Chapter 228 Double Explosion and Summary
The next morning, Fu Yibai left Fan Binbin's house and went straight to Xingmeng Digital Entertainment.
Outside the car window, it was the dry, cold of December in Beijing. The roadside trees were bare, and the sky was gray, as if covered with a veil.
The car came to a stop downstairs at Xingmeng Digital Entertainment Building.
Fu Yibai stepped out of the elevator. The young woman at the front desk was tidying up her things when she heard footsteps. She looked up and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Hello, Mr. Fu!"
"Um."
Fu Yibai nodded.
Upon hearing the commotion, Liu Yongqiang immediately came out of his office, holding a tablet in his hand, with an undisguised smile on his face.
"Mr. Fu, you're here."
"How's the data?"
"Absolutely wonderful."
Liu Yongqiang followed behind him toward the conference room, speaking much faster than usual.
"Last night, the peak number of concurrent online users was 1.12 million, with an average of 680,000 online at any given time."
We haven't calculated the exact retention rate yet, but based on the backend data, it shouldn't be low.
Fu Yibai sat down in the conference room, and Liu Yongqiang handed him a tablet with a series of real-time data on it.
"One million one hundred and twenty thousand..."
Fu Yibai looked at the number and tapped his finger lightly on the table.
"Can the server handle it?"
"There was a slight lag last night, so the tech team added two nodes temporarily, and it stabilized by early this morning."
Liu Yongqiang sat down next to him and opened his notebook.
"By the way, Mr. Fu, the data for the joint promotion event is also out."
Since last night, more than 80,000 users have redeemed the Kai'Sa limited skin using their "Gravity" ticket stubs.
Our server has a dedicated interface; users can redeem their tickets simply by entering the ticket stub number. The process is very simple.
"Eighty thousand..."
Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair, a slight smile curving his lips.
This number isn't huge, but considering that League of Legends only had its open beta launch on the first day and the number of collaboration skins redeemed had already reached 80,000, it speaks volumes.
After looking at the data for "League of Legends", he glanced at "Three Kingdoms Kill".
"Three Kingdoms Kill" is probably one of the most popular games in East Asia right now.
Both online and offline data are very impressive.
To date, net profit has reached 3.7 million RMB.
Next year, with the addition of revenue from League of Legends, StarDream Digital Entertainment's revenue may even surpass that of Morningstar, making it his most profitable subsidiary.
After visiting Xingmeng Digital Entertainment, he went to Xingyun Video and Lieyang Investment.
December 31st, the last day of 2007.
Fu Yibai held an end-of-year summary meeting at the company.
The conference room was full of people: Zhao Qi, Wang Peng, Lin Wei, Xu Liang, Chen Mo, Wu Zhen, Li Mingde, Liu Yongqiang, Qi Yuan... everyone who could come was there.
Zhao Qi first reported on the overall situation of Chenxi Media.
"This year, the company has three films that it has invested in and controlled: Gravity, Breakup Buddies, and Nobody Knows Me."
Gravity has grossed 7.3 million RMB in China and 5.3 million USD worldwide, and its box office is still growing. Breakup with Love has grossed over 1 million RMB in its first week of release. Nobody is scheduled to be released on January 10.
The revenue from external investment for "Iron Man" has already been received.
The revenue share was US$9130 million, approximately RMB 7 million.
Other external film and television investment income totaled RMB 1.3 million.
In terms of TV dramas, the post-production of "The Temptation to Go Home" and "Palace" is about to be completed, and the first broadcast rights for satellite TV have been sold to Hunan Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV in advance, with the price per episode exceeding 70 yuan.
In terms of variety shows, the first season of "Running Man" has a total viewership of over 8 million. The second season had a title sponsorship fee of 8000 million yuan and a total investment of over 2 million yuan. The satellite TV broadcasting rights were sold to Zhejiang Satellite TV for 180 million yuan per episode and a 10% share of the revenue from the inserted episodes.
The company's annual revenue from film, television, and variety shows is expected to exceed 15 billion yuan, with a net profit of around 8 million yuan.
A murmur of discussion broke out in the conference room.
With a net profit of 8 million, it's definitely top-tier among domestic film and television companies.
Moreover, Chenxi Media has only been established for a few years, so its achievements are truly inspiring.
Fu Yibai nodded and looked at Wang Peng.
Wang Peng opened his notebook: "In terms of production, the projects approved this year include 'The Witch,' 'You Are the Apple of My Eye,' and 'Pacific Rim.'"
Filming for "The Witch" has wrapped, post-production is nearing completion, and it is expected to be released next summer.
Filming for "You Are the Apple of My Eye" has just wrapped up and is currently in post-production; the release date has not yet been set.
Pacific Rim is still in the planning stages, but the investors have already been confirmed.
50% for Morning Light, 10% for Franchise Films, 20% for China Film Group, and 20% for Wanda.
It is expected to start production in the second half of next year.
In addition, director Ning Hao's new project is already in preparation; it's an award-contending film, and the script is still being polished.
Fu Yibai looked at Lin Wei.
Lin Wei said, "In terms of artists, we have signed four new artists this year: Yang Xue, Jiang Yan, Zhang Li, and Shu Chang. Resources have already been arranged for them."
The commercial value of top celebrities continues to rise, with Fan Binbin and Tangyan each securing three international brand ambassadorships in Asia.
Fan Binbin and Tang Yan both made it into the top 50 of the Forbes China Celebrity List.
The artist management department's overall revenue reached 4.7 million this year.
Next, Xu Liang reported on the cinema chain situation, Chen Mo reported on the music department, Wu Zhen reported on the distribution department, Li Mingde reported on Nebula Video, Liu Yongqiang reported on Xingmeng Digital Entertainment, and Qi Yuan reported on Lieyang Investment.
Two hours had passed by the time the reports were completed.
Fu Yibai concluded by giving a summary.
"The company's development this year has exceeded my expectations."
Thank you all for your hard work. Your year-end bonuses will be doubled this year.
I hope everyone will continue to work hard next year.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu!"
