Four movies and two TV series are the fundamentals of Aurora Culture's 2002 project, and the total investment is now estimated at more than 70 million.

Obviously, this is not all of next year's projects. It's just that the new project has not yet been decided.

So at the beginning of the year, you will only have a certain budget left for new projects.

The most profitable project in 2001, "Infernal Affairs", although the total box office so far exceeded 1.1 billion, but because the main North American market box office is sold out, nearly 10 million US dollars at the box office of more than 10 million US dollars.

Coupled with the box office sharing between Asia and the Chinese-speaking world, the total revenue of Aurora Culture on Infernal Affairs is about 250 million.

Excluding production fees and distribution costs, Infernal Affairs' pre-tax gross profit income should be between 150 million and 170 million, which has not yet been accurately calculated due to the fact that the final settlement has not yet been made in the Japanese, South Korean and Southeast Asian markets.

If you remove 15% of the director's share. The total revenue of the Infernal Affairs movie is about 120 million to 140 million.

This is a pretty good result compared to others. In this way, plus the concert was held, and the income from the release of Han Hong and Zhao Kun's records.

Aurora Culture's total income in 2001 basically reached nearly 200 million, so the current Aurora Culture is not short of money.

As long as there are good projects, you can get on it.

Of course, if you want to talk about the total budget of Aurora Culture in 2002.

That's not enough money alone.

Now the plate of Aurora culture has become very large. In terms of movies and TV series, there are now more than 70 million budgets.

The goal of the construction of Qionghai Film and Television Base this year is to complete most of the construction of the first phase of the project, and the overall estimated budget should exceed 100 million.

The total budget of the two TV channels of Qionghai Satellite TV is currently planned according to a plate of 80 million.

Counting the company's operation must be fixed, just these few things, there is already an expenditure plan of more than 300 million yuan next year.

If you rely entirely on your own funds for development, it is impossible to maintain such a high-speed pace of development.

Therefore, the company's finance has opened up a variety of financing channels.

The construction of Qionghai Film and Television Base, because it is an infrastructure investment in hardware, except for the initial capital from Aurora Ventures, the rest of the construction funds are loans.

Part of the loan is from the local bank in Qionghai for foreign projects. Some of the commercial loans were obtained from banks on the Hong Kong side.

Among the investments in movies and TV series, 1/3 of the investment is borne by Aurora Ventures.

For the Super Girl project with a total budget of up to 50 million, Aurora Ventures also undertakes 40% of the funding needs.

After this sharing, there is still more than a month's surplus in the capital budget of Aurora Culture's account, of course, this is static, and the income of Aurora Culture in 2002 has not been calculated.

So on the whole, even in 2002 there were several big projects launched. In terms of funding, Aurora Culture is still very secure.

At least the existing projects can be carried out in an all-round way. Of course, there is still a big tail, and there is no budget conclusion yet.

That is, the budget for Xingye's latest movie has not yet come out. Starting from "Shaolin Football", Xing Ye's movies are more expensive than the other, which is a real big production.

But there is a reason why it is expensive. Xing Ye's movies really don't lose much money.

After Liu Ruoyi, Zhao Shaodong and Chu Luo went through the 2002 total estimate, they felt that there was no big problem. This matter will be counted after the three shareholders have said it.

So that's it.

After finishing this matter, Zhao Shaodong proposed another matter.

"Annie, Luo Shao, the cast of this movie "Meteor Garden". It has not yet been confirmed.

According to my thinking, we will use all the newcomers this time, and find a group of newcomers who sign up for our company to play the starring roles. It's just the actors, how do we find these suitable candidates?"

After fully entering the company's management and operation, Zhao Shaodong and Chu Luo began to manage some specific things and make decisions on the main direction.

Take on the responsibility of a business manager.

"I've thought about it. We auditioned in the film academy in the mainland. Liu Ruoyi replied.

"If possible, I would like all four main male protagonists to be chosen from among the freshmen. Create a new batch of idol students for our company. ”

"I agree with Annie. There is no shortage of actor resources in the mainland, and with such a large population base of acting students, it is no problem to find a few people. Chu Luo nodded in agreement.

"Then Chu Dashao will take the lead in this matter. Annie and I helped to check the checks and participate in the final selection of candidates. ”

The affairs of the mainland belong to Chu Luo, and the affairs outside the mainland are generally in the hands of Zhao Shaodong. This division of labor is actually very clear.

Liu Ruoyi is generally only responsible for making ideas, not dealing with specific things, and is a veritable brain of Aurora Culture.

So far, the mechanism is working very smoothly.

"Okay. Tomorrow I'll have them put up ads in various film schools. Chu Luo readily agreed.

Whether it is Liu Ruoyi, Zhao Shaodong and Chu Luo, they have always done things cleanly.

Upward and downward imitation, which is also the mainstream style of Aurora Culture, has become a part of the corporate culture.

"Then the heroines of the movie "Meteor Garden" are our two little girls?" Zhao Shaodong then asked.

In the movie "Next Stop Diva", the performance of the two T2 sisters is remarkable. Now the box office is also very good after its release, which is ideal.

Of course, Zhao Shaodong hopes to make persistent efforts to make these two people popular.

"I don't think it's a problem, just the two of them. It's just that who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role still has to be discussed with them, and then they will see who is suitable with the director. ”

Liu Ruoyi also thinks that it is ideal to push these two little sisters out, after all, these are the two newcomers promoted by it.

"Speaking of the director, who has not yet been determined in this movie?" Zhao Xiaodong has been paying attention to this matter, so he has a comprehensive grasp of all kinds of details.

"Annie, who do you think is more suitable to be the director of this movie?

"Didn't you say last time that there was a new director? ”

Liu Ruoyi remembered that Cathy had mentioned it, but the company didn't follow up. So now there is no result.

"With the company's current strategy, we have to start using our own people as much as possible. At that time, the director had not signed into our company. The specific situation may not be clear until Senior Sister Liu Yang?" Chu Luo did not have a clear understanding of this matter.

But this is not a big deal, and it will be clear if Senior Sister Liu Yang comes over and asks about the situation in a while.
