"Do we still have income?"
Mu Ming was stunned for a moment by what Du Yang said.
How does he remember that he has spent money for more than half a year, where did he get his income?
""The Legend of Lu Zhen, have you forgotten?"
Du Yang reminded.
"Ah......"
Mu Ming suddenly forgot that she really forgot: "This, sold it?"
Mango Terrace?
"With such a long-term cooperation between Yu Zheng and Mango Channel, it is generally sold to Mango.
"Yes."
Du Yang nodded: "Mango bought, a total of forty-five episodes, one episode sold for 500,000." ” "Half a million?"
Mu Ming calculated in her heart.
No, one episode is 500,000, and the total of 45 episodes is only more than 22 million.
But in this drama, the investment of the Mizuki family alone is almost 20 million, isn't this a loss?
"Can you hear me out?"
Faced with Mu Ming's confusion, Du Yang said helplessly.
Because of the policy of "one drama and two stars", the first round of TV dramas can only appear on two satellite TV platforms, and "The Legend of Lu Zhen" was bought by Mango Channel for the first round of exclusive broadcasting.
However, in the second and third rounds of broadcasting after the first round of broadcasting, there is no limit on the number of satellite TV platforms.
In other words, what the first round of broadcast wants is to make a drama famous, and the real money depends on the purchase price of the second and third rounds of broadcasting.
Even, after a rebroadcast on the platform in the first round, the second replay also has to buy the broadcast rights.
"Also, do you think the real profit is on the TV station?"
Du Yang smiled, picked up a document and handed it to Mu Ming: "Mango Channel bought a satellite TV exclusive, and Penguin Video bought the whole network exclusive."
These Internet bigwigs are much more generous than TV stations. ” Mu Ming took the document and said as she flipped through it: "Definitely, these richest people in China, except for those who are engaged in real estate, are all engaged in the Internet."
I'll see how much money the penguins make......
One and two million?
An episode?
Are they crazy?
” Although Mu Ming was prepared, she was still taken aback by this price.
One episode is 1.2 million, and the whole drama is 54 million.
And that's just the purchase price, not the traffic share.
Mu Ming remembered the popular "The Legend of Zhen Huan" at the beginning of the year, which was still one million episodes at that time.
"The Legend of Lu Zhen" is definitely one level lower than "The Legend of Zhen Huan", according to the price at that time, that is, about seventy to eighty.
As a result, it has only been half a year, and the price has risen by fifty percent, which shows the madness of these video sites throwing money.
In fact, the funding war between video sites began last year. 11 years ago, the famous video sites in China were Youku, Tudou, PPS, Storm Video or something.
Most of the TV dramas are purchased after the TV station is broadcast, and most of the videos on the website are mainly videos uploaded by users themselves.
However, since 11 years later, video websites such as Soarc Video, Aiqiyi, Penguin Video have made efforts and invested a large amount of money to purchase the copyright of film and television works, making the content providers of video websites change from individual users to film and television producers.
Along with this, the price of online copyright of film and television works has been rising.
From two or three hundred thousand episodes at the beginning of 11 years, to one million episodes in 12 years, until a few years later, the price of a high-traffic TV series will often start at 100 million.
And with the rise in the price of TV dramas, it is not the production cost of the drama itself, but the remuneration of actors, especially high-traffic actors.
After all, the cost of watching TV series is free - a membership of more than a dozen yuan a month is really not a cost - the audience can choose their favorite plot at the same time, but also support their favorite stars.
The plot is not funny, but the stars are pleased.
If you have a star, you will have traffic, if you have traffic, you will have income, and if you have income, you can invite bigger stars.
In such a cycle, of course, the actor's salary is comparable to the general rise in housing prices.
If you compare the actor's salary with the housing price, will you feel better?
Think about how hard they have to work hard for a year to buy a house in the Fifth Ring Road......

Well, it doesn't feel good at all, I want to cry!
The total revenue of Mango TV and Penguin is nearly 80 million, which has already earned back the cost, and there can be more than 10 million profits.
Of course, the money still needs to be redistributed by several investors, and what Mizuki can get is less than 30 million.
However, with more than 20 million, plus the remaining funds of the studio, it is enough to cope with the production investment of "Shanshan is Coming" and "Chinese Partner".
As for the publicity and distribution costs after that, calculate the time, the box office share of "Thai Embarrassment" at that time was about the same, and it would not be delayed at all.
But......
"Your timing of the flow of funds is too carefully calculated."
Mu Ming put the documents back on the table: "It always gives me the feeling that I will tear down the east wall and make up the west wall." ” "There's no way, the studio's funds are so much, you, the boss, are still picking big projects to do, if you don't plan carefully, the capital chain will be broken long ago."
Du Yang rolled his eyes and said with some opinion.
"Also, there are some issues with the studio's current money management.
For the first few months, the money had been on the books and had not been touched, and now it has to be all started to flow.
To be honest, I'm not very good at money management, we need a professional.
Du Yang Zhengse's words.
"Treasury management talents?"
Mu Ming bit her lip and thought about it.
Du Yang understands that the normal development of enterprise funds should maintain a dynamic balance between expenditure and income.
Instead of being like Mizuki, when there is no project, the funds are put on the books to hibernate, and when there are projects, the books are basically empty.
Also, at present, Mizuki doesn't have much of himself, so it's no problem to invest in SH all of them in film and television works.
However, the development speed of film and television projects is limited, and after the scale of Shuimu expands a little, it is inevitable that it will not be possible to just focus on film and television, and related upstream and downstream industries need to participate.
At that time, it is even more necessary to have someone who is responsible for the investment and management of funds.
The studio's financial director......
I do know a suitable person, but I don't know if she wants to.
Mu Ming said hesitantly.
"Would you like to, let's get in touch with it first?
Who is it?
Du Yang asked curiously.
"Mizuki's previous fund management, I always asked PricewaterhouseCoopers to supervise it, you know."
PricewaterhouseCoopers is one of the four major international accounting firms, and when Mizuki did not have its own financial department, Mu Ming hired a professional accountant from PricewaterhouseCoopers to be responsible for the studio's income and expenditure, taxes and other financial issues.
"I know."
Du Yang nodded.
"They have a vice president of administration named Li Juan, and I've been in contact with them a few times.
She is quite interested in the film and television entertainment industry, and she is quite capable in terms of capital investment, and I think it would be good if she could be hired as our financial director.
Mu Ming said.
"Wait."
Du Yang said puzzledly: "The administrative vice president of PricewaterhouseCoopers?
How many times have I been in contact with you?
How did you get rid of it?
"The vice president of administration and the financial business are not too closely linked.
"Didn't I say it, she's very interested in the film and television entertainment industry.
Moreover, it is just a simple understanding.
Mu Ming pursed her lips and explained seemingly sincerely.
