Chapter 336: Launch date, discuss dividends

Chen Yuan could understand.

Young people today are different from the previous generation. There are fewer people doing freelance work such as civil engineering. Most of them still choose to work in companies or large factories, and it is not time for them to take a vacation yet.

Students should be back soon, especially college students, who should be on vacation in a few days. As for when they will be back, that is hard to say.

“What are the villagers’ reactions? Are there many applicants? How are the positions arranged?” Chen Yuan took a deep breath and asked while flicking the ash from his cigarette.

“In the words of the villagers, who would want to leave their hometown if they can make a living there?” Chen Li said with a smile. As for the welfare in the village, no one would be willing to stay unless they were doing well outside.

but.

“It’s completely winter now. Business is getting slower and slower at both the fishing grounds and the amusement park. We don’t need so many people. So I discussed with Uncle Bin that those who are willing to work can start building Yucheng Village first, and those who want to take a break can wait until after the Spring Festival and go back to work in the spring.” Chen Li changed the subject.

Chen Yuan nodded. This arrangement was very reasonable and did not waste either manpower or financial resources.

The overall arrangement is reasonable, but the business of Yucheng Village is somewhat different from expectations.

Originally, Chen Yuan planned to start half-operation in February so that employees could focus on building Yucheng Village. However, business was unusually booming in the first few days of the month.

You’ll find out after you ask.

The kindergarten is on holiday. Those who have signed up for a monthly card will receive a free February monthly card. It would be a shame not to have some fun while your children are on holiday before the Spring Festival.

Although the monthly pass is free and the amusement park is free, it can boost the sales of packaged lunches and the turnover is still very good.

Beyond that, there’s good news.

On the second day of the month, Qin Fen called me early in the morning and said excitedly, “Brother, the post-production of the first part of Taoist Priest is done. Do you want to see the finished film?”

“show me.”

Chen Yuanzheng was just returning home after breakfast. He was very happy to receive Qin Fen’s call and quickly ran upstairs to see the production level of the first part of Taoist Priest.

The plan was to complete the production at the end of last month or the beginning of this month, which was completed within the planned time, but I don’t know how the result will be.

The result was very good and did not disappoint Chen Yuan.

Although the overall picture is definitely not exactly the same as the previous life, the main story line, plot details, etc. are not deviated, and the post-production level is also very good.

It is a very good restoration of the Taoist masterpiece, and Chen Yuan is confident that he can bombard the online movie market with this film.

“Has the film been submitted for review?”

After watching the film, Chen Yuan called Qin Fen and asked.

The submission for review here is different from the submission for review on the big screen. There is no need to apply for the Dragon Mark. Instead, it will be broadcast in the form of a program, so it can be directly supplied to the platform.

It is originally a content supply and cooperative profit-sharing model.

“Not yet. I’m just here to see what you think. In case you’re not satisfied and need to re-edit it, the post-production department is always on standby.” Qin Fen responded.

“The finished film is good and can achieve the effect I want. Send it for review and scheduling directly. Let me know when the release date is set.” Chen Yuan instructed.

“Okay, I’ll contact you now.” Qin Fen said and was about to hang up the phone.

“How’s the filming progress over there?” After talking about the first part of Taoist, Chen Yuan asked about the filming of the second part. There has been no news of the completion during this period, so he didn’t know how the progress was.

“I’m almost there, it will probably take another three to five days. The other two crews are a little slower, I will go to support them after I finish.” Qin Fen replied.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Even though the filming of Taoist Priest 2 has already taken half a month and it has already taken twice as long as the first one, which seems a bit inefficient, the number of crew members has been drastically reduced and the filming difficulty is different. It was completed in about days, which is considered efficient in the online movie industry.

What’s more, this is Qin Fen’s first time to provide individual guidance.

The efficiency can be said to be very high.

As for the other two films, from the director department to the cast, and then to the screenwriter department, they all want to achieve results. The pursuit of excellence must have high requirements for quality, which is understandable.

What’s more, there is Xie Di following the group.

“Okay, feel free to contact me if there’s any situation. In any case, we have to pay attention to quality while pursuing efficiency. We need to focus on both efficiency and quality.” Chen Yuan reminded.

“I understand.” Qin Fen laughed loudly.

After hanging up the phone, everyone continued to work.

Chen Yuan held a cigarette in his mouth, made some tea, and continued his editing work without leaving the house.

All four scripts of the Taoist trilogy have been completed, and the sequel, Maoshan Taoist, is also nearing its end, and the speed of restoration and editing is still very fast.

Three days later, Maoshan was restored. Chen Yuan prepared to restore and edit another film called Infant Spirit, and then edit the Onmyoji series. This track would be enough.

Try to get it done before the New Year.

After the Spring Festival, we set out to bring together tracks with multiple elements such as thrilling disasters and adventures, with the online movie box office champion Big Snake as a breakthrough.

“Time is running out.”

The continuous restoration editing has been extremely intense. I even stay up late at night to work overtime, but I still manage to fill my schedule.

But there is good news.

On the 6th, Qin Fen brought two good news.

“Haha, the date for Taoist to go online has been set. It’s the 8th, which means it will be online at midnight the day after tomorrow.” Qin Fen called early in the morning, and couldn’t wait to tell Chen Yuan the good news.

“Yucheng Film and Television is about to take off, get ready to count the money, brother.” When Chen Yuan received the news, he couldn’t help but put a bright smile on his face.

Although the launch was anticipated a long time ago, only after the date was confirmed did I feel completely relieved. The most important thing is that it is successfully launched before the New Year, which will allow everyone to feel at ease and celebrate the New Year happily.

Otherwise, many people would be worried this year.

“Haha, it’s an overnight success, and my hands are cramping from counting money.” Qin Fen is very excited now, because he is looking forward to his first work.

Who doesn’t want to have good grades?

“By the way, the second part was finished today. Campus and Knight can be finished before the Spring Festival. The post-production department will resume work on the 9th.” Qin Fen talked about the second good news.

“Okay, I’ll be back after the crew finishes. I’ll rest when I need to rest, and take a vacation when I need to take a vacation.” Chen Yuan said with an even wider smile.

The crew has been traveling outside for nearly a month, working at full efficiency and intensity. Those departments that remain in the company are also working overtime on post-production and all need a good rest.

What’s more, the Spring Festival is approaching, so the holiday can only be more, not less.

“I know, after the filming here is finished, we will go back, hold an annual meeting, give out bonuses, and go home to celebrate the New Year.” Qin Fen has made arrangements.

Chen Yuan didn’t say anything more. Sooner or later, these matters would be handed over to Qin Fen and others to take full charge.

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

“Ding-ling-ling~” As soon as I hung up the phone, the ring started again.

“Hey, Uncle Bin~”

It was Chen Wenbin calling, and Chen Yuan answered the call with a smile.

“I’ve been very busy lately, and I haven’t seen you around much.” Chen Wenbin’s kind laugh came.

“I am indeed a bit busy, mainly with the online movie, which I cannot let go of for the time being. Also, I will start preparing for the CAA competition next month, and I have to get all these things done before and after the Spring Festival.”

Chen Yuan responded with a smile while picking up the cigarette box and smoking a cigarette.

“Are you free now? Would you like to come to the village committee to chat?” Chen Wenbin didn’t say hello and went straight to the point.

“Uncle Bin has spoken, so you must be free. Be ready to report in three minutes.”

Chen Yuan was already holding a cigarette and holding a lighter, ready to light it. When he heard this, he turned his head to his ear, closed his computer, put two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, rushed downstairs, and rode his beloved tricycle straight to the village committee.

In less than three minutes, he appeared in Chen Wenbin’s office.

“Uncle Bin.”

Chen Yuan knocked on the door and walked in with a smile on his face. He took out a cigarette box and handed it to Chen Wenbin.

“You are a famous person in the village now. You stay at home all day and don’t go out. Many people in the village want to visit you.” Chen Wenbin took the cigarette and joked.

As the Spring Festival approaches, more and more villagers return to the village. Yucheng Village becomes more and more lively day by day, and Chen Yuan’s name appears in many conversations.

Today, Chen Yuan has indeed become a celebrity in Yucheng Village. Everyone will give him a thumbs up, and everyone will respectfully call him Boss Chen when seeing him.

“What does it matter whether I’m a celebrity or not? I’m just an ordinary citizen.” Chen Yuan didn’t care about these false names at all. He took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Chen Wenbin.

Then he pulled over a chair and sat down, took the cigarette from his ear and lit it.

Chen Wenbin took a puff of cigarette, reached out and pointed at Chen Yuan, then shook his head and smiled, without saying anything. He turned the computer, pointed the screen at Chen Yuan, and said:
“I called you here to discuss the dividend issue with you. What do you think of my plan?”

Chen Yuan leaned forward and looked over.

When he received the call from Chen Wenbin, he guessed it was this matter. After all, it had been mentioned before, and the Spring Festival was approaching, so this matter must be implemented.

“I think the plan is fine.” Chen Yuan read it carefully and agreed very much with the plan formulated by Chen Wenbin.

When the village and the enterprise first cooperated, it was agreed that as long as one had a house, land and a household registration in Yucheng Village, one could enjoy dividends, which means that all the 400 registered households can get dividends.

But the dividends can be much or little. Those with more resources in the village will definitely get more than those with fewer resources, otherwise there will be no fairness.

Chen Wenbin distributes dividends according to these. The more resources you contribute, the more dividends you get. If someone is jealous, he can go back to the village and contribute, and he can also get money.

“That’s good.”

Hearing that Chen Yuan thought it was okay, Chen Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief, flicked the ash off his cigarette and sighed, “It’s just that the numbers on the books aren’t big enough, so the distribution this year isn’t that much.”

Chen Wenbin carefully considered various factors and worked out this year’s dividend plan. The highest amount could be more than 6,000 yuan, and the lowest was nearly 2,000 yuan, which means an average of more than 4,000 yuan per household.

The dividend is not much, and Chen Wenbin was originally hesitant about whether to take the dividend this time.

The decision to distribute dividends was made after my last chat with Chen Yuan. After all, it is the first year of cooperation between the village and the enterprise, and distributing dividends no matter how much is a sign of attitude.

Furthermore, as Chen Yuan said, dividends are money in addition to wages and bonuses, and those who work outside may not even think about this money.

So this money is a pleasant surprise, and it is more or less a happy thing.

Moreover, since I have seen the money this year, I will definitely look forward to next year. Then after the Spring Festival, won’t I be more motivated to work?
“Next year will be the year for Yucheng Village to take off. To be precise, the day after tomorrow will be the beginning of flapping its wings.” Chen Yuan smoked a cigarette with a bright and confident smile on his face.

“The day after tomorrow? What does that mean?” Chen Wenbin was a little confused.

“The release date of Yucheng Film and Television’s first drama has been confirmed. It will be online at midnight the day after tomorrow, so get ready to count the money.” Chen Yuan’s confident smile became even brighter.

“It’s online so soon.” Chen Wenbin was surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face. No matter what, this is a good thing.

After happily smoking a cigarette, Chen Wenbin asked again, “We can see the box office revenue after it goes online, right?”

“Well, it’s similar to the big screen. Content providers can see the real-time box office revenue.” Chen Yuan nodded with a smile.

Although the online movie industry is still in its infancy, there are many flaws in both the model and the system, and even the data has not been fully transparent.

But the box office revenue can definitely be seen. After all, this is what all content providers care about most. It’s like a movie released on the big screen. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see the box office revenue.

“Tell me the truth, what are your expectations for this drama?”

Chen Wenbin listened to Chen Yuan’s response, nodded slightly, then took a deep puff of his cigarette, looked up at Chen Yuan and asked with a serious look.

“What I can guarantee is that it will definitely exceed Uncle Bin’s imagination. I’m even confident that the first day’s box office will shock everyone.” Chen Yuan smiled confidently.

He had seen the sample film, and it was not much different from his previous life, and the market environment was the same. Without any absolute unexpected factors, the masterpiece was destined to remain a masterpiece.

This masterpiece is definitely a blockbuster for the online movie industry. It is a classic with low cost and high return as well as short cycle and fast return.

It is precisely because of this masterpiece that the online movie industry became an instant hit and became a hot commodity in the eyes of investors from all sides.

People in express delivery, wedding planning, transportation, all kinds of people came in like crazy, just like they were fighting for a big pot of rice, all wanting to have a bite.

In a sense, “The Taoist” ushered in an era of wild growth for online movies and also created the online movie industry.

“In that case, let’s arrange the village meeting after the launch. What do you think?” Chen Wenbin looked at the firm confidence in Chen Yuan’s eyes and asked after a few seconds of silence.

“Of course you can. The Spring Festival is approaching and Yucheng Village will soon be on holiday. We can then hold the village meeting, year-end summary and year-end dinner together.” Chen Yuan nodded with a smile.

Of course he understood what Chen Wenbin meant.

When distributing dividends, I want to use the box office revenue from the drama “Taoist” to further stimulate the villagers, so that all the villagers can feel real hope.

So he confidently assured that he would not disappoint anyone.

“Okay, then we’ll follow your arrangements on when to give us holidays and when to have dinner and distribute dividends. It’s time for the village to have some fun.” Chen Wenbin was in a good mood.

In previous Spring Festivals, although many villagers returned to the village, there were basically no group activities, and it still seemed a bit deserted, and the previous festive atmosphere was long gone.

But this year is different.

It’s bustling and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger, as if we have returned to the days of the old village chief.

This is the Yucheng Village that Chen Wenbin has always been looking forward to.

“correct.”

Suddenly, Chen Wenbin seemed to think of something, put out his cigarette, opened the drawer, and took out a document.
