Chapter 340 The reason why the boss loves to hold annual meetings

The news that Gu Zhongyu and others returned to China once again grabbed the headlines.

The words Oscar and Gu Zhongyu have become hot search topics recently, and Chen Sicheng and Sha Liz have also been on the hot search list.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the entire land of China seems to be in a state of joy. Every day there are various news reports on last year's GDP and other news, or some Spring Festival travel phenomena.

Showing off year-end awards has also become popular in the entertainment industry.

Tang Yan's studio is more conventional. The year-end bonuses are some shopping cards, vouchers and household appliances. The main reason is that she and Zongheng collaborated on two dramas, "A Good Marriage" and "Why Shengxiaomo", but they have not started to attract investment. So the funds are tight.

Although Yang Mi is stingy, he showed uncharacteristic generosity in this year-end bonus. Jiaxing directly distributed red envelopes ranging from 5 to 20 yuan to employees below the director. For a while, netizens were "hugging" ," which attracted the envy of many colleagues.

However, their efforts this time were not as generous as those of classmate Sissi!

Feiyu Entertainment, which has only been established for a year, the boss Liu Yufei paid ten months' salary to ordinary employees as bonuses at one time, and also gave each of its artists Chen Xiao, Yang Caiyu, Liu Yan and others a sports car!

There is naturally a reason why Liu Yufei is so generous. All of this is the confidence given to her by the broadcast of "Meng Hua Lu"!

Just before Gu Zhongyu and others attended the Golden Globe Awards, "Menghualu" successfully succeeded "Descendants of the Sun" and was broadcast at the Golden Eagle Private Theater on Mango Channel, and the online broadcast platform was Penguin Video.

Liu Yufei's last TV series was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 2006, so "Meng Hua Lu" became her first TV series as an adult. Therefore, from the beginning of the filming and project establishment, there has been a lot of attention from the outside world. .

When it was aired, it just happened to take over the popularity caused by "Descendants of the Sun". The ratings for the premiere were no worse than the former. In the first episode alone, when Zhao Pan'er, played by Liu Yufei, appeared holding a boat, it broke 2%!

The number of online views has repeatedly exceeded records, with views exceeding 15 million within 2 hours of being online, one billion within 7 days of being online, and then 15 billion!

On social media, hot search terms related to "Meng Hua Lu" continue to dominate the screen: "Gu Pan Sheng Hui", "The Spring of Yan Gou", "Meng Hua Lu Wins Ma", Weibo readings have exceeded 10 billion!

Costume dramas are indeed Sissi’s comfort zone. There is really no rival in the same age group. How could other 85-flower dramas have such terrifying popularity in just a few episodes!

And the audience was delighted to find that a domestic drama finally produced a high-quality costume drama that can be watched, which almost combines the elements of hit dramas: the male and female protagonists are good-looking, their costumes are exquisite and elegant, the plot is not witty, and the heroine The plot is not silly and sweet, the love line and the career line go hand in hand, the pace is not lagging, there is no female competition between women, there is only a warm plot of three sisters helping each other to start a business, and even the supporting characters are very lovable. In addition, unlike previous Qing Dynasty palace dramas, the story of "Menghua Lu" is set in the Song Dynasty. The elegant tea culture and market culture of the Song Dynasty liberated audiences who were tired of Qing palace dramas.

Therefore, "Menghua Lu" also has a good reputation. The Douban score reached 8.5 not long after it was aired. Because the audience has been tortured by the Qing palace drama for too long, there has been a phenomenon of retaliatory high scores, and the score is still rising. , there is a trend of breaking 9!

With Liu Yufei’s high national popularity + a well-received drama series, the investment situation of this drama is also unexpectedly good!

Currently, "Menghualu" has more than 30 advertisers, including Mead Johnson, Oreo, Pepsi, Haitian, OPPO mobile phones, Geely and other brands, and the advertising threshold has been raised to 500 million.

An advertising agency revealed to the media that advertising placement is calculated on a per-second basis, and now there is no room for advertising in "Menghualu" at all. "A certain beverage brand has a budget of 500 million and wants to insert patches, but is still waiting for the schedule." There was a customer who couldn't wait for the schedule and made an online placement. The price was about 150 million.

This is only for the video platform, and Mango’s investment promotion has not been taken into account.

According to conservative estimates, after the show is finished, excluding the share, it will at least bring no less than 150 million in revenue to Feiyu Film and Television!

Both Liu Yufei and her daughter were shocked. They didn't expect that they could make so much money by investing in TV series. Even if all of Sissi's previous TV series were added together, the net income would not be so high!

Mother and daughter felt very lucky that they had followed Gu Zhongyu's advice and started working alone. If they had been working stupidly for others, how could they earn so much?

Of course, Zongheng Film and Television is not exempt from this. As a major shareholder, in fact, according to Fan Binbin, he was originally prepared to give him an extra three months' salary. However, after seeing Feiyu Film and Television's feats, he felt that he was too stingy?

She couldn't accept the reality that she was being compared to a little girl like Liu Yufei!

After asking Gu Zhongyu and others for their opinions, of course it was mainly Gu Zhongyu's opinion, they finally decided to directly pay half a year's salary as a reward. By the way, they also bought a bunch of mobile phones, computers, and cars as gifts to the company's employees. In addition to cars, etc. In addition to big-ticket items, even the most junior employees can at least win a mobile phone!

Then, netizens praised Boss Gu for being a rich man!

Only Gu Zhongyu's heart is bleeding, MD, I need to talk to Qianqian in advance in the future. There are only a few people in their company, so it's fine if the rewards are generous. But the manager has a big business, with nearly a thousand employees, so many people have one person each. Cell phones cost millions!

Fortunately, the company has made a lot of money this year. After Running Man is launched next year, another huge amount of money will be brought into the account, and only then can we issue so many bonuses.

Throughout 2013, Zongheng mainly produced three movies. "Partners in China" brought in revenue of 3.2 million yuan, "The Invisible Guest" has just been released, with 1.8 million yuan, and "Macau Storm" is estimated to be 1.5 million yuan. 2012 million, judging from the box office alone, it is slightly less than in . This is mainly because Zongheng is currently working on more projects at the same time and indirectly participating in them. Film and television dramas by Liu Yufei, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, etc. all have Zongheng’s team. In charge, although the income collection cycle has become longer, the overall increase is still huge!

The TV series "Descendants of the Sun" earned almost 80 million in just the first round of broadcast on the TV station. The online platform made about 30 to 40 million, making more than 100 million. This does not include copyright, peripherals, and business promotion. money

The drama "Legend of Wu Zetian" has not been aired yet, but it is actually about to pay back. After all, the heroine + Fan Binbin + Wu Zetian + court drama... Just by looking at the label, you can tell that the potential is unlimited. The advertising and business cooperation that has been negotiated have already spent the money. Got it back!

Otherwise, after so many film and television productions, the company began to transform into producing TV series. It’s so profitable!

In other words, if you spend 100 million to hire these people to star in a TV series starring a popular star, then a TV station will buy it. With the support of these popular stars, the TV station will be willing to spend money, and the TV station will make money.

The business chain is like this. Film and television production companies can make money, actors can make money, and TV stations can also make money. As for businessmen, they have money anyway, but who is the unlucky one in the end?

Ordinary viewers who stay in front of the TV and watch TV.

Then most netizens complained about how domestic TV dramas have become what they are now, and there were also a small number of die-hard fans of celebrities who praised their babies for their explosive acting skills and so on!

This has resulted in most netizens jumping over the wall to follow Korean, Japanese, American, British and even Russian dramas, which they find interesting.

Then the authorities issued a cold restriction order!

How is this different from the policy that was introduced to restrict the entry of neon animation into the country?

The difference is that this time it is a political dispute, last time it was said that Neon anime has pornographic parts!

Co-author I am from a generation that grew up watching pornographic anime!

In addition to the benefits brought by normal investment in movies and TV series in China, the rest comes from endorsements. The leading artists of Zongheng Entertainment, Fan Binbin and Liu Shishi, have already earned eight figures in endorsement fees. Naza, Wan Qian, and Zhu Yilong , Zhang Ruoyun and others are now in high positions and have seven-digit endorsement fees.

After Gu Zhongyu participated in "The Story of Strange Pagoda" last year, he also received two rare endorsements. Armani's annual endorsement fee is 20 million, and Longines watches are tens of millions, which is not a lot, just earn some pocket money. Dundun bought cat food.

The annual commission from artists is close to 200 million. It’s still a pleasure to exploit employees!

As for the newly signed artists such as Bai Lu, Meng Ziyi, and Chen Yao, they have not yet produced value. Gu Zhongyu hopes that they can improve their professional skills as soon as possible, debut as soon as possible, and make money for themselves as soon as possible! As for the upcoming "Blissful", "Mermaid", "Wolf Warrior" and some variety shows that are still in production, these have not been included in the statistics.

In short, Zongheng has made a lot of money this year!

For this reason, Gu Zhongyu decided to make this year's annual meeting more grand. In previous years, there were always artists absent, but not this year. Everyone who can come has to come, and by the way, I want to flatter my boss!

With a wave of his hand, he rented a Club Med resort in Yanjing. It has a beautiful surrounding environment and hundreds of acres of flower fields. It is the best place to hold the company's annual meeting and provides a variety of entertainment facilities, including swimming pools, water sports, and fitness. , SPA, golf courses, tennis courts, children's playgrounds and game rooms, etc.

The annual meeting is scheduled for January 1th, and basically we have a holiday a few days after the fun.

On the 20th, the annual meeting came as scheduled, and employees from the entire company gathered together. Artists included Fan Binbin, Liu Shishi, Naza, Wan Qian, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruoyun, Tang Yixin, Zhou Wei, Wang Zhi, Zhang Songwen, Zhang Junning, Mao Xiaotong, Li Yuan, Wen Zhengrong, etc., as well as Bai Lu, Meng Ziyi, Chen Yao who are still in school, directors Guo Fan, Chen Sicheng, Li Muge, Cao Dun and more than other staff members!

It’s almost time to catch up with the lineup for a local TV show.

At this annual meeting, Gu Zhongyu also allowed employees to bring up to two family members to prepare for a two-day and one-night fun!

Because of the large number of participants, dozens of additional commercial vehicles were rented for pick-up and drop-off.

Before the dinner started, most people gathered in the play area to play or drink tea and chat in the leisure area. Some people came to the venue early to start setting up, carrying boxes of brand new cash and gifts to be distributed later.

A must-have item at the company’s annual meeting—spread money!

This money was paid by Gu Zhongyu personally to reward outstanding employees. Not included in the year-end bonus, it is only five million, but now it has piled up into a small mountain...

Next to the cash, there are more than a hundred unopened mobile phones, computers and other digital products, as well as hundreds of shopping card red envelopes. These are the prizes for tonight's draw.

Being so extravagant is not all just to show off. You have to have the right style to match your strength. Huayi is even more extreme. Feng Pants is said to be moving all the artists from his company to the Spring Festival Gala stage, turning the Spring Festival Gala into a It became the "Huayi Annual Party!"

Gu Zhongyu is not available for the time being, because there is no veteran director like Lao Mouzi in Zongheng. No matter how successful Chen Sicheng, Guo Fan and others are in business, they will not be invited to direct the Spring Festival Gala.

……

In the evening, the much-anticipated moment came. Zongheng employees gathered together. Gu Zhongyu picked up the microphone and stood on the stage enthusiastically. At this time, everyone in the company looked at them with anticipation and excitement. At the helm.

"Good evening, colleagues, brothers and sisters," Gu Zhongyu's voice was high and melodious.

"Good evening, Mr. Gu."

Everyone responded enthusiastically to his shouting. Seeing the crowd in the audience, Gu Zhongyu felt unprecedentedly satisfied. Seeing so many palus...oh no, so many employees shouting for themselves, the happiness of the capitalist suddenly disappeared. I feel it.

"At first, we……"

Gu Zhongyu began his year-end summary speech. Except for taking classes at Nortel, he rarely gave long speeches. Even when he went to the Golden Horse Awards and Golden Globe Awards, he would cherish words as much as gold. But on such occasions, it is always unpleasant not to say a few words!

"Teacher Gu is so handsome today!" Meng Ziyi in the audience was facing Gu Zhongyu's figure with loving eyes!

Bai Lu, who was at the same table, heard this and said: "When is the boss not handsome? As my classmate, Sister Meng, don't act like you have never seen the world, okay?"

The three classmates from Nortel sat together with Fan Xiaopang, Tang Yixin and others. It was not known who had the seats. All the artists in the company were separated according to gender, even couples like Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin were no exception.

"2013 has become a thing of the past. In the past year, Zongheng Group has made great progress. There has not been a single loss-making work. Whether it is a project we independently produced or indirectly invested in, we have achieved brilliant results! Let us applaud enthusiastically for ourselves and for all the brothers and sisters here!”

"Mr. Gu is mighty and domineering, Mr. Gu is awesome!"

"Boss, I love you!"

In addition to ordinary employees, even many of the artists below could not restrain their excitement and shouted loudly. The craziest ones were Bai Lu and Nazha. One grinned at him and laughed at him, and the other shouted at him. His name looks like a crazy fan!

Why do bosses love meetings? It’s this feeling they love!
