Chapter 48: The first investment is finalized

"Mr. Lin, the Mekong project, originally led by Bona Films, followed by Huaxia Pictures and Tianhua Pictures, the original film production cost was 120 million, and the initial budget for post-publicity was 20 million, Bona Films led the investment of 70 million to undertake production and distribution, Huaxia Pictures followed the investment of 20 million, Tianhua Pictures followed the investment of 50 million, and the latter two films only undertook the production. ”

Lin Qian's words have all said this, Lin Xian supernaturally can't hide it anymore, and told the actual total investment of the whole movie, and at the same time took out the investment letter of intent he signed with Bona, Huaxia and Tianhua from his briefcase.

Li Xiaoman took these letters of intent and looked at them carefully, and then bowed slightly to Lin Qian, saying that there was nothing wrong with these letters of intent for investment.

Lin Qian was a little smacked, the production cost plus the distribution totaled 140 million, but in the last life, it was blown into a big production of 200 million, which was a full 60 million in the middle, which is really a bit big.

"As a result, you also know that there was a problem on the side of Tianhua Pictures, and now there is a gap of 50 million, this time I asked your company to pull investment, I have said hello to Bona and Huaxia, and both have agreed, if you take over Tianhua Pictures to fill the gap of 50 million, the share of Tianhua agreed by the three will be transferred to Mr. Lin Your Eggshell Media. ”

"Since Bona is responsible for production and distribution, Bona's share will be 55% of the filmmaker's share, of which 50% is the investment share, the extra 5% is the distribution share, and the remaining 45%, if the final box office of the film exceeds 1 billion, I as the director will have a 3% share, if the box office is only 1 billion, I will not take the share. ”

Lin Xianchao didn't speak quickly, but Lin Qian and Li Xiaoman listened quietly.

In fact, Lin Qian really doesn't know how to divide it, but with Li Xiaoman, a professional, Lin Xianchao wants to take Lin Qian and them as the wronged leader, which is obviously unlikely.

The director's share is enough with Lin Xianchao's status, and there is also a premise guarantee of 1 billion box office, which is very reasonable and the share is acceptable.

"If the box office exceeds one billion, I will take 3% of the filmmaker's share, Bona Film will take 54%, Huaxia Film will take 12%, and Eggshell Media will take 31% of the share, if the box office does not exceed one billion, Bona Film will take 55%, Huaxia Film will take 13%, and Eggshell Media will take 32%. ”

"That's what we originally set for the share ratio, which is completely based on the market's share. ”

Lin Xianchao said very sincerely.

Lin Qian saw that after Lin Xianchao finished speaking, he did not reply immediately, but turned his head to look at Li Xiaoman.

Li Xiaoman took the mobile phone calculator at this time and briefly calculated a few data, and then bowed slightly to Lin Qian: "This share is okay, Director Lin is quite sincere, Bona doesn't want much distribution share, such as those films of Huaying, some can even ask for 8%. ”

Lin Qian nodded, then looked at Lin Xianchao and said, "Director Lin, what if the budget is not enough and additional investment is needed?"

"If the pre-production cost is not enough, or the post-publicity is not enough to require additional investment, Mr. Lin will have the right of first refusal, if the three film companies have no willingness to follow-up, they will introduce the rest of the film investment, but I think there should be no problem, we have repeatedly calculated the budget in the early stage, 140 million is enough. ”

Lin Xianchao immediately responded with a smile.

Lin Qian nodded, and then did not reply, but thought about it, and the fingers of his right hand lightly tapped the tabletop, showing a thoughtful expression.

Well......

Lin Qian pretended.

Lin Qian, who knows how the box office of this movie will be in the future, of course knows that this movie will definitely make money, and he still needs to think about it.

The main reason is that if he agrees too quickly, it will be a little unprofound, so Lin Qian decided to pretend for a while.

Seeing Lin Qian thinking, Lin Xianchao was a little nervous.

Whether this 50 million investment can be pulled depends on whether this master can nod, and whether it will be successful or not is all in the other party's thoughts.

"Mr. Li, what do you think?"

About a few minutes later, Lin Qian turned his head very forcefully, and asked Li Xiaoman lightly.

"Mr. Lin, there is no problem with the sharing and investment amount of this project, if Mr. Lin thinks that this project is worth investing, my opinion is that you can invest. Li Xiaoman responded competently.

When Lin Qian heard this, he bowed slightly, and then said lightly: "Since this is the case, then vote." ”

It was as if they were not talking about 50 million, but only 500,000.

Hearing Lin Qian's words, Lin Xianchao's heart jumped fiercely, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

What had been bothering him for days was finally resolved.

"Director Lin, we will make up for the gap of 50 million yuan, after the movie starts, we won't care about the shooting, but we will send an accounting team to the past, and we need to regularly review the financial expenses of the crew, is this no problem?" Lin Qian asked lightly.

Lin Xianchao immediately responded: "No problem, of course no problem, at that time, the accounts and expenses of the crew and the expenses before the start of filming will be completely open and transparent to you, and you can send someone to check the accounts or send someone to follow the team at any time." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qian nodded with satisfaction.

It is very necessary to send the accounting team to follow the group, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the money is spent on filming or into someone's pocket, and there must still be necessary constraints.

"In that case, let's sign the contract, and we will put the first payment into the crew's account in a few days. ”

Lin Qian took the initiative to speak.

"Good good ......"

Lin Xianchao didn't expect Lin Qian to be so refreshing, and immediately responded, and at the same time, his good impression of Lin Qian continued to rise.

has no shelf, is easy to talk, does not procrastinate, and has no quirky habits, Lin Xianchao looked back on his decades of film experience, and he was stunned that he did not find a better investor than Lin Qian.

Some investors have a big shelf, either good wine, or lustful, want to talk about investment, there is no five, seven or eight business banquets and even doors, and in the end, when it comes to investment, they grind and chirp, sign contracts and procrastinate, and there are not too many bad things.

Next, the parties draw up a contract.

This contract was actually originally prepared for Tianhua Pictures, but it didn't have time to sign it, and now it is just changing Party A to Eggshell Media.

After getting the contract, Li Xiaoman sent the contract to the legal department that had just been dug up yesterday for them to review.

Ten minutes later, after the review was correct, Lin Qian happily signed his name on the contract.

"Mr. Lin, let's take a group photo. ”

After signing the contract, Lin Xianchao said enthusiastically.

"Okay. ”

In fact, Lin Qian also meant this, but he was afraid of affecting his compulsion, so he kept holding back and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Lin Qian agreed, Lin Xianchao called the waiter in.

Lin Qian and Lin Xianchao sit, while Peng Yuyan and Li Xiaoman stood behind the two.

When the waiter who came in saw such a position, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised by Lin Qian's identity.

After taking the photo, the four of them ate for a while, and Lin Qian proposed to end.

After greeting and saying goodbye, Lin Qian and Li Xiaoman took the lead in leaving Xinrongji......
