Chapter 283: Chinese New Year
On February 10th, the Spring Festival is approaching, Zhou Bai and Yuan Yu invited everyone in the studio to have a meal, and wrapped the New Year's red envelope, the studio has developed rapidly this year, and the current staff has exceeded 40 people, especially in the area of publicity and distribution, and many new people have been recruited.
At present, the distribution channel of Bai Xiang Studio is being established, but Rome was not built in a day, and the distribution channel still relies on the power of China Film, and it is very dependent on China Film, this situation Zhou Bai knows that it cannot last long, so it is necessary to establish his own distribution channel.
A "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss", a "First Love Fifty Times", let Zhou Bai make a lot of money, although the expenses are also a lot, but there is no problem in a good year.
The total profit brought by "Fifty First Loves" to Bai Xiang Studio alone is more than 60 million, plus the advertising revenue of Zhou Bai and Yuan Xiang, the current Bai Xiang Studio can be said to be rich and arrogant, and it is not bad for money at all.
The movie is like this, if it succeeds, it will make a lot of profits, and the domestic box office profit will be more than 15 million, which doesn't seem to be a lot, but the DVD copyright has also sold 5 million, plus there is follow-up copyright income, it is not a hammer deal.
"Fifty Times of First Love" is selling very well in Southeast Asia, and the box office of various countries can be said to be a big hit, although European countries do not have box office accounts, but there is a lot of money in the sale of copyrights, two or three hundred thousand US dollars for the copyright of a country, these are almost pure profits, and the accumulation is very scary.
The income of "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss" is much less than that of "Fifty First Loves", almost more than 20 million, the domestic box office is negligible, it is DVD and copyright income, and it is almost close to 70 million profits in addition to the expenses of Bai Xiang Studio this year, which is simply scary.
This is why Zhang Weiping is in a hurry to cooperate with Bai Xiang Studio, Hua Yi dares to invest 10 million directly, they are very good at calculating accounts, although they only account for 25% of the profit sharing, but this is almost certainly a profitable deal, and it is a fool not to invest.
The advertising sponsorship of "Fifty First Loves" does not receive much, but it is different when it comes to "Painless Love", even if it is a literary film, it is also a modern love literary film, there are not too many places where you can advertise, plus the fame of Gong Li and Zhou Bai, sponsors are simply flocking.
The investment of 10 million in the new picture, 10 million investment in Huayi, and 10 million investment in Baixiang Studio, by the time all the actors were confirmed, half of the investment had been recovered, that is to say, more than 15 million advertising sponsorship costs alone had been recovered, which was the source of confidence for Zhang Weiping and the Wang brothers.
Now there are more than 50 million funds in the account of Bai Xiang Studio, and a lot of money has been removed, otherwise it would be very simple for Bai Xiang Studio to have hundreds of millions of funds.
The reason why Zhou Bai moved the money away is very simple, because Google has carried out another round of financing, and if he wants to retain 4.5% of the shares, he must invest money in it, and this money will be at least ten times more than ten times when Google goes public in 04, and Zhou Bai is full of confidence in this.
If you have money, you will naturally not be stingy, everyone has a big red envelope, at least 5,000 for the less, and 50,000 or 60,000 for the more, like Liu Guoyang and Lin Chufang and Yuan Xi, each of them got a year-end bonus and dividends of 670,000 yuan before the Spring Festival, which is a lot of money.
The studio's ability to have this achievement is inseparable from the efforts of Liu Guoyang, Lin Chufang and Yuan Xi, Zhou Bai will definitely not be stingy with these core personnel of the studio who have worked hard and worked hard, these people want to buy a house in the capital, it is a matter of minutes.
Xiao Li and Xiao Chen, who were promoted, also had a year-end bonus plus dividends of more than 100,000 yuan, and the red envelopes given to them by Zhou Bai were not small, 30,000 yuan per person, and even Xiaocao had a red envelope of 20,000 yuan.
In a jubilant mood, a year's hard work came to an end, everyone was very satisfied, and after explaining the follow-up work, Zhou Bai got on the plane with Yuan Xiang and Yuan Xi and flew to Yuan Xiang's home.
"Hello uncle and aunt, this is a little gift I brought, little care, please accept it. Seeing his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhou Bai naturally did not come empty-handed, offering red wine, supplements, brand-name watches and bags, and striving to brush up on their goodwill in front of them.
"It's good for people to come, don't buy so many things, Yuan Yuan, you are really, how can you let Xiaobai spend money indiscriminately?" Mother Yuan took the gift from Zhou Bai's hand and said reproachfully, she is not that kind of snobbish person, and she feels that her daughter should not be in this regard.
"Auntie, you blame her, I insisted on taking it, some of the things were given by friends, and I can't use them myself, so I just brought them to you to use, you are welcome. Zhou Bai said with a smile.
Some of these things were indeed given by others, but the watches and bags were naturally picked by Zhou Bai and Yuan Yu, and it was natural to make money and spend money to please his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he was not an ascetic, so there was no need to be so himself.
In fact, speaking of which, Yuan Yang herself is also a little rich woman, she now has millions of money that she can use, how can she be short of money, and she hasn't been home for so long, so she naturally has to honor her parents.
How does Yuan's father and Yuan's mother see how Zhou Bai is satisfied, not to mention a talent, the ability to make money is still big, and now the reputation is high, and what is more precious is that I have never heard of any scandal with a female star, and I respect them very much, so at the dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, the dishes in Zhou Bai's bowl have not been finished, and I almost survived.
There are those who are satisfied, and there are naturally those who are dissatisfied, Yuan Xi feels as if she is not biological, because she did not bring her boyfriend home this year, and was pulled into the room by Yuan's mother for a while, which made her head and two big, and she looked at Zhou Bai and Yuan Yan with annoyance.
Showing affection must be pulling hatred, which has already made Yuan Xi roll her eyes, but the treatment Yuan Xi received is very different from Zhou Bai and Yuan Xiang, and it is strange that she can balance her heart, so she said sourly: "I don't think I'm my own, you are." ”
Zhou Bai expressed great sympathy for Yuan Xi's experience, and couldn't do anything, who made himself so popular, isn't it normal for such an excellent son-in-law to be closer than his daughter?
He accepted hospitality at Yuan Xiang's house for a few days, Yuan's father and Yuan's mother were so good to him that they couldn't be better, all kinds of praise, all kinds of enthusiasm, even Yuan Xiang tasted it, saying that every time he came to Zhou, he felt that he was left out.
Zhou Bai was naturally stunned, but he didn't expect him to be retributed soon, and when he took Yuan Yang home in the third year of junior high school, the situation was reversed, and he became superfluous.
Zhou Bai's mother and father's enthusiasm for Yuan Yan simply made Zhou Bai jealous, this is not what a daughter is, after returning home, Zhou Bai's dishes in the bowl can only be sandwiched by himself, and even Zhou Bai himself found that his sense of existence can't even be compared to a Wang Xingren.
That's right, in addition to Yuan Yang being pampered by Zhou Bai's parents, there is also a puppy named Chengcheng in the house who competes with Zhou Bai for favor, this time he is tragic, his nose is not a nose, his eyes are not eyes, that bad heart is simply sad for those who see and cry when he hears it.
Even Zhou Bai's grandfather and uncle are no exception, they are satisfied with Yuan Yu in every way, and take care of Chengcheng in every way, only Zhou Bai, he finally understands Yuan Xi's feelings.
