Chapter 330 The Growth of the Special Effects Department
When Sheng Tang acquired the special effects company before, the original boss Wang Cong held 20% of the shares.

At that time, Sheng Tang just got up and didn't have so much capital. In addition, Chen Fan felt that one more director would have more contacts, so he decided to cooperate with him.

However, after a year of development, Shengtang's special effects department has gradually grown, and it is not good for the company to keep such a director.

They simply bought the remaining shares of Wang Cong directly.

The revenue of Shengtang Special Effects Department last year was about 2000 million. It stands to reason that Wang Cong can get about [-] million in dividends.

It's just that at the beginning of this year, the Shengtang department expanded production and bought an office building at the same time. These investments need to be settled with Wang Cong.

As a result, Wang Cong's actual dividends will be pitifully small.

When he sold the special effects company before, it was because of problems in the operation of his own company.

After more than a year, the company's problems have not been resolved, and he is also eager to collect funds. In addition, Sheng Tang's special effects department is investing continuously, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover the cost, so he simply agreed to Sheng Tang's quotation.

In fact, with this [-] million return, plus the money Chen Fan paid before, Wang Cong did not lose money in the special effects company, and even made a slight profit.

Although the company's finances have been reduced by nearly half, Chen Fan is still very happy. The office space has doubled, and the company's assets have also increased a lot.

Theater chains and special effects departments can be transformed into money-making machines after a period of precipitation.

The expansion of the special effects department made Zeng Zhihe red-faced. Some unattainable ideas suddenly seemed to start to come true.

"Mr. Chen, all the employees of the special effects department have moved to the new site. We plan to recruit another 200 people after the new year. We have recruited 83 people so far, and it is expected that they will be fully recruited within two months."

"Originally, the production of special effects for "Terminator 2" would take six months, but now it only takes two months. It can be said that the time for our special effects production has been greatly improved!"

Chen Fan was thoughtful, tripled the time?Or shorten the time by four months?
"Minister Zeng, what do you mean by that, if we buy another batch of consoles, will the time for producing special effects be further reduced?"

Zeng Zhihe quickly waved his hands,
"Mr. Chen, the current number of hosts in the special effects department is sufficient, just like our rendering capacity is enough to cover the upper limit of a movie's special effects production."

"If we buy another thousand mainframes, or recruit hundreds more special effects employees, the time for producing special effects will indeed be reduced, but the range will not be as great as it is now. It is estimated that it will be reduced by ten days or eight days at most."

"The pay and return are almost out of proportion."

"And the mainframe is lossy. If there are too many idle places, it is a waste of resources."

"Generally we render at full power, and the life of a host may be one or two years."

"However, an idle host can hardly be used to make special effects after two years."

"So it's completely unnecessary to sell the mainframe again."

So, Chen Fan understood instantly.

The special effects were produced in two months, so the movie will be released in May?

Zhang Ming was not in a hurry to be interrupted by the special effects department. Although the music department was usually the first to speak, in fact, the order was not conclusive.

"Mr. Chen, everyone, the music department's plan for this year is mainly related to the work of these artists who have already debuted."

"We plan to release Xiong Dongfeng and Fruit Girl's new album in March."

"The new album of Yu Fei and Ye Changge will be released in April."

"Girls' Generation is planned to be released in May."

"Producing and releasing Strawberry's new album mid-year."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ming suddenly nodded to Chen Fan.

"As for your new album, boss, whenever you want to release it, the music department will fully support you."

The implication is that we will not urge you in the future, and we can post whenever we want!

Chen Fan nodded. Although his ten songs are all ready, the release of new albums by other singers in the company is more important.

Stop fighting among yourself.

Zhang Ming paused, and then said:

"In addition, we also plan to train the existing trainees, and pay close attention to the very popular "The Voice of Dragon Kingdom" in the first half of this year."

"We believe that there should be many good seedlings in this program."

When Zhang Ming said this, he stopped talking.

The meeting process is generally like this, and the progress and related situations will not be reported in too much detail.

This matter can be directed to Chen Fan.

The main purpose of reporting work at the meeting is to solve the problems of various departments. It is much easier for everyone to brainstorm than Chen Fan and the leaders to figure out a solution by themselves.

However, there were almost no problems in today's meeting.

Chen Fan also knows some things about the music department.

For example, Zhang Ming is in contact with a list of Huatian entertainment artists provided by Chen Fan, trying to recruit these people.

It includes Yue Mei'er, Chu Xiaoqiang, Dai Mengyao and other students who are familiar with Chen Fan's previous good songs, and there are also some top singers in the Longguo music scene.

It's just a pity that Sheng Tang's current status in the music world can't even talk about singers who are kings and queens. Chen Fan simply didn't move these people's minds.

After Zhang Ming finished, Lin Zixuan began to report on the work of the film and television department.

"Mr. Chen, the transformation of our Shengtang theater chain has already started. In addition to changing the names of our [-] movie theaters, we have also unified the database and membership system."

"Once the new system is produced, it will be released on the platform, and then we can develop members belonging to our Shengtang Cinemas."

"Almost all of these [-] movie theaters are located in large counties in Jiangnan Province, An Giang Province, Lianghe Province and the Three Northeast Provinces. In the future, we will continue to develop theaters in important cities and other provinces."

"The cinema is expected to be officially open in April!"

Chen Fan nodded, an idea suddenly came to his mind, but he still signaled Lin Zixuan to continue.

""Crazy Stone" has been taken off the shelves, and "You at the Same Table" and "Nightclub" are still in theaters. It is expected that these two films will be offline at the end of March."

"Currently the company is filming films and TV dramas such as "Resident Evil", "I Am the Mountain", and "The Grudge". We are preparing for "Play Back To School", "The Son of Man 2", and "Three Idiots Raising Trouble in Tang Dynasty". , "Blue Life and Death", "Star Wars."

"Fortunately, we already have nine film crews. Even if the thank you movie starts shooting at the same time, the company can handle it!"

"Finally, I would like to tell you a piece of good news. As of last night, the ratings of "The Son of Man" officially broke through 65 points. This drama is our first TV drama in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but it has achieved great success and made a good start. Our film and television department will definitely make persistent efforts and create greater glories!"

As soon as Lin Zixuan finished speaking, the meeting room suddenly burst into cheerful applause.
