Chapter 937 - Efficient and Safe!
"Leopard Gate only signed an agency contract and did not involve financing, so Leopard Gate does not have any legal responsibility. "Of course Richard knows what's going on with Jaguar Pictures, but in fact, for him, for Leopard Gate, it's just a business.
He didn't see anything wrong with it.
After all, Leopard Gate Pictures has made quite a lot of money in this project.
"Really, Richard, I really can't imagine that such irresponsible words came from the CEO of Leopard Door Pictures, or that Leopard Door Pictures has decided to give up the Chinese market?" Nami said sarcastically.
"It's just normal business, of course, we'll warn Jaguar Pictures about it, that's all. Richard shrugged his shoulders in disapproval.
"Then, it may be difficult for all the films invested by Leopard Gate Pictures to enter the Chinese market. Nami said with a sharp gaze.
"It's not up to you!" Richard said with a frown.
"But you know, that's probably going to happen, isn't it?" said Nami without flinching.
Richard is finally not so calm anymore, and the Huaguo market is becoming a market that no one can ignore, including Leopard Gate.
Leopard Gate is considered to be the top existence among second-tier film and television companies in North America, but even Hollywood giants are committed to opening up the Chinese market, and Leopard Gate is certainly no exception.
It's just that this time, Leopard Gate has made a lot of profits from it, so he said that, but the person in front of him is the CEO of Legendary Pictures, although Legendary Pictures can only be regarded as medium-sized in North America, and it is a lot worse than Leopard Gate.
But why Legendary Pictures was able to fight its way out of the xenophobic Hollywood film and television companies is not because Legendary Pictures is strong enough, but because Legendary Pictures is backed by the Soaring Court Group.
The giants need the Chinese market, so they will tolerate the development of Legendary Pictures in North America and do not make a dead hand.
After all, to enter the Chinese country, the film first needs to pass the review, and although the Lingxiao Group may not be able to help them pass the review more easily, but if the Lingxiao Group, the head snake of the Chinese country, wants to stop it, or if it wants to make trouble, then it should not be too easy.
This is enough to prove the influence of the Sky Court Group.
Of course Richard knows.
"I don't understand, why would Legendary Pictures care about this?" asked Richard, frowning.
"Because Soaring Court Group is the parent company of Legendary Pictures, because my boss is Chinese, and because "Aerial Showdown" has affected my boss's new business in China, so, Richard, I think Leopard Gate is willing to reach a cooperation with Legendary Pictures and Soaring Court Group. ”
"My boss has a new company, a third-party investigative company, and a company that can help find funding for projects that lack funding, and of course, everything is based on normal business cooperation. If Leopard Gate Pictures lacks funds, we can help, and the conditions are very superior. Nami said.
That's the stake!
Is there a shortage of funds? Definitely, the current film movement is hundreds of millions of costs, not including publicity and distribution costs, even if it is a second-tier top company like Leopard Gate, it also needs to find someone to share the risk.
It's just that the giants are not so cheap.
But it would be wonderful if there was a steady source of financing.
"I'll get the press officer to make a clear message about the relationship between Leopard Gate and projects like "Aerial Showdown"!" Richard compromised, or rather, Nami had given more than that.
In fact, for Richard, it doesn't matter if he announces this kind of thing or not, but if it is announced, it will be wonderful to be able to obtain a stable financing channel.
As a result, Leopard Gate Pictures quickly held a press conference to announce the true relationship between Leopard Gate and projects such as "Air Decisive Battle".
And after the news reached Huaguo, it was quickly detonated.
When a scam was exposed, naturally some people rejoiced and some cried, and many people who had previously subscribed to the investment wanted to cry without tears.
Because after the press conference of Leopard Gate Pictures, the jaguar company was empty, and the funds had long been transferred through various means.
And what is left is a piece of chicken feathers!
And about this scam, the domestic media have reported and disclosed.
Chen Taiqun and Jin Ming also had palpitations, almost, almost, his 150 million was about to be lost.
At the same time, Chen Taiqun received a call from Longteng Consulting, and asked Xifeng Investment to participate in a project financing negotiation.
And this financing project, from the real Leopard Gate Pictures, is a low-cost film.
The action movie "Revenge" led by Leopard Gate Pictures has a total investment of 30 million US dollars and plans to raise 15 million!
According to the proportion of investment, of course, it is limited to the box office revenue share.
The conditions are indeed harsh, even very unequal, after all, everyone knows that in North America, a film accounts for less than a third of the box office revenue.
However, Leopard Gate Pictures said that investors were allowed to send financial overseers, and the share was also a direct share, not a profit share.
In this regard, Chen Taiqun has expressed his great satisfaction, this kind of investment is likely to not be able to obtain too high profit returns, but investment is risky, but if this risk can be controlled in normal operation, it is already a very good investment.
As a result, the two sides quickly reached a cooperation under the coordination of Longteng Consulting.
For Leopard Gate Pictures, how much is the box office share of the movie? The real income comes from other aspects, such as DVDs, such as TV broadcast rights, network broadcast rights, and so on.
Although this kind of film has limited peripheral industries, there will also be some benefits.
It's almost impossible to get such an investment in North America, but it's possible from China.
Many people may ask, since you know that there are many investors in Huaguo who are willing to invest, why not leave Longteng Consulting and find investment by yourself?
This involves a credibility issue, Leopard Gate Pictures may have a good reputation, but after the projects of the Jaguar Company, the credibility of North American film and television companies in the domestic investment circle has almost been reduced to an extreme.
And with Longteng Consulting, it is different, although Longteng Consulting will charge about 10% of the intermediary fee, but it is worth the money, because Longteng Consulting is backed by Lingxiao Pavilion Group, foreign film and television companies, as long as they want the Chinese market, it is impossible to offend the private film and television overlords of Huaguo because of this small profit.
After all, how much money is the box office profit?
At the same time, if this stable financing channel can be maintained, it will be the most perfect cooperation.
In fact, Yang Tianqi finally tasted the taste of having a backing behind him.
If this kind of thing is not backed by Lingxiao Pavilion Group, it will not be possible to do it at all, and the development of other domestic film and television giants in North America has not improved, and the same comparison with Lingxiao Pavilion has no advantages at all.
