Chapter 698 Hulao Pass
As for Hongmeng Animation, it has been in the investment stage after acquiring Shanghai Film Studio.
Rich animation copyrights generate very limited revenue each year.
But even so, Hongmeng Entertainment is still developing rapidly.
An increase of 89% compared to the same period last year.
After closing the document, Xu Liang thought silently for a moment.
“The development of Hongmeng Entertainment is very good, thank you for your hard work.”
Xiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief.
Passed.
Since Wu Xifan resigned, it has greatly shocked Hongmeng’s management.
Xu Liang's words directly increased the Sanda King's bonus several times.
Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction.
In addition to the stick, he also planned to give honey.
Xu Liang did not expect that firing Wu Xifan would have such an effect.
“Okay.”
Xu Liang smiled and said: "How is the development of "Kung Fu Panda" going?"
He does not want to simply use KPIs as the only criterion for judging the quality of a manager.
Even the veterans who started the business at the beginning can be fired, let alone latecomers like them.
Because it is saved locally, there is no lag when placing it.
At the same time, the bonus for the ‘Sanda King’ project will be increased.
"Without your strategic guidance, Hongmeng Entertainment would not have developed so fast."
Soon, a silly panda wearing yellow pants appeared in front of Xu Liang.
"In addition, although Guowu Sports has developed well, it is still a bit behind in my eyes."
Increase the championship bonus to 5 million Huaxia coins.
Walked.
Because of the drawings he provided, Abao's image was exactly the same as Xu Liang's memory.
So after noticing this trend, Xu Liangliang secretly decided.
It is not suitable for R&D departments.
Yan Dong was shocked when the big boss mentioned himself.
This also made him understand a truth.
Therefore, the work efficiency within Hongmeng has been greatly improved during this period, and the somewhat lazy atmosphere after the Series B financing was instantly dissipated.
The Raccoon Master and Taro who appear later are similar.
Gradually increase the company's option pool from 15% to 20%.
“The company invested a sum of money to set up a training center in Beijing, Magic City, Pengcheng, and Yangcheng, purchased the most advanced training equipment from abroad, and hired professional coaches, nutritionists, and masseurs.< br>
Build Guowu Sports into the most professional competitive sports company in the country
Of course, this reform is a long-term matter, and there are still many details in the process.
Research and development is a relatively random thing with a certain amount of luck.
I want to improve the work efficiency within the company, increase revenue capabilities, maintain physical health, and avoid big company diseases.
It’s not just about planning.
"Not bad. Tell Zhao Lang that this is our company's first animated feature film and ask him to craft it carefully. What I want is a high-quality product, not a fast-moving consumer product."
The accompanying secretary quickly took out the computer and after a simple operation, put it in front of Xu Liang.
"Based on the drawings and plot you provided, Zhao Lang made a short film of "Kung Fu Panda"."
After reaching the finals, each will receive 500,000 Chinese coins. ”
The one-and-a-half-minute short film ended quickly.
Yan Dong’s expression instantly became excited. Such a high prize money will definitely attract boxers from all over the country and even foreign countries to participate.
The runner-up is RMB 3 million and the third runner-up is RMB 1.5 million.
Putting pressure on leaders is always more effective than suppressing ordinary employees.
No matter how many meetings you hold, it will not have a greater deterrent effect than firing a top-level leader.
Xu Liang clicked on the video on the desktop.
Three director levels (department heads) are eliminated every year, one vice president level (branch general manager) is eliminated every two years, and one president level (subsidiary president) is eliminated every three years. .
Respectfully said to Lily.
The competitive level has been greatly improved and the games are more exciting.
The higher the ratings, the more money they will make.
"Mr. Xu, if you can't get back such a high investment..." Xiang Lily said worriedly.
“If we don’t increase investment, ‘Sanda King’ will never develop. I don’t need a program with no future.
Also, while setting up training centers in first-tier cities, there must also be competition venues.
Try to play a game once a week... ”
Looking at Xiang Lili’s troubled expression, Xu Liang took the initiative to stop.
His idea is to take Guowu Sports as the core.
First develop into the most professional in the country sports training institutions
Then develop branches and build venues in first-tier cities and second-tier cities.
Once a week, or once every two weeks, play games and create income.
Finally, it is developing in the direction of youth sports. This is the real big market.
Twenty years later, most parents will sign up their children to learn martial arts in order to prevent their children from being bullied or to strengthen their bodies.
And as the trend of sports being included in the college entrance examination becomes more and more obvious, the market in this area will become bigger.
Before his rebirth, the size of the martial arts training market had grown to 50 billion Chinese coins.
When the growth of the art training company he founded slowed down, he wanted to do this.
The result was that people traveled through time before it could be implemented.
What a pity.
In addition, Guowu Sports has another advantage. The boxers it trains can become excellent bodyguards with a little training.
It fits the needs of the ‘Red Shield Security’ company that has become independent from Hongyan Fund.
But this business has little to do with Hongmeng.
No wonder Xiang Lili is reluctant.
"Forget it, since you don't want to do sports, then separate Guowu Sports from Hongmeng. From now on, you two will only cooperate on the 'Sanda King' project."
Nod to Lily and agree. .
"Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Although it went against Xu Liang's will, as the president of an independent subsidiary, she was not a yes man. It also has its own operational ideas.
Unless Xu Liang forces it, she does not plan to do business that has nothing to do with herself.
"Did you get the project for "Wulin Gaiden"?"
"I got it. We plan to start shooting in January next year."
Xu Liang nodded.
"Place the filming location in Songcheng, Qingzhou, and I will build you a Seven Heroes Town there."
The reason why he values this project is that he hopes to capitalize on the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" , to promote Qingzhou’s tourism projects.
In particular, he invested 300 million to build the "Song City" according to the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
"Okay."
"When will "Bright Sword" be released?"
"In March next year."
"Are you sure?"
"OK."
Xu Liang nodded.
Xiang Lili hesitated, "Mr. Xu, we have been in the film and television business for more than three years, and have produced and participated in nearly 20 TV series.
But in terms of movies, we have never been able to do it. It’s a big production.
I think it’s time to make a blockbuster movie to consolidate and enhance Hongmeng Entertainment’s position in the industry.”
“What do you want to make?”< br>
"Four masterpieces. They have a wide audience in China and are even famous abroad. As long as they are well shot, they can not only earn Chinese box office, but also recover part of it from abroad, greatly reducing the possibility of losses."
"I thought you wanted to make a costume blockbuster." Xu Liang said with a smile.
“After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", and "House of Flying Daggers", both at home and abroad, we are a little tired of this type of movie.
We If you want to achieve results, it is a bad idea to follow others and pick their brains.”
Xu Liang nodded, Xiang Lili’s idea was good.
"Among the four major classics, The Red Mansion is too difficult."
The 1987 version is too classic. If someone makes a mistake and gets scolded, it's better not to feel uncomfortable.
"The special effects of "Journey to the West" are too expensive and not advisable.
Three Kingdoms is pretty good, the filming is good, and it can also earn income from the Japanese market."
The novelists are more obsessed with the Three Kingdoms than China.
"Red Cliff" was so well shot that it made a box office of 10.6 billion yen in Japan, and it has a very high reputation. It's incredible.
“Water Margin is also good, but Water Margin does not have the foundation to make a blockbuster.”
What is a blockbuster?
Big stars, big investments, big scenes.
Celebrities are easy to talk about.
But it’s really hard to handle a big scene.
The most charming part of the Water Margin is that before the one and a hundred generals gathered together, it was basically meaningless after they received the imperial edict.
One hundred and eight generals gathered in Yiyi, Song Jiang, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, etc. can be shot at a small cost at most.
It is difficult to make war scenes such as the three attacks on Zhujiazhuang and the attack on Zengtou City very big.
As a rebel leader, if you bring out thousands of troops, the audience will think it is fake.
"So you want to make "Three Kingdoms"?"
"Yes. As you said, with the supplement of the Japanese market, we can greatly avoid losses."
Now Japan is but The second largest ticket warehouse in the world.
The samurai and Japanese actors who appear in Hollywood movies are elements they deliberately added in order to attract Japanese attention.
After China rose up, these elements changed again.
The line in Hollywood has always been soft.
Be able to change the white into black, even if you are laughed at by the crowd.
"Which section of the Three Kingdoms?" Xu Liang asked.
"The princes are asking Dong."
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
There are many big scenes in the Three Kingdoms, and the thirty-six princes' challenge to Dong is the first one.
"How much is the investment?"
"About 150 million Chinese coins."
"Where is the director?"
"I would like to invite Zhang Yimou, If he is not available, please ask Chen Kaige or Tsui Hark.”
"Chen Kaige, forget it."
What a joke.
The success rate of princes asking Dong to be photographed by others is at least half, but the success rate of asking poets to photograph is probably less than 10%.
He doesn’t want the blockbuster film he invested in to turn into a ‘murder case of a steamed bun’.
“Let’s talk to Lao Zhang, he is the only director in China who can control big scenes.”
"Okay."
"It doesn't sound good for the princes to criticize Dong, so let's change it to "Hulao Pass"."
Xiang Lili didn't refuse either.
This name is indeed better than "The princes challenge Dong".
"Mr. Xu, do you have any instructions for actors?"
"Leave Diao Chan to Liu Qianqian. You can take care of the other characters."
"I understand."
Xiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Liu Qianqian's acting skills are a bit poor, her stunning beauty is indeed suitable for the role of Diao Chan.
The two of them chatted about Hongmeng Entertainment’s next plans. Time passed little by little, and it gradually reached noon.
After having lunch together, Xiang Lili left.
In the afternoon, I explained to Yan Dong the future development plans of Guowu Sports.
He was very excited at first, but later became anxious.
Boss Xu’s plan is so huge that he is afraid that he cannot control it.
Xu Liang comforted him before leaving.
