Mark Harmon續約一年，NCIS續約Season 11 - 重返犯罪現場

NCIS當家主角Mark Harmon正式續約一年，CBS同時宣布NCIS續約第十一季。合約
細目沒有公告，但各家記者普遍相信新約價碼大概在每集500K~700K USD之間，
加上執行製作的身分與影集版權銷售拆帳，Verne Gay粗估Mark Harmon每集可以
賺到一百萬美元以上，比起艾希頓庫奇(一季24M)、亞歷鮑德溫(15M)以及休羅瑞
(18M)－－甚至最紅喜劇宋飛正傳主角傑瑞宋飛的報酬還要豐厚

合約同樣到期的Cote De Pablo正在談續約。

Mark Harmon, now officially king of TV, signs 'NCIS' extension
Friday February 1, 2013 4:25 PM
By Verne Gay

Mark Harmon, star of "NCIS," just became the most remunerated star in the
history of television (that's right, Mr. Jerry Seinfeld — You have been
leap-frogged). He signed a one-year extension to remain at "NCIS."
The importance of this deal to CBS can't be overstated or understated, and
just to prove how huge it is, Leslie Mooves, president of CBS, even made the
rare — indeed, almost unheard — act of ultimate gratitude: He wrote the
news release.

"In a world gone niche, NCIS keeps getting bigger, and Mark Harmon continues
to define the role of leading man on the #1 show on television," said Leslie
Moonves, President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS Corporation. "NCIS is the
type of franchise every company wants in today’s global content ecosystem —
high-quality storytelling that generates passionate viewers and drives
revenue on every conceivable platform."

Oddly enough, Moonves is right. "NCIS" is a huge fish in a pond filled with
teensy guppies. Some of those guppies are better shows, of course, but that's
besides the point. America loves "NCIS". End of story. America especially
love Jethro Gibbs — the boss everyone wishes they had, but — alas — does
not.

How big is this deal for Harmon? To paraphrase the Donald, it's huuuugggge.
Ashton Kutcher is currently the single, highest-paid thespian on TV ($24
million per season) while Hugh Laurie was in second place at $18 million per
season. Alec Baldwin and Harmon were tied in third place at $15 million.

CBS did not release figures, but would you like my guesstimate? He'll make
over $25 million - or about $1 million per episode. I may be on the low side
but this is undoubtedly lucrative, and would edge him above Kutcher. Harmon -
like most major stars - owns a piece of the syndication back end of "NCIS,"
and as an executive producer, (technically he doesn't "own" the show — CBS
and Paramount do) has some ownership points in it too. But a show like this
(one hour) isn't likely to have a giant afterlife in syndication. That would
dictate a larger payday on the front end.

In any case, CBS just had a good day, and so did Harmon. Now, on to the rest
of the cast .
