Chapter 449 The chicken that lays the golden egg
After continuing to shoot the last two days of filming in France, Jiang Xiao went to the next location, Morocco, with the crew of "Inception" again.
This country is located across from Spain in northern Africa, and its area is not large. Its specialty is the Princess of Morocco.
Well……
Just kidding, when most people mention Morocco, they easily think of the Princess of Morocco.
Probably because of Grace Kelly's fame, she was a Hollywood star before she became the princess. She was indeed very beautiful. She was also good friends with Audrey Hepburn, and she amazed an era at the same time.
Putting aside all this, Jiang Xiao's first feeling when he came to Morocco was that it was hot. It was so hot. It was indeed Africa, and the local temperature must be at least 38 degrees.
Fortunately, he doesn't have many scenes here. He should be able to finish it within three or four days, and then he can leave early and return to China to continue filming "The Empire of Heaven."
In this way, four days passed quickly. Jiang Xiao also successfully finished filming his role with few lines as usual, and then prepared to return to China.
Then Bai Yingzhen, who had had enough traveling for the time being, would return to China with him this time. However, what he didn't expect was that he let Dilraba betray her and told the former that when he was in France, he hung out with Emma Roberts every day.
thing.
I don’t know what Bai Meizi’s attitude was, but she was giving him all kinds of cold looks. She also said that he wanted to change his taste and find a foreign girl to try, but...
He was so excited for a moment that he thought... he was so scumbag.
~~~~~~
After returning to China, Jiang Xiao naturally returned to the crew of "Tongtian Empire" without any delay and continued filming his scenes.
At the same time, the 27th Golden Rooster Awards also announced the shortlist.
Among them, "Partners in China" produced by Lemon Entertainment received several nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, First Featured Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay.
"Witness" was also nominated and received four nominations for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress.
Among them, the nominee for Supporting Actress is Da Tiantian. Regardless of whether she will get it or not, being nominated will at least make her resume look better.
Of course, if you pay attention to the Golden Rooster Awards held every two years, you will find that if Jiang Xiaoshen does not participate, it depends on whether he is free at that time, and it is very likely that he should be filming abroad at that time.
Apart from this matter, in the process of filming "The Empire of Heaven", the entire seasons of "Running Man" and "Three Meals a Day" have also been aired one after another.
Naturally, these two variety shows have achieved very good results. For example, "Three Meals a Day" has an average rating of 4.73, and the highest single episode even broke 5, reaching a rating of 5.21.
If it weren't for the sudden rise of "Running Man", "Three Meals a Day" would definitely be the most popular variety show at the moment.
However, even if it loses, the income brought by "Three Meals a Day" is still gratifying. The total income easily exceeded 100 million, and even reached more than 200 million and almost 300 million.
Although the majority went to Mango Channel and Lemon Entertainment could only get a small share, Mango Channel still had to pay program copyright fees. In fact, for this portion alone, Lemon has already recovered its costs and made a profit.
So in the end Lemon Entertainment still made almost 110 million from "Three Meals a Day", of course, including costs.
The cost was almost more than 30 million, which was nearly three times the cost of the first season.
Mainly, the salaries of the three main guests, Huang Lei, He Jiong, and Sha Yi, have increased a lot. They are 4 million, 4 million, and 2 million respectively, and this one alone is 10 million.
In addition, the guests in each issue, especially those celebrities such as Wanwan and Xiangjiang, basically cost tens or hundreds of thousands, which is also a big expense. This has caused the cost to continue to soar.
It is foreseeable that the production cost of the third season of "Three Meals a Day" will continue to increase.
No matter what, it’s good to make money. The net profit is even nearly 80 million, which is enough to pay for two "China Partners".
Not to mention, you can also develop derivatives and other income in the future, which is believed to be a considerable amount of income. It is not a dream to push the net profit to hundreds of millions of yuan.
After talking about "Three Meals a Day", let's talk about "Running Man", which is the most popular and phenomenal variety show at the moment.
In terms of ratings, it is naturally better than "Three Meals a Day", with the average rating even higher, reaching 5.49.
Among them, Girls' Generation and Jiang Xiao participated in the last two periods, and both even broke 6, reaching 6.07 and 6.35.
Today, when TV programs are becoming more and more developed, it is not the era of "Returning the Pearl". It can achieve a score of over 6. It can only be said that it is absolutely invincible.
Such surprising results naturally brought huge profits.
The total revenue is a little over 200 million, which is actually much less than "Three Meals a Day".
This is mainly because this program is in its first season, and Shu Province Satellite TV has less resources. Although the contract with advertisers is a flexible contract, the higher the ratings, the higher the advertising fee, but there is always a limit.
Therefore, "Run" is obviously more popular than "Three Meals a Day", but its income is not comparable.
By the time we get to the second season, I believe the results will have changed significantly.
Then, the production cost of "Running Man" also cost a lot, which was higher than that of "Three Meals a Day", costing 35 million.
After all, the latter was recorded in a relatively remote place, but the former was recorded in a city, so the cost will naturally be much higher.
Furthermore, just hiring Girls’ Generation cost 500 million won, several million, just for one item.
In addition, there are a lot of main guests. There are seven people in total. In terms of remuneration, Wu Jing received 1.2 million, Deng Chao 2 million, Huang Bo 1.2 million, Wang Baoqiang 1.2 million, Zhang Yisan 500,000, Jing Boran 300,000, and Tianbao also received 300,000.
, seven people totaling 6.7 million.
This was naturally based on reputation, and Jiang Xiao did not offer a high salary just because of Tianbao's relationship with him.
Work is work, and personal relationships are personal relationships. The middle line must be clearly distinguished.
Otherwise, it would be unfair to the other main guests. They are obviously the least famous, so why should they get the highest salary? Of course it is not appropriate.
In private, he can be generous and spend as much as he wants on women, but he must not be indifferent between public and private matters.
All in all, the cost of hiring Girls' Generation, plus the main guest's remuneration, and the flying guest's remuneration, which was very high, such as Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Huang Xiaoming and others all paid a lot, and the production cost was gradually pushed up to 3500.
Ten thousand.
But compared to Mango Channel, Lemon Entertainment received a larger share from Shu TV, so it also made a lot of money, almost 95 million, which is almost as much as the income of "Three Meals a Day".
After deducting the cost, there is still 60 million, plus the 80 million from "Three Meals a Day", the two variety shows have brought 140 million in revenue to Lemon Entertainment.
Regarding such a result, Jiang Xiao can only say that it is really profitable. It is no wonder that there will be so many variety shows in the future, which are just chickens that only lay golden eggs.
Needless to say, the third season of "Three Meals a Day" and the second season of "Running Man" have been booked in advance.
Of course, he doesn't want to look too ugly, so he follows the same rhythm from season to season. He doesn't follow the example of Jiang TV. After "Running Man" became popular, it produced season after season without stopping, basically producing two seasons a year.
If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by above, I'm afraid it would have continued to go crazy.
The rhythm of each season lasts a year to prevent the audience from experiencing appreciation fatigue in a short period of time.
Chapter completed!
