After signing until the end, Yu Dong raised his head.
At the end of the team was a young girl about twenty years old, probably a college student. She was looking at Yu Dong excitedly.
Yu Dong stretched his arms and said with a smile, "You must be very tired after waiting so late."
The girl shook her head like a rattle, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. I'm very lucky. If I'm one more late, it won't be my turn today."
What she said was completely true. When the staff announced the end of the queue, she was standing at the end. At that time, all she could think of was two words: "Rejoice."
Yu Dong picked up the signature pen again and said with a smile, "Then let me add a little more luck to your luck."
After that, Yu Dong signed his name on both of the girl's books and wrote a special signature.
As if she had found a treasure, the girl said, "Thank you, Teacher Yu, thank you, Teacher Yu."
It is not easy to get two special lottery tickets at once.
After the girl left, Yu Dong stood up and stretched his muscles. There were not many people in the literature hall. The only ones left were the staff waiting for him to finish signing books.
"Where are Teacher Yu Hua and the others? Have they gone back?" Yu Dong asked the staff next to him.
The staff member said, "Teacher Yu Hua and the others should still be in your office...waiting for you."
Yu Dong smiled, these guys must be playing cards in his office.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked up. From this position, he could barely see the top floor of the deep space main building. The lights in his office were indeed still on.
After telling the staff to go back and rest early, Yu Dong went to his office.
…
Pushing open the door of the office, he heard the noise inside. What Yu Dong didn't expect was that they were not only playing cards, but also had two tables, one for middle-aged and elderly people, and one for young people.
The senior group is naturally Yu Hua, Mo Yan and the others, while the youth group is Ruan Xiaohu, Xu Zechen and the others.
Xu Zechen graduated from his undergraduate degree two years ago and is now studying Chinese at Yenching Normal University. The reason why he chose Yenching Normal University is naturally because of Yu Dong.
Although Xu Zechen is still in graduate school, he has published many articles and is considered a well-known author. Today he also signed a book, but the time was relatively short, only two hours.
There is also Zhao Yan in the youth group.
Zhao Yan is now considered the best-selling young writer in China, provided that Yu Dong does not fall into the category of young writers. Of course, no one regards Yu Dong as a young writer now.
When Xu Zechen and Zhao Yan attended an event, the organizer might introduce them as young writers, but since many years ago, no one has introduced Yu Dong as a young writer, even though he is only thirty-four.
Years old, really young people.
Zhao Yan’s main battlefield is the fantasy popular novel market, which is not the same as Ruan Xiaohu and Xu Zechen.
Seeing Yu Dong, Yu Hua smiled and said, "Executive member, you are finally done. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Yu Dong sneered, "Are you sure you are waiting for me? Not to play cards?"
"Waiting for you, let's play cards by the way." Bi Feiyu said with a smile, "There is no conflict between the two, right?"
Yu Dong pouted, "Well, since you are waiting for me, I'm done now, let's go."
Wang Xiaobo said, "You must be very tired after signing for so long today. Please sit down and rest for a while. Don't leave in a hurry."
"That's right." Bi Feiyu took over, "We are all thinking about you, Xiaohu, go and pour your teacher a cup of tea."
Before Ruan Xiaohu could react, Xu Zechen stood up and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Seeing Xu Zechen's positive attitude, Yu Hua joked, "It's good to have students here. I'm even thinking about recruiting a few students. I'm in the office now and I have to make tea myself."
Yu Dong rolled his eyes, "You accept students just to serve you tea and water?"
"Otherwise, what's the point of recruiting students?" Yu Hua said confidently.
Yu Dong ignored him, took the water glass from Xu Zechen's hand, and then sat on the sofa to rest. He was indeed tired now.
After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Yu Dong opened his eyes and said to Xu Zechen and Ruan Xiaohu, "Zhechen and Xiaohu will go to Luoyuan tomorrow. I have something to tell you."
Ruan Xiaohu and Xu Zechen nodded in unison, "I understand, teacher."
Yu Dong looked at the time. It was already half past eleven. He yawned, "I won't accompany you anymore. You can fight here by yourself. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I advise you to go back early and wait until
Wang Shuo, Han Shaogong and the others are here, get them two tables."
Yu Hua pointed at Yu Dong and said with a smile, "You are so bad. It is not easy for Wang Shuo and Lao Han to make some money all year round."
"It's not easy for anyone in this world. Anyway, if you don't win with their money, there are other people who want to win, so it's better for you to win."
Bi Feiyu gave a thumbs up, "That makes sense. We have done a good thing."
Yu Dong smiled, ignored them, and went home first.
…
On Yu Dong's way back, it was also the time for the online live broadcast of tickets for the Deep Space New Year's Eve concert.
Although this year's concert will be held in a stadium and tickets will be sold, it will still be broadcast live online as in previous years.
Of course, it is said to be an online live broadcast, but the tickets are free. The reason why the tickets are released is to prevent there are too many viewers in the online live broadcast room and some people cannot squeeze in. Let them grab the tickets first.
Audiences with tickets can enter the live broadcast room first, while viewers without tickets can only be squeezed out of the live broadcast room first.
In fact, grabbing tickets is just a gimmick, just to increase the exposure of Yawei Yawei.com and to increase the popularity of the live broadcast of the party.
This live broadcast is divided into online live broadcast and TV live broadcast. The online live broadcast is undertaken by Duckweed alone, while the live TV broadcast is handled by Turner Broadcasting and ABC.
When it comes to broadcasting rights, ABC wants to slap itself in the face.
Two years ago, they had a conversation about the rights to broadcast the live broadcast of the Deep Space Annual Conference. At that time, Deep Space Company made a bold move and asked ABC to sign a five-year long-term contract with them for a total price of 250 million US dollars.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course ABC cannot agree to it. The long-term contract is inherently risky, and it costs US$250 million over five years, which on average amounts to US$50 million per year.
It is much higher than the cost of Oscar broadcasting. Even if there is subsequent inflation, it cannot be that much more.
After a period of negotiation, the two parties finally reached an agreement. ABC only purchased the broadcast rights on the day of the official annual meeting, and signed a three-year contract for a total of 40 million U.S. dollars. Based on this calculation, ABC only spends more than 13 million U.S. dollars each year.
, compared with the previous 50 million US dollars per year, the gap is huge.
Moreover, in the view of ABC's senior management at the time, the main traffic during the few days of the Deep Space Annual Meeting was the day of the official annual meeting, because there would be celebrities walking on the red carpet that day, and they could spend more than 13 million U.S. dollars a year.
If they get the broadcasting rights, they think they have made a profit.
But now it seems that the choice made at that time was wrong. It’s not that they lost money by spending 13 million US dollars to buy the broadcast rights. In fact, they have been making money from broadcasting the Deep Space Annual Conference in recent years.
The ratings of the Deep Space Annual Conference are increasing year by year, and it has a stable audience.
The reason why it is wrong is because there is more money that could have been earned, but they did not earn it because of their wrong choices.
The Deep Space Annual Conference has become more and more popular in the past two years. It is not only the official annual conference that has the highest number of viewers, but other theme days are also very popular, especially the game theme day. The attention is simply outrageous.
The number of people online in the live broadcast room on last year's game theme day was very high, even approaching the number of viewers at the Oscars.
The reason why the online number of live broadcasts on the game theme day is so high is naturally because there will be activities organized on that day, as well as some game conferences.
Especially this year, the traffic on Music Day and Game Day will definitely explode.
Deep Space Company also held a New Year’s Eve party on the Music Theme Day. The effect of this live broadcast will definitely be explosive. However, it is a pity that the contract they signed with Deep Space Company did not include the activities on the Music Theme Day.
Live broadcast, so this time they have to compete for broadcast authorization again.
In the end, they and Turner obtained the broadcast authorization for the Deep Space New Year's Eve Party. The total cost was US$52 million, which was shared equally between the two broadcasting companies. Each broadcaster paid US$26 million. This amount was already higher than their previous
The price of purchasing the live broadcast of the official annual meeting has doubled.
If they can sign a 250 million contract, they can save 26 million US dollars this time, and they don’t have to share broadcast rights with Turner Broadcasting Company. And if Deep Space Company alone has opened so much, if
If you make a counteroffer, you can definitely pay a little less, and maybe you can get it to less than 200 million US dollars.
In addition, inflation has been very strong in the past two years, and broadcasting fees have increased a lot. The cost of the Oscars live broadcast next door has also increased to 30 to 40 million US dollars.
In addition, ABC did not have the rights to broadcast the game day, and they had to spend nearly 30 million US dollars to purchase the rights to broadcast the game in the past.
Some time ago, ABC tried to discuss the packaging of the entire annual meeting with Deep Space Company, but Deep Space Company ignored them.
The reason why this year's game day broadcast rights cost so much is because Deep Space Company organized a special event this year. There will be an exhibition match for the WCG champions on site. The lineup is very strong. It can be said that even if you are not the champion, you are not qualified to be on stage.
Also, on Game Day this year, Blizzard will also officially publicly test their new game "World of Warcraft". This game has always been highly anticipated. This time the new game is released on Game Day, there will definitely be no shortage of people in the live broadcast room.
For Music Day alone, Deep Space Company received US$52 million from advertising and broadcasting rights this year, in addition to advertising fees.
A total of 75 advertisements were sold for this deep space New Year's Eve party. The price of each advertisement ranged from 650,000 US dollars to 1.5 million US dollars. On average, the cost of an advertisement was 950,000 US dollars.
US dollars.
A total of 75 advertisements, which is 71.2 million US dollars, plus 52 million US dollars in broadcast fees, 123.2 million US dollars.
The broadcasting cost of the game theme day is more than 27 million US dollars, and the advertising cost is more than 40 million US dollars, totaling more than 67 million US dollars.
On the day of the official annual meeting, the current broadcasting fee is close to 30 million, plus more than 60 million in advertising fees, it is close to 100 million US dollars.
Lin Lin finally calculated that he could probably get more than 330 million US dollars from the broadcast of the Deep Space Company's annual meeting during the seven days.
In fact, there are sports days where you can get a lot of money, but you earn more and spend more on sports days. Basically all the money earned is spent, so I don’t count it. Several other theme days
The market prices vary quite a bit, and the total amount in a few days is more than 30 million.
The Deep Space Company also spends a lot of money to hold its annual meeting. Especially this year, expenses in all aspects have increased.
The number of guests is larger, and the subsidy standard is higher. Just to reimburse the guests for their food, accommodation, travel expenses and Star Card points, Deep Space Company will spend more than 40 million US dollars.
If you tell me this fee, others may not believe it. What kind of guest subsidy can cost so much money?
In fact, this is indeed the case, mainly for foreign guests. The travel expenses alone for foreign guests will cost thousands of dollars.
For example, Nelson and Alex had a total of six people coming, and the round trip expenses cost more than 20,000 US dollars. The cost of food, accommodation and other expenses for several days added up to several thousand US dollars.
Some guests also asked for a translator, and hiring a translator is not cheap these days.
Deep Space Company has invited a total of more than 4,000 guests. On average, each guest brings 0.5 family members, which means more than 6,000 people will come. Each of these 6,000 people will be given 100,000 starry sky points, which is 600 million points.
This item is more than 30 million yuan.
After the dinner, everyone had a souvenir, which was a starry sky card. The cost of the starry sky card was fifteen hundred yuan. The standard for the dinner was four hundred yuan per person, not including wine...
There are 6,000 people. On average, each person spends more than 8,000 US dollars.
If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem like there are that many.
Then there is the construction of the stage and the replacement of equipment...
In addition, the live broadcast itself requires a lot of equipment, staff, and subsidies for artist performances.
All the expenses are added up. This year's annual meeting will cost about more than 260 million US dollars. Deep Space Company should make less than 50 million US dollars. Of course, in addition, Deep Space Company still makes money.
There are many starry sky points, and these points are converted into money, and there are tens of millions.
In fact, even if they make less money, Yu Dong and the others don't care. The purpose of holding the Deep Space Annual Meeting is not to make money. It's just that they have done well in the past few years, so they can earn some money. In the first few years of the annual meeting, Deep Space
The company simply gives money to external parties just to make money.
Now it's better, not only can I make a lot of money every year, but I can also make money.
The annual meeting of Deep Space Company can be said to be a cross-generational phenomenon. No company has ever been able to organize an annual meeting like this. Now even if Deep Space Company does not want to hold an annual meeting, the Jinling government probably requires them to hold one, and even
The government can give some money to deep space companies.
