When Hong Chen woke up from his sleep, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

Yan Yileng got up early and was outside to help Ding Meimei clean up the housework.

Ding Meimei smiled happily and secretly said that she was really a good girl.

Hong Chen opened his phone and looked at it, his WeChat had exploded, and there were dozens of unread messages.

He opened it and looked at it, and there were many congratulatory messages sent to him.

Hong Chen's status is different now, as the owner of the studio, his power is not small, and many people want to tie up with Hong Chen.

There are still a few missed calls on the mobile phone, and those who can call him are either not low in status or have a good relationship with him.

Xu Zheng, Wu Zhan, and Ge Chen all have them.

Hong Chen first went back to Xu Zheng and said that he had just woken up.

"You kid has such a good mentality, your movie is so popular, you can still sleep until now, I thought you would wake up from a dream with a smile. Xu Zheng made a joke.

Xu Zheng invested a lot in this movie, and he was naturally very happy when the movie was a big hit at the box office.

"Haha, thank you, when this year is over, I will hold a celebration banquet, and when the time comes, I will personally invite Director Xu to come over, you must appreciate it." Hong Chen responded politely.

"Don't worry, definitely. Xu Zheng said with a smile again.

Xu is a shrewd person, and he knows that the current Hong Chen is not only an actor in an entertainment company, but the owner of a studio.

This means that Hong Chen has his own capital behind him.

Moreover, "Detective Chinatown" seems to have been successful, which shows that Hong Chen's studio has the potential to develop.

Relationships have to get along well, of course.

Then, Hong Chen called Wu Zhan, Ge Chen and others back in turn.

"By the way, there is one more thing, since it is a studio, we also have the right to sign artists, and Lu Jia, a girl, has good development prospects, how about signing her in?"

"Okay, go to Lu Jia in the next year and sign her in. Hong Chen was more satisfied with Lu Jia, and Ge Chen's request naturally agreed.

Now he is a boss who can decide on other people's contracts.

Hong Chen took a shower, changed into loose clothes and came out of the room. Ding Meimei was showing Yan Yileng photos of Hong Chen when he was a child, and a few of them were still wearing open crotch pants, which suddenly made Hong Chen a little helpless.

However, he didn't say much during this meeting.

A few days later, as expected, "Detective Chinatown" began to exert force, and the box office caught up.

The film scheduling ratio has also risen all the way, from the initial 8% to 28%, a full 20% increase in film scheduling.

In terms of the final box office results, the first is "Journey to the West", in any case, the name that the director is a star is enough to make people pay for the movie.

"Detective Chinatown" relied on word-of-mouth to cut the second place at the box office.

The final result was 2.46 billion for "Journey to the West", 2.1 billion for "Detective Chinatown", 1.4 billion for "Kung Fu Yoga", 1.2 billion for "Aomen Fengyun 3", and 1.17 billion for "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits".

For this result, the bosses behind the scenes of several movies are more satisfied, because in any case, they have paid off.

After that, Hong Chen returned to Kyoto and went to Yan's house with Yan Yileng for the holiday.

Hong Chen and Yan Chi are discussing the box office.

In general, the sharing of the box office is complicated, first of all, 5% of the total box office as a tax.

The after-tax box office is called the divisible box office, with theaters taking 50%, theaters taking 7%, and the remaining 43% being split between the producer and the distributor.

Excluding the money of the distributor, the producer can generally get 40% of the box office revenue.

This is a normal situation, and all films will be no exception to this situation, no matter how big the director is, how big the actor, the producer gets about 40% of the income.

It's almost 33%, it's better than 45%, and it's in this range.

In other words, the total box office income of "Detective Chinatown" is 2.1 billion, and it is almost 800 million in the hands of Hong Chen, where Xu Zheng and Wu Zhan have investment, and the two of them account for 1/8 of the investment ratio, and a total of nearly 100 million.

Yan Chi also has a share of accounts, but not much, he is mainly a director and investor, and he takes 100 million.

Yan Yileng invested 30 million, and the investment ratio was twice that of Xu Zheng and Wu Zhan combined, but Yan Yileng said that he didn't want to take too much, and in the end, Hong Chen still gave her 100 million.

Although they are boyfriend and girlfriend, they still have to be clear about the money, and Hong Chen doesn't want to estranged the two of them because of this little thing.

Hong Chen gambled on his total net worth of more than 50 million, and the investment cost was about 90 million, and after the end of this movie, his total assets became 500 million and his net income was 400 million.

This is the profit that comes from grasping the market.

Of course, strength is also one thing, and the average producer will never consider the Spring Festival file, because except for big-budget movies, the rest of the movies don't even have a scheduling rate, and they are cannon fodder if they go.

Other entertainment companies that once refused to invest in Hongchen were all remorseful when they saw the result now.

The Spring Festival stall is also a time for entertainment companies to make money, and they often invest in several movies to make a lot of money.

It's a pity that the investors of Yan Chi and Hong Chen were not optimistic about the prospects at that time, so basically no one invested.

This also caused Hong Chen to be forced to gamble his entire net worth, with the highest risk in exchange for the highest return.

After getting rich, the confidence was suddenly different, and Hong Chen also gave a large year-end bonus to the members of the studio, and everyone was grateful to this boss.

Originally, they were hired by Ge Chen from Huahai to Hong Chen's studio, and they were still a little apprehensive in their hearts, worried that the future would not be good, but this year-end bonus suddenly made them die.

"Detective Chinatown" also led a wave of trends during the Spring Festival, although it was quickly forgotten after the Spring Festival, it was still a successful commercial movie.

"What's next?" asked Hong Chen to Yan Chi.

Hong Chen and Yan Chi are now friends and partners, and they have the same goals and are like-minded, so the relationship is getting better and better.

"Whew, take a good rest for a month or two and experience life. I don't work as hard as you, although I want to achieve success in the directing industry, but the profession of directing requires a period of rest and slowing down, and then polishing the script well, and then start work when everything is ready. Yan Chi shrugged and said.

After thinking about it, he said again: "Anyway, "Tang Detective 2" will be filmed in the second half of the year, you keep the schedule, this one is more exciting, I will plan well after a while." ”

Hong Chen nodded, "That's no problem." ”

The operation of the studio needs funds, and he must make this kind of commercial film that can make money and have a good reputation.

"What about you, what are your plans?" Yan Chi asked him again.

Hong Chen thought for a while and said quietly: "Find a good script and make a good movie." ”

"Hahaha, I wish you success!" Yan Chi gave him a thumbs up.

After the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, people started working one after another. Hong Chen made an appointment with Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi to meet in his new studio.

Hong Chen's handiwork is not small, his new studio is in a commercial office building in the center of Kyoto, covering an entire floor, with an annual rent of about 30 million.

"Hello boss!" The front desk lady of the studio saw Hong Chen appear, and immediately went up to greet him with a smile.

This is the first time Hong Chen has come to work in his studio, and Ge Chen has been arranging it before, including setting the venue, recruiting relevant personnel in planning, copywriting, publicity, justice, finance, etc., all of which are Ge Chen's work.

"Hello. Hong Chen was very polite and smiled kindly at the front desk lady. He doesn't have much of a fight, and he won't be like some people who have to do anything after they are in a high position.

Ge Chen came out to greet him as soon as possible, and Wang Shaoqi was also there. The two of them accompanied Hong Chen to the depths of the studio, one left and one right, and along the way, the members of the studio looked at each other.

Because Hongchen is the core of their daily work, their most important job is to protect Hongchen's interests.

This scene has a bit of the flavor of a domineering president in a Korean drama.

The three of them came to the conference room, and the conference room was beautifully decorated.

"How's it going? What's the latest good script?"

After Hong Chen sat down, he asked with concern.

Hearing this, Ge Chen put a few documents on the table and began to introduce the resources in her hand.
