Entertainment upstart

Chapter 132 Career Layout
After being ridiculed by the young lady for being so short of 'Deng Xian' from the Ximen official, Zhou Xia really felt that he couldn't go on without money and leisure like this.

From mid-July last year to the end of March this year, he earned more than 1000 million.

But how much money he made, he changed hands and invested it out.

In addition to investing in the production of two TV series, the studio supported employees, and about 700 million of them were spent on buying domain names.

Since November last year, Chen Guanlou has registered only six domain names according to Zhou Xia's instructions.

The rest of the domain names of well-known companies in later generations that Zhou Xia wanted were basically bought with a lot of money.

In 2009 and 2010, the golden age of registering and hoarding domain names has passed.

Combinations of numbers and letters, simple and memorable top-level domain names have long been occupied by big names in the domestic domain name industry.

Zhou Xia spent so much money, he only bought a dozen or so, and he spent 220 million to buy two domain names related to Weibo!

Several other important domain names, such as Jingdong, Didi, Toutiao, etc., were also bought for millions or hundreds of thousands, but the top-level domain names of Weixin, and others were bought for only about [-].

Although Zhou Xia spent a lot of money, it was worth the money. These domain names could all represent a billion-dollar unicorn enterprise in the future!

It's just that, if you have some money to invest in, you won't be able to recover the cost in a short time. Zhou Xia is still in a state of lack of funds.

In order to solve this problem, Zhou Xia no longer cared about face and started accepting endorsements.

Little Lucky gained a wave of popularity, and Zhou Xia's Weibo fans exceeded 200 million, leaving No. 2 someone with 70 followers!
The high popularity allowed Zhou Xia to gain the favor of some well-known brands, and some courageous merchants even spent millions or millions in endorsement fees.

How could Zhou Xia remain reserved.

China Computer invited Zhou Xia to speak for 300 million.

Of course Zhou Xia felt that Lenovo, Hongji, etc. were more aggressive, but they all invited Zhang Shaohan and Lin Junjie who were in a mess, and they didn't like him at all!
Zhou Xia has not endorsed a product yet, since Shenzhou is so sincere, he agreed.

However, because it was too out of character, Zhou Xia felt that he was at a disadvantage, so he asked Yang Tianzhen to continue negotiating with Shenzhou.

Either increase the endorsement fee; or exceed the scheduled sales of 200 million units, and pay him 5 yuan for each additional computer sold.

After thinking for a while, Shenzhou agreed to Zhou Xia's second condition.

Their sales last year just exceeded 150 million units. Although they didn’t earn much from each computer, they really exceeded 200 million units. They paid 5 yuan for each extra computer, and they still made some money.

Now that the endorsement started, Zhou Xia didn't care about the image, and took over the endorsement of the Ober Music mobile phone for another 300 million, which also reached a sharing agreement.

Zhou Xia's goal is to earn more endorsement fees, and he is optimistic about these products when he proposes a share, but these companies don't know much about them, and they basically choose a share agreement.

In this way, they have more room for manipulation, and the actual sales volume is not calculated by themselves.

After that, Zhou Xia took over the backgammon learning machine, Patriot mp4 and other two product endorsements, each with an endorsement fee of 150 million per year.

In just ten days or so, Zhou Xia signed endorsement contracts with these companies with the highest sincerity.

Making money is so easy, Zhou Xia never thought of it.

Thinking about it carefully, no one in China has mentioned the concept of Xiaoxianrou, so he should be regarded as the originator of Xiaoxianrou.

Rely on face and traffic to win endorsements and make money!

Of course, he, the originator of the mountain, still has talent and acting skills compared to the younger generations in the future.

With these few endorsement incomes, plus income from new book sales.

With more than 1000 million funds, Zhou Xia did not invest blindly this time, and decisively launched his money-raising plan.

He decided to set up an entertainment company, enter the field of web games, and develop krypton gold games to make money.

After all, he spent no less than 300 million yuan on various web games, mobile games, and online games in his previous life, and lost all his savings from being a child star for ten years on games.

It is relatively familiar with the game.

In this life, he simply snatched these games, leaving those game developers with nowhere to go!
Zhou Xia first asked his family to help establish Xiahua Investment Holdings in Shanghai, and then he established Xiahua Film and Television Media and Xiahua Entertainment Interactive in the imperial capital.

These three companies are all his personal companies at this stage. In the future, film and television and entertainment will definitely develop into joint-stock companies, giving shares to employees who contribute a lot, or accepting other studios to join, company investment and shares, etc.

Xiahua Holdings is his leather bag company, which is operating capital and investment, and does not need special attention.

The other two companies are doing specific business.

Zhou Xia asked Yang Tianzhen and Chen Guanlou to look for rental business premises, and asked Zhao Qiuda and Dai Ying to help him recruit people.

As for his studio, only him and Jin Yangyang will be left behind, and other artists in the studio will be transferred to Xia Hua Film and Television.

The copyright of his personal works will also be sold to Xia Hua Film and Television, so that Xia Hua Film and Television can use his works to raise funds for the project!

Zhou Xia is the boss of Xiahua Film and Television, Yang Tianzhen is the vice president, responsible for specific affairs, and other old employees arrange some things.

Film and television companies don't need to add too many people, just recruit finance and customer service.

Except for Zhou Xia and Chen Guanlou, everyone else in the entertainment company has to recruit again.

Zhou Xia plans to recruit two development teams, each developing a web game, competing with each other and growing each other.

One team developed the magic rpg page game "Divine Comedy"; the other developed the football management strategy page game "Best Team".

"Divine Comedy" is a game released by Seventh Avenue at the end of 2011, and it has not yet been approved for development.

This game is a game that Zhou Xia played in his spare time after he gave up being an actor and engaged in online literature copyright mining.

Less time investment, more money investment, spent tens of thousands.

The main reason is that I used to play domestic martial arts and strategy games, and I have long been tired of playing them.

Suddenly encountering such a western fantasy-themed game with QTE combat elements, he couldn't hold back and started playing again.

The monthly turnover of this game has exceeded 2 million soft sister coins.

Because of the subject matter, it has launched more than ten language versions overseas, and has made a lot of money in the European and American markets. It has also won the 2012 WGO Most Valuable Web Game Award and the 2012 Internet Expo China Best Game Award.

Because it is an original game ip, "Divine Comedy" has strong vitality and can be continuously developed in the future, which is why he chose this web game.

As for "The Best Team", it is a football game developed by Aoshitang in 2014.

In 2010, there was the World Cup in South Africa as a hot spot, and currently the only good soccer page game is "Fame".

Make another classic football strategy game, which is bound to become a hit.

Zhou Xia now has more than 1000 million funds, which is enough for him to recruit two medium-sized teams and complete these two games within a few months.

Zhou Xia was first responsible for recruiting two management talents, and asked Chen Guanlou to follow up.

The three of them are responsible for recruiting planners, numerical calculations, level design, program design, art design and other talents.

It took five days for Zhou Xia to write out all the materials related to the two games in his memory and organize them into a game plan.

Chen Guanlou and the two managers have also recruited two medium-sized teams.

Although labor costs are too expensive, everything is worthwhile if the development cycle can be greatly shortened.

After the development of these two games is completed in three to four months, leaving the elite backbone after the trial period can reduce labor costs.

Zhou Xia handed over the plan to the two team leaders, and let Chen Guanlou stare at him, but he just let it go.

The professionals of the two teams have the game creative plan, background information, and detailed settings given by him. The game team is mainly responsible for the numerical structure, level setting, art design, and continuous testing and inspection.

If he still can't get the game out, then he should be replaced!
The development cost of web games is relatively low, which is mainly due to the later operation model and the money spent on promotion.

More than 1000 million funds were deducted from the rental of business premises by two companies, the purchase of office supplies, and the placement of the company's main talents, which cost more than 200 million.

The remaining 1000 million is about 300 million to feed two game development teams for four months, plus water and electricity bills.

There are more than 400 million remaining, which are almost used for post-publicity, operation, and maintenance.

After Zhou Xia was busy with her work, she became a hands-off shopkeeper, still preparing for roles, and went to school normally.

Fast forward to mid-April.

Zhou Xia and Dou Xiao went to Qinglong Village in northern Hubei to join the group, and began to prepare for the filming of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".
