Chapter 940
"Other new products invest hundreds of millions of billions at every turn, and our company has only earned hundreds of millions? Shushu.com is the fastest update," Shen Miaofu said.
Hang Yu understood, it was not that the development of Yangzhou's entertainment was bad, but that Shen Miaofu's ambition was too great.
When she compares an entertainment company that has not been established long ago with a first-class Internet product, she will naturally come to the conclusion that the entertainment company is a 'foot washer'. And this conclusion is not wrong, Yangzhou Entertainment is indeed the group's footwash at present.
In the past, Shen Miaofu didn't complain, because she understood the company's strategic plan, and at the same time, she didn't want to disturb Hang Yu.
But recently, she suddenly felt that the company didn't seem to be as short of money as she imagined, such as the money invested in group purchases, and a little leakage was enough for Yangzhou Entertainment to hold a celebration.
The subordinates also encouraged Shen Miaofu that the crying child had milk to eat, and hoped that she would fight for treatment with the headquarters.
However, it is a pity that Hang Yu does not eat this sentence, and what he hates most is that "crying children have milk to eat"! A very important reason for the formation of such a cultural atmosphere in China is that some leaders like to "cry" their subordinates and find a sense of power in it.
This is a very bad habit, because those who like to make trouble, who are good at making trouble, are often not good at doing practical things. And those who are bent on doing practical things often don't make trouble, so the allocation of resources will be wrong.
"If you invest some money in Yangzhou Entertainment, we can shoot a few more film and television dramas and create some stars of our own. Shen Miaofu said.
"Didn't you just raise more than 600 million yuan, and it will only be tens of millions to make a more exquisite TV series. More than 600 million funds are enough for you to make a few TV series and invest in a few more movies. Hang Yu said.
"We have invested in seven films, spent more than 200 million, and the remaining hundreds of millions are intended to make their own film and television dramas. However, the current popular stars are very expensive, and a first-line star will be paid tens of millions of dollars, and it is not as easy as you think to make a good TV series. I want to make a good drama, but I'm afraid that it will be thankless and it will be troublesome to lose money. Shen Miaofu said.
"Don't look for a first-line star, the key is to have good acting skills, be able to endure hardships, don't be that kind of tourist-style actor. As for fame, as long as you are handsome and beautiful, are we afraid that we won't be able to win it?" Hang Yu said.
"That's what you said, but you picked them up, and their value went up one by one, and they didn't have to pay a high price. Unless you only use it once, the next time you make a film and television drama, it will be really difficult to find someone. Shen Miaofu said.
Investing in film and television dramas is very risky, famous directors may not be able to make high-grossing movies, and the works of famous actors may not necessarily make money.
High returns also mean high risks, investing in movies is a big gamble, getting rich overnight and losing all your money exist equally, and co-production is a good way to diversify risks.
Now the general situation is that the production company invests together with the distributor, the cinema chain, and the radio and television group, so that there is a very good combination of publicity, distribution, and creation, which is the most ideal state.
So movies nowadays generally have many investors.
For example, in the movie "One Step Away", investors not only include Jiang Wen's Beijing Yilehu Film Culture Development Co., Ltd., but also Columbia Pictures, Emperor Pictures, China Film, Wanda, Shanghai Film and many other investors.
The seven movies that Yangzhou Entertainment participated in the investment are Journey to the West, Private Custom, Fuji Detective, Chef Drama Ruffian, Very Lucky, Thai, and Big Star. According to Hang Yu's previous tips, most of them are low-budget comedy movies.
On the one hand, they want a low investment and a high return, and on the other hand, comedy movies are usually easier to pass the review.
There is usually no problem with the fantasy story of Journey to the West, private customization, no two detectives, very lucky, Thai, and the scripts of big stars, there is basically no sensitive plot.
is just a cook, a ruffian, the subject matter is more sensitive, but the plot is not sensitive at all.
The film censorship system with Chinese characteristics has virtually increased the risk of film investment.
In the past, the producer applied for a film license after getting the outline of the film script, and then submitted the script to the **** production review office for review after completing the script. This ensures that the film has a higher probability of passing the censorship after it is completed.
The current situation is that the abolition of the review of film scripts is equivalent to concentrating the review of the first two links into the final review of the finished film. Once the film fails to pass the review in the last link, the entire investment will be wasted.
For example, the movie "No Man's Land" was released 4 years after the filming was completed, and it has undergone several revisions from film censors, because there are always sensitive plots that cannot be changed.
When a film reaches the review process, if it fails to "pass" for various reasons, it generally accepts the revision suggestions as much as possible, after all, the film distribution link is interlocking, and the time cannot be delayed.
can not only express the intention of the work but also successfully pass the review, which tests the narrative skills of the film creation team.
After passing the film review pass, the last thing a film has to pass is the "market pass", and the scheduling of the film has also become a factor affecting the box office. If a good movie is not in prime time and has few theater schedules, then the box office may also end miserably.
The earliest schedule to be developed was the "Chinese New Year file" created by Feng Xiaogang's film, and then the summer file, "May Day" file, National Day file and other schedules were developed one after another. The box office of summer and Chinese New Year is often the hottest of the year, and producers and distributors value these two schedules and will spend a lot of money to create films that will be released during this time.
As a result, a large number of films have also appeared in the New Year and summer vacations.
How to stand out and get a piece of the pie in these two schedules is the most important issue that most films consider before their release after they are completed.
In the end, for investors, the box office is like the bottom of the cards, and all the returns they expect from spending money on this side are pinned on it. But sometimes the box office looks good, but investors may not get much.
Take a movie with an investment cost of 100 million yuan to calculate an account.
If the box office revenue is 500 million yuan, it is necessary to pay 5% of the fee to the relevant national film and television association as a special fund for films, and 3.3% of the fee will be paid as a tax.
The remaining 91.7%, or 458.5 million yuan, is also distributed to theaters and theaters, accounting for 57%, after all, the channel is a strong guarantee for the box office and a strong party in the entire industrial chain.
