Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

The news of Gu Zhongyu and others returning to China grabbed the headlines again.

The two words Oscar and Gu Zhongyu have become the hot search keywords in recent times, and even Chen Sicheng and Sha Liz have been on the hot search.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the whole of China seems to be in a state of joy. Every day, various news reports on last year's GDP and other news, or broadcasts some Spring Festival travel phenomena.

The entertainment industry has also begun to show off year-end bonuses.

Tang Yan's studio is relatively conventional. The year-end bonus is some shopping cards, vouchers and household appliances. The main reason is that she and Zongheng have cooperated on the two dramas "Golden Jade Marriage" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo", but they have not started to attract investment, so the funds are stretched.

Although Yang Mi is stingy, she showed generosity in this year-end bonus that is not in line with her personality. Jiaxing directly distributed red envelopes ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 yuan to employees below the director level. For a time, netizens "hugged the thighs" and attracted the envy of many peers.

However, their hands were not as generous as classmate Xixi this time!

Feiyu Entertainment, which was established only a year ago, has its boss Liu Yufei paying ordinary employees ten months' salary as bonuses at one time, and also giving each of its artists Chen Xiao, Yang Caiyu, Liu Yan, etc. a sports car!

Liu Yufei is so generous, of course, for a reason, all of which is the confidence given to her by the broadcast of "Dream of Hualu"!

Just before Gu Zhongyu and others participated in the Golden Globe Awards, "Dream of Hualu" successfully took over "Descendants of the Sun" and was broadcast on Mango TV's Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater, and the online broadcast platform was Penguin Video.

Liu Yufei's last TV series was "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in 2006, so "Dream of Hualu" became her first TV series after adulthood, so from the beginning of the project, the outside world's attention has never been less.

When it was broadcast, it just happened to inherit the popularity caused by "Descendants of the Sun", and the ratings of the first broadcast were not worse than the former. In the first episode alone, when Zhao Pan'er, played by Liu Yufei, appeared in a boat, it directly broke 2%!

The online broadcast volume has repeatedly broken records. The broadcast volume exceeded 200 million in 15 hours, 1 billion in 7 days, and then 1.5 billion!

On social media, the hot search terms related to "Dream of Hualu" continue to dominate the screen: "Gu Pan Shenghui", "Spring of Face Dogs", "Dream of Hualu Wins", and the number of Weibo readings has exceeded 1 billion!

Costume dramas are indeed a comfortable field for classmate Xixi. There is really no rival in the same age group. How could the dramas of other 85 flowers have such terrifying popularity in just a few episodes!

Moreover, the audience was delighted to find that a domestic drama finally produced a high-quality costume drama that is worth watching, which almost combines the elements of a hit drama: the male and female protagonists are high-looking, the costumes and props are exquisite, the plot does not reduce intelligence, the female protagonist is not silly and sweet, the love line and the career line go hand in hand, the rhythm is not dragged, there is no female competition between women, there is only a warm plot of three sisters helping each other to start a business, and even the supporting characters are very likable. In addition, unlike the previous stereotyped Qing Dynasty palace dramas, the story of "Dream of Hualu" is set in the Song Dynasty. The elegant tea culture and market culture of the Song Dynasty liberate the audience who are aesthetically fatigued by Qing Dynasty palace dramas.

Therefore, the reputation of "Dream of Hualu" is also good. The Douban score reached 8.5 not long after it was broadcast, because the audience was tortured by Qing Dynasty palace dramas for too long, so there was a phenomenon of revengeful high scores. The score is still rising and has a trend of breaking 9!

Liu Yufei's super high national popularity + the drama that is well-received and popular, the investment situation of this drama is also unexpectedly good!

At present, there are more than 30 advertisers for "Dream of Hualu", including Mead Johnson, Oreo, Pepsi Cola, Haitian, OPPO mobile phones, Geely and other brands, and the threshold for advertising has been raised to 5 million.

An advertising agent revealed to the media that advertising is calculated by seconds, and now "Dream of Hualu" advertising space is not available at all, and there is no position. "A beverage brand has a budget of 5 million and wants to insert a patch, but is still waiting for the schedule." Previously, a client couldn't wait for the schedule and did an online placement, the price was about 1.5 million.

This is only for the video platform, and Mango's investment has not been included.

According to conservative estimates, after the show is broadcast, minus the share, it can at least bring no less than 150 million yuan in revenue to Feiyu Film and Television!

Liu Yufei and her daughter were stunned. They didn't expect that investing in TV series could make so much money. Even if all the TV series and movies that Xixi had previously added together, the net income brought was not so high!

The mother and daughter were very grateful that they had listened to Gu Zhongyu's advice and went out to work alone. If they had been working for others foolishly, how could they earn so much?

Zongheng Film and Television is of course no exception. As a major shareholder, in fact, according to Fan Binbin's intention, they were originally prepared to give three more months of salary, but after seeing the heroic deeds of Feiyu Film and Television, they felt that they were too stingy?

She couldn't accept the reality that she was outshined by Liu Yufei, this little girl!

After asking for the opinions of Gu Zhongyu and others, of course mainly Gu Zhongyu's opinion, they finally decided to directly pay half a year's salary as a reward, and also bought a bunch of mobile phones, computers, and cars as gifts for company employees. In addition to big items like cars, the most basic employees can at least win a mobile phone!

Then, netizens praised Boss Gu for being a rich man!

Only Gu Zhongyu's heart was bleeding. MD, I have to inform Xixi in advance in the future. Their company has few people, so it's okay to have a generous reward, but Zongheng is a big family with nearly a thousand employees. So many people, each with a mobile phone is several million!

Fortunately, the company has made a lot of money this year. After Running Man is launched next year, another huge amount of money will come into the account, and only then will it be able to issue so many bonuses.

Throughout 2013, Zongheng mainly produced three movies. "Partners in China" brought in revenue of 320 million yuan, "The Invisible Guest" has just been released, with 180 million yuan, and "Macau Storm" is estimated to be 150 million yuan. 100 million, judging from the box office alone, it is slightly less than in 2012. This is mainly because Zongheng is currently working on more projects at the same time and indirectly participating in them. Film and television dramas by Liu Yufei, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, etc. all have Zongheng’s team. In charge, although the income collection cycle has become longer, the overall increase is still huge!

The TV series "Descendants of the Sun" earned almost 80 million in just the first round of broadcast on the TV station. The online platform made about 30 to 40 million, making more than 100 million. This does not include copyright, peripherals, and business promotion. money

The drama "Legend of Wu Zetian" has not been aired yet, but it is actually about to pay back. After all, the heroine + Fan Binbin + Wu Zetian + court drama... Just by looking at the label, you can tell that the potential is unlimited. The advertising and business cooperation that has been negotiated have already spent the money. Got it back!

Otherwise, after so many film and television productions, the company began to transform into producing TV series. It’s so profitable!

In other words, if you spend 100 million to hire these people to star in a TV series starring a popular star, then a TV station will buy it. With the blessing of these popular stars, the TV station will be willing to spend money, and the TV station will make money.

The business chain is like this. Film and television production companies can make money, actors can make money, and TV stations can also make money. As for businessmen, they have money anyway, but who is the unlucky one in the end?

Ordinary viewers who stay in front of the TV and watch TV.

Then most netizens complained about how domestic TV dramas have become what they are now, and there were also a small number of die-hard fans of celebrities who praised their babies for their explosive acting skills and so on!

This has resulted in most netizens jumping over the wall to follow Korean, Japanese, American, British and even Russian dramas, which they find interesting.

Then the authorities issued a cold restriction order!

How is this different from the policy that was introduced to restrict the entry of neon animation into the country?

The difference is that this time it is a political dispute, last time it was said that Neon anime has pornographic parts!

Co-author I am from a generation that grew up watching pornographic anime!

In addition to the benefits brought by normal investment in movies and TV series in China, most of the rest comes from endorsements. The leading artists of Zongheng Entertainment, Fan Binbin and Liu Shishi, have already earned eight figures in endorsement fees. Naza, Wan Qian, and Zhu Yilong , Zhang Ruoyun and others are now in high positions and have seven-digit endorsement fees.

After Gu Zhongyu participated in "The Story of Strange Pagoda" last year, he also received two rare endorsements. Armani's annual endorsement fee is 20 million, and Longines watches are tens of millions, which is not a lot, just earn some pocket money. Dundun bought cat food.

The annual commission from artists is close to 200 million. It’s still a pleasure to exploit employees!

As for the newly signed artists such as Bai Lu, Meng Ziyi, and Chen Yao, they have not yet produced value. Gu Zhongyu hopes that they can improve their professional skills as soon as possible, debut as soon as possible, and make money for themselves as soon as possible!

As for the upcoming "Blissful", "Mermaid", "Wolf Warrior" and some variety shows that are still in production, these have not been included in the statistics.

In short, Zongheng has made a lot of money this year!

For this reason, Gu Zhongyu decided to make this year's annual meeting more grand. In previous years, there were always artists absent, but not this year. Everyone who can come has to come, and by the way, I want to flatter my boss!

With a wave of his hand, he rented a Club Med resort in Yanjing. It has a beautiful surrounding environment and hundreds of acres of flower fields. It is the best place to hold the company's annual meeting and provides a variety of entertainment facilities, including swimming pools, water sports, and fitness. , SPA, golf courses, tennis courts, children's playgrounds and game rooms, etc.

The annual meeting is scheduled for January 20th, and basically we have a holiday a few days after the fun.

On the 20th, the annual meeting came as scheduled, and employees from the entire company gathered together. Artists included Fan Binbin, Liu Shishi, Naza, Wan Qian, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruoyun, Tang Yixin, Zhou Wei, Wang Zhi, Zhang Songwen, Zhang Junning, Mao Xiaotong, Li Yuan, Wen Zhengrong, etc., as well as Bai Lu, Meng Ziyi, Chen Yao who are still in school, directors Guo Fan, Chen Sicheng, Li Muge, Cao Dun and more than 800 other staff members!

It’s almost time to catch up with the lineup for a local TV show.

At this annual meeting, Gu Zhongyu also allowed employees to bring up to two family members to prepare for everyone to have fun for two days and one night!

Because of the large number of participants, dozens of additional commercial vehicles were rented for pick-up and drop-off.

Before the dinner started, most people gathered in the play area to play or drink tea and chat in the leisure area. Some people came to the venue early to start setting up, carrying boxes of brand new cash and gifts to be distributed later.

A must-have item at the company’s annual meeting—spread money!

This money was paid by Gu Zhongyu personally to reward outstanding employees. Not included in the year-end bonus, it is only five million, but now it has piled up into a small mountain...

Next to the cash, there were more than a hundred unopened mobile phones, computers and other digital products, as well as hundreds of shopping card red envelopes, which were used as prizes for tonight's draw.

Being so extravagant is not just to show off. You have to have the right style to match your strength. Huayi is even more outrageous. It is said that Feng Pants will move all the artists from his company to the Spring Festival Gala stage, turning the Spring Festival Gala into a It became “Huayi Annual Party!”

This Gu Zhongyu cannot be brought in for the time being, because Zongheng does not have a veteran director like Lao Mouzi. No matter how successful Chen Sicheng and Guo Fan are in business, the Spring Festival Gala will not invite them to be directors.

…

At night, the much-anticipated moment arrived. Zongheng employees gathered together. Gu Zhongyu picked up the microphone and stood on the stage enthusiastically. At this time, all the people in the company looked at their helmsman with expectation and excitement.

"Dear colleagues, dear brothers and sisters, good evening." Gu Zhongyu's voice was high-pitched and melodious.

"Good evening, Mr. Gu."

Everyone responded to his call enthusiastically. Looking at the surging crowd under the stage, Gu Zhongyu felt unprecedented satisfaction in his heart. Looking at so many Palu... Oh no, so many employees shouting for him, the happiness of the capitalists was felt all at once.

"First of all, we..."

Gu Zhongyu began his year-end summary speech. Except for taking classes at Beijing Film Academy, he rarely spoke at length. Even when he went to the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Globe Awards, he was very frugal. But in such occasions, he always felt uncomfortable if he didn't say a few words!

"Teacher Gu looks so handsome today!" Meng Ziyi, who was sitting in the audience, was looking at Gu Zhongyu with loving eyes!

Bai Lu, who was sitting at the same table, heard this and said, "When has the boss not been handsome? As my classmate, Sister Meng, don't act like you haven't seen the world, OK?"

The three of them, who were classmates from Beijing Film Academy, sat together with Fan Xiaopang, Tang Yixin and others. No one knew who arranged the seats. The artists in the company were all separated by gender, even couples like Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin were no exception.

"2013 is already in the past. In the past year, Zongheng Group has made great progress. There has not been a single loss-making work. Whether it is our own production or indirect investment projects, we have achieved brilliant results! Let us applaud ourselves and all the brothers and sisters present!"

"Boss Gu is mighty and domineering, Boss Gu is awesome!"

"Boss, I love you!"

In addition to ordinary employees, even many of the artists below couldn't hold back their excitement and shouted loudly. The craziest ones were Bai Lu and Nazha. One grinned at him and laughed at him, and the other shouted his name loudly, just like a crazy fan!

Why do bosses love to hold meetings? It's this feeling they love!

Ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, dear readers!
