Chapter 752 The Seventh Biggest Hollywood
At the same time that "Crazy Racing" landed in major theaters in the mainland, the 2008 company annual meeting of Haotian Holdings will also be held soon.

Early in the morning, Chen Hao came to the beaming company.

The conference will start at 8:[-], and Chen Hao, who came early, read the e-mail sent to him by Smart in the office.

This email is a bit interesting, it's the first time Chen Hao saw it, the 2008 Hollywood Film Company Power List!
No. 1, Warner Bros., with a total North American annual box office of 17.05 billion US dollars, a market share of 18.6%, 20 films released, and the annual blockbuster "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight" with 5.32 million US dollars;

……

This is the annual North American total box office list of major Hollywood film companies in 2008!

There is no doubt that the six giants occupy the top six on the list and directly account for about 75% of all box office, which is still in the case of a decline in this data compared to last year.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Big Six in Hollywood, but to Chen Hao's surprise, Liang Tianchi Films actually ranked No. 7, which is No. 1 among all independent film companies!
With the outstanding performance of "Iron Man" with 3.18 million and "Twilight" with 1.87 million, Liang Tianchi Films successfully overthrew the ten thousand-year-old Seven Lions Gate Films.

Lionsgate Films has been ranked No. 7 on the list for many years, which is the No. 1 independent film company!
Lionsgate Films can be said to be the most successful independent film company in Hollywood at present. Although Liangtianchi Films has risen rapidly in recent years, the influence and strength of the established independent film company are still there.

Except for being overthrown by New Line in 2007 and dropped to No. 8, Lionsgate has always been the leading independent film company.

New Line, which ranked No. 2008 among independent film companies last year, was merged by Warner Bros., which directly made Warner Bros. surpass last year's champion Paramount, and ranked No. 1 on the [-] list!

After the acquisition of New Line, Lionsgate is undoubtedly the most favorable competitor at No. 7 on the list.

But I didn't expect to be done by the measuring ruler again. In 2008, it ranked No. 2 on the list again for the second consecutive year!

At the same time, this is the first time that Liangtianchi Films has ranked 7th, which is also the 1st place among independent film companies!
There is no doubt that the rapid development of Liang Tianchi Films has attracted the greatest attention of Hollywood giants and independent film companies.

In the past few years, Liangtianchi Pictures could only hover around the top ten of the list. In 2007, the highest ranking reached No. 9, behind New Line and Lions Gate. Unexpectedly, it went directly to No. 2008 in 7!

More importantly, the annual North American box office of Liang Tianchi Pictures in 2008 is very close to the last of the top six, 20th Century Fox.

And the 8th Lionsgate Films' annual total box office is not even half of that of Liangtianchi Films, the gap is obvious!

And with the successful development of the two blockbuster series "Iron Man" and "Twilight", plus the restart of the "Fast and Furious" series.

It can be said that the potential of Liang Tianchi Films is not inferior to that of Lionsgate Films, and it even looks better!

It seems that it is very difficult for Lionsgate to catch up with Quan Tianchi!

On the contrary, relying on the three major series, Liang Tianchi Pictures is likely to beat the last place among the six!
If, in 2009, the ranking of Tianchi Films rose to No. 6, it would be interesting!

When Chen Hao saw this, he naturally laughed happily, but stopped laughing.

Because Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng will destroy it, Liang Tianchi Films performed so well, and announced the Marvel superhero movie universe plan, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing.

好在《钢铁侠2》要上映的话应该是在2010年了，量天尺影业2009年的重头戏只有《暮光之城2》和《速度与激情4》。

However, if you are too good, you can't hide it. Chen Hao must be prepared for possible situations in the future.

"Mr. Chen, everyone has arrived in the meeting room." Xiaoying pushed the door open and came in.

"Here we come!" Chen Hao came back to his senses, got up and went directly to the meeting room.

When Chen Hao walked into the meeting room, everyone stood up, and Chen Hao quickly put his hands down, "Sit down!"

"Time flies so fast, another year has passed." Chen Hao said.

"Happy time is always short." Hao Yi laughed.

"Hahaha……"

"Okay, let's wait until tonight for reminiscing about the past, and do the business first." Chen Hao said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuang, you should invite me first!"

Zhuang Liqi heard and said, "Then I'll start by throwing bricks to attract jade. In 2008, Haotian Film and Television invested in the production of 3 TV series, namely "The Queen of the World", "Who Calls My Youth" and "Snow Leopard".

However, these three TV series will be broadcast this year, that is, in 2009. Last year, the company broadcast two TV series "Latent" and "Snail House".

As for "Rouge Snow", it will also be aired on the stars this year.

Among them, "Latent" premiered on the three satellite TVs of Imperial City, Shancheng, and Tomato, and achieved average ratings of 2.12%, 1.32%, and 1.01% respectively.

Ranked No. 2008, No. 4 and No. 15 in the 20 Provincial Satellite TV's annual ratings list respectively!
The broadcasting rights of "Latent" were sold for a total of 3 rounds, with a total of 140 million per episode, and a cumulative income of 4200 million RMB!

The play invested 2000 million yuan, excluding costs and taxes, the net profit was 1570 million yuan!

"Snail House" was aired on Tomato TV, with an average rating of 2.53%, ranking No. 3 in the annual ratings of provincial satellite TV!

The broadcast rights of "Snail House" were only sold for 1 round, and then it was banned, with a total of 75 per episode and a cumulative income of 2625 million yuan!

The play invested 1800 million yuan, excluding costs and taxes, the net profit was 431 million yuan!

As for "Rouge Snow" has not yet aired on the stars, it is only aired on local channels in various provinces and cities, and the ratings are not bad!

To sum up, in 2008, Haotian Film and Television had a total revenue of RMB 6825 million. After deducting investment costs of RMB 6600 million and taxes, the company's net profit was negative RMB 798 million! "

Everyone at the scene opened their eyes wide after hearing the words. This is the first time that Haotian Film and Television has suffered a loss!
Chen Hao raised his brows, which is not surprising. Among the three dramas, "Snail House" only aired the first round, and then it was banned. The copyright could not be sold at all.

As for "Rouge Snow", Chen Hao decided to give all the proceeds from "Rouge Snow" to Fan Fairy as compensation because he had a falling out with Fan Yaojing.

This is why Zhuang Liqi didn't announce the income of "Rouge Snow" just now.

"In 2009, in addition to the three TV series produced last year that will be aired on the stars, the company will also tentatively invest in three new films, namely "Du Lala's Promotion", "Sword III" and "Emperor Capital". love story".

Among them, "Du Lala's Promotion" invested 2000 million yuan, "Sword and Sword III" cost 4500 million yuan, and "Emperor Capital Love Story" cost 3000 million yuan, a total of 9500 million yuan! " Zhuang Liqi said.

"The net profit of Haotian Film and Television last year was due to the national department's policy and my reasons. Don't think too much about this point. Everyone knows Mr. Zhuang's ability. I look forward to Haotian Film and Television's performance this year. " Chen Hao said.

"We must live up to our trust!" Zhuang Liqi nodded.

The reason for this is not clear to everyone, but Zhuang Liqi must have known about it. If it weren't for those two accidents, Haotian Film and Television would not have suffered a loss.

So as long as this kind of situation does not recur in 2009, Zhuang Liqi is still full of confidence in making profits.

Chen Hao nodded to Zhuang Liqi, and then said, "Mr. Chen, let's talk about it next!"

"Okay, then I will report to you Haotian Films' work in 2008!" Chen Guofu nodded and said, "Last year, the company participated in the investment and production of 7 films.

They are "Ghost in My Heart", "Red Cliff", "2012", "Spike Fang", "My Girls' Generation", "Nightclub" and "The Wind"!
However, only two films were screened, "Spike Fang" and "2", plus "On the Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", "Li Mi's Conjecture" and "Those Years", which were invested and produced last year, the company had a total of 2012 films last year. The movie is released.

Among them, "Spike Fang" had a total investment of 2200 million yuan, and the final box office was 630 million in the Mainland and 230 million in Xiangjiang.

The total investment of "Red Cliff" is 4000 million RMB, accounting for 10% of the investment. The global box office of "Red Cliff" is 1.2 million US dollars. The company received a box office share of 3936 million RMB.

"2012" has a total investment of 2.5 million yuan, of which the company invested 1.6 million yuan, and the box office in the mainland is 3.71 million yuan. It is the annual box office champion in the mainland in 2008!
The box office of the entire Asian region was 1.1192 million US dollars, the box office of North America was 9250 million US dollars, and the other regions were 12052 million US dollars. The global box office totaled 3.2494 million US dollars!
It is the highest Chinese-language live-action movie in the world!It is also the second highest box office of Chinese-language movies in the world, second only to "Kung Fu Panda"!
In the box office share of "2012", the company can get 15893 million RMB from the Asian region, and 28330 million RMB in profits from regions outside Asia!

In addition, "2012" also has 5000 million advertisement placements, 1500 million audio-visual copyrights, 300 million movie channel copyrights, and 3699 million yuan after deducting taxes!
That is to say, the company can obtain a total of 2012 million RMB from "47922", excluding the 1.6 million investment cost, the net profit is 3.19 million RMB!

"Painted Skin" has a total investment of 1.2 million yuan, and the company participated in the investment of 4000 million yuan, accounting for one-third of the total. The final box office in the mainland was 2.293 million yuan, and the company received a box office share of 3057 million yuan. After excluding distribution and taxes, it lost 1400 million yuan.

"Li Mi's Conjecture" had a total investment of 2000 million yuan, and the final box office in the mainland was 1200 million yuan. The company received a box office share of 456 million yuan. After excluding distribution and taxes, it lost 1600 million yuan.

The total investment of "Those Years" was 1200 million yuan, and the final box office in the mainland was 7639 million yuan. The company received a box office share of 2902 million yuan. After excluding distribution and taxes, the net profit was 1267 million yuan.

To sum up, the company's net profit in 2008 from movies was 2.7412 million RMB! "

Everyone looked at each other in dismay after hearing this, because among the 6 films, only "2012" and "Those Years" made money, and the other films basically lost money.

If it weren't for the net profit of "2012" as high as 3.19 million yuan, I am afraid that the company would not have a high profit of 2.7412 million yuan.

However, making a movie is like gambling. If you win, you lose, and in the first decade of the century, it was commonplace to lose money at the box office.

Fortunately, there is Chen Hao as the mainstay, otherwise the performance of Haotian Films will be ugly, and it will have a big impact on the rumored listing this year.

"In 2009, the company will invest in the production of 5 films, namely "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", "Perfect", "Ocean Paradise", "On the Journey" and Mr. Chen's new film.

Among them, "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire" invested 1.3 million yuan, "Perfect" cost 3000 million yuan, "Ocean Paradise" 800 million yuan, and "On the Journey" 700 million yuan.

Mr. Chen's new film has a total investment of 2 million, and the company contributed 1.25 million!
Among them, "Ocean Paradise" and "On the Journey" are the two main films promoted by the company's new director support plan in 2009!

That is to say, the company's total film investment in 2009 will be as high as 3 million RMB! "Chen Guofu said.

For Chen Hao's new film, Huaying, Bernard and Bright are still involved, each contributing 2500 million RMB!

"Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" is naturally owned by Xu Ke, because he has his own special effects company, so the total investment is not too high.

"Perfect" is the first collaboration between International Chapter and International Fan.

"Ocean Paradise" is a public welfare film, and Chen Hao is not going to make money anyway.

As for "People on the Journey", everyone is naturally familiar with it, but Chen Hao directly made Xu Shanzheng the director. Judging from Xu Shanzheng's performance, it should not be lost.

"Haotian Management currently has 10 entertainers, 4 actors and 6 singers. Xiaohu had two movies released last year, and Yaya and Tang Tang starred in "Latent" and "Snail House" respectively.

The ratings of the two TV series are very good on the provincial satellite TV, and their popularity continues to rise, and they have become the most popular two female roles in China.

Especially Yaya, relying on the accumulation of the previous two years, won the Golden Eagle Goddess in one fell swoop in last year's Golden Eagle Festival!

Speaking of which, the only two Golden Eagle Goddesses are contracted by Haotian.

Deng Chao also has 3 movies released, and his popularity is catching up with that of Chen Kun. He already has 5 endorsements on him, while commercial acting has not received many because he is busy with filming.

In terms of singers, Zhang Jingying, Li Yuchun and He Jie have all released an album, which has sold well, and there are also many endorsements and commercial performances.

The total revenue of the company in 2008 was RMB 4150 million, an increase of 23.88% year-on-year, and the net profit was RMB 1586 million, an increase of 23.8% year-on-year. "Li Wanli said.

　Thanks to "Du Tianzi" for the 500 tip!
