At the beginning of May, halfway through 2011, the company's two TV series started filming successively, and "Detective Chinatown" was almost completed.

The preliminary preparations for "The Martian" have also been successfully completed, and the special effects are still being made in outer space on Mars.

The movie is expected to be officially launched in a week, and Tang An will take a good rest in the past few days and arrange the company's affairs.

In the conference room, one order after another was given.

"Now the group has launched 5 projects at the same time, and has successively loaned 530 million yuan to the bank, and the production department and the financial department must firmly supervise where the money goes......

started 5 film and television dramas at one time, and the investment was not low, basically looking for bank loans.

No matter what industry, any project, money is the top priority.

It's not that Tang An is reluctant to spend money, all the money he earned last year has been spent, but he can't spend unnecessary money, he must warn the people below.

The crew, production department, finance department, and administration department supervise each other to put an end to any greedy behavior.

530 million, even Berner and Guangxian, who have just gone public and raised a lot of money, have not come up with so much money at one time.

That is, Tang An is bold and has absolute confidence in these movies, otherwise he would not dare to play like this.

"The Martian" had a production cost of 150 million + 70 million publicity costs, and borrowed 220 million from the bank.

Tang An's own films, relying on the global box office of more than 200 million US dollars in "Edge of Tomorrow", it is easy to borrow 200 million.

The production cost of "Looking for the Dragon" was 220 million, 150 million was loaned, and 70 million was actually paid.

This film is much more expensive than "The Martian", after all, "The Martian" can be filmed in a month and a half, and "Looking for the Dragon" will take at least three and a half months.

It is unimaginable to spend manpower and material resources just to build a studio of tens of thousands of square meters, and there are only a few interior scenes of "The Martian", and there are not many exterior scenes.

It's not bad that "Looking for the Dragon" can borrow 150 million, if you want to borrow all 220 million, unless Tang An comes to shoot it himself, otherwise the bank will not take such a big risk.

Mediacorp originally wanted to invest in "The Martian", but Tang An only gave "Looking for the Dragon", and the cost of publicity and distribution of up to 300 million yuan discouraged them, and they only acted as an agent for the distribution rights in Asia.

"Detective Chinatown" was filmed with a digital camera, with a production cost of 30 million, a publicity fee of 50 million, and a loan of 80 million.

Although it has the name of an embarrassing series, it is a brand new movie after all, and 50 million publicity fees still have to be spent.

"Why Sheng Xiaomo" invested 35 million, as a modern drama, with a high price of nearly one million episodes, and a loan of 30 million.

"Step by Step" has an investment of 50 million yuan, and the cost of a single integration is 1.25 million.

Because it was a time-traveling drama, taking advantage of the east wind of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", the bank gave a full loan of 50 million.

The single episodes of the two TV series are about one million, and the quality can definitely be guaranteed.

With a loan of 530 million, plus 450 million for 210 houses and 90 million for villas, Tang An now owes a total of 1.07 billion to the bank, and the group still has 220 million in cash.

Before I knew it, I owed the bank 1 billion, which is really fast, and the more I owe, the more I owe.

The cinema chain has also invested 400 million, and nearly 100 cinemas have been built and are under construction, most of which are distributed in second- and third-tier cities and counties, and can bring a little income one after another from the second half of the year, and it will take some time to recover the cost.

Tudou's shares are stable at $150 million, and there is no profit for the time being.

10% of the shares of Poly Wanhe Cinema Line have no dividends for a year, and half of the profits are used for expansion.

"Among these movies, "Looking for the Dragon" was the first to be released, and if you want to do a good job in publicity, you can find Shengda to cooperate with the publicity. ”

"Thai Embarrassment: Detective Chinatown is a brand new version of this embarrassment series, always keeping an eye out for public opinion on the Internet. ”

......

After arranging one thing after another, Tang An then listened to them report some things.

Xu Yanyun opened his mouth and said, "Tang Dong, the screenwriter of "People in Embarrassment" Sheng Tang Studio has a project that needs investment. ”

"What film?"

"It is a romance film, the other party has received an investment of 3 million from Lehua Entertainment, and there is still a gap of 12 million, and the crew has also completed the preparation. ”

The romance film of Shengtang Studio, isn't that "Predecessor Raiders".

As several films invested by the company have become popular one after another, people continue to come to the door with scripts and projects to seek investment.

Tang An nodded, "Let's do an assessment and cost accounting as soon as possible." ”

......

The meeting lasted more than three hours, and Tang An left the company in the afternoon and began to rest at home, occasionally talking to actors and actresses.

Two days later, Tang An received a complete evaluation report on the "Predecessor Raiders".

Without much thought, the investment in this project was agreed.

As for the actors, Tian Yusheng has almost negotiated. There is only one heroine left

The actors under the Han and Tang dynasties have no schedules except for Wan Qian and Zhao Liying, and in the end, they only let Wan Qian play the female number one Xia Lu.

did not forcibly insert people in, and the other three leading actors still let Tian Yusheng choose according to the person he decided before.

Lehua Entertainment invested 3 million, Hantang Media invested 12 million and was responsible for the distribution, and the distribution share became 15%.

The rookie director, starring Han Geng, has low box office appeal, so he naturally has to pay more distribution fees.

The crew had prepared before, signed the contract with the actors within two days, and after another two days, a press conference was held directly, and everything was progressing rapidly.

For a small-budget film, Tang An and Chen Guochang did not go to the press conference, Xu Yanyun herself participated on behalf of the company, and she also bought the script of "People in Embarrassment" from Sheng Tang Studio.

During this year's May Day schedule, only "Guan Yunchang" starring Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen and "A Chinese Ghost Story" starring Liu Yufei and Gu Tianle will be released.

The former broke 100 million in six days, and the start was good.

However, Donnie Yen has been crazy about films in the past two years, most of them have a box office of more than 100 million points, and the reputation of this film is also not good, and it was only 50 million in the second week.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is similar, 75 million in the first week and 40 million in the second week, and the reputation is also not good.

Generally, the box office of a movie with a good reputation in the second week will not be much lower than the first week, or even much higher than the first week, and these two films are almost like this.

"Guan Yunchang" can't reach 200 million, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is estimated to be 150 million.

It is no news that the box office of today's domestic film market has exceeded 100 million, unless it is a small and medium-budget movie.

The popularity of these two movies quickly faded, and at this time, Hantang Media announced the launch of the love movie "Former Raiders", which was still released on Double 11 Singles' Day, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Last year's Double 11 is still vivid.

The director is a newcomer, so it's not surprising that the films invested by Tang An are all newcomer directors.

Several leading actors have also become much more exposed.

A small-budget movie, several major companies don't take it seriously, but Huayi and Teng Huatao are hurting.
