After I finished writing the script, the entire spring had passed.
DreamWorks' Q1 financial report is still very impressive. In terms of big numbers, it achieved total revenue of 3.9 billion, expenditure of 1.8 billion, and net profit attributable to the parent company of 2.1 billion.
Among all the revenue, DreamWorks Cinemas' box office revenue reached 1.4 billion, accounting for one-third of the total revenue.
In terms of film revenue, the two films "Crazy Stone" and "Wolf Warrior" also contributed 1.7 billion, nearly one-half.
In terms of distribution income, a large number of films were signed after the film festival, and the company’s distribution team has been established long ago. Currently, the income accounts for about 5%.
The other percentage points come from other businesses.
TV series, online variety shows, music copyrights, website playback revenue of previous movies, overseas copyrights, physical discs, peripheral derivatives... and so on.
Compared with other companies' copyright libraries accumulated over the years, DreamWorks is still a long way behind, but the advantage is that each of its films is a masterpiece, and there is a steady stream of subsequent income.
This is the advantage of entertainment works.
The long tail effect allows special commodities like movies to be produced once and sold for a lifetime.
Moreover, judging from the data trend, the more films a director makes, the later films will drive the sales of the earlier films.
…
As for expenses, most of them are necessary operating expenses, such as filming costs, location, and labor...
The largest expense item is employee salaries.
This is what should be expected.
After all, the entertainment industry is a brain-intensive industry.
It is no exaggeration to say that the average salary of DreamWorks' team is already at the industry-leading level. There are more than 30 executives with annual salaries exceeding one million.
The salary level of ordinary employees is at least 30% higher than that of their peers.
In this regard, Lu Hao has always been very generous.
As long as the work is done well, I will never be stingy with the money.
Many of the first employees who joined DreamWorks also took advantage of the company's rapid development and became experts in the business.
The most typical example is Wang Hui.
She is currently the executive director of DreamWorks, responsible for the performance appraisal, salary assessment, performance rewards, employee benefits and other matters of everyone in the company. She is basically the company's housekeeper and is no longer the image of a rookie in the workplace two years ago.
The salary has already exceeded one million.
She bought a car and a house, and wore all branded clothes, looking like the queen of Prada.
As for the rest.
Lu Hao remembered a few people. There used to be a young girl at the front desk who was smart and studious. Now she is a supervisor in the artist management department and has been able to work independently.
This shows Lu Hao's foresight when he was recruiting people.
At that time, the salary for recruiting receptionists was 8,000 yuan. With the high salary and high-intensity work, except for those who left or were fired, those who stayed all achieved tremendous growth.
…
The first film in the Aura Resurrection series has its script already written and is ready for filming.
Before filming began, Lu Hao returned to the company and held a meeting.
Except for Ma Chaoyue who was far away in India and did not have time to come back for a video conference, almost all the leaders above the middle level were present.
The conference room, which can accommodate more than a hundred people, was packed.
Many employees were whispering and discussing in low voices.
Lu Hao hasn't had such a big event for a long time.
How big of a deal is it?
Do I have to call so many people back?
Even Chu Wen didn't know what kind of wine Lu Hao was selling in this pot, and he didn't tell her anything.
Even if it's a new movie, it shouldn't be such a big deal, right?
In the conference room.
Lu Hao sat in the main seat, picked up the water cup with a smile and took a sip of water, then looked at everyone present very kindly.
His still young face actually already had some angles, and he looked so high-spirited that people completely ignored the fact that he was only a young man in his twenties.
If I were studying normally, I would only be in my senior year and wouldn't graduate yet.
"I haven't been to the company for a while because I was working on a new script and was in seclusion. Now that the script is finally finished, I gathered everyone together to meet and talk about a small matter."
When everyone was present, Lu Hao spoke slowly, his tone soothing as if he was chatting about family matters.
But the crowd just stared with wide eyes and listened attentively.
Those who can reach the middle-level leadership of the company are not fools.
By the way?
A small thing?
Perhaps this little thing is the real point?
The leader's art of speaking has always been so simple and unpretentious.
"Two years ago, I founded DreamWorks from scratch. In just two years, we've grown to this point. We have a large group of veterans who pioneered the company, as well as new recruits who joined as the company grew. There have been collaborations, frictions, intrigues, and even scapegoating..."
"This is normal, I understand."
Lu Hao's plain words made many people in the audience a little nervous.
Damn?
Are you going to cause trouble?
There are very few big bosses at the company owner level who would put such things on the table openly.
Unspoken rules are unspoken rules.
What's the point of saying it out loud?
"I understand and I can accept it. After all, when a company reaches a certain size, internal friction is inevitable. Even the most perfect system cannot completely restrain human nature, nor is there any need to do so."
