In the early morning of February 7, 2007, after a heavy snowfall the night before, the trees along the streets of Kyoto were no longer bare, but covered in snow.

Let this indifferent city have a touch of romance.

Yesterday afternoon, Peng Yichen just sent Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang away.

Today, he came to the company early to give year-end bonuses to the employees who have been busy for more than half a year, so that they can go home for the New Year with peace of mind.

Although "Chen Jing Studio" has just been established for half a year, under the management of Sun Yizou, the big housekeeper, it has become orderly and talented.

Coupled with the more than 20 behind-the-scenes film staff who jumped from Chang'an Film Studio at the beginning, there are more than 50 employees in Chenjing Studio.

These employees were arranged by Sun Yizou to the shooting department, post-production department, publicity and distribution department, human resources administrative department, and financial and legal department.

Peng Yichen sat at the top of the long table in the conference room, looking at the studio employees who filled the conference room, and felt a little emotional for a while.

It's not that he hasn't seen this kind of scene, after all, he has been a great general in the world of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".

It's just that in the real world, it was the first time he felt this kind of feeling of being the boss.

The meeting soon began, and although Peng Yichen sat in the first place, he was more of a "mascot".

After the establishment of the studio, Sun Yizou presided over most of the work, so at the beginning of the meeting, he summarized the development of the studio this year.

"Chen Jing Studio has been established for nearly 7 months. Although compared to many established entertainment companies, we are still just a newborn. But we have achieved more than many companies. Below, let me summarize the film and television works produced by the studio in the past 7 months and the income.

First of all, when the company was just established, it cooperated with Huimin Film and Television Company and Dongxing Film Company to shoot the movie "One Man, Martial Arts". For this film, Huimin Film and Television and Dongxing Film invested 22 million respectively, and Chen Jing Studio invested 5 million. According to the contract, the studio can share 10% of the final box office, DVD, TV station copyright purchase and other revenues. But because the movie is still in production of post-production special effects, it cannot be released for the time being, and the planned release time is from the end of May to the beginning of June, that is, it will be released in the summer of this year. ”

After speaking, Sun Yizou looked at Peng Yichen and asked him if there was anything he needed to add.

Peng Yichen shook his head and asked him to continue.

The studio's second project is "Full of Gold and Jade" filmed in cooperation with Xiangjiang Fanglong Film Company. The total investment in the filming of this film is more than 11 million, and the studio did not contribute, only bearing 3 million for the publicity and distribution of Huaxia.

According to the agreement signed between the studio and Fang Long Film Company, the studio can share 70% of the box office and other revenues in the mainland market.

At the same time, according to Mr. Peng's arrangement, 50% of the 70% of the proceeds will be used to set up a charity fund for film industry workers.

I have already communicated with Huimin Film and Television Company about this matter, and Mr. Gu is very supportive, so we can start to set up this fund after the year.

At present, "Full of Gold and Jade" has basically been screened. In terms of cinemas, the first batch of box office shares has been transferred to the company's account. It is expected that all the box office revenue will be received in the next month.

After calculation, of the total box office of 650 million yuan of "Full House of Gold and Jade", the box office share income we can get is about 310 million yuan, and the after-tax income is about 232 million yuan.

30% of this income needs to be paid to Fang Long Film Company, and 50% will be used to set up a charitable fund.

In the end, the actual income brought by "Full of Gold and Jade" to the studio was: 81.2 million. Of course, if you add the income from DVD distribution and copyright sales, it is expected that the final income of this film to the studio should exceed 100 million yuan.

According to the agreement reached between Mr. Peng and Huimin Film and Television Company when the studio was established, the studio does not need to pay dividends to shareholders in the first three years of its establishment.

So, we can put all the proceeds into the company's film and television projects this year. That is to say, in 2007, not counting the income of "One Man, Martial Arts", we also have more than 100 million yuan of liquidity that can be used for film shooting or other investments. ”

Sun Yizou quickly finished talking about the development of the studio.

Peng Yichen then said: "In the past six months, relying on everyone's joint efforts, the studio's performance has been thriving, and everyone is also working hard. I discussed it with Mr. Sun, and after giving you the year-end bonus today, except for those who live in Kyoto, one person should be left on duty in the company every day, and everyone else can go home for the New Year. After the year, from the eighth day of the new year, I will go to work normally. ”

As soon as Peng Yichen's words were finished, all the young people in the studio cheered.

"Long live the boss!!"

"Thank you, Mr. Peng. ”

……

The studio's year-end summary meeting ended quickly.

After all the staff left the conference room, Sun Yizou closed the door of the conference room, leaving Peng Yichen and him in the conference room.

"Old Sun, the studio is running so well, thanks to you. Starting next year, your annual salary will rise to 800,000 a year, although the studio will not be able to pay dividends for three years. But starting next year, you'll get a commission of 0.5% of the studio's total revenue every year. This is what I discussed with Mr. Gu of Huimin Company two days ago. When I come back after the New Year, you will invite me to dinner. Peng Yichen said to Sun Yizou with a smile.

I didn't expect Peng Yichen to be so generous, and directly doubled his income and added a commission.

Sun Yizou shook his head and smiled: "I'm actually very satisfied with my current income, and I am also one of the shareholders of the studio. But I still want to thank Mr. Peng for giving me a salary increase. ”

Peng Yichen smiled and waved his hand: "This is what you deserve, without you, I wouldn't be able to manage so many things in the studio." ”

Sun Yizou also smiled and said, "But if you want to treat me, you should still invite me to dinner." I'll give you the math of your personal income this year. ”

Peng Yichen knew that Sun Yizou left him, and he must have something to talk to him about that he couldn't make public, but he didn't expect that it was to calculate his annual income.

To say that Peng Yichen himself is really not clear about how much money is in the account now. He nodded and listened carefully to Sun Yizou calculating his personal income.

Sun Yizou took out Peng Yichen's financial statements of personal income and expenditure from his briefcase, and said to Peng Yichen: "In 2006, your personal income mainly came from three aspects. The largest part is the revenue share of "Twelve Warriors". You already know the box office split, about 24 million. 12 million ...... from the sale of post-DVD and broadcast rights"

When Peng Yichen heard this, he immediately interrupted him and asked: "Why is the later income of "Twelve Warriors" so high, I got 12 million by myself, and Huimin Film and Television is estimated to earn more than 20 million." ”

Sun Yizou smiled and nodded, "Because "Twelve Warriors" is supported by the government, especially the units of the judicial system. That's why CDs sell a lot. Many local television stations have bought the broadcasting rights. So the benefits in this area are much more than other movies. "One Man, Martial Arts" was not released, and "Full of Gold" was invested in the name of the studio, so you can't get a share of these two movies. ”

Peng Yichen nodded, at first he chose to shoot "Twelve Warriors", just because this movie is very classic, and the shooting cost and shooting difficulty are not high.

At that time, I really didn't expect to attract the attention and support of the state.

Now that I think about it, I really didn't intend to insert willows into the shade.

Sun Yizou saw that he had no doubts, and then said: "The second part of the income is your screenwriter's income. "Twelve Warriors" because you are one of the investors, there is no income in terms of scripts. The script income you get from the three movies "Groundhog Day", "One Person, Martial Arts" and "Full of Gold and Jade" is: 1 million, 1.5 million, and 100,000 respectively. "Full of Gold and Jade" because all the stars in Xiangjiang are starred with zero pay. So your script also charges a friendship price. But it is estimated that there is a box office result of "Full of Gold". By next year, you will have to write a minimum of 2.5 million scripts. ”

Peng Yichen nodded, and calculated in his heart that the box office share plus the screenwriter's income seems to be more than 38 million.

"The third part is your salary. Not counting "Twelve Warriors", a movie that you personally invested. This year, you have starred in a total of three movies: "Groundhog Day", "One Man, Martial Arts", and "Full of Gold and Jade", with a salary of 3 million, 5.5 million, and 100,000 respectively. plus the salary of 150,000 yuan for "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" you starred in last year, which was only settled this year.

So, your salary income this year is a total of 8.75 million. Because after the establishment of the studio, the economic contract between you and Hui Min's actor was terminated. Therefore, except for the remuneration company of "Groundhog Day", you can get all the other salaries. So, in the end, your salary income is about 7.3 million. ”

Peng Yichen asked curiously: "How much is my salary for a movie now?"

Sun Yizou thought for a while, "After the box office of "Full of Gold and Jade" exceeded 500 million, a total of 13 crews quoted prices to the studio and wanted to invite you to appear in movies and TV series. One of the movies with the highest bid is willing to pay you 7 million. ”

Peng Yichen smiled and shook his head, he didn't know that his salary was so high now.

Sun Yizou said that he had actually read the scripts of these movies, but he didn't care about the salary at that time. Because the scripts of those movies are too badly written, it is impossible for him to star in it no matter how much money is given.

"In 2006, all your income added up to about 45.9 million yuan. Subtract the 110,000 you invested in "Twelve Warriors" and the 3 million you invested in the studio. Your net income last year was 42.79 million yuan. Sun Yizou finally concluded.

Peng Yichen pretended to smile faintly, "Very good, it's okay." ”

Sun Yizou smiled: "If you want to laugh, don't hold back." ”

"Hahaha!!"
