Chapter 297 Third Quarter Earnings(1/2)
The crew's location.
In Liu Qianqian's room.
She took off her costume and took out her underwear from the suitcase to take a shower. She said to Fang Ziheng, "How many days can you stay this time so I can ask for leave from Director Hao?"
"Two days, three days at most. On the 24th, I have to fly to the Greater Khingan Mountains to shoot the last scene of "The Great Wall."
Fang Ziheng answered casually, walked forward, reached out and rummaged through the suitcase, found a small piece of black lace, and said with a wicked smile: "Sissi, I'll wear this later."
Liu Qianqian snatched the small piece of lace cloth, gave him a cute look, and then put another set of pure white underwear back into the suitcase.
This set of black lace underwear was bought for her online by Fang Ziheng on Double Eleven last year.
She didn't wear it a few times after buying it because she felt too shy.
"I'm going to take a shower first, and you go get some food."
"OK, I'll ask the front desk to bring you whatever you want to eat."
Fang Ziheng watched her walk into the bathroom, went to the bedside, picked up the landline and dialed the hotel front desk.
Two hours later.
Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian put on a casual couple's suit, walked out of the hotel wearing sunglasses and masks, and started shopping at night.
The two of them fought twice just now, and the young lady was defeated the first time.
The second time she went all out and fought Fang Ziheng back and forth, the battlefield spread throughout the suite.
A snack street in Hengdian.
Liu Qianqian held Fang Ziheng's arm, pointed to the restaurant on the street, and said domineeringly: "Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you today!"
"Okay, I will be a soft rice king today."
Fang Ziheng took a quick look and chose a signature hot pot restaurant.
After dinner.
The two of them walked around for a while, bought some snacks and snacks, and returned to the hotel around nine o'clock carrying large and small bags.
This time, the two of them did not rush to fight. Instead, they found a movie on their laptops and watched it while lying on the bed while chatting.
During this period, Liu Qianqian also called Zeng Li and transferred all the pregnancy safety information she found online.
Seriously speaking, the young lady is a bit dissatisfied with Zeng Li's pregnancy, but she is naturally kind-hearted and has been constantly building herself up to convince herself to accept it all.
During this period of time, she was busy filming and could not go back to the imperial capital to visit Zeng Li often. However, she took the initiative to call Zeng Li at five o'clock in the morning and asked about Zeng Li and the baby in her belly.
She also secretly prepared many things for the baby without telling Mother Liu and her assistant.
The young lady's broad-mindedness earned Fang Ziheng double love, and their relationship was not affected at all.
Fang Ziheng turned on the computer, opened his hands and took the young lady into his arms, and asked softly: "Sissi, can we have a baby too?"
"Ah, it's too early."
Liu Qianqian was shocked and instinctively refused.
She buried her head in Fang Ziheng's arms, resorted to coquettish tactics, and said pitifully: "Although I like babies, I want to work harder in my career for a few more years."
"Dear, I'm only 25 years old this year. How about giving birth to a baby when I'm 30?"
"At the age of 30, is it too late? Experts say that a woman's physical fitness will decline after the age of 27. The older she gets, the more dangerous it is to have a baby."
Fang Ziheng was as gentle as water and tried to persuade the young lady.
"Is it okay to be 27?"
"No, 27 is only two years away."
The two had an ambiguous and interesting discussion on the issue of having a baby.
While chatting, Fang Ziheng turned off the computer and pulled the young lady into the bed.
No matter how much I say, why not try it first!
I stayed in Hengdian for three days.
Fang Ziheng boarded the plane back to the imperial capital amidst Liu Qianqian's reluctance.
The shooting of "The Big Four 2" is about to be completed and is entering post-production. The young lady can finally take a good rest.
After returning to the Imperial Capital, Fang Ziheng rested for a long time and then held the third quarter executive meeting.
Hengyu Media Group has already made preparations in advance. The deputy directors and directors of each department, as well as the CEOs of major wholly-owned subsidiaries and holding companies are all present.
August 23, nine o'clock in the morning.
Fang Ziheng, wearing a suit and leather shoes, walked into the conference room No. 1 with his head held high.
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Hello, Director Fang!"
As soon as I entered the door, I heard dozens of greetings.
Lin Feifei, Andy, Mo Xiangwan, Lin Wei, and Lao Mouzi were lined up on both sides of the conference table, leading a group of senior executives to stand up and welcome them.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please sit down."
Fang Ziheng waved his hands, came to the center seat and sat down.
"In recent times, the group's various businesses have made great progress, and I'd like to thank you all."
As usual, he first acknowledged everyone's recent work, then smiled softly and nodded towards Mo Xiangwan.
Mo Xiangwan, as secretary of the board of directors, presided over today's meeting.
She opened the meeting agenda in front of her and took the lead in naming Liu Liang, deputy director of the film business department.
Wen Muye was not here, and Liu Liang was respected in the film division.
Liu Liang is Fang Ziheng's senior brother and one of the assistant directors of "Tang Detective 1". He has currently put down his filming work and devoted himself to the work of the business department.
"Director Fang, ladies and gentlemen, let me first report on the several movies that the company has released since June."
"The total box office of "The Master of Hypnosis" is 580 million. After deducting film funds and taxes, the net box office is 532 million.
The film is exclusively distributed by the company. According to a 10% distribution ratio, 53.2 million yuan in distribution profits can be recovered.
The remaining 448.8 million is divided between the cinema and the theater chain management company at 53%, giving us 4 percentage points of profit. The company can split the box office account at 211 million!
Of the 211 million, the 30 million in promotional costs invested by the company will be deducted first, and then 20% of the directors of Xu Zheng Studio will be paid as investment dividends, for a total of 36.2 million soft sister coins.
The company's static box office revenue was 81.8 million!
In addition, the film's feature advertisements and various sponsorships totaled 56 million, plus 53.2 million distribution profits, the total revenue was 191 million.
Erasing 35 million in production costs, "The Hypnotist" earned the company a net profit of 156 million."
Liu Liang's voice was high and he told the details of "The Master of Hypnosis" with a bit of joy.
Bang bang bang...
There were bursts of applause in the conference room.
Senior executives from all walks of life are very conspicuous. At this moment, only applause can express everyone's mood.
The production cost of a film was 35 million, with an investment of 30 million in promotion and distribution. The film took in a total box office of 580 million and brought a net profit of 156 million to the company, which is worthy of any praise.
Fang Ziheng is also very satisfied with the operation of the "Hypnosis Master" project. In the previous life, the original film only had a total production cost of 10 million and made a box office of 274 million.
In this life, the movie script has been refined by him, investment has increased, and the total box office has doubled.
However, this time he did not ask the financial department to prepare a check. In addition to director Xu Zheng's share of the "Hypnosis Master", his studio also invested part of it, accounting for 20% of the total revenue.
This treatment is interesting enough!
After the applause, Liu Liang took a sip of water and continued to report the situation of "Predecessor Strategy" to everyone.
""The Ex-Raiders" has just finished filming, and our department has already prepared an income statement. It is expected that the box office account will be available in mid-September."
"The total box office is 380 million yuan. After deducting film funds and taxes, the net box office is 348.5 million soft sister coins!
The film is distributed by the newly established Big Dipper Distribution Company, with a distribution ratio of 10% and a distribution profit of 34.85 million.
The company holds 48% of the shares in Beidou Qixing and can obtain an issuance profit of 16.59 million.
Cinemas and theater chain management companies share 54% of the accounts, giving the company a profit margin of 3 percentage points.
After deducting the income from cinemas, theater chains, and 30 million in publicity and distribution expenses, the producer was left with 113 million in box office revenue.
Among them, the company holds 60% of the film share, Guangxian Media 20%, Tengxun and Alibaba each 10%.
The company's net box office revenue for "The Ex-Raiders" was 67.8 million.
The film's features and various sponsorships totaled 68 million, which was 12 million more than "The Master of Hypnotism".
In addition, Director Fang sold 1 point of his investment share in "Predecessor Strategy" at a premium of 2 million, and 40% is 80 million soft sister coins.
To sum up, the total revenue of the movie is 233 million RMB.
Erasing the 40 million production cost, "The Ex-Raiders" created a total net profit of 193 million for the company!"
