A small window-side meeting room was filled with Lemon executives.

Jiang Xiao, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly felt that maybe it was time to change his office location. The main reason was that the company was developing better than expected and the scale was gradually increasing, which naturally led to the current office environment becoming more and more tense.

.

It seems that there is basically nothing to hesitate about, and we can mention it later.

Putting aside this, the meeting started soon. However, Jiang Xiao did not speak, but directly gave a signal to general manager Han Jiaren, who also understood and said: "Okay, let's start the meeting. Let's talk about last year's situation first. Wu

Manager, start from your branch."

"Okay, Mr. Han..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong, the general manager of Lemon Pictures, also reported the business situation of Lemon Pictures in a straightforward manner.

Jiang Xiao, on the other hand, basically listened. Although he was the big boss behind the scenes, he was not actually involved in the daily management of Lemon, so he had to give Han Jiaren, the general manager, the respect he deserved.

Basically, he is the "overlord" who can grasp the direction of development and decide on some projects, which is pretty much all he needs to do.

It would be very tiring to take care of everything.

After all, what he seems to be better known to people on the surface is actually an artist and a star.

"Last year we had "July and Ansheng", "To Youth", "Beijing Meets Seattle", "Your Name" and "Now You See Me", which received 212 million, 720 million, 663 million and 1.137 billion respectively.

billion, with a box office of 1.053 billion, and also participated in the release of "Fast and Furious 6"..."

Listening to Wu Tong's report, Jiang Xiao felt that Lemon's achievements could only be said to be number one in the industry.

This made him sigh. After all, he created all of this and it only took a few years.

One more thing, although "Your Name" was robbed of its glory due to the emergence of "Act of the Brave", the final box office of this animation broke the 1 billion mark, reaching 1.137 billion.

The cost of this animation is not low, it cost 45 million.

But compared to the box office of over 1 billion+, it is natural to make a lot of money. After deducting special projects, taxes, cinemas, theater chain shares, and distribution, there was still about 450 million in the hands of Lemon.

After deducting costs and publicity, 380 million is still a profit.

The key is that this is only domestic. After the movie became a hit in China, it naturally attracted attention overseas. It is already being released in Xiangjiang, Wanwan, South Korea, and some Southeast Asian countries, and has achieved very good results.

For example, Xiangjiang has currently exceeded the 30 million Hong Kong dollar mark, and Wanwan has also reached 200 million Hong Kong dollars. This is probably the best result achieved by a pure lemon work in these two places, and it has been achieved by an animated film.

To put it bluntly, because he knew that there would not be much box office when it was released, Jiang Xiao didn't pay attention to these two places at all. Anyway, most of Lemon's movies were not released in these two places.

Maybe the dimensional world can put aside some prejudices.

Other Southeast Asian countries also received approximately US$17 million.

Now "Your Name" is a Chinese-language movie, and there are many Chinese in these places. A successful and popular movie has aroused some kind of resonance, so it has received such good box office.

South Korea is currently the country with the highest overseas box office, with a box office of almost 21 million US dollars.

Next, some countries in North America, Europe, and Australia will also release it one after another.

Of course, Japan, a country that loves two-dimensional movies most, is definitely indispensable, and it is the key point. It is also the film market that Jiang Xiao is looking forward to. He has already found a cooperative distributor in Japan.

Then the dubbing will be done again, in Japanese, and Jiang Xiao himself will also personally participate. After all, he can also speak Japanese and can create a topic.

So he expressed serious expectations about how much box office it would get in the end.

Back at the meeting, as Wu Tong, the general manager of Lemon Pictures, finished talking about the situation of Lemon Pictures, Jiang Dalin, the general manager in charge of film, television and animation, Qin He, artist director Liang Meihong and others all talked about their 13 years of work one by one.

development situation.

Relatively speaking, Jiang Xiao is the one who has the most involvement in the movie, and others are less involved. Of course, the general direction is still grasped.

As for TV dramas, "Let's Get Married" starring Gao Yuanyuan has been aired in the second half of the year. Needless to say, the ratings have exploded and Da Meiyuan's popularity has also reached its peak.

"One Servant, Two Masters" will be aired soon, and "The Legend of Ancient Swords" is in the later stages and should be aired in the second half of the year.

In 2014, we will continue to film the two dramas "Flower Thousand Bones" and "Nirvana in Fire".

The former is naturally for the little knife girl, while the latter will have Tong Yaya as the female lead.

Sisters Reba and Nazha will also participate in "A Thousand Bones of Flowers". Anyway, the relationship between the two girls and Zhao Liying is "extraordinary", so they are not afraid of the three girls getting together. After all...

Of course, the main reason is that there are not many female characters in "Nirvana in Fire" and there is no way to arrange them.

In addition, in terms of variety shows, it goes without saying that "Three Meals a Day" and "I Am a Singer", as well as "Running Man", "Where Are We Going, Dad", and "The King of Masked Singer".

Among them, "Three Meals a Day" and "I Am a Singer" are no longer dominated by Lemon, and they have limited participation. They are basically left to Mango and Shu TV. Just split the money.

"Running Man" and "Where Are We Going, Old Father" were all dominated by Natural Lemon, while "The King of Masked Singer" only received a share.

Then there are new changes this year. We will produce "Ji Chuan" and exchange the copyright from South Korea for "Where Did My Old Father Go"? It is impossible to spend money.

In fact, it should be called "Infinite Peach War" in Korea. I remember that the copyright was bought by CCTV. Tomato TV's "Peach" does not have the copyright. To put it harshly, it was copied. Didn't it encounter several suspensions during the period?

.

Obviously CCTV is very angry, and the consequences will be very serious. If it can be broadcast later, it must have reached something...y, uh...

Of course, this situation will no longer happen now, but Jiang Xiao is also afraid that people will copy it in advance and it will be troublesome to file a lawsuit. Therefore, after the copyright is secured, production and broadcast will begin this year.

Who made the time closer, and the type of variety show almost made him create a trend in the country in advance.

To be honest, Jiang Xiao has seen many variety shows in his memory, even if they are not the most popular ones.

The final animation, "Your Name" not only gave the outside world an "animation miracle", but there were obviously some surprises inside Lemon.

With such a good start, I will definitely continue to work hard, but animation production does take time, so you have to take your time.

At the moment, we still have to deal with the "Return of the Monkey King" project first, and of course we will also start preparing for a new 2D project. Everything is going as planned.

Movies, TV, variety shows, and animation are Lemon’s four most important sections and business focus.

As for artist managers and so on, well, speaking of it... there are a lot of "boss ladies", so what else can I say?

Song Zuer, Song Yi, and Liu Haoran were also under great pressure. Lemon pointed at these three artists to bring management income to the company.

Of course, on the surface, all the artists actually make money for the company. Jiang Xiao wants to avoid being seen by others. It doesn't matter if she is the "boss lady" in public, but obviously there is no way to do it publicly, so she supplies women in private.

All in all, the first half of the meeting was about the gains made in 2013, and the second half was naturally about the new investment projects in 2014.

TV series include "Flower Thousand Bones" and "Langya Bang", and variety shows include "Ji Tiao".

As for movies, there is "Heart Blossoms", directed and starred by Xu Zhanzheng, and Huang Bo will still participate in the starring role.

The literary film "Nian Hua" starring him and Zhou Xun is in post-production.

The sequel to "The Ex", the second part "The Ex 2", will also be filmed this year.

He also participated in the investment of Xu Laoguai's new work "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", but he was not the leader, but partially participated.

As well as the science fiction film "Edge of Tomorrow" starring Jiang Xiao himself and setting a new investment record. The copyright has been obtained for several years, and it is time to start planning for filming.

These movies are Lemon's 2014 film list, which is not that many compared to other film companies.

And if everything goes well for "Edge of Tomorrow," it won't be released until the end of next year.

No matter what, if you clarify your thinking, take one step at a time, and become bigger and stronger, under his "cheating" leadership, Lemon is destined to continue to shine and make billions more every year.

It's no exaggeration at all, because Lemon's overall revenue this year is double digits, and the unit is naturally 100 million.
Chapter completed!
