392. Reap a bumper harvest
() Gu Meng is a faint gentleman.
for he listened to the woman.
Afterwards, he found Lao Dai and Dou Wei to discuss it a few times, and decided to split the crafting music.
Craft music is divided into three.
Xiangjiang's artisan music studio was sold to Lao Dai for 3 million.
Lao Dai was originally a minority shareholder of Crafts Music, accounting for 30% of the shares.
Although he embezzled some money, Gu Meng didn't blame him.
Everyone is a friend, five or six years of old friendship, good to get together and disperse.
Hanjing's music studio was left to Dou Wei.
Dou Wei began to embark on the road of music creation, and he is also ready to re-start the dream of a band to continue music.
Gu Meng left him a studio, which was regarded as support for him.
One of the most important assets left is the Craft Music Library.
He didn't sell, but asked a Taurus agent.
If anyone wants to cover or use those classic songs, they can pay for them, and the price is clearly marked, and the real money is not forced.
Taurus agents have a commission, and the company's artists can give priority to song selection.
"Gu Sheng, happy cooperation!"
Hong Kong Island, Taurus Music Company, Central.
After the two sides signed the agency contract, the general manager of Taurus Music stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Happy working together!"
After talking about business, Gu Meng and Ms. Deng left the company together.
went downstairs, Ms. Deng immediately complained: "You, what a loser, more than 10 million business, now you don't make a dime, I knew I wouldn't persuade you to close the craft!"
Gu Meng smiled indifferently, "Fifteen million Hong Kong dollars, converted into US dollars is only more than two million, am I the one who lacks two million?"
"If the price is not suitable, you can talk about it, it's better than messing around like you, the cover fee is set at such a high price, does anyone buy it?"
"There must be a wow!"
Gu Meng pulled the car door and said with a smile, "These songs are all classic songs, and they are also popular by us, whoever sings them is popular, the highest price is only more than three million, how cheap, I originally planned to price five million"
"You're crazy about money!"
Gu Meng smiled, not caring about her slander, with dates or not, we are not short of money.
"**, let's go!"
** started the car, and the group drove towards the Central Plaza Hotel.
At the end of the lunar calendar, the company held an annual meeting in the hotel.
"Mr. Gu is here!"
"Mr. Gu is good!"
When Gu Meng arrived at the scene, hundreds of employees in the company got up to say hello.
In the past, everyone saw that Mr. Gu was kind and approachable, and they were not afraid of him, but no one expected that at the end of the year, the company suddenly made a big move and cut the music department at once.
Although the company is still there, those who should go to work are still working, but without the care of the craftsman headquarters, without the support of Gu Meng, a talented man, and without Wang Xiaofei, what is left of that studio?
There is no core in the music department, can the remaining employees live a good life with Dai Zhicheng?
Everyone is reluctant to follow in the footsteps of the music department, because they are very attentive to Gu Meng.
"Hello everyone, feel free!"
Gu Meng greeted and came to the middle table.
At this table, there are Sister Deng, Wang Xiaofei, Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Xingchi and other company backbones, heads of various departments, and He Guanchang, a shareholder of the company who was invited.
After the meeting, Sister Deng, the general manager, delivered a speech on behalf of Gu Meng.
This year, the company has shot a total of five films, mainly Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical series, and also participated in the investment of eight films, mainly Jiahe, Yindu, and Shaw Brothers films, among which Zhong Chuhong and Qiu Shuzhen participated.
A total of thirteen films, the box office of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" in Hong Kong exceeded 50 million, once again creating a box office record in Hong Kong, and the box office of "Truant Weilong 2" reached more than 47 million, proving the vitality of this series.
The rest of the films are quite good at the box office and reviews, and they are selling well in other cities.
Together, these films have generated nearly 110 million net profits for craftsmanship.
This number is not only better than Jiahe, but also better than film companies such as Shaw Brothers, New Arts City, Golden Princess, and Yongsheng.
It is also because the film department is too powerful that Gu Meng and Sister Deng decided to close the music department, and they are willing to make movies, and it is a bit of a waste of energy to take care of music, which is not cost-effective.
In fact, in addition to the thirteen films invested by Xiangjiang, Artisan also invested in three movies and two TV series in the mainland, making some small profits, and they didn't count together.
The company made 100 million yuan, but Sister Deng said when she announced, "In 1990, with the joint efforts of our colleagues, our craftsmanship has achieved gratifying results, and the profit of craftsmanship has reached... 150 million"
"Wow~, 150 million!"
"Daihatsu!"
There was a burst of exclamations from those present.
Sister Deng was very satisfied with the effect of the scene, she pressed her hand, and everyone calmed down again and listened to her.
"The company has made money, and everyone's support is indispensable, and I would like to reward outstanding contributors on behalf of the company!"
Heavily?
Hearing this, everyone was excited, who are the outstanding contributors?
Some secretly clenched their fists.
Sister Deng was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and she shouted loudly: "First place, Ah Xing!"
Zhou Xingchi smiled, said hello to Gu Meng and the others, and happily walked to the small stage.
"Bang Bang!"
Everyone heard his name, no one raised objections, Zhou Xingchi is the trump card of craftsmanship, with this trump card can lead peers, in order to create such a big profit, the first one called Zhou Xingchi has nothing to blame.
The person who presented the award, He Guanchang.
He Lao smiled and took out a check, "In recognition of Ah Xing's contribution to the company, the company has decided to reward 5 million!"
"Wow!"
"5 million!"
"Ah Xing, remember to have a treat!"
Everyone is envious to death.
Gu Meng smiled, there were three reasons for the reward of five million.
One is to stabilize Zhou Xingchi's mind.
Zhou Xingchi has become a first-line superstar, a little floating, sometimes he doesn't greet the company when he takes on the scene outside, and he doesn't know until the movie is released, so it is often rumored that Zhou Xingchi is going to change jobs, which makes the company very passive.
This time, he was given a heavy reward, hoping that he would not be fooling around all day long, and would cooperate with the company for five years with peace of mind, and he would never lose his money.
Second, in order to show outsiders, the company focuses on making movies, and there are too few personnel in the film and television department at present, and it plans to recruit newcomers and old people next year, and five million is a gimmick.
Third, in order to motivate insiders, he abolished the music department, and everyone was a little panicked, and they needed to spend some money to stabilize people's hearts.
Zhou Xingchi happily accepted the award, but he didn't forget to thank the company and Gu Meng, "Thank you Gu Sheng, 88 years ago, I was just a small role in wireless, after joining the craftsman, Gu Sheng personally wrote the script and praised me as the protagonist, several of my big productions are written by Gu Sheng, and I can have my current achievements by Gu Sheng's cultivation..."
Zhou Xingchi said, remembering the scene when the two met for the first time in 88, there were Zhou Runfa and Hua Zi at that banquet, but Gu Meng actually came to talk to him, fully respecting himself, which made him feel moved.
He bowed to the audience, "Gu Sheng, thank you!"
Gu Meng waved his hand and smiled, "Ah Xing is polite, you deserve it! If you want to thank me, I'll have a few more drinks later!"
"Haha, okay, don't get drunk tonight!"
Zhou Xingchi laughed a few times and walked off the stage.
Then the company commended the remaining group of people, Liu Guangtai, the head of the film department, and Zhong Chuhong, the director of the brokerage department, each with 2 million, and the directors of several blockbuster movies were each rewarded with 800,000 yuan.
The rest of the people are under 500,000, everyone has a reward, and everyone is very happy.
"Gu Meng, you took out more than 10 million Fali City at one time, it's really a big deal!"
At the table, He Guanchang gave a thumbs up and exclaimed.
Gu Meng shook his head and smiled: "Let He Sheng see it and laugh, there are few people in the craftsman company, and I dare to make a small fuss, if it is a big company like Jiahe, I will definitely not dare to do this!"
He Guanchang smiled, "It's righteous enough, you can make a fortune with you!"
Gu Meng smiled, in fact, he didn't like to use this way to win people's hearts, because these people have money and their minds become wild, actors want to be directors and producers, directors want to start a company... It's hard to manage.
In the circle, he most agrees with Uncle Shao's approach, suppressing the actors' salaries and using the money for charity.
For actors, low pay is not a bad thing.
The entertainment industry and the literary industry have a commonality, only by staying poor will they be inspired and create better works.
A poor actor will spend more time practicing his acting skills and works.
Uncle Shao's method is very good, but craftsmanship can't do this, who doesn't look at money now?
He sighed, and heard He Guanchang ask again, "Gu Meng, are your legs and feet better, can you act?"
"It's almost good, no problem with the shooting!"
Last time he was in a plane accident, but it was a blessing in disguise, his legs and feet were much better, and he would not lose control from time to time like before.
He Guanchang listened and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, when will you be able to join the group for filming?"
"The special effects and actors are all done?"
Jiahe plans to shoot King Liwang first.
This film is adapted from a comic, and the content was too bloody before to be watched by the age group, and Gu Meng's name is too big, so it is a waste of resources to make this kind of film.
After several discussions, it was decided to adapt the original.
After the adaptation, there is a lot less bloody content, and a lot of more exciting elements have been added.
For example, the protagonist fights with foreign strong men, and the protagonist fights with lions and tigers, like the Colosseum.
There is also the content of drag racing, which is to prepare for the filming of Fast and Furious in the future, and several beautiful characters have also been added.
The style of the movie is close to that of Hollywood movies and is suitable for all ages.
However, after the change, a lot of special effects and special actors are required, and it is more difficult to shoot.
Gu Meng was a little skeptical.
"Don't worry, we hired the Hollywood production team, and there is absolutely no problem with the special effects"
"Then I'm fine, let's start after the New Year!"
"Okay, happy cooperation!"
