Entertainment, I just like making movies

After filling the chicken soup.

Fang Ziheng looked at Lin Chaoxian and Yu Feihong and said to them: "Director Lin, Sister Yu, I don't have high demands on you. As long as you two shoot according to the script, you will have completed your task."

"Drug War" and "The Left Ear" are both medium-sized projects with a cost of 40 million. After the scripts have been refined, both the storyline and the plot are a level higher than the original version.

Lin Chaoxian is a talented director in gun fight movies. Fang Ziheng is very relieved. His words are mainly to express his attitude to Sister Yu.

As a young artistic woman, Sister Yu likes to be distracted and easily sentimental. If he doesn't point her in advance, he is afraid that she will follow the same path as "Love Has an Afterlife".

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Lin Feifei's guarantee, Fang Ziheng would never have handed "Left Ear" to the director of Sister Yu.

Although the seafood at Beautiful Mature Woman is good, 40 million is still a bit expensive!

After hearing what he said, Yu Feihong rolled his eyes and said slightly unconvinced: "Don't worry, I will never mess around. Besides, isn't there you? You are the producer of "The Left Ear". You have such a big director to watch." Come on, what could go wrong?"

Tsk tsk

Sister Yu is relying on me.

Fang Ziheng twitched the corner of his mouth and took a puff of cigarette silently. He made up his mind to keep an eye on this person and not let her make the movie according to her preferences.

On the contrary, Lin Chaoxian was sincere and assured her face to face.

"Don't worry, Director Fang. The script of "Drug War" is very exciting. I can't think of any changes that need to be made. I will shoot strictly in accordance with the script."

The reason why Lin Chaoxian was able to break into the mainland film and television industry and participate in Hengyu's projects this time was all thanks to his mentor Xu Ke's matchmaking.

He is very optimistic about the project "Drug War" and hopes to take this opportunity to wash away the inherent label of a Hong Kong director and establish a foothold in the mainland to start a new path for his film career.

Everyone chatted for a while and then went to Hengyu Media Group to start forming their respective crews.

After three years of development, Hengyu Media has accumulated a huge talent pool for film and television.

Thanks to the status of Fang Ziheng, Lin Feifei, Wen Muye and others as Nortel students, the company has maintained good relations with the three major domestic universities since its establishment.

Every year, students graduating from the directing and photography departments from the three major theater chains join Hengyu Media.

In addition to Lao Mouzi’s own team joining the company, Hengyu Film Production Division and Equipment Production Department have a total of eight crew teams, five film teams, and three television teams.

This year, Hengyu will continue to increase the training and training of talents, and is expected to have trained twelve teams by the end of the year, becoming the top spot in the talent pool of film and television companies.

February 18th.

Group No. 1 large conference room.

Fang Ziheng held the first group executive meeting of the year.

The company's top executives gathered together, including the heads of its seven subsidiaries and holding companies.

"In the past year, our company has achieved very dazzling results. Our total performance has exceeded that of the leading company Huayi, and we have become the well-deserved number one premium content producer among national film and television companies!"

“Content first, market share first!”

At the main seat of the center, Fang Ziheng was very proud and summed up the achievements in 2011 to all Hengyu executives.

"All honors and achievements are inseparable from everyone's support and participation. As the chairman of the company, I would like to thank everyone. It is your efforts and the hard work of all colleagues in the company that have made Hengyu Media a giant in the industry. Seat!”

"Everyone, you have worked hard!"

After speaking, Fang Ziheng stood up and bowed slightly toward the front of the conference room.

bang bang

bang bang

There was thunderous applause, and everyone in the conference room felt proud, and their calm demeanor could not help but reveal excited smiles.

Although Fang Ziheng had distributed last year's bonuses to everyone one by one at the New Year's Oath-taking Ceremony.

But today he solemnly thanked everyone at the company's first group executive meeting, which still made everyone feel warm and excited, as if a man would die for his confidant.

Such a boss is worth following.

Later, Group Vice Director Lin Feifei, President Andy, and Vice President and Director of Distribution Department Lin Wei gathered to speak, affirming the company's achievements in the past year and looking forward to reaching new heights this year.

After the opening remarks, the formal meeting begins.

The first thing is that the three dramas "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "Year of Dreams" and "Searching for the Dragon" have been divided.

Financial Director Lin Ruohua stood up and came to the front desk under the multimedia, holding a small stick to explain the profits of the three dramas to everyone.

"Chairman, the domestic box office of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is 712 million, the box office in Asia is 200 million, and the overseas copyright is 25 million US dollars."

"The company's box office revenue in mainland China is 180 million, and revenue in Asia is 70 million. Including the copyright of 25 million U.S. dollars, the total revenue is equivalent to 447.5 million yuan."

"After deducting 120 million yuan in production expenses and 50 million yuan in publicity expenses, the net profit is 277.5 million yuan!"

A profit of more than 200 million is very good.

These profits do not include the premium paid by Bona when investing, otherwise there would be an extra 20 million.

Fang Ziheng smiled slightly and took the lead in applauding.

Then, Lin Ruohua reported the income from "The Year of Dreams" and "The Secret of the Dragon" one by one.

"Year of Dreams" had 570 million in mainland China, and Hengyu only accounted for 50% of the total, with a box office share of 123 million.

The movie's feature advertising fee was sold for 65 million.

Bona also participated in this film, with a premium of 10 million RMB, and a total revenue of 198 million in the mainland.

After deducting 50 million yuan in production expenses and 30 million yuan in publicity expenses, the net profit is 118 million yuan.

It seems that "Year of Dreams" is not very profitable in the mainland, but don't forget that the movie has already been released overseas.

According to feedback on overseas box office trends, it is not a problem to sell a total box office of US$40 million.

In addition, Deng Wendi bought other overseas rights to the film for US$12 million.

Overall, "Year of Dreams" is conservatively estimated to bring nearly 300 million in net income to the company.

No lower than "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"!

Lao Mouzi is so famous that Deng Wendi would rather release "The Year of Dreams" than "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" which has a higher box office in the mainland.

When it was the turn of "Searching for the Dragon", everyone's spirits were shaken and they all sat upright.

They all want to know how much profit this global blockbuster has brought to the company.

Below the multimedia, Lin Ruohua stood tall and straight, with smiling eyes, and slowly informed everyone of the profits with a bit of excitement.

""The Secret of the Dragon" has a total box office of 1.51 billion in mainland China, 360 million in Asia, 226 million US dollars in overseas box office, and 3.565 billion US dollars in global box office!"

"Because of the chairman's reputation, domestic theaters took the initiative to give in to the box office share. After deducting 8.3% of the film tax and funds, the production share was 49%, and a total of 678.5 million yuan was shared.

In addition, the film distribution ratio is 5%, and the revenue is 33.9 million. The company, China Film, and Huayi jointly participate and can share 11.3 million.

After deducting the total publicity expenses of 60 million invested by the three companies, there is still 584.6 million left.

Director Fang personally occupies 10% of the account, and the mainland box office can be divided into 58.46 million yuan.

The remaining box office revenue was 526.1 million, of which the company accounted for 60%, or 315.7 million RMB.

Overseas revenue is US$226 million, with the producer sharing 50%, US$113 million.

Priority deductions include 20th Century Fox's 12% distribution share, which amounts to US$13.56 million.

After deducting 25 million in overseas promotion expenses, the total account was US$74.45 million.

Director Fang personally holds 10% of the account and can receive US$7.445 million.

Huayi does not include overseas box office share, the company exclusively holds 80%, and the final overseas box office net profit was US$56.25 million.

The total box office in Asia is 360 million, and the producers share 50% of the account, 180 million yuan.

Priority will be given to deducting 8% of the issuance share of Yindu institutions, 14.4 million soft sister coins.

After deducting 30 million promotional expenses, the total account is 135.6 million soft sister coins.

Director Fang occupies 10% of the account and can receive 13.56 million soft sister coins.

Huayi does not include Asia's box office share, the company exclusively holds 80%, and Asia's final box office net profit was 97.7 million RMB.

In addition, 20th Century Fox Film Company purchased the full overseas rights to "The Secret of the Dragon" for US$40 million.

The film's production budget was 300 million yuan, and China Film and China Film and Television each invested a premium of 20 million at that time, investing 160 million in the project.

Dear colleagues, to sum up, after deducting the 140 million cost invested by the company, the total profit brought by "Xunlong Jue" to the company is 746 million soft sister coins! "

With the last sentence, Lin Ruohua could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart and shouted out excitedly.

Bang bang bang.

Thunderous applause rang out again, and more than fifty executives in the conference room all stood up to pay high respect to Fang Ziheng.

One movie made more than 700 million yuan, which is simply incredible.

Although the final profit of "The Secret of the Dragon" was not as high as that of "Edge of Tomorrow", everyone knows that the influence this film brought to Hengyu Media and the Chinese film industry is enough to be recorded in the history of Chinese films.

Looking at the entire Chinese film industry, no one has achieved this kind of achievement.

Fang Ziheng pressed his hands down, asking everyone to sit down and calm down.

He nodded to Lin Ruohua, asked her to return to her seat first, and said with a cheerful smile: "As I said again, the achievements of the movie are not due to me alone."

"The chairman is too humble."

"Yes, if it weren't for you and all of us tied together, we wouldn't have been able to film "The Secret of the Dragon" which is such a priority."

"Haha, let me see, when our company goes public in the future, just one movie a year by the chairman alone will be enough to increase the company's market value and stock price."

The senior executives spoke out one after another, blatantly afraid of Fang Ziheng's flattery, and praised him to death in front of him.

No way, the total net profit of the three movies directed and produced by Big Boss during the Lunar New Year last year was more than 1.3 billion yuan.

In addition to the "Embroidered Spring Knife" that I just painted, the net profit is at least over 1.5 billion, which is a lot of money.

As the company's senior executives, they can't do anything to help except to complete their duties, so they can only shout 666.

After a rainbow fart, the meeting got back to business.

"Next, Mr. An will preside over the meeting!"

As Mo Xiangwan spoke up, Andy stood up leisurely and announced Hengyu's project plan and several major events this year to everyone with his unique cold aura.

One of the most eye-catching events was undoubtedly the day on April 15 when Tudou Video was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

At that time, a group of senior executives from the company, as well as internal executives from Tudou Video, will go to Shenzhen to watch the ceremony.

After four months of operation, Tudou Video has not only regained its vitality, but also regained the second spot among video websites, ranking only behind Youku Video.

During the time of the Kuaibo incident, Hengyu Media preemptively purchased the copyrights of countless movies and TV series, and also purchased thousands of film libraries from eight major Hollywood companies through Deng Wendi.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Ziheng teamed up with Wang Wei, the founder of Tudou, to acquire some shares again.

So far, Hengyu Media holds 55.67% of the shares of Tudou Video, making it the largest shareholder.

There is also Qidian.com. Fang Ziheng and Wu Wenhui's team took advantage of the huge sales of "Xunlong Jue" and the sharp increase in the IP of the novel to launch a share buyback from Shanda again.

At that time, Shanda Group continued to sell off its businesses at a slight premium, so both parties could take back all their shares.

As of January this year, Hengyu held 72% of the shares of Qidian Chinese Network and was responsible for the copyright development of website content.

Wu Wenhui’s team accounts for 28% and is responsible for the operation and management of the website.

Speaking of which, Hengyu was able to overtake Teng Xun and take the remaining shares of Qidian, and Wu Wenhui and others were a big help.

After all, only the founders of the company have the first right to repurchase shares.

It was precisely because of this that Teng Xun had no choice but to take advantage of Fang Ziheng. He always wanted to invest in Qidian but failed.

The meeting lasted all day.

In addition to detailing this year's projects and the launch of Tudou Video, the meeting also decided on three other major events.

First: Upgrade the studios of Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, and Damimi and establish a star company.

For the four major studios, the group invested 50 million RMB in each studio, accounting for 65% of the shares.

At the same time, it supports studio-made projects and independently operates a series of businesses such as artist management, advertising, endorsements, etc.

In other words, the four of them are now not only artists under Hengyu, but also the boss of a company. With the support of Hengyu, they are allowed to go out to grab food alone.

Hengyu’s move is also to prepare in advance for the coming in of capital later.

In the next few years, a large amount of capital will enter the market, and the commercial value of Chinese stars will increase day by day, reaching the highest level in the world in just a few years.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that Jiashang Media, where Damimi worked in the previous life, relied on her as a big star shareholder to bring the company’s total valuation to 5 billion.

Although there is an element of false highs in it, it has to be said that this is one of the major ways to make money.

Fang Ziheng's idea was very simple. Instead of them being unable to withstand the temptation of capital and proactively asking him to establish their own business, they might as well help him upgrade his studio in advance and clearly divide their responsibilities and interests.

In this way, no matter how much capital the outside world values ​​the four of them, they can all use four new companies to raise funds.

The greater the reputation, the more financing, and the more the four people and Hengyu make.

Of course, the more the four people earn, the greater their responsibilities. There are dozens of people in a company, and they will all be responsible for their meals in the future.

The second major event is that Hengyu Games will hold e-sports competitions at the end of this year to develop games and pan-entertainment related businesses.

The company's strategic investment department has gone to Sohu's headquarters and asked Sohu to develop a live broadcast software for Hengyu to present various e-sports events of Hengyu Games.

Hengyu Game Company, in addition to continuing to promote "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "League of Legends" this year, also launched five other games.

Among them are the "Dou Po" universe game and the "Zhetian" universe game with Chinese characteristics.

The web versions of the two games are already online, but the PC and mobile versions will have to wait two years until full 4G network coverage is available before they can be launched online.

The third major event is that Hengyu Media will once again build three large-scale filming studios exceeding 50,000 square meters this year.

One of them continues to cooperate with Wanda and is located in Henglin Film and Television City.

Counting the two studios in Qinghai Resort and Xiangshan Film and Television Base, Hengyu will have five major studios next year.

The total investment is 1 billion, which is almost half the size of a film and television city.

It can meet the needs of shooting seven major series including ancient costumes, martial arts, fantasy adventures, science fiction, myths and heroes, and wars.

This plan is one of Hengyu's most important strategic policies.

When the company gets bigger, it can establish a Hengyu film and television base and create a film and television universe city belonging to Hengyu, laying the company's century-old foundation in one fell swoop.
