Chapter 322 Wang Zuxian listening to the corner

December 99, 12, is a Saturday and it is also Christmas Day.

Qi Wei rushed back to Vancouver from Los Angeles.

It was a little different from when I left two days ago. There were two snowmen as tall as a person piled up in the yard of Zhou Huimin's villa. They wore red Christmas hats on their big round heads. They greeted and welcomed every passerby with a smile. Returning family.

The fences and green plants are wrapped with colorful small light bulbs, and the lights are decorated with a Christmas atmosphere.

"Qi Wei should be back!"

Hearing the sound of the doorbell, Zhou Huimin immediately stopped decorating and trotted over to open the door to greet her.

Opening the door, she saw Qi Wei, and Zhou Huimin immediately showed a bright smile.

"You're back." These four simple words are filled with longing and love for Qi Wei.

Qi Wei nodded, kissed the smile on Zhou Huimin's face and said, "Well, I'll come back as soon as we finish talking about things over there. I said I would spend Christmas with you, and I will definitely accompany you."

Then he handed her the Christmas gift he brought back.

Zhou Huimin smiled and put the gift aside. After closing the door, she first helped Qi Wei pat the snow off his body, then took off Qi Wei's thick coat, then took off his boots and put on a pair of clean slippers for Qi Wei. .
She behaves like a good wife and mother.

Qi Wei did not stop him, he let her do what he wanted and enjoyed her service. He looked at her and said with some emotion:

"I will spend every Christmas with you two from now on, this is my promise."

Zhou Huimin looked up at Qi Wei, then smiled and said: "This is what you said, we are committed."

Nowadays, the mainland is not particularly keen on these Western festivals, and many people do not have the habit of celebrating Christmas. However, Hong Kong is different. Because it was once ruled by John Bull, Hong Kong people still attach great importance to Christmas.

The movie even has a Christmas schedule. In the 80s, Leslie Cheung and Li Lizhen also made a movie "Merry Christmas" that was a box office hit.

Christmas in the West is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. It is difficult for Qi Wei to spend the Spring Festival with Zhou Huimin, so he can only settle for the second best and try to spend the Western Spring Festival with Zhou Huimin every year.

And Zhou Huimin is good at satisfying herself. Qi Wei can make such a promise, which is enough to make her happy.

Qi Wei took Zhou Huimin's arm and walked into the house. There was a Christmas tree over two meters high at the entrance of the hall, and boxes filled with gifts were piled under the tree.

There are small Christmas decorations hanging everywhere in the house, such as socks, small wreaths, small pendants, etc.

Of course, what makes Qi Wei feel the Christmas atmosphere the most is people’s dressing up.

"Why do you look like this?"

Looking at Lin Xilei, who had antlers in her hair and was wearing a red, low-cut Christmas outfit with white trim, Qi Wei showed a surprised expression.

To be precise, it should be a surprise.

This is the effect I want. Lin Xilei laughed and asked: "Isn't it Christmas? Boss, do you think I look good in this way?"

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Qi Wei.

But Lin Xilei noticed Zhou Huimin looking at him with a smile.

Although Zhou Huimin didn't seem to care, Lin Xilei still stuck out her tongue in embarrassment for seducing her boss so blatantly.

Sexy and playful.

"It looks pretty, but you can only dress up for one day." Qi Wei replied with a smile.

Who said she could only dress up for one day? Lin Xilei disagreed, thinking that her boss thought she could dress up like this every day.

"It is indeed sexy and charming, you young people are better." Zhou Huimin couldn't help but sigh.

Although Zhou Huimin is actively doing postpartum recovery exercises, the time is too short and it is not particularly obvious. At this moment, she is still a little mellow.

"Don't say that. In my heart, no matter what you become, you are still my goddess, sexy and charming." Speaking skillfully of love words, Qi Wei kissed Zhou Huimin's lips.

"You still have a sweet mouth." Zhou Huimin looked at Qi Wei and laughed.

"You too, your lips are as sweet as honey."

Lin Xilei got goosebumps all over her body as she watched Qi Wei and Zhou Huimin chatting with each other in disgusting love words.

She trembled, then rolled her eyes secretly.

At this time, a beautiful woman came out of the guest bedroom.

Like Lin Xilei, she is dressed in red Christmas clothes, but the difference is that she wears a Santa hat instead of antlers.

"Why are you here?" Qi Wei asked in surprise when he saw Wang Zuxian.

"It was Vivian who stayed with me for Christmas." Wang Zuxian explained. She looked at Qi Wei, then showed a sweet smile and asked:
"Why, aren't you welcome?"

Qi Wei shook his head and replied: "You are welcome to spend Christmas with us."

Wang Zuxian held the skirt with both hands and asked, "Does this look beautiful on me?"

"Uh." Qi Wei glanced at Zhou Huimin and replied, "Yeah, she's very beautiful."

Looking at Wang Zuxian, Qi Wei had an indescribable feeling.

Anyway, she is a little different from the one I knew before.

They happily spent Christmas with Zhou Huimin and others. After the Christmas dinner, Zhou Huimin went to take care of the baby, while Qi Wei secretly took care of some work.

The year 99 has almost passed, and it’s time to make a year-end summary.

In the study, Qi Wei, dressed as Santa Claus, took off his Santa hat and began to read the financial reports faxed from the company.

The first is the record company side.

This year, Qi Wei's record company released a total of three albums.

Two of them are Jay Chou and Gao Yuanyuan's first albums, and the other is Qi Wei's third album.

Qi Wei's third solo album was released in May. Over the past six months, it has sold more than 400 million copies in the mainland alone.

Although the demand for records continues to increase with economic development, the record market has shrunk to a certain extent due to the impact of piracy.

Under normal circumstances, the sales volume of Qi Wei's third solo album, like others, would not meet expectations.

It will not exceed the 270 million sales of his second solo album last year.

However, thanks to Qi Wei's strategy of bundling sales of records and DVDs, and with the popularity of DVD players in China, Qi Wei's second album sold 400 million copies very easily.

And most of it is sales of DVD records.

Even with the discount, after deducting production costs, publicity and distribution and other expenses, through other income such as record sharing and copyright, Qi Wei's album brought the company more than 4000 million yuan in revenue.

As for Jay Chou and Gao Yuanyuan's first album, although it did not meet expectations due to the impact of piracy, it was not far behind, and both ended up selling hundreds of thousands of copies in the mainland.

Gao Yuanyuan's folk album sold slightly more than tens of thousands of copies.

Universal Music Group also helped distribute the album to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

When released to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Gao Yuanyuan's folk album basically made no splash, but Jay Chou was different. Guangwanwan achieved record sales no less than those in the mainland.

Subtracting Universal Music's share, the sales of his album in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia also brought the company a few hundred profits.

Overall, Jay Chou and Gao Yuanyuan's first albums can be described as huge successes, and they both made money for the company.

Although they both make money, there are still differences.

The cost of production and promotion of Gao Yuanyuan's folk album is higher, but Jay Chou's album can sell sales in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, so Jay Chou's first album is more profitable than Gao Yuanyuan's folk album.

The two albums brought tens of millions of revenue to the company, of which Jay Chou's first album accounted for [-]%.

It costs less and can bring more benefits. It is indeed a future-proof money printing machine, so Jay Chou's second album was immediately put on the schedule. It is now being intensively produced and is expected to be released in March next year. Can be issued.

In addition, there are singers participating in business activities such as commercial performances and so on.

It also brought millions in revenue to the company.

And there are concerts.

Because the concert was handed over to Universal Music, Qi Wei's record company could only get a small part of the share.

It's about 1000 million.

That's about it, there are a few more that can be ignored.

All added up, Qi Wei's record company created more than 6000 million yuan in profits this year, more than double last year's profit.

This is still the profit of Qi Wei Records, Qi Wei's personal income has not been counted.

Only through record sharing and commercial performance, Qi Wei brought more than 3000 million in after-tax income.

The bulk of it was concerts. After holding eighteen concerts, Qi Wei personally received more than 5000 million in after-tax income through concert ticket components, broadcast fees, video tapes, commemorative CDs, etc.

Of course, actual profit is not the same as book profit.

The company also has a lot of "expenses".Not counting the daily operating expenses, Qi Weiguang spent several million on new commercial vehicles and luxury cars for the company.

I bought another commercial building and spent tens of millions.

In addition, Qi Wei rented the real estate he bought in the capital to the company at a high price as a staff dormitory.

After all the calculations, Ling Ling and Zong Zong basically spent all the money they earned this year.

Including the previous years, the company's accounts only have less than 2000 million.

Qi Wei still felt that 2000 million was too much.

Qi Wei is going to spend 1000 million for share dividends.

According to Qi Wei's shares in the company, Qi Wei can get 700 million.

Of course, Qi Wei is well aware of the reason for wanting horses to run as fast as they can graze. In addition to dividends for shares, he is also planning to distribute dividends for employees.

It's true that it is currently his most profitable career. After reading the financial statements of his record company, Qi Wei was in a pretty good mood.

Then Qi Wei went to see the financial statements of his film and television company.

His face is not as pretty as before.

Now Qi Wei's film and television company has split movies and TV series into two companies.

First is the movie aspect.

The first is "See You or Separate". Qi Wei invested 200 million in this drama and obtained a 25% share.

The film was released during this year's Lunar New Year holiday and ultimately earned over 4000 million at the box office, becoming the top-grossing film released in mainland China this year.

Although the box office is several million higher than last year's "Party A and Party B", due to the increase in costs, the revenue is not as high as last year's "Party A and Party B".

200 became 500.

The 200 million yuan was earned through "Party A and Party B" last year, and "See You or Be Parted" was Han Sanping's special investment share that he kept for himself.

So the 500 million, just like last year, was only used in my company's account, and finally invested in other movies in accordance with Han Sanping's requirements.

This year Qi Wei did not invest in Feng Xiaogang's third Lunar New Year movie "Endless". The 500 million he invested were all money-losing literary films, and they were basically wasted.

Of course, Qi Wei must have made money by maintaining a good relationship with Han Sanping in this way.

I don't care about the little money.

The distribution rights of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" were sold in Japan last year. After "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" was released in Japan, the money also arrived. Including bonuses, the total is 100 million US dollars, almost 800w.

In addition, "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" was also released in the mainland.

Although the popularity of the movie in Japan attracted many viewers to the cinema, due to the unpopular theme of the movie in China and the sluggishness of the movie market, it only earned a mere 600 million in less than a month after its release. box office.

After deducting the more than 100 million yuan for publicity and distribution, we only made more than 100 million yuan.

In addition to the income of more than 100 million from selling TV broadcast rights and video tape copyrights, the total income is about 1000 million. Subtracting the 350 million production cost of the film, "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" probably earned the company more than 700 million.

Qi Wei spent 300 million to buy the northern distribution rights of "Lotus Lantern" and another 200 million to promote the animated film.

After the release of "Lotus Lantern", the film made more than 3000 million box office, of which 1600 million was in the north.

Qi Wei's company received a box office share of more than 600 million yuan. In the end, "Baolian Lantern" earned Qi Wei's company more than 100 million yuan.

In addition to these, Qi Wei's company has also invested in the production of "Savage Girl" and "Hunter", as well as movies such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Suspect" and "Hero".

The production cost of "Savage Girl" is 1200 million, the investment of "The Gun" is an additional 500 million, the investment of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is 1500 million, the investment of "Suspect" is half of the 1500 million investment, 750 million, and the investment of "Hero" 5000 million investment.
The total amount is almost 9000 million. Although most of these movies are invested from outside, as the saying goes, the squire has to donate before the common people can follow suit. Part of this is Qi Wei's own money.

Calculated at a little more than 3000%, Qi Wei himself paid almost [-] million.

Most of this money was borrowed from banks, so the funds were relatively abundant.

There are also movies such as "Kung Fu Football", "Infernal Affairs", and "17 Years Old Bicycle". These movies have reached investment agreements, but because the project is in preparation and the money has not yet been received, so they are all included in next year.

Next up is the TV series.

Qi Wei's company has prepared three TV series projects of its own, "Meteor Garden", "Little Li Flying Knife" and "Youngster Bao Qingtian".

Among them, "Meteor Garden" has already recovered its production costs through sponsorship investment.

As for the total investment of more than 3000 million yuan in "Little Li Fei Dao" and the 1500 million yuan investment in "Young Man Bao Qingtian", just like the movies, most of them were borrowed from outside investments. Qi Wei paid 1500 yuan himself. Around [-].

In addition, Qi Wei also invested in Zhao Baogang's "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" and Zhang Beard's "Swordsman" and so on.

These are TV drama projects of other companies, so Qi Wei only invested a little symbolically.

Not more than one, only two to three million, the total is less than 300 million.

In addition to these expenses, of course there is also income.

For example, "Never Close Eyes" became a hit after its release. Qi Wei's company originally invested 250 million yuan in the film, which tripled, directly bringing 500 million yuan in revenue to Qi Wei's company.

And the profits are still continuing, and there will be a few million in profits in the next few years.

There is also "Daming Palace Ci". Although this TV series will not be broadcast until March next year, the first broadcast rights have been sold to CCTV.

Although CCTV has always been stingy in buying dramas, Qi Wei has recovered more than half of his original 500 million investment.

Generally speaking, when it comes to TV dramas, like movies, the expenditure is still far greater than the income.

But the situation is much better than last year. Qi Wei is also confident that he can turn a negative situation into a profit next year and does not need to spend any more money himself.

After reading the financial statements of the film and television company, Qi Wei noticed that Lin Xilei had quietly sat next to him.

The eyes that looked at him affectionately made him know what was going on.

"What do you want to do with this look?" Qi Wei gently scratched her chin and asked knowingly.

Lin Xilei moved directly to sit on Qi Wei's body, put his arms on Qi Wei's shoulders, and then said coquettishly: "Boss, I haven't been with you for several months. I am also a normal woman. I also have Desireful, I'm burning with desire now, I want to"

"But this is Zhou Huimin's home." Qi Wei said and grabbed her dishonest hands.

"But this is exactly what Sister Huimin asked me to come."

In Zhou Huimin's bedroom, the baby was asleep and Zhou Huimin was reading a parenting book when Wang Zuxian suddenly broke in.

"The baby has just fallen asleep, don't wake her up." Zhou Huimin reminded in a low voice.

After seeing Wang Zuxian's gentle movements, Zhou Huimin asked: "Is there something urgent about your sudden intrusion?"

"Of course it's urgent. Your assistant named Lin Xilei is seducing your man in the study. They have been in the study for more than half an hour!"

Seeing Wang Zuxian acting like the emperor was not anxious and the eunuch was, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiao Lei, she used to be Qi Wei's personal assistant. Qi Wei specially sent her here to take care of me. With such a beautiful personal assistant, it's not difficult to guess her relationship with Qi Wei. Yes, it's what you think. She is also a woman from Qi Wei."

"Ah!" Wang Zuxian was greatly surprised, "But even so, he shouldn't be having sex with other women in your house."

"I asked Xiao Lei to go."

Then Zhou Huimin explained: "These days, I can see how he takes good care of me. In order to take care of my emotions, he abstained from sex for more than ten days. I was already very touched, but I just After giving birth, I couldn't satisfy him. He was young and had strong energy and blood, so he couldn't help it, so I went with Xiaolei."

"How could you do this? It's really unreasonable." Wang Zuxian rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Why, do you think I did something wrong, or do you want to replace Xiaolei?"

"What did you say?" Wang Zuxian opened her eyes wide and was even more surprised.

Then he immediately denied it: "I have never had such thoughts about him!"

"Haha." Zhou Huimin laughed twice and said, "It's precisely because you don't have this idea, so I think you are safer. At least you won't have true feelings for him. There has been no man around you for so long. You should You also want to do this kind of thing, let me tell you, he is very good at this, and he will definitely be able to satisfy you."

"Really, why have you become like this? I shouldn't say anything nice about you." In the end, Wang Zuxian ran away.

Watching Wang Zuxian leave, Zhou Huimin put away her joking smile, sneered, and asked bluntly: "How did I become like this?"

But looking at the sleeping baby in the crib not far away, she had the answer in her heart and showed a loving smile again.

Wang Zuxian was a little lost when she left Zhou Huimin's room, but somehow she came to the door of the study.

The door to the study room was ajar, and it seemed like one could hear intermittent intertwining sounds inside against the door.

In the study, Santa Claus drives his beautiful little elk.

The sound of joy is endless.

Outside the study, the eavesdropper gradually turned red and finally fell to the ground trembling.

Her body also seemed to be "falling apart."
