After the busy Spring Festival holiday, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Fang Yang convened a meeting of all the company's senior executives. The Lantern Festival was over, and it was time to get back to work. The year's plan starts in spring, so it was time to plan for the year.

After a year apart, the senior executives gathered again in the conference room. The outstanding achievements of the past year brought genuine smiles to their faces. Of course, the main reason was the generous bonuses. The high bonuses from top to bottom made the entire company's employees have a very comfortable New Year.

"Mr. Fang, the movie 'Ne Zha' has achieved remarkable box office results during the Spring Festival. In just half a month, the box office has reached 3 billion. By the end of the month, won't it break 6 billion?"

Fang Yang laughed and scolded Xie Bin, "How did you learn math? There were many people watching movies during the Spring Festival holiday. Now that the students have started school, how can you expect to repeat the previous success? I estimate that at most another billion or so will be a blessing."

Xie Bin didn't take it seriously. "That's fine too. Over four billion in box office revenue, and that's just domestically. If you add in international revenue, five or six billion shouldn't be a problem."

"The box office overseas is not expected to be very high. After all, it has strong Chinese elements, and only immigrants in Chinatown might go to see it, so don't have too high hopes."

Fang Yang retorted calmly, "The ethnic style is too strong. It would be extremely difficult to achieve good box office results in a foreign country. The reason for choosing to release it simultaneously internationally is that we're just trying our luck. We still need to make money domestically."

Zhong Zhifeng immediately confirmed Fang Yang's statement: "So far, the total box office in the international market is more than 300 million, which is very dismal. In the end, we will probably only get tens of millions."

Yang Huajin laughed and said, "Domestic box office is good, that's all that matters. President Fang also said that the international box office wouldn't be ideal, and the current situation just confirms what he said back then. As for the TV series 'Princess Pearl,' it has already reached an 18% rating in the past few days, and it should break 20% by the finale. It has given us unparalleled honor in the TV series field. I guess it will be hard to get such a high rating again. This TV series has elevated our company's reputation to a new level. Hehe, I bet those who thought it was too expensive back then are now regretting it so much they're about to break their legs."

The meeting room erupted in laughter when this TV series was mentioned. Back then, Fang Yang said he wouldn't sell it for less than ten million per episode, which made everyone a little uneasy. But unexpectedly, it unleashed such tremendous energy during the most competitive Spring Festival period. It's estimated that apart from the Spring Festival Gala that year, no other station could achieve such high ratings and such a viewing frenzy. Even if it's watched two or three times, it can still fetch astronomical prices, with many TV stations bidding against it.

Ma Wenhua said excitedly, "I have already received bids from more than a dozen TV stations wanting to buy out the broadcasting rights for the second and third episodes. I haven't made a decision yet. I estimate that there will be more bids in a few days. When we bid together, we can maximize the value of the episodes."

The crowd burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere became even more relaxed. This successful start was truly a pleasant surprise.

Fang Yang tapped the table. "Now let's talk about this year's plans. Lao Zhu, aren't you guys going to start making a big push this year? Tell me your plans."

Zhu Laosan chuckled, "March is the time for new singers to compete on the charts. To maximize the effect, we plan to launch one singer each month, participating with an album. This will maximize their popularity, using the songs on the charts as a selling point to attract public attention and increase album sales. Moreover, Mr. Fang, you have prepared tailor-made theme songs for each singer, and several veteran composers are also helping out. I believe these singers will definitely be able to break through and make a name for themselves."

"One person per month is indeed feasible. Even if a famous singer releases an album, it won't wipe out the whole group. Moreover, the market capacity is large enough that even if a famous singer is released, they can still stay on the new song chart. As for the hot song chart, it's not their main battlefield. I think this is good."

Zhu Laosan's strategy was unanimously approved, and Chen Chen also spoke up: "Our short video website achieved remarkable success before the Lunar New Year. We are currently working hard to develop a live streaming website, and we estimate that it should be able to enter the testing phase in May."

Fang Yang nodded. "We should be able to use the live streaming website in August. I'll use a concert to boost traffic, which will also be a good opportunity to advertise our live streaming website."

Zhong Zhifeng laughed and said, "I believe your first concert will be a global sensation. I won't say more, but I can absolutely guarantee hundreds of millions of downloads. After this battle, our live streaming website will definitely shine brightly."

The crowd burst into laughter again. With Fang Yang's first concert as a guest, even a pig could fly to the sky!

Zhou Kai, who rushed over, reported: "Our Seven Star Cinema should be able to be put into use in July, and at the latest by the end of July, all the equipment will be installed and will reach the international top level!"

Fang Yang nodded and smiled, "Developing a live streaming website is mainly to prepare for the future when our variety shows are not accepted by TV stations. In the future, we will definitely produce variety shows based on the separation of production and broadcasting. In order to be prepared, it is necessary to have our own live streaming channel. Once our variety shows can achieve a major impact, it will not be us going to TV stations, but TV stations coming to us, just like TV dramas now. Since TV dramas can be produced and broadcasted separately, I believe that variety shows can definitely achieve the same."
