Entertainment: Starting from child stars

Chapter 691: Sky-high copyright fees for new dramas!!

“How about it?”

When Luo Shao returned to the set, the director immediately asked

“Can.”

Luo Shao told the director the good news.

“That’s good. If it’s possible, then we can show off our skills even more.”

“Haha~” In fact, Luo Shao can also feel the director’s mood.

The director is very satisfied with the scenes of this play. If Medusa’s costume is too revealing and needs to be modified, I’m afraid he will feel uncomfortable.

“As long as it’s a star or a web series, there won’t be any problems with this scale.”

“No, no, don’t go to the stars.”

As soon as I heard that it was going to be broadcast on the star, I had to make changes to the costumes. The director had no reason, so I decided not to do it.

The TV series continued to be filmed, and Luo Shao had to discuss it with the special effects team. The special effects of each episode of the TV series needed to be modified. Make a budget for the funds.

This is not unknown. After doing the calculation, I realized that the budget this time was higher than that of”Douluo”.

Luo Shao, holding his chin, felt even more helpless and complained:”Fantasy drama It’s such a waste of money; if this continues, I’ll have to pay for the diamond ring.”

“Hahaha~” Everyone in the crew burst out laughing.

“Boss, this is really the minimum consumption for the special effects level you want. If it is any lower, you really can’t achieve this level unless you lower the special effects level.”

The supervisor of the special effects team was also very helpless. He was also very stressed.

Luo Shao sighed. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still really upset.

“Just follow this, if you don’t drop it, your space for display has been compressed and you are under great pressure. You don’t need to worry about money. This is what I have to worry about.”

As the boss, Luo Shao told the supervisor not to worry too much.

After going back in the evening, Luo Shao looked at the budget form on the computer. The

72-episode TV series took 7 months to shoot, the crew’s salary, food and accommodation; the director’s salary, The extra actors’ remuneration and the remuneration of all the actors alone are already 100 million.

This TV series uses more extras.

And you have to understand that this 100 million does not include Luo Shao, Dilraba Dilraba, and Li Well, the remuneration of Zhao Lusi, Yang Mi, Guan Xiaotong and others. If we want to change the remuneration, according to Luo Shao’s current TV drama remuneration, it is at least 600,000 per episode; that is 43.2 million; Dilireba has the lowest remuneration

It costs 400,000 per episode, but she does not have a role in the entire 72 episodes of the show, but if it counts 30 episodes, then she will cost 12 million; Li Xi also has about 30 episodes, and the package price is also 10 million. Zhao Lusi’s salary is a little lower, but No matter what, it still costs 5 million; Guan Xiaotong’s net worth is already 300,000, so it costs 9 million. Yang Mi guest-starred in about 15 episodes, and according to her lead female lead’s salary is 600,000 per episode, that also costs 9 million. ; The remuneration for these few of them alone is 88.2 million.

In other words, the total remuneration, wages, food and accommodation for the entire crew will be nearly 200 million.

Post-production, according to the previously calculated budget

《The special effects production of”The Sky” has reached an average of 8 million per episode, and 2 episodes are 576 million.

A TV series requires an investment of 576 million, which is definitely the highest in China.

And this does not include the remuneration of Luo Shao and his girlfriend. If this were included, the total remuneration of the movie would have exceeded 650 million.

“Luo Shao, how are you?”

Li Zheng came to the crew to find Luo Shao

“As usual, you should read the contract first. The cost of the TV series has increased this time.”

“understand.”

Li Zheng has collaborated with Luo Shao so many times, how can he still not know?

As fantasy dramas and science fiction films become more and more good, more and more special effects are used.

In the past two years, prices have increased. It has gone up. How could the cost of special effects not be increased?

“Hey, the cost has risen to 8 million an episode this time? Is it 1 million more episodes than”Douluo 2″?”

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Li Zheng was still taken aback.

“Yes, this fantasy drama uses more special effects.”

When talking about this, Luo Shao couldn’t help but sigh.

“The cost of an episode is 8 million, and the entire 72-episode series is 576 million; how much do you plan to sell it for?”

“Damn it, don’t talk about it if it’s less than 1 billion.”

Luo Shao is also very direct. It is obviously inappropriate to spend 576 million on his own without making a little profit. You know, after deducting 576 million, only 424 million is left, and you have to pay taxes later. After deducting the tax, it is actually not That is to make more than 300 million.

The profit and the investment are not equal. It is a profit to say that it is a profit, but it is definitely not enough to say that it is not a profit.

Of course, this is only the domestic platform copyright fee, and there are also foreign ones.

Foreign ones, selling one country, the salary for one episode is 100,000 US dollars. If it is 72 episodes, it will be more than 4,000 RMB. Selling one country is more than 40 million, and 10 countries is more than 400 million. After all, you can actually make money.

“OK.”

Li Zheng thinks this price is acceptable. The package price of 1 billion is indeed appropriate.

The package price of 1 billion means that the copyright fee for one episode is 11.38 million.

“As usual, let’s pay 50% first, and then the balance will be paid to you after the update is completed?”

“OK.”

Luo Shao was also happy. This is a rule they have established after they have cooperated a lot.

Anyway, the price is clearly stated in the contract, and you can’t break the contract even if you want to.

“When is it specifically planned to be broadcast?”

Li Zheng asked Luo Shao about his plan.

“It’s New Year’s Eve. 72 episodes will be filmed in one go. If it is broadcast on New Year’s Eve, there will be no need for four episodes every week. One episode can be updated every night, so it will be almost updated to April 17th or 18th.”

Luo Shao has planned it, and Li Zheng thinks there is no problem.

It can be broadcast during the Spring Festival. This is also a good idea. It is indeed drinking water.

After signing the contract, Luo Shao also received 5 100 million was transferred.

In fact, everyone knows that these 500 million are basically the production cost of this TV series.

But Li Zheng knows very well that in the later stages, the climax scenes in some TV series, Luo Shao Usually, the special effects will be aggravated. In order to make the special effects more consistent, stunning and shocking, the cost will exceed the original forecast.

Take”Douluo 2″ as an example, the original single episode price is 7 million.

But some are quite shocking. The battle scenes will cost 20 million per episode.

This is Luo Shao’s character. The budget is the budget. But once it is time to produce, he feels that the budgeted cost cannot produce the desired special effects, so he will increase funds. Go in.

Li Zheng understands this about Luo Shao, so he happily follows Luo Shao’s price.

Luo Shao usually doesn’t ask for too much, and will control the price at the limit that Li Zheng can accept., so that Li Zheng would directly agree to sign the contract without negotiating the price.

After getting the money, Luo Shao asked the supervisor of the special effects team to arrange the work, and he would cooperate with the acting.
