1283【KRetime Fund】
"Mr. Xia, tell me in detail. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zou Wenhuai asked impatiently.
The film fund can be said to be related to the future of Golden Harvest. With this fund, it will not lack funds for production in the future. When the time comes, you will be able to make some big-budget movies like Tianxia Pictures.
Although it is not that the more money you spend, the better the film, but big-budget movies are indeed easier to attract attention and easier to get high box office. This is proven.
For example, Hollywood summed up the "28 blockbuster rule", that is, "20% of the strong brands occupy 80% of the market share." "An important feature of the development of the market economy is the concentration of market share in favor of the most valuable brands. The so-called blockbuster film is a film with big investment, big production, big star, big director, big publicity, etc., which usually gets a big income, accounting for about eighty percent of the film's annual income.
Because of the lack of funds, only Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, and Hong Jingbao are qualified to make blockbusters. Other stars and directors can only wait and make some small and medium-budget films. Although it can also make money, it is not as profitable as blockbusters.
However, because of its abundant funds, Tianxia Pictures can often make blockbusters. In addition to works such as "The Love of People and Ghosts", "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun", and "A Chinese Ghost Story", which are participated in by big stars and directors, even the works of small stars and directors such as "The Peacock Prince" and "Asura" have an investment of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Because of her willingness to invest, the film was well-made, not only a box office hit, but also made Zhou Hailin, who was originally just a newcomer, an instant hit, and became one of the most popular new actresses in Hong Kong.
In comparison, although Golden Harvest has made a lot of movies in the past two years, it rarely wins stars. Up to now, the pillars are still Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, and Hong Jingbao, and they have not changed at all.
Although the three of them are in the prime of life, they can still fight for a few years. But if people have no long-term concerns, they will have near-term worries. Golden Harvest's talent is a problem that cannot be ignored. And if you want to praise people, you must have big production, big publicity, in other words, you must have money.
And Golden Harvest itself is short of money, so it has become a stalemate. The solution is to attract investment from the outside world, which is what Summer called "film fund." ”
"Yes, Mr. Xia, tell us more about it. Mai Jia also said excitedly.
Their new art city is even more short of money than Golden Harvest. Although Jiahe is also short of money, it has a history of more than ten years, and there are still some family backgrounds.
But it has only been a few years since the establishment of their new art city, and they have been relying on Lei Juekun's funding for filming. And the Lei family's business in recent years has not been very good, resulting in Xinyicheng now being very short of money. It would be great if you could get money from the "Film Fund".
……
"Okay, listen to me. Xia smiled slightly, "Mr. Liang Botao, the manager of the investment department of Wenhe Group, has already helped me make a set of plans......
He explained Liang Botao's plan.
After listening to this, Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia all nodded again and again, feeling that this plan was really good.
"Mr. Xia, this plan is really good. Mai Jia said with a smile, "If we can really succeed, we will not lack funds for filming in the future." ”
"yes, that's a real relief for our immediate needs. Zou Wenhuai also said with a smile.
"Don't be so happy so early. Yes, with this film fund, we can indeed borrow chickens to lay eggs, use outside funds to shoot our films, and after making money, we only need to share a little dividend to those investors.
But don't forget, the film industry is a high-risk industry, and not every film can make money. You have taken so much investment, in case you lose money at that time, you have to give an explanation to the investor. Don't think you're losing, just pretend to be deaf and dumb. Xia was so excited to see the two of them, as if after having a film fund, they could spend money energetically, and couldn't help but remind coldly.
Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia glanced at each other and nodded.
Indeed, if the movie is a blockbuster, everyone will make money, hello, hello, hello, everyone. But if the movie loses money, it will be a trouble at that time. Therefore, how to strike a balance between investment and return is something they must consider calmly.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the establishment of the fund first, and then discuss how to use the funds raised. Summer reminded again. Now that the fund has not yet been established, it is a joke to be in a hurry about how to divide the money.
"Manager Liang suggested that the registered capital of our fund should be 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which will make investors feel more secure. Summer continued, "I think his advice is good. In that case, how about the three of us share the 100 million funds equally?"
"Wouldn't that cost more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars?!" Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.
"Mr. Xia, can't you be less?" Mai Jia said with a frown when she heard this.
More than 30 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing for summer. But for them, it's a matter of life.
Recently, they are making movies, buying theaters, and digging into the wall, and they are making frequent moves, which also makes the money in their hands less and less. More than 30 million Hong Kong dollars is really unbearable for them.
"No matter how little, how can investors have confidence in us. When Xia heard this, he frowned and said.
There are so many fund companies in Hong Kong that if you want to win the trust of investors and make people willing to invest their money, you have to be willing to put their money in.
A registered capital of 100 million Hong Kong dollars can demonstrate the confidence of this fund company. Otherwise, it's only a few million Hong Kong dollars, so shabby, what does it look like.
"That's okay, Mr. Xia, the two of us have a little less, and you have a little more yourself, is this okay?" Zou Wenhuai proposed, "Anyway, we just have to use the funds of the fund company, and it doesn't matter if we can make money from the fund company." ”
"Not bad, not bad. Mai Jia also nodded hurriedly.
Fund companies make money, mainly by handling fees and management fees. Although the fund company does well, it will also make a profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars every year, but they are destined to not share this profit.
"Oh well. But it can't be too little. If it's too little, you don't have much to pay for this company, and naturally you don't have much sense of responsibility, so aren't you happy to collapse the company!" Seeing that they all said this, Xia thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, I will contribute 50 million, and you two will contribute 25 million each, is this okay?"
This registered capital, to put it bluntly, is actually their deposit. In the future, if they lose money in making a movie, the company will have the money to return to the investors, so as not to smash the signboard.
If they only give out one or two million Hong Kong dollars, they will take forty or fifty million Hong Kong dollars at that time. Once the loss is made, the company will not have much money to pay to the investors.
"Mr. Xia, can there be a little less?" Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai pleaded again when they heard this.
25 million Hong Kong dollars, for them, is still a bit much.
"This money is related to the amount of money you use. If you don't want to pay more now, don't expect to take more money from fund companies in the future. Summer warned.
Hearing him say this, Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai suddenly didn't dare to make any more trouble, and they all agreed.
……
"Well, okay, the funding is done. Summer nodded, "Next, let's give this fund company a name." ”
"Mr. Xia, you are a talent, you can choose the name. Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
"Yes, you are a noble person, and you have the reputation of 'Fortune Boy'. Your name is all extravagant, and it will definitely make our fund company rich and profitable!" Mai Jia also said with a smile.
"Well, since this fund company was co-founded by the three of us, it is better to have a 'three' in the name. Three...... Three sheep open Thailand, good intentions. Sanyang Fund is not good, I think it is called 'Kaitai Fund', how about it?" Xia muttered to himself, and then said suddenly.
"Kaitai Fund?!Well, good name!"
"Mr. Xia is worthy of being a talent, and his name is so good. ”
Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia praised unanimously.
"Okay, since you both agreed, it's called 'Kaitai Fund'. Summer also said with a smile.
"Okay, I propose, a toast to the establishment of our fund company!" Zou Wenhuai said.
"Cheers!" said Summer and Mai Jia in celebration.
Later, in the summer, he talked with Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia about the operation of the fund company, such as how to design products, how to sell, how to invest, how to return to capital, how to redeem in advance, etc.
Although Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai are both capable people, they are definitely masters in the film field. However, the interlacing is like a mountain, and there is almost no understanding of fund management. Therefore, after listening to the summer trip, I felt drowsy, which was more effective than taking sleeping pills.
"Mr. Xia, let's talk about these things in the future, let's drink today. Zou Wenhuai waved his hand.
He is getting older, and he is slower to receive knowledge. He just heard what Xia said, and he couldn't even understand it, let alone have any understanding.
Mai Jia is the same, "Mr. Xia, let's have a drink first." Anyway, this fund company is managed by professionals, so we just need to take the money to film. ”
"......" Seeing that they all said this, it was difficult to say anything more, "Forget it, it is indeed difficult to understand these theories now." When the time comes for the company to be up and running, they will participate in it, and they will naturally understand. ”
"Alright then, let's drink and cheers!" he laughed.
"By the way, Mr. Xia, can you let us participate in your acquisition of Columbia-Samsung Pictures this time?" Mai Jia asked with a smile.
If he wants to buy Colombia himself, it will be an absolute pipe dream. But with the summer, then you won't be afraid.
"Okay, this acquisition will cost more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and I'm worried that I can't afford it. Since you're willing to support it, that's the best. Summer smiled, "So how much money are you willing to pay?"
