Chapter 204: Zhuo Ning's Wealth
It's a question of what to contrast, but what about it? Some films released at the same time as "Once Upon a Time" have declined at the box office much faster than "Once Upon a Time"! And their total box office is low, coupled with a sharp box office decline, which has led to the fact that the two-day sales data of "Huang Feihong" has crushed the second place in the weekly box office several times! This is the weekly box office, and the release time of "Once Upon a Time" is Friday! In other words, "Once Upon a Time" only took two days to crush the box office of other films in a week!
Three days before its release, the cumulative box office of "Once Upon a Time" reached 470 million! Rushed into the top ten of the annual box office list in Huaxia District! At the same time, ZN Entertainment's meticulous standard machine also began to operate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, it is the contact with overseas manufacturers, ZN Entertainment has no overseas distribution channels for the time being, so it can only collect a one-time copyright fee through authorization buyout and license "Once Upon a Time" to other regions. The brilliant figures of "Once Upon a Time" have completely supported the licensing fees, and the highest price in the Americas has a one-time copyright buyout fee of up to 390 million! Combined with the licensing fees in other regions, ZN Entertainment's licensing revenue alone has exceeded one billion yuan!
Not to mention that this is the result of overseas manufacturers bullying ZN Entertainment, a "newcomer", and suppressing prices under various pretexts.
In fact, for this price "suppression", Zhuo Ning also pinched his nose and admitted it. He knew that the popularity of "Once Upon a Time" was actually only found in the Greater East Asia region, the area around the Chinese region. Europe and the United States and other regions are inherently indifferent to such films, after all, the villain of "Once Upon a Time" is the main body of the Americas - the United States. You can't expect you to portray Beko as a heinous villain, and you have to let Becko pay for a ticket out of his own pocket!
Secondly, it is the peripheral distribution in the Huaxia District, Mauser imitation gun, Huang Feihong's fan, Aunt Thirteen's dress, etc., in this era of developed entertainment, everything that has anything to do with it can generate profits.
Finally, there is the key issue of ZN Entertainment: continuous publicity! Including Zhuo Ning, all the leading actors have a regional propaganda task, and there are as many as 30 large and medium-sized cities in the entire China, all of which are the focus of ZN Entertainment's care, and when they come to a certain city to promote one day, the members must fly to the next place. Zhuo Ning, in particular, has taken a total of 15 days of vacation for this purpose. Even Zhuo Ning, in order to take care of the filming of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", was almost a person who was busy from morning to night, and he didn't even have the time to take a breath.
How busy is Zhuo Ning? Looking at his assistant, you can know that when ZN Entertainment was just established, Zhuo Ning transferred his former assistant Yi Yi to ZN Entertainment to become the company's project director, but on the first day of the release of "Huang Feihong", he had to transfer Yi Yi back, and even specially invited Li Xiumin, the CEO who has now been transferred to ZN Brokerage Subsidy, to come over, these are two assistants.
However, when "Huang Feihong" began to become popular, Yi Yi and Li Xiumin were all busy with their feet, and Zhuo Ning had to add a third assistant to himself again: Wei Donglin. This time, Zhuo Ning completely accepted Wei Donglin as an "apprentice".
However, even so, the three assistants were also rotated, and even their original work had to be handed over to the deputy to do it, fully assisting Zhuo Ning. In fact, if it weren't for the trustworthy people, there would only be three people who could serve as Zhuo Ning's assistants, and the number of Zhuo Ning's assistants would have to at least double.
Of course, this matter is also an opportunity for the three daughters. Needless to say, Wei Donglin is bent on becoming Zhuo Ning's disciple, and now she has become an assistant, and she can always be by her side to listen to the teachings, which has already satisfied her heart's wishes, Li Xiumin is the same, she was originally just a small staff, even if she entered Zhuo Ning's studio, what she did was a simple position, and she was promoted in the future, but these promotions are naturally far less than Zhuo Ning's assistant "one step to the sky".
The only one who can barely say the loss is Yiyi, she was originally Zhuo Ning's assistant, and later known as the director of the ZN Entertainment project, and she is in charge of the "Huang Feihong" project, which can be regarded as the real power faction in the company. But then again, now Yiyi's assistant identity is very different from the original, when she became Zhuo Ning's assistant, the company was only Zhuo Ning's studio, which was not large, and could only be regarded as a medium-sized company. And now? ZN Group is thriving and continues to attract talents to join, Yiyi has felt great pressure, because among the follow-up talents, there are not many talents who are higher than her, and even she has secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to apply for a few crash courses for herself after she is busy with this matter. Acting as an assistant to the boss in such a large group is really a proper first-level executive.
"Mr. Zhuo, there was a message from South Korea that a contract has been signed with a local filmmaker, and the final buyout price is 8 million yuan."
"Mr. Zhuo, the fans of the "Huang Feihong" project in Xi'an Station are too enthusiastic, and the team leader sent back a message, hoping that the event can be extended by one day."
The continuous flow of information is summarized by the three assistants to Zhuo Ning, and after Zhuo Ning's review, it will become the final company decision.
After dealing with a batch of things, Zhuo Ning thought of the first piece of information and said to Yi Yi beside him: "Help me record, ZN Entertainment needs to set up its own film business alliance, and we need to control the power of film distribution by ourselves, especially in the pan-China region, including southern Japan, Mongolia and Southeast Asia." ”
For the global administrative system, there are only five major regions in the world, namely Asia, Europe, America, Australia, and Africa. Among these five regions, Asia is the largest, and the history and humanities are the most complex, so usually the Asian region can be divided into three regions, such as the China region, the Indian region, and the West Asia region.
However, although this is the case administratively, when it comes to the distribution of films, it is a different scene, the distribution of films is generally based on national-level regions, with super-scale film companies, such as the Emperor Entertainment Alliance of the Americas in cooperation with Zhuo Ning this time, which includes almost all the film companies in the Americas, and is a huge collection of interests, which is full of contradictions in the internal aspect, but is usually consistent in the purchase of film rights externally.
Asia is no exception, so when Zhuo Ning sells the copyright to other regions, it can charge a one-time copyright fee, but when it sells to these national film merchant alliances in Asia, it needs to be sold country by country. This is at odds with Zhuoning's ambitions, which he hopes to expand his influence in at least the countries around Huaxia. What Yiyi has written down now is the core direction of ZN's development in the future.
Yi Yi did not speak, on the portable computer at any time to enter Zhuo Ning's words, in the ZN group, Zhuo Ning said this sentence, the follow-up will cause a series of changes, first of all, several senior management to hold a meeting, to study the possibility of the implementation of this strategy, and whether it is beneficial to the healthy development of the company, how much money needs to be invested, etc. It is also necessary to establish a project leader or even a branch for this grand strategy to clarify the responsibility system. Then the real money is put in and it starts to be implemented.
This kind of strictly forbidden company management can ensure the smooth progress of a strategy, and it is impossible for the protagonist to say a word in a novel and the people below to complete it in a short time.
In fact, today's ZN Group has made great strides into a period of rapid development, and talents from all walks of life continue to emerge, otherwise, "Huang Feihong" may still be able to get a high box office, but it will definitely not be able to get such a high box office. Zhuo Ning's sparkling brilliance released alone in the ranks of sublime superstars requires the efforts and hard work of countless people behind him.
Of course, the group employees who followed Zhuo Ning also enjoyed rich rewards.
On December 15, a full month after the release of "Once Upon a Time", the box office in the first month stayed at the jaw-dropping figure of 1.59 billion! Such a number has successfully reached the top two of the total box office of Chinese films of the year.
The first place is naturally Zhuo Ning's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Sweeping the World", this movie has been determined to be released, and it will be released in half a month, and now the box office result is 3.5 billion yuan! It has been released for five and a half months, with an average box office of 700 million per month!
This number has even been registered in the top 10 of the annual global box office charts! Some people may not understand why the number one in Huaxia is only in the top 10 in the annual global box office rankings.
As mentioned above, the impact of a purple superstar on a film is extremely huge, and the consumption of vitality by the purple level itself is also huge, in addition to super purple stars like Audrey Hepburn, ordinary purple superstars also need to shoot wonderful things within a fixed time. This means that there are more than 50 purple orders in the world, and they must produce works within a fixed period of time, and they need to maintain a super high box office - at least enter the top 50 of the global box office annual charts!
And a purple order, even if it makes a bad movie that people absolutely can't understand, can at least gain hundreds of millions of hardcore box office. Generally speaking, the lowest production rate of the purple level is one film in five years. That is to say, every year's annual box office, there are at least ten purple levels competing for positions.
Zhuo Ning's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this is Zhuo Ning's first work, has successfully squeezed into the circle where the purple order is located in less than half a year, what a scenery and glory this is!
Therefore, after the end of the year, the media will inevitably carry out a series of reports on this matter. The only pity is that the release time of "Once Upon a Time" is not coincidental, otherwise, according to the trend of "Once Upon a Time", it is very likely to break the record set by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Yiyi, from today onwards, "Once Upon a Time" will be taken over by you and Ke'er, and I will officially transfer to the "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" project."
Seeing this data, Zhuo Ning's expression was calm, for him who needed to complete the task of Perfect World, these yuan coins only solved the needs of the first stage, and even the second stage may not be enough. So he must continue to work hard to earn yuan.
Don't look at the total box office earned by the two projects is so amazing, and even "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not calculated the income of the plot world. However, the operation of any company requires a cost, not to mention that Zhuo Ning has recently been a component ZN group and various branches, and has purchased ZN buildings, and has even recently signed a contract with Chen Xin to officially start the establishment of ZN plot factory in the suburbs of Shendu. These projects are all supported by hundreds of millions of funds, so there is not much money available on Zhuo Ning's hands now, and the only capital that Zhuo Ning can rely on is that he has now maintained a good relationship with the bank, and with the huge profits of several projects every month, he can take out loans in advance, so as to increase his available cash flow and do more things.
Otherwise, ZN Group would not have grown to the size it has reached today in just a few months.
Yes, since its establishment in September to December, in just three months, ZN Group can already be described by the word "scale".
Zhuo Ning still remembers listening to Yiyi's data report at the board meeting a week ago:
In just three months, ZN Group has completed the transformation from nothing to something, from existence to wealth. As of December 8th, ZN Group, including major branches, has 31 departments, including finance, public relations, publicity, production, supervision, security, etc. more than 15 top-down sound systems, and the group company has formed a ZN model integrating ZN building and ZN plot factory. It ensures that ZN can run extremely efficiently and thus generate high profits.
The group already has 531 full-time employees, which is a tenfold increase in size compared to the initial establishment! Although most of these people are college graduates, the remaining thirty percent are all experienced employees who have been immersed in the workplace for many years, or even worked in this circle for many years. They came from the support of shareholders such as Mo Donglin, Zhang Heng, Wang Yunian, Xian Yugang, etc., and in the case of complete internal unity, these people played an extremely outstanding role, bringing a good corporate atmosphere to the new employees, and even now forming the unique corporate culture of ZN Group.
As of December 8, the company's book liquidity has reached 680 million yuan, and the total value of the company's total value of about 8 billion yuan to 12 billion yuan, including ZN Building, ZN Drama Factory, as well as various projects, technologies, and even the gradually formed ZN brand! It is precisely because of this assessment that Huaxia Bank's monthly business transactions with ZN are basically maintained at a scale of more than 1 billion yuan.
Of course, because of the existence of Sun Yazhi, as well as Wang Yunian, Xian Yugang, and Tang Keer have entered the board of directors of ZN Group, Zhuo Ning's stake in ZN Group has now been reduced to 73.8%, but even according to this figure, Zhuo Ning's total worth has jumped to between 6 billion and 8 billion yuan!
