The filming and production budget of "Across the Seas" was originally 120 million, plus 30 million publicity expenses, a total cost of 150 million, and now it has been increased to 165 million.

Dream Media and the newly established DreamWorks Pictures are the main producers, accounting for 80% of the investment, including Luo Kai and Mo Lan's share in the film, and the remaining 20% is divided by five other peer companies and investors.

Even if the background is hard, the behavior of eating alone in the entertainment industry is not welcomed, especially in the film and television industry, joint investment and co-production is the mainstream, which is not only out of the need to share risks, but also the inevitable result of getting a lot of help.

Of course, those who can join in and get a piece of the pie are not ordinary people, and it is not only money that they bring.

Still, if anyone wants to quit at this time, Luo Kai is absolutely willing.

He knows the quality of "Across the Seas" very well.

"No one is going to quit..."

Li Mengru said with a smile: "Even if you make up the interest on them, these guys are all shrewd, your movie can honestly rely on fans to earn back the cost, so they are not so stupid!"

Luo Kai shrugged: "I still want to take more shares." ”

"Think beautifully!"

Li Mengru sneered, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Kai Dong, aren't you going to inspect your new company?"

This morning, Luo Kai and Mo Lan flew back to the capital from Xiangjiang with Niuniu, Li Mengru personally greeted her at the airport, and then after sending Mo Lan and Niuniu to their new home, she roared and pulled Luo Kai into the company.

The registration and establishment of DreamWorks (China) Pictures, because Luo Kai is in Xiangjiang, is all done by Li Mengru and Nie Xiaoqian here.

The headquarters of the new company is also located in the Star Building in the south area of the Art Park, and it is 28 floors higher than Dream Media, but the area is not as large as Dream Media, about 800 square meters.

It's interesting to say, the original tenant here is a financial online loan company, engaged in P2P credit, and I don't know how to mix into the art park, it is said that the scale is quite large, and branches have been opened in many cities.

At the end of last year, the person in charge of this company approached Li Mengru and wanted to ask Luo Kai to endorse their financial products, and offered a very high price.

But Luo Kai didn't want to refuse directly, and he didn't care about the other party's endorsement fee of several million.

At that time, Li Mengru still felt a little pity, but now she is very glad that Luo Kai did not agree, because the online loan company collapsed last month, and the boss absconded with the money, involving a case value of more than a billion yuan.

Due to the delay in rent, the office was naturally taken back by the landlord, and Li Mengru took the opportunity to take it down and transform it into the headquarters of DreamWorks (China) Pictures.

The office area and office of the new company, as well as conference rooms and reception rooms, are all newly renovated, but the manpower of various departments is still being recruited, so there are not many employees now, and the managers in charge of some important positions also need Luo Kai to make decisions.

So it looks a little deserted, but the atmosphere of the new company is not bad, the employees are respectful and enthusiastic when they see the chairman coming, and some want to ask Luo Kai to sign a group photo, but they dare not take the liberty.

On the contrary, Luo Kai was empathetic, took the initiative to take photos with everyone, and encouraged employees to work hard to create a better future together, which made everyone's morale skyrocket.

Li Mengru brought an experienced supervisor from her own company, recruited some experienced employees, and left them with the important task of promoting "Across the Seas" to complete.

This is also an important reason why the promotion of "Across the Seas" has not yet been fully launched.

"Sister Mengru, thank you for your hard work..."

Luo Kai felt very satisfied after "inspecting" the new company, and said to Li Mengru: "I will invite you to dinner with Xiaoqian in the evening." ”

"Save it for the next meal!"

Li Mengru glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up at night, you owe this meal first, and make up for it later, if you really feel guilty, then give me a little more shares in DreamWorks." ”

Luo Kai was refreshing: "No problem, you can say as much as you want." ”

Li Mengru disdainful: "It's better to say than to sing, I don't believe it!"

Luo Kai smiled dumbly: "No kidding, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow, please leave the matter here to you." ”

Today is August 27th, and in a week it will be the day of his engagement to Mo Lan.

The engagement ceremony must be held in the capital, and the parents and relatives of both parties must be present to witness it, so the first major event after Luo Kai returns to Beijing is to go to his hometown to pick up his family, parents and sisters, etc.

Li Mengru asked curiously, "How do you pick up the plane? Will your parents come?"

"Come on..."

Luo Kai said: "And my sister, brother-in-law and sister, we drove there by ourselves, by the way, Niuniu also has to live in your house these days." ”

He was going to take Mo Lan with him.

According to the local customs in his hometown, there is no need to set up wine for an engagement, but now many people will put wine for an engagement, so after discussing it with his parents, Luo Kai decided to invite the old and young masters of the whole village to rub it.

Of course, the gift money will definitely not be accepted.

So Mo Lan must go with him, and there are other things that also require the two of them to be present.

"No problem..."

Li Mengru smiled: "Mengmeng misses her sister a lot, she will go to kindergarten in a few days." ”

The two continued to talk for a few minutes, and because they were still on business, they agreed to meet again in the evening.

Luo Kai went to early summer animation again.

He basically handed over the affairs here to Nie Xiaoqian and Duan Hongrui to manage, but as the chairman, he also needs to brush up his presence from time to time, and boost his morale by the way.

Now Chuxia Animation is already a leader in the domestic animation industry, a "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and a "My Little Pony" have established an unrivaled position, and have also contributed a lot of money to Luo Kai's career, which can be called a cash cow.

The operation of Early Summer Animation and Early Summer Culture is healthy, and there is nothing for Luo Kai to worry about.

However, in the future, the two companies will be merged into the DreamWorks (China) Film Group as high-quality assets, and Luo Kai intends to complete the group's listing within three years.

Of course, this is all for the future, and the most important thing for him at the moment is to get engaged.

The next morning, Luo Kai took Mo Lan on the way home.

There were a total of two cars to go back this time, he drove a Mercedes-Benz himself, and the other business car was driven by Da Lei, who went thousands of miles away to pick up his family to the capital.
