Chapter 249: New Year's New Plan
In another office, Lu Lin sat in front of his computer, looking at last year's financial data. Longlin Pictures has gained a lot in 2013, and the biggest entry is naturally box office revenue.
The revenue of the film "Houyi Shooting the Sun" alone reached 2 billion, plus some copyright income, excluding the cost of 300 million 500 million, a film brought 1.665 billion profits to Longlin Pictures.
In contrast, the savings in special effects fees through an investment company registered in the Cayman Islands are a small amount of money.
and "Heart Flower Road", which dominated the 13-year National Day file, had a final box office of 1.31 billion. invested in this piece, with a total production cost of 35 million, Longlin Pictures paid 15 million. In the end, it received a box office revenue of 194 million, and a profit of 179 million.
Coupled with the profit of more than 100 million yuan brought by the TV series "Flower Thousand Bone", and other non-main income such as brokerage business and distribution business, Longlin Pictures' net profit in 2013 exceeded 2 billion. In terms of profitability, it is definitely beating a group of domestic peers.
For example, Huayi, which has always been known as the No. 1 private film industry in the mainland, disclosed in the annual report of a listed company that has just been released that the net profit in 2013 was 627 million, a sharp increase of 153%. This data is a very good performance among many film and television companies, but compared with Longlin Pictures, it is too much worse, less than one-third.
Therefore, many industry insiders and financial elites are speculating about how much the market value should be if Longlin Pictures is listed. It is optimistic that Longlin is likely to become the first film and television company stock with a market value of more than 100 billion yuan in the A-share market. Conservative analysts also feel that Longlin's market value should be above 60 billion.
This gives many people room for reverie, and it can be said that since the success of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", Lu Lin has been very popular wherever he goes, and the situation of being hostile and jealous has greatly changed.
The main reason is that many people want to be close to Lu Lintao, and wait for Longlin Pictures to get some original shares before going public, so as to take the opportunity to make a fortune. And Longlin's employees and artists are afraid that there are many people who have this kind of thought!
However, Lu Lin doesn't think much about this kind of thing for the time being, and the company is not short of money, and the listing is to put on a "tight spell" for himself! But he doesn't say it explicitly, and he lets the employees imagine and have fun, but he is only given more generous in terms of salary, bonuses, and benefits.
"Open door profit" is a thousand yuan red envelope, anyway, the company has a total of less than 200 people, and the "open door profit" of more than 100,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket compared with last year's revenue.
Without waiting for the report to be read, assistant Gao Wen came and knocked on the door, saying that the finance department had prepared all the red envelopes.
Lu Lin got up and said with a smile: "Okay, start giving out red envelopes!" After that, he got up and went out, led a few financial sisters, and began to send red envelopes to all employees of the company.
The people who received it were smiling and saying good things. In the evening, there was a New Year's dinner attended by all employees, wishing a new beginning and a new start in 2014.
In terms of artists, Zhao Liying, Di Lieba, Du Xiaorao, Han Dongjun, Zhang Yishan, Chen He, Zheng Kai, etc. all attended. After all, most companies have new plans for the New Year, and now Longlin Pictures is not short of money, and it is mainly based on film and television production, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of new dramas in 14 years. And how many resources they can get is related to the future prospects of the star journey, which one dares to be careless!
However, at the New Year's dinner, Lu Lin just said some words of encouragement to everyone, and did not mention the 14-year start plan, so that these people were not disappointed. Fortunately, before the end, they were notified to come to the boss's office tomorrow.
Knowing that it was the rhythm of talking one by one, these people spent the night with trepidation. arrived at the company early the next day, and the first person to be called into Lu Lin's office was Reba.
She is the first artist signed by Longlin Pictures, but after "The Alliance of Gods", most of the time she studied in school, and occasionally ran a trick.
Later, Zhao Liying and Du Xiaorao were signed, and the resources given were better than the other, so that some people in the industry said that Lu Lin was like accumulating salary, and he came out on top.
However, now that Reba has "Running Man", she is directly promoted to a first-line actress with variety shows, and her development is not bad.
In the office, Reba sat at his desk and said with a smile: "Brother, it's a good thing to be the first to call me!"
"I'm going to say something bad, do you believe it?" Lu Lin, who was sitting in the boss's chair, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this girl's playful appearance.
Reba's face changed, and he hurriedly reached out and patted his chest, and said pitifully: "Brother, don't scare me, I'm cowardly, besides, you have always taken care of me so well, and the company is developing so well, how can there be anything bad, right?"
Lu Lin felt that his throat was dry, turned his head to the side, and took a sip of tea before saying, "Okay, okay, it's a good thing not to tease you!"
Reba was overjoyed, patted his chest again, and let out a sigh of relief: "I'll just say, scared me to death just now, brother, you're too bad, don't take such a tease in the future!"
Fat Di talked to himself for a while, and saw Lu Lin holding a teacup in his hand, leaning on the back of the chair, with a helpless expression, and sneered: "You say, you say!"
"You're going to be busy this year......"
"Don't worry, I'm the least afraid of hardship!" Fat Di hurriedly made a guarantee, and when he saw Lu Lin glaring at her, he smiled and covered his mouth with his hand.
"You will be a little busier this year, in addition to the guests of "Running Man", I will also tailor some film and television dramas for you. TV series are mainly adapted from some female frequencies, while movies are mainly romance and comedy. ”
Fat Di calculated in his heart that the low cost was certain. However, the three-line attack of movies, television, and variety shows, coupled with Longlin's signature and always excellent quality, not to mention the stable first-line status, can go further.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Thank you brother, thank you Lu Dao, thank you boss, I will work hard to create more profits for the company, come on!"
Lu Lin smiled helplessly and said: "This is what you said, I want to see your results at the end of the year, if you are scolded by the audience for poor acting skills, you will cut resources next year!"
Fat Di was dumbfounded, and his smile instantly turned into a crying face, "Ah, no, don't bring such a scare, brother, you also know how stressful it is to be an artist......
mentioned the word "pressure", thinking of some celebrities being depressed and some artists dying in another time and space, his face finally eased up, and then he smiled: "Okay, take back what you just said." But you have to remember that you are the first artist to sign a contract with Longlin Pictures, and if your development is not smooth or your reputation is not good, it will make me embarrassed. ”
Reba hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, I will work hard, I will be dedicated, and I promise not to lose your people!"
Lu Lin nodded slightly and said, "Go, by the way, call Li Ying in!"
Fat Dile went out, and when Zhao Liying entered the door, compared to the lively Reba, Yingbao was much quieter, sitting on the chair peacefully, that is, a lady and an aura. Although the inner drama will not be less than Fat Di, her temperament is too stable and suitable for being a good wife and mother, but it is not very suitable for Lu Lin!
