Millennium director

On June 2, 2017, Liu Yifei and her management team flew to Shanghai to join the crew of "Time Travel Together" to shoot this movie.

After the filming of this movie, she will fly to North America to participate in the filming of "X-Men: Dark Phoenix".

However, "Blink" is not the main heroine in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", so she does not need to follow the crew throughout the filming. It will be finished in about a month after joining the crew. She will return to China before the end of the year to finish this year's filming.

In other words, Liu Yifei will be on a business trip for half a year. Unless Wu Yuan visits her on set, he will most likely not see his wife.

In this case, Wu Yuan, who stayed alone in Beijing, also felt a little lonely.

It was OK when working normally. There were a lot of colleagues in the crew and the company, so naturally I wouldn't feel lonely. But staying at home alone would really give people a sense of loneliness, especially when Wu Yuan woke up from the bed alone at four o'clock in the afternoon, feeling the sunset shining on his cheeks, and an endless sense of emptiness came over him.

Wu Yuan couldn't stand this feeling, so he had to pack up and go to the company on his own initiative.

This was his first time to come to the company since the Chinese New Year. Even the new receptionist in the company saw this big boss for the first time, and she was surprised.

Until Wu Yuan walked into Li Xiaoping's office, he had received countless "shocked" and "puzzled" eyes. This gentleman actually came to the company!

"What, finally can't stay at home?" Li Xiaoping looked at Wu Yuan with a smile, her face full of teasing: "You are more persistent than I thought. I thought you would come to the company the day after Xixi left."

"You just can't stand me playing badly, right?" Wu Yuan rolled his eyes unhappily, sat lazily opposite Li Xiaoping, and asked boredly: "How is the company recently?"

"Of course everything is normal."

Li Xiaoping took out a long-prepared document from the drawer and handed it to Wu Yuan for review.

"This year, the company has released three movies, with a total box office of more than 4 billion. There will be two more movies released in the second half of the year, one is "Sword Immortal" and the other is "Ex-Files 3."

"I'm really not used to not having your movie released this year."

Wu Yuan took the file and flipped through it casually. They were all some report data and the like. Needless to say, the operation of Light and Shadow Times has been on the right track since the company became the leading film company in China. Even without Wu Yuan's "midas", under the leadership of Li Xiaoping, the company's annual income is also very considerable.

When a company is big enough, as long as it can maintain stable development, even if it makes some stupid moves, it will not hurt its bones.

The more time passes, the more Wu Yuan can be a hands-off boss. Even if he loses his foresight in a few years, the company can still turn around without him, and even operate well.

This is the most gratifying thing for Wu Yuan, and it also makes him more calm when facing the future, without the embarrassment of "countdown".

Not only Guangying Times, these reports are also mixed with several other companies.

Like Guangying Times Cinema brand, it has now entered a stable operation stage, with more than 300 cinemas across the country. Although it is not the largest Chinese cinema chain, it can also be ranked among the top five in the country.

Just the value of some self-built cinemas and theater real estate has made a lot of money because of the high housing prices in recent years. In addition, in recent years, it has been a bull market for movies, and Guangying Times Cinema is also very profitable and operates very healthily.

After all, when a movie is released, the cinema chain gets the largest share. Even though Guangying Cinema Chain bears very high labor and operating costs, it can still make 700 to 800 million net profits a year.

The most important thing is that the real estate has been there, which is also an industrial asset. The value of these real estates is tens of billions, which is the big deal!

In comparison, Guangying Kuaibo is really a bottomless pit of money.

After the first round of financing was completed, except for the part that shareholders cashed out, the remaining money was all invested in the development of the company. It was just a few billion yuan, but it has almost been spent now.

Guangying Kuaibo has made more than a dozen self-made TV series and seven or eight self-made variety shows in Japan, South Korea and China in the past two years. The most important thing is that it has bought a lot of copyrights and expanded a lot of servers, and the operating costs have increased again.

The only good news is that at least after a few years of operation, Guangying Kuaibo's sites in many countries except China have achieved profitability, and the annual net profit has been growing rapidly.

Especially in terms of paying users, the payment rate in Japan and South Korea is very high, plus advertising revenue, it can also make hundreds of millions of yuan a year.

The only thing is that in China, there is still a four-player melee. Even if Guangying Kuaibo is not really involved in the melee, with the three major companies steadily eroding the market, no one dares to raise the price of paid memberships and is still losing money in exchange for market share.

However, this situation is about to be resolved. So far this year, Guangying Kuaibo has only lost more than 200 million yuan, and it is estimated that it will only lose 300 million yuan by the end of the year. It is expected to achieve net profit without losing money next year!

The main reason is that the company's Misty Theater has done a good job and has its own characteristics, which can be regarded as consolidating a group of core users who will not change platforms. On this basis, Chen Dewei is trying to develop more special theaters, using low-cost online dramas in exchange for a large base of paying users. The overall prospect is very good.

Without Wu Yuan's participation, the development of his companies in the first half of this year was very smooth, and all three companies became leaders in their respective industries.

If Wu Yuan is willing, even if he announces his retirement now, the entertainment industry he has built will not be hit hard, and they all have the ability to grow independently.

"Seeing the company's financial statements are so gratifying, I don't want to work hard anymore." Wu Yuan closed the folder and said with a smile.

"That won't work." Li Xiaoping raised her eyebrows. She didn't take Wu Yuan's words seriously, just thinking he was joking, but still said seriously: "Director Wu, you are our backbone. You can be away from the company, but you still have to work hard."

"At least we can't do without you here at Light and Shadow Times. Whether it's a new script or a new movie, the company needs you very much."

"How about it, you've been resting for more than half a year, do you have any new movie plans?"

Sure enough, as long as you see Li Xiaoping, you can't escape this matter.

Wu Yuan rolled his eyes again, but did not refuse, "It's time to think about a new movie."

"Time is running out!" (End of this chapter)
