New Age Artists

Chapter 211: Inventory of 05: Terrifying Wealth (33)

The movie audiences of this era are so miserable!
Shen Santong read a wave of comments.

"Seven Swords", "The Promise" and "A Chinese Odyssey" are all bad in their own ways, no need to say more.

As an art film, "A Solo Journey of Thousand Miles" was praised by the media.

It is said to be Zhang Yimou's comeback work.

This film reaches the heights previously achieved by Zhang Yimou's art films.

However, normal audiences complained that the film over-beautified the script and portrayed the Chinese as stupid.

Some netizens who came from rural areas also expressed this.

The countryside is not like this, at least not exactly as Zhang Yimou portrayed it.

He only captured the ignorant side.

The audience's eyes are discerning.

Especially movie audiences, who have a certain aesthetic taste.

Of course there are biases, but the normal ones account for the majority.

Dongtian.com is a website used by normal people, and it has a very good atmosphere.

Shen Santong thought about it and arranged to upload "Lost Town" to his online video platform for free.

"Lost Town" received a very good response after it was broadcast.

It was sold to a movie channel a few months ago for almost a bargain price.

When Shen Santong was editing the film in post-production, he did not go for a comedy route, but changed it to a suspenseful one.

This proves that avant-garde films, which try to play with some mysterious things, are not bad to watch as long as they are well made.

The reason why the movie is ugly is because of the director's skills, not the subject matter.

Shen Santong said nothing, just did it.

Low-key way to win the audience's favor.

Before the Spring Festival.

Shen Santong devoted himself to the inventory of 05 and used this opportunity to make adjustments to the company's framework.

This has been done gradually over the past few months, and now it is just a matter of normalizing it.

Santong Entertainment Group is developing towards a collectivized direction.

Shen Santong did not go to the Cayman Islands to register. After being reborn in the future, he knew very well that it was all an illusion.

Companies without the backing of a state entity are nothing more than fat pigs.

The only difference is the Thanksgiving turkey, the New Year pig, and the piggy bank.

What has lost its legal status in its motherland is the Thanksgiving turkey.

I'm in the United States, just got off the plane.

It’s door-to-door delivery and ready to kill.

Those who have problems with primitive accumulation but retain a certain legal status are considered Year Pigs.

They will not be killed for the time being, but they will still have to be killed during the New Year holidays.

It has a legal identity, some problems with original accumulation but they are not serious, and it has certain personal connections, but it has no physical endorsement and is like a piggy bank.

You can go for several years or even decades without killing them, but when you need them, you will destroy them.

Including the one in Li’s city, he is a piggy bank.

The London masters have begun to spend money and eat meat and drink blood.

It’s just that the jar hasn’t been smashed yet, so it’s not as bloody as eating someone alive.

But given Britain's poor economy, it is certainly not far from being devoured alive.

The only suspense is whether it was before or after Li Jiacheng's death.

If you eat it alive before it dies, it will definitely be a joy.

Shen Santong chose to pay taxes honestly.

It may seem like a disadvantage, but in the long run it is the best way to go.

Santong Entertainment has four major divisions.

Movies, music, games, Dongtian.com.

In addition to the "Four Heavenly Kings", there are other "little devils".

Deep Sea Culture is responsible for artist management.

Shen Santong's personal studio.

Digital technology of Chinese painting movies.

Small-budget vanguard movies, etc.

The number of regular employees has reached more than 80, most of whom were born in the s.

Shen Santong wants to optimize and adjust the company's framework. This is real optimization and adjustment, not "blessing" or "graduation".

There are mainly two points.

The First Financial System is managed vertically by the parent company.

Compared with the previous blocks, it has become strips.

He applied historical wisdom to the company and built the financial system into a "historian" independent of the branches.

In terms of performance appraisal, quarterly bonuses and year-end bonuses, the interests are highly consistent with those of the parent company.

They exist to keep accounts.

Accept dual leadership.

Normally, when the branch company’s leaders manage the branch and the parent company conducts inventory checks, the branch company’s accounts must be clearly displayed.

The second is the employee email address.

All employees can report any problems that exist in the company, ranging from trivial matters to major illegal and criminal incidents.

This office is directly connected to Shen Santong, abbreviated as Shenban.

It is handled by another team isolated from the assistant team, and he is in charge of it personally.

For employee mailboxes, Shen Santong generally only handles two types of issues.

The first category is serious offenses that involve criminal law, and he will immediately transfer them to the relevant departments.

The other is the little things, all kinds of trivial things.

As for business kickbacks, travel reimbursements and other issues, no matter how big or small, he would turn a blind eye.

These two adjustments were implemented for a few months, and Shen Santong felt good about it, as he recovered tens of millions.

The adjustment of the financial system resulted in many problems during implementation.

The interests of the branch's senior management were harmed, and the company's senior management used both soft and hard methods to confront them.

But because Shen Santong firmly controls financial power, he values ​​it more than personnel power.

In addition, the company's profit distribution has always been tilted towards the business end and towards the middle and lower levels.

And with the employee email addresses, he had a lot of information to cross-check.

One third of the senior executives were fired in a swift and decisive manner.

When a senior management position becomes vacant, promote middle-level managers.

There is a lot of vacant space in the middle level, so people from the bottom level can move up.

After some adjustments, the company became more dynamic.

Shen Santong made organizational adjustments to achieve two goals.

the first.

He is only responsible for the company's overall strategy. After he points out the direction, each branch can respond quickly and move forward in the direction he specifies.

second.

In this process, the company will not escape his control and no independent kingdom will emerge.

He needs to know the situation of the branch.

Shen Santong reorganized the company and everything went smoothly.

He built the company himself and the shares are very simple.

After the adjustment, Shen Santong has a firm grasp of the company and is able to understand all matters of the company, big and small. There are ledgers for major matters and employee email addresses for minor matters.

As long as Shen Santong doesn't do anything stupid, the company will definitely survive longer than him. Before the Spring Festival.

With the completion of the company's structural adjustment, the inventory of various businesses in 05 has also been roughly completed.

Shen Santong was shocked. She had developed so well.

Movie business.

Locomotive released two movies in 05, "Supermarket" and "Happy Birthday".

"Happy Birthday" was completely removed from the screen on October 10, after being shown for more than two and a half months.

Later, due to black public relations, it became a small hit again, reaching a box office of 450 million.

Shen Santong was also surprised by this box office result before. After all, it was in 05 and it was too exaggerated.

However, after being baptized by "Seven Swords", "The Promise" and "A Chinese Odyssey".

I feel the box office is a bit low.

Currently, among the movies in theaters, those that tell good stories are often feature films and mission films.

For experienced directors, they may come to shoot with administrative tasks, and entertainment is not the first consideration.

Commercial films such as "A Chinese Odyssey", "Seven Swords", "The Promise", or "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero" are of the highest level at the moment.

A commercial film of the highest level that can't even tell a good story.

Shen Santong's films are above average and unique in this era.

This box office is not much.

In later generations, it would not be difficult to make tens of billions.

"Supermarket" had a box office of 150 million, and "Happy Birthday" had a box office of 450 million.

The supermarket’s box office share was 46 million.

The copyright income and patch advertising are close to 20 million.

In the box office share of "Happy Birthday", the producer's share was one percentage point higher than that of the supermarket, at 42%.

After deducting the special funds for the film industry, business tax, and distribution costs, the revenue was more than 144 million.

The copyright income, inserted advertisements and patch advertisements of Shengkuai far exceed those of supermarkets, and the box office has also reached a certain level in the Chinese community in Southeast Asia.

The total amount reached 67 million.

The total revenue of the two films is 277 million.

Music.

It reaped the benefits of the era of rapid expansion of ringback tone business, and has the highest revenue among all businesses.

Shen Santong's personal aspect.

The ringtones of songs such as "Dimple", "Thousand Miles Away", "The Way of Justice", "My Sky", "Ordinary Road", "What Can I Use to Keep You", "Don't Bite Me", "Until Complete Victory", and "Red High Heels" have been downloaded more than 320 million times in total.

The ringtone and song copyrights brought Shen Santong’s personal and company agency income of more than 270 million yuan.

In addition, there are unexpected surprises.

Happy birthday ringtone.

There are two of them, "Today is your birthday, answer the phone quickly."

There is also a DJ interlude performed by the heroine at the party.

These two song clips became popular along with Birthday, and the number of ringtone downloads has exceeded 100 million.

It brought him and his company 120 million in related profits.

The company's music business.

Music companies' revenue, ringtones, singer operations, song copyright authorization, and helping singers fight infringement lawsuits.
Excluding Shen Santong's personal data, the revenue in 05 reached million.

Deduct singer’s share, operating costs, employee dividends, fixed investment in music platform equipment, etc.

The profit attributable to the parent company was RMB 260 million.

Nearly 100 million out of the 260 million is included in the group company's year-end bonus pool.

The prize pool rules are becoming more and more complicated.

There are individual and team awards.

There are also business awards designed to develop business, and team awards for the entire team.

There are monthly bonuses, quarterly bonuses and year-end bonuses calculated based on time.

The branch company has a small year-end bonus pool and the parent company has a big year-end bonus pool.

The parent company's prize pool is open to all members of the group, including music development, cooperation from other companies, including Shen Santong's movies and personal brand support.

It certainly cannot be divided entirely among the music branch, as the income disparity between companies within the group would be too great.

If things continue like this, the music branch will become more and more independent, and other companies will try to transfer to the profitable branch. No one will be willing to open up new business, do the dirty work, and take on the tough tasks.

The prize pool design has a secondary distribution function to carry out transfer payments between companies.

Gaming aspect.

The web game "Emperor Qianyuan" will be launched in November.

The online game is still under development.

The monthly turnover reached 10 million in December and is still rising steadily.

This business has great potential and is still being developed.

Dongtian.com.

The online business is still making losses, but Shen Santong is very satisfied.

He values ​​industry influence more.

Especially during this Lunar New Year period, the power of Dongtian.com's evaluation system began to show.

In the future, all major film producers will definitely have to pay a public relations fee.

Other advertising revenues are not very high.

Shen Santong is very cautious about advertising and doesn't want to make a mess.

He sees Dongtian.com more as a soft support for his film industry, and he cherishes it so much that he has a bit of moral obsession.

Some employees complained that Shen Santong saw the small report in the mailbox, no, it was the employee's mailbox.

The offline coffee shop business is very popular.

Shen Santong himself couldn't understand why some people were willing to drive two or three hours just to buy a few cups of Grinding Time coffee.

It may be due to the activation of website users, or it may be that some celebrities like to go there.

In short, in December, Dongtian.com began to turn losses into profits.

Of course, looking at the whole year, the loss was more than 40 million.

In other small fields, there is basically no profit, except for artist management, which makes a small profit.

The bulk of the revenue is used to purchase vehicles and various fixed assets.

In addition to previous business, Shen Santong also has additional income.

Two golden pigs.

Wang Jinghua gave it as a gift, one hundred kilograms, and cost seven or eight million.

Shen Santong helped her, and she gave him two golden pigs in return. She was very open and honest in her actions.

There is also the publication of "Emperor Qianyuan".

After deducting various costs and reinvesting, the cash, accounts receivable, etc. available to Shen Santong personally and the parent company, which can be regarded as cash flow funds, is more than 500 million.

After settling the bill, Shen Santong was amazed.

With 500 million in cash flow, if you are more aggressive, you can leverage billions of funds.

After sorting out the company's business, Shen Santong needs to determine the direction for future strategic development.

Should we continue to expand or deepen our current business?

I won’t go into detail about the company’s operations, as they are mainly entertainment-related.

I won’t go into details about personal income and company profits. It’s enough for everyone to know that there is a distinction between public accounts and personal accounts.

The film producers and cinema chains have a share of the profits. The main songs were first given to other SP agents, and later they were represented by themselves. In September 05, due to the chaos of SPs, the government began to regulate them.

I won’t go into detail about the details because there are too many to list.

I won't be the richest man, it's too fake. I don't have the energy. I made this structural adjustment just to save trouble in the future. When filming, everyone knows that they just need to keep a firm grip on the company.
