Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 533 The Principal is a Good Person

"Big Hero 5.81", which has been released for six weeks, has also come to an end, with a total international box office of million US dollars.

The box office in many parts of the world has been sluggish, and most of the films have been taken off the screen. The only region still showing them is North America.

However, the daily box office in North America is not high, only a few hundred thousand dollars a day, and it is getting less and less every day.

Whether it can break 600 million US dollars depends on the Chinese market.

“#Big Hero 5.8#’s global cumulative box office has officially exceeded 2014 million US dollars, becoming the number one box office animated film released in 12! To celebrate, why not go to the theater to watch #Baymax# on December 8th!”

This Weibo post was accompanied by three pictures, all of which were renderings of Dabai with various cute expressions. The registered social account was: Yutu Movie.

From now on, this ID will be used as a platform for film and television publicity and statement release.

If there is anything to be announced, use this account instead of the leader coming out to talk about something. As long as it represents Jade Rabbit, it will be fine.

There is also such an account on other platforms, including Toutiao, Bilibili, Tieba, etc.

Accounts on other platforms may not be taken seriously, as there are traffic limits and so on, but it doesn’t matter, as Big Hero 6 is already very popular, and has many fans paying attention to it.

It quickly broke through the one million follower mark and received many comments.

"I went to the cinema in Hong Kong to watch Baymax, and I was the only one who cried!"

"Damn it, please hurry up and release it! I'm itching to watch it."

“Yeah, it’s only a few days away from being released!”

"I just want to ask where I can buy genuine peripherals!"

"Hahaha, what a sexy big ass!"

“#Big Hero 6# movie tickets are free, follow and repost the top Weibo to participate, let’s go see Baymax together!”

This last message was sent by Tu Piaopiao to attract traffic.

There are also many pirated copies of the Big White Doll in China, but we can’t do anything about it. We don’t have the ability or the energy to do so.

They are all produced in small workshops and there is no way to control them.

The only company in China that can do a decent job in the surrounding areas is Alibaba, as they have an e-commerce platform that can carry out monitoring.

Like everything else, unless the government takes action.

On December 12, the domestic box office of "Big Hero 8" was 5238 million on its first day, which was about 40% more than its previous release.

This is normal. The release schedule is different, the promoters and distributors are different, and the scale of publicity is also different. Mainstream media and official media are also helping with the promotion.

And since it is a domestic animation, it is not surprising that it has such results.

There wasn't any strong competition when it was released, there was only one movie called "The Case of Huang Kegong", which no one had ever heard of.

In the current film and television industry, basically no one is willing to confront the principal head-on. If you want to confront him head-on, you must first consider your own strength and your wallet.

If you don’t have the ability to destroy Yutu, just keep quiet and wait for big capital to enter the market.

Everyone has a lot of money, and always looking for the principal is just asking for trouble.

The only big production, "The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy", will be released at the end of this month. Other famous movies like "The Man from Macau 2" and "Dragon Blade" will be released during the Spring Festival.

I went there in mid-February during the Chinese New Year this year, which was still quite early.

"Big Hero 6177" saw an increase in box office revenue on the second day, reaching million.

Avalanche on the third day, 2294 million.

It seems that Chinese people are not that interested in animated films, and only a small number of people are interested.

On the same day, the global box office of "Big Hero 42" just exceeded million US dollars, which is equivalent to billion RMB, which is an unprecedented achievement.

First, "Yutu Films" released this good news on Weibo: "Thank you for the support and companionship of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. We move forward with sincerity and thank you for your companionship along the way."

Below this caption is a poster with a picture of the cute “Dabai” bending over, with big artistic fonts next to it: Thank you!

It says below that the global real-time box office is 42 billion!
Such a caption coupled with such a picture was immediately reposted across the Internet, and was also hyped up by self-media and mainstream media.

"The strongest Chinese animation, with a global box office of over 42 billion!"

“Who says Chinese animation movies can’t compete with Hollywood? This is the best era for Chinese animation.”

"Big Hero 6" gave Chinese comics hope for a rise."

Such clickbait headlines are everywhere.

The huge success of "Big Hero 6" has made major film and television companies jealous and sigh, but there is nothing they can do about it, as Yutu should make money.

At the same time, capital has flocked to invest in major comic companies, as they also want to replicate the principal's success and make their own animated films a big hit internationally.

It can be said that Fang Hong changed some processes. In the past, capital poured into animation after "The Return of the Great Sage".

Tencent is the most active in this regard, constantly contacting animation production companies such as Yihua Kaitian, Yuanli Digital, and Xuanji Technology, hoping to make investments.

Tencent only has this trick, nothing else!
This phenomenon is very normal. Chinese people will flock to anything that can make money, regardless of the difficulties and troubles involved.

If Fang Hong was not a prophet, he would have no chance of achieving international success in animated films.

Of course they don't understand the hidden story behind this.

Universal also issued a battle report internationally, which was the same as the one issued by Fang Hong, except that a few words in English were changed, namely: global real-time box office of 6 million US dollars.

6 million is not a very shocking number, but it doesn’t matter, as long as we make money.

The construction of the New Town Yutu Film and Television Base in HR District has been completed, and the office buildings have also been renovated.

I also let it dry in the sun for a month or two to let it breathe!

In other words, the Yutu Film and Television Base, which has been under construction for more than a year and nearly two years, has basically been completed.

Fang Hong held a meeting with Yutu executives. The main purpose of this meeting was to plan the relocation of the company, including the film and television production department, special effects company, animation company, finance department, literary association, public relations and artist department.

All employees moved out of the existing office and moved to the new office location.

The company was required to complete the move within one month and to have full use of the new office environment before the Spring Festival of 2015. This year's annual meeting will be held there.

The relocation of the entire company this time is a huge project. A lot of office equipment, office stationery, filming equipment, etc. need to be moved to the new film and television base.

After all, the company was established five years ago, so it had a lot of material accumulation. As soon as the news came out, the entire company staff began to discuss it. Some people didn't care, some were looking forward to it, some were worried, and some were anxious.

"I just bought a house in the city, so it's too far to move to Huairou New Town."

"That's right. I just got married and I have to go to such a far place, separated from my husband."

"I heard there's not even a bus stop there. It's very inconvenient to go back and forth."

Those who are worried are those who have families, have just bought a house, or have a long commute.

There are also people who think moving is too troublesome and don’t want to go that far.

This is normal. It is nearly 70 or 80 kilometers from Huairou to here, and it takes more than an hour to drive. Who has the time for that?

In an office of an animation company, several young production staff were discussing something when a colleague from the Human Resources Department walked in.

When they saw the person coming, they immediately shut up.

That being said, if I really want to quit my job, I'm still afraid. Where can I find such a job?

The HR department held a thick document in their hands and said to everyone:
"Mr. Fang said that, except for those who need to shoot movies and TV series, all other staff will implement an eight-hour five-day work system, no more than eight hours a day, no more than 44 hours a week, no overtime, and no reduction in salary and benefits. Yutu must strictly abide by the labor law."

After hearing this, everyone present looked surprised, because they had to work overtime before.

Especially in the special effects and animation departments, since they have to sit in front of the computer, the workload is 12 hours a day. Sometimes they get so busy that they even work all night long.

There is no other way, they need to do special effects and graphics.

It’s the same for other post-editing and post-production work, and we often have to work overtime.

“Also, considering the difficulties faced by some people and the inconvenience of commuting due to long distances, Mr. Fang also conveyed his opinions.

The company will arrange a dormitory for each person. The dormitory standards are determined by different positions, technical importance, and family situations. Here is a form. Please fill in your name, address, and family situation, and we will allocate it as appropriate. "

Human Resources gave a form to the person in front, and the staff in front passed it to their colleagues in the back, as there were many people.

If there are more family members, they will be given a larger room, and if there are fewer family members, they will be given a smaller room. However, this was not mentioned, so let them fill it out themselves first.

A man looked at the form and asked, "Is it one room per person?"

"Yes, they are just different in size. The smallest standard room is 20 square meters, which is enough for you," explained the HR department.

Hearing this, colleagues looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

“However, due to the current limited number of dormitories, we will first arrange them for those colleagues who have difficulty commuting. You have to understand this, and we will make arrangements for all of them later.” said the Human Resources Department.

That place is still under construction, and they are building dormitory buildings. Anyway, the place is big and the land was also bought by Yutu.

500 acres can accommodate 14 people in commercial housing, and that's if the environment is very good.

Fang Hong cleared out a large piece of land to build a dormitory building for them. It was not a casual thing. Building it did not cost money, but the later maintenance, water, electricity, food and accommodation and so on were expensive.

After all, the consumption of so many people is not a small number.

However, with Yutu's current strength, they don't need to worry about these things. "Big Hero 6" alone can support them for several years.

The per capita consumer expenditure in our country is only 2.4 yuan. Based on this data, even if Fang Hong supports 2.4 people, it will only be around million yuan a year.

And Yutu has less than 10,000 people, just a few thousand.

"I understand." A colleague was delighted and immediately filled out the form, clearing away the previous gloom.

Other colleagues also filled out the forms. This provided them with free accommodation and food, and part of the water and electricity expenses would have to be reimbursed, which saved them a lot of expenses.

The principal is a good person!
"What if I have my own house and don't want to live in the company dormitory?" asked a female colleague.

She is a family with a husband and children. It is not appropriate for them to move so far away and live in a dormitory with their whole family. Her husband also has a job, and it would be inconvenient for him to commute if they live there.

"It doesn't matter. The company will arrange bus drivers to pick you up in the morning and evening. The working hours are shorter now. This time is the commuting time and activity time reserved for you by President Fang." The human resources department just conveyed the message.

That’s what Fang Hong said at the meeting.

"Principal Nice." someone shouted.

Almost all the staff of Yutu Company knew about Fang Hong’s move through email or human resources.

Fixed working hours free up a lot of time for them; dormitory arrangements save them commuting time; and bus arrangements also save them from commuting worries.

It can be said that Fang Hong still cares a lot about his employees.

There is no other reason, it’s just that Yutu has passed the stage of struggle now, and can pass on the benefits to the employees below without being as nervous as before.

As long as we continue to develop in this way, the large amount of film and television copyrights in stock will be able to support many people.

Yutu has no institutional shareholders, only internal shareholders, so there is no need to distribute money to them. What is distributed now is just the little that slips through Fang Hong's fingers, which is not much.

Even a little bit of money that leaks from the fingers of celebrities can feed many people.

Now that movies, TV shows, variety shows and animations are all being revitalized, special effects may need to be developed. Technology, as such, needs to be continuously developed, but as long as there are orders, we can be self-sufficient.

"Go Go Squid!" in the Korean market once again set a box office record locally, with a box office of 1109 billion won, equivalent to about 5 million won.

Not only are there share sharings, there are also orders for special effects, and there are orders for TV series and online series.

Next, Fang Hong asked the Human Resources Department to re-define the wage standards. They could no longer follow the previous wage standards because the next few years would be the years with the fastest inflation and money would become less and less valuable.

It takes time to redefine wage standards and it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Anyway, Fang Hong’s original intention has not changed. He has always been doing this to make those who follow him rich.

Chen Zhixi sighed: "Before, I thought he was an evil capitalist, but now, he seems like a saint, giving his money to the poor."

You don't have to give so much, but you have to give so much.

"A principal like this is lovable, isn't he?" Meng Jun said.

"makes sense."

Chen Zhixi clearly remembered the principal's expression when she and he started a business together. He plagiarized and used other people's values ​​without any guilt.

Looking at the principal now, I feel that he has changed, but I also feel that he has not changed. It has always been like this.
