Chapter 248 Star Entertainment’s first investment

Before you know it, the time has come to February 2013, and there are only 9 days left before the Chinese New Year.

Xingyuan held its annual meeting on February 2nd.

Because of the move to the new headquarters this year, Luo Fan felt that it was necessary to give more benefits to Xingyuan employees, so this year’s year-end bonus was increased by 30%, and each employee’s annual leave was increased by 5 days.

This news was directly announced by Luo Fan at the beginning of the annual meeting, and the employees of Xingyuan immediately cheered.

The atmosphere of the annual meeting reached its climax.

Then there is the part where the staff perform the show.

Xingyuan’s executives also came to the stage. Qin Beibei settled the lawsuit and could go home for the Chinese New Year normally. He was in a good mood and sang a song on stage.

“Hold you in my hands and burn incense devoutly.”

“Tsk tsk! I didn’t see it, Sister Qin still has two more! This offering of love is better than the original singing.” Li Jingyi, who was sitting beside Luo Fan, said.

“It’s really good.” Luo Fan also expressed his affirmation.

“Sister Qin is so beautiful, has a good figure, and sings well. I don’t know which man will be cheaper in the future!”

“Good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a thousand. No matter how good Sister Qin is, you are not as interesting as you.”

After listening to Luo Fan’s words, Gao Meng, who was sitting behind the two, felt goose bumps on her arms.

After the performance session, it was the much-anticipated lottery event.

This time, Luo Fan prepared 1 house of 150 square meters, 10 houses of 50 square meters, 20 cars worth 200,000 yuan, and all the rest were rice mobile phones.

Except for Xingyuan’s executives, everyone else was drooling at these rewards.

After Luo Fan announced the start of the lottery, the employees took the stage one by one.

“Fuck! I hit it!” The seventh employee who came to power drew a car.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes became more eager, and they came to the stage one by one.

At present, Xingyuan has a total of 577 employees except security and cleaning, and it took half an hour for all of them to draw the prize.

Xingyuan’s executives, including the two heads of the legal department, Ying Qianlong and Jia Ting, did not go to the lottery.

In the end, the 150-square-meter house was selected by Zhou Yuqing’s subordinates from the Connotation Duanzi Department. According to Zhou Yuqing, this employee had been with her since 2009 and was an old employee of 56.com.

After winning the grand prize, the employee was crowded on the stage and sang a song “Song of a Hero” amid the roar of everyone.

After he finished singing, there was silence in the background.

After a while, someone said, “Good guy! Not a single word of a song is in tune, that’s enough!”

“Lao Liu, no wonder you didn’t sing when you went to ktv before!”

“Old Liu, I can only say thank you for your kindness of not killing.”

The atmosphere became lively again amid the ridicule of the crowd.

Luo Fan also drank a few glasses of wine.

At 12 o’clock in the evening, the annual meeting officially ended. Luo Fan’s driver drove Luo Fan and Li Jingyi home in a customized Rolls-Royce.

“This Rolls-Royce is really comfortable to sit on.” Luo Fan said with a smile while taking off his clothes after returning to his home.

“Tens of millions! Can you be uncomfortable?”

“It’s more than tens of millions. It was shipped by air, and it’s a custom bulletproof version. It cost almost 100 million to come down.”

Last year, after Luo Fan and Li Jingyi moved to the villa, he directly asked Gao Meng to order a bulletproof version of Rolls-Royce from Rolls-Royce, which never sets.

In fact, in terms of safety, the top Volvo is not much worse than Rolls-Royce, but one thing, Volvo will never be able to compare with Rolls-Royce or Bentley, and that is the possibility of avoiding accidents.

As long as you have a little research on the car, you will subconsciously stay away and slow down when you see the license plate of Rolls-Royce or Bentley while driving.

If such an expensive car touches a little, a house may be gone.

Just rush this, and the safety of Rolls-Royce owners will be greatly improved.

In fact, the probability of a vicious attack in Huaxia is very low, but unintentional accidents are more likely to occur. A super luxury car can avoid such a thing with a high probability.

As for whether it is bulletproof or not, it doesn’t really matter, but when Luo Fan read novels in his previous life, the cars of those gods were bulletproof, so he followed suit and got one.

This car was delivered the day before yesterday, and it took 8 months before and after. As Luo Fan just said, the cost of custom money + tariff + shipping is indeed close to 100 million.

The next day, Luo Fan came to the company, and Cao Shuai was already waiting for him in the office, not only Cao Shuai, but also Zhou Yuqing and Gao Meng.

It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and the company has nothing to do recently! Why are all three here?

With doubts, Luo Fan pushed open the door of the office and walked in.

“Boss, I found a very interesting script!” Luo Fan said as soon as Cao Shuai entered the door.

“Script? Mr. Cao, you called Mr. Gao and me over because of the script?” Zhou Yuqing asked helplessly when she heard the words.

“Yeah! I have a hunch that this script, as the first movie invested by our Star Entertainment Company, will definitely sell well.”

“What script? Show me!” Luo Fan said after sitting down.

When Cao Shuai heard this, he immediately took out three folders and handed them to Luo Fan, Gao Meng, and Zhou Yuqing.

Luo Fan took over the script and looked at the name on it, but he was all too familiar with it.

“Charlotte, worry? Is this a foreign film?” Gao Meng asked.

“No, this is a comedy, the story is relatively simple, but it’s very funny, you guys have a look first.” Cao Shuai greeted the three of them.

Luo Fan heard that and asked Su Qing to pour him a glass of water. Luo Fan can be said to be familiar with this movie.

Some of the lines and scenes in it can be said to be famous scenes.

Zhou Yuqing and Gao Meng had never heard of the script. The two read the script seriously. The content of the script is very simple.

The protagonist’s name is Charlotte, who lives in poverty and has a fiery wife, Ma Dongmei.

When attending the wedding of his former goddess Qiuya and a rich old man, Charlotte was drunk and made a scene at the wedding, which made Ma Dongmei angry at first, and made him a joke among a group of old classmates.

After venting, Charlotte fell on the toilet drunk and woke up to find that he was back in 1997.

At first Charlotte thought she was dreaming, first setting the classroom on fire and then jumping out of the window.

With this jump, he realized that everything was not a dream.

Then there is the familiar cultural and entertainment routine. Charlotte first picked up girls with a famous song in later generations, and won the heart of the goddess Qiuya.

Then, like a protagonist, he went to the Spring Festival Gala and became famous overnight.

And his wife Ma Dongmei was abandoned by Charlotte and finally left sadly.

A few years later, Charlotte became the most well-known entertainment celebrity in the country, appeared in Time magazine, became a national figure and a billionaire, but an accidental encounter with an old classmate made him know that Ma Dongmei had paid for him. your most precious thing.

At this moment, Charlotte suddenly repented and realized that Ma Dongmei was his true love.

So, Charlotte tried to get back the former wife who had married his good brother.

It’s just too late, because Charlotte is actually suffering from AIDS, and he considers himself a good brother, and also greens him, giving birth to our various famous memes.

In the end, Charlotte woke up from the toilet. Everything just now was a dream, but in the dream, Charlotte realized who was really good to him, and from then on, she and Ma Dongmei lived in a down-to-earth way.

The script is not long, only the outline of the story. It took Zhou Yuqing and Gao Meng about ten minutes to read it.

When Cao Shuai saw that they had finished reading, he hurriedly asked, “How do you feel?”

Zhou Yuqing thought for a while and said, “It’s very good. It is said that the core of comedy is tragedy. This film is also a comedy on the surface, but it is worth thinking about after watching it.”

“I also think it’s pretty good. In the past few years, the subject of transmigration has been very popular, and it is very exciting to go back to the past and reach the peak of life.

The year before last, two consecutive TV series “Palace” and “Jingxinxin” detonated the TV series crossing the stream.

Before that, there were also works like “Love Through Time and Space”.

Many of the ancient sayings I read in the novels are also transmigrated, and they have been popular for many, many years.

But it seems that there are not many movies of the time-travel genre, and this movie can be regarded as a hot spot. ”

“Yeah! Who doesn’t like transmigration and rebirth!” Luo Fan couldn’t help sighing.

“Boss, do you also support me in making this movie?” Cao Shuai asked.

Just as Luo Fan was about to nod, Zhou Yuqing on the side took the lead and said, “Boss, this script is really good and fits the current trend, but it’s not easy to shoot this style.

Who will act and how to shoot such absurd comedy movies is still very important. Our entertainment company has just started up, so I am afraid they don’t have the ability? ”

Luo Fan was stunned when he heard the words, and thought: “As expected of making videos before, I didn’t think of this.”

Then Luo Fan followed Zhou Yuqing’s words and said, “I think Mr. Zhou is right. Mr. Cao’s film is probably not easy to make!”

“I know it’s not easy to shoot, but boss, the casting of this movie has basically been decided. There are both directors and actors, so there is a shortage of funds.” Cao Shuai said.

“Really? Who will make this movie?”

“Do you know Happy Twist?” Cao Shuai asked.

Zhou Yuqing thought for a moment, then shook her head to indicate that she did not know.

Gao Meng didn’t know either.

Luo Fan didn’t say that he knew, after all, Happy Twist at this time was just a little-known small company, how could he know!

“Boss, they are a stage show company in the imperial capital, and this script was brought over by someone from their company.

In their team, I think it is very suitable to make this movie. One of them is called Shen Teng, who is the protagonist they ordered. After speaking, Cao Shuai took out Shen Teng’s photo. ”

Gao Meng glanced at it and smiled immediately.

“Mr. Gao, what are you laughing at?” Zhou Yuqing asked in a daze.

“Sister Zhou, don’t you think that this person is funny?”

“Have it?”

“Yes, I have!”

“I think he’s good too.” Luo Fan said with a smile.

Zhou Yuqing has some doubts about her life next time. Is there something wrong with her aesthetics? Both the boss and Mr. Gao laughed, why didn’t she laugh?

“Cough, let’s not talk about this actor, I think this movie can be made.

In the era of mobile Internet, a very important point in the confrontation between traffic is content.

At present, the formalization of copyright has begun. Whether it is game content, music content or video content, it is restricted by copyright law.

Now Penguin has begun to invest heavily in the entertainment industry, trying to monopolize content. Major companies have similar operations. We also buy animation copyrights at the beginning. This is also a behavior.

But in the future, I don’t plan to invest too much money in copyright, because the value of copyright has a limit, and now the crazy competition of various companies will make the copyright premium seriously.

The current video field is burning too much money. Xingyuan’s current core is not in the video field, and it is impossible to participate in the copyright acquisition war.

So I think we can make a few movies with good reputation first, create some excellent content by ourselves, and at the same time, we can cultivate a group of star teams of our own in Xingyuan Entertainment.

This “Charlotte Trouble” can be used as our test product. ”

After listening to Luo Fan’s words, Cao Shuai immediately said, “Don’t worry, boss, I will definitely follow up on this movie in person.”

“It doesn’t have to be so exaggerated. Don’t they have their own team? We just need to keep up with the investment and let them shoot.”

After listening to Luo Fan’s words, Cao Shuai smiled and said nothing.

As we all know, in several major industries in the entertainment industry, movies are the fastest to make money and the easiest to realize.

Especially some content-based daily movies, comedy movies.

They have low shooting cost and low risk, but once the explosion model is released, the income will be dozens of times the investment.

For example, “People Are On The Road”, “Thailand” and this “Charlotte Trouble” are all models of small and broad.

But this kind of small and broad is very difficult, but this does not seem to be a problem for Luo Fan.

As a rebirth, Luo Fan has heard the names of some well-known movies in later generations even if he has never seen them.

With this advantage, Xingyuan will soon be able to gain a firm foothold in the film field.

Take this “Charlotte Troubles” as an example. In Luo Fan’s impression, the movie “Charlotte Troubles” seemed to be broadcast in 2015, and the box office at that time was more than 1.5 billion.

Although it is two years earlier, with Xingyuan’s traffic support, the box office should be about the same.

With a box office of about 1.5 billion, Xingyuan has its own theater chain. As for the release of this Xingyuan, it can also establish a distribution company if necessary in the follow-up.

In short, after deducting all kinds of messy channels, it should be no problem to have 500 to 600 million.

And the movie will have long-lasting rewards.

This comedy movie will still have a great influence in later generations. With the help of it, Xiaopozhan and Conan Duanzi should also be able to gain some traffic.

At the same time, Xingyuan can also take the opportunity to reach a more in-depth cooperation with Happy Twist, or directly invest in shares, turning Happy Twist into a subsidiary of Xingyuan.

After the success of this film, Xingyuan Entertainment can also use this to form its own team of artists, directors, and screenwriters, and then shoot new movies, provide more high-quality content for Xiaopozhan and Neihan Duanzi, and support Xiaopozhan and Neihan Duanzi Leading in content.
