Chapter 350: Variety Show Ideas

"Senior sister, you're finally here, if you don't come again, we won't wait for you to get ready to start." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

The meeting was scheduled to start at nine o'clock, but it wasn't until nine o'clock that Xu Jinglei hurriedly walked into the conference room.

"There was a traffic jam on the road, and you know how congested it was on Friday mornings in Kyoto." Xu Jinglei smiled apologetically.

"Who told you to sleep lazy and not go out early." Lin Yuquan shook his head with the corners of his mouth upturned: "Okay, senior sister, you sit next to Brother Hao, since all the people are here, then the year-end meeting of our Dawning system will officially start now, first of all, the person in charge of each company will summarize the business situation of their respective companies last year, and Dawning Film will take the lead!" ”

"Okay, boss, our Shuguang Film's total revenue last year was 1.011 billion yuan, the total profit after deducting the company's various expenses was 635 million yuan, and the net profit after tax was 431 million yuan." Ding Wei paused at this point.

"Wow!" Hearing the number of words read out by Ding Zhi, in addition to Lin Yuquan and several managers of Shuguang Films, who have long been known, as well as Chang Jihong, Gao Xixi, Ning Hao and others who participated in last year's year-end meeting, the faces of those who came to participate in the year-end meeting for the first time all showed a look of horror, God, more than 400 million net profits, this number, even if it is put into all walks of life in China, there are not too many companies that can reach it, not to mention that in film and television companies, it may even sit on the mainland distribution of Hollywood blockbusters, control the huge cinema chain, The profits of the film giant China Film, which operates a business covering all film industry chains, may not be comparable.

Chen Kaige took a deep breath, he knew that Shuguang Film was rich, but he didn't expect it to be rich to such a point, Shuguang Film is definitely the most profitable film and television company in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait, he can be sure that because he knows the operation of China Film, as a company with 14 wholly-owned subsidiaries, 34 holding and shareholding companies and 1 directly affiliated institution, China Film with an asset market value of nearly 4 billion yuan is undoubtedly the leading brother in China's film and television enterprises, but its profitability is surprisingly weak, due to the large number of institutions and the number of employees, The annual operating costs of China Film are extremely high, and China Film is a national enterprise, which needs to undertake the task of investing in many literary films and red films whose profits cannot be predicted, so the annual profit of China Film, which seems to be a behemoth, is only tens of millions of dollars per year. Not to mention compared with Dawning Movies, even Huayi Brothers and Poly Warner can't compare.

Seeing everyone's looks, Ding Wei had a smile on his face and continued: "Among them, the largest income in terms of movies is the profit share of 68.3 million US dollars from the DVD and TV on demand of "Painted Skin", followed by the box office share of 168 million yuan and overseas copyright income brought by "Painted Wall", with a profit of 43.17 million yuan, "Crazy Racing" has an income of 79.6 million yuan and a profit of 38.45 million yuan, and "Dream into Reality" has an income of 8.72 million yuan and a profit of 2.1 million yuan. In addition, the revenue of "Love Call Transfer 2" last year was 23.17 million yuan, if you add the part as of last weekend, the income was 33.93 million yuan, in addition to the audio and video rights from the rest of the previous films and other income of 11 million, so last year's statistics, the total income of the film was 802 million yuan, and the profit was 600 million yuan. ”

Hearing the number jù recited by Ding Zhi, almost everyone looked at Lin Yuquan who was sitting at the top with a calm expression with respect, especially the old people of Shuguang, who had made great strides in the development of the entire Shuguang system after having abundant financial support over the years.

Although his expression is calm, Lin Yuquan is very satisfied with the achievements of Shuguang Films, although after deducting the factor of "Painted Skin", Shuguang Films' profit in terms of movies last year was only about 90 million yuan, even if the follow-up income of "Love Call Transfer 2" this year is added, the total profit is only about 120 million yuan, which is quite insignificant compared with the profits contributed by "Painted Skin", but such results are already the best among domestic film and television companies, like Huayi Brothers, their profits from all businesses, including movies, TV series, music, theaters, and brokerage businesses, may not add up to that much.

Ding Zhi continued without stopping: "In terms of TV dramas, the highest income is 67.7 million yuan for "Deer and Ding Ji", with a profit of 26.46 million, followed by "Latent" with an income of 46.7 million and a profit of 15.2 million, "I am a special soldier 2" with an income of 40.1 million and a profit of 13.5 million, "Ice is Sleeping Water" with an income of 26.85 million and a profit of 10.14 million, "Double-sided Tape" with a revenue of 20.4 million and a profit of 7.38 million, in addition to the 7.4 million income contributed by TV dramas in previous years, Therefore, the total income of TV dramas last year was 208 million, and the total profit was 80.08 million. ”

There is no doubt that this is another extremely amazing number, after the accumulation period of the first two years, Shuguang Film's boutique TV series strategy has received rich returns, and in addition to rich economic returns, Shuguang Film has also become the best TV series manufacturer in China, "Happiness is Like Flowers", "I Am Special Forces" series, "Soldier Assault", "New Shanghai Beach", "Deer and Ding Ji", "Latent", a series of high-quality TV series, so that the slogan of "Shuguang production, must be a high-quality product" is more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Often, as soon as the news of the TV series of the Dawning Film came out to prepare for filming, major TV stations flocked to negotiate the broadcast rights, and at the same time, countless young audiences began to look forward to the broadcast of the series.

"Okay, last year's Dawning film results were very gratifying, and we now congratulate them with warm applause." Lin Yuquan smiled, and after everyone's applause stopped, he looked at Chang Jihong and said, "Sister Chang, next you will introduce the situation of the Yuquan family." ”

"Okay, boss." Chang Jihong nodded: "Last year was undoubtedly a year when our Yuquan family continued to break out, in last year's Forbes China Celebrity List, we had a total of 13 people on the list, of which 3 people entered the top 10 of the income list, 13 people are in the top 70 of the income list, and even if there are no people on the list, the income is also very considerable, among them, aside from the 92 million income of the boss to the company, the highest income is 34.6 million of Zhouxun, followed by Liu Yifei's 23.5 million, Xu Jinglei's 21.7 million, Liu Ye's 18.3 million, Jiang Wenli's 16.2 million, Gao Yuanyuan's 11.4 million, and Xu Zheng's 10.8 million In the end, the total income of our artists, directors, and screenwriters is 184 million, and the brokerage revenue obtained by the company's artists is 33 million, and the final net profit is 13.6 million yuan. ”

The annual profit of Yuquan family, which is the most popular in the mainland, is only about 13 million, and when they heard the number reported by Chang Jihong, the faces of the first-time participants inevitably showed a look of surprise, which was really unexpected, in their opinion. I'm afraid that some brokerage companies that are not as strong as Yuquan Family will earn higher profits than it, such as Huayi Brothers, Orange Sky Entertainment, and Haiyu Brokerage.

However, Lin Yuquan is quite satisfied with this, he didn't think about making money from the Yuquan family at the beginning, not to mention that there is not a lot of profit now, and it is enough to be satisfied enough to maintain the operation of the brokerage company without relying on his investment.

After Chang Jihong introduced the business situation of the Yuquan family, others also spoke.

"I'm ashamed, we are still losing money, in terms of income, last year we relied on advertising revenue of 46 million, income far exceeded the total income of competitors such as Youku, Tudou, and Kuliu.com, and in order to continue to maintain the gap with competitors, we continued to buy movies, TV series, and variety show copyrights last year, spending a total of 65 million, deducting other costs, our loss last year was 52 million"

"We have a total of 19 theaters and 156 big screens in Shuguang Cinemas so far, and since the opening of our first batch of 5 theaters in March last year, our box office revenue last year was 145 million yuan, ranking seventh among all theaters in China, with a total revenue of 85.9 million yuan and a net profit of 24.3 million yuan."

"Our Shuguang Publishing House is relatively lucky, because of the hot sales of "Wild Story", our revenue last year was 68.46 million yuan, and the net profit was 19.34 million."

"Our Shuguang Film and Television Base continued to be in a large-scale expansion last year. Last year, a total of 180 million yuan was invested in the expansion of the film and television base and Shuguang House, and this year, in addition to using 150 million yuan to expand the film and television base, a ten-story apartment with a cost of 25 million yuan is under construction, and in terms of revenue, because of the influence of Shuguang's name and its proximity to Hengdian Film and Television City, we attracted more than 300,000 tourists last year, with a revenue of 25.3 million, and it is expected that our revenue is expected to exceed 80 million by the end of this year."

"We don't have our own project yet, and we are mainly responsible for cooperating with the United States to develop "Wild Story" with Dimen Games, which is of course also a learning process."

Lin Yuquan is very satisfied with the development of various companies, although Shuguang is still in the loss of money, but found a good profit model, it is expected that next year's advertising revenue will increase significantly, as for the high cost of copyright purchase, it can not be saved, although Shuguang is a standout in the domestic video website, but several other video sites have more or less obtained venture capital, Shuguang only at this stage continues to throw money, snatching more copyright content than competitors, in order to firmly suppress the other party in the next competition.

According to statistics, last year's Dawning Cinema Cinema Theater attendance rate was the highest among all cinema theaters, much higher than the second-ranked Wanda Cinema, of which the "Dawning" brand played a key role, and with the first half of this year, the Dawning Cinema Line exceeded 30 theaters, with more than 240 screens, and then the Dawning Cinema Line will also be like last year's Chinese film star Mei, Shanghai Film Association, Kyoto New Film Association, Wanda Cinema Line, and enter the camp of 300 million annual cinema box office.

Dawning Publishing House is indeed lucky enough, other publishing houses will not have such a hot bestseller as "Wild Story" as soon as it is acquired, and after "Twilight: New Moon", "Twilight: Dawn", and "Wild Stories 2" are published one after another this year, it is not difficult to know that Dawning Publishing House's revenue and net profit will reach a new high this year.

The situation of the Shuguang Film and Television Base is more similar to that of Shuguang.com, which needs to continuously invest huge amounts of money in infrastructure construction, and may not be profitable for a long time, but the predictable explosive revenue growth undoubtedly shows the future development potential of the project.

As a company that was acquired together with Dawning Publishing House, the development trajectory of Dawning Games and Dawning Publishing House can be described as completely different, but with the completion of the development of Emperor Gate Game "Wild Story" and the subsequent opening of its own project, Dawning Games will soon usher in its own dazzling light.

After a brief introduction to the operation of each company last year, the topic was naturally introduced to the development plan of each company this year and the preparation of film and television dramas by directors and screenwriters.

There are not many confirmed filming of Shuguang Films this year, including Gao Xixi, Wang Wanping screenwriter, investment of 34 million, based on Zhang Hatshui's novel of the same name, the Republic of China anti-Japanese drama "Drunk Gold Fans", directed by Liu Jiang, written by Liuliu, and invested 20 million in "Wang Gui and Anna", directed and written by Liu Meng, and invested in filming with the Political * Governance Department of the Yanjing Military Region, "I Am the Fire Phoenix of Special Forces", directed by Chen Desen, has spent 40 million to build scenes in Shuguang Film and Television Base, It is estimated that the rest of the period movie "October Siege" with an investment of 70 million, directed by Chen Jiashang, adapted from Li Bihua's novel, once starred by Zhang Yi and Gong Li, and invested 40 million in "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors".

"Is that all?" Lin Yuquan looked at Ding Value, four TV series, one movie, it is not difficult to complete the filming of 6-7 high-quality TV series throughout the year, but there are too few movies.

"The establishment includes these, in addition, "Borrowed Gun", which is the same as "Latent", is from the writer Long Yi, and the copyright of film and television adaptation has also been won by us, and at present, Director Jiang Wei is considering the script, and at the speed of Director Jiang Wei, it is not yet certain what will come out." Ding Wei smiled when he said this, Jiang Wei himself and many people in the conference room laughed, many people here knew that Jiang Wei tossed the script of "Latent" for a whole year before it was finalized, and with his style of slow work and meticulous work, it is indeed impossible to determine whether it can be filmed this year.

Ding Wei then continued: "The works of director Xu Jinglei, director Kang Honglei and others have not yet been determined, specifically, you can ask them yourself when you meet the boss." ”

"Oh." Lin Yuquan nodded knowingly.

"However, in addition to movies and TV series, I have discussed with others, and everyone agrees that we should devote ourselves to variety show production, after all, we have been successful enough in the field of film and TV series, and it is time to enter other fields."

"Entering variety shows." Lin Yuquan suddenly showed an interested smile on his face, he himself was learning the TV program system in the first place, and he originally had the idea of making a variety show after gaining a firm foothold in his plan, and as Ding Wei said, now it is indeed time to be ripe, so he asked with a smile: "The idea is good, do you have a clear plan?" ”

"Well, there is no such thing yet, we are ready to wait for the boss to agree to the plan, and then plan and implement it." Ding Wei said with a smile.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan smiled and shook his head: "Next time you have a similar idea, come up with the plan first, so it will be more efficient, otherwise, when I agree to the idea and then plan the plan, it will inevitably take a long time." ”

"Okay, boss, I will correct it next time, and after the meeting is over later, I will immediately arrange for someone to start planning the variety show." Ding Zhidao.

"A new department should be established first, after all, the production of variety shows is different from that of film and television dramas, and it can be divided into different departments, and they will be responsible for the production of variety shows in the future." Lin Yuquan smiled, and then looked at everyone: "Since you are talking about variety shows, why don't you talk about your own views and talk about what kind of variety show should we make at Shuguang Movie?" ”

"How's the music audition? This type of show is very popular with young people, and the production is not complicated. Xu Jinglei said with a smile.

"It's not complicated, but there must be something new, and now there are a lot of music talent shows around the country, such as Shonan Satellite TV's "Super Girl", "Happy Boy", Shanghai TV's "My Type My Show", and Baodao's "Super Avenue of Fame", if there is no novelty, it must be difficult to achieve great success, because many people are actually tired of watching it." Seasonal Red Road.

"How about food programs, people take food as the sky, this kind of program is quite popular everywhere." He Liwen said.

"It's quite popular, but there are too many food programs, and many TV stations have their own food programs, which are difficult to make big, and they work hard to do it, but there is no profit, and I don't build yì to do this." Qiu Qingyi said.

"Although so, I think since this is the first time to try to do a variety show, I might as well try it, the profit may not be large, but the difficulty is not high, just to accumulate experience."

Lin Yuquan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, while listening carefully, while thinking in his heart, the talent show is indeed a very good idea, how many people don't like to listen to songs, the audience of this kind of program is very wide, like 05's "Super Girl", from aunts and uncles, down to middle school students, hundreds of millions of people across the country are fascinated by it, and it has also made several little-known little girls from the conservatory successfully become popular idols, and the limelight is not even comparable to many popular singers.

But the problem is also obvious, after a few years of grassroots talent shows, they have gradually lost their freshness, and the popularity is obviously not as good as before, and similar drafts tend to create idols, with age restrictions, and the participants in the draft are all young people around 20 years old, lacking in their thirties and forties, experienced and experienced singers, resulting in few singers with outstanding strength. Secondly, the sound effect of the scene is poor, and it is difficult to bring excellent listening enjoyment to the listener.

What if the age limit was lifted, and the heroes were not judged by their appearance, but also provided top-notch sound standards and stages?

Speaking of food programs, Lin Yuquan himself is interested in this kind of program, he used to especially like to watch Bashu TV's program to introduce Rongcheng's special food and snacks, and after watching TV, he always pestered his parents to take him to the restaurants and restaurants in the program.

People take food as the sky, and Chinese food is broad and profound, which is indeed a show with great attraction.

However, because it is easy to make zuò, the cost is low, and the cooperation between guò and catering companies can also get rich economic returns, so this kind of program is almost available on major TV stations, and it has become so much that it has become overflowing.

But this does not mean that this kind of program can no longer be done, in Lin Yuquan's view, it is precisely because it is too easy to make zuò, so the major TV stations have not invested too much energy in the program system, just thinking about filling the content of the program at the same time, it can bring economic benefits, which makes the food programs that appear on TV often have a single form, poor system, and lack of highlights.

And what if a food show like a movie or TV series is as elaborate as a movie?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuquan basically had an idea, and at the same time, his heart was full of expectations. R1152
