"Then let me talk about Haotian's special effects!" Chang Hongsong said with some embarrassment and nervousness.

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he saw this, this expression seemed to be something!

In 2004, Haotian Special Effects mainly participated in the production of "The Man Without a Surname", plus took on 3 other special effects, earning a total of 3.5 million yuan. Chang Hongsong said.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect the special effects company to make money, and Chen Hao was also surprised.

Not only surprised that Haotian Special Effects actually made a profit, but also surprised that Yu Haotian Special Effects took 3 jobs by himself, it seems that Haotian Special Effects has received a certain degree of recognition after participating in the production of "District 9".

It's just that Chang Hongsong's expression just now is not so simple, there should be a but!

"Haotian Special Effects has applied for a budget of 20 million yuan this year!" Chang Hongsong said hesitantly.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned again, this just said that they made money, why did they reach out and ask for so much money?

Chen Hao also frowned and looked at Chang Hongsong.

Chang Hongsong had no choice but to say with a bitter face, "Two reasons, the first is because I made a mistake when I made a mistake in the budget of "Kung Fu Panda" before, and after I really did it, I found that the money was burned too fast, and the previous budget of 35 million could not support the completion of the entire movie.

Second, with the update of technology and equipment, we found that the previously made pictures can be done better, and in line with the principle of excellence, many of the finished ones have been pushed to redo.

So, although we made money, we still had to continue to apply for funding because of the animated film "Kung Fu Panda". ”

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard this, most people still felt that it was completely unnecessary to engage in special effects, and they were completely a gold-swallowing beast.

And it is also inappropriate to make animated films, because there is no market for animated films in the mainland, and so far, domestic animated films have not even had a box office of more than 10 million.

It's just that this is led by Chen Hao, and it is not under their own jurisdiction, so everyone is silent.

Chen Hao nodded slowly when he heard this, how easy it is to engage in special effects, it is really not easy to produce results without money.

"I see. Chen Hao nodded, "But are you sure that 20 million is enough?" There is only this one chance, and it will never be increased next time." ”

Everyone present raised their eyebrows when they heard this, but they didn't speak, they could only sigh that their boss was really squandering, and he gave 20 million yuan.

Chang Hongsong, who was a little apprehensive, perked up when he heard this, and immediately replied, "Enough is enough, enough? With these 20 million, I guarantee that I will be able to complete the production of "Kung Fu Panda"? However, in order to ensure the quality, the time will be postponed a little longer, and it will be the best in 2007!"

Chen Hao sighed when he heard this? Seeing that it was the first time to make a three-dimensional animated film, there was a serious lack of experience, and in order to ensure the quality of the film, he tried to make a good start and a four-year production cycle? Chen Hao also nodded and agreed.

Is it no wonder that 3D animation in the mainland cannot be developed? The investment is huge, the cycle is long, and the key is that there is no precedent for success in the market.

"Okay, I agreed, but you're going to have to punish yourself three times tonight. Chen Hao exhaled deeply.

"It should be, it should be!" Chang Hongsong said with a smile on his face, as long as he gave money, he could do anything!

"How many people has the company recruited now?" Chen Hao asked again.

"The number of people in the entire company is close to 80. Chang Hongsong replied, and then hesitated, "Isn't it too much?"

"Not much, if you can recruit it, continue to recruit, and there will be no shortage of tasks for Haotian's special effects in the future." "Chen Hao said?" This time, a lot of people were selected to participate in my new film, so it won't affect the production of "Kung Fu Panda", right?"

"It doesn't affect everyone? Now everyone is working in groups, and the transfer of some people has little impact. Chang Hongsong said.

Now is the influence? Chang Hongsong won't say it? Chen Hao gave Haotian the greatest support for special effects? Why can't he hold back, he must do his best!

"Let me talk about Haotian production, the company produced the music talent show "Happy Girl" last year, with an average rating of 0.48%, which has always ranked second in the ratings of the same period, second only to CCTV!

On "Happy Girl", the company invested a total of 11 million yuan, 10 million production costs, and 1 million naming fees!

In terms of revenue, the first is advertising and SMS revenue, with a total of 18 million advertising expenses and 6 million SMS revenue in the regional competition and 7 finals.

Among them, the SMS revenue will also be distributed to the three major operators 14% of the fee, so the company can share 11.6 million yuan.

In addition, the record income is 9 million, 1 concert is 1 million, advertising endorsement and entertainment brokerage is 11 million, and the company can share 10 million.

That is to say, the company's total revenue is 21.6 million, and after deducting taxes, there is 17.7 million left, excluding 11 million investment, and in 2004, "Happy Girl" made a profit of 6.7 million for the company!" Long Danny said.

Everyone nodded in surprise, but they didn't expect that the production of variety shows, which everyone was not optimistic about at first, actually earned more than 6 million yuan!

The variety shows in the mainland are more than a step behind those of Treasure Island, island countries and South Korea, so it is no wonder that everyone is biased.

It's just that now it's unexpectedly making money, so that everyone no longer has colored glasses for the existence of Haotian Production, and it also recognizes Long Danny's ability.

"Because of the good performance of "Happy Girl" last year, the company will continue to launch the 2005 "Happy Girl" with Shonan Satellite TV this year, with a budget of 28 million, and the two will share the cost, and we will pay 14 million.

There is still 8 million left in the production budget of 20 million given last year, plus the 6.7 million made last year's profit, which is just enough for this year's production costs. Danny Long said.

"There won't be no more title sponsors this year, right?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"Of course not, after all, Zhuyu is in front, everyone is now unanimously optimistic about this year's "Happy Girl" to a higher level, and now many businesses have contacted the program team, and the price of Mengniu's naming fee has exceeded 10 million!" Long Danny said with a smile.

There was a commotion at the scene, this show has not yet been produced, and the naming fee has been 10 million, it seems that this year's "Happy Girl" should be more profitable than last year!

Chen Hao naturally nodded happily, the brand effect of "Happy Girl" has been established, and when this year's "Happy Girl" is launched, it will be more stable and louder.

After all, this year's 2005 Happy Girls Club has become a legend in the history of the mainland draft!

When the Happy Series brand is completely famous, you can launch the "Happy Boys" trendily, and the Happy Series brand will continue for many years.

"Ahem, let me talk about Haotian Happy Twist, the company created and performed a new drama "Twist 2 Love Flu" last year, and performed 10 times in succession in the imperial capital, and the box office revenue and company expenditure were basically balanced.

This year, the company will continue to create new dramas and strive for better box office results. Zhang Chen said.

Chen Hao expressed his understanding when he heard this, after all, dramas are indeed relatively niche compared to film and television dramas and music, and Happy Twist is in the early stage of development, and it is good to be able to break even.

However, Chen Hao still gave Happy Twist a budget of 1 million to update equipment and improve theater infrastructure.
