Chapter 384: The Premiere of "Thai Embarrassment"!(The second more begging for a subscription!Asking for a monthly pass!)
On the afternoon of the 11th, I went back to the capital, went directly to Xu Yanyun's house, rested for a night, and got up early the next day to ask about the company.
"The copyrights you mentioned have all been taken down, although it doesn't cost anything, but the group doesn't have much cash on its books. ”
Dozens of copyrights of various kinds, the more expensive ones are three and a half million, and the cheaper ones are not three or five hundred thousand together with seven or eight copies, which adds up to a lot of money.
Coupled with the salary and year-end bonus in the past few months, Tang An suddenly ran out of money.
Xu Yanyun doesn't understand that Tang An buys so many networks, although "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is a relatively best-seller, but this kind of theme is not easy to pass.
No matter what kind of TV series like "Tomb Robbery Notes" is made, as long as this title is used, it is impossible to broadcast it on TV.
There are also some online fantasy and female romances, although it is not expensive to pack some of them, it is also money.
As the general manager of the group, unlike the previous small workshop, she will not do what Tang An said before now, and often has her own opinions.
But after persuading her several times to no avail, she had no choice but to comply.
"Let's just put it away after talking, I can't use it for the time being, how is the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?" Tang An nodded and asked.
"The script is basically done, and there are still a few episodes left. ”
"Wait for the company to show me, you can just talk about the cooperation with Zheng Xiaolong, give them a 30% share of the investment, and only participate in the first three rounds of sharing. ”
"I have made an appointment with the Beijing TV Drama Art Center to talk, and the other party is willing to accept it, and now I am making a budget evaluation. ”
"Leave these things to Zhuang Liqi, you can follow up, the actor lets Zheng Xiaolong choose by himself, but give priority to our people, Sun Li, Wang Kai, Zhao Liying, see if there are suitable roles. ”
"If it's faster, it is estimated that the project will not be approved in a month, so where will the funds come from, otherwise Huayi's shares will be cashed out partly?" Xu Yanyun suggested again.
"Don't use it first, Huayi's shares will wait for another half a year, and the summer vacation should be able to rise a little more, and if "Thai Embarrassment" hits at the box office a month later, it can also be increased or remortgaged," Tang An shook his head and said.
The same item can be pledged twice, as long as the item appreciates in value at the time of the second mortgage.
"Thai Embarrassment" itself has already borrowed 50 million, and if "The Legend of Zhen Huan" wants to borrow another 50 million, the box office will be at least 350 million. Xu Yanyun couldn't help but persuade.
350 million, there are only three domestic films in China that exceed this number, even if she has confidence in the movies produced by the company, she doesn't believe that there can be such a high box office.
"Don't worry, even if you can't get a loan in the end, you can still cash out the stocks, and wait for the movie to be released. ”
Tang An didn't blame her for being short-sighted, not everyone can predict the prophet.
He can't help it, TV series are much more difficult to get loans than movies now, and TV series are still very cheap now, and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can't borrow much.
It's a movie, and it's easy to get a loan for a top director.
Later, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" borrowed 150 million from Minsheng Bank, and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" borrowed 100 million from Beijing Bank, and the big director was still very popular.
However, this is not just a loan with profits, it is necessary to help banks advertise.
Minsheng Bank held an activity, applying for a credit card to send a movie ticket, and how much bank card consumption received the movie roll.
And most places with posters of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" can see the logo of Minsheng Bank.
For banks, 100 million is just a small number, and what is really valued is Zhang Yimou's influence and how many customers he can bring to the bank.
In a few years, it will be easier to find investment in big IP projects, and even banks will not need them.
Later, Ali launched an insurance product "Entertainment Treasure", which allows netizens to participate in investing in some popular films and games by purchasing this product, so as to obtain income.
The film and television drama is divided into 100 yuan a piece, the game is 50 yuan a piece, and each person is limited to 10 copies of each project, and you can choose the project you are optimistic about.
In 14 years, "Entertainment Treasure" raised 330 million in cash and invested in 12 theatrical films, and the total box office of these 12 films reached 3 billion.
Including "Small Times 3, 4", "Wolf Totem" and other blockbuster movies.
Of course, in the end, it is Ah Riba who makes the most money, and those who buy these insurances also earn, but it is certainly not as high as expected.
You don't have to pay a penny, you need to invest the people's money.
......
At Tang's first group meeting back in Beijing, several other executives also mentioned the company's current lack of liquidity.
"Chairman, at present, the group has invested a total of 200 million yuan in three movies and one TV series, should we slow down first, at least wait for "Thai Embarrassment" to make a profit before starting the project of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". ”
As the chief financial officer, even if Tang An is promoted from the manager of the audit department, she is still responsible for the group's finances.
"Thai Embarrassment" 50 million, "Painted Skin 2" 30 million, "Edge of Tomorrow" 80 million, "The Happy Past of Lao Ma's Family" 30 million.
The investment of 190 million yuan in the four projects is basically from bank loans, and if they all fail, the entire group will almost be finished.
The others had more or less worry on their faces, and in the eyes of any one of them, it was too radical and could collapse at any time.
This is also a very normal idea, if it weren't for Tang An's uncertain prophet, he wouldn't dare to do it.
If you press all your net worth, you won't be a gambler.
If you gamble too much, there will always be a time when you will go bankrupt.
"I also know the concerns of Mr. Wang and everyone, but "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is still going to be filmed, and when the time comes, I will inject part of the shares of Huayi Brothers Media into the group to relieve the pressure on the group, and I hope everyone will work together to get through this time. ”
Tang An didn't insist on going his own way, he dealt with it first, and then there would be no financial worries about the box office explosion of "Thai Embarrassment".
Even if the entire group is his own, if you can't listen to a word of persuasion every time, even if you bet right, the people below will not follow you.
This is not an ancient emperor, you are a dictator and tyrant, and you will be killed if you are disobedient.
People are not happy, who is messing with you, unless there is really nowhere to go.
The reason why they are not too pessimistic is that Tang An has more than 200 million worth of stocks in his hands, otherwise it is estimated that someone will find a good way out for themselves and be ready to change jobs at any time.
Then Tang An dealt with all the things that had accumulated during this time, and listened to some reports from various departments.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the distributors of "Thai Embarrassment" Berner Group and Hantang Group held a premiere ceremony at the Chaoyang store of Berner International Cinema.
Today is the twenty-ninth day of the new year, and tomorrow the thirty o'clock of the Chinese New Year's Eve will be officially released.
Although the flavor of the New Year is still relatively strong, and most people are reunited as a family during the New Year, there are many people who watch movies, and there are also many families who watch movies together, which is very beneficial to movies with the theme of "Thai Embarrassment".
Coupled with the super high reputation of "People in Embarrassment", even people who have not entered the cinema have watched this movie on the computer, and there are not many potential moviegoers.
However, it is impossible to reach the original box office of 1.2 billion, when "Thai Embarrassment" was released, there were 15,000 screens across the country, and now it is only more than 5,500, less than 6,000, nearly three times the difference.
