If it is a studio, it is a sole proprietorship, and the personal income tax to be paid is small, so it can only be regarded as a small fight.

If a film and television company is established, it has complete functions and responsibilities, as well as other things such as value-added tax.

If you want to grow the scale, it is imperative to set up a film and television company! Just like the movie "Infernal Affairs", if Yi Shuihan has his own complete film and television company, he does not need to outsource the director, crew, film production, and film distribution to other companies, and can produce it independently.

Zheng Liaoyuan's decision cannot be said to be wrong, if you want to make film your main business, you must have such a transformation.

But is it the right time to make the transition...... Yi Shuihan hesitated.

As it stands, the studio doesn't have the foundation and connections to wade through this troubled waters.

"Wait a little longer......" Yi Shuihan made this decision after a moment of silence, "Now is not the best time!"

Zheng Liaoyuan also nodded, he didn't force this matter at this time.

mentioning it just made Yi Shuihan have a bottom in his heart, after having a development direction, there will always be a day when it can be realized.

"Did the filming of Infernal Affairs go well?" After some casual chat, Zheng Liaoyuan asked the question, and he knew very well what the film meant to the studio.

Yi Shuihan smiled and nodded, thinking about the hard work and hard work in the past few months, and said firmly: "It's good—it's better than I imagined!"

"Then I'm relieved," Zheng Liaoyuan said with a smile: "If this step can be steady, the road in the future will be much easier!"

"Well, as long as the foundation is solid, even if you accidentally fall in the future, it's fine!" Yi Shuihan responded.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as "Infernal Affairs" can open the market, then his next movie will have a good foundation.

"Since you are so confident, what about the box office?" Zheng Liaoyuan joked with a smile.

He also wanted to know what kind of mentality and evaluation Yi Shuihan had for this movie.

At present, the film is still in post-production, and with the publicity, the approximate investment will fluctuate around 110 million.

According to the established market share and expenses, if you want to return to the cost, the box office of this movie must reach at least 350 million!

It's an extremely difficult goal for a studio to reach for the first time in the film industry, but it doesn't seem to be too difficult a goal in terms of the director, cast, and script......

Yi Shuihan smiled, he would think about this question in his spare time, of course he hoped that this movie could break the box office record of 3.2 billion for Chinese films.

But he knew it was absolutely whimsical, no matter how well the film was made.

Not all good movies can get a super high box office, it also depends on the schedule of the theater, the time of release, the promotion of the movie, the film critic's film reviews, the movies and competition in the same period, and other factors, and sometimes even linked to the social background.

This is the uncertainty of the film industry, and there are countless companies that make movies that don't think they can make money so much money, but in the end, they lose all their money.

But if you want to talk about losses, Yi Shuihan will never be so arrogant, if even this "Infernal Affairs" loses money, then he will not try to invest in movies in the future, just act in movies obediently.

"I can't judge ...... accurately before I see the finished film" Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "But I estimate it conservatively...... This movie will gross, at least more than a billion!"

"No kidding?" Zheng Liaoyuan asked in surprise with wide eyes, one billion - if there is really such a high box office, then this movie is definitely a big hit, and Yi Shuihan also said that it is a conservative estimate......

"No kidding!" Yi Shuihan said categorically.

"Okay!" Zheng Liaoyuan said with some excitement: "If that's the case, we can stand firm!"

"But ......" Zheng Liaoyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "I just don't know if Yongcheng Media will stumble, you must know that they are still very influential in this circle!"

Yi Shuihan frowned, and said after a while: "It shouldn't be...... Maybe it can't be done, although Fang Xiangrui, who we offended, is the young leader of Yongcheng Media, but he is not the principal after all, such a large group will not let him do anything, and this is a personal grudge after all, and he will not spend so much effort to deal with me without a conflict of interest. ”

"Well, that's right," Zheng Liaoyuan thought for a while and agreed: "What we need to pay more attention to is the Poseidon Group!"

Poseidon Group?Yi Shuihan's brows furrowed slightly, this has to be really noticed.

Because of Liu Ruwei's relationship, he has a deep contradiction with Li Kang of Poseidon Group.

And this time, "Infernal Affairs" just collided with the other party's "Prison Storm".

The road is narrow, and it is a similar competitive movie, so it is impossible not to have conflict.

From the beginning of the new film press conference, the two films began to compete against each other.

Because of the relationship between the lineup and investment, before that, "Infernal Affairs" was overpowered by "Prison Storm".

During the filming, the competition between the two films became more and more fierce, and for now, "Infernal Affairs" is still at a disadvantage.

Yi Shuihan believes that the final quality is the real competition, but if it is crushed too much in the early stage of release, it will have a great impact on the box office in the early stage of "Infernal Affairs"!

What's more, Yi Shuihan's side has a big gap with the other party in terms of channels and resources.

We have to find a way to get back a city!" Yi Shuihan thought, thoughts surging in his dark eyes.

"How well is the promotion of our film at the moment?" Yi Shuihan asked.

"It's already starting to work...... However, at present, they have been overshadowed by the limelight of "Prison Storm", they really think that money is not money, according to the news, so far their publicity expenses have exceeded 10 million......" Zheng Liaoyuan said in a deep voice: "And the publicity expenditure we planned before was only 8 million, which is not enough!"

"The publicity on your side keeps up, whether it is online or offline physical publicity, at least to ensure that it can reach a balance with "Prison Storm", as for the publicity costs...... If it's not enough, we'll inject capital again!These will all be earned back in the later stage!" Yi Shuihan thought for a while and said calmly.

Zheng Liaoyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Haha, with your guarantee of a billion box office, I am willing to pay more publicity expenses!"

"The wind and rain are coming!" Yi Shuihan sighed, "The other party must have a second move...... Let's watch it when the movie comes out, and then we will have a showdown!"
