Yan Zi accidentally discovered that when everyone was applauding, there was one person who did not applaud, so she looked over. After finding out that it was Xue Congfu, she did not mean to target him, but combined with what she said, it gave everyone an illusion.
This new young CEO is difficult to deal with.
Yan Zi had no idea what these people were thinking, so she continued to follow Feng Xiaoyun's instructions and said, "Now, each department should explain their respective situations!"
Looking at Yan Zi pretending to be calm.
Feng Xiaoyun couldn't help but sigh again, feeling that he had been fooled by Feng Jianguo.
His original intention in agreeing to Yan Zi taking over Jiangdu Entertainment was that he didn't want Yan Zi to suffer all kinds of grievances like before. After all, if this identity was revealed, few people in the entire Chinese entertainment industry would or dared to let her suffer any grievances.
But when he and Yan Zi actually took over Jiangdu Entertainment, he realized that Feng Jianguo, the old fox, had come up with this plan because he didn't want to take over his company. He had actually come up with this plan by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
Originally, he only had to worry about Yan Zi, but now he has to consider the operation of the entire Jiangdu Entertainment.
"Hello, Mr. Yan, let me speak first!" Lu Xun, who was sitting next to him, spoke first.
"It's almost the end of the year. We have seven self-produced films this year, six of which have been released, and one is about to be released."
"The total investment in these seven films is 1.87 billion yuan, of which three have a cost of over 400 million yuan."
"The total profit from box office, including overseas copyright, DVD and online streaming rights, is 2.72 billion yuan. However, we still have a big-budget film of the year that has not yet been released. It is expected to take 1.5-2 billion yuan at the box office and the expected profit is about 500-700 million yuan."
This is considered the most profitable area of Jiangdu Entertainment, with billions of profits every year.
This kind of independently invested self-made film is generally a big IP, and only after careful market analysis can it be profitable will Jiangdu Entertainment complete independent investment.
Almost all of these movies make money, and the few that don't perform well at the box office don't lose too much money.
In addition to these independently invested self-produced films, Jiangdu Entertainment also co-invests in many films with other entertainment companies and film companies every year. Those films have both profits and losses. The profits are not that much, and the losses are not that big either. The annual profit is probably around a few hundred million.
"As for self-produced TV series, there are a total of 16 TV series, two of which are about to be broadcast, and the others have already completed their first round of broadcasts."
At this point, Lu Xun looked at Chen Mingshan and said, "Because the first round of broadcasts were all on the TV stations within our group, there was no income from that aspect. However, with product placements and other factors, the income and expenditure from the TV series production were basically balanced, with a slight surplus."
This was also the territory that Lu Xun had been fighting for with Chen Mingshan for so many years, because he always felt that it was unreasonable for him to shoot a TV series on his side and then have Chen Mingshan broadcast it for free.
Because they are all owned by their own groups, there is no need for TV stations to spend money to buy the first round of broadcasts. Otherwise, the tax would be a considerable amount of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. If a TV station shoots and broadcasts its own films, there will be no such problem.
Chen Mingshan has always used this to firmly control Lu Xun's profits from TV dramas, resulting in a significant decrease in Lu Xun and the entire Jiangdu Entertainment Group's interest in self-produced TV dramas in recent years.
Because the most that can be achieved by selling the second and third round broadcasting rights for a TV series, plus some advertising placement fees, is to break even at best.
So, Lu Xun asked directly, "I wonder if Mr. Yan could give us some of the advertising revenue from the TV station's drama broadcasts? Otherwise, the TV drama development here will really fall behind!"
Chen Mingshan hadn't expected Lu Xun to start putting obstacles in his way on his first day as the new CEO. How did the TV station make money? Wasn't it just advertising? Was Lu Xun trying to undermine him?
He quickly interjected, "Boss Yan, this advertising fee is the basis for the operation of our TV station. The income we pay to the group every year comes from advertising..."
Then the two of them started arguing in front of Yan Zi. After all, it was said that a new official would start with three fires. Which direction this first fire was burned would determine who would be the winner between Lu Xun and Chen Mingshan in the future.
What's more, the reasons of the two people are not for themselves. One is for the development of the self-produced TV series, and the other is for the development of the TV station. It is really hard to say who is right and who is wrong.
Feng Xiaoyun had not expected such a scene, and naturally did not tell Yan Zi what to do. Yan Zi saw that the two men were getting more and more excited. If he had not been sitting between them, he would probably have stood up and slammed the table.
At this point, she knew she had to speak up. "That's enough! It's really unreasonable to film a TV series and not receive the all-important first-run broadcast rights. We at Jiangdu Entertainment want to make quality products."
"Today's audiences are paying more and more attention to the costumes and props of TV dramas. There are many cases of shoddy production due to insufficient funds. I don't want this to happen to our Jiangdu Entertainment self-produced dramas."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xun's heart skipped a beat! In the past two years, the reputation of Jiangdu Entertainment's self-produced films and TV series has indeed been polarized. Many viewers have been complaining that their TV series are becoming increasingly crude. Is this a criticism of himself?
Yan Zi continued, "So from now on, whichever drama is broadcast in which time slot, a portion of the advertising revenue from that time slot will be allocated to the TV series."
Since Yan Zi spoke up, the two of them naturally couldn't continue arguing, and the result was exactly what Lu Xun wanted, so he looked quite proud.
