Appearance:

"Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Pan, I prefer to go straight. After the greetings, Xia said directly, "I intend to join Debao Film Company, I don't know what Mr. Pan's conditions are?"

Pan Disheng was overjoyed.

In the summer, two movies in a row grossed more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be called a genius in the Hong Kong film industry. If such a talent joins Debao, it will undoubtedly be a tiger for him.

Pan Disheng saw that the Hong Kong film market was good and wanted to develop in this industry. It's just that there are not many talents under him, only a few people such as Hong Jingbao and Cen Jianxun.

And because Debao is growing and threatening Golden Harvest's business, Hong Jingbao has recently also intended to withdraw from Debao, so Pan Disheng urgently needs to introduce new talents.

If Summer is willing to go to Debao, then he really wants it.

"I know that Mr. Xia has his own film company, and he just recently released a blockbuster movie, Mr. Zombie. In this way, I will invest 40 million Hong Kong dollars in your Tianxia Film Company, and you and I will share the equity of the branch, but the company is still managed by you. In the future you make films, and if you don't have enough money, I will also provide you with funds. What do you think of this condition?" Pan Disheng thought for a moment, and then said.

Summer smiled and shook her head, "Mr. Pan, you only think about the value of "Mr. Zombie", but you don't take my value into account. If you want to get half of the company's equity for 40 million, it is absolutely impossible, and you can only get 20% at most. ”

"Two percent?!" Pan Di's face suddenly sank when he heard it.

The sales fee of "Mr. Zombie" can get up to 40 million, and he bid 40 million to get half of the company's equity, which is relatively cheap this summer. I didn't expect him to have such a big appetite, and he was only willing to give himself 20% of the equity, which was too much of a deception.

"Mr. Xia, I can't agree to this condition. If you get the money, you withdraw the shares. Wouldn't I have suffered a heavy loss?" Pan Disheng shook his head and said, it is equivalent to him giving more than 20 million to Xia for nothing, even if he is a billionaire, he can't bear such a big loss.

"Doing business is a letter, and since I said that I want to cooperate in the summer, I will not be untrustworthy. If Mr. Pan has doubts. I can sign a contract that guarantees me to stay with the company for at least one year. If Mr. Pan's funds are strong, even if you only shoot five movies a year, your investment can be recovered. Summer smiled slightly.

"Even so, 40 million can only be exchanged for 20% of the equity, which is too little. Pan Disheng shook his head and said, "I hope Mr. Xia will reconsider it and reallocate the equity to me." ”

"Twenty percent equity is already a lot. Summer shook her head and said, "Tell you the truth. Mr. Pan, I am confident that we will develop Commonwealth Pictures into a company with a market value of over one billion. The reason for the introduction of foreign capital is nothing more than to buy insurance. It is obviously unfair to me that Mr. Pan only considers its current market value and does not consider its future market value. ”

"However, Mr. Xia, you are just talking nonsense. What if your company is not developing well? Am I not at a loss?" Pan Disheng also shook his head and said.

Summer saw that he was so shrewd in his calculations, and he didn't scatter eagles when he didn't see rabbits. I can't help but feel depressed. I thought, "If only I could buy a theater." Unconstrained by the cinema company, do you think I am willing to give you 20% of the shares? Do you know how big my future company is?!"

The reason why Summer chose to cooperate with the three major film companies is that solving the financial problem is just a trivial matter, and the key is not to be constrained by the theater chain.

You must know that there are only five major cinema chains in Hong Kong, among which Anle and Shuangnan cinemas do not need to be considered, and the other three cinema chains are in the hands of three cinema chains. And these three theater companies have their own film companies.

They usually save the best schedules for their own studios and the bad ones for other studios. If you don't rely on them in the summer, it will be difficult for the movie to get a good schedule, and the box office will naturally be greatly discounted.

"In that case, let's talk about it here today. Let's go back and think about it. Summer thought for a moment.

His value is immeasurable. 40 million can enjoy 20% of the income, which is already a cheap sale, I don't want Pan Disheng to be ignorant of the goods. In that case, there is no need to talk about it anymore. Goods are sold to know the family, and people don't understand this value, so why bother talking about it.

Pan Disheng couldn't help but feel a little pity when he saw that Xia Xia had issued an eviction order.

To be honest, as long as he makes three movies with a box office of more than 20 million a year in the summer, his 40 million investment can be fully recovered. And looking at the ability of summer, this is not difficult to do.

It's just that Pan Disheng is used to doing business and always wants to maximize his interests, so he insists on not regressing. It's just that I didn't expect the summer temper to be so explosive, and he immediately drove people away without speculation, which made him embarrassed to change his words.

"Okay, if Mr. Xia changes his mind, please call me again. Pan Disheng stood up, still graceful.

Summer nodded, "Okay." ”

……

After a disappointing with Pan Disheng, he went back in the summer and thought about it again and redesigned a new cooperation model.

He then began to sell the model to major film companies in Hong Kong.

It's a simple model that runs each film as a project and then pitches that project to a number of studios. If they are interested in the project, then they will fund and work together. The box office is divided according to the ratio of investment to total cost. Every income, every expenditure is accounted for.

This model has a resounding name in later generations, called "crowdfunding". In fact, many Hollywood movies are also filmed in this way to raise funds.

Later Hollywood movies often cost hundreds of millions of dollars, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean IV: The Stormy Waves" starring Johnny Depp, which cost as much as $250 million, "Spider-Man 3" starring Tobey Maguire cost as much as $258 million, and Wu Yusen's "The Wind Whisperer", which caused MGM bankruptcy, also cost $1.5 billion.

With such a high-cost film, coupled with a lot of publicity expenses, once it fails at the box office, it will be an unbearable loss for the production company. Even a prestigious film company like MGM can't afford it.

Therefore, in order to avoid risks, Hollywood film companies have adopted the strategy of introducing foreign capital and sharing risks. They set up a film fund to attract funds from the outside world through investment companies and effectively share risks. Avoided their own losses.

In recent years, film investment in the mainland has also tended to be in this way, for example, a payment platform has launched film crowdfunding and financial management.

The cooperation model launched in the summer was obtained by painting a scoop according to the gourd. The advantage of this cooperation model is freedom, not confined to a cinema company, a film company, anyone who wants to cooperate can come to invest. Finally, the income is distributed proportionally. Tong Su is not bullied.

In this way, in the summer, you can not only avoid Shun getting your brother's love and losing your sister-in-law, agreeing to this family, but offending the other, but also solve the financial problem and risk sharing, and at the same time, the theater problem can also be solved. As long as the three theater companies invest, they will never see that the movie they invested in is nowhere to be released.

……

"Mr. Zombie" skyrocketed at the box office, two weeks after its release. The box office successfully exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although the media was not surprised by this box office result, when it really exceeded 20 million, it couldn't help but sigh.

Summer is so powerful, there is another movie with a box office of more than 20 million, it seems that he has put on the hat of "20 million director". It's a pity that I can't see him running around Central.

"Of course, brother's nakedness, only brother's sage can appreciate it. "Summer is bare, crossed psoas. Standing on the bed, he laughed proudly.

"I hate it!" Wang Jixian yanked him hard. "Let you talk nonsense. ”

The box office of "Mr. Zombie" exceeded 20 million, shaking the Hong Kong film industry. Many film companies are rushing to shoot zombie films, wanting to take advantage of this shareholder trend to make some money.

For a time, the major studios were full of demonic spirit, and zombies were everywhere.

Wannian Green with Lin Zhengying became an instant hit with this film, and successfully rejuvenated the second spring of his career. There are more than 20 companies that invited him to film alone. The salary has also skyrocketed from the previous 300,000 to the current 800,000, more than doubled.

Xu Guanying also showed in this film that he was not inferior to the eldest brother Xu Guanwen, and the funny talent of the fourth brother Xu Guanjie also became the target of the film company's invitation. However, Xu Guanying is shy. Although there are many opportunities now, his reaction has not been very positive.

Summer also won a lot of fans in this film with his handsome appearance and neat skills. It's a pity that his identity is special, and no film company dares to invite him to star. Therefore, it is priceless.

The eldest lady of the Ren family played by Wang Qixian really amazed the people of Hong Kong and made her famous rise again. Now it has climbed from a third-rate star to a second-tier position. It is estimated that after the release of "The Legend of Wesley", she is likely to climb to the second line position.

It's just that whether it is "Mr. Zombie" or "The Legend of Wesley", Wang Jixian plays only a vase role, even if she opens up her popularity, it does not mean that she has become a first-line actress, because she still lacks works that can prove her box office appeal.

Hong Kong first-line actresses, Xia Yufanghong, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, Mei Yanfang, Zhong Chuhong, all have their own classic works, all of which have proved their box office appeal.

At this moment, Wang Jixian is still some distance away from them, but Xia believes that she will soon be able to prove her ability.

Although the other heroine Xia Wenxi has excellent acting skills and contributed a fragrant intimate scene with Xia, it is a pity that the scale is not larger than her previous "Tang Dynasty Heroic Girl", so it did not cause much repercussions. On the contrary, because his appearance was inferior to Wang Jixian, he did not have the role of a vase as well as others, and he did not enjoy too many benefits brought by the movie. (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you for your support!

Lao Bai sincerely begged for subscriptions, rewards, and monthly passes.

Recently, for some reason, the subscription has continued to decline, and the subscription to a chapter is only one or two hundred, which is less than ten yuan.

There are three more chapters, only more than 30 yuan a day, counting full attendance, it is less than 2,000 yuan a month, which is really difficult for Lao Bai to support.

So I hope that all book friends will be more considerate of my difficulties and support!
