The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 535: Financial Report of Zhuoguang Technology

After listening to Mr. Zhu's words, the shareholders of Huayue Entertainment began to discuss in a low voice again.

After some discussion, the shareholders all turned to look at Sister Shan. Obviously, they left the decision-making power of this matter to Sister Shan.

Sister Shan didn't hesitate to express her opinion directly: "I have just said that I personally support Mr. Zhu's film plan. If you want to give the decision-making power to me, I will vote in favor."

Upon hearing this, no shareholder raised any objection, and they obviously agreed with Sister Shan's decision.

"Then it's settled. The company will invest 2 million yuan in Mr. Zhu's film The Battle at Lake Changjin after the new year. This project is also the company's first major S+ project next year.

In addition to "Changjin Lake", the company will have one S+ TV series project and two A+ TV series projects next year.

The S+ TV series project is called "Day and Night Chase", which is a suspense and mystery TV series. The two A+ TV series are also a suspense and mystery TV series, one is a suspense and mystery TV series, called "The Hidden Corner", and the other is a sitcom called "Wulin Wai Zhuan"."

After announcing all the plans for Huayue Entertainment next year, Sister Shan looked at the company's shareholders, and the shareholders all expressed their approval of Sister Shan's plans.

Luo Ming, who was watching the show from a female role, thought to himself, "Sister Shan has now completely taken control of Huayue Entertainment! Not a single shareholder of the company raised any objections to such an important decision. That's incredible."

After the meeting, Sister Shan came to Lin Shuwen's office.

"Wenwen, why didn't you say a word today? Are you not feeling well?" Sister Shan asked.

"No, I just don't think it's necessary to ask. Sister Shan can handle it yourself."

After Sister Shan confirmed that Lin Shuwen was fine, she changed the subject and asked, "Wenwen, is Zhuoguang Entertainment going to promote "The Richest Man in Xihong City" during the Spring Festival this year?"

"Yes, Zhuoguang Entertainment has already started to invest in promotional resources recently. Last year's "Charlotte's Troubles" achieved very impressive results. "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was filmed by the original crew of "Charlotte's Troubles", so the results should not be bad either."

The reason why Sister Shan asked about "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is because the first trailer of this movie looks very interesting.

A down-and-out middle-aged man suddenly becomes rich. To be honest, she has not seen many movies of this type, but she feels that this movie can touch the hearts of most audiences and make them laugh.

A loser suddenly becomes a tycoon and receives a huge inheritance, which is a standard plot of a cool novel. Coupled with the various anti-routines in the trailer, which makes Wang Duoyu spend more and more money, this sense of contrast is really interesting.

"Wenwen, what is your company's estimated box office revenue for this movie?" Sister Shan asked with interest.

"25 billion." Luo Ming replied.

"25 billion? So confident!"

“That’s how confident I am.”

In Luo Ming's opinion, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is the pinnacle of Happy Twist's comedy art, and it should not be a problem for this movie to take in 25 billion at the box office.

However, when talking about "The Richest Man in Xihong City", we have to mention that this movie almost failed to pass the review.

The "Richest Man in Xihong City" in this world is somewhat different from that on Earth.

Luo Ming added some deleted scenes that were highly praised by netizens in his previous life into the movie.

The auditing in this world is relatively loose, and coupled with the fact that the corporate image of Zhuoguang Technology has been very good in the past two years, the higher-ups are willing to give it some face.

At the same time, Zhuoguang Technology happened to be talking about "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

When the weekly meeting was about to end, Zhuoguang Entertainment, which had little presence in the company, proposed to release "The Richest Man in Xihong City" during this year's Spring Festival.

Luo Ming and Rong Mu knew about this as early as half a month ago. Rong Mu even arranged the corresponding publicity work and started promoting it.

After learning that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" had passed the review, Chen Junmiao immediately contacted all major theaters to confirm the release time.

As for the major cinema chains, after the filming of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was completed, they were waiting for people from Zhuoguang Entertainment to contact them.

The main source of income for major cinema chains is box office revenue. Last year's movie "Charlotte's Troubles" had such a high box office, and this year's "The Richest Man in Xihong City" with the same crew will definitely not be bad either. Naturally, cinema chains don't want to miss out on such a profitable business, and they all want to worship Zhuoguang Entertainment as the God of Wealth.

Therefore, the communication process between Chen Junmiao and the theaters was very smooth, and all major theaters expressed that they would reserve more than 20% of their screenings for "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

In addition to theaters, audiences are also looking forward to the release of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" was officially announced to be released during the Spring Festival, and the news of the first trailer was released, which quickly became a hot search on major platforms.

After watching the first trailer of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the audience's first reaction was that this movie must be very funny. Just watching the trailer makes people want to laugh out loud.

In addition, netizens think that the title "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is the same as "Charlotte's Troubles", highlighting a weirdness. Isn't the name of the city a bit too casual?
What the hell is Xihong City? Is it a pun on tomato? Don’t you know that you will be fined for puns?
Amid the netizens’ complaints, a fan of “Charlotte’s Troubles” posted a screenshot.

After seeing the screenshots, the discussion online became even more lively, because from the screenshots, it can be seen that the name Xihong City has actually appeared in the movie "Charlotte's Troubles".

In "Charlotte's Troubles", when Ma Dongmei left because of Chen Kai's incident, she dragged a suitcase, and then a panoramic shot showed a sign with the three big characters "Xihong City" on it. Netizens who noticed it at the time only regarded it as a homophonic pun, and many netizens didn't even notice it.

Now after seeing this screenshot, netizens feel as if they have suddenly realized something.

The expectations for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" have become stronger. The reason is simple. The foreshadowing was laid in "Charlotte's Troubles", which means that the script has been ready for a long time, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the script.

In addition, many people think that since the location Xihong City appears in both movies, is there a possibility that the two movies will have some small connections?
It is quite normal for movies under the same world view to interact with each other. Not only can they attract each other, but they can also add some fun. Why not do it?

Of course, the premise of the linkage is that the quality of both films is good. "Charlotte's Troubles" is so successful, so the quality must be no problem.

If "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is terrible and is linked to "Charlotte's Troubles", then it's just trying to ride on the popularity.

Netizens are very double-standard. If the quality of the works is good, it is a linkage. If the quality of the works is poor, no matter how clever the linkage is, netizens will think it is very deliberate, as deliberate as advertising.

The topic of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has remained hotly discussed online, but this is a trivial matter for the top management of Zhuoguang Technology. Most people didn't even know what "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was before today.

Rong Mu would specifically mention this matter at the weekly meeting, just to inform the company's top management.

However, the company's top management obviously had no interest in discussing the affairs of Zhuoguang Entertainment. After Rong Mu said this, they just let it go.

After the weekly meeting, Lin Shuwen called Chen Junmiao to go to Luo Ming's office.

"Miaomiao, are there a lot of Douyin advertisements embedded in "The Richest Man in Xihong City"? " Lin Shuwen asked.

“There are indeed a lot of Tik Tok content, but it’s all in the form of soft advertising. Tik Tok was not mentioned at all throughout the film, so it won’t affect the content of the movie.”

"Is that so? That's good. I was worried that the company would add too many ads to the movie to promote TikTok, which would affect the quality of the film."

"Mr. Luo, don't worry! I will be in charge of the entire film process, and such low-level mistakes will not occur." Chen Junmiao said.

Lin Shuwen nodded and asked about the invitation to this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Probably because the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala were purchased by Zhuoguang Technology, three artists from Zhuoguang Entertainment received invitations to the Spring Festival Gala this year.

Wen Wan participated in the first chorus program, while Zhang Songzhi and Sun Ling had a solo stage.

The song they were going to sing was a very famous festive song in the world, and its status was equivalent to "Good Luck Comes" in the previous life.

"Knock knock~Mr. Luo, Mr. Rong asked me to bring you a document." The voice of Rong Mu's secretary Song Yue sounded at the door.

"come in!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yue pushed the door open and walked in, then respectfully handed a folder to Lin Shuwen, who was in the men's room, with both hands.

"Boss Luo, this folder contains our company's 2015 financial report. Please remember to read it."

Lin Shuwen, who was obsessed with money, brightened up and immediately opened the financial report.

"Hiss~Did the company make so much money this year?"

Lin Shuwen was shocked by the numbers on the financial report sent by Song Yue.

According to this report, the total revenue of Zhuoguang Technology last year was 518.08 billion.

The revenue of Zhanguang Games is still the highest among all departments of the company, at 202.88 billion yuan, accounting for about 40% of the company's revenue.

Toutiao's revenue was 157.25 billion yuan, Neihan Duanzi's revenue was 117.56 billion yuan, and Zhuoguang Entertainment's revenue was 24.68 billion yuan. Other miscellaneous revenues, including sweeping robots, deployment packages, and sales of facial recognition algorithm patents, were 15.71 billion yuan.

The next thing is expenditure. The largest expenditure is the equipment upgrade and feeding of large AI models, with a total investment of 151.07 billion yuan.

Douyin's large-scale promotional investment includes the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala, as well as the investment in Spring Festival Gala activities, totaling 30.3 billion.

The remaining various technologies, game R&D investment, employee salaries, construction of the company's new headquarters in Shanghai, and other miscellaneous expenses, plus various operating costs and various investments, totaled 109.87 billion yuan.

Excluding expenses, the company's net profit last year was 226.84 billion yuan, with a profit margin of 43.7%.

"What was our company's net profit last year?" Lin Shuwen asked.

"44.1%." Song Yue replied.

"Not much has been lost?" Lin Shuwen said in surprise.
