Ken Watanabe (47) was taken over by all 10 TV and radio shows in which he starred because of the cheating scandal. There are reports that his annual income is 100 million yen, but some industry insiders say that "it should not be so much." So how much income does he really have?
Watanabe's regular appearances are as follows:
From the above table, we can see how popular he is. It is also possible to reach 100 million yuan in annual revenue, but at present, all of these revenues are definitely gone. Relevant people in the industry have analyzed it in this way.
"It's true that just being on a TV show can earn 100 million yuan a year, but in fact, the remuneration for TV shows is not so much for artists." For them, commercial performances and advertising revenue are the biggest heads. Going on TV is just to increase your appearance. So even if it's free to star, almost all artists and firms are willing. Of course, the host is a different matter. For example, Watanabe's Brunch (TBS Stage) costs 800,000 yen per episode. Although they are on the same group together, he is different from the other person in the group. In addition, the appearance fee of "Love Music" (Fuji Tv) hosted by Chiari Mori Takashi is 400,000 per episode. The FNS Song Festival, which is hosted twice a year with Moriko, is 1.5 million yen. ”
In this way, the above programs alone can easily exceed 60 million a year.
In addition, "Noon Shimbun" (Nippon Tv) is 150,000 yen, "The Legal Consulting Office of the Great Queue" (Nippon TV) is 300,000 yen, "Aiba Gaku" (Asahi TV) is 250,000 yen, and "Watanabe's Walking Style" jointly broadcast by Hulu and Nippon is 200,000 yen. He also has radio shows and some other cameos, 2.5 million a week, about 125 million a year.
Of course, all this money will not go into Watanabe's pocket.
"The manpower of the firm to which he belongs is divided into 7:3 or 8:2 with artists. So you can get 100 million yuan in the revenue on TV shows alone. ”
Also about commercial performances with higher actual incomes. "Their group is not very involved in commercial performances together, nor have they heard that Watanabe has participated in commercial performances." Because he was busy on TV shows and attending food parties. In addition, there is also a membership-based food exchange organization opened at the DMM online salon, "Let the Ministry of Transportation Build a Lingering Shop Quietly Tell You". The monthly membership fee is 5,000 yen, and there are about 300 members. This alone is 1.5 million a month, approaching 20 million a year. He also publishes food books, which are more of a food artist than an entertainer. ”
