In fact, it was not only Cheng Kun who was dumbfounded, but not only the industry, but also the general public who was dumbfounded.
Even Shen Yue, Tengxin Video and Tianhai were a little dumbfounded.
"So what kind of monster TV series did I introduce?" Shen Yue murmured.
After being dumbfounded by Tencent Video, of course, he was excited. The senior management also specially held a celebration meeting for the TV series "Together".
At the meeting, the director of Tencent Video specifically praised Shen Yue, not only for her verbal performance, but also doubled her bonus based on the previous agreement. It made others almost drool with envy.
Oh my god! Shen Yue's year-end bonus was already high, almost 200,000 a year, doubled to 400,000, tripled to 800,000!
Can you not be envious?
But there's nothing I can do about envy. Who can make people discern and have such courage?
If Shen Yue had not strongly recommended it and issued a military order, Tencent Video would not have spent 800,000 per episode to introduce a TV series that has already been broadcast on Shangxing TV for two rounds.
At the same time, Tencent Video will not explode in popularity, with the number of users increasing by more than 6 million.
Yes, because only Tencent Video has the online broadcast rights of "Welcome to School Together", this TV series actually attracted more than 6 million new users to Tencent Video.
Not only that, due to the popularity of "Born Together", the advertising space for this TV series has long been sold out. Not only did it pay back, it also helped Tencent Video earn 30 million.
This is the reason why Shen Yue's bonus doubled again.
As for Tianhai, Li Tao was a little dumbfounded when he saw the number of plays of "Staying Together" on Tencent Video.
He had negotiated with Tencent Video about cooperating with the webcast of this TV series. If he had known that the webcast of this TV series could still get such a high number of views, he would not have been able to sell it so cheaply. Let alone 800,000 per episode, you have to consider 1.2 million per episode.
For this reason, Li Tao even took the blame himself. During the meeting with Wang Xuan and Zhu Xu, he kept saying bluntly that it was "my fault."
Zhu Xu and Wang Xuan smiled.
"I don't blame you, didn't I expect that "Welcome to School Together" could get such a high on-demand volume online?" Zhu Xu explained.
"Brother Tao, you don't need to blame yourself. We, Tianhai, have already made enough money from this TV series. We have earned a lot of fame and fortune, so we don't need to care about that. Anyway, the main thing we want from this TV series is to gain fame. Now we have already The goal was exceeded," Wang Xuan said.
Li Tao nodded when he heard this, and his annoyance subsided a lot. In fact, Tianhai really made a lot of money from the TV series "Staying Together". Not to mention fame and fortune, several of the leading actors have gained a lot of popularity.
For example, Yu Ming, who plays Ren Yifan, has 3 million followers on Weibo. A complete newcomer has gained 2 million Weibo fans in just one TV series, which is really impressive.
Since Tianhai has not had any filming tasks recently, Yu Ming has also received many invitations from foreign film and television dramas. After his agent reported to the company, he accepted a TV drama.
The role is still the male lead. Of course, the pay will definitely not be too high. When a TV series is filmed, the salary is only a few million.
Xiao Jincheng, who plays Xiao Haiyang, has also gained a lot of fans due to his sunny, handsome and righteous image, and his Weibo following is about the same as Yu Ming's. Recently, Xiao Jincheng has also received two or three film and television drama invitations. He is the second male lead in the movie and the first male lead in the TV series. After reporting to the company and discussing with Li Tao, his agent accepted the movie script.
Similarly, due to his position as a star, Xiao Jincheng's salary is definitely not high. Even if he takes the second male lead, a salary of 3 million is not bad. But what Xiao Jincheng wants now is not remuneration, but fame and exposure.
Once your fame increases, why worry about your salary not increasing?
Several other leading actors also received invitations to some film and television dramas, and after discussing with the company, they selectively accepted one or two.
Wang Xuan didn't put many restrictions on their invitations to accept such foreign film and television dramas. The only requirement was that the script couldn't be a bad script, the characters had to be good, and they couldn't accept some scripts just for the sake of bad money.
For example, Li Jianing, who plays Lin Luoxue, received two offers. One was to play the leading role in a film and television drama. The salary was very high, more than 8 million, but she was just a role in the script and could not leave the audience at all. He was deeply impressed and was pushed away by Wang Xuan.
On the contrary, it was another movie with a salary of only 1 million, and the role was only the second female lead, but Wang Xuan asked Li Jianing to take it. No other, the script is excellent. Although the role is the second female lead, she has a lot of roles in the play, which is very challenging. If she plays it well, she can even compete with the lead female lead and leave a very deep impression on the audience. , and you can also hone your acting skills.
Wang Xuan doesn't need Li Jianing and others to make money for Tianhai now. Their status is too low and they can't make much money now. He also hopes that Li Jianing and others can hone their acting skills in film and television dramas.
When their acting skills reach a certain level, Wang Xuan is creating some film and television dramas tailored for them, so why worry about their reputation not rising? It would not be too late for them to make money for Tianhai at that time.
Just like Zhang Yaxin and others, Wang Xuan doesn't have high requirements for them now. They don't need them to attend commercial performances all day, accept endorsement ads, and make money for Tianhai.
Of course, Wang Xuan does not prevent Zhang Yaxin and others from accepting commercial performances and endorsements, because the latter also want to make money. But Wang Xuan will restrict them. They can accept commercial performances and endorsements, but they cannot affect their own image, let alone the company's image.
Wang Xuan also hopes that Zhang Yaxin and others can enrich themselves and improve their singing skills. When their singing skills improve and Wang Xuan creates a series of songs tailored for them, why worry about not being able to gain fame or making money?
Isn’t Zhang Yaxin’s popularity now about to reach the level of a second-tier singer? Commercial acting endorsements have long been priced according to the standards of second-tier artists.
Having said that, on the 21st, the semi-finals of "The King of Masked Singer" were broadcast.
Netizens have high expectations for the semi-finals of "The King of Masked Singer". Even before it airs, there has been a huge discussion on the Internet.
"Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and finally looking forward to the semi-finals of "The King of Masked Singer"."
"It's been a month. Do you know how I got here this month?"
"No, didn't the "King of Masked Singer" program release the behind-the-scenes before the semi-finals a few days ago? I watched the behind-the-scenes at least five times to quench my thirst."
"One thing to say, that episode was really well shot. The scene where Boss White Tiger and Phoenix and others met again and teased each other was so funny."
"SM Phoenix, haha!"
"By the way, there are two places to advance to the finals in this semi-final. Who do you think can advance?"
"Big White Tiger will definitely have one. It's hard to say for the other one. Phoenix, Suzaku, Yama, and King Lanling all have a chance."
"King Lanling, maybe. King Lanling is too strong. Although he is a little arrogant, he does have the qualifications to be arrogant. Except for the white tiger boss, I feel that no one can check and balance him."
"Yes, I also feel that it is King Lanling. I feel that King Lanling is even more powerful than Qinglong, Black Swan and Enchantress who have already entered the finals."
"Did you forget Erha upstairs? Erha has also entered the finals."
"So what? Although Erha is also capable, he should be the weakest among Qinglong, Enchantress, Black Swan and others. Winning the King of Singers that time was considered an extraordinary performance. You still expect him to perform exceptionally every time. Can’t do it?”
"Indeed, Erha should be stronger than Phoenix, Suzaku, and Yama, but weaker than Qinglong and others."
"Erha is stronger than Yama? That's not even possible. I feel that Yama is quite strong."
"Come on, how strong can Yama be? He is so strong, can he not even win the Singing King once?"
"Don't talk too much upstairs. There is a rumor here that Yama Luo is a great singer, but the stage of "The Masked Singer" is too restrictive for him, and he has been unable to show his strength."
"I heard that the songs Mr. Baihu sang on stage this time were all Cantonese songs. Very awesome Cantonese songs."
...
Amid this discussion, the semi-finals of "The King of Masked Singer" were finally broadcast.
