Chapter 115: The net profit of Journey to the West

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Liu Ruihua replied directly this time: "Yes, I want to transfer the shares, and then leave the market." ”

"Chenyin Company directly bought Chenguang Film and Television with a debt of 3 billion last time, and I guess you are in urgent need of development now, so you should be interested in Starry Sky Culture. ”

Lu Chen thought to himself, sure enough, this guy did see the right time.

To be honest, investing in Star Culture is very helpful to Chenyin, Star Culture has many potential artists, but these artists have no room for development, because there are not many content resources of Star Culture, basically artists with acting skills can only participate in variety shows, and then occasionally come out to show up a few times to bring goods to eat.

Lu Chen said: "Dong Liu, although I am indeed interested in Star Culture, I just don't know how many shares you have, if I want shares in Star Culture, at least I can achieve absolute control." ”

Only when the shares account for the majority can he control the company, otherwise he is just an investor, Lu Chen doesn't want to be a simple investor, so it is useless for him to win the starry sky culture.

Liu Ruihua replied: "I have 25 percent of the shares in my hands, and Dream Country has 35 percent of the shares, I believe that Dream Country should give up these 35 shares this time, and Lu Dong can accept them all at that time." ”

Lu Chen thought about it, if he could accept the shares in the hands of these two major shareholders, he would have sixty percent of the shares, and the Star Culture was basically controlled by them, but how could he guarantee that the thirty-five percent of the shares of the Dream Country would be given to him, and what if the Dream Country transferred their shares in the Star Culture to someone else?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "What if the thirty-five percent of the shares of the Dream Country are not given to us?"

Liu Ruihua replied: "I can help you ask about this tomorrow." ”

"Dream Country is selling its assets recently, and most of the Star Culture are not particularly good artists, and it is difficult to sell the shares of Dream Country. ”

Hearing Liu Ruihua's words, Lu Chen thought for a while, Liu Ruihua was right, the position of Star Culture is a little embarrassing, large film and television groups like Lu Ying and Shimei don't look down on this kind of small company, and small and medium-sized film and television companies are not very interested in them, first, this company does not have particularly good artists, and second, they do not have so many content resources to support these artists.

Liu Ruihua's plan over the years has been a bit biased, signing a bunch of potential artists, but as a result, there are no resources in hand, so these artists have nothing to do all day long, eat and drink for nothing, and the funds given by the dream country were quickly burned out.

Liu Ruihua even expects that there are large companies that can take a fancy to the artists of Star Culture, and then dig the foot of the wall, and then Liu Ruihua can use the contract to knock those big companies out.

How can those big companies look up to companies that think like this?

Lu Chen said: "That's it, Liu Dong, you go and help me ask first, ask the price first, if the price is relatively low, we can consider it, you also know that our Chenyin Company is still carrying debts that have not been repaid." ”

"Okay, I'll go back today and ask for you. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen took out his business card, handed it to Liu Ruihua and said, "Liu Dong, this is my business card, if there is any news, you can contact me immediately." ”

"Okay, that's it for today. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ruihua stood up, and then left Chenyin's company.

After he left, Lu Chen returned to the office, at this time Shiyin was still slumped on the sofa, Lu Chen smiled and didn't say anything, she has worked hard in the past few days, and it is time for her to rest.

After a while, Cheng Ming walked in, and then said: "Lu Chen, it's almost two months, let's calculate the general account of the box office of Journey to the West, do you want to report it directly?"

Since "Journey to the West" was broadcast in this world, the response has been very good, and every time Chenyin Company announces the box office results, it can make this movie a hot search on the Internet last time.

In this world, a good movie generally has a two-month release period, and of course, a bad movie can only be thrown online after being released in the cinema once at most.

Under normal circumstances, it takes several months for a movie to be released to the box office, Lu Chen's movie was originally released online, and there was no time that needed a few months to distribute the box office, but according to the requirements of the Film and Television Bureau, before the new regulations came up, Lu Chen's movie still had to go according to the traditional movie release process.

Although the movies on the Internet will increase with time, the box office will also increase, but the more time passes, with the publicity efforts, the popularity goes down, and the fewer people will buy tickets, so the Film and Television Bureau only needs Lu Chen's box office data for the first two months to calculate taxes and film special funds.

After hearing Cheng Ming's words, Lu Chen glanced at the computer screen, and then asked, "What is the net profit?"

Cheng Ming said directly: "I just asked about finance, and the net profit is about 3.5 billion. ”

Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this number, although he already knew through the box office that they could make a lot of money this time, but when he heard this number, he still didn't react.

Lu Chen: They are movies that are released on their own channels, so they need to pay only taxes and a special fund for films.

You must know that in this world, the tax on cultural products is particularly high, and if they can have a net profit of 3.5 billion, there is no doubt that they are betting right, and the bet is successful.

Cheng Ming continued to ask at this time: "How much do you plan to use to pay off your debts?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then replied, "Let's pay back one billion first, and we have more important things to do if we leave two and five billion." ”

"In this way, let's report to the Film and Television Bureau first, and pay the taxes and the special fund for film as soon as possible. ”

Once the box office is settled, the online box office of "Journey to the West" will be sold later, and the film fund will not be paid again, and the tax collection will also follow the company's tax, and the tax is not as high as the movie, so for Lu Chen, the sooner the settlement is the better.

"Okay, then I'll report the data immediately,"

After speaking, Cheng Ming left Lu Chen's office.

Shi Yin asked at this time, "Lu Chen, what are you going to do with the remaining two and five billion?"

Lu Chen: The movie they are currently preparing to make is a low-budget movie, and it will definitely not use 2.5 billion, maybe not even 100 million, so what are they going to do with so much money, wouldn't it be better to pay off their debts at this time.

Lu Chen thought about it and replied, "Investment." ”

"Investment?"

Shi Yin asked suspiciously, "What to vote for?"

Lu Chen replied with a smile: "What else can you cast, of course, it is the projection industry." ”
