Chapter 197: Broken Ship, Pill
Zhou Yun, who got the promise, continued: "If nothing else, the income of the "Tip of the Tongue" project is about 1100W. Throw away the cost of 600W, and there is still a net profit of 500W. "Tip of the Tongue" is a joint production between us and CCTV's three program departments, and the investment ratio is also 1:1, and we can share 250W of net profits.
The total income of the three programs is 450W+600W+550W=1600W. The net profit is 300W+300W+250W=850W. Of course, this is only an estimate. In general, the final figure is to be exceeded. โ
A string of numbers seemed to spit out of Zhou Yun's mouth lightly, but it dealt a heavy blow to the hearts of everyone present.
The net profit of 850W is already the highest in the past three years. You must know that it has only been less than half a year, and if the second half of the year is not weaker than the current momentum, it is really a big event.
As Zhao Shoushi, who brought these three projects, it is only natural that he will sit in the position of director with this achievement. It will not convince everyone, at least you can eat a few lemons, and you don't have to be as pantothenic acid as you are in front of you.
The pure profit of 850W is like the love words spoken by Aquaman, and it is more like the warm current blown by the central air conditioner, pouring into everyone's hearts and making people excited.
Zhou Yun, who had not yet sat down, watched coldly, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she mercilessly poured a basin of cold water on everyone, "The success of the above three projects makes me feel a little high-spirited, and I believe everyone has similar feelings."
But now is not the time to be happy, because the vast majority of the projects we are involved in are still in a state of low profits or even losses, and the situation is even worse than last year.
Since the Spring Festival, we have been responsible for the distribution of five films. It's a pity that there hasn't been a hit. We can only charge the lowest level of issuance fees, totaling 80W. And that's not even counting the labor.
We independently invested and distributed the theatrical film "Shocking Sea", and the production cost was 400W. The box office failure only recovered the cost of 100W, and the product placement revenue was 100W. This project has a huge loss of 200W.
A total investment of 800W was invested in "Ten Thousand Lights", which was invested in conjunction with the movie channel. The box office recovery cost is 180W. 100W for movie channel broadcasting rights, 200W for implanted ads. Both lost 160W each.
The emotional program "I Want to Have a Home Season 2", which was commissioned by Cheongju TV, decided to cancel the order for the third season due to unfavorable ratings, and only 60% of the cost of the second season was paid.
The remaining 40% is said to be slow, but we all understand that this balance payment is likely to be unrecoverable, and it will take at least a few years to recover.
The show "I Want to Have a Home" was the second place in the profit list last year, providing us with a net profit of 20W+. But 60% of this year's expenses can offset the production costs, and even if it is slightly profitable, it will not exceed 500,000.
The most important thing is that the cancellation of orders in the third quarter means that we will lose this income in the second half of the year and even next year. The only consolation is that last year's most profitable 'advertising and marketing' was relatively stable.
But this stability is also one-sided, some customers have invested in product placement in "Shocking Sea", "Ten Thousand Lights", and "I Want to Have a Home", and they don't know all the numbness. Threatened to cancel next year's advertising.
Fortunately, thanks to the success of the two projects "Tip of the Tongue" and "Yu Huanshui", coupled with the discount promise we gave, this has dispelled the suspicions of complaining customers.
The customer was temporarily appeased, and also agreed to test the waters with a wave of advertising. But I was beating the drum in my heart, in the first half of the year we had "Tip of the Tongue" and "Yu Huanshui", and in the second half of the year, we had nothing. โ
As he spoke, Zhou Yun, who sighed, handed the document in his hand to Jiang Che, "Mr. Jiang, this is the summary table I organized, please take a look." โ
Jiang Che's face was solemn, he took the document and looked down to read it, and he looked a little serious before he turned a page for a long time.
Something wasn't going well, and everyone was a little bit silent. The only sound of faint breathing and the clatter of documents could be heard throughout the room.
~~~
Before today, Zhao Punctual learned about the situation inside the Forbidden City through the reports of Zhang Wallgen and Wang Qi, as well as several telephone exchanges with Zhou Yun.
I didn't worry about the operation of the Forbidden City at all, thinking that I was just playing the role of icing on the cake, who would have thought that the Forbidden City, which was completely powerful, would be a broken ship with a bright appearance and a dilapidated inside.
Zhao Shoushi, who was half-bowing his head, glanced at Jiang Che out of the corner of his eye, wanting to judge from his face whether the situation was exaggerated to cooperate with the plan, or if it was really so serious.
Jiang Che lowered his head, unable to see it really. Zhou Yun was on his side, and he couldn't judge it by his eyes.
Looking at Zhang Wallgen again, his face was slightly surprised, and Zhang Wallgen's gaze fell on Zhou Yun. This shows that he does not know the truth of this.
This is also understandable. The planning department, business department, and customer department that Zhou Yu is responsible for are the front-line departments, and you can feel the changes in the project and customers most intuitively.
Zhang is in charge of the logistics and finance departments, and the information obtained is delayed.
What really made Zhao Punctual dumb was that Dong En, who was directly opposite him, had the same face as usual, as if he had already known about it.
In other words, this is the answer sheet handed over by Dong En and Song Jie in the half month they have been in the company. It was also the fuse that prompted Jiang Che to abruptly implement the plan.
It's just that Dong En and Song Jie's positions have not been decided, and they are not suitable to come forward, so they will hand over Zhou Yun to make this report.
Zhao Punctuality, who knew everything in his heart, sat quietly and waited for the next development of things. If nothing else, the next person to be questioned will be himselfใใใ
After a long time, Jiang Che closed the document, took off his glasses, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said with a little bitterness: "The situation is indeed not optimistic. There is still half a month to go, and we will face the preliminary review, in addition to reviewing the results of the first half of the year, we will also ask about the plans and expectations for the second half of the year.
If this document is followed, then it would be easier for us to directly announce the withdrawal from the list. However, I don't think everyone is willing to retreat like this, right? It happened that Director Zhao was returning to Beijing, and I specially convened this meeting in the hope that everyone would get together and start a brainstorming. โ
Knocking on the conference table with his finger back, making a crisp sound, Jiang Che got up and spread his palms towards Dong En, and introduced: "Director Zhao is sure that these two are not familiar, let me reintroduce them." The person opposite you is Dong En, who used to be the content director of North China Art Center Co., Ltd., and is an expert in movies and TV dramas.
The one on the side is Song Jie, who was the vice president of Ruiter Trading Co., Ltd. Both of these positions are directors, and we hope that you will support their work. โ
"Alright, let's get started. Jiang Che made a final decision and handed over the topic to everyone present.
Two minutes later, seeing that no one spoke, Dong En, the movie and TV series 'Brick Family', got up, looked around and said hello, then he looked at Jiang Che and said: "I am very honored to join our [Forbidden City Pictures] family, and I hope to work together with everyone here in the future to make the Forbidden City to a higher level."
Since Mr. Jiang proposed to start brainstorming, then I will throw bricks and lead the way. When I was in the media in North China, I had a good personal relationship with director Jiang Buyu. He was preparing "Dream Order", and he promised to let us participate in the investment, but no more than 10% of the share. โ
The business unit is responsible for engaging with individual projects and assessing the feasibility of the project before deciding whether or not to be involved.
According to the process, the projects brought by Dong En are subject to evaluation by the business department. Zhou Yun is in charge of the business department, but the business department also has its own director.
Gao Xiuling, director of the business department, asked: "Director Jiang is definitely the top director in China, there is no doubt about it. I understand that being favored by Director Jiang is our chance.
However, out of responsibility for the project, I would like to ask how much the investment amount of this film is. There is another problem, Director Jiang's arrogance is well-known in the circle, unlike commercial compromise, he is liked by many people.
However, his works are often applauded but not very well-known. In particular, the title of this movie called "Dream Order" sounds more literary, and the risk of this investment is ใใใ"
Gao Xiuling, who is in her forties, is very steady, and she didn't say anything deeper, she saved face for the new director and explained her problems clearly.
Since Dong En proposed this project, he must have considered it thoroughly. Unhurried explanation: "If you just listen to the name, "Like a Dream Order" is indeed a bit literary. But Director Jiang told me that this is a suspenseful light science fiction theme, and it is Director Jiang's work that has been sharpening his sword for three years, and it is still very informative about recovering costs, and Director Jiang even wants to hit the throne of the annual champion.
The production cost of 100 million is indeed not low, but for Director Jiang's fame, it is not much. If it weren't for the fact that I had a good personal relationship with Director Jiang, we wouldn't have been on the investment list. Director Gao, if you have any concerns, you can say them together, my Jedi knows everything. โ
"Thank you, Director Dong, I have no problem for the time being. Gao Xiuling, who replied to Dong En, turned her head to look at Mr. Jiang and said, "Even if it's just a layer, the investment share is 1000W." For such a large investment, I think it is better to conduct a risk assessment first. โ
"Okay, that's fine. Jiang Che, who nodded in agreement with Gao Xiuling, did not forget to comfort Dong En: "Director Dong's meeting gift is really full of weight. I believe everyone can feel it, Director Gao is also cautious, don't be surprised. โ
Dong En, who was originally slightly dissatisfied, heard this, and a little bit of mustard naturally disappeared, and he replied with a wave of his hand: "Director Gao is also right about things and not people, I understand, there will be no opinions." โ
"That's good. Jiang Che chuckled and nodded, then looked at everyone and asked, "Director Dong has given us a charcoal in the snow, does anyone want to add icing on the cake?"
There are many departments in Forbidden City Pictures, but many of them are logistics, finance, personnel, auditing, and behind-the-scenes departments.
There are only a few departments that are really related to program production, planning, and development.
So, everyone's eyes looked at the heads of these three departments.
Zhao Punchou, as the art director who is also the director of the production department, naturally received the most attention.
But he ignored it as if he was nothing, and even played with his mobile phone, looking like he didn't care about himself.
Zhao Punctuality's 'not doing business' is wearing down everyone's patience. Especially Jiang Che, who was despised for the Dao, he was a fire in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth to name him.
was startled by the sudden sound of 'bang'. The words that came to his lips had to be swallowed raw.
Looking at the voice, I happened to hear Zhang Genda, the deputy director of the production department, laughing: "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." โ.
The seat behind him was still lying quietly on the ground. You don't need to ask to know that this goods are in a hurry, and the seat is brought down.
The current conference room is like a classroom during class, Jiang Che is like a teacher asking questions, and everyone is like a student listening to a class.
The scumbags were afraid of being ordered by the teacher, and they didn't dare to move, so they couldn't wait to burrow their heads into the desks.
The top students are not afraid to answer questions, but they have the confidence to look at the teacher.
There is also a handful of scholars who have learned to take the initiative to answer.
In Jiang Che's eyes, Zhang Genda is a god of learning who has learned to answer. Waiting for him to hold up the chair, he said: "Deputy Director Zhang can say anything he wants to say, let's talk freely today,"
"Uh, (โoโ)..."
Zhang Genda was a little hesitant, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Zhao Punctuality. And the latter has long put down the phone and closed his eyes to recuperate.
