1776 [Annual Summary (Part 1)]

One summer later, Sophie Marceau called again.

"Xia, I miss you so much. When will you come to see me?" Sophie Marceau asked anxiously after receiving Xia Tian's call.

"It's not possible yet. In the past few days, I'll go to the company to handle some official duties." Xia Tian explained to her, "But don't worry. I will definitely go with you after I finish my work in a few days."

"Then you can handle official duties during the day and come over tonight. This is my first time in Hong Kong, so don't you plan to stroll with me?" Sophie Marsault said coquettishly.

"I have a lot of things to do tonight, too," Xia Tian explained, "Okay, be obedient, I promised to see you, and I will definitely go."

"In my opinion, you don't have time, you just don't have time to accompany me." Sophie Marsault angrily.

Xia Tian blinked his eyes, but he didn't expect Sophie Marceau was quite smart and he could guess it right. Yes, he really wanted to spend time with others. After all, he had been to the United States for four months this time, and it was a bit too much to keep these women alone in Hong Kong. If he didn't comfort him, he would probably have a fire in the backyard.

"Okay, don't be too willful. When I was in the United States, I've been with you for a long time," Xia Tian advised, "Let's do it like this, I'll see you in a few days. If you really feel bored, I'll find a tour guide for you and take you to a good tour around Hong Kong."

"Okay." Sophie Marceau had no choice but to nod, "But you have to be careful. If the tour guide sent was a handsome guy, I can't guarantee that I would have happened to him because of loneliness."

"..." After hearing this, Xia Tian suddenly felt a black line.

...

When we returned to the company, the managers of each branch were already waiting in the conference room.

Because the company was privatized before the summer, the entire company's structure is clearer, the resources are more compact, and the efficiency is higher.

Tianxia Group is now divided into nine branches, namely Tianxia Entertainment, Tianxia Hotel, Tianxia Publishing, Tianxia Energy, Tianxia Real Estate, Tianxia Clothing, Tianxia Food, Tianxia Finance and Tianxia Technology. The total market value is close to HK$200 billion, and it is currently the largest consortium in Hong Kong with the largest market value in addition to public listed companies such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, Citigroup, and Telecommunications.

Xia Tian also became a super rich man with a net worth of nearly 170 billion Hong Kong dollars because of holding most of the group's stocks. Li Ka-shing, who has a net worth of nearly 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, is the veritable richest man in Hong Kong.

If you add secret investments in North America, Eastern Europe and other places, your total net worth in summer has exceeded US$35 billion, which is not much different than that of the world's richest man Yoshiaki.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time~" Xia Tian entered the office, shook hands with everyone one by one, and then sat down in the chairperson. "Okay, now everyone will report on what the company's performance in the past year?"

"Mr. Xia, Tianxia Entertainment's total revenue this year is HK$6.7 billion and its net profit is HK$2.3 billion. Among them, Tianxia Pictures' revenue is HK$2.365 million and its net profit is HK$1.834 million; Tianxia Cinemas' revenue is HK$253.66 million and its net profit is HK$218 million; Asia TV's revenue is HK$3.686 million and its net profit is HK$3.686 million and its net profit is HK$..." Zhou Liang Shuyi thought to herself.

After the company's reorganization, she is now the general manager of Tianxia Entertainment, in charge of many film and television entertainment companies such as Tianxia Pictures, Tianxia Theater, Asia TV, Tianfeng Records, etc.

Xia Tian nodded while listening and flipping through the report in his hand. It lists the performance cards of several companies in the past year in detail.

For example, the cost, income, attendance, reputation, etc. of each movie; the cost, income, ratings, reputation, etc. of each TV series; each variety show and every record also have corresponding data. The list is organized, so that it can be seen at a glance.

Xia Tian noticed that "The Diary of a Real Man" starring Zhou Runfa, Chung Chuhong and Mei Yeon-fang cost only 14 million Hong Kong dollars, but it achieved a box office of 29 million Hong Kong dollars, almost breaking the 30 million mark. Moreover, thanks to the blessing of three superstars Zhou Runfa, Chung Chuhong and Mei Yeon-fang, the overseas box office of this movie is also very high and very popular.

The gambling film "Supreme" directed by Wang Jing and starring Alan Tam, Lam Qingxia, Liu Dehua and Li Jiaxin also achieved an excellent result of 32 million Hong Kong dollars.

As for the "Five-Billion Inspector Lei Luo (Part 1)" written by Xia Tian, ​​co-invested by Tianxia Pictures, Xinyi City, starring Wan Ziliang, Wu Mengda, Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min, it was also released in November.

Because of the east wind of the heroic film, the excellent summer script, the superb acting skills of drama artists such as Wan Ziliang, and the absence of blockbusters at that time, the movie won more than 39 million Hong Kong dollars in box office, almost exceeding 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

With this movie, Wan Ziliang also became a top star in the Hong Kong film industry and truly had the atmosphere of "big brother". Two new actors, Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min, also gained a lot of popularity with this movie.

As for Asian TV, it has also launched many popular dramas in the past year. In particular, it follows the popular hero films recently, and has released a drama that reflects the turmoil of Hong Kong in the 1960s, called "Big Destiny".

It tells the story of two brothers who smuggled from the mainland. Because of their different choices, one applied to the police academy and became a police officer; the other one mistakenly became a young and dandy, and each grew up into a generation of heroes with their own intelligence.

"Big Destiny" is a long TV series, which was first prepared to film 60 episodes. However, because the ratings have always been high and the strong appeals of the audience, it finally filmed for another 48 episodes, becoming a masterpiece with a length of 108 episodes.

In order to film this big drama, ATV also launched a lot. Like the older generation of Bao Qijing, Liu Zhirong, Wu Weiguo, Yue Hua, etc., Zeng Weiquan, Luo Fenglin, Lu Zhenshun of the Mesozoic generation, Jiang Hua, Yin Tianzhao, He Jiajin, and even the new Asian sisters Weng Hong, Chen Farong, Wu Yongwei, Wan Qiwen, etc., they all joined in and gained a lot of popularity through this drama.

In the second half of the year, Tianxia Records jointly organized the fourth original song competition with Asia TV, and discovered singers and groups such as Zheng Xiuwen, Zheng Yijian, and citybus.

However, from the perspective of the quality of the competition, compared with the previous three sessions, the quality of this session has decreased significantly. Among the contestants, nearly 60% of them do not understand the lyrics and compositions, and they use other people's songs to compete. Moreover, the quality of the songs they sang has also decreased certainly compared with the previous three sessions.

Xiatian is not surprised by this, because good singer-songwriters are not like leeks, they have cut one after another, and they need to have a growth stage. In the past few years, the famous songwriters of lyrics and songwriters in Hong Kong have only been Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, Lu Guozhan, Lin Xi, etc., and they can count them with both hands.

"If this is the case, you have to consider expanding the scope of the competition." Xia Tian pondered.

Like Taiwan, Star Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and even mainland China, there are many singers with excellent singing and writing skills. If Hong Kong lacks talents, it is better to consider exploring talents from these places.

Anyway, the purpose of establishing the original song competition in the summer was to revitalize the Chinese music scene. Therefore, including Chinese and overseas Chinese from other regions in the competition is also facilitating the development of the Chinese music scene.
