It was nearly February in Beijing, and the sky was just breaking at seven o'clock in the morning.
In winter, the cold wind of several degrees below zero occasionally howls, but it is not cold enough in a heated bedroom with closed windows and curtains.
The bedside lamp is turned on in the bedroom, and the light is orange-yellow. Although the warm light is not bright, it looks warm, and the two people leaning on each other by the bedside also look a bit romantic.
The young couple got up early as usual because of the alarm clock at 6:30 in the morning, and because it was too cold outside, they tacitly chose to stay in bed for the time being.
After Chu Xuan got up, he picked up his laptop and leaned on the bedside to read the ppt made by Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei pulled up the thick velvet quilt a long way to cover half of her face. She huddled in the quilt to keep warm. Then she leaned into Chu Xuan's arms and joined him.
Look at the ppt content on the screen.
“Isn’t this cut-in animation cool?”
"I made this super complicated form myself."
"I found this illustration after searching online for a long time."
"..."
From time to time, Liu Yifei showed off her achievements and told Chu Xuan her credit.
Although making ppt is not difficult, it is still meaningful to her.
When Chu Xuan and Sister Hua started micro-entertainment, Chu Xuan took careful care of her and involved her in many important aspects, but she didn't help much after all.
In such a situation, she was definitely moved, but the lack of sense of presence made her also feel disappointed.
Now that she has grown up, she can advance and retreat with Chu Xuan.
In the initial preparation stage before the investment plan, she and Chu Xuan were able to discuss and help each other, which was a situation that made her very comfortable and happy to face it.
The two situations before and after are like two situations. In the first situation, there is a couple. The man is more capable than the woman. They directly buy a house and let the woman move in with her bags.
In the second scenario, a couple each contributed half of the money as a down payment for a house, slowly renovated the house through hard work, and then paid off the mortgage through hard work together.
Both situations are happy.
But no matter what other girls think, in her eyes, she prefers the second situation.
Because the sense of existence, sense of achievement and sense of honor are mixed, this will make the two people more dependent on each other, both sides will be evenly matched, and they will love each other more deeply.
Here, Chu Xuan came up with an investment plan, and she participated in it to learn and contribute. Although she has only made a ppt, she feels it is very meaningful and very happy.
"Awesome." Chu Xuan praised.
He came up with the plan, and Liu Yifei was able to follow his plan and use her own logical thinking to layout and design the ppt, and the content he read over dozens of pages was very orderly and clear. This is really worthy of praise.
After reading dozens of pages, there was no problem with the content as a whole. He only changed some detailed text paragraphs. If the subsequent quality can be maintained, it will not take a day or two to contact the bosses of the three game companies and let them
Come to the capital to participate in his plan.
Chu Xuan looked at the time on his computer and it was already half past seven. He closed his notebook and said, "Get up and go to the company early."
Liu Yifei nodded, and Chu Xuan got out of bed from both sides of the bed.
The two of them made the bed together, got dressed and washed, exercised in the dance studio on the first floor, and then went to the small villa to have a breakfast cooked by Liu Xiaoli on time.
After the meal, the family of three went to the company.
…
In the Nanying Building where Glitter Times is located, Chu Xuan parked his car in the underground parking lot, and his family got off the car and took the elevator in the parking lot.
However, the elevator passed by the floor where the Brilliant Era was located and did not stop until it reached the floor above.
A family of three walked out of the elevator and made two turns in the corridor on that floor.
In front of a company three or four meters ahead, Wang Jinhua stood at the door with his arms folded, looking into the company with some interest.
"Here we come." She saw a family coming. After saying hello, she raised her right hand and pointed inside: "How are you doing?"
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli walked to Wang Jinhua and turned to face the company.
In the front desk of the company, several installation personnel from the advertising company were installing font abrasive tools made of light-transmitting materials on the wall.
When these grinding tools were installed, the true appearance was revealed - Yixuan Investment Development Co., Ltd.
Liu Yifei's eyebrows arched, she and Chu Xuan's company was established, and she was very happy.
Chu Xuan smiled and put his hand on her shoulder, looking at the company constantly.
While Liu Xiaoli was handling the company purchase and handover procedures during this period, Wang Jinhua also helped find this office space.
Liu Xiaoli completed all the procedures in the first two days, and the company is officially here today.
Bright Times Entertainment is downstairs, and it will be very convenient to host this company when the time comes.
After the installer left, the group walked into the company and took a look around.
The company's space is not large, only two to three hundred square meters, and there are no gorgeous decorations or high-end layouts.
Under the plan of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, they were not prepared to develop this company in the long term. The company was established to comply with Chu Xuan's investment plan.
When the goal of letting Liu Yifei become a shareholder in Glorious Times is achieved, Liu Yifei's equity will be exchanged with the equity of Glorious Era.
Then this company is equivalent to being acquired by Bright Times and becoming a subsidiary of Bright Times Investment Company. Eventually, it will be jointly controlled by Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Bright Times.
After that, you only need to perform normal operations, financial reporting and maintenance on the investment income of the web game.
We don't have any long-term development plans at the moment, so just follow the company's arrangements and transfer a group of people from the Brilliant Times downstairs to help take care of it.
At present, the actual controller of the company is Liu Xiaoli, and it is 100% controlled.
After the investment plan is launched, Chu Xuan, Brilliant Times and Liu Xiaoli, who represents Liu Yifei, will re-invest in the shares, and the company will start operations at that moment.
"Let's go, let's have a meeting." Wang Jinhua looked at her watch and saw that it was already the time for the company's meeting.
Hearing this, the family looked at it for a moment before giving up and walking out with Wang Jinhua.
Liu Xiaoli locked the door with a big lock and followed the group of people to the safe passage downstairs.
——The Brilliant Era.
In the conference room, fifty or sixty people were chatting with each other.
The middle and senior management of various departments of the company, including Zhang Jizhong, Chen Kaige and other shareholders, were all present.
Artists and shareholders such as Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, and Li Zhengyi were also there, and those who were away from home also asked for leave.
This is the first large-scale annual meeting since the establishment of the company. It is crowded and lively, and it seems that the company's development is booming.
Seeing a family pushing the door open, the room gradually became quiet.
Especially seeing Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli brought smiles to the faces of many people present.
Chu Xuan is the boss of the company, so it is normal for him to come to this meeting.
Liu Yifei was only a company artist, but due to the presence of Chu Xuan and the fact that the two of them were inseparable on weekdays, it seemed to them that Liu Yifei's participation in this meeting was nothing.
Liu Xiaoli is Wang Jinhua's assistant and needs to take notes on the meeting, so it is normal for her to come to this meeting.
But Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli are the same family. Let’s look at this combination together——
Liu Yifei is an artist in the company. As the assistant to the chairman, Liu Xiaoli has the channels and high-level connections to check and balance Liu Yifei as an artist. However, Liu Yifei’s boyfriend is Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan is the boss of the company.
Liu Xiaoli is just Wang Jinhua's assistant. Chu Xuan has full authority to deal with Liu Xiaoli, but Liu Xiaoli is Chu Xuan's mother-in-law.
This circle of relationships is connected in series, making them feel that the personal and career relationships of this family of three are very interesting, and it is definitely the only one in the country.
This is very interesting.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei didn't know that some people present were focusing on this aspect. They sat down in their respective seats and waited for the meeting to start.
Wang Jinhua glanced around, put his hands on the table and crossed them: "The company was established at the end of 2004. There were no works on the market in 2005, and it was in the initial stage of development. At that time, the company was not very big. At this time last year, I
I just held a small meeting with shareholders to discuss the development."
Immediately, she smiled slightly: "Only one year has passed. From a small gathering with only a few people last year to a conference with dozens of people now, it shows that our big family is full of talents and is developing rapidly."
Chu Xuan looked at the big scene in the conference room with relief. At this time last year, there were only him, Liu Yifei, Sister Hua, and big brothers and sisters like Hu Jun and Li Congtong in the meeting.
This year's meeting of dozens of people, which included all the company's middle and senior managers, indeed represents that the company is developing rapidly and everything is moving in a good direction.
Chen Daoming, Hu Jun and Li Zhengyi were also surprised and happy when they saw the scene of senior and middle-level personnel from various departments of the company gathered in the conference room.
When the company was founded, the company's management structure was still very crude. The number of management departments could be counted on two hands, and there were still many vacancies for the core personnel of each department.
They didn't understand the company's management, and they never asked how Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua controlled the company.
Ever since Chu Xuan's micro-entertainment took them off and made them worry-free for the rest of their lives, they had unconditional trust in Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua regarding the development of the company, and it could also be said that there was no reason not to trust Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua.
Let’s look at the company’s original rough structure and look at it now…
The Literature Department oversees the creation of scripts and content, the Transportation Department manages the transportation of crew props, the Cinema Management Department is responsible for operating cinemas, and the Film and Television Review Department makes advance judgments and plans for radio and television review;
Due to the long-term cooperative relationship with Mango Channel and Micro Entertainment, the channels for publicity and distribution have been expanded and in-depth research has been carried out. For this purpose, the company has added an external joint operations department to the operations department;
Due to the establishment of the film and television company, there is also a film and television special effects technology production center, an original painting design department, an operation and maintenance department that maintains computers and servers, etc.
These departments were new to the company before, and several of them had never been heard of in the entertainment industry, but all of this proved that the company had become stronger and was developing rapidly.
As shareholders of the company, Li Zhengyi and the others feel a sense of honor when they see what is happening in the company today. They also admire Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua for being able to develop the company to such a scale in more than two years.
Han Sanping, Chen Kaige and other shareholders also nodded with satisfaction. In the past two years, Wang Jinhua would come to discuss anything with them. While giving them respect, they also made them unlike artists such as Hu Jun who did not return to the company for a few years due to busy business.
trip.
They can be said to have watched Brilliant Times develop step by step, but because of the huge development funds and the equity of Weiyu that were originally sold as a foundation, the pace of development is a bit fast.
Of course, rapid development is a good thing.
After the relatively smooth development in the past two years, in their eyes, the future potential of Brilliant Times is unlimited, which also gives them a sense of identity and belonging as shareholders.
"Let's talk about last year's situation first," Wang Jinhua said.
There is a financial statement on everyone's desktop.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked down at the report documents while listening to Wang Jinhua's speech.
The document clearly records that when the company was established, the initial financing capital was 400 million.
At last year's annual summary, the company's capital reserves were 380 million. After Weiyu's 60 million was distributed as dividends, the capital reserves were 320 million.
Looking back on last year's 2006, the company's full-year hard expenditures including employee wages, vehicle purchases, hotel stays, etc. were 30 million; cinema investment expenditures were 150 million; and variety show investment expenditures were 50 million.
The profit from "Struggle" was 22.4 million, "Zhu Xian" was 29.4 million, and "Crazy Stone" was 9 million. The profit from artist remuneration, business, and endorsements was 32 million, which was given to Li Zhiyi, Hu Jun, and others for the film and television dramas they invested last year in return for copyright fees.
20000000.
Chu Xuan calculated again and found that the cinema had a revenue of 20 million last year. This was because the 100 cinemas only opened at the end of last year. It was all supported by the super large cinemas in the four major first-tier cities. This year, 100 cinemas had a revenue of 20 million yuan.
If two theaters are operating at the same time, the revenue of the theaters this year will be quite considerable.
It's just that after he and Sister Hua agreed with the shareholders, the theater implemented a plan of cyclical investment and development on its own, so the theater's profits were not included in the company's financial report. The theater company only needed to make its own financial report and be responsible and accountable to the shareholders' meeting.
.
Well, after one year of development, the current capital reserves are just over 180 million, which is negative 140 million compared to last year.
Chu Xuan looked at the documents and nodded. He was losing more and more money every year, but the company was developing better and better, and its scale was getting bigger and bigger. After all, the money spent would pay off.
Some people present saw this financial deficit, and the amount of 140 million shocked them. After all, in this era of 2007, this number is not a small amount.
Not to mention how many people can make this amount of money, but how many domestic companies can lose this amount of money without going bankrupt?
This is the financial strength of Brilliant Era.
Wang Jinhua looked back at last year's development and made a summary: "In the early stages of development, if the company wants to expand and grow rapidly, it naturally requires a lot of investment. The current revenue and expenditure seems to be a big loss, but I dare say that the loss now is
The bigger it is, the more we will make starting this year.”
The people present smiled slightly and nodded.
If it is a pure loss, then it is a real loss.
But whether it is a long-term development theater or a variety show that waits to be broadcast after the recording is completed to earn advertising sponsorship fees, it cannot be viewed as a loss, but there is no return at the moment.
Everyone present also understood this, and just as Chu Xuan thought, although the income was negative, the company's long-term development and scale expansion made people full of hope and enthusiasm for the future.
After finishing the summary of last year, under Wang Jinhua’s eyes, the people from the project department reported on the development plan for this year.
"Currently, the recording of the first season of "I Am an Actor" has not been completed, and the recording plan for the second season of "I Am an Actor" has been completed. But whether the recording plan for the second season will be started this year will have to wait for the second season of "I Am an Actor"
After one season is aired, we will see the results and then discuss it with Mango Channel."
"The science fiction trilogy project with "Hope" as the core of the story is currently under the discretion of the Literature Department. I don't know your progress, Mr. Liu..."
The project director held the document in his hand and looked up at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi's right hand was resting on the table and he was spinning a pen with his fingers. He replied: "The charter has been finalized. We can start recruiting and training after the year. How to coordinate scripts? Under the new script creation system, we need to
It varies from person to person, and only then can the overall planning process be determined.”
The director of the project department nodded: "At that time, Teacher Liu's Literature Department will join forces with the Human Resources Department to recruit and train people. After the training, please ask Teacher Liu to draw up a script overall plan for your new creative system and give it to me, so that we can formulate a project charter."
"Okay." Liu Yi nodded, and the director of the human resources department also nodded.
The director of the project department continued: "Let's put aside the "I Am an Actor" and science fiction projects for the time being. Our project department started in the middle of last year to investigate the market's audience preference and the trend of film and television genres through joint efforts with brothers and sisters in the marketing department.
Anticipation of new trends.”
"Also considering the development and scale of the company, Mr. Zhang's crew is currently divided into two. One crew is controlled by Director Zhao Jian and Zhao, the other is controlled by Director Yu Min and Yu, and Director Kong Sheng also has a crew."
As he said that, he looked at Chen Kaige and Tang Jili apologetically: "Of course, Director Chen and Director Tang each have a big team and a big crew, but you are in the movie business, and the company has not entered the movie industry yet, so I will
It’s not included, sorry.”
Chen Kaige and Tang Jili smiled and waved their hands to indicate it was nothing.
Seeing this, he continued: "This is the current situation of our company's crew. As an entertainment company with three major crews at the same time, this is also our company's absolute advantage."
He praised the Brilliant Era by the way, but what he said was true.
Like Huayi, there is only one Feng Xiaogang. The main reason is that the two presidents of Huayi are reluctant to give up their company shares, otherwise many directors will definitely join.
Even Feng Xiaogang currently does not have any shares in Huayi, but was lured by the two CEOs with their huge annual income.
Bright Times follows a win-win strategy of cooperation, spreading out its shares, thereby attracting a large number of elites. Judging from the fact that the film and television company has many contracted directors and screenwriters, this strategy is very effective.
Having these directors is equivalent to having their crews, and it goes without saying that the importance of the crews to the filming of film and television dramas.
Having three large crews at the same time really gives Bright Times a big advantage.
"The company has three large crews, and it was originally estimated that the financial reserves for this year would be sufficient. Based on the suggestions of directors and screenwriters contracted by the film and television company, our project department selected three high-quality online novels as the company's planned development this year.
project."
"There is information on these three works on your desk. You can take a look."
"The first part: "Nirvana in Fire", the second part: "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", the third part: "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"."
As soon as they finished speaking, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were still looking down at the information with the people present, when the director of the film and television review department expressed his opinion.
"'Nirvana in Fire' and 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' are fine, but 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp' cannot pass the review," she said.
"Mr. Cheng, are you sure?" The project director was stunned.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their heads and looked at Mr. Cheng from the audit department together with everyone else.
Mr. Cheng is a lady with short bangs and looks very sophisticated. She also looks very gentle and gentle wearing a pair of red-framed myopia glasses.
She shook her head firmly: "Don't even think about it, at least at this stage."
The director of the project department sighed: "It's a pity. This "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" will really be very popular. It has a rich story, many novelty elements, and is well versed in traditional folk legends. It will be loved by the masses."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Mr. Cheng shrugged.
"Don't shoot now." Chu Xuan interrupted.
After the words fell, everyone turned to look at Chu Xuan, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Chu Xuan crossed his legs, holding a cup of hot tea in his left hand on his chest, holding a document in his right hand and reading: "This drama needs to be shot in real scenes to get the feeling. The sinister and mysterious scenes are best shot in real scenes."
Only by comparing the photos with restored physical props can we achieve the desired effect."
"In other words, the early preparations for filming this drama will take a long time to produce a high-quality product. Moreover, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a series and requires long-term planning."
"But the company's current long-term film and television plans are mainly science fiction projects, and it is more appropriate to use the remaining resources for other good TV series as short-term plans."
"It would be best to wait until the company develops again, or until the sci-fi plan is successfully implemented and human and material resources are freed, and then we can consider long-term development plans for "Ghost Blowing Lamp"."
Chu Xuan raised his left hand, took a sip of tea, and looked up at the director of the project department: "By that time, maybe the radio and television has relaxed the review policy and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" can pass the review."
"And after being polished by science fiction projects, the company's special effects technology is naturally different from the same."
"After a few years of development, TV types will become more and more diverse, and audience acceptance will become higher and higher. If we shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" at that time, we may have another trump card like "The Condor"."
He smiled: "Mr. He, the copyright is in our hands anyway, there is no rush."
Mr. He, the director of the project department, smiled back, nodded and said, "Mr. Chu is right, I didn't think it through properly."
The corners of the mouths of those present were slightly raised. It was the first time for many of them to see Chu Xuan appear at a company meeting, and it was also the first time to hear Chu Xuan talk about these things.
Chu Xuan's words were well-founded and combined with current policies and market remarks that were conducive to the company's long-term development, which indeed made many people ignore his 22-year-old age for a while.
Sure enough, the vice chairman is the vice chairman.
""Nirvana in Fire" is good." Zhang Jizhong said.
He looked at the information in the file and said: "I don't know the content. I just saw that the introduction is a conspiracy suspense. The same genre such as "Bao Qingtian", "The Criminal of the Song Dynasty" and "Detective Di Renjie" are all very popular. This "Langya"
From the perspective of genre, there is a market for "Bang"."
As he said that, he looked up at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and said with a smile: "And since Mr. Chu and Producer Liu are starring in this drama, there is no need to worry about the ratings."
Mr. Chu and Producer Liu?... The people present who didn’t know the situation looked at the two of them.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will star in this "Nirvana in Fire"? Then just decide it directly, why bother talking about it in a meeting?
Based on the popularity of the two of them, it is estimated that whatever they perform will have ratings.
This is the sentiment of many people present, but it is also the impact of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei’s solid achievements.
Because of this, everyone suddenly lost interest in discussing whether "Nirvana in Fire" could bring benefits, and turned to discuss "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Seeing this scene, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei couldn't laugh or cry. They have so much confidence in us? It would be very embarrassing if they really threw themselves into the street, okay?
The project department only reported the preliminary plan. Except for the special existence of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, everyone unanimously decided that "Nirvana in Fire" would become this year's development project. Naturally, more in-depth research was needed to consider "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Whether a drama becomes one of the company's important annual projects cannot be decided in just one meeting. After all, the document only contains basic information: what is the budget of the drama, which director will it be suitable for, and what is the post-production team?
Who is responsible, etc. This series of matters all need to be planned in advance.
Until noon, it was only confirmed that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has market and commercial value, and the rest still needs to be discussed later.
Wang Jinhua looked at her watch: "In addition to the science fiction project and the second season of the variety show, which are planned for this year, the TV series are tentatively scheduled for "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan". We will decide on the specific details at another time."
She slapped the table playfully: "Comrades, now take the staff from various departments to the Shangri-La Hotel. We will hold the annual meeting."
Everyone fell silent and then started laughing.
The company's first annual meeting made them all happy.
"Let's go." Chu Xuan stood up and said.
"Let's go, Changchang and Da Xinxin have all come to the hotel to have fun." Liu Yifei said happily, thinking that her friends had all arrived at the hotel, she couldn't wait.
