused and laughed brilliantly, "What kind of weird boomerang is this?"

Even though TVB's current salary is not as low as the era of fixed monthly salaries of 2,000 to 3,000, it is not much higher than that era.

A housewife killer like Ouyang Zhenhua took on the role in the Forensic Heroes series and was paid tens of thousands of yuan per episode, and he was still the male lead.

In ten years or so, Ouyang Zhenhua can earn dozens of times the salary of a TVB drama by starring in any major online drama.

Liu Xiaoli could only complain that this boomerang, unique to TVB, was too powerful.

Yang Mi's confirmation to join TVB's new film was only announced last night. TVB won't offer a high salary, but it's clearly too low, and Time Media isn't agreeing. If she joins, she'll definitely be paid more than most TVB stars.

Isn’t it TVB’s invitation of Yang Mi for the star effect?

Just like after Swallow became famous, she could also earn 10 to 20 million Hong Kong dollars a year, before the plaster incident.

He has already made it into the top ten of Hong Kong's highest-earning celebrities list based on his income.

Yang Mi is still only the third female role!

Li Jiaxin's level is a huge rise in celebrity status, comparable to the change after surviving a heavenly tribulation.

Liu Xiaoli complained again, lamenting, "I made the wrong choice. Your godfather also takes a cut of your support, and it's quite a bit."

She also found out that graduates from the Beijing Film Academy, such as Miao Pu, Pan Yuchen, and Huang Xiaolei, were mentoring Jiang Shuying, Qin Lan, Liu Shishi and other leading actresses in the film industry in a one-on-one manner.

She also worked as a supporting role in many film crews to learn and train, and the girls were all of the same age.

Now I have changed my mind and want to sign with Shi Guang, but the cost there is already very high.

Xiao Liu was speechless again.

What's the point of you saying this now?

…………

Noon on September 1th.

Li Wenyu had just walked out of the Time Weibo building where he was working on his shift when he heard a laugh coming from the front. "Ayu, Mr. Li, I've been waiting for you here for quite some time."

The loud laughter came from Jackie Chan, who was wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask. The person who got off the car with Jackie Chan was Zhang Guorong.

Old Li quickened his pace and went over to shake hands and greet him, "Just give me a call if you have anything. Brother Rong, you guys are being too formal."

What he has been busy with these days is actually buying the commercial office building that Shiguang Weibo previously leased in Zhongguancun.

Now new houses in Zhongguancun area are only 5000 to 7000 yuan per square meter. Office buildings are more expensive than residential buildings. The problem is that he rented an old building before.

Second-hand prices are definitely much cheaper.

The total sales of Li Wenyu's three books, "Interstellar," "The Martian," and "Slumdog Millionaire," published and sold in mainland China, have reached more than 120 million copies.

The retail price is 30 RMB per copy, which is much cheaper than Hong Kong and Macau and South Korea.

15% royalty income is more than 550 million!

If the outside office space is also moved in, it will be easy to take over the entire six-story small office building. After all, the Time Campus Network will be in internal testing on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and its office is located downstairs from the Weibo department.

Also, the blockbuster Hero has been selling well for another three weeks, following a marathon roadshow with one day of rest and one day of running.

内地总票房已经从1月初的1.08亿，累积到1月26号的2.35亿人民币，每周冲4000万的票房成绩很稳。

After all, we have already entered the winter vacation and New Year's Day box office, and now it is Friday of the eighth week of Hero's release.

The screening rate in the mainland has already decreased, but this eighth week plus the three weeks from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival means that breaking 3 million is a natural result.

There is a good chance that further postponement of the screening will offset the 3.6 ​​million yuan of Titanic.

With the support of "One More Vote", marathon roadshows and Internet promotion, the number of cinema chains has also increased a lot compared to the original trajectory.

Li Wenyu also gets a 5% share of the profits from Yingxiong!

However, only the mainland has strong momentum, and the Harbour Bay has already closed down.

Zhang Guorong smiled and said, "I wanted to go directly to the company. Brother Long said that your Weibo account is becoming more and more valuable. It's important to strive for a market value of billions."

"You've been running around between two places working overtime during the Spring Festival. It would be much easier for us to just wait."

Jackie Chan was polite again before stating his purpose, "I plan to start filming a new generation of police stories after the New Year, and I'll be the male lead."

"The heroine wants to invite Qin Lan from your company, Mr. Li. Do you know?"

Before this, Li Wenyu had already asked Brother Arong to tell Brother Long that if there was any chance of cooperating with him in the future.

It has to be simple and clear.

If it's someone like Zhang Ziyi who takes the initiative to rush for a big project, Li Wenyu won't force you to do so.

But you can't force it when the male and female actors don't mean to.

There are many people in the circle who are popular with both men and women.

Li Wenyu laughed. "That's easy. When we're both willing, it's a happy collaboration."

This is obviously Qin Lan's chance to play the second female lead.

Jackie Chan wanted to invite Li Jiaxin, but the problem was that Li Jiaxin had rejected his invitation several times in the past ten years. Now she has become popular again and is about to reach the top.

He readily gave up the invitation.

Qin Lan's image is also good.

Jackie Chan laughed, "Then it's a pleasure to work with you. By the way, I heard that you're also training Gao Yuanyuan from your company to be a female action star?"

"Your extreme pros have been preparing for the fight for several months, and she's been practicing boxing for several months as well."

"You might have finished filming my new Police Story by the time it starts filming. The script also has a very interesting female villain."

"If you want her to try it, I welcome it. It's absolutely safe and clean."

Jackie Chan is sometimes extremely brave.

But in normal cooperation projects, when the cooperation is win-win, he will not act recklessly for the sake of project development.

Li Wenyu vaguely understood what role Xiao Gao was assigned. A female thief who partnered with A-Zu? Outstanding, indeed.

He smiled and flicked his cigar. "That's not necessary. I have new plans for Xiao Gao after he finishes filming Extreme Job. This is the schedule conflict."

SARS caused work to be suspended for several months, and many schedules and project progress had to be adjusted.

At the end of the filming of "Extreme Job", Gao Yuanyuan's character was thrown into prison.

With her looks, figure and terrifying skills, she would definitely be the boss in prison.

Are there any action blockbusters in Korea and Europe that follow the same theme of going to prison and then getting out of prison? A magical twist would be a good way to test the waters and explore new tracks.

He is not the King of Sunglasses. Who would practice martial arts for several years just to play a small supporting role?

Jackie Chan smacked his lips in amazement. "The way you film a TV series is truly eye-opening for us. There's so much fanfare before filming, and it's a complete film afterward."

“It was just a whole bunch of people erupting together.”

This is mainly because Samsung wants to sell mobile phones, and it has cooperated with Extreme Jobs, Slumdog Millionaire, etc., and has been promoting it heavily.

Jackie Chan also heard that Yang Mi, a girl from the mainland, should be paid more for starring in TVB projects than many veteran actors in the old TV circle, and even the best actor and best actress.

Boomerang's amazing.

But if you hire someone because of the popularity of Yan Zi after Return of the Condor Heroes, you have to pay enough.

When Jet Li was filming Shaolin Temple, his salary was not as much as that of a supporting actor in Hong Kong Island. But after Shaolin Temple, once Jet was willing to go out on his own, there were many companies that offered him a salary of millions.

These super high-selling films and advertising endorsement fees were all brought about by Samsung.

The question is, if the film explodes in Asia, kills the ratings, and Li Jiaxin promotes Samsung phones, what will happen? This will be another win-win situation for all parties.

This is the era of multi-function phones that can take photos, listen to music, and surf the Internet.
