"Thank you all for attending the meeting..."

As the end of the year approaches, many official meetings are being held to summarize this year and look forward to next year. Cao Xuan has also received many invitations.

The general ones can be recommended, but the film and television culture company specially organized by a certain bureau cannot be absent. Cao Xuan specially brought several senior executives of Fanxing to support.

After the conference, the leader held a small meeting with several representative companies. Although Cao Xuan was young, his status was here. Apart from official company representatives like the leader and Han Sanye, he took the first place in the private company without hesitation.

order.

The Wang brothers of Huayi, Boss Qin of Xingmei, Fatty Bona, Boss Zhang of New Picture, and Boss Dong of Huayi are all behind him.

Huayi Wang Brothers, Bona Yu Fatty, and Boss Zhang in the new picture are all acquaintances, so there is no need to say more.

Xingmei's boss Qin is the younger brother of the Tiantian family. He is currently mainly engaged in theater business, but he has also begun to try some film and television investments.

Boss Dong Hua Yi is not well-known, but he is also very powerful. He started investing in film and television very early, and he specializes in investing in famous directors, and has a wide network of contacts...

He was the founder of the famous Huanxi Media in later generations, and he attracted many famous and emerging directors such as Lao Mouzi, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Wang Sunjing, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yibai, etc., with great skill.

These people, together with Cao Xuan, are basically the most powerful private companies in the mainland film market.

There are also some big money makers, but they are not mainly engaged in this business. They only invest in celebrities and rarely deal with the officialdom.

There are also some TV drama companies. Except for those like Hairun, others are basically not qualified to enter the game.

In the Mainland, making TV series and making movies are two different things. Main film companies can use funds, connections, resources, and staffing that are not comparable to ordinary film and television companies.

The leaders are quite happy. This year's film market is particularly prosperous.

"Spring Blade" and "House of Flying Daggers" during the summer vacation, "New Police Story" during the National Day season, and "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu" during the Lunar New Year season.

There are a total of 5 movies with a box office of over 100 million, and all of them are Chinese-language movies, of which 3 are mainland-led movies. Compared with last year, the total box office has directly doubled.

This achievement is quite impressive, and the year-end reports are particularly beautiful, with growth rates of dozens of percent at every turn, making the leadership meetings and small meetings never stop smiling.

"This year is the year for the rise of domestic films and the market. I hope you will work harder next year and reach a higher level."

Everyone said yes, and the leader looked at Cao Xuan again. Compared to several veteran generals such as Lao Mouzi, Xing Ye, Cheng Long, Feng Pengtong, etc., Cao Xuan was a newcomer who made a splash.

Moreover, Cao Xuan himself is the boss of a film and television company. He can be said to be one of the leading filmmakers in the future, and his leaders still value him very much.

"Xiao Cao, you Fanxing had the highest development last year. You should work harder and be more bold and enterprising."

"That's what the leader said."

On this occasion, Cao Xuan would not be blindly modest, and would show off his merits when necessary: ​​"Next year we, Fanxing, will do a lot, not to mention low-cost movies.

The "New World" that was previously reported to the bureau had a total investment of 60 million, and we accounted for half of it. "Xiu Chun Dao 2" will also be launched next year, and the investment will not be less than 30 million. There is also Yinghuang Cheng Long's new movie "Myth"

》, our company will also occupy a certain share.

It is estimated that the company will produce 5 to 8 movies next year, with a cumulative investment of over 100 million."

On the surface, Cao Xuan did not participate in the investment in "New World", but everyone here is also an industry leader. There is no need to hide this, and Cao Xuan did not hide it.

5~8 movies, over 100 million investment.

It may not seem like much, but among those present here, except for China Film and Shanghai Film, several institutional companies, whether it is Huayi or other companies, it is difficult to support such a large business independently.

Don’t forget, Fanxing’s main battlefield is still TV series. The investment in movies is over 100 million, and the TV series will not be too low.

With a capital of 200 million, a company with little assets would not be able to raise that much money even if it sells the company.

Previously, several bosses were a little dissatisfied when they saw Cao Xuan in the upper position, but now they all lower their heads and remain silent, which is really embarrassing for others.

Cao Xuan didn't get used to the crowd, and chatted about Fanxing Cinemas and Fanxing Film and Television City, and the word "hundred million" was always the same in his mouth.

Several bosses didn't dare to say anything, and even the leaders were a little stunned: "Can the funds support such a big move?"

"No problem, we will have a large amount of new capital injected next year."

Cao Xuan is talking about the agency rights of "Legend" and the shares of the Korean parent company, and is currently negotiating with Shanda, The9 and even NetEase.

The asking price of the box game is US$1 billion, which is an astronomical figure. However, if you carefully study the profits of "Legend", you will find that it is not particularly exaggerated.

After all, although "Legend" is still in decline, it is still the number one online game in China, generating hundreds of millions in revenue every month, and can generate new revenue sources.

More importantly, if we can get the exclusive agency rights of "Legend", it will be a great boost to the company's stock price.

Especially for Shanda, which is currently seeking to go public, they can't wait to win "Legend".

Of course, US$1 billion is absolutely impossible. Even if they were willing to give it, they wouldn't be able to come up with that much money.

Therefore, several parties are still negotiating. The base price of the box game is US$300-500 million, and the other companies will definitely want as little as possible.

But no matter how much it ends up being, it is foreseeable that Cao Xuan will cash out a terrifying amount of cash flow.

Of course, more than half of this money will be retained in the operation and development of Box Games.

Apart from this, because domestic companies are grabbing "Legend" and box games, they easily obtained the agency rights for "World of Warcraft", but the agency fees are high and the operating costs are not low.

In addition to box games, some original games have been developed and run recently. Most of these games have not yet entered the profit period and require investment costs.

Cao Xuan will not do anything to make a profit, and must leave enough development funds for his largest treasury.

But even so, half of hundreds of millions of dollars is enough for Cao Xuan to do many, many things. In the current domestic film and television field, it can be called a dimensionality reduction blow.

If Fanxing Movie City and Fanxing Cinemas weren't located here, everyone would have heard about Boss Cao's strength, otherwise everyone would have thought that this guy was bragging.

"good!"

The leader is very happy, so although Fanxing Analog is a bit too strong compared to its peers, considering the current domestic market, such a company is still needed to forge ahead.

"Xiao Cao, do your best, they will all point to you to take the lead."

It seemed like a joke, but it had a vague meaning of appointing Cao Xuan as the leader to carry the flag, which made everyone present feel shocked.

Cao Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, leader, we will work hard and not let you down."

………

After the small meeting, Han Sanye and other institutional company leaders had other meetings, and the private ones could already leave.

Before he could even leave the entrance of a certain bureau, Cao Xuan was surrounded by people. The second son of the Wang family who was good at dancing in long sleeves and Fatty Yu were in tandem.

"How about we find a place to gather together later."

They are all big guys in the industry, and although there are quite a few nasty ones, they can sometimes communicate with each other, and there is no harm in chatting occasionally.

Although Cao Xuan was not interested in this wine party, he did not spoil the situation and nodded in agreement. In fact, many people present were staring at him. Seeing him nodding, they also agreed.

Fatty Yu and the second son of the Wang family competed for arrangements, and Boss Qin also suggested that they could go to their own heaven and earth to play.

Although Cao Xuan was quite interested, he was afraid of Chapter 404, so he took the initiative to suggest that just have a meal and don't make it too complicated.

Everyone also realized that they, the big bosses behind the scenes, didn't matter. Cao Xuan was too well-known. Although he was famous, it was not good to appear on some occasions.

"I know there is a newly opened club in the suburbs. It has golf and fishing. Otherwise, go there."

"Just go there."

Although it was the second son of the Wang family and Fatty Yu who started the game, Cao Xuan still inevitably became the center of everyone's attention, and the location was immediately decided as soon as he opened his mouth.

So everyone contacted the club and took a ride there.

Several big bosses in the industry gathered together, some small and medium-sized film and television companies also joined in, and even well-informed agents and brokers came after hearing the news.

The big boss joins in, letting whatever he reveals falls into the hands of others, which is also a step up.

After waiting for an hour, Cao Xuan and others arrived at the clubhouse and chatted for a while. When they came out, they saw many familiar people.

Not to mention directors and bosses, just artists Li Bingbing and Huo Siyan from Huayi, Sun Niangniang from Hairun, Tong Dawei, Li Xiaoran, Yuan Li who has a good relationship with Fatty Yu, and some male and female celebrities who came through other channels

Cao Xuan even met Sister Zhiling and several Taiwanese actresses whom he had talked about before. Cao Xuan wondered whether it was their bosses who were more attractive, or those Taiwanese actresses who were more capable.

The only thing that makes Cao Xuan a little relieved is that there are no celebrities here.

It seems that the company's tutoring and development is pretty good...

After saying hello to a few acquaintances, Boss Xingmeiqin and Boss Zhang of New Picture asked to go play golf. Cao Xuan was not interested in that and went to the pond to fish with a transfer bag.

With his move, the crowd that had obviously chosen golf and other sports quickly diverged, turning the originally abundant fishing bags into hot sellers.

Cao Xuan is not proficient in fishing. When he was a child, he went to a small pond to catch lobsters.

At that time, my family was poor and had no equipment. I would dig two earthworms and tie them with a rope, wearing a bamboo pole. When I saw a lobster, I would lure it and catch it. If I was lucky, I could catch dozens of them all day long.

However, no one ate this stuff when he was a child. Firstly, it was too fishy and dirty, and secondly, the little he caught was not enough to waste firewood, so no one at home made it.

So these crayfish are basically fed to chickens and dogs, mainly for fun.

Cao Xuan didn't do anything like making nests this time when he was fishing. He made fish mark baits and threw them out, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

On the other hand, the boss of the Wang family who came over at some point looked similar to Feng Pants. I wouldn’t say they were old fishing buddies, but they probably played a lot.

"How about it, Mr. Cao, let's see who catches more fish?"

"It's okay to have fun."

Cao Xuan didn't care whether he won or lost, he just treated it as a game, and even took the initiative to add a bonus.

There was a Rolex in his car given by a friend, worth more than 300,000 yuan. Cao Xuan had no interest in Rolex, so he played with it.

The eldest son of the Wang family pledged a painting by Qi Baishi. The price was about the same as a Rolex. They didn't care if it was more or less.

On the contrary, Feng Pengtong felt a bit toothache when he saw the two of them open their mouths and get hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although he made a lot of money, it was not enough to just throw away hundreds of thousands.

But the atmosphere had already reached this point, and he couldn't be cowardly. But he couldn't find the same object for a while, so he simply took a photo of the bank card.
