Chapter 580 Chinese New Year, Xia Hua Film and Television

The day before the Chinese New Year, the production crew had a holiday. Zhou Xia didn't go home and flew directly to the imperial capital.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is scheduled to be released in the Spring Festival. As Zhou Xingxing's re-directed film ten years later, Xiahua Film and Television attaches great importance to this film. Naturally, Zhou Xia, the boss, will attend the premiere.

At the same time, "Lost in Thailand" hit theaters, and now a month has passed, with a box office of more than 17 billion. It has applied for a secret key to postpone the screening in order to continue to hit the box office of 18 billion.

As for Xiahua Film and Television, which has just been listed, its share price has risen steadily due to "Lost in Thailand" and "Journey to the West", from 36 yuan the day before New Year's Day to 58 yuan.

In 2012, Xiahua Film and Television had a total revenue of 104 billion, movie box office of more than 66 billion, accounting for 32 billion, TV drama production revenue of 26 billion, variety show revenue of 33 billion, and the rest from celebrity brokerage and other investment revenue.

At the time of listing, Xiahua Film and Television issued a total of 100 billion shares, with a market value of 364 billion. Now the valuation has risen to 58, and the market value has increased by more than half.

Compared with other domestic private film and television companies, the total box office of Huayi's films released in 2012 was 21.6 billion yuan, which will be one-third of that of Xiahua Film and Television.

Xiahua Film and Television released five movies in 2012, "Detective Chinatown", "Painted Skin 2", "BJ Meets Seattle", "Thailand", and "You at the Same Table" movie version, with a total box office of 66 billion. This is also because Ten days after the release of "Tai囧" in 2013, the rest of the box office was not included.

As for Optical Fiber Media and Huace Film and Television, the revenue is even lower.

In 2012, Optical Fiber Media's total operating income was 10.34 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48.13%, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 3.10 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 76.47%.

Huace achieved revenue of 2012 million yuan in 7.27, an increase of 80.33% year-on-year, and a net profit of 2.16 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.35%.

Xiahua Film and Television's revenue is high, and its year-on-year growth and net profit far exceed other companies in the industry.

After all, most of Xia Hua's film investments are small-budget, but none of them are big hits at the box office. As for the production of TV dramas, the investment is relatively large, and most of them are high-quality dramas, but Xia Hua's film and TV dramas have a good lineage and a good brand image , so the cost is recovered during the stage of investment and investment promotion, and other subsequent copyrights are net income.

After all, Zhou Xia entered the industry by filming and directing TV series. Xia Hua Film and Television produced, and invested in and participated in TV series, from "You at the Same Table", "Gongsuo Xinyu", "Snow Leopard", "Star You", "Scary Step By Step" " to "Gu Jian Qi Tan", the web drama "The Year in a Hurry", "The Princess" and so on are well-known and loved by most audiences.

As for variety shows, it can be seen from the total revenue that they have surpassed the revenue of film and television departments, and their ability to attract money is obviously stronger.

The more than a dozen variety shows produced by Xia Hua Variety Show have dominated the ratings lists of domestic David TVs for a long time, so much so that now David TVs are asking to cooperate with Xia Hua in order to ensure that these variety shows will continue to be broadcast on their own TV stations.

"The Voice of China", "Let's Run", "Where Are We Going Dad", "Dad Is Back", "The Most Powerful Brain", "Singer", "Extreme Challenge", "Comedian", "Tomorrow's Son" and other variety shows All the programs have great influence in the country, and have won the favor of countless audiences, as well as the favor of many well-known advertisers.

The variety shows produced by the TV station itself cannot be compared with Xia Hua's programs, the survival of the fittest, there is no way, they can only choose to cooperate with Xia Hua Film and Television.

Otherwise, if these mature variety shows are switched to another TV station, coupled with the network broadcasting channel, they will still be popular, and the merchants will follow them to other TV stations.

Some TV stations wanted to force Xia Hua to sell the copyright by relying on the big business to bully customers, but after knowing Xia Hua's background and strength, all of them had no such plan.

After all, with the convening of the [-]th National Congress of last year, the local and central government successfully completed the transition, and Zhou Yuan stepped up to a new level, and he could barely be regarded as a member of the party.

Not to mention Mr. Zhou's contribution to the domestic aerospace industry, and now students and disciples have become the chief designers of most projects.

In addition, Xia Hua's celebrity agency also has a high advertising revenue, but it is not so conspicuous because it cannot be compared with other departments of the company.

Among the nearly [-] artists under the banner, more than a dozen of them are popular Xiaohua and Xiaosheng, six directors under the banner have a box office of over one billion, and four new directors have a box office of over one hundred million.

These are the reasons why Xiahua Film and Television is favored by the circle.

Zhou Xia returned to Didu after two o'clock in the afternoon, and he hurriedly asked Li Jingwen to bring the "New Year's gift" he had prepared to Xiaohu, Tangtang, Yaya, Xiaoai and others.

This time before the Chinese New Year, the emperor did not go home. In addition to attending the premiere of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", more importantly, he participated in the annual meeting of Xiahua Film and Television.

After all, the company is newly listed and is now thriving. In order to create a corporate culture and make Xia Hua more famous, annual meetings like the flower art night are indeed a good way.

Xiahua has already absorbed a huge amount of capital after releasing certain shares after it went public. In the coming new year, it is bound to move towards rapid acquisitions and mergers to achieve step-by-step development.

In this way, other companies in the circle can be thrown away in one fell swoop. Zhou Xia has to participate in these plans, which is also one of the reasons why he came back.

The purpose of the company's listing is to become bigger and stronger. If the capital accumulation is sufficient, it will be in line with the purpose of listing if it can swallow the whale, the big fish eat the small fish, and become a giant in the industry.

Zhou Xia got off the plane and settled down. When he came to the company, he was about to check the preparations for all the activities and the company's recent situation. After sitting down for a few minutes, the office was knocked open. The little fox took Zhou Xia and asked Li Jingwen to send it. Presents come in.

"Shouldn't you be preparing for the premiere in the afternoon and the company's annual meeting in the evening?"

Zhou Xia put down the documents at hand, got up from the desk, and greeted him. He knew it well, and his attitude was very important at this time.

"Yeah, I was supposed to prepare for these things, but after receiving such a strange New Year's gift, I am very happy. When I know that everyone has one, do you think I am still in the mood to prepare for those things?"

The little fox looked at Zhou Xia mockingly, and stuffed the exquisite gift box into Zhou Xia's hand.

"The New Year's Eve is still not happy to receive gifts, I have no one to give gifts!" Zhou Xia pretended to be confused and deliberately misinterpreted the other party's meaning.

"Really, then I'll give you a New Year's gift too. My parents asked me to take my boyfriend home to have a look during the Chinese New Year. How about this gift?"

"Hehe, this gift is of course good! Xiaohu is finally going to introduce me to my family."

"Yeah, don't just say yes, then are you going to meet or not?"

"Meet me, this is a bit sudden, I need to build up my mind." Zhou Xia said wearily.

"Shameless!" Seeing that Zhou Xia didn't dare to agree, the little fox said mercilessly.

"Why do I need a face, you just have to have a face."

"Why are you still the same as before? Now you are worth tens of billions. Now that you are a big boss and a big director, you can't be a little bit straight!" The little fox had no choice but to say helplessly against Zhou Xia.

"You are not my employee or subordinate, why do you still put on a show when you talk to you, pay attention to your words and deeds, how tiring it is!" Zhou Xia pulled her to sit on the sofa next to her last issue, and said with a smile.

"Why am I not your employee and subordinate?" The little fox retorted, grasping the loopholes in Zhou Xia's words. She is Xia Hua's signed artist, so of course she is Zhou Xia's subordinate and employee!

"Really, this will be subordinates and employees again, don't you usually think of yourself as the boss's wife?" Zhou Xia asked with a smile.

"You——, then I have to be the only one, not one of them!" The little fox said angrily.
