Chapter 124: Celebration Banquet
The ability to prepare two projects at the same time, etc., not everyone has...
Let Liu Jiang shoot "Departure Today" first, and then film "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law".
There's plenty of time!
Oh, the book Shen Mengxi said is "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law"...
The cost of "Departure Today" is about 4 million, and Shen Mengxi approved 3 million...
This project has been selected for the China Film Youth Film Program, and it has already been approved, and China Film has also invested 1 million, and now Mengxi Studio has made up for the gap of 3 million, and the project will be launched immediately!
Shen Mengxi really doesn't care about this project, otherwise, he wouldn't even pay attention to casting...
Anyway, the 3 million investment will definitely be recovered!
......
On January 10, Shen Mengxi, who came back from his hometown, was looking at the financial report.
As early as seven days ago, Zhao Jinsong took the financial team to count last year's income and expenditure.
The total expenditure is almost 60 million - 20 million for "Ip Man", 1 million US dollars for "Uninvited", 8 million for "The Temptation to Go Home", 6 million for Tang Ren, 3 million for "Departure Today", and some projects in South Korea also need capital investment, in addition, employee salaries, benefits, bonuses for "People in Embarrassment" and the like...
Add a piece of 59 million...
The $5 million investment in Moving Maze doesn't count on the books, it's Mengxi Studio's expenses...
The total income is 120 million, "Double-sided Tape" is divided, Mingxi Company has called the money, about 6 million, the first batch of "Wang Gui and Anna" is 8 million, the income of "The Temptation of Wife" and "Rose Red Lotus" is 38 million yuan, and the net profit of "People in Embarrassment" is 9 million;
"Ghost Blows the Lantern" royalties plus licensing income, almost 30 million;
The first batch of "Moving Labyrinth" received $6 million, and the first royalties in Europe arrived the day before yesterday, almost 1.2 million euros...
"When the money earned by the film can exceed the royalties and remuneration, the studio can change its name to the company!"
Smile wryly and put the earnings report down.
By the way, he put the remuneration and royalty income in another card, which is his own money, and it can't be confused with the studio!
The income of the studio is the profit brought by the investment project.
It's not comparable to his personal income...
He is going to buy a few more houses, which will be regarded as a financial investment.
Turn on your computer, scroll through the webpage, and see the latest news...
""Stick Tiger Chicken" exceeded 10 million in the first week, causing a movie frenzy... Tsk..."
Seeing this false publicity, Shen Mengxi couldn't help laughing, after your sister's 10 million, the total box office is only 9 million, and you are embarrassed to promote 10 million in the first week?
Cheng Tian Zhen Nima garbage!
At the beginning, Wu Kebo attacked hard and poached Wang Jinghua's team, but he was stunned to successfully plant the flag in the mainland entertainment territory, and then what?
Sluggish!
The vision of film selection and investment is as bad as it gets.
You take a look at their key investment projects: "Red Cliff", "Stick Tiger Chicken", "Fengyun 2", "Sharpshooter and Zhiduoxing", "Genes Decide I Love You"...
It's not that there are a lot of bad movies, but they are indeed loss-making works.
How strong was Chengtian's funds?
The acquisition of Golden Harvest Cinema Line is the first film and television company in the mainland to open up the layout of the industrial chain - from production to terminal!
Let's put it this way, the first film company in the mainland to invest in Hollywood was Chengtian, which invested 1.7 billion yuan in Legendary Pictures, which was later acquired by Lao Wang.
Later, I found out that even if you became a shareholder, people would not take you to play, and the project development would keep you confidential throughout the whole process, and then it was withdrawn, and 1.3 billion found the receiver, well, 400 million was lost in vain!
"Stick Tiger Chicken" is so bad that it is sad, and it dares to be released when "Assembly" is raging in the film industry...
The head is really iron!
However, it is a bit difficult for "Casting a Name" to think about 200 million, according to the statistics of Dayang.com, the current box office is 192 million...
The reason, I also know the diversion effect of "People in Embarrassment".
......
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Mengxi and Zhao Jinsong were dressed neatly and went to the hotel.
The celebration banquet of "People in Embarrassment" was held today!
Although it did not break 100 million, it was also a box office result of 92 million, which is definitely worth celebrating!
"This year, "Yangtze River No. 7" should be able to make a good start to the film market!"
Shen Mengxi replied casually: "It's hard to say, "Slam Dunk" is only a month apart from it!"
Zhao Jinsong was speechless: "... That's Zhu Yanping's movie!"
"What's wrong with Zhu Yanping? Look down on me Zhou Jielun?"
With Jay here, who cares about movies?
Unless it's rotten out of the bottom line, for example, "Thorn Tomb"...
"Thorn Tomb" is really rotten and disgusting!
Zhao Jinsong shut up, he knew that his boss liked Zhou Jielun very much, and discussed his idol in front of a fan, except for saying good things and conforming to him, any truth would be refuted.
Otherwise, the YY live broadcast room of Sword Network 3 would not have spent two hours arguing with XX fans.
The time is short, and I really can't fight people!
......
The whole hall is arranged in buffet mode, with rectangular tables with various foods, a long table on the left, and several salons on the right, separated by beaded curtains.
There were about 100 people at the scene, all of them gathered together in twos and threes, not necessarily friends, raising their eyebrows and pursing their lips, all of which were a complete set of formulas for exchanging contacts.
It's also normal, how old Beijing is, maybe they've all met!
Shen Mengxi just appeared, and a bunch of people came over.
There are agents, there are journalists...
It's just to say hello, say 'Congratulations on the big sale of "People in Embarrassment", and then leave a business card or something.
Shen Mengxi also smiled and coped, at least there was nothing wrong with the etiquette.
He doesn't want to have a reputation for playing big names and having a bad temper before he becomes famous...
After taking a glass full of champagne, Shen Mengxi took a sip, and Chen Liming walked over and gave him a big hug: "You are here!"
“... Didn't you say it started at six o'clock, it's only half past five!"
"People are coming a little fast..."The fat man lowered his voice: "I heard that "Vote for Fame" lost a lot, and I didn't hold a celebration banquet..."
"So you're all here?"
"Hmm..."Chen Liming changed his tone: "It's all for you!"
"Me?"
"Everyone knows you have the casting rights for Hollywood blockbusters!"
Shen Mengxi pulled away his hand: "... First, it's not a blockbuster, it can only be regarded as a youth sci-fi film, with an investment of less than $40 million, and second, I only have the right to recommend auditions, and the producer has to decide whether it succeeds or not!"
"And what if you insist on using a certain actor?"
Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes: "Why do I have to insist?"
"So, if you really insist, will they listen to you?"
“... You're thinking too much..."
"I'll just ask, I want to know how much power you have to say. ”
“... I, like the third master and Yang Shoucheng, belong to the producers of the Greater China region..."Speaking of this, Shen Mengxi reacted: "By the way, is the third master here?"
"Not yet..."The fat man continued to hug him enthusiastically: "I'll take you to meet someone!"
"Who?"
"You'll know when you get there!"
"Mysterious God, you're getting more and more annoying now!"
scolded him, but Shen Mengxi still followed him to the booth area...
