Chapter 334: North America Ascends to the Top, Plotting to Follow!

.........

It took a full hour for Lin Ruohua to explain the fourth-quarter earnings clearly.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Left Ear.

"The Four Famous Catches".

National Security.

The four movies brought a total of 1.4 billion profits to the group.

"Ghost Blowing Lantern: Dragon Gate Maze".

Under the Zhengyang Gate

Rebirth

"Flower Thousand Bone"

The four TV series brought a total of 380 million profits to Hengyu.

Hengyu has a total of ten TV series this year, all of which have been broadcast, almost every one of them can be called a high-quality product, and has achieved quite good ratings.

Among them, the most awesome are "The Pretender", "Let's Get Married", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Longmen Maze", "Under the Zhengyang Gate", and "Flower Thousand Bone".

These five dramas have sold three rounds of broadcast rights, and each of them has earned hundreds of millions.

Besides.

Hengyu Games, Hengyu Brokerage Company, and Shangjiao's profits are also considerable.

Hengyu Games, after deducting taxes in the fourth quarter, handed over a total of 1.8 billion profits, which can be called the largest subsidiary.

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" became a complete hit, playing with "League of Legends" with the left hand and the right hand, monopolizing the terminal game market in China.

In 2012, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" sold 12 million copies just by selling accounts.

According to a 99 yuan calculation, 12 million is 1.18 billion, a crazy sub-batch.

"League of Legends" has entered the stage of skin picking, and Hengyu Games humbly learns from Tengxun, the big brother in the game industry, and also allows players to embark on the road of charging money and kryptonite.

, handed over 200 million earnings for the fourth time.

This income is the income of the whole of 2012, no more, no less.

However, the value of literature cannot be calculated solely by real-time benefits, and the development value of subsequent works far exceeds that of the present.

Fang Ziheng values it very much, his ideas are very simple, and he is also very independent.

The IP of the website is regarded as the vegetable garden of Hengyu Media, watering and fertilizing from time to time, and selecting a few ripe fruits every year to develop copyright peripherals.

The copyright price will not be low, and it will definitely meet the expectations of online writers.

According to the agreement between Hengyu Media and the starting point and the online writers.

The copyright of a film is divided into very detailed parts, movies, television, games, animation, and the copyright fee is less than one million, and it is possible to exceed tens of millions or more than 100 million.

The current film technology is not up to standard, and those fantasy, fairytale, and mythological works in the starting point library have not yet been born.

Otherwise, the copyright fee of the work will be even higher.

In addition, starting from this year, it will take the road of listing, and Wu Wenhui is leading the team to prepare for the starting point of listing.

It is expected to officially apply for the report next year, and strive to be listed at the end of 2016 or mid-2017.

Fang Ziheng remembers that China Literature, the parent company of the previous life, was listed in November 2017, and its stock price soared after the listing.

At the peak of its market capitalization, it once soared to 70 billion soft girl coins, becoming the undisputed mecca of online literature in China.

In this life, the starting point has also embarked on the road of joint merger, integrating the development of copyright peripherals such as multiple platforms, computers, clients, and work publishing.

At the request of Wu Wenhui and others, Fang Ziheng did not upgrade the starting point to Hengyu Literature Group.

Let the starting point be upgraded by itself next year and establish a new starting point cultural and creative group.

However, he put forward a principle, before the starting point of the cultural and creative group is listed, the current shares must not be changed.

Even if someone wants to cash out and improve their lives, they have to sell their shares to Hengyu Media.

It must not be secretly sold to Teng Xun or Ali.

This principle is an iron law, and Fang Ziheng, as the chairman of the starting point, has already signed an agreement with Wu Wenhui and other founders.

It's okay to delegate power, but you can't stab you in the back!

........

After the report of the Propaganda Department, the Distribution Department and the Finance Department, it was the turn of Hengyu Brokerage Company.

Hengyu brokerage has encountered a bottleneck period this year, and although profits continue to rise, there has been no qualitative change.

The reason is very simple, Fang Ziheng did not let Hengyu Brokerage expand its scale.

No matter how many times the person in charge, Chang Jihong, has applied for the report, he has turned a deaf ear and just won't give it.

There is no way, in a few years, the industry will be rectified.

According to the current standards of Hengyu Agency, a new artist must sign a contract of at least three to five years.

If you are a college student, the contract period can even be set at seven to ten years.

After all!

Cultivating a new artist requires resources, and Hengyu Media does not engage in idolization roads, and newcomers must go through at least three or four film and television dramas before they can take the lead in starring.

It will take two to three years for Hengyu Brokerage to earn back the cost of resources invested in the early stage.

Humanity cannot stand the test.

Once a new artist comes out, it is inevitable that he will be on the bar with the old club and have more interest appeals.

This is the proper meaning, people go to high places!

Hengyu Brokerage is not a bloody capitalist, and has set several levels of contracts, which can be flexibly changed according to the artist's coffee position and commercial value.

But even in how humanized the contract is, some people will still be dissatisfied, feeling that they have taken less, and the company has taken more people.

After the artist became popular, all kinds of temptations came one after another, and other brokerage companies were also eyeing him.

If it's just a conflict of interests, or different concepts, then it's okay, Hengyu Broker can choose to let go, and everyone is fine.

I'm afraid that once an artist becomes popular, people will follow suit, playing big names and engaging in peers, this is not, that is not good.

He even got into bad habits and engaged in crooked ways.

In the end, the artist collapsed, and the company behind it was also unlucky.

Fang Ziheng is a person who has come over, and he has always been concerned about the artist's house collapse incident a few years later.

So at the beginning, he strictly limited the pace of Hengyu brokerage's expansion.

The steps must not be too big, and every artist must do a survey of the front position before entering Hengyu.

For this reason, Fang Ziheng also specially issued a notice.

Every time Hengyu Agent joins an artist, he has to apply for a report to him, and he agrees to accept it.

He disagreed, no matter how valuable that artist was, and how much Hengyu's agent wanted the other party, he couldn't do it.

in the conference room.

While listening to Chang Jihong's report, Fang Ziheng's thoughts drifted, thinking of the two applications and two artist information he saw in the office this morning.

The application was submitted by Chang Jihong two days ago, and Andy read it and signed the agreement.

He came to the company this morning to take a look and didn't have time to reply.

The two artists belong to the acting skills online, one is called Zhang Songwen and the other is Zhang Yu.

Chang Jihong also learned to be obedient, changed the previous way of Taoxin, and went the opposite way and began to recruit Mesozoic actors in the industry.

I have to say that Chang Jihong's vision is very accurate.

Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yu are all excellent actors with outstanding acting skills and who have been up and down for many years, and they can surface and soar to the sky just one opportunity.

This has been verified in the previous life!

When Fang Ziheng was in Hengdian in his last life, he dealt with the two, and Zhang Songwen even acted in a TV series he filmed.

I remember that once he drank two more glasses, and once talked to Zhang Songwen, saying that your old Zhang has accumulated a lot of money, and he will definitely become popular in the future.

However, at that time, both of them belonged to small roles in the entertainment industry, and no one would take this kind of cheering to heart.

Zhang Songwen also graduated from Nortel, and stayed in school to become an acting teacher after graduation, and he still has a little love for Fang Ziheng.

That's fine.

Today, the heat hits me, and you Lao Zhang will be brought under your command!

Fang Ziheng thought about it, waved his hand to interrupt Chang Jihong's report, and said with a smile: "Lao Chang, I have read the application you submitted, it is very good, I agreed to these two artists, you can go back and sign a contract with them." ”

Chang Jihong was standing under the multimedia to state the annual income and profits of his artists, and he was interrupted as soon as he said it, and he was subconsciously a little confused.

Then he heard Fang Ziheng's words, and his whole body was shocked, and he instantly went from hair to surprise.

"Really, great, thank you Fang Dong!"

Mother!

This is the right way to go!

I said why so many newcomers selected before couldn't pass the test, it turns out that Fang Dong likes actors with acting skills!

Got it, got it!

A joyful smile appeared on Chang Jihong's face, and he secretly said that Hengyu Broker finally had a new colleague to join, and he didn't have to face a group of warblers and Yanyan all day long.

That group of aunts and grandmothers, often called her all day long, and called her old.

Fortunately, the company has a lot of resources, and the artists don't have to compete for the drama contract, and they can all eat to their heart's content.

Otherwise, she would really have to be one head and two big, and she would be even more upset!

........

The meeting lasted until noon and ended with Fang Ziheng's concluding speech.

The next executive meeting has to be held after the Spring Festival, when "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" has already been launched, and others are no longer in the imperial capital.

Midday.

In the chairman's office.

Fang Ziheng and Concubine Lin sat on the hospitality sofa for lunch, chatting about the premiere of "Journey to the West".

"Sister, I don't have time to attend the premiere, you take me to say hello to Stephen Chow."

"Hmm... Ziheng, do you want to bring Stephen Chow to Hengyu as well? ”

Concubine Lin nodded slightly, and while asking, she picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, and saw that there was a little fat on it, so she sent it to Fang Ziheng's bowl without thinking about it.

Fang Ziheng shook his head, put the ribs into his mouth with rice, spit out the bones with a pout, and said in a condensed voice: "I don't have this plan, I just want to maintain a good relationship with Stephen Chow between the investor and the director, and I want to invest in his next movie." ”

As he spoke, he also picked up a piece of sausage and brought it to Concubine Lin's mouth.

Hey..

Sister Lin has not eaten fatty meat since she was a child, and she has a soft spot for sausages.

Concubine Lin moved back, glanced at him, then took the bowl to catch the sausage, and said with a puzzled face: "In this way, will you be in a hurry, with Stephen Chow's creative speed, the next movie will take at least three years, there is no need to make friends so early, right?" ”

"It's okay, the relationship is mutual, and the more time passes, the more stable the relationship will be."

Fang Ziheng smiled, accelerated his movements, and finished pulling the rice chops in the bowl in two or three bites.

After "Journey to the West", Stephen Chow also fell in love with conceptual comedy, and it didn't take long to make a "Mermaid".

A "Mermaid", with a total investment of 350 million and a box office of more than 3 billion, is simply a lot of money.

What he likes is this movie, even if he can't get the investment share in the early stage, he has to win the follow-up guaranteed release.

These two goals require Stephen Chow's nod, and it is very necessary to have a good relationship in advance.

Even..

Fang Ziheng still had an idea in his heart, when the dispute between Stephen Chow and Hua Yi broke out, he could completely cut off his beard.

After Zhou Xingchi was deflated in Huayi, Hengyu came forward to give a bonus check for "Journey to the West".

With this kind of beard cutting operation, the cliff can gain the favor of the other party, so as to take advantage of the situation to win the investment in "The Mermaid".

Director Zhou was scared, and he almost had an unusually keen sense of money.

This touch does not mean that he likes to spend lavishly, is greedy and is greedy for wealth.

Instead, he has developed a sensitivity to money since he was a child, and he does not want to become a wage earner of capital, hoping that his efforts will be duly rewarded.

Just from Stephen Chow's charity actions, it can be seen that his love for money belongs to the way he takes it and belongs to the character cultivated by life experience.

It's fundamentally different from greedy businessmen, it's not a channel at all!

After eating.

Fang Ziheng lay on the sofa leisurely, touching his lower abdomen freely.

Concubine Lin cleaned up the coffee table, stood up and glanced at him with a smile, and asked, "Will you go back to the palace tonight or the recovery building?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Ion made an appointment with the mahjong game tonight, I, Ion, and Sissi are missing one, and there is one less person."

"Where's Tiezi and Andy?"

"Tiezi has to go home for a few days, Andy is also busy these days, he can't stay up late, and Tian Tian has no time to promote "The Great Wall".

Source change app】

"Okay, I'll reluctantly fight with you."

Fang Ziheng was extremely comfortable, waved his hand and responded to tonight's mahjong game, and then his body was crooked, and the whole person lay on the sofa.

"Okay, let's go back to the palace together in the evening."

The corners of Concubine Lin's mouth rose, she lifted the lunch box and turned around leisurely, a trace of cunning joy flashed in her eyes.

Just say yes.

They haven't slaughtered little men for a long time, and this time they earned 20 billion, and they can't send them some pocket money.

Hum..

The gift that was promised two days ago has not yet been seen, and he must be treated.

Poor Fang Ziheng, once again burrowed into the charming array laid by the girls.

Tonight, he's going to have to bleed again.

........

Dongdong..

Dongdong..

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Fang Ziheng was taking a nap when he heard someone knocking on the door in the misty lake.

He rubbed his eyes, rolled over and sat up, and muttered to the office door, "Who, come in." ”

The office door was pushed open.

Lin Yuyu, the secretary of the chairman, swayed his body and came in, seeing that he had just woken up and showed an embarrassed smile, and said softly: "Fang Dong, there is news from North America!" ”

As he spoke, Lin Yuyu handed over a document sheet, then turned around and walked to the lounge inside, and fetched water for Fang Ziheng to wash his face.

Fang Ziheng didn't blame her for disturbing her lunch break, patted her cheek and came to the window, lit a cigarette while opening the file sheet.

On the A4 paper, a line of bold and large characters appears.

[North American market, box office data for the week of January 28 to February 4, 2013]

1st place: "The Great Wall".

Ten days after its release, the weekly box office was 46 million US dollars, and the total box office was 74 million US dollars.

Second place: "Warm Corpse", which was released for three days and had a total box office of 21 million US dollars.

Third place: "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunter", released for ten days, with a weekly box office of 920

10,000 US dollars, with a total box office of 3450 US dollars.

The Chinese movie "The Great Wall"!

defeated the last two or three films with an extremely strong attitude, topped the North American Film Market Weekly Champion, and defeated the invincible opponents of ten North American films.

Seven days, 46 million US dollars at the box office!

That's a pretty impressive statistic!

In particular, it overturned "Warm Corpse", which ranked second in one fell swoop, which is really surprising.

The film is adapted from Marion's "Warm Shell" of the same name, which has the reputation of the zombie version of "Twilight", and set off a wave of movie-watching in North America as early as the beginning of its release.

It hit 21 million US dollars in three days after its release, if it weren't for "The Great Wall" taking the first-mover advantage and entering the theater three days in advance, it is still unknown who will die this week!

Fang Ziheng took a deep puff of his cigarette, suddenly remembered another upcoming movie in North America, took out his mobile phone and dialed Deng Wendi's ocean phone.

"Hey, Ms. Deng, hello."

"Yes, I just saw the North American box office situation of "The Great Wall", which is very good, and the box office trend of "The Great Wall" is better than that of "Looking for the Dragon".

"Haha, happy and happy, then I have to thank 21st Century Fox for the publicity and thank Ms. Deng for her help."

After a few pleasantries.

Fang Ziheng changed his words and asked loudly: "That's the case, Ms. Deng, I want to ask about the upcoming "Identity Thief" in North America, how is the publicity of this movie?"

"Identity Thieves?"

On the other end of the phone, Deng Wendi, who was about to rest, was surprised.

She swept the empty room and walked over to the computer with her coat on.

While turning on the computer, he asked: "What does Fang Dong mean, this movie can threaten "The Great Wall"?" ”

"Yes, I have a hunch that "Identity Thief" is not good, and "The Great Wall" can't be unguarded!"

"Ms. Deng, if possible, you can discuss with Wanda Film and Television, and you can increase the promotional lineup of "The Great Wall" as appropriate."

"No, no, Ms. Deng, you are too worried, if "The Great Wall" tops the weekly box office charts of the North American film market for two consecutive weeks, it can definitely bring you more say in Fox!"

"Okay, okay, let's get back and talk!"

Hanging up the phone, Fang Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If he remembers correctly, "Identity Thief" hit the box office of more than 50 million US dollars in the first week of its release.

In the second week, it did not stabilize its position, and the box office fell sharply.

But even so, it is the biggest opponent of "The Great Wall" next week, and there is no one.

5000 US dollars!

A peak in front of "The Great Wall".

Needless to say, movies can easily become popular in North America, and then spread to other overseas markets with their influence.

If you can't get past it, only one North American weekly champion, "The Great Wall" will have nothing to do even if it is a cow.

At that time, the fourth week came, the potential of the movie was gradually depleted, the influence was getting lower and lower, and it was estimated that the box office of 150 million US dollars had peaked.

150 million dollars in North America!

is far from Fang Ziheng's psychological expectations.

Far from it!
