Chapter 75 Invitations and Conditions
"You don't have to worry about losing the price when participating in variety shows recordings, and it's not really asking you to be the host."
Xu Hui looked at Deng Chao who was silent and continued to persuade: "The current variety show is no longer the kind of program that only outdated or unpopular artists are willing to participate in. You have also seen that the program "Where Are We Going, Dad" made those five dads famous..."
“…I think it’s too time-consuming.”
Deng Chao reluctantly gave a reason.
"That's even more okay. The "Running Man" I mentioned is a variety show in the form of seasonal broadcasts. The recording time is basically recorded once a week, and it is not tiring at all. You have also watched creative proposals, and most of them produce laughter through the interaction between guests..."
"I don't understand very much."
Kaikai Wang raised his hand to signal him to have questions.
"What's wrong?"
"Why do I feel like I can't understand this show? Is there anything interesting about tearing up a name tag?"
“… Before "Where Are We Going, Dad?", would anyone think this show will be popular?”
Xu Hui asked back and then explained: "The variety show format in the mainland is still too monotonous and can only be concentrated indoors, but the studio is too restricted, and the audience has long been aesthetically exhausted. It is time to go out!"
"You don't pay much attention to variety shows, so you may not be clear. Korean variety shows have long been the world of outdoor variety shows. On the other hand, the current variety shows can be mentioned in the mainland, except for "Happy Camp", only the variety shows produced by our Huiwen World. Why?"
"It is because we are walking in front of the TV station and we must develop a new variety show before the audience is tired of indoor variety shows. "Running Man" is the focus of our company on variety shows in the next few years. Let's talk about the guests we intend to invite first. You three are all decided by Zeng Xiaoxian in "Love Apartment". Our company may also let Qiao Shan and Xiu Rui brothers participate, and add the hot ones to make up 7 people..."
"Then the investment is not small!"
Wu Jing, who had not spoken, put down the expected design plan for the program in his hand and looked up and asked.
"...Everyone is my own, and I don't hide it from you. The investment is very big. Just every guest has at least five cameras. The minimum configuration of the entire program team must be 50 cameras..."
"Of course, your franchise fee is also very high. Brother Jing and Brother Chao are both eight-digit..."
It's about the key!
"Eight-digit? Is it a season or?"
"Of course it's a season's reward!"
According to Xu Hui, one season is four months, and the eight-digit rewards in four months are pretty good...
In 2010, Internet tycoons had not yet entered the market collectively, and the most important online copyright was not yet legislated to effectively protect online copyright, which really benefited many investors. The investors benefited, and the actors participating in the performance also increased, and their pay rose in this way...
Wu Jing is now the most expensive actor in China. His salary signed with "Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing" is 12 million, and "The Lion King's Battle" is estimated to rise to 18 million...
As for Deng Chao, he is the second male lead in "Huang Feihong", but he is also the second male lead in "The Great Earthquake of the Tang Dynasty" (suppressed the Big Hei Niu), and he is the first male lead in "The Four Famous Captains", and his commercial value and box office appeal are also sufficient, so his film pay has also increased to 6 million.
Don’t think that 6 million is very small. In 2010, Chen Kun’s pay for the same period was 4 million!
As for Kaikai King...
"With such a high pay, how do you make money?"
"Brother Jing, this is a commercial secret..."
Xu Hui smiled and did not continue to say anything.
In fact, the way to make money on variety shows is nothing more than advertising sponsorship.
However, Xu Hui was not going to play like this this time. He wanted to completely separate production and broadcasting, produce and sell it to the TV station. As for how much the TV station can earn, that is their business!
If this thing is not a certain reputation and good connections, it will not be able to play with it.
Currently, there are three TV stations that are interested in purchasing, Mango TV, Zhejiang TV and Shanghai TV, but they all have to wait until the filming is released before quoting...
Wu Jing is not only an actor, he also has a company, so he probably wants to participate.
After all, everyone knows that the variety shows produced by Huiwen Tianxia are a sure profitable deal!
"I mean, can I convert my reward into the cost..."
Wu Jing glanced at Xu Hui a little embarrassedly and explained: "You also know that there is a group of people behind your brother Jing, and I have to support them. It's not okay to make money. And I recently met a girl..."
"…girl? Who is it? Do I know it?"
Xu Hui immediately grasped the point.
He was always a little worried that because of his intervention, would "Wu So-Wei" be harmonious...
Deng Chao and Wang Kai were also interested and stared at Wu Jing.
The latter was a little furious when he was seen and shouted a little angry: "I am almost forty, and I should have considered getting married and having children long ago. What's wrong with chasing a girl?"
"No, Brother Jing, we just want to know who the other party is..."
Xu Hui quickly explained.
"She's name is Xie Nannan, and she is a host..."
“…Sister Nan?”
Xu Hui smiled with relief.
"You know?"
Wu Jing looked at Xu Hui tightly, afraid that he would say something like "know, love" from Xu Hui, or give him something, such as a hat, etc.
"…She has hosted my movie premiere before, and she has met Sisi. She has heard of her very good personality and is quite compatible with Brother Jing!"
Xu Hui pretended not to see the vigilance in Wu Jing's eyes and explained openly.
Alas, it’s not good to have a name for Paohui. You have to be a bad guy to believe that you have an affair with all the actresses!
By the way, Xu Hui is just one thing, and there is always something he can't reach...
"I think it's good, too..."
Wu Jing felt relieved and asked again: "Did you agree to the conditions I mentioned?"
“…Does the remuneration be converted into cost?”
Xu Hui was a little confused.
He knew that "Running Man" was definitely a big profit, and the production fee for a variety show was not much except for celebrity remuneration. Don't look at what Xu Hui said before, "fifty cameras" deliberately exaggerated the cost investment, but compared with celebrity remuneration, this thing really only accounts for less than 30%!
If you really agree to Wu Jing’s conditions and calculate the profit ratio based on the remuneration, then will your "Running Man" become a job?
"…Brother Jing, to be honest, I am only responsible for passing messages and inviting guests. When it comes to money, you need to talk to Zhang Yibin in person. After all, she is the person in charge and the director."
Xu Hui did not agree directly. Although he admired Wu Jing's courage, it involved money. After all, it was a real benefit.
"Okay, I'll ask the agent to contact her directly then!"
Wu Jing sighed, how could he not hear the meaning of Xu Hui's words?
"I'd better get paid honestly."
Xu Hui looked at Deng Chao with his eyes, and the latter smiled bitterly. He didn't want to take risks. He couldn't tell whether the "tearing up the name tag" could work. He always felt that the game set up by the program was too naive...
"I'll follow the company's arrangements."
King Kaikai has always been obedient, and Xu Hui smiled.
The two biggest guests were almost done, and the purpose of this trip was also solved. When they got up, they had to say goodbye. At this moment, Xu Hui's cell phone rang, and it was Chen Sangsang called.
Chapter completed!
