The income of 100 billion US dollars is not a cent of follow-up costs, it is a net income. The copyright holder will share a portion of this money with the actors, directors, and screenwriters.
As for the specific amount, it must not only comply with the trade union regulations, but also list it in detail on the contract while the actor, director and screenwriter sign the contract.
For example, the TV series "Friends" was premiered in 1994, lasted for 10 seasons, and was suspended in 2004.
Warner earns about $1 billion in revenue from the copyright of the show every year, so how much can Aniston and the other five starring actors get?
According to Forbes, Jennifer Aniston signed a contract with Warner, including 2% back-end income.
That is, if Warner earns $1 billion a year from Friends as reported, Aniston would get $20 million.
Note that 20 million US dollars is purely profitable, which means that Aniston will not need any work in his life and will also earn $20 million per year.
Let’s look at the other starring actors. According to reports, the six people signed 2% contracts in the last season, so some American media believe that each of them earns $20 million a year.
In fact, this is basically impossible.
As for Lisa, who plays Phoebe, she was sued by her manager a few years ago, which was about owing the manager 5%-10% commission on the backend dividends of the TV series.
Based on the amount requested to the court, it can be concluded that Lisa received a Friends back-end dividend of about $6 million in 2014.
The difference in income between Lisa and Aniston is determined by the specific content of the contract signed by each person with the TV production company before the filming of each season begins.
However, "Friends" is not the TV series with the highest revenue in the backend.
Jerry Seinfeld, the main creator and male star of "Seinfeld", has become the highest total payer in Hollywood in the past decade, all of which have back-end income.
So how much money did he make in total?
According to reports, Seinfeld can earn $90 million in back-end dividends every year through Seinfeld!
In other words, if he lies still, he can earn RMB 5.4 billion per year.
What's more, he didn't lie down. His new film, Jerry Befre Seinfeld, was bought out by Netflix for 100 million US dollars, and was broadcast as the original content of the platform.
Everyone in the United States has seen Seinfeld at least 100 episodes. The advertising fee in the United States is calculated based on the 30-minute series. Due to the large amount of advertising fees and subscriber income, this dividend is justified.
Speaking of advertising fees, we have to mention "Two and a half"
Charlie Sheen played the role of the show, and later her salary increased to $1.8 million per episode.
In 2011, he was fired by the crew for reasons such as excessive asking price, but he was still able to receive a back-end dividend of US$6.15 million per month according to the contract.
So, why can the production company pay him such a high salary?
It turns out that the drama's advertising fees and other income is as high as US$4 million per episode (just in the US market), plus the Shanghai and the second and third rounds of playback are even more impressive.
How much is a streaming platform willing to pay for old dramas?
Netfllix signed a contract renewal with the copyright owner of Friends this year, with a contract worth $100 million.
But next year, Warner's HBO max will buy a broadcast license for a new price of $500 million a year, and the TV series will be removed from Netflix.
Popular sitcom actors can easily get relatively high back-end income.For example, dramas such as Seinfeld, Friends, and the Office show that the production companies behind these dramas can earn more back-end income.
So what is the situation with the movie?
The back-end income of movies is often overlooked by outsiders, which is actually very important.
Like TV series actors, movie actors also rely on the income dividends brought by various copyrights to earn income.
For example, "The Shawshank Redemption" has a budget of US$25 million and a box office of US$58.3 million. Judging from the box office that year, it did not make any money, and it even lost a little.
But twenty years later, in 2014, the film, as one of the best after-review movies, was played more than 50 times in a year on major TV stations, and on average once a week.
Starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, the money that can get from these 50 TV broadcasts is at least six figures a year.
How is the amount of back-end dividends for actors determined?
According to the Actors Union's algorithm, this amount is related to the pay you received in that year and also to the level of the copyright license fee you received for your movie.
The first round of TV broadcasts can get up to 40% of the money, and then decrease in turn until the twelfth round of broadcasting, without any change.
Since streaming media platforms pay the copyright license fee for a month or a year rather than broadcast once, there are other calculation methods, and the following is not specified here.
Of course, if the actor has made other agreements on the back-end income sharing before starting work, the dividends will not be calculated completely according to the formula given by the actors' union.
The two starring actors are estimated to have no more than 3 million in the movie "Shawshank Redemption", so it is normal for them to get a six-figure dividend in 20 years.
The back-end income is not only available for the leading actors.The five-year-old actor with only a few lines appeared for five minutes in 1997's "Titanic".
His salary back then was $30,000, and he used the money to support himself in college.
Nowadays, he can also get a back-end dividend of 200-300 US dollars from the Actors Union every year.
There are 100,000 actors in Hollywood. Those who can get dividends cannot be background actors, but they must be those with roles and lines. Some actors will never be stars in their lives, but they participate in 500 episodes of various TV series in their lives. Even if they give 8 yuan per drama every month, the back-end income will be enough for their whole life.
In fact, the actor's back-end income is more than 8 yuan per drama, and occasionally makes guest appearances as more important supporting roles, and can charge several hundred dollars per episode every month.
Examples like "The Shawshank Redemption" happened in most famous movies released in 1994, such as "Forrest Gump", which not only earned $700 million in box office that year, but Tom Hanks also earned a large amount of back-end revenue every year due to the N-wheel playback of the movie.
So in Chen Hao's opinion, it is nonsense that mainland actors earn more than Hollywood actors. Even before Chen Hao's rebirth, Wu Jing, the king of box office in the mainland, really made more money than the top Hollywood superstars like Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr.?
Actually, it's not!
It is unrealistic for ordinary actors to surpass ordinary actors in Hollywood. After all, after so many years of improving the film industry, the treatment of ordinary actors is definitely much better than that of those supporting actors in Hengdian!
As for second- and third-tier actors, Hollywood actors still have the dominance. After all, the other party really pays great attention to copyright and late-stage returns. For example, there is no situation in China where you can still eat the late-stage returns brought by TV series after filming a TV series for decades. This is simply impossible. Moreover, the late-stage returns of a TV series have nothing to do with the actors, unless the actor is the investor and producer!
As for the specific amount, it must not only comply with the trade union regulations, but also list it in detail on the contract while the actor, director and screenwriter sign the contract.
For example, the TV series "Friends" was premiered in 1994, lasted for 10 seasons, and was suspended in 2004.
