Chapter 242 Pulling the Tiger’s Skin
Huaqing's current revenue is roughly divided into four segments.
First, the film sector, which includes the productions of leading investors, jointly produced works of participating investors, as well as the peripheral and copyright income of the films.
Second, derivative businesses, such as theater chains, new media businesses and other financial investments.
Third, the income from the music sector.
The fourth sector is the brokerage business, which accounts for a considerable part of Huaqing's overall revenue. Sometimes, the income an actor brings in a year is more than the sum of the credits from several movies.
This is also the reason why capital is keen on applauding the top performers. They can make too much money, which is much more effective than polishing their works honestly.
Therefore, when Xu Xiyu said that he would make a TV series to praise the actor.
Both Ke Xinying and Qiao Shuangshuang and Jiang Yue immediately expressed their agreement. For Hua Qing, praising actors is as important a business line as making movies.
However, Ke Xinying is still a little hesitant about "All or Nothing".
I saw her say: "We really plan to give up on "All or Nothing". I think it is indeed a hot spot. Even if Donghai shoots it, we will probably make some money from it."
"Someone will definitely make money. The movie market is huge and can accommodate two movies with the same theme. But the problem is, what we want is not some profit, but to win over Donghai, an opponent who has exposed our corner. .
If our box office is worse than Donghai with the same theme, then we will be completely passive. Whether it is within the company or the external market, confidence in us will plummet.
Everyone will think, ‘Oh, sure enough, Hua Qing’s backbone is really going to die if its core members run away’. This is a very important issue. What Huaqing needs most now is everyone’s confidence.
Therefore, our main project can only be "I'm Not the God of Medicine". If nothing else happens, this movie will bring us both fame and fortune. This is the real win.
We want to tell employees within the company, as well as external shareholders and partners, that even if those people rebel, Huaqing can still win against Donghai.
"All or Nothing" is a genre that cannot be played with. At this stage, what the audience wants to see is how the characters were deceived and abused. Other things are not important at all.
I can figure this out, and people on the other side of the East China Sea can definitely figure it out too. Therefore, if Donghai hires a bunch of big names to act, we might not be able to win at the box office, so we can’t take such a risk. ”
Although "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was filed in Lu Qanyao's company. But in the end, Hua Qing will definitely be the final producer and the bulk of the accounts.
After saying this, Xu Xiyu continued: "However, one movie still cannot support our business volume this year. Therefore, if "All or Nothing" is not produced, we will indeed have to invest in another one."
"What to invest in? Are there any promising projects?" Qiao Shuangshuang asked curiously.
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu was a little helpless. Of course he had the project, but unfortunately, the company only had three directors now, and Ji Libo couldn't count on it.
Two directors have exactly two projects.
So, he shook his head and said: "Not yet, let's wait."
"What TV series should I vote for? Do you have any good books?"
"This is true." Xu Xiyu chose the kind of TV series where the actors are particularly famous.
This actor who is out of the industry cannot be an actor who has a high reputation in the past. It must be the kind of TV series in which non-famous actors become popular directly through this drama and have their own memes on the Internet.
In addition, the best times should be closer.
Therefore, Xu Xiyu hopes to choose from TV dramas in 2023. There are indeed many good domestic dramas on earth in 2023. The most well-known ones are definitely "Three-Body", "Hurry" and "The Long Season".
But overall, "The Three-Body Problem" would have been better if it had been based on the original work.
Xu Xiyu hopes to copy the original work of "The Three-Body Problem" before filming it. This kind of science fiction masterpiece will never go out of style easily, and it can be shot anytime.
As for "The Long Season", this drama can be regarded as the king of dramas for 23 years in the hearts of many people, and its reputation has exploded. But there is a problem. This drama does not have enough exposure for non-famous actors.
Among these three high-scoring dramas, "Crazy" is the one with the most out-of-the-circle characters and the best statistics in all aspects.
To be honest, if Xu Xiyu were asked to rank these three dramas in terms of quality, he would rank "Crazy" at the bottom, but what he wants now is data.
In addition, Xu Xiyu also wanted another thing, which was Hu Ningtian's "tiger skin".
After all, whether it is "Desperate" or "I'm Not a Medicine God", including "Hurry", there will actually be trouble in passing the review.
Xu Xiyu knew this very well, but he wanted to film it just because of the trouble.
He is currently cooperating with Hu Ning Tiangang. In layman's terms, he is still in the "honeymoon period." If he didn't take advantage of this "honeymoon period" to let Hu Ningtian help him out, it would be unclear whether he would still be willing to move after this stage.
This is how things are done. Now if Hu Ningtian comes forward to help him coordinate once, then Xu Xiyu will indirectly "worship the dock", and Hu Ningtian can wear this tiger skin himself.
If any subject matter is sent to me in the future, for Hu Ningtian's sake and if I know a little more about things, under normal circumstances, I won't deliberately embarrass you, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu was just about to tell a few people.
But there was a knock on the door, and then Shan Xinbao's voice came in: "Boss, it's time for a meeting."
This reminder made several people in the room raise their hands and look at their watches.
Seeing this, several people immediately stood up in perfect agreement.
A few minutes later, Xu Xiyu pushed open the door of the conference room. Before anyone could fully enter, the applause of dozens of people inside rang out.
Seeing everyone standing up without exception, with smiles on their faces, Xu Xiyu also put on He Xi's smile, stretched out his hand and said: "Everyone, sit down."
After saying this, he also walked to the main seat. After he sat down, everyone actually sat down.
"Today is just to meet everyone and get to know each other. There is nothing particularly important. So, everyone, please relax." Xu Xiyu said cheerfully after scanning the crowd.
However, his words made some people present feel a little disappointed.
Didn't Qin Shangqi say that Xu Xiyu came with a big gift?
From what he meant, there seemed to be no trace of this great gift.
Just when everyone started to think wildly, Xu Xiyu said again: "But then again, the only thing we are familiar with in the conference room is work.
If you really want to make friends, you have to put it into tonight's dinner party. Assistant Shan has also informed everyone, so let’s not talk nonsense. Who will introduce the matter at hand first? ”
Of course, meetings cannot be just small talk. If you go to any new team as a leader, don't just think about explaining your own things through speeches or other things. You must let them report a round of work first.
This applies to both big and small leaders.
Throughout the next afternoon, Xu Xiyu listened to the work reports from the bosses of various departments. He knew that these bosses must also have intentions of testing his skills.
Therefore, the content of the report also contains a lot of private information.
This was the subordinate's first test of his superior. Xu Xiyu was helpless against this test.
Hua Qing is a listed company with a market value of more than 10 billion, with more than 1,500 employees. If they want to clarify their internal affairs, they have to talk for months at least.
Therefore, all he can do is to remain silent as much as possible and not express his opinions casually at the meeting to avoid making a "joke".
After all, the company is composed of people, and Xu Xiyu still needs to maintain the "dignity" of a leader. This "dignity" cannot only be reflected in the shares.
However, he didn't want to make a joke.
It doesn't mean that some people will let him go. Some people just want to make jokes for Xu Xiyu on his first day in the company and make him lose face.
It's not enough to be embarrassed, but this embarrassing incident must be used to stir up chaos within Hua Qing again.
In the evening, in a banquet hall of a hotel near the company, Xu Xiyu's first company headquarters employee team-building dinner officially began after he took over Huaqing.
There were more than a hundred tables in the huge banquet hall, and the scene was comparable to an annual meeting. All the company's staff and artists in Beijing were present.
Except for the employees, of course.
A young woman was also let in.
The woman was sitting at a table in the back corner of the banquet.
She is tall and wears a mask. Judging from the exposed eyes and the bones of her head, she must be quite beautiful.
At this time, she was sitting on a chair, looking at Xu Xiyu who walked onto the stage amidst the applause of the crowd and was about to deliver a pre-dinner speech, with a trace of reminiscence in her eyes.
Xiyu.
haven't seen you for a long time.
