PS: Thank you for the tip!

With the downfall of "Haeundae", the most important thing for an entertainment company is on the agenda, that is, the financial summary meeting for the first half of the year.

According to the principle of A.P., the general settlement is carried out on a quarterly basis. Half a year happens to be two quarters, and it is in the middle of a year, so it is necessary to not only make a summary of the past half year, but also make a plan for the next half year.

Financial meetings are not held in public, and the attendees are at the top of the company.

Because a lot of the numbers involve business secrets, the restrictions on personnel are very strict. In addition to several leaders of the company, major ministers, representatives of branches will also participate.

It is worth mentioning that this meeting is the first time that Cui Zhengyuan has sat in the chairman's position and is responsible for presiding over it.

In the past, the people in the presiding seat were presidents. At first, it was Kim Young-min, and later it was replaced by Han Sung-ho.

Although Han Sung-ho still holds the position of president of A.P, his focus is more on the Diet and the C.J Group.

If it weren't for Zhang Jiadu's inability to separate himself in Japan, Han Chenghao would have stepped down a long time ago.

According to the plan that has been made for a long time, once Han Chenghao steps down as president, then Cao Qitai will take over as president.

Zhang Jiadu came back to take over as the director, and the representative of the Japanese branch will make another arrangement.

However, this Qiē plan has a premise, that is, to solve the threat of Masa Takami and Sony.

There is no way, Zhang Jiadu's position is too important, and he can't leave without permission. In addition to him, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't find a delicate and trustworthy person to replace him for a while.

Therefore, it can only be done for the time being, that is, in fact, the position of president of A.P Company is vacant.

As for why Cui Zhengyuan himself didn't logically succeed as president? That's because he is also the executive director of the C.J Group.

When it comes to work, there is no one in the entire C.J Group who can compare with him.

Even if it is reborn, after all, it has limited energy. I really can't afford to be in charge of an entertainment company anymore.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cui Zhengyuan knocked on the table and ordered: "Okay, let's start the meeting, Minister Chen, you can first introduce the company's performance in the first half of the year." ”

Chen Shengmei stood up from her position, walked to the slide projector, and with the help of her assistant, began to introduce the company's financial situation in the first half of the year one by one.

Overall, in the first half of 2009, A.P's revenue reached a new high. It reached 870 billion won.

This figure is unique and no other entertainment company in Korea can achieve it except for A.P.

It is worth mentioning that this does not include the box office revenue of many movies such as "Haeundae". Because those parts are counted in the CJCGA and film and television production departments, they have little to do with A.P now.

From these film and television works, the part that A.P company can earn is mainly the remuneration of the participating actors and the creation of scripts.

It seems that a large part of the income is missing, but because the same high cost is passed on, the profit is still very considerable.

Chen Shengmei's report was very detailed. Introduce them one by one, so that the participants can have an intuitive impression just by listening.

In the past six months, A.P. has been the largest source of income in the artist category. In fact, it is concert income.

The second half of Dark.L's world tour ended perfectly, and with the strong return of "sorrysorry", it brought back more than 40 billion in total revenue.

In addition, A.PSHOW family concerts are also held irregularly, which really makes a lot of money.

Besides. Artists' advertising revenue is the largest part of the weight.

Actors, singers, and gagmans add up to 200 billion won. What's even more rare is that the cost of endorsement income is small. But the profits are huge, almost no different from making them for nothing.

However, when it comes to the main revenue of A.P company, the biggest source is still the project.

Including program cooperation with the four major TV stations, cooperation with China, cooperation with Japan, and the development of theme peripherals, etc., it is close to 300 billion yuan.

There is no way, the artist's income is very unstable. When it is high, it is scary, and when it is low, there is no income for several months, and compared with the stable project, the revenue is naturally much narrower.

The current A.P company, in fact, mainly uses the popularity and appeal of celebrities to carry out in-depth development of projects with good prospects, and then obtain rich returns.

This is also the fundamental reason why the revenue will be many times higher than that of other entertainment companies.

Chen Shengmei explained for more than an hour before finishing the financial report.

With the heavy financial statements in their hands, everyone at the meeting was smiling. No way, the company's income is good, and everyone's pockets can naturally be filled, how can you not be happy?

Cui Zhengyuan asked curiously while browsing the report: "In terms of artists, who has the highest income?" I'm talking about individuals, not groups? ”

"It's Jessica, she's over eight billion alone, and she's the champion of the first half of the year. Behind her are Kwon Ji-ryong and Yoon Eun-hye, one of them because of music rights income, and the other because of the sales of fashion brands. Quan Zhiying introduced.

Following him, Li Donghe further explained: "Jessica is beautiful and has a good understanding of fashion. In addition, it won the European Music Award, so it is highly regarded. And she herself is also very keen on participating in fashion, so many fashion brands like to cooperate with her. ”

Cui Zhengyuan nodded in understanding.

Fashion brand, another meaning is luxury.

Since it is a luxury item, the price is naturally expensive. And if it sells expensively, then it is not bad to start planning.

A lot of money is sprinkled, and Jessica is a little rich woman even if she drinks soup.

Choi Jung-won separately found Jessica's income details and checked them, and found that her income share ratio had changed.

Last year, her revenue share with the company was 8:2, but now it has directly become 6:4.

There is no way, in the face of an artist with an annual income of 8 billion won, I am afraid that any company will be so generous.

Of course, without the Euromusic Awards. Jessica couldn't have such an exaggerated income anyway.

You must know that as a single artist, IU was only 4 billion in annual income when it was the most popular. This has to be shocked by the Korean entertainment industry, and it has been reported for a long time.

It is conceivable that after this report is released tomorrow, Jessica will definitely be in the limelight.

Now that he has read Jessica's report, Choi Jung-won has found Taeyeon again.

It's just that in comparison, Taeyeon's situation is much worse.

Although Taeyeon won the Grammy Award, it stands to reason that her popularity and popularity should be better than Jessica's.

But when it comes to converting fame into money, she's far worse than Sika.

The reason for this is the reason why Taeyeon will be welcomed. is because of her excellent singing skills and cute image.

Many fans like her out of love for her like a sister, and they also like to buy her all kinds of expensive gifts.

But Taeyeon itself is not enough to be a brand image, that is, her image cannot add to any product.

The entertainment industry, in particular, is basically inseparable from the fashion industry. If an artist wants to make more money, a good image and a sensitivity to fashion are mixed.

Taeyeon has the former, but it is far from the latter, so naturally it is not favored by fashion brands. In the same way, it is much worse in terms of income.

Although she also has a lot of ads. But endorsement costs such as mobile phones, purified water, and running shoes cannot be compared with jewelry, cosmetics, and high-end fashion in any case.

The difference between Taeyeon and Sika in terms of income is actually the gap in business operations.

In addition to these popular idols who have been extremely active since the beginning of this year, it is reasonable for another person to be on the list. That's Ha Ji Won.

After a slight silence last year, this year's Ha Ji Won finally ushered in a big explosion.

"Haeundae" successfully made her a member of the 10 million box office club and became one of the top actors in South Korea.

The release of the movie has not all ended, and she has already recorded eleven advertisements. All of a sudden, he came up behind and squeezed to the top of the income list.

But on the whole, today is indeed a year of collective explosion of idols.

Not to mention Jessica, Kim Taeyeon and Kwon Ji-ryong. Ju Li, Yun'er, Han Geng, and Ni Kun are all at the top, almost occupying most of the top ten seats.

It is said that since 2009, the Korean entertainment industry has officially entered the idol boom, and now it seems that it is true.

Cui Zhengyuan is also glad that he did not produce any moths, but planned according to the trend of history.

If nothing seems to happen, until the end of this year, the idol groups under A.P will continue to bring back a lot of income.

According to the current trend, the final income of Sika is likely to exceed 10 billion.

In the face of such astronomical income, Cui Zhengyuan is actually quite distressed.

Of course, this is the trouble of happiness. Because he doesn't know what to reward these little rich people and little rich women when they wait until the end of the year.

The luxury car is estimated to be a little out of reach, because as far as Cui Zhengyuan knows, Quan Zhilong has just bought a Bentley.

His teammate Han Geng is not far behind, and he has already driven the Maybach through the market.

The female idol is not bad here, Jessica's pink special Ferrari F430 is definitely a beautiful scenery for A.P.

Taeyeon's small Mercedes-Benz ML400 has successfully frightened countless traffic police officers every time it drives like an unmanned ghost car.

Cui Zhengyuan thought, is this year's reward a little higher? The car is gone, how about a house? (To be continued......)
