Chapter 748 The Problem Is Coming
Chapter 748
Walking to the door leading to the backyard, Cindy Crawford turned her head and glanced. Eric and Terry Semel had already chatted, and then pushed the door and walked out.
As it approached noon, the late autumn sunshine filled the wide manor. The temperature at the end of October had dropped to below 2o degrees, and even the sunshine seemed to be pale because of the drop in temperature. Although the lawn in the yard and the surrounding shrubs used as a fence are all evergreens, dead leaves are also appearing at this time, and it is no longer so lively.
Although Cindy doesn't like this cold environment, but when looking at it, the autumn sky looks very low, and behind a few white clouds is a breathtaking blue. To the horizon, this open mood makes people feel at ease, Cindy can't help stretching her body lazily, and asks Joanna where she is going to the maid who is cleaning dead leaves by the fence. On the lawn, I walked towards the place where a few fiery red maple trees grew near the sea.
Joanna is sitting under the fiery red maple tree, with a thick booklet on her lap, surrounded by two small figures, who seem to be collecting maple leaves.
Seeing Cindy approaching, Joanna waved to her with a smile, then took a maple leaf handed over by Kevin, patiently commented on the little guy in a low voice, and then put it in the booklet on her lap.
It was less than eleven o'clock, and Cindy didn't rush to tell Eric's order. Looking at the thick maple leaves on the ground, she sat down next to Joanna and said, "These maple trees are so beautiful. , um, it's a maple tree, doesn't it feel like the trunk is different from what I've seen before?"
Joanna nodded, pointed to several holes in the tree trunk, and said, "It's sugar maple. You can take the sap to make maple syrup in spring."
"Oh, so this is the sugar maple," Cindy suddenly looked at the small holes in the tree trunk. Maple syrup has very low sugar content and is not easy to make people fat. It is a very favorite food for women. She eats it often. At this time, it is the first time to recognize the sugar maple tree that produces maple syrup.
"There is also maple syrup that was specially boiled this year at home. You can try it at noon," Joanna said. Seeing Hawaii running over with a leaf, she took the maple leaf in her daughter's hand and looked at it, and said softly: " Baby, it seems that insects have crawled on this leaf, look, the traces on it are ugly, and then look for it."
Hawaii looked at her mother's finger, still curious: "Mom, why do these things appear when bugs crawl over the leaves?"
Joanna vaguely remembered that the secretions left by some bugs had eroded the leaves and left unsightly marks. She explained it in a low voice in a language that Hawaii could understand, and then opened the curious little guy.
Cindy has been listening to Joanna's words,
When Hawaii ran away again, he said, "Joan, you're so patient."
Joanna smiled and looked at the little figure who was picking up maple leaves, as if looking at the whole world. After a while, she asked Cindy, "How's your conversation with Eric?"
Cindy nodded and said, "I plan to make another season of the show in the spring, and he has already agreed."
Since he came to visit on purpose, there must be a reason, and Cindy's reason was not at all perfunctory.
As the ratings of "America's Model Contest" became more and more popular, Cindy became a little worried during this time.
After getting the project, Cindy asked her private accountant to calculate her possible earnings in detail based on the 10% share contract.
According to the accountant's calculation, the pass line of the viewing data that she can get more remuneration is similar to the calculation of Lietime TV station, which is 1.5 million people. Below this rating data, she can only get a guaranteed salary of 800,000 US dollars, and this is what she won in the contract drafting stage. At that time, she was a little proud because as far as she knew, Linda, Fool, I didn't think of this at all, so there is no guaranteed minimum salary clause in the contract. If the ratings are unsatisfactory and the project fails to generate profits, her months of work will be wasted.
But it was the original contract that made her feel like she was cocooning herself.
In strict commercial contracts, powers and obligations are always equal.
Because of the original guaranteed salary clause, lietime TV also added a bargaining right to the contract, and it was agreed that the two parties could renegotiate salary negotiations in the second season of the show. This is also the condition that lietime TV set out to ensure the production of the sequel. Yes, if the ratings of "America's Model Contest" did not explode, but it also met the standards of TV stations to produce sequels, then they also expect Cindy to join the show with a lower guaranteed salary next season, and the two parties have even reached 5o privately. $10,000 guaranteed minimum intention.
In a small chat with Linda, Cindy said that she would be very satisfied if she could get a profit share of 00,000 US dollars with "America's Model Contest", which is what she came to after being in the TV industry for a few years. more realistic results.
In order to get 00,000 dollars from this project, the viewers of "American Model Contest" need to reach 2.5 million. Based on the fact that the average number of viewers of Lietime TV station did not even reach 100,000, Cindy did not hold this goal. There is so much expectation.
But now, the ratings results of the two programs are far beyond everyone's expectations.
Take the latest issue of the "American Model Contest" that she is in charge of, for example, the highest viewership rate has reached 4.6 million. Moreover, with the continuous expansion of the number of subscribers of lietime TV station and the continuous spread of the program's influence in the future, the internal audience of lietime TV station will continue to spread. It has even been predicted that the highest viewing rate of the program may even exceed 600,000, and the average viewing rate of the whole season will not be lower than 4.5 million.
According to the price floating contract signed by lietime TV station and the advertiser, the average second advertising fee for 1.5 million hours is 50,000 US dollars, and the average number of viewers is 4.5 million, and the advertising fee will increase by three times. After a complete episode is broadcast, lietime TV station will Advertising alone will bring in $6ooo million, follow-up syndicated distribution and dvds and other messes will bring in no less than 6ooo, a project that cost $2ooo to make, will eventually come 120 million in revenue.
Excluding the production cost of 2000,000 US dollars, the net profit will reach at least 100 million US dollars.
100 million US dollars, according to 10% of the share, Cindy can get 1000 thousand dollars, even if it is a Hollywood first-line actress, can get 1000 thousand dollars every year, there will never be more than ten.
So, now comes the problem.
Walking to the door leading to the backyard, Cindy Crawford turned her head and glanced. Eric and Terry Semel had already chatted, and then pushed the door and walked out.
