Conference Room, 5th Floor, Administration Building, No. 1, Tseung Kwan O Studio City. [;Starting]

The Spring Festival holiday is coming soon. Today is the year-end meeting of Oriental DreamWorks.

Kang Jianfei sat in the chair, with Ma Qiao, the operation director, Zhou Mingfang, the administrative director, and Tang Shuxuan, the production director, on the left and right, and the managers of various departments on the left and right.

"Some things happened some time ago, which may affect the confidence of some people," Kang Jianfei glanced at everyone present, and then began to make a pre-meeting speech, "It seems to me that Taiwan is nothing to lose. The big deal is the best proof that the box office sells in the mainland. However, this incident has also caused a series of bad changes, and our work in the coming year will definitely need to be adjusted, which will be discussed later. Vice President Zhou, Can you tell us about our results in 1984..."

Zhou Mingfang opened the folder and said, "DreamWorks produced a total of 11 films in 1984, 9 of which have already been released, with a total box office of 125.28 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for about 21% of the total Hong Kong film market share. In addition, the overseas box office was 573.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and the video tapes, movie soundtracks and other peripheral incomes were 7.64 million..."

Kang Jianfei looked at the simple statement in his hand. Last year, DreamWorks' total expenditure was 78.35 million yuan (only more than 10 million yuan has been invested so far), and its total income was as high as 200 million yuan.

As a film company, the annual net profit of more than 100 million will definitely scare people to death. Jiahe and Xinyicheng may only add up to this much. Moreover, DreamWorks' share of the Hong Kong box office market exceeded one-fifth for the first time. In 1984, it can be said that Oriental DreamWorks has officially become a super-dominant in the film industry.

The reason for such a high profit is mainly due to Kang Jianfei's keen vision. All the scripts hand-picked by him have a box office of over 10 million. Many DreamWorks employees now regard Kang Jianfei as a "god". As long as it is a script that Kang Jianfei affirms, there must be a lot of people rushing to join the crew.

In addition, DreamWorks also has a TV production department, which lost a lot of money in 1983, but broke even in 1984. There is a slight profit after it will be sold to the central station.

"The growth of DreamWorks is inseparable from your hard work," Kang Jianfei glanced at Zeng Zhiwei seemingly unintentionally before continuing, "I won't say much about thank you, this year's year-end rewards are based on everyone's performance assessment, The salaries for three months to six months are distributed, and everyone can go to receive the year-end bonus after the meeting."

Hearing that you can get a year-end bonus equivalent to half a year's salary at most, smiles appeared on the faces of all the participants. Only Zeng Zhiwei smiled a little embarrassedly. He serves as DreamWorks Television Production Manager. For the director's salary of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan. In the second half of the year, I went out to help people shoot two movies.

Of course, Zeng Zhiwei is not just for money, he is good at making friends, and there is also a trace of friendship that cannot be avoided in filming.

Kang Jianfei glanced at him just now. No matter how thick-skinned Zeng Zhiwei was, he couldn't hold it back. He kept his head down in the meeting after that, as if there was something on the meeting table that kept him from looking away.

Ma Qiao continued: "During the past year, DreamWorks has successfully entered the West Germany and the Netherlands markets, and we have released five European countries. There is also news to celebrate, South Korea will expand Hong Kong films next year. As for the admission quota, DreamWorks used to sell a maximum of 3 movies to South Korea a year, and from next year it will be able to sell at least 6 movies... Since the Oriental Cinema is classified as a leftist cinema by the Taiwan authorities, no company such as Yongsheng Pictures has already Terminate the cooperation with the Oriental Cinema. If it wants to meet the film source demand of the Oriental Cinema, DreamWorks must increase the number of film productions next year.”

Tang Shuxuan replied: "If you want to basically meet the film source demand of the Oriental Cinema Line, at least 15 films must be made in the coming year."

The average release time of films in the three major schedules is about one month, while ordinary films can be released for half a month.

Make 30 films a year like Shaw Brothers. This approach is simply not advisable. The consequence of too much film production is that the release schedule cannot be arranged. On average, each film can be released for about 10 days.

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "The shooting plan for next year must be done well, and the film on the Oriental Cinema Line must not be cut off."

A meeting lasted for three hours. After the meeting, everyone had a dinner together. In the evening, there was a celebration program for the employees' annual meeting.

Kang Jianfei took the elevator upstairs to the Phoenix Terrace. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard a tidal wave of cheers from downstairs. Obviously, the managers of various departments of DreamWorks announced the year-end awards.

When he came to the statistics section of Phoenix TV, Kang Jianfei stopped an employee who was about to get off work for dinner and asked, "Has the highest ratings been counted?"

When the man saw it was Kang Jianfei, he immediately said respectfully, "It's already out, and the highest ratings are only 7%."

"I see, you can stop work and eat." Kang Jianfei nodded at the employee, but then he couldn't help frowning.

Kang Jianfei is still mentally prepared for the ratings, but the data of 7% is still a bit too low. Right now, there are only two TV stations in Hong Kong, but they broadcast at prime time on Friday with such a low audience rating.

After leaving the film and television city, Kang Jianfei took a car directly across the sea to Fulinmen Restaurant.

Xu Jiasheng, the director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, is quite particular. He seems to think that Fulinmen is very high-end.

When Kang Jianfei came to the box, the gray-haired Xu Jiasheng was chatting with his female secretary Ji Xiaoyue, and the relationship between the two seemed to be quite close.

"Mr. Kang, please take a seat!" Xu Jiasheng pulled Kang Jianfei to sit down with a smile and said, "The leaders above are very happy that such a patriotic documentary can be broadcast in Hong Kong."

It was broadcast on Phoenix Channel two days ago. The reason why the relevant leaders in the mainland knew so quickly was that Xu Jiasheng actively reported it. Not only that, but there was also a special article yesterday reporting the smash hit in Hong Kong. The general content of this report is that the broadcast in Hong Kong caused great repercussions, aroused the enthusiasm of the Hong Kong people for the motherland, and can't wait to return to the motherland as soon as possible.

"Thanks to President Xu for contacting us, we can let the Hong Kong audience see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland!" Kang Jianfei naturally won't disappoint by saying that the ratings are only a pitiful 7%, he even thinks that he is too serious, just put it on the week The garbage time of 1 and 2 can be broadcast, as long as it can fool the leaders on the other side. Anyway, for Xu Jiasheng and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, it is already a real achievement for Phoenix to broadcast CCTV's programs to promote patriotism.

"I'm just passing on a message." Xu Jiasheng smiled as he spoke. He was actually very proud of this matter, and believed that Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu were able to move closer to the mainland because of his running and contact.

Kang Jianfei took out a cheque and handed it to Xu Jiasheng, saying, "President Xu is too modest. This time he was able to make a big hit at the mainland box office, thanks to your help in getting through the film bureau. This is no respect."

Kang Jianfei would definitely not dare to bribe the mainland officials in Hong Kong so blatantly. But Xu Jiasheng was different. At first glance, it was the style of a terrorist. Kang Jianfei didn't bother to send money in a petty way, and directly and violently stuffed checks in person.

Xu Jiasheng really lived up to his expectations, glanced at the zeros on the cheque, put it into his arms calmly, and smiled more brightly than before: "Mr. Yokang came out this time mainly to send invitations for CCTV. "

Xu Jiasheng took out an invitation card like a trick, and Kang Jianfei took a look at it, but it was an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.

The Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency is a window of the mainland in Hong Kong, and many things have to be asked for their help. Xu Jiasheng helped deliver the invitation letter half a year ago, but the target of the invitation was Teresa Teng. At that time, Xu Jiasheng had already persuaded Teresa Teng, but unfortunately the trip was not made due to political reasons.

The letter Kang Jianfei received was a guest invitation letter, and he didn't need to go on stage to perform the show, just sit down and eat fruit and watch the performance.

"Isn't the Spring Festival Gala recorded and broadcast? What time is New Year's 30?" Kang Jianfei glanced at the date and asked.

Xu Jiasheng explained: "The first two Spring Festival Gala were recorded and broadcast in the studio. This year, we plan to move to the Workers' Gymnasium for live broadcast. The hosts come from three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The scene is very grand."

"Oh, and the host of Hong Kong? Who is it?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Xu Jiasheng remembered the unhappiness between Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu, coughed and said, "It's Miss Banban from the wireless station~lightnovelpub.net~ Banban is the 83-year-old Han Xiaoying, she went to the Spring Festival Gala to be the host, and she can be regarded as the wireless station leaning towards the mainland. In addition to Banban, this year's Spring Festival Gala also invited Wang Mingquan to participate in the performance, and there is only one Chen Xiuwen on the Phoenix stage.

"I'm afraid not on New Year's Eve." Kang Jianfei shook his head and said.

Xu Jiasheng was mentally prepared to be rejected, and he no longer tried to persuade him, but said: "There were a lot of leaders on the day of the live broadcast. Mr. Kang can take the opportunity to get to know more."

Kang Jianfei's thoughts changed, and he suddenly laughed and said, "President Xu is probably the most powerful lobbyist in the world, so I'll be more respectful than obedient."

Xu Jiasheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't dare to do this."

Kang Jianfei said, "Tomorrow is the premiere of my new film. President Xu must come to the premiere."

"Sure, I will definitely support Mr. Kang's new film." Xu Jiasheng said with a smile.
