Chapter 368: Interests Make People Crazy

In fact, due to the smooth development of the studio, even if the recruited personnel are carefully selected, the existing number of personnel has reached 200 people, and the current office location can no longer accommodate so many people.

originally had such an idea, but because of the problem of funds, Zhou Bai also had to take into account the studio's liquid cash reserves and film investment funds, so this matter was not mentioned to Liu Guoyang.

The staffing of Baixiang Studio is currently very reasonable, and of course it does not need so many people to run the daily work, but because it has been expanded, different functions have also been developed in the business, and now there are many personnel in the media group and the marketing and business group, plus administration, editing, etc., sooner or later it will exceed 300 people.

Zhou Bai plans to cultivate a screenwriting team, a film preparation team, a film production team, and even a film special effects and other functions in the future, so if you are still nested in the current office, the space will definitely be crowded.

Now Bai Xiang Studio is said to be a studio, in fact, it is a mature film production and distribution company, while opening the new office building, Zhou Bai will also reorganize the studio, and truly transform the studio into a company model.

At present, Bai Xiang Studio has completed the layout in film production and distribution, and the next step is to make every effort to develop and grow, and grab the biggest piece of cake in the upcoming golden age of Chinese films.

This is Zhou Bai's ambition, and it is also the foundation laid by his slow accumulation of energy, and now Bai Xiang Studio has established a stable circle in the entertainment industry, whether it is the Beijing circle, the Shanghai circle, the northwest circle, or the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, the resources that can be mobilized are not inferior to the ordinary film industry bosses, and even the current film industry leader is faintly visible.

……

On February 21, the new Berlin actor Zhou Bai did not appear in front of the media, and he came to a place that many people did not expect.

"Mr. Wang, this is the dividend of "Painless Love", you check the amount, if there is no problem, I will call the studio's finance later, Mr. Zhang, I have sent someone to check it, and he has no objection. Zhou Bai handed the relevant data files of "Painless Lovelorn" to Wang Zhongjun and said with a smile.

"Can I still worry about you? Our cooperation is not the only one, if I can't trust you, who else can I trust in the current film industry?" Wang Zhongjun took it, glanced at it casually and closed it, with indescribable satisfaction with the numbers above, and said with a compliment on his lips.

"Thank you Mr. Wang for your trust, this time it can be regarded as living up to the trust, the income in all aspects is very good, the popularity of "Painless Love" on the side of European film companies can be said to be highly sought after, and they have made a lot of money in order to win the copyright. Zhou Bai smiled, he didn't pay much attention to Wang Zhongjun's words, more than 400% of the income, if he was not satisfied, the Wang brothers were crazy.

"How else to say that it is a pleasure to cooperate with Brother Zhou Bai, it is you who are fully engaged in the production and distribution of films, but we are sitting back and enjoying the success, and you are the only partner in this way, I used to think about when to let you join our Huayi, it seems that my vision is still not enough." Wang Zhonglei, who was sitting next to Wang Zhongjun, looked at the numbers on the document, was overjoyed, and then sighed.

"Xiao Wang always said seriously, it's just my luck, now we are also partners, isn't it, no matter what form it takes, everyone makes money together. Zhou Bai said with a smile.

"Zhou Bai is right, we are now comrades in the trenches, we cooperate with each other, our cooperation has always been very pleasant, thank you for bringing Bingbing, this time she was able to go to the next level, thanks to you. Wang Zhongjun said with a smile, toasted Zhou Bai with tea instead of wine, and smiled at each other.

"Do you have any plans for the future?Is there a place where we need to be used for "Fast Pursuit"?" After chatting for a while, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but ask.

Now that "Painless Lovelorn" has been set in stone, no matter how good Wang Zhongjun's kung fu is, he will be extremely eager for "Fast Pursuit", thinking of Zhou Bai's terrifying investment vision, Wang Zhongjun's heart is full of envy.

"If you want to say that there is no place for help, this time because it involves transnational operations, it is still necessary for Huayi to help, Bai Xiang Studio does not have much overseas experience, not more than you, you cooperate with Colombia, compared to being able to use the resources there. Zhou Bai saw that Wang Zhongjun took the initiative to ask questions, and slowly said that this was what he had thought about a long time ago.

"If your overseas ability is weak, then it will be a hell of you, there are all kinds of rumors in the circle about your relationship with the European film companies, so you are almost wearing a pair of pants, so you can just listen to it. Wang Zhonglei glanced at Zhou Bai resentfully, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Speaking of Bai Xiang Studio, it is now a well-known film producer at home and abroad, and even its distribution ability is not weak, and its relationship network in Europe is even stronger.

"No problem, as long as you can use our place, you just have to speak, but I have a question, "Fast Pursuit" is facing the film market all over the world, and the current investment cost is too low. Wang Zhonglei smiled, agreed very happily, and then asked Zhou Bailai.

The investment in "Fast Pursuit" is indeed not small in China, but all the costs add up, and it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized cost when converted into US dollars in Hollywood, and Zhou Bai's positioning this time is for the world market, Wang Zhonglei's doubts are reasonable, of course, the meaning behind him is self-evident, and he wants to make additional investment.

Zhou Bai's film investment budget this time is 55 million, which is only 7 million US dollars when converted into US dollars, and in the decade from 1995 to 2004, 60 Hollywood films with a cost of more than 100 million US dollars were released, so Zhou Bai's money is really not a matter in front of Hollywood's capital.

"I understand what Mr. Wang means, after I came back from Berlin, I made a budget with the film preparation team again, this time I decided to increase the budget, the overall investment reached 10 million US dollars, and if it is converted into RMB, it is about 80 million, I am willing to give up 40% of the investment amount, I don't know if Mr. Wang has any ideas?" Zhou Bai looked at Wang Zhongjun for a while, and then said.

"That's great, no matter how much money you lack, Huayi guarantees that you can eat it. Wang Zhongjun immediately said in ecstasy.

"Mr. Wang really has a good appetite, but you still have to discuss the specific share with Mr. Zhang, and he is not short of money now. Zhou Bai said noncommittally, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, with such a crazy profit return as "Painless Love", Wang Zhongjun's appetite is certainly not small, Zhou Bai is not afraid that he will refuse if he dares to say it, Wang Zhongjun's reaction he has long expected.
