[Chao Qin Dusk Chu] company.

Conference room.

Qin Muchu sat in the middle of the conference table and listened to the company's employees making year-end summaries.

Well, the kind that simply listens, doesn't say a word.

Originally, he didn't want to attend the meeting, and the company's affairs were all handled by Zhao Mingyu, he just needed to know the final result.

However, Zhao Mingyu said that the company has developed rapidly this year, adding many departments and adding many managers, and they should always be allowed to meet the boss.

"At present, the highest click-through rate on the Internet, as well as some popular entity copyrights, have basically been won by us.

And in this regard, none of the companies have realized the importance of these copyrights, and they have paid more attention to the copyrights of some traditional and serious literature, so the purchase is smooth, and the price is relatively low......"

This is the head of the company's new [Copyright Operation Department], which is mainly responsible for the copyright operation of the company's works and the purchase of copyrights.

For example, "The Gift of Room No. 7" and "Star You", if others want to adapt and remake, or buy the broadcast rights, they will negotiate.

Then there is the purchase of copyrights, if Qin Muchu wants to adapt a certain film into a movie, then they will buy the copyright.

Originally, there was no such department, because the company didn't have much copyright to operate, except for two movies that were some songs.

But because the company has bought copyrights aggressively this year, this department has been divided into separate departments.

Zhao Mingyu nodded after listening to the report:

"Continue to acquire rights next year."

At the moment, there is no benefit to be seen from the acquisition of copyrights, only expenditures.

And with the number of copyrights acquired so far, even if Qin Muchu is filming all year round, it is enough for him to film for decades.

But in the long run, if you hold the copyright in your hand, you can sell it to others even if you don't shoot it yourself in the future.

Of course, the price will certainly not be the price it is now.

Copyright awareness is still very weak in the current Celestial Empire, but Zhao Mingyu, who has returned from the United States, knows the importance of copyright.

Spend a little money now, and you will get a lot of money later.

After the report of the copyright operation department, Zhao Mingyu set her eyes on the next person again, and the person she was watching immediately began to report herself.

"Mr. Zhao, today my American colleague said that it seems that Director Qin's movie is very popular, and many Americans queue up to watch it on the weekend.

However, there are only a few small theaters over there to release this movie, and the theaters have gone from one film per day to six or seven films a day, and the supply is still in short supply, and many people can't buy tickets.

So at noon today, that is, on Sunday night of US time, many large theaters in the United States have introduced Director Qin's movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", including the largest Regal, AMC, and Cinemark, which can basically be released in North America this week. ”

This is the company's department responsible for the North American release of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

It was established temporarily, disbanded when it ran out, and was jokingly called "set" by other departments.

When the words fell, the eyes of the audience turned to Qin Muchu, who was in the first place, to see his reaction.

There are not many Celestial Empire movies that can be released in North America, and many movies that are said to be released in North America are actually only released in a few theaters in the United States, and some urban cinemas do not have this movie at all.

For example, Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor" is said to be released in North America, but it is actually only released in more than 60 theaters in North America.

The same is true of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which is even worse, with only a dozen theaters showing it.

Because Lao Mouzi has another "Hero" released in North America, and he is a director with some international fame, more than 60 theaters are willing to test the water.

If the box office is high, increase the number of films scheduled, increase the number of theaters released, and if it is low, it will be painted and left.

And Qin Muchu's popularity is almost zero, and it is good to have more than a dozen theaters to release it.

But now that the movie has been actively introduced by North American theaters, thousands of theaters in North America have been released since this week, which shows that the movie is very popular in the United States, and the theater chain smells the business opportunity and is willing to invest heavily to test the waters.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the theater chain to put a film that no one watches, delaying themselves to make money.

Facing everyone's gaze, Qin Muchu just looked down at the document in his hand, writing two strokes on it from time to time, and there was no expression on his face.

So calm? Not happy?

Honor and disgrace are not shocked! Extraordinary!

Similar thoughts flashed through everyone's hearts, and the image of the boss in their minds who had only seen on TV was even taller.

And Zhao Mingyu, who was sitting first on Qin Muchu's left, glanced at what Qin Muchu had written, retracted his gaze and coughed:

"Keep the meeting going, the next department."

……

Finally finished the meeting, Qin Muchu threw the paper that had been written during the entire meeting into the trash can in the conference room.

Zhao Mingyu was next to her, the corners of her eyes twitched, and after Qin Muchu left, she quietly took out the paper, clipped it in her hand, and walked out.

After the two bosses left, the senior executives who participated in the meeting left to leave, but they were all curious about what Qin Muchu wrote, and after throwing it away, Mr. Zhao actually picked it up.

Is it a company secret?

Just as they were brainstorming curiously, Zhao Mingyu, who had picked up the paper, went out of the conference room and inserted the paper into the shredder passing by.

Before it shattered, it was faintly visible that it was full of nine-square grids, and there were "×" and "o" in the grids......

Office of the President.

"Director Qin, the response to "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" seems to be quite good in North America, do you need to pay attention to it?"

Knowing that Qin Muchu was busy with "games" and didn't listen to the content of the meeting at all, Zhao Mingyu asked about the content of the meeting on movies that Qin Muchu might be interested in.

And Qin Muchu, who had played the "circle fork game" for two hours, came to the conclusion that it was impossible to distinguish the winner from the winner by playing this game with himself.

Hearing Zhao Mingyu's question, he raised his head blankly:

"Oh, that's good, it's been on the air for three days, has the box office come out?"

"The box office in the first weekend was $800,000, but only a dozen theaters were released, and the number of theaters that began to show this week should increase." Zhao Mingyu replied.

It was released in more than a dozen theaters, and it was not easy to achieve a box office of $800,000 in three days.

This means that these dozen or so theaters can only achieve such a result by almost filling up the film schedule.

But Qin Muchu had lost interest in continuing to listen when he heard that the box office was only $800,000 in the first weekend.

Blockbusters in the United States are generally released on Fridays, and the box office on the first weekend is the box office on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which is the peak of movie-watching, and the box office is much higher than that from Monday to Thursday.

The first weekend box office is usually the highest, and it is more important, because many people will decide whether to watch the movie based on the box office of the first weekend and the word of mouth of the release.

The $800,000 opening weekend box office is basically the equivalent of a movie hitting the streets.

It's over, it's better than "Golden Armor", and it won't be ridiculed.

Qin Muchu thought to himself.

Last year, Lao Mouzi's "Golden Armor" shouted the slogan of attacking North America and conquering Hollywood, but the North American box office was only more than 6 million US dollars, and it was ridiculed by the media.

But he didn't shout slogans, so he shouldn't be ridiculed.

Leaving the movie behind, Qin Muchu remembered something again, and his expression became serious:

"Are all the donated materials and money ready?"

Hearing Qin Muchu ask about this, Zhao Mingyu also became serious:

"I've just been about to report to you that I've hired more than 200 heavy trucks to deliver supplies...... This is a manifest for supplies. ”

Zhao Mingyu said and took out a dozen lists from the folder and handed them to Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu took the list and browsed them one by one.

Most of the list is food, instant noodles, bread, water, etc., as well as some heating machines for making fires, and then there are tents, quilts, cotton jackets and other warm clothes.

Zhao Mingyu continued:

"The money is also ready, according to your requirements, we have arranged for auditors to go to the site to supervise, and the whereabouts of every penny can be checked."

Qin Muchu nodded when he heard this,

"Pay more attention, continue to buy materials, transport them there, and don't be afraid to spend money."

"Hmm."

Zhao Mingyu nodded, looking at Qin Muchu's gaze a little complicated.

The materials and money donated by Qin Muchu are not a small number.

More than 30 million or nearly 40 million yuan was spent on materials alone, and the money was about the same amount.

Counting the cost of manual transportation, it cost more than 100 million.

Qin Muchu put down the bill of supplies and found that Zhao Mingyu's expression was not quite right, and thought that it was a little difficult to spend such a large amount of money.

But all his money was invested in "Iron Man", and the donation could only rely on the company, so he couldn't help frowning:

"What, isn't the company running out of cash?"

"No, it's enough, but it's almost spent, and if you continue to donate in the future, it may be difficult to implement some of the company's development plans next year." Zhao Mingyu said.

Qin Muchu breathed a sigh of relief:

"This is the main thing, and the plan is postponed."

"Hmm."

"I'll leave if it's okay."

Qin Muchu picked up the clothes on the chair and was about to slip away, when suddenly he stopped again and looked at Zhao Mingyu:

"Statistics of the company's hometown employees in the disaster-stricken provinces in the south, if you can't go back for the Chinese New Year this year, you will be given more year-end bonuses."

"Got it."

Qin Muchu thought about it, there should be nothing missing, and he prepared to go out.

Suddenly, there was a call from behind him.

"Director Qin."

Qin Muchu turned his head and looked at Zhao Mingyu.

"What else?"

Zhao Mingyu shook her head, Wan Nian's cold face actually showed a smile, and she said:

"Awesome."

Qin Muchu was stunned.

This domineering female president would say "awesome".

Quickly understood what she was talking about, smiled and shook her head to open the door......

……

I got out of the company and drove out of the parking lot.

Yanjing City is covered in silver, snow-white.

The snow on the road has been cleared by sanitation workers and does not affect traffic.

Qin Muchu drove on the road and turned on the wipers.

The sky was snowing again.

Yanjing City was snowing on the 17th, and on the morning of the 18th, there was a thick layer on the ground, and there were children's cheers at the door of the courtyard.

The southern provinces have been suffering from heavy snowfall for more than half a month, and finally caused a snow disaster.

At present, it is only the beginning of the show, but the power system of several provinces has been paralyzed, and hundreds of towns have lost power in the winter.

There is no heating in the south, and if the power is out, the air conditioner cannot be turned on, so it will have to fight the cold winter.

It's fine in normal times, but this year's winter in the south is exceptionally cold.

Not to mention that power outages can cause other life problems.

And many of the south's highways and rail networks have been paralyzed, leaving many stranded on trains and highways, with a severe shortage of subsistence supplies.

And the heavy snow has no intention of stopping, which means that this snow disaster has just begun, and it will be more serious in the future.

……

Without saying anything all the way, I drove back to the courtyard.

There are also a few snowmen standing in the alley, and it is estimated that some children built them.

Qin Muchu looked a little upset, thinking about whether to kick it, but in the end he didn't do it.

Snowmen are right, children are just happy to build snowmen.

It's not because there's a camera in front of that house.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the gate was open.

Qin Muchu walked into the courtyard and entered his own house, and saw Jiang Wen sitting on the sofa.

Jiang Wen was reading the newspaper when he heard the movement and tilted his head to look at the door.

"Where?"

After a pause, a dirty smile suddenly appeared on his face:

"Chic again? And with whom? Three together? ”

"It is illegal to gather a crowd."

Qin Muchu rolled his eyes, patted the snowflakes on his clothes outside the door, and closed the door when he entered the house and hung his clothes on the hanger.

"Went to the company."

It's okay not to say it, but Jiang Wen is even more surprised to say this.

"Yo? The sun is coming out in the west? Can you still go to work? ”

Jiang Wen knows Qin Muchu's urine very well, this product is completely a hands-off shopkeeper, and he doesn't go to the company a few times a year.

Qin Muchu walked to the table, picked up the water cup and poured himself a cup of hot water to drink it to warm his body.

"The company held an annual meeting and recruited a lot of new department heads, which made me get to know each other in the past."

"I mean, no wonder you go to the company."

Jiang Wen put down the newspaper and patted the coffee table:

"Come, come and see."

Only then did Qin Muchu notice that there was a thick stack of documents on the coffee table.

Walked to the side, picked up the top one, and flipped through it:

"What is this?"

"The house I picked for you."

Jiang Wen said with a smile,

"Didn't you say you should buy a house before? I found some friends, these are the best houses in Yanjing City, the security system is good, and the people living around are either rich or expensive.

The paparazzi will definitely not be able to get in, and it is very suitable for you. ”

Qin Muchu didn't expect Jiang Wen's efficiency to be so fast, he said this last time, and he had found so many suitable houses in just half a month.

I guess it's a lot of relationships.

"There are decorations, you can live in them if you buy them. There are also those that are not decorated, what style do you like, decorate by yourself.

These are in the south of the city, these are in the east of the city, and this one is next to the Forbidden City...... The one you have in your hand is from Wangfujing. ”

Jiang Wen said, dividing the documents into several stacks.

Qin Muchu was a little moved, **** knew everything about it, it was estimated that every document had been carefully read.

He looked at the papers in his hand, took a few more from the coffee table, and flipped through them separately.

The document not only states the size of the house, but also attaches pictures of the interior and exterior of the house, which is very nice.

But he still put down the document in his hand and said apologetically:

"Dad, let's take a break from the house."

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something.

"In ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines, although they don't pay attention to this anymore, but there are still a lot of powerful people doing this.

You like them, they like you, you love me. Even if you don't need this house now, you will always need it in the future. ”

Seeing that Jiang Wen had misunderstood, Qin Muchu smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"That's not the reason...... That one...... I have no money. ”
