Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 744 2008 and 2009
After Chen Hao watched the Christmas game at Staples Stadium last night, he returned to the villa and had a "Christmas game" with Taylor Swift.

And the flames of war continued to spread in the early morning of the next day!
Chen Hao looked at the undulating mildew in front of him, stroked those long, straight and fair legs, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Chen, you gave me a lot of inspiration last night." Taylor Swift looked at Chen Hao and smiled.

"Really!" Chen Hao said absently.

"I'm going to write it down when I get back!" Taylor Swift smiled, "By the way, you are in the song!"

Chen Hao's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he almost confessed, "Well, can you not write my name!"

Meimei grabbed Chen Hao's arms in an instant, then fell on the bed, her eyes were closed tightly, as if she had fallen asleep.

Seeing the turn, Chen Hao quickly shook Taylor Swift, "Let's discuss about the song!"

But Meimei murmured weakly, "I'm so tired, let me go to sleep first, sleep for a while!"

Chen Hao looked at the sleeping Taylor, his face was cloudy and uncertain. This Christmas, will he be on the list? !

I won't be the leading brother on the list!
Sure enough, the risk of falling in love with Taylor Swift is really a bit high, and if you don't pay attention, it will be on the North American bulletin board, and it will be known all over the world!
After sighing, Chen Hao got up to wash up, and when he came to the restaurant, he felt Xiaoying's death stare.

Chen Hao ate breakfast with a smirk, and asked, "Have you booked your flight ticket yet?"

After listening to the reports from the three of Smart in the morning, Chen Hao will return to Huaxia!

"Chicken ticket?" Xiaoying frowned when she heard the words, and said coldly, "Why, the chicken is useless, do you want to book a ticket and buy another one?"

"Cough cough cough..." Chen Hao was shocked after hearing this, "I mean...forget it..."

I saw Xiaoying holding a fork in her left hand to hold down a sausage, and holding a knife in her right hand to do everything. The sound of the knife slicing across the plate, coupled with Xiaoying's cold eyes, made Chen Hao couldn't help but flinch. I shrank my ass.

After a while, Chen Hao smiled and said, "I have a meeting in the morning, why don't you go shopping, Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's buy something for our parents and brother to take home!"

Hearing this, Xiaoying's eyes softened a little, she nodded after thinking about it, "Okay, do you want to come with me...forget it..."

Chen Hao frowned when he heard this, but didn't answer.

After eating, Chen Hao was about to leave, looking at Xiaoying who was not moving, he said, "Let's go!"

Xiaoying snorted, pouted her red lips, "What about the women upstairs?"

Chen Hao smiled and said, "It's okay, she will leave by herself!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Hao rubbed the soles of his feet and slipped away.

After arriving at the company, not long after Chen Hao sat down in the office, Smart, Kevin Fitch and Benjamin all came in.

"Let's start!" Chen Hao looked at the three people in front of him and said.

"Okay, let me talk about it first!" Smart nodded, "The company participated in the investment and production of 2008 films in 4, namely "Beast Meal 2", "Twilight", "Dance Out of Me" Life 2" and "Fast and Furious 4"!
And there are 6 movies released this year, namely "Taken 3", "Dancing Out of My Life 2", "Iron Man", "Shark Beach", "Beast Meal 2" and "Twilight"!
Among them, "The Twilight Saga" is still being released globally, so the statistical data temporarily excludes it.

"Taken 3", with an investment cost of 5000 million US dollars, has a box office of 8679 million in North America, ranking 2008rd in the 33 annual box office list in North America!
$3.166 million worldwide!
The company received a share of US$4773 million from the North American box office, US$8043 million from overseas, and a total of US$12816 million from the global box office.

After deducting taxes, the company actually received USD 11130 million, and after deducting investment costs, the net profit was USD 6130 million.

"Dancing Out of My Life 2" had an investment cost of 2000 million US dollars, the company contributed 1000 million, and the North American box office was 5801 million US dollars, ranking 2008st in the 51 annual box office list in North America!
$1.12 million worldwide!
The company received a share of US$1740 million from the North American box office, US$944 million from overseas, and a total of US$2684 million from the global box office.

After deducting taxes, the company actually received USD 2455 million, and after deducting investment costs, the net profit was USD 1455 million.

"Iron Man", with an investment cost of 1.3 million US dollars, and a North American box office of 3.1841 million US dollars, ranked second in North America's 2008 annual box office list, second only to "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" with 5.32 million US dollars!
全球票房5.9023亿美元，排名2008年全球票房排行榜季军，仅次于9.968亿美元的《蝙蝠侠前传2：黑暗骑士》和7.866亿美元的《夺宝奇兵4：水晶骨头》！
The company received a share of US$20696 million from the North American box office, US$9513 million from overseas, and a total of US$30209 million from the global box office.

After excluding taxes, the company actually received US$27461 million, and after excluding investment costs and the 25% global box office share given to the director, the net profit was negative US$294 million. "

Speaking of which, the three of Smart turned to Chen Hao, and Chen Hao alone took away 25% of the global box office share of "Iron Man", which directly caused the "Iron Man" project to lose money.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, he deserved it.

"The investment cost of "Shark Beach" was 1700 million US dollars, and the box office in North America was 5362 million, ranking 2008nd in the 52 annual box office list in North America!
$1.191 million worldwide!
The company received a share of US$2949 million from the North American box office, US$2291 million from overseas, and a total of US$5240 million from the global box office.

After deducting taxes, the company actually received USD 4748 million, and after deducting investment costs, the net profit was USD 3048 million.

《兽餐2》投资成本1800万美元，北美票房1400万，排名北美2008年年度票房排行榜第105位！
The company earned $840 million from the North American box office.

After deducting taxes, the company actually received USD 798 million, and after deducting investment costs, the net profit was negative USD 1002 million.

总体来说，在电影投资制作方面，公司2008年共计投资1.5亿美元进行4部电影的制作，同比2007年的2.04亿美元降低了26.47%。

In terms of box office, excluding the box office of "Twilight", which is still in theaters, the company won a North American box office of 2008 million US dollars in 5.3083, compared with 2007's 4.0991 million US dollars, an increase of 29.49%!

The overseas box office was US$6.211 million, an increase of 2007% compared with US$4.704 million in 32.03!

The global box office was 11.5193 billion US dollars, an increase of 2007% compared with 8.8031's 30.85 million US dollars!

The company received a share of US$5.1789 million in the global box office, and after deducting taxes, it actually received US$4.6592 million. After excluding investment costs, the net profit was US$9337 million!
Compared with last year's loss of 3278 million US dollars, an increase of 1.2615 million US dollars! "

Chen Hao nodded with a smile when he heard the words. Last year, Liangtianchi Pictures suffered a loss for the first time, which made everyone in the company tremble with fear. Fortunately, it has achieved a profit of nearly 1 million yuan this year!
This reassured many employees who were worried that Liangtianchi Pictures would collapse.

Benjamin and Kevin Fitch frowned when they heard the words. It would be great for the company to make money.

Looking at Chen Hao's face, Smart explained, "Of course the profits are good, but a large part of the reason is that the three movies with the largest investment in 2007, "Iron Man", "Taken 3" and "Shark Shore" were all released this year.

It is equivalent to transferring last year's profits to this year. As for next year, two movies made this year will be released, "Twilight" and "Fast and Furious 4".

If "Fast and Furious 4" does well at the box office, then next year should be a lot easier for us. "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, and he knew it was the case, but he was still quite optimistic about "Fast and Furious 4".

Not to mention how much the box office makes, but at least it can reverse the word-of-mouth of the entire series and lay the foundation for future explosions, and at the same time it should not lose money anymore.

And this year's box office revenue has increased again, which makes Chen Hao even more happy, because last year's box office data is very unreal, and it is entirely because of a "Transformers" that the report looks so good.

But in fact, Liangtianchi Films only accounted for one-third of the investment in "Transformers", and this year it was directly kicked out.

"Transformers" does not belong to Liang Tianchi Pictures, but to Spielberg. After removing external forces, the company's box office revenue can still increase, and this can truly reflect Liang Tianchi Pictures' own actual capabilities.

"Go ahead!" Chen Hao said.

"The company also has income from film distribution. In 2008, the company controlled or participated in the distribution of 8 films, a decrease of 33.33% compared to last year.

A total of US$1.05 million was invested in publicity and distribution expenses, and the box office share was US$1.28 million. After excluding costs, the profit was US$2300 million. After taxation, the net profit was US$2185 million.

The net profit of the company issued last year was 5880 million US dollars, and the net profit in 2008 decreased by 62.84% compared with last year!

By the way, the company's current distribution capacity has expanded to about 2000, an increase of about 200 compared to last year.

In addition, the company's film library also has copyright income. Through other distribution channels, the film library has brought a total of 5800 million US dollars in revenue to the company, which is 300 million US dollars more than last year.

After deducting taxes, the company's copyright income net profit in 2008 was 5510 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 11.31%! said Smart.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. The distribution and copyright are increasing year by year, obviously because the distribution capacity and film library of Liang Tianchi Films are gradually growing.

"In 2008, the company spent a total of 2.55 million US dollars on film investment, production, distribution and copyright, with a revenue of 13.3793 billion US dollars and a net profit of 1.7032 million US dollars!
Let’s talk about the company’s other expenses, first of all, the company’s loans and debts, the loans are 1530 million, the debts are 6000 million, and the company’s rent, wages and other expenses are 350 million, a total of 7880 million US dollars.

Counting all expenses and profits, the company's actual net profit in 2008 was US$9152 million! said Smart.

Chen Hao is very satisfied with the annual income of nearly [-] million. What's more, the success of "Iron Man" and the opening of the Marvel Super Movie Universe. The next few years will be the time when Liangtianchi Pictures will really explode.

After Smart glanced at Chen Hao, he continued, "Next is Liang Tianchi Films' 2009 film plan, the company will invest in the production of 5 films next year.

分别是投资2亿的《钢铁侠2》、1100万的《电锯惊魂6》、1500万占据一半投资的《舞出我人生3》，投资1500万的《兽餐3》以及5100万的《暮光之城2》！
The five films will have a total investment of US$5 million, an increase of 2.92% from last year's US$1.5 million.

In addition, in 2009, the company also needs to repay bank loans of 1530 million US dollars, Marvel debt of 5000 million US dollars, and other costs of 350 million US dollars.

In other words, the company's current known spending in 2009 will reach $3.608 million! "

Chen Hao nodded slowly when he heard the words. The company was losing money in 2007, and this year it just turned a profit. Next year, it will suddenly invest another 3.6 million US dollars. This is not a small amount, especially for an independent film company.

"Is the money in the company's account and the money that has not yet arrived enough?" Chen Hao asked with a frown.

"Barely enough, the 4 films have received a lot of money, and "Twilight" is currently in theaters, so we should be able to get the box office revenue one after another early next year.

And the $3.608 million won't come out all at once. In addition, your "Iron Man" global box office share will be paid a little later, and the company will be able to turn around! said Smart.

Chen Hao was relieved when he heard the words. He was not in a hurry to get the box office dividend of "Iron Man". Anyway, his personal assets have reached a terrifying figure now, and he is not short of money.

With an investment of 2 million US dollars in "Iron Man 2", Chen Hao was still not allowed to inject capital into Liangtianchi Films, which already made Chen Hao very satisfied.

"Benjamin, let's talk about the future 3D!" Chen Hao said directly.

Hearing this, Benjamin said, "The 3D movie projection system developed by the company has been officially put into production and sales. In 2008, the company sold a total of 156 sets of projection equipment.

Among them, 106 sets were sold to mainland China, and only 50 sets were sold in the United States.

每套3D放映设备的售价是15万美元，而我们的利润空间是6万美元，也就是说公司2008年一整年的销售额为2340万美元。

The profit was $936 million, and after taxes, the net profit was $889 million! "

Chen Hao nodded in relief when he heard the words, finally he has his own 3D projection system.

However, the 156 sets sold by the company in the first year were not too many, and 106 of them came from the mainland, of which Chen Hao's own Sihai Haotian Cinemas contributed as many as 66 sets.

The rest is the shares ordered by Huaying and Polyburner under the introduction of Chen Hao.

"The current growth rate of theaters in the mainland is increasing every year. In recent years, there should be a steady demand." Chen Hao said, "The key is to open up the American market. After all, the number of large screens in the United States is the largest in the world."

Benjamin said, "In fact, there is still a lack of a hot spot that can make 3D truly accepted by all movie fans. In addition, the ticket price of 3D is more expensive, so theaters will definitely flock to it."

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, "Actually, there is no rush, the opportunity will come soon!"

Benjamin heard the words, "What opportunity?"

"Cameron's "Avatar"!" Chen Hao said.

Benjamin frowned when he heard the words, thinking of "Titanic", and then thinking about Cameron's nickname of film technology madman, and his "Avatar" was indeed a 3D movie.

If "Avatar" can reach the level of "Titanic", then it is indeed possible to make 3D really popular and popularized.
