Chapter 2: How Much Money Do I Have? (1/5)
The original work of "Sunburn Heart" "Sunspots" is a long story, with a total word count of nearly 180,000, which can be adapted into a TV series!
Trying to make such a long movie script is a lot of work in itself.
Also, this movie, Lu Xiaoran is mainly used to win awards, box office or something, it doesn't matter, it's better to be able to return to the cost, it doesn't matter if you can't return to the cost.
The husky said that "Scorching Sun" brushed three Golden Goblet Awards for Best Actor...
Although the Golden Goblet Award is a bit Low, it is also an A-class film festival, so it's not a shame to say it!
At least it can appease the bunch of career fans...
……
"Big Man" ended filming last month, and Lu Xiaoran gave herself two months off.
It can't be said that I took a vacation and gave myself two months to receive related martial arts training.
"Lone Agent" really wants to show the action, he doesn't want to be done by a stand-in, how embarrassing it is to pass it out?
Train eight hours a day and have one day off on Saturdays.
If there is anything in the company, just go directly to the gym downstairs to report to him.
The biggest thing recently is that "Avatar" has swept the film industry, winning a record box office of 1.378 billion yuan, which is equivalent to every Chinese contributing a dollar to the box office!
directly tripled last year's film history record!
Cameron has been silent for 12 years and has delivered a result that amazes the world - the global box office is 2.754 billion US dollars, once again rewriting the global film history record!
Some people say that high-grossing commercial blockbusters use special effects to please and stimulate the audience.
This point of view is not entirely correct, as the world's highest-grossing film, it is more difficult to grasp word-of-mouth than ordinary movies.
As long as there is a little unsatisfactory shortcoming, it will be infinitely magnified.
The story of "Avatar" itself is too old-fashioned, so it has been commented by many netizens as 'gorgeous in form and empty in connotation'...
After a hundred years of development, film has undoubtedly branched into two paths:
One is to explore the connotation and essence of art and human society;
The other is innovative technology that allows movies to deliver a more powerful audiovisual experience.
The two paths complement each other and also constrain each other.
However, for the director, it is enough to be able to shoot a love epic like "Titanic" and a sci-fi masterpiece like "Avatar" in his life.
And commercial films earn high box office, which is justified in itself!
It's just that this 1.378 billion is still a bit jaw-dropping...
It's an exaggeration...
You must know that in 06, the total box office in the country was only 1.9 billion...
Although many filmmakers are pessimistic, Lu Xiaoran knows that after "Avatar", Chinese films have also begun to develop rapidly.
Besides, he can shoot in 3D, and Chinese filmmakers can shoot too!
On top of that, for Orange Imaging, Orange Ticketing has skyrocketed.
After the first war of "Avatar", the reputation of Orange has risen, and users who originally questioned that Orange is a liar have also become "tap water". After the opening of the backstage seat selection system, the number of connected theaters increased by 150, and major customers such as Ping An Bank, China Merchants Bank, and China Mobile also came to the door.
Orange has grasped the layout and expanded rapidly, with a domestic market share of nearly 40%, a market share of more than 60% in Beijing, and 14 sub-stations have been established in Hangzhou, Nanjing and other cities.
The pavement was directly laid in the three major regions of East China, Central China and South China.
And then, there were not enough funds ...
Some time ago, Shanda exchanged investment information with Orange, and they were ready to invest 200 million yuan, accounting for 40% of the shares, which was the first round of financing.
The condition is that Orange gives up movie ticketing!
Because Shanda has invested in the online ticket network, the online ticket network is engaged in movie ticketing, and the competition is somewhat restricted.
They hope that oranges will expand the business of stadium ticketing and performance tickets.
Zhang Jin reported this matter to Lu Xiaoran, and he was stunned...
, why do you want Lao Tzu to give up the market?
Beijing's market is oranges little by little, and you say that you will give it to the online ticket network?
Reject directly!
……
Ask Sister Zhong if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask about auxiliaries if you don't decide on foreign affairs!
This kind of thing that has to do with the future, of course, will only be huskies.
"I remember Yu Dong said that the film company will work for BAT in the future!"
"Internet companies will fully penetrate the film and television industry chain and deeply participate in all aspects of investment and production, distribution, channel construction, etc., which is an impossible fact, so choose one!"
Lu Xiaoran interrupted him and asked directly, "So... Do you have any suggestions?"
"Actually, BAT, Du Niang has fallen behind, don't think about it, his reputation is too bad, there is no bottom line to make money, and his own model restricts himself..."
"A, Ahri, Jackma is too desperate, after financing, he will kick out the founders and kill many companies, and even many times, he is just for mergers, and he himself has Taobao ticketing..."
"T, Fuji Xun, Brother Xiao Ma has woken up since the tx and 360 wars, and found that you can't finish copying the industry, plus if you get bigger, you will mainly invest in shares, and you have a good reputation. ”
Lu Xiaoran was very curious: "What is the situation between TX and 360?"
“… I don't know, anyway, I know that there was a time when the two of them were on the same page..."
"Okay, I'll call Zhang Jin and ask him to take the initiative to contact TX..."
"Don't... What a shame to take the initiative to contact!"
"Big brother, if you keep burning like this, the orange will be finished, buddy has no money!"
“… You can press the World Cup, I remember Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and Uruguay in the top four of this year's World Cup..."
"That will have to drag on until June..."
"Let's take it first, it's really not good, find someone to borrow some first, anyway, you know rich people. ”
“… Forget it, I'll inject another 50 million... Hey, it's all hard-earned money!"
……
How much money does Lu Xiaoran have?
According to the inventory of the Forbes China Celebrity List, it is 66 million, which is his salary + endorsement fee.
Orange Image, as well as several of his properties, are not among them...
Xiao Luzi has a clear distinction between public and private, and his money is never confused with the money of oranges, in fact, he doesn't even know how much money oranges have, he only knows a rough idea - there will be special financial statements for him every month to see.
In fact, the circulating capital of Orange Imaging is not very large, definitely less than nine figures, because the company's business is laying too fast, one work after another, and several movies will be launched at the same time;
In many cases, the funds have not been returned to the previous project, and the next project will be carried out immediately...
Fortunately, every project is profitable - except for "No Man's Land"...
This is impossible in an ordinary film company, but Orange Imaging is Lu Xiaoran's company, he is the soul of the entire company, and he has absolute appeal.
Basically, what he decides, the people under his hands are only responsible for carrying it out!
Including, drummed out the money-burning machine: Orange Ticketing...
This thing is really burning money, even Zhang Jin is a little desperate, except for advertising expenses, I really can't see a little harvest...
Then, Zhong Lifang returned to China...
