286 New Beginnings
It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
For employees, the end of the year means the year-end bonus, and for the shareholders, the end of the year means the year-end bonus.
At the end of December, the finance department made an annual accounting and issued it to each shareholder in the form of an internal report.
Throughout 2022, Golden Point's after-tax profit will reach 1.27 billion, of which more than 80% comes from copyright income related to film and television comprehensives, and another 20% comes from the artist's brokerage share.
The company will distribute profits in a ratio of 7:2:1, that is, 70% will be used for the operating retained funds of the following year, 20% will be used for shareholder dividends, and 10% will be used for employee year-end incentive bonuses.
In other words, the shareholders of Golden Point will share 250 million profits, and Shen Yize, who holds nearly 1/3 of the actual equity, will be able to share a huge amount of nearly 80 million.
According to the relevant laws and regulations, shareholders should pay 20% of the individual income tax on dividends, and the tax rate is quite high, especially after the 25% corporate income tax has just been paid, and another 16 million will be paid for the second time.
In the past, Shen Yize didn't care much about earning less and paying more taxes, but when the tax amount reached the 10 million level, it was necessary to save taxes.
He consulted Ye Yongxin, who had worked as a tax lawyer consultant for investment companies, and naturally knew more about this aspect than he did.
According to Ye Yongxin's guidance, Shen Yize set up a sole proprietorship enterprise in the Jiangnan Tax Preferential Park, applied for verification and collection, and then made the enterprise have business dealings with the main companies such as Golden Point, and paid the tax on the shareholders' dividends in the sole proprietorship enterprise.
With the policy of Jiangnan Tax Preferential Park, the original 20% tax can be reduced to about 1.6%, which undoubtedly saves a large amount of taxes, which is almost enough to buy a small villa for An'an.
In addition, Shen Yize also holds 20% of Fengge Technology, 14% of Lexiang Technology and 3% of Dolphin Technology, however, only Fengge Technology of these three companies has achieved profitability, and Shen Yize has received nearly 20 million dividends.
Lexiang Technology and Dolphin Technology are still in a state of loss, which is also normal, in the stage of traffic and user accumulation, the vast majority of Internet companies can not make money, but once they cross this stage, the speed of their gold absorption is incomparable to copyright companies and entity companies.
The rich man's money is really more and more, Shen Yize just spent more than 20 million to buy a car and a house, and in a blink of an eye, he made up another 100 million, together with the rest of the card, a total of about 130 million.
Naturally, this money cannot be stored in the bank, and it happened that Dolphin Technology was preparing for Series C financing, so he invested $20 million in his own name, and the original 3% stake rose to about 7%.
The reason why he dared to go all at once was because he was sure that the prospects of radio FM were very optimistic, and Dolphin Technology would make a profit sooner or later, and even raise funds to go public, and at that time, the $20 million could be increased by more than ten or twenty times casually.
The number of users of Dolphin FM has approached the 100 million mark, and the good market performance has made Dolphin Technology's Series C financing very smooth, raising a total of $120 million, and the company's current valuation is about 3.5 billion.
Competitors have also emerged one after another, and in just half a year, six or seven radio apps of the same type have emerged on the market, but Dolphin FM has accumulated certain advantages and firmly occupied the leading position in the industry.
On the last day of 2022, Shen Yize looked at the laptop that never connected to the Internet, looking back at the resources consumed this year.
I don't know if I don't count, and I'm shocked when I count it.
More than half of the complete songs, script outlines and planning have long been consumed, and of course, there are many incomplete ones, but fortunately, he has gathered a group of local original forces, which can be used for their secondary creation.
In the past two and a half years, nearly 200 songs have been released, almost seven or eight songs a month, no wonder he has been named the "God of Pop" on the Internet, this frequency is indeed too godly, and even he feels a bit excessive.
This is something that can't be helped, after expanding the overseas market, the speed of song consumption has increased significantly, and in order to quickly increase his global influence, he has to do this.
However, he has always been cautious in the choice of songs, and did not output all the classic masterpieces at once, but mixed high-quality and mediocre works, and sometimes even carried some private goods to sell his originals.
This can not only prove that Zhuang Yi will also stumble, so as to reduce the curiosity and suspicion of the outside world, but also prolong the service life of limited resources, and at the same time make more money, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
Whenever the songs he writes are lower than the audience's expectations, the topic of "Zhuang Yijiang Lang's talent" will be very loud on the Internet, and when the next single comes out, it will immediately become "Zhuang Yi's eternal god!" ”
Over time, the public gradually understood that Zhuang Yi is also a human being, although he has a high output, but he, like Yu Sheng, Jiang Yining and other musicians, will have ups and downs in his creative level.
But Shen Yize knew that this was the result of his deliberate guidance.
He is well aware of the fact that in any field, when a person shows a talent that is far beyond what the world can understand, it is likely to bring potential dangers and even very serious consequences.
As a traverser, what he has to do is not to make himself a god, let alone to be in the limelight and accept the worship of the public, but to keep a low profile as much as possible, try to disguise and protect himself.
He has always been cautious in his work, and the experience of traveling through has made him even more in awe of the world, no matter what, it is always possible to make a fortune in silence.
Close the computer, pack your things, and go home for New Year's Eve.
Knowing that An An was on a business trip and couldn't come with her, Wu Ping was a little disappointed, and obviously didn't believe Shen Yize's words, he chattered for a long time at the dinner table, he listened to it for a long time, and he could hear it, and his mother suspected that the two had an awkward quarrel.
Shen Yize had no choice but to explain: "Mom, it's really not, I'm fine with An An!" ”
Wu Ping didn't believe it: "Okay, why don't I come with you?" ”
"Didn't you say she's in the crew, working."
"If you really want to be in the crew, can you not visit the class? I don't spend Chinese New Year's Eve with anyone, how can you be your boyfriend? ”
“……”
Shen Yize wanted to go, but Chinese New Year's Eve was the busiest time for filming, and he would only cause trouble to An An if he went.
After explaining the reason, he continued: "I made an appointment with her to visit the class during the Spring Festival, so don't worry about it." ”
"How can you not worry about it?" Wu Ping straightened her face, "You will be 29 years old after the year, and at this age, you should also start a family." I think An An is very good, sensible, beautiful, and capable, I don't know how many times better than your ex-girlfriend! ”
"Mom, didn't you say don't compare An An with my ex-girlfriend!"
Shen Yize protested.
"It's better than my mother, you are both not young, and you have been in love for so long, some things should be considered, your father is still waiting to hold his grandson!"
Shen Lingyun was suddenly unhappy: "You don't want to get involved with me, I don't want to!" ”
"Yes, yes, you don't want to." Wu Ping muttered, "I don't know who talks about it every day, saying that if my son has a child with An An, he will be smart and beautiful......"
When parents always have an inexhaustible heart, when there was no object before, they can't wait to press your head every day to go on a blind date, and now that the object is there, they are looking forward to getting married and having children.
Shen Yize could only follow the words of the second elder and say, "Don't worry, I have already put this matter on the agenda." Didn't I tell you, we even bought the house, and when the decoration is finished, we will take you up and live for a while. ”
Although he returned home, his mind was still on work.
On New Year's Day, Lexiang TV launched a paid membership channel, and at the same time, "Running Brothers" was also launched.
After the show was cut, Shen Yize organized the company's internal employees to try it out, and the effect was very good, this novel reality show model was unanimously praised, and the laughter was almost never interrupted during the viewing process.
The first phase has no flying guests, which is the first meeting and run-in of the seven resident guests, and in order to attract a sufficient audience base, the first phase is open to all users at the same time.
Starting from the second installment, paid members can watch it a day earlier, which is Saturday, while regular users will have to wait until Sunday.
I couldn't see anything when the show first aired, and when Shen Yize got up from sleep, he found that the major platforms had been slaughtered by the relevant discussion posts of "Run, Brother".
The number of views of the first episode rose to 80 million overnight, and the number is still soaring at an exaggerated rate, growing by hundreds of thousands almost every time it is refreshed.
"I can't stop laughing"
"I just want to advise everyone not to watch it while eating"
"It's so fun, everyone is so hard"
"Is there a small partner in Hudong who wants to tear off the famous brand offline, make an appointment?"
"The variety show that you enjoy is simply the ceiling in China"
"With such a dedicated production team, open an annual membership to support it"
Weibo's related hot searches are all praised, and the petal score is as high as 8.2, which is very high in reality shows, you know, even if Shen Yize personally starred in "Heartbeat 2", it is only 8.1 points, even if he and An An have been in love for more than a year, there are still many people who question the authenticity of the show.
The marketing account mastered by the company also went out to wash the draft at the same time, and the draft was provided by the planning department:
"Run, Brother" is a positive energy show that conveys joy, seven stars run, play, search, and race together, the whole process is light and humorous, and people release pressure in joy.
What the show conveys to the audience is not a life-and-death fight, but a spirit of dedication and inspiration. The stars actively participated in the game, and the participants competed and cooperated with each other, showing the warm and beautiful and positive side of human nature, and at the same time pulling the audience's attention from the entertainment to the first reflection on life:
Life is a combination of necessity and chance, which not only follows the rules of competition, but also is full of chance; In life, we must give full play to our intelligence, action and other abilities to challenge ourselves, overcome difficulties and win victories; Learn to work as a team and dare to sacrifice yourself for the bigger picture......"
The launch results of "Run, Brother" shocked everyone in the industry.
They thought that "The Voice" was already the ceiling of variety shows, but they didn't expect this ceiling to be broken in an instant.
It stands to reason that the ceiling of the industry is constantly being brushed up, which should be a good thing, but the heads of major TV stations and video companies are not happy.
Because the upper limit is not higher and higher in the competition, but is repeatedly broken by the same company and the same person, the higher he brushes, the lower their lower limit appears.
Wang Sili was celebrating New Year's Day with his family, and when he saw this data, he was in no mood at all.
It is self-evident what it means that a new program can exceed 100 million views within 24 hours of its launch.
Phenomenal, no, it has even surpassed the phenomenal level, if you have to use one word to describe it, it is probably only national.
He really didn't exaggerate......
Wang Sili only felt a cramping pain in his heart.
In order to save the 500 million, he missed at least a billion, and he made the same mistake twice in a row, if God could give him a chance to choose again, he would definitely say: "I am willing!" ”
Wang Sili realized that he had to hurry up, as soon as this show came out, I was afraid that there would be no more doubts about him in the industry, and the next variety show would be fiercely competitive.
He pressed his mind that next time, even if the other party opened a billion yuan, he would have to win it!
After New Year's Day, Shen Yize immediately devoted himself to the work of the new year.
In the second week of the year, he flew to New York to negotiate the copyright of "The Voice" with NBC, one of the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States.
The negotiations lasted for three full days, and the other party was obviously bound to obtain the copyright of "The Voice", and the negotiation process showed full sincerity.
Because there are very few foreign TV programs implanted, and they are all soft and wide, and the advertising revenue is not as exaggerated as in China, Shen Yize did not ask them for a share, but sold the full copyright of the show in the United States at a one-time price of 180 million US dollars.
There is not much debate between the two sides on the price, and it is the production process and program format that have been negotiated for a long time.
Shen Yize plans to sell this show to the world, so he hopes that all countries can follow the original process to produce it, even down to how the mentor should take the microphone, the color and size of the program logo, the angle of the lighting, etc., which is also to prevent random changes from causing damage to the reputation of the program, which will affect sales.
After three days of negotiations, NBC finally agreed that Golden Point would send personnel to supervise the recording of each episode, and the name of the program was also set as "The Voierica" according to Shen Yize's opinion.
At the beginning of the new year, more than one billion copyright projects were discussed, and this billion was almost pure profit, and the company was rejoicing.
Shen Yize was also complacent, and told An Yatou the good news on the night he returned to China, which caused Yang Jiuan to be excited with him all night, and he was sleepy the next day.
Good news one after another, the new variety show "Got Talent" has been targeted by major TV stations before filming has started, Shen Yize hasn't thought about how much to sell, and the price has been speculated to more than 300 million.
"Got Talent" is not as popular as "Run, Brother", selling for about 300 million, he knows that even if he offers 500 million, someone should buy it, but considering that he will have to mix in this industry in the future, word of mouth is naturally more important, so he didn't knock on the bamboo bar of the TV station.
After the second phase of "Run, Brother" was launched, the number of paid members on the platform exceeded 3 million overnight, and the daily active users also exceeded 100 million for the first time, hitting a record high.
All kinds of data show that Lexiangtv has entered a period of explosive growth, and if this momentum continues, it is only a matter of time before it enters the first echelon.
