Chapter 271: Showdown (1/5)
"Five hundred million... Could it be too much?"
“… No, in order to tie up with tomorrow, Lao Ma can only pinch his nose and admit it!"
The 27th series of private finance, tomorrow's department ranks the boss!
The total assets of financial institutions controlled by Mr. Xiao have exceeded 3 trillion yuan.
Don't talk about Lu Sibai, even the richest man in Ma is not enough to see!
Culture China is a penny stock - the stock price has been hovering between HK$0.3-0.4 per share for a long time.
Xu Zheng: "I'm worried that you will make too many shots and cause the stock price to fluctuate!"
"That's... That's right, I'll buy 50 million, and when Ahri Pictures goes public, I can cash out directly and improve my life!"
"Change... Improving lives?"
"Ma Yun can cash out to improve her life, why can't I?"
Ning Hao smiled helplessly...
There is no reason to refute it.
Xu Zheng is more concerned about the actual income: "How many times can it be multiplied?"
"Anyway, it can be increased by five or six times... That's enough for me to buy a house and rent five ALEXA 65s and IMAX2D cameras!"
The ARRI Alexa 65, known as the most powerful camera on the planet, is currently only available as a professional service package with ARRI Rental, and the rental price is 50,000 dollars a month...
Lu Xiaoran explained: "If I want to shoot "Detective Chinatown", I must use high-end photography..."
"Why?"
"There are such good cameras in the world, why not use them?"
"Detective Chinatown" has not yet started filming, the project has only been revealed, and the advertising sponsorship has already reached 120 million - and it is a carefully selected customer.
Filming this scene, if you use low-end equipment, it will cost 50 million at most...
If you have money, of course you have to waste it!
Photography equipment is upgraded across the board!
Forced to do 80 million!
"You're awesome!"
"How's that,?"
"Okay, you said it all, then let's buy 50 million each?"
“… Well, don't be too greedy. ”
Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you want to talk to Dong Ping?"
“… It's better not to say it, after all, we are ready to get a vote and leave, if they use our reputation to hype, there must be a bunch of unknown shareholders who are attracted in, we cash out and leave, what should shareholders do?"
Ning Hao: "You don't have confidence in Ahri Pictures?"
"Internet thinking and movies are completely opposite, the so-called use of Internet thinking to make movies, is to use the popular "big IP" on the Internet to carry out an image transformation, turn online readers into movie audiences, and then with the help of platform and channel advantages, the marketing with Internet thinking to produce mobile phones, round of marketing. No one cares that the life of a movie lies in originality, and when you can make a lot of money by taking a sheep, no one has the patience to focus on originality from the script stage. ”
"A few of us make films, in addition to making money, more to express, or to explore... Do you think they're going to invest $150 million in a purely original movie like Gravity? If the director wasn't me!"
"With $150 million, they'd rather invest in Marvel! Anyway, capital knows no borders, as long as they can make money!"
……
The four of them talked for a long time.
The conversation turned to the upcoming "Moon"...
Ning Hao: "I don't know how much box office "Moon" can have!"
“… Judging from the current discussion, even if you can't beat "Shendu Dragon King", it won't be too bad, so let's smash the pre-sale first. ”
"What about North America?"
"Huashi contacted 400 movie theaters to open paintings, and the box office is not easy to say, after all, this is the first Chinese science fiction film, and the gimmick is enough!"
Ning Hao was surprised: "There is no limit?"
"There are no restrictions, maybe Huashi has a good voice in recent years!"
The so-called restriction means restricting the login of mainstream theaters, not the restriction level - the "Ip Man" series will open in 110 theaters at most in North America, because the mainstream theaters refuse...
"But don't expect too much of a box office hit in North America, 'Moon' is a niche film in its own right. ”
"I know, I just wanted to feel the space station of the studio..."
"But with Brother Bo here, I think there can be 300 million anyway!"
Xu Zheng smiled: "Huang Bo now has a nickname, Huang Sanyi, that is, he starring, the box office is at least 300 million!"
Bo Ge grinned: "There are no 300 million in "Hunting"..."
"This theme is too boring, if it weren't for Brother Bo's performance, it is estimated that it would be tens of millions at most. ”
"Lao Xu, don't you have any plans to continue filming?"
"Ahem..."Xu Zheng coughed, and then said: "Yes, I plan to shoot "Hong Kong" in the second half of next year!"
"What's the embarrassing method?"
"This time's theme is dating your first love..."
"It's good, mid-life crisis, and then I encountered a bunch of embarrassing things, and I repented?"
“… That's pretty much it. ”
“… Then you don't need Huang Bo this time?"
"No need, just give me Baoqiang!"
“… I don't have any requirements for casting, you can do it yourself. ”
Xu Zheng gritted his teeth: "I don't want to get paid this time..."
"Pure sharing?"
"Yes!"
"Yes, screenwriter, director, starring... I'll give it to you at 30 percent!"
Xu Zheng was a little disappointed, but still nodded.
"In fact, in addition to the 'Embarrassment' series, you can also discover some projects by yourself and hand them over to Orange for distribution. ”
“… I want to release it myself... Co-issuance will do the trick!"
Lu Xiaoran looked at him deeply, and then said, "... Let's issue it jointly!"
……
Publishing in China is different from North America.
As long as you are famous, you can control a work.
Cinemas are willing to believe you!
Why can't North America?
North America is a split line system, we are not, the so-called split line system, you can sign an exclusive agreement - except for the films released by the six major releases, films distributed by other companies are not allowed to be released!
Therefore, Huashi can only affect 1,200 theaters at most...
There are more than 5,000 theaters in North America!
Of course, if you have enough confidence in your movie, it will be released in 1200 theaters, and then as the revenue increases, the theaters will still open up to you for bad news.
Therefore, the highest number of theaters in "The Conjuring" has reached 2,500...
DreamWorks doesn't dare to play like this, first of all, its movies are all big investments, and they need to be opened on a large scale!
Secondly, do you dare to guarantee that every work can be blessed by word of mouth?
What about China?
Once the movie is released, it will be a national opening!
Moreover, just like the auxiliary device said: Xu Zheng himself is already an IP, if he is shameless, he can completely throw off the orange and make "Hong Kong Embarrassment" alone... And then cooperate with major mainstream cinemas...
The theater chain doesn't care if you infringe or not, let's talk about it after it's released first, as for the lawsuit?
A dozen is half a year, and you will be compensated with a maximum of five million...
However, Xu Zheng obviously didn't dare to do this, Orange and Lu Xiaoran were not Wuhan Huaqi...
If he dared to shake off the orange, it was hard to say what Lu Xiaoran would do in a fit of anger.
So, he retreated to the next best thing and co-issued ...
And I didn't ask for more shares.
