In addition to the online copyright of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" sold to iQiyi for 40 million, the more important thing is the income from traditional channels.

And this time Lemon and Shu TV have reached a sharing agreement, which is not a simple copyright transaction, but a combination between the two.

To be more specific, the copyright price for a single episode does not exceed 2 million, plus a 35% share of advertising fees.

The reason why it is said here that the copyright price for a single episode does not exceed 1.8 million, but it is a gambling agreement. In short, it is based on the ratings.

If it fails and cannot even break through the 1-point ratings, it can only be sold at the lowest price and will not get any advertising share.

After all, if the ratings are too bad, there won't be much advertising revenue.

On the contrary, if the ratings are good, as long as the average ratings exceed 2.8 points, you can get the highest level of income.

Nowadays, the average ratings of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" are not far from 4 points, and it is self-evident that Lemon will get that level of income.

Equivalent to the transaction price in terms of copyright alone, 1.8 million for one episode, a total of 40 episodes, a revenue of 72 million.

The advertising share also far exceeded expectations. First of all, the total advertising revenue was 266 million yuan.

It's a surprising statistic, but it's not that surprising, after all, the ratings of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" are so good.

Moreover, there are ways to cover advertising fees, including commercial breaks, sponsorship ads, pre-roll ads, and even LOGOs. With the development of the TV industry, this business has become very mature.

In addition, viewers may not have imagined that the price of advertisements on the day when a popular drama is about to end will be different and will be auctioned.

For example, this time "Step by Step" was sold for 15 million, and it was just an advertisement.

Therefore, behind a successful TV series, there are often huge interests.

In short, this time "Step" can be divided into 35% of the total advertising revenue, which is approximately 93.1 million yuan.

In addition to the 72 million yuan in copyright income, the total income reached 165 million yuan.

Don’t forget, there are still 40 million in online copyrights, pushing the total revenue to 205 million again.

Then, the cost of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is not low, since it is a costume drama after all, but it is not particularly high either. It is estimated to be 1.2 million episodes per episode, with a total of 38 episodes, which cost almost 45.5 million.

Don’t be surprised why 40 episodes were sold but only 38 were filmed. They were all edited out, which is standard practice in the industry.

Lemon was kind enough to just cut two more episodes, which would not affect the rhythm of the show during its broadcast.

In the final calculation, the revenue of 205 million yuan was subtracted from the production cost of 45.5 million yuan and the publicity fee of 300 yuan, leaving 157 million yuan.

However, this amount will not go to Lemon alone. After all, Tang Ren also participated in "Step by Step Scary Heart", accounting for 30%, which means that about 47 million will be divided out.

Tang Ren and Cai Yinong probably laughed so hard that they made nearly 50 million.

Not to mention that there are still second and third rounds of income. This aspect may be affected by the sale of online copyrights, but it is still a piece of meat, and it is estimated to be around 25 million to 30 million.

Of course, Cai Yinong knows how to have fun, and Lemon knows how to have fun even more. He has a profit of more than 100 million yuan.

Therefore, Jiang Xiao also plans to hold a celebration banquet to thank all the crew members for their efforts and give out red envelopes and so on.

Regardless of whether it is about buying people's hearts or not...it is actually about buying people's hearts, which is what it should be.

However, this matter still needed time to prepare, and Jiang Xiao, who had just returned to China, unexpectedly received a call from Feng Xiaogang.

The next morning, he saw the latter in a business club, and immediately spoke up: "Director Feng, congratulations, the box office of "Phoenix Earthquake" has exceeded 600 million.

Yuan, it can be regarded as setting a new high in the history of domestic films in the mainland."

"Thank you, thank you. Come on, Jiang Xiao, you sit down first."

Feng Xiaogang, who laughed out loud, was obviously in a good mood, so he invited Jiang Xiao to sit down.

And "Phoenix Earthquake", which was released just one month ago, did give him an unexpected surprise. He never expected that it would have a box office of more than 600 million.

At least in China, there is no director who can have such achievements as him. Feng Xiaogang is the first person in business and he is confident.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao himself naturally sat down without any hesitation.

Afterwards, just when he was about to ask Feng Xiaogang straight to the point what he wanted to do with him, the other party took the initiative and said, "Speaking of which, I was looking for you to participate in "Phoenix City Earthquake", but in the end I decided

It’s a pity that I just gave up on it because I didn’t find a particularly suitable role.”

"But I have a new movie to start filming soon, which just makes up for my regrets. That's why I came to see you today. Jiang Xiao, what do you think?"

"Really? Director Feng really doesn't relax at all. Okay, of course I am willing to cooperate with Director Feng."

Feng Xiaogang had let him star in "The Night Banquet" against all objections. Even though the movie was not very successful, he still wanted to remember this favor.

So after thinking about it for a moment, he nodded sharply, at least showing his attitude first.

"I am a happy person, so let me first tell you about this new movie. It is actually the second part of "If You Are the One". Speaking of which, you originally gave me this script, and now I have hired Wang Shuo to write it together.

A sequel script.”

"Then the character you are going to play is named Li Xiangshan, Ge You's best friend in the movie. He suffered from cancer and held a memorial service for himself while he was still alive."

"That's probably it. It's not too much of a role, it's just a special appearance."

In one breath, Feng Xiaogang explained the cause and effect.

"Oh, the sequel to "If You Are the One", okay, I have no problem here."

Jiang Xiao, who was slightly surprised, nodded without too much hesitation.

It seems that even with his intervention, some things will go back to their original path.

In fact, it is not surprising that the first "If You Are the One" achieved a very good box office and made Huayi a huge profit. Under such circumstances, it is logical to develop a sequel.

In addition, although Jiang Xiao does not know whether Wang Shuo participated in the screenwriting of "If You Are the One 2" in his memory, the name of the character Li Xiangshan and the similar plot all prove that the two are very similar.

A small accident was a small accident. He had already said what he said before, and he couldn't slap himself in the face.

Moreover, this movie stars Da Meiyuan, so if you participate, please participate.

It is estimated that Feng Xiaogang also considered his current status as a celebrity and gave him the title of special star.

In fact, Jiang Xiao himself really doesn't think so much about it. If he doesn't play a non-protagonist, it mainly depends on his personal wishes.

Or, in other words, factors such as human feelings.

I have never seen a certain "King of Bad Movies" who often uses this trick to get many big stars in Hong Kong to participate in the filming of his works.

Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, etc. are not all like this.

"Okay, then we will have a happy cooperation!"

Jiang Xiao was so straightforward, and Feng Xiaogang was naturally happy to do so.

At the same time, it was also explained that the other person is indeed a very good person, and he will not know his last name after becoming famous.

“A pleasure to work with!”

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao also picked up the cup of coffee that had just been delivered and made a gesture.

Of course, the matter was settled quickly, and he did not just leave. Instead, he chatted with Feng Xiaogang for a long time, and then left the business club almost two hours later.

During this period, Jiang Xiao also confirmed that he would not join the set to participate in the filming immediately. After all, he is only a supporting role. When there is no filming, he will definitely not go to the set to stay.

But it just so happens that after more than a year, there is finally news about "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire".

Moreover, it has been shortlisted for the main competition of this year's Venice Film Festival. There is no expectation of winning the award, but it can be used to build momentum and promote things.

At the same time, "Detective Dee: The Empire" will have its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, specifically on September 5th.

Jiang Xiao, the male lead, will inevitably make a trip.

Lemon also partially participated in the financing of this movie, so it is appropriate to provide some snacks.

The release date of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" is scheduled for the 29th at the end of September, preparing for the National Day release.

This schedule is really driven by Lemon's works and has become a very important schedule.

For example, this year, there are many movies that have attracted much attention and will compete together.

For example, Wu Yushen's "Sword Rain" is the first to bear the brunt.

The cast of this movie is also very strong, including Yang Ziqiong, Da S, Shawn Yue, Lin Xilei, Guo Xiaodong, etc.

I feel like the choice of the male lead was a mistake, a Korean actor, Jung Woo-sung.

Although the other party is a capable actor, he is not well-known in China after all.

In addition, although many people seem to think that the director of "Sword Rain" is Wu Yushen, in fact, this is not the case. The other party only supervised the production, and the director was someone else, an unknown director named Su Zhaobing.

Director Wu's aura was so strong that it directly illuminated Su Zhaobing until he lost much of his presence.

It is estimated that the film crew wanted to take advantage of Wu Yushen's influence, so they acted like this.

In addition, "Fist of Fury" and "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" will also be released during the National Day period.

Needless to say about the former, after the two "Ip Man" movies, Donnie Yen became more and more aggressive... Well, he became popular and received a lot of attention.

The latter will obviously receive a lot of attention once Zhang Yimou's name is mentioned.

However, Jiang Xiao doesn't have too much pressure. Apart from the action in "Sword Rain", which is quite stylish, other aspects are just average. It can be described as "a murder caused by a steamed bun".

Of course, in this plot that leads to "The Promise", the word "Steamed Bun" needs to be replaced, and the unit of measurement must also be changed. What to replace it with, you will suddenly understand after watching the movie.

The other "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" is a literary film and will be released in the middle of the month. Even if it has an impact, it will not be big.

In the end, "Fist of Fury" was basically the biggest competitor, but in my memory, "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" was clearly the biggest winner.
To be continued...
