China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 296 How to make accurate minefield dance

"cheers!"

In the private room, Cao Xuan bumped into other top executives of Fanxing, as well as some of the main creators of "The Family of Gold Fans".

The finale of "The Family of Gold Fans" achieved outstanding results and is expected to hit the annual ratings champion. Fanxing made a good start in 2002.

What's more, the super high ratings of "Golden Fan Family" have made considerable follow-up income. Both Jingcheng TV and Hunan TV are planning to spend a lot of money to buy the second round of broadcasting rights, and it is expected to export to Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas regions.

Including the previous first-round broadcast rights + pre-roll ads, the total revenue of "Golden Fan Family" reached more than 5000 million, and the net profit was guaranteed to be no less than 3500 million.

Since Fanxing was founded on November 1997, 11, the company has been excited about the largest single project profit.

And this is only the income mentioned on the surface, there are many hidden benefits, such as the popularity and commercial value of several leading actors have increased significantly.

The most obvious one is Dong Xuan. Her salary was very little before, but now she doesn't have to speak up for less than 50 yuan.

Not to mention Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, Cao Xuan's reputation is too great, and he is capital, so he can't be calculated in a single way, and Hu Jing, who has just been officially promoted to the fourth female role, has already raised her salary to more than 200 million yuan.

This is just a conservative estimate. As one of the top performers in the entertainment industry, Hu Jing has a lot of room to tap into her commercial value and potential.

The so-called 200 million film salary is just a reference, and it may not be true when negotiating the price.

Some may be as high as 200 million, and some may take the initiative to lower a part, 150 million, 100 million, or even lower, depending on the specific situation.

For example, in the movie "The Unruly Princess", Hu Jing's salary is only 150 million + 50 red envelopes, and the latter will only be given when she reaches a certain ratings score.

It's not Cao Xuan's pick, it's the rule in the industry. "The Dirty Princess" can be said to be a play tailored by Fan Xing for Hu Jing.

The same is true for Dong Xuan. The "Snowflake Goddess and Dragon" behind her is also specially used by the company to promote her. The film salary is about 6% to 8% of the market price.

The general boss may lower the price even lower, Cao Xuan is not bad, not only the price is not so ruthless, but also a red envelope clause is given.

If the company makes money, the company will make up the remuneration, or even add some bonuses.

But if the company isn't making money, then there's no need to discuss it.

Of course, this is only limited to the drama inside Fanxing.

If it's going out to pick up a show, then unless the book is particularly good, it's purely from a commercial point of view, and the price can be as high as possible.

This is even the case for Fanxing's cooperation dramas, because it is not Fanxing's family who pays for it. In terms of business, there may be a small discount but not too low. After all, Fanxing also gets a share of the actors' remuneration.

Aside from actors, there is actually a bigger advantage that Fanxing drama has gained fame.

Although it can't be compared with the so-called Qiongyao drama, Haiyan drama, and Jin Yong drama for the time being, it can be regarded as a small name.

Fanxing dramas are selling better than before, and at a higher price. This is the biggest benefit that the drama "Golden Fan Family" brings to Fanxing.

"The Dirty Princess" has already been watched by several TV stations, not to mention "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", there are people calling every three days, wanting to eat this big piece of fat.

Even the release of the previous "Armor Warrior" was not so smooth, and now there are some prospects, and it is hoped that it will land on CCTV Children's Channel and a local station.

However, the other party's funds are limited, and Fanxing is not very satisfied with the price given, so now I plan to replace a little advertising time to operate.

But no matter what, Cao Xuan hired Cao Shangfei and invited relevant personnel to hold an internal celebration party.

After clinking glasses, Cao Xuan realized the meaning, and put the wine aside, but he couldn't stop other people from coming over to toast and get close.

Fanxing's internal staff is nothing more than Fanxing's employees. Many of the main creators of "The Family of Gold Fans" who are not Fanxing's employees want to take the opportunity to show off their faces. If they are valued and signed to Fanxing, they will make a lot of money.

Cao Xuan used tea instead of wine, managed to deal with some people, and then took the time to withdraw from the box.

Flying on the Grass has only four private rooms. It is definitely not just a private restaurant, but also has certain leisure function areas, including but not limited to chess and card rooms, lounges, tea rooms, study rooms, etc., for guests to wait, meet and rest.

As the boss, Cao Xuan has an independent private study, which can be regarded as his flying office.

Flying on the Grass is in Chinese classical style as a whole, and the decoration of the study is also antique and elegant.

Cao Xuan came in to hide the wine, the waiter saw it, and immediately came in for him to light sandalwood for the study.

"Forget about the fragrance, help me call President Li and Vice President Jiang."

Under normal circumstances, Cao Xuan is not particularly keen on this kind of Chinese classical style, but when he came to this study, he was infected by the environment, and he still couldn't help taking out two walnut plates from the drawer to play with.

He actually didn't understand this thing, he played it very wildly, and even seemed to stumble and break it a little bit.

Cao Xuan also planned to go back and find someone to get a pair of pure copper walnuts, which are not afraid of being knocked or touched, and they are strong when coiled, and can be used as hidden weapons at critical moments.

Of course, pure gold is better, but although Cao Xuan is not afraid of stealing or wearing and tearing, the most important thing is that gold has a high density, which makes your hands tired...

Just as Cao Xuan was thinking about it, a few top executives from Fanxing came in. The general manager Li Yan's face was already flushed, and most of the others were also slightly drunk.

No way, there were only a few high-level executives in total, and everyone gathered around to toast. Cao Xuan protected his throat and refused to drink. They may not have a good reason, and the boss has already stopped drinking.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan asked the waiter to pour a few cups of tea or honey water to sober up a few people, and then got down to business.

The English EP will be released soon, and he will leave for the United States soon, and he may not be able to return for more than a month. The company needs to explain clearly.

In fact, there is not much to explain. All kinds of film and television productions are done step by step. What we really need to do is to cooperate with Cao Xuan's propaganda.

This time Cao Xuan entered the European and American music scene, and there were many jokes.

Although Cao Xuan himself was not sure whether he would succeed, but with three Wang Zha songs in hand, he was somewhat confident.

Since there is a possibility of success, it is necessary to make preparations for follow-up campaigns. Otherwise, if it becomes popular and the domestic side cannot keep up with the publicity, it will be passive.

Cao Xuan originally thought that it would take more effort to convince the Fanxing executives to pay attention to this matter, but unexpectedly, he still underestimated his influence in the company.

Although Cao Xuan considered himself a third-rate businessman, it took him less than five years to build Fanxing from a grassroots team to a first-class entertainment company in the Mainland.

Cao Xuan's precise vision for film and television production, continuous success in business operations, and outstanding performance in the music world.

Let many high-ranking stars have almost fanatical admiration and confidence in him.

Others don't believe that Cao Xuan will succeed in the European and American music scene, and even Cao Xuan himself is a little hesitant, but everyone firmly believes that Cao Xuan will definitely be able to.

Of course, it is not without calm people. For example, Li Yan, the general manager who has just joined the company, has not been brainwashed yet, but under the general situation, he dare not say anything, and obeys orders honestly.

When he first became the general manager of Fanxing, Li Yan also thought about making big plans and leading the company to become bigger and stronger, to glory, but soon he realized that Fanxing was all about Cao Xuan.

Everyone in the company, especially the old man, trusted Cao Xuan very much and almost obeyed.

In less than a month, Li Yan completely stopped thinking about being the boss, and became his own big housekeeper. He knew very well that if he dared to stab him, Cao Xuan could take him out of the way with a single word, and he would be gone within three days. .

In fact, after more than half a year of getting along and working together, Li Yan now admires Cao Xuan somewhat, but he has not yet brainwashed him and has his own judgment ability.

It was precisely because of this that Cao Xuan gave Li Yan a high look. After all, he had a strong and obedient subordinate who could remind him sometimes.

More importantly, although Li Yan has his own judgment, as long as Cao Xuan gives an order, even if he disagrees, he will strictly implement it.

Apart from being a little timid and following the crowd, there are almost no major shortcomings.

After discussing it and making some arrangements, Cao Xuan also specially asked Jiang Yue to collect some American customs for herself.

This is also Cao Xuan's habit every time he goes abroad. To understand the local situation, you don't need to be too detailed. You need at least common sense to avoid stepping on thunder.

For example, black people in the United States are more taboo to ask "your father's name" and watermelon + fried chicken.

Needless to say, the former is racial talent, and the latter is because of black/slave period, watermelon + fried chicken is the classic meal configuration of many black/slave.

Mentioning this in front of black Americans is equivalent to telling the Jews that the Germans are awesome, and telling the French that white is the most beautiful color in the world, which can be called a minefield.

But how do ordinary Chinese people know this? After eating fried chicken happily, how good it is to have a piece of watermelon to relieve the greasy.

It was originally a good intention, but it turned out to be misunderstood by others, and when I met someone with a bad temper, I might just shoot and shoot...

Therefore, before going abroad, it is necessary to do some common sense understanding.

Fortunately, there are not many things that the United States needs to pay attention to at this stage.

You can’t mention 911, at least you can’t talk with a smile like in China, and you don’t touch race, religion, politics, etc.

As long as you avoid a few big restricted areas, the rest is relatively free.

Unlike a few decades later, women's rights, animal protection, environmental protection, obesity, mentality, transgender, race, male and female, female and female, can be male or female...

That buff is stacked, and writing a few professional papers is enough. Everyone in the public figures in the United States is in danger, and if they say something wrong, they will be hung up and scolded.

Under the bewilderment, even Snow White and the mermaid changed color.

Cao Xuan only wanted to make money steadily, and he didn't have the heart to get involved in the dirty things in the United States. Whether it was producing records or making movies, he only wanted to make money, and ignored everything else.

Of course, if there is a chance, without affecting his personal safety, he still wants to stir up trouble...
