After watching the Christmas battle at Staples Stadium last night, Chen Hao returned to the villa and had a "Christmas battle" with Taylor Swift.

The war continued to spread early the next morning!

Chen Hao looked at Taylor Swift who was constantly rising and falling in front of him, stroked his straight and fair long legs, and breathed a lot with satisfaction.

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

"That's it!" Chen Hao said absent-mindedly.

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

Chen Hao's heart trembled when he heard this and almost explained, "This, can you not write my name!"

But Taylor Swift grabbed Chen Hao's arms in an instant, then fell on the bed, his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

When Chen Hao saw this, he quickly shook Taylor Swift, "Let's discuss the song again!"

Taylor Swift muttered weakly, "I'm so tired, let me sleep first, sleep for a while!"

Chen Hao looked at Taylor Swift who was sleeping deeply, and his face felt gloomy and sunny. Is it going to be on the list this Christmas?!

I won’t be the leader on the list!

Sure enough, the risk of falling in love with Taylor Swift is really great. If you don’t pay attention, you will be on the North American billboard, which is known to everyone around the world!

After sighing, Chen Hao got up to wash up. When he arrived at the restaurant, he felt Xiaoying's death glare.

Chen Hao sneered at breakfast and asked, "Have you booked the air ticket?"

After listening to Smart's report in the morning, Chen Hao was about to return to China!

"Chicken?" Xiaoying raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said with a cold look, "Why, the chicken is useless, I want to order a ticket and buy another one?"

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

I saw Xiaoying holding a sausage with a fork in her left hand and holding a knife in her right hand, making everything hard. The sound of the knife passing by the plate, coupled with Xiaoying's cold eyes, Chen Hao couldn't help but shrink his butt.

After a while, Chen Hao smiled and said, "I'm going to have a meeting in the morning. Why don't you go buy something? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Buy something for our parents and brothers and bring it back!"

Xiaoying's eyes eased a little while hearing this. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Okay, do you want to be with me... forget it..."

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then he didn't answer.

After dinner, Chen Hao was about to leave, looking at Xiaoying who was still moving, and said, "Let's go!"

Xiaoying snorted, pouting her red lips, "What should I do with the woman upstairs?"

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

After saying that, Chen Hao put oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away first.

After arriving at the company, Chen Hao sat down in the office, and Smart, Kevin Feige 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 first!" said Smaite. "In 2008, the company participated in the investment and production of 4 videos, namely "Beast Meal 2", "Twilight", "Dance of My Life 2" and "Fast and Furious 4"!

There are 6 movies released this year, namely "Hurricane Rescue 3", "Dance from My Life 2", "Iron Man", "Shaw Beach", "Beast Meal 2" and "Twilight"!

Among them, "Twilight" is still being released worldwide, so the statistical data temporarily excluded it.

"Hurricane Rescue 3" has an investment cost of US$50 million, with a box office of 86.79 million in North America, ranking 33rd in the 2008 annual box office rankings!

Global box office of $316.6 million!

The company received a North American box office share of US$47.73 million and an overseas box office share of US$80.43 million, with a total global box office share of US$128.16 million.

After removing taxes, the company actually received US$111.3 million, and then removed the investment cost, and the net profit was US$61.3 million.

"Dance My Life 2" has an investment cost of US$20 million, the company invested 10 million, and the North American box office was US$58.01 million, ranking 51st in the North American box office rankings in 2008!

Global box office of $112 million!

The company received a North American box office share of $17.4 million and an overseas box office share of $9.44 million, and a total of $26.84 million in global box office share.

After removing taxes, the company actually received US$24.55 million, and then removed investment costs, and the net profit was US$14.55 million.

"Iron Man" has an investment cost of US$130 million and a box office of US$318.41 million in North America, ranking second in North America's 2008 annual box office rankings, second only to "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" with US$532 million!

The global box office was $590.23 million, ranking third in the 2008 global box office rankings, second only to the $996.8 million Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight and the $786.6 million Raiders of Jones 4: Crystal Bones!

The company received a North American box office share of $206.96 million, an overseas box office share of $95.13 million, and a total of $302.09 million in global box office share.

After the tax was removed, the company actually received $274.61 million, then removed the investment cost and gave the director a 25% global box office share, with a net profit of negative $2.94 million."

Speaking of this, Smart and the other three looked at Chen Hao, who took away 25% of the global box office share of "Iron Man" and directly caused the "Iron Man" project to suffer losses.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, saying that he had won it himself.

"Shaw Beach" has an investment cost of US$17 million, with a box office of 53.62 million in North America, ranking 52nd in the annual box office rankings in North America in 2008!

Global box office of $119.1 million!

The company received a North American box office share of $29.49 million and an overseas box office share of $22.91 million, and a total of $52.4 million in global box office share.

After removing taxes, the company actually received US$47.48 million, and then removed investment costs, and the net profit was US$30.48 million.

"Beast Meal 2" has an investment cost of US$18 million, with a box office of 14 million in North America, ranking 105th in the 2008 annual box office rankings!

The company received a North American box office share of $8.4 million.

After removing taxes, the company actually received US$7.98 million, and then removed the investment cost, and the net profit was negative US$10.02 million.

Overall, in terms of film investment and production, the company invested a total of US$150 million in 2008 to produce four films, a decrease of 26.47% year-on-year from US$204 million in 2007.

In terms of box office, not including the box office of "Twilight", which is still being released, the company won a box office of US$530.83 million in North America in 2008, an increase of 29.49% year-on-year from US$409.91 million in 2007!

The overseas box office was US$621.1 million, up 32.03% year-on-year from US$470.4 million in 2007!

The global box office was US$1.1519.3 billion, an increase of 30.85% year-on-year from US$880.31 million in 2007!

The company received a global box office share of US$517.89 million, and after taxes, it actually received US$465.92 million. Excluding investment costs, net profit of US$93.37 million!

Compared to the loss of $32.78 million last year, an increase of $126.15 million!”

Chen Hao nodded with a smile when he heard this. Last year, the company suffered a loss for the first time, which made the whole company feel a little scared. Fortunately, it achieved a profit of nearly 100 million yuan this year!

This made many employees who were worried that Lianchi Film would collapse and relieved.

Benjamin and Kevin Feige also relaxed their eyebrows when they heard this. It would be better for the company to make money.

Smart looked at Chen Hao's face and explained, "The profit is of course very good, but a large part of the reason is that the three largest investment movies in 2007, "Iron Man", "Hurricane Rescue 3" and "Shawk Beach" were released this year.

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

If Fast and Furious 4 perform well at the box office, we should be much easier next year."

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

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

Moreover, the number of box office revenue increased again this year, which made Chen Hao even happier, because the box office data last year was very unreal, and it was entirely because of the movie "Transformers" that made the report so good.

But in fact, Ringtianchi Film only accounts for one-third of the investment in "Transformers", and was directly kicked out this year.

"Transformers" does not belong to Ringtianchi Film Studio, but to Spielberg. After removing external forces, the company's box office revenue can still increase, which can truly reflect Ringtianchi Film Studio's own actual capabilities.

"Continue!" Chen Hao said.

"The company also has the revenue from the release of videos. In 2008, the company dominated or participated in the release of 8 videos, a decrease of 50% compared to last year.

A total of US$105 million of publicity and distribution expenses were invested, and the box office share was $128 million, and the profit was $23 million after excluding costs, and the net profit was $21.85 million after excluding taxes.

The company's net profit was US$58.8 million last year, and its net profit in 2008 decreased by 62.84% year-on-year!

By the way, the company's current issuance capacity has expanded to about 2,000 companies, an increase of about 200 companies over last year.

In addition, the company's film library also has copyright revenue. Through other distribution channels, the film library has brought a total of US$58 million in revenue to the company, which is US$3 million more than last year.

After taxation was removed, the company's net copyright revenue in 2008 was US$55.1 million, an increase of 11.31% year-on-year!" Smart said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, and his distribution and copyright were growing year by year, obviously because the distribution capabilities and film library of Ryotianchi Film are growing.

"In 2008, the company spent a total of US$255 million in film investment, production, distribution and copyright, revenue was 1.33793 billion, and net profit was 17032 million US dollars!

Let’s talk about the company’s other aspects of expenditures, first of all, the company’s loans and debts, with a loan of 15.3 million and a debt of 60 million. Add to the company’s rent, salary and other expenditures of 3.5 million, totaling US$78.8 million.

Including all expenditures and profits, the company's actual net profit in 2008 was US$91.52 million!" Smart said.

Chen Hao was very satisfied with the annual revenue of nearly 100 million yuan. What’s more important is that “Iron Man” was successful, the Marvel Super Cinema Universe has begun, and the next few years will be the time when the Lynn Cycling Films truly exploded.

After looking at Chen Hao, Smart continued, "The next one is the 2009 film plan of Ringtianchi Pictures, and the company will invest in the production of 5 films next year.

They are "Iron Man 2" with an investment of 200 million, "Saw 6" with an investment of 11 million, "Dance from My Life 3" with an investment of 15 million, "Beast Meal 3" with an investment of 15 million, and "Twilight 2" with an investment of 51 million!

The total investment of the five films will be as high as US$292 million, an increase of 48.63% from last year's 150 million.

In addition, the company also needed to repay a bank loan of $15.3 million in 2009, Marvel's debt of $50 million, and other costs of $3.5 million.

That is to say, the company's current expenditure is known to reach US$360.8 million in 2009!"

Chen Hao nodded slowly when he heard this. The company suffered a loss in 2007, and just turned losses into profits this year. He will invest another $360 million next year. This is not a small amount, especially for independent film companies.

"Is the company's account plus the money that has not yet been received enough?" Chen Hao asked frowned.
