Chapter 365: The Great Harvest of Year-End Summary
In addition to the heads of various departments of Donglong International, there were also some small shareholders such as Hong Jinbao. In addition to Hong Jinbao, although the other few shares were not many and had no decision-making power, they had the right to attend the meeting and the right to express their opinions.
According to Ma Xinlian, Donglong International released a total of six films last year. In addition to the movie "Fa Qianhan" at the end of the previous year, there were "The Wrong Car" at the beginning of the year, "Drunk Fist 2", "Fu Xing 2", and later "Happy Ghost", and the next "Merry Christmas".
In addition, there is "The Junior Brother" from Shenglong. Although this drama is not a drama of Donglong International, Donglong International also owns half of Weilong Pictures' shares.
In addition to the six dramas released, there are also "Eight Stars News" that are about to be released during the Spring Festival, and "Beware of the Little Hands" that Hong Jinbao and others have prepared for the release during the Spring Festival.
Compared with the previous year, there were one or two more films released by Donglong International last year. Although "Fa Qianhan" was produced the year before and was released at the end of the year before, it was also included in the performance of last year. However, by the end of this year, there were no films released by the company.
So, in terms of the total box office of the whole year, it was 20 to 30 million more than last year, but it still only accounts for about a quarter of the total box office of Xiangjiang movies.
Because the total box office of Xiangjiang movies increased again last year, although Donglong International also filmed one or two more movies, there was not much change in terms of box office ratio.
This is actually very amazing for Donglong International. You know, they only filmed those few movies. How many movies are produced in the entire Xiangjiang film industry a year? There are at least hundreds of movies, but the box office of these hundreds of movies is only three times that of Donglong International. How can such a box office share not make people jealous?
If it weren't for the jealousy of Donglong International and the threat brought by Donglong International, Shao Daheng and Boss Zou would be full and go to provoke Wu Cheng!
However, now they can't steal chickens and lose some rice! They didn't eat mutton, but they were so sexy, which really made them feel unacceptable and they were secretly angry.
After Ma Xinlian reported the box office results of several movies, Shi Nansheng then stood up to report to everyone about the overseas distribution. Compared with the previous year, Donglong International's overseas distribution situation was much better last year, especially in North America.
At the beginning, due to Shaw Brothers' constraints, the situation was better than the previous year, but it was not much better. It was not until Hong Xing opened the Xintangkou there that the situation improved.
In addition to distributing videos to his own company, Donglong International's overseas distribution department also released more than 30 movies for other film companies last year, resulting in nearly 100 million yuan in revenue.
Of course, few videos from other companies are distributed to North America, and more are distributed to their own companies. Just Donglong International's own company's videos have a box office share of about HK$200 million in North America.
Of course, this is a box office share without deducting any taxes and various expenses.
Compared with the previous year, it can be said that the situation in the distribution department is much better!
Hearing this situation, Hong Jinbao and the others' eyes lit up.
At the same time, he was secretly sighing that Shenglong filmed a movie "The Junior Brother Takes the Horse" last year, but it ended up causing so many things, and the total box office was only about 10 million, which was not much different from Jiahe's "The Body Sale Deed". Speaking of which, Shenglong was also self-inflicted.
If he didn't make a fuss and just reacted directly to Wu Cheng, then neither Donglong International nor Wu Cheng's reputation would be damaged, and the box office of the film "The Junior Brother" would not be that small.
At the same time, there is no need to give Feilong Cinema more than 10% of the box office.
If Xiangjiang's box office results are good, overseas distribution can be easier. Now it seems that the overseas distribution of this drama may suffer some losses.
By this calculation, Shenglong is a big loss!
To count it all, Shenglong's "Junior Brother Takes Out" adds up the box office revenue of Xiangjiang and overseas box office revenue, which is estimated to earn about five or six million. This is the income after deducting the cost. Of course, taxes and other things are still here.
But think about it, if Shenglong stayed at Donglong International, with his half-component shares, how much dividends would he get this year? Moreover, it would save a lot of trouble! You don’t have to worry about everything yourself.
Well, there are also half-component shares of Feilong Cinema. It is estimated that Feilong Cinema's revenue will not be too bad. Donglong International's own box office share is more than 30 million.
In addition to the box office share of other companies, there is still a box office revenue of 70 to 80 million yuan.
So, they all felt that Shenglong had a loss this time!
Of course, they thought that Shenglong could make so much money for five or six million in a movie. If he had performed several movies a year, wouldn’t it be even more?
However, this is just a possibility under an ideal state! In fact, Shenglong is often injured and can shoot two movies a year on average, which is already very good. Unless he is shooting a movie that is not dangerous! Otherwise, the speed will definitely not be faster.
In comparison, holding Donglong International's thighs and worry-free experience is actually the real kingdom. At least Hong Jinbao feels that if they follow Donglong International and Wu Cheng like this, they will all be billionaires in ten years.
In fact, Hong Jinbao felt that if he sold 100% of his shares, it would probably be worth tens of millions!
...
Of course, if you have income, you will naturally have expenses. The most expensive ones are the production department and the publicity department. However, the expenditures in the publicity department are often calculated to be in the production department, because the promotional fee for a video is part of the production fee.
The work of the Propaganda Department is relatively easy. In addition to the publicity work of its own company, it also helps the publicity department on Feilong Cinema.
The propaganda departments of the two companies are actually about to merge together.
Wu Cheng plans to merge the Propaganda Department of Feilong Cinema and the Propaganda Department of Donglong International next year to establish an advertising company and become a subsidiary of Donglong.
In this way, you can not only promote your own company's movies, but also take orders from other companies, which can also be considered an additional income generation!
With the ability of Susan, manager of the Propaganda Department, Wu Cheng believes that she can stand alone.
After several senior executives stood up to report their respective work, financial manager Ma Xinlian stood up again and announced the revenue of Donglong International this year.
The box office share in Hong Kong, excluding tax and various expenses, has a net income of about 20 million Hong Kong dollars. The distribution department’s income from distributing videos for its own company and distributing videos for other companies, has a share in income from excluding tax and various expenses.
It can be said that the opening of North American ticket warehouses has more than doubled the revenue of Donglong International's overseas issuance Department. The North American ticket warehouses, plus the ticket warehouses in Japan and South Korea, even if the South China Sea is a little different, the total is quite considerable.
In addition to the scene of the movie "The Wrong Car" released on Baodao last year, the ticket store in Baodao was even more powerful than the previous year.
Donglong International's net income last year reached more than 260 million, which doubled directly compared with the previous year. This is not only because of the increased occupation of Japanese and Korean ticket warehouses, but also because of the powerful North American ticket warehouses.
Of course, if compared with DreamWorks, Donglong International is much worse.
It can even be said that there is nothing comparable at all!
You should know that last year's "The Sixth Sense" had a global box office of nearly 500 million yuan, and it was US dollars. It was converted into the current Hong Kong dollar, which is more than 2 billion yuan. Among these 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, DreamWorks can get at least 1 billion yuan, of course this refers to pre-tax.
No wonder Daheng Shao and Boss Zou secretly complained that Wu Cheng had already slept on the Jinshan Mountain and even came to Xiangjiang to compete for food with them. It was simply hateful!
Just for the drama "The Sixth Sense", the income that DreamWorks can earn is much higher than the income that Donglong International worked hard last year.
Therefore, Shirley Lansing disagrees with Wu Cheng's market even though he has already established his foothold in North America, but he still does not give up on the Hong Kong market.
The income of a play is equivalent to the efforts of Donglong International for a year, so it is normal for people to despise it. If Wu Cheng hadn't had fewer North American movies in his mind and did not want to give up so many Xiangjiang movies in his mind, nor would he want to give up the mainland market that would explode with infinite potential in the future... Of course, the most important thing is that the goddesses he liked were all in Xiangjiang!
Otherwise, how could he continue to stay in this place? He would have gone to North America long ago!
However, if others don’t agree with it, everyone in Donglong International was extremely excited when they heard the news.
Is this achievement the only one in Xiangjiang?
Which one of the film companies in Xiangjiang has such achievements?
Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, two major film companies, have joined forces now and are still not their rivals to Donglong International. How can we compare?
In addition to the loan returned to the bank and leaving 50 million as development funds, the remaining 100 million was taken out to pay dividends. Donglong International wanted to build a cinema before, but it borrowed a lot of money.
In fact, although the company has made so much money, half of the real working capital has been filled into the big hole in the cinema.
It's pretty good to be able to pay 100 million to pay dividends now.
On the books, there are 50 million development funds, but in fact there are only more than 20 million cash.
However, the company has more than 20 million in cash, so it can be completely turned over. After all, this year's drama has not been completely formulated, and several directors are still resting now.
Even some shooting plans don’t actually cost much!
