Chapter 4: 12 million, it's too difficult (new book for collection)
When the enthusiasm recedes, the big question ensues, where will the money come from?
To run a large-scale film and television media company, plus post-production operating funds, how dare you open it without 10 million?
The five people present are all soft rice households, and they usually rely on their wives for their expenses, and they can say that their assets are zero, where can they go to fix this 10 million?
As the chief financial officer, Wang Health is very sensitive to this number, and he first asked a question, "This 10 million is just the beginning, once the filming of film and television, plus operations, etc., requires a lot of funds, just take the first 10 million to calculate, 2 million per person, who can take it? Anyway, I can't get it." ”
The other three began to retreat a little, were they excited just now?
Zheng Fangyuan thought of his wife's current face, he felt a little empty-hearted, this money has not been earned, he wants 2 million, this is like eating gentian, he will definitely not agree.
Zhang Huiming and Fang Zhengming also had the same thoughts, and began to think about whether to forget it?
This is the result of not eating soft rice professionally enough, and I can't get start-up funds from my wife at a critical moment.
Shan Huatang was not surprised, because this was expected, and according to the experience of these four brothers, it was inevitable.
He smiled slightly and asked, "I made a bet with my sister-in-law to earn 2 million a year, and if I can't earn it, I will leave the house, do you dare?"
The four of them were stunned, did they hear it wrong?
"Did you have in your head to make such a bet?"
"Gambling with 2 million and a lifetime of carefreeness, who taught you?"
"I think you have to quit the bet, it's a big loss!"
"Did something happen to you? ”
······
Shan Huatang shook his head, "My relationship with my wife is very good, but there will always be a few people who use me to mock my wife, can you bear it?"
I can't bear it, I want to prove to them that my Shan Huatang has the ability to make money. Just like you, doesn't your wife dislike you for not working and having little income?
In fact, it is a truth, those people are mocking your wife, slapping your wife in the face, can you accept this feeling?
Since we have chosen to eat this bowl of rice, we have to make a face for our wife, otherwise we are still men?
This 2 million represents my determination, if I can't earn it, I'd rather not eat this bowl of rice. ”
The three of them were silent, originally they thought that their wives had changed, but when they heard their brothers say this, it was really like this! It was because of their own inaction that their wives were instigated, but in the end, it was the wives whose reputations were damaged.
Zheng Fangyuan's eyes were red, "Brother, I will definitely pay out of this 2 million." ”
Zhang Huiming is the same, "2 million, it will only be more, not less." ”
Fang Zhengming's palms were clenched, and his joints were white, "Either eat happily or don't eat it, I'll ask for 2 million." ”
In the end, only Wang Jiankang remained, in fact, he didn't want it, but he just needed to sign an agreement, if he wanted the 2 million, he would have to leave the house again, he had to think about it.
Soon, the five of them left separately and went back to their respective homes, and as for the result, it depends on tomorrow.
Before leaving, Shan Huatang taught the three of them the true meaning of asking for money - half sincere and half acting.
At night
in a seaside villa
A man and a woman are arguing over the matter of 4 million.
The man's face was calm, "That's it." ”
The woman would never agree, "No." ”
Seeing that his wife disagreed, Shan Huatang gently hugged her and patted her on the back, "Playing games is to be fair and just, and if I don't need your penny, I will resolutely not ask for your penny." ”
THE PRINCESS WHIMPERED A LITTLE, HOW DID HER HUSBAND BECOME A DIFFERENT PERSON, SO MAN?
"Then if you make money, you will pay me back, if you can't make money, you don't have to pay it back, we still have a good life, okay?"
Seeing the beauty crying, Shan Huatang's heart was warm, his wife in this life loves him so much, so he has to give her a longer face.
"Wait until I get back. ”
After tonight, he will leave here, not earn 2 million, and not come back.
This is the dignity of a man who eats soft rice, and it is also the sincerity of loving his wife.
Early the next morning, Shan Huatang came to the tea room again, he came to wait for a result, if the brothers support, then they will break together, if the brothers do not come, then they will break into the world alone.
He is not thinking about brotherhood, but he believes in the unquenchable fire in the hearts of everyone who eats soft rice.
From eight to nine o'clock, a pot of tea was drunk, and no one came.
At ten o'clock, no one came.
Looking at his watch, Shan Huatang was a little disappointed, he said that it was nine o'clock, it was already ten o'clock, and still no one came, it seemed that he had to go alone on the next road.
Just as he got up and was about to leave, the door of the box was pushed open, and three people walked in one after another, all with joy on their faces, "Brother, do it!"
Shan Huatang smiled happily and stepped forward to have a bear hug with them.
At half past nine, the last person still hadn't arrived, and there were five people yesterday, and there was finally a shortage.
Zheng Fangyuan comforted Shan Huatang, "It's okay, the four of us can do it." ”
As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "What can you do without me?"
Push the door in, and the king is healthy.
Shan Huatang got up and hugged him, "My brother has sacrificed greatly, and I will definitely live up to expectations." ”
Wang Jianxing shook his head, "It's not about sacrifice, it's just a choice, and I will have to bear a lot in the future." ”
Shan Huatang raised his glass, "Let the world see how our five brothers can create a broad world in the entertainment industry!"
This is sincere, in this life, there are four good brothers.
The five brothers gathered together to recall the past and look forward to the future.
······
Five people do the planning, do the integration, except for the one that must be outsourced, and do it themselves.
The start-up capital is 12 million, of which 1.5 million is used to rent a house to start a company, and 3 million is spent on decoration, including the costly decoration of the recording studio, dubbing room, and editing room.
The shooting equipment must be used well, plus spare equipment, Wang Health has understood the market price, and the estimated price is 3 million.
In terms of employees, there are not too many people at the beginning of the opening, only people in important positions, or idlers.
To enumerate, photographers, lighting engineers, editors, sound recorders, planners, stylists, packaging groups, front desk clerks, publicity groups, and business groups are expected to spend 500,000 yuan on salary.
There are 4 million left.
Suppose the first movie starts filming, with two third-tier stars as the starring actors, the salary is estimated at 2 million, plus supporting roles, group performances, costumes, venues, meal subsidies, and other miscellaneous expenses, the investment in making a movie is 3 million yuan.
Then there are 1 million left.
In addition, if the movie wants to be launched in theaters, it still needs to be promoted and distributed, even if it invests 1 million.
If you want to recoup your investment, the box office must reach three times the total investment, that is, 12 million.
But there is no famous new company, no famous screenwriter, no script based on a famous work, only 1 million publicity and distribution fees, and it is very difficult to reach 12 million at the box office.
First of all, many large franchised theaters and directly operated theaters will not broadcast, even if they agree to cooperate, they will only test the waters in some theaters for one day, and more actually have to go to private theaters to talk about cooperation.
Unless the content of the movie is really good and causes repercussions, large theaters will take the initiative to increase the number of films, and if there are more people watching it, it is possible to become a dark horse to rush to the box office and really make money.
In this world, this kind of movie has appeared, but there are very few, and basically they can't break the spell of big investment and top traffic.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a new company to make money from a movie.
