In late January 2003, "The Great Swordsman 1" had been released for five weeks. Since the movie was released, IMAX cinemas have had 100% attendance for five consecutive weeks. In mainland China, due to the winter vacation for students,
The box office has been on a high for a few days. After five weeks, the total box office has reached 2.6 billion yuan, surpassing the box office record of 1.8 billion yuan set by "Avatar" in the previous life of the old gangster in 2009.
In North America, the box office of "The Great Sword Master 1" has set five consecutive records, reaching 620 million US dollars. However, with the end of the Christmas holiday, the box office has also shown a downward trend.
In regions other than North America and mainland China, a total of US$840 million was collected.
Relevant commentators believe that except for China, there is not much potential to tap the box office in other regions.
1.78 billion US dollars!
Fei'er Yang breathed a sigh of relief, Director Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and several major film companies in the United States also breathed a sigh of relief.
The employees of Lanyin Animation and Film and Television were even more relieved. For the employees of Lanyin Animation, 2001 was a lost year, a small year. They looked forward to the big year after the small year, and looked forward to 2002 being a big year.
For Yang Fei'er, Lan Yin Film and Television last year was a year of "big spending", investing in movie theaters, poaching artists, hosting "China's Talent Show", etc. In her words: spending money is like running water.
Let’s just talk about “Talent Show”. It was well-received and sold well, but it didn’t make any money. It had 20 episodes and each episode cost 12 million yuan, burning 240 million yuan, which was higher than the previous budget of 200 million yuan. Talking about why it went over the budget.
, there are also some stories, the general idea is that the organizing committee has received a guarantee from the major shareholder: it must be good, high-quality, and not afraid of spending money.
The big boss is not afraid of spending money, and of course the employees are happy to do so, so they spend money lavishly.
But how much money does this show earn?
A one-and-a-half-hour program has a one-minute commercial in the middle. Whose commercial is it? Advertisements from Baidu, Microsoft, Intel, and Samsung are all affiliated companies.
But even though it is a related household, people who come to Asia Entertainment to advertise have a budget. For example, Baidu has not made a profit this year, and paid 2 million yuan for 5 seconds of advertising. What about Samsung? This company from the country of Bangzi
The company is very stingy. It calculated the audience and ratings of Asia Entertainment Television well, and gave 10 million yuan in advertising fees for 15 seconds. Intel is also stingy, but it is more generous than Samsung, giving 20 million yuan for 20 seconds. Microsoft
Being generous and giving RMB 50 million in 20 seconds is equivalent to Gates' disguised, "small" repayment for the last time he used Huaxia Li to "buy low and sell high."
You should know that in the following years, Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Girl" sold only the naming rights for 70 million yuan, not to mention that it earned nearly 1.2 billion yuan in advertising revenue from this variety show.
The advertising revenue of Asia Entertainment Channel during other time periods is not enough to support the normal operation of the TV station!
Therefore, Asia Entertainment Channel, which has been open for a few months, is losing money. The loss is about 200 million to 300 million yuan.
The capital market is mentally prepared, and the people of Xiangjiang are mentally prepared. Therefore, TVB's stock price only fell slightly by less than 5% in January 2003.
"Give Huaxia Li time, it's not easy to open a TV station in mainland China!" This is the view of many people in Xiangjiang.
However, due to Lan Yin's control of TVB, TVB's high-quality advertising customers have indeed increased a lot. Not only the Asian Entertainment Channel, but also the TV station in Xiangjiang headquarters has also attracted many advertisements from multinational companies, including public service advertisements from Danyang Investment.
Although it is a charity, money is still paid.
The interview show "Wealth Life" was the first in 2003. The opportunity was given to Uncle Six, but Uncle Six was accompanied on stage by his sister-in-law Six.
The program is not broadcast live, which is why Uncle Liu's family agreed to a 90-year-old man to do a talk show.
Because: bad scenes don’t have to appear on TV.
But Uncle Liu's body is indeed much better than that of the old gangster's previous life.
Her speech is clearer and her thinking is more active, but Six Sister-in-law helped answer many questions. This interview program is said to have made many viewers shed tears, lamenting that "heroes grow old" and "time is not forgiving".
Of course Uncle Six encouraged "Li Sheng" again in the program: The highest level of an entrepreneur is to be a philanthropist!
This is also a true portrayal of Uncle Liu’s life.
This program was filmed in Xiangjiang, and the guests were mainly TVB executives and artist representatives. Of course, Yang Fei'er was also present, and several literary and art tycoons and celebrities in Xiangjiang also came to support Uncle Liu.
CCTV finally put down its arrogance, but instead of broadcasting the live broadcast, it bought the copyright, selectively edited the footage from previous sessions, and broadcast it in a set of programs called "Oriental Time and Space."
The program "Wealth Life" only contributed some advertising fees to the TVB headquarters of Xiangjiang TVB. In mainland China, this program only made money from popularity and branding, and it did not make any money.
Therefore, "The Great Sword Master 1" can make money, which makes Yang Feier feel that this year's Lanyin Variety Show may be able to reach a profitable state except for fixed investment.
Li Han spent the Spring Festival in 2003 at Stanford University. It was the first time that her little daughter was away from home, and her mother seemed a little lonely. Fortunately, now that her family has a big business, she has many things to consider and encounters.
Yes, her mood will improve soon.
The salaries of employees of Lanyin Biotech are not as attractive as those of Lanyin Electronics and Lanyin Investment. The salaries of original and newly recruited employees are about the same as those of companies like Huawei. This makes many employees, especially those who have just joined, feel the most
There was a little regret at first.
But the benefits are good!
Regarding the Spring Festival expenses, the employees of Lanyin Department had different requirements this time. Most of them said: Boss, don’t give out mobile phones, there are too many. If you want to give out, just give out laptops.
Of course, most employees still dare not say: Boss, don’t issue Ctrip travel cards. I don’t like traveling, I just like eating and drinking.
In the Lanyin department, employees more or less know that Ctrip is also half of the Lanyin department.
What the big boss does is just using the hands of his employees to influence the situation.
This is what many employees think.
Of course, the Spring Festival is more important than the Mid-Autumn Festival and is much more lively and festive, so you must pay more for the festival!
This is also what many employees think.
Fortunately, the company has money!
But there are also differences among the blue-yin-based companies.
For example, Wang Zixuan said to the old gangster: "Li Yifan, you have to compensate our employees. Our hard work has paid off. Yuxiu earned more than 6 billion US dollars from 3 billion over there..."
What Wang Zixuan means is: Li Yifan, Lan Yin Investment's plan to go public has not yet materialized. I also know that there will be no plan to go public in two to three years, or even three to four years, so just appease the employees. They have no plans for Lan Yin.
Electronics employees' stocks are red with envy.
The old gangster was in Luocheng at the time. He said on the phone: "It's up to you, it's our own company. You can do whatever you want, but just don't let us hurt our vitality."
Of course, Wang Zixuan cannot hurt his family's vitality. In the three years since Lan Yin invested in China, the number of people has never exceeded 220. As the core company of Lan Yin, it will not recruit on a large scale in the future, and its annual recruitment plan will not be
There are only 3 or 5 positions, which of course refer to investment decision-making positions, such as analysts, traders, etc.
220 people, of course, includes the company's formal logistics department. For example, Jiang Yiting's father is in the logistics department with less than ten people. The logistics department is mainly responsible for purchasing, arranging vehicles, sanitation, etc.
Departments such as the kitchen are just subordinate units of the logistics department and are considered non-staff personnel. As for security, they are managed by Blue Shield, and their salaries and benefits are provided by Blue Shield.
Yes, being treated softly will make employees feel that they don’t deserve this kind of treatment if they don’t work hard!
For example, the employees on the Lanyin electromagnetic needle production line originally thought that the performance in 2002 was not as good as in 2001, and the major shareholders would forget about them. Of course, they will not forget that the Spring Festival gift package for each person is 10,000 yuan in cash. Even Foxconn and
Employees on the production line who were "involved" in Lan Yin each received a red envelope of 2,000 yuan.
What about interns? 6,000 yuan in cash.
Since Lanyin implements the method of "signing as a formal employee", there is no such thing as an "internship period", but what about "internships"? It refers to undergraduates from major universities who come to intern.
The official Spring Festival benefits provided by Lanyin Electronics to its employees are as follows: Walmart, Renren, Carrefour and other supermarket shopping cards worth RMB 20,000 (valid for two years), Century Golden Flower shopping cards worth RMB 10,000 (valid for two years), and IBM notebooks worth RMB 20,000.
A computer (if you need better configuration, you can contact IBM's sales department, the difference will be borne by the individual), a Ctrip travel card worth 10,000 yuan (valid for two years, anonymous, can be used by multiple people), a box of red wine, Russian conch
Two boxes of chocolates, plus 20,000 yuan in cash.
Some employees said: My shopping card for the Mid-Autumn Festival has not been used up, but this year I can buy more gifts for relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings.
Some said: I already have computers. I even have two at home. Now I want to sell this one and give it away. I really don’t want to part with it.
Some asked: Why are you giving chocolates? Woohoo, I don’t like sweet things...
As for why the laptops were given, of course Brother Zhang heard the news and came to find one, 4,500 units for each person, 20,000 yuan, suddenly 90 million yuan, the profit is at least...
Of course, the people in the Lanyin Electronics Logistics Department and the Finance Department know the origin of Brother Zhang. He is the CEO of Lanyin Tianxi Online Entertainment Company. Judging from the names, they are all related to Lanyin. And about the big boss’s initial entrepreneurial start-up.
The project was done in collaboration with Brother Zhang...
This 90 million, in a sense, is the left hand and the right hand. The last part of the profit flows into the pocket of the big boss. Anyway, at least half of the employees are clamoring for laptops, so just give each one a computer. Lan Yin's executive is
It was decided this way.
The 2003 Spring Festival was still celebrated in Xijing, and Li's father and mother agreed. After all, the villa community in Xijing was large, crowded, and had a New Year atmosphere. In addition, fortunately, there were private jets, so there was no need to wait for flights or go through security checks.
Time flies by so fast, in the blink of an eye, when the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end;
The seventh day of the lunar calendar, Friday;
Wang Zixuan was watching Phoenix TV's information program and heard the news about "New Respiratory Syndrome". After watching, she stood up and walked to the old gangster's study. In the study, the old gangster, Xiao Qi Qi, and Little Phoenix
We are playing "Age of Empires" together.
It's not that the old gangster is playful, but that the old gangster mainly wants to cultivate the "humanity" of the little Phoenix through this method.
Wang Zixuan came in and said: "Li Yifan, a virus is spreading in Xiangjiang. I think we should temporarily restrict the group's employees from traveling there. Sister, she..."
"Oh? Okay!" The old gangster interrupted her. He was a little uneasy that day and kept thinking: Should he tell the chief about the ferocity of the virus now, or wait until the virus is almost widespread?
Are BlueBio's vaccines and therapeutic drugs coming out?
"Humph, Li Yifan, are you acting as if nothing has happened? I think this virus is quite powerful. If you breathe face to face, you can infect another person!" Wang Zixuan said.
The old gangster stood up, walked to the little phoenix, touched its "little face" and said: "My good daughter, you don't want to play anymore, daddy will send you to the laboratory to study!"
"Okay, Dad!" Little Phoenix has never been fond of computer games, and will put them down as soon as he wants.
Ten minutes later, in the study room, the old gangster solemnly said to Wang Zixuan and Yang Feier: "For the time being, the company does not have any plans to go to Xiangjiang or Lingnan for business trips. If there are any problems, try to discuss them through video conference. This is an internal notice, do not publicize it.
