Chapter 342: Heartbeat

"Zhenghao Studio" now has no time to think about the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", because Zhao Zhenghao's fourth directorial work has already started filming when the finals of the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" are underway.

Now, before that, Zhao Zhenghao himself was busy running the itinerary of the "Legendary" World Tour, and at the same time was busy accompanying Diandian, and at the same time, he also had to take care of the top ten players in the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", and he had no time to take care of the preparations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

However, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not stop preparing because Zhao Zhenghao had no time.

Zhao Zhenghao, Yi Ping, Xie Xin, and Xiang Yazhen, the four leading actors, began to prepare for the filming as early as three months ago.

In addition, in the preliminary preparation of the movie, Zhao Zhenghao was used to being a big shopkeeper, and in the previous films, these cumbersome and miscellaneous matters were all handed over to Wang Yulan, Ren Lan and others.

After directing and filming "Infernal Affairs 2" and completing her dream of becoming a big-screen director, Wang Yulan has completely retracted her mind and no longer wasted her limited energy on a promising director's career, and concentrated on being the manager of "Zhenghao Studio".

Now the head of the film department of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" is Ren Lan.

Ren Lan is the veteran of "Zhenghao Studio", when "Zhenghao Studio" was not yet established, and Zhao Zhenghao paid out of his own pocket to shoot the first season of "Follow Brother Hao to the World", Ren Lan, who was still a student at the National Academy of Drama at the time, had already joined Zhao Zhenghao's team under the introduction of senior sister Wang Yulan.

After graduating from the National Academy of Drama, Ren Lan followed in the footsteps of his senior sister Wang Yulan and officially joined the "Zhenghao Studio", starting from the executive director of the online travelogue video program like "Follow Brother Hao to the World", step by step, and gradually grew into the head of the film department of the "Zhenghao Studio".

Don't look at the small scale of "Zhenghao Studio", the scale of the subordinate film department is even smaller, but the achievements in recent years are obvious to all!

"Zhenghao Studio" currently produces only five movies, of which the second and third are the first and second episodes of "Journey to the West", and the fourth and fifth are the "Infernal Affairs" series.

Of the five movies, three of them are masterpieces with a single-film box office of more than 5 billion, among which "Infernal Affairs" is currently the single-film box office champion in the history of Dragon Kingdom films!

"Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", which has the lowest box office, also has a box office of more than 2 billion in the Dragon Kingdom.

Among these five movies, the only one is not "Infernal Affairs 2" directed by Zhao Zhenghao, with the foundation laid by the previous work, as well as solid quality, after its release, it also received nearly 4 billion box office in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, and the global comprehensive box office is as high as 6 billion!

"Zhenghao Studio", which has only been established for five and a half years, has only been involved in the film industry for more than three years, and the cumulative box office in the Dragon Kingdom has reached 25 billion, and the global box office is nearly 40 billion!

Such a good result, among the film production companies in the same period, it is the best!

Including the six giant production and distribution companies in the Dragon Kingdom film circle, in the past three years, the number of films produced and distributed has been at least twice or even three times that of "Zhenghao Studio", but the cumulative box office can only rank behind "Zhenghao Studio".

Although "Zhenghao Studio" has not been established for a long time and has been involved in the film industry for a short time, it is already a mountain in the current entertainment circle and film circle of the Dragon Kingdom.

As the head of the film department of "Zhenghao Studio", Ren Lan is actually the third person of "Zhenghao Studio".

The boss of "Zhenghao Studio" is naturally Zhao Zhenghao, the second leader, which is indisputably owned by Wang Yulan.

According to the company structure of "Zhenghao Studio", under the boss Zhao Zhenghao and general manager Wang Yulan, there are four directors: the director of the music department, the director of the film department, the director of the variety show department, and the director of the brokerage department.

"Zhenghao Studio" can be regarded as starting with music and variety shows, and the first program produced by the studio is "Follow Brother Hao to the World", which makes Zhao Zhenghao, whose popularity has bottomed out, stop the decline in popularity through self-defilement.

The first original solo album "No Place for Self-Respect" released later made Zhao Zhenghao's popularity stop falling and rise, and start a counterattack journey.

According to this logic, within "Zhenghao Studio", the status of the music director and variety show director should be slightly higher than that of the film director and the agency director.

However, in the current company structure of "Zhenghao Studio", the music director is concurrently served by Zhao Zhenghao, the variety show director is concurrently served by Wang Yulan, and Ren Lan, as the film director, said that she is the third person in the studio, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Although under Wang Yulan and above Ren Lan, there is now a full-time deputy general manager, but this deputy general manager is a professional manager who does not understand business, and his work in various departments is very business-oriented in the "Zhenghao Studio", which can only do some corner work, and cannot dictate specific business.

Therefore, this deputy general manager, in the studio's popularity and ranking, can only be under Ren Lan.

If Ren Lan has anything, he will directly find Wang Yulan, and even have the right to go directly to Tianting and contact Zhao Zhenghao, the vice president, who does not have the right to report directly to Zhao Zhenghao.

Ren Lan took over the authority of the director of the film department of "Zhenghao Studio" from Wang Yulan, and it was not long before Zhao Zhenghao's fourth directorial work "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was the first project she took over.

In the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Ren Lan is not only the chief producer, but also the assistant director, and when Zhao Zhenghao personally goes into battle, she has to sit behind the monitor and monitor everything in the crew.

Fortunately, after more than three years of development, the film department of "Zhenghao Studio" has cultivated a group of elite soldiers, all of whom are Ren Lan's right-hand men, helping her share many bits and pieces of specific affairs, and Ren Lan only needs to coordinate in the middle.

In addition, in the production cost of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", although external funds have also been introduced, "Zhenghao Studio" has the absolute right to speak in the crew.

"Zhenghao Studio" is so domineering!

Being able to allow you to invest is enough to give you face, and I want to dictate the specific affairs of the crew, not only is there no door, but there is not even a window!

What? Unwilling to accept such domineering conditions? Good to go, don't send it!

A large number of investors, lined up and waving checkbooks, just waiting for the "Zhenghao Studio" to nod and accept, and they can immediately sign a contract and pay for it!

Even if there is no external investor who is willing to accept such harsh cooperation conditions, "Zhenghao Studio" is not afraid at all!

Although 70% of the total profits of "Zhenghao Studio" will be transferred to Zhao Zhenghao's personal account, 10% of the other 30% will also be allocated to the "Music Teaching Program" Foundation on time as a supplementary fund for the operation of the foundation.

The rest of the profits, one percent will be allocated to the trust fund of Diandian, and the last one percent will be paid to Wang Yulan's dividends, as well as the daily expenses to maintain the operation of the studio.

The funds allocated to the "Music Teaching Program" foundation cannot be misappropriated, and Wang Yulan's dividends and the studio's daily expenses must also be received in time.

Zhao Zhenghao's personal share is very clearly divided with the studio's accounts, leaving no possibility of discord, and he can not use it or try not to use it.

In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhao Zhenghao adopted the same method as "Infernal Affairs", taking the salary plus dividends, the three positions of director, starring, and screenwriter, the total remuneration is 50 million dragon national dollars, and the director has an additional 8% dividend right, the leading actor has 10% dividend right, and the screenwriter has 2% dividend right.

The total production cost of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is 500 million dragon dollars, and Zhao Zhenghao invested his due salary as equity into the production fee, accounting for another 5 percentage points.

Therefore, Zhao Zhenghao personally accounted for 25% of the equity in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Zhenghao Studio" invested 150 million, accounting for 26% of the investment share of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Zhao Zhenghao and "Zhenghao Studio" account for 51% of the investment share of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is enough to ensure that the crew's right to speak is firmly in their hands.

External investors jointly invested 300 million yuan, accounting for only 49% of the share of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

But this loss is what they are rushing to eat, they don't eat, and some people are willing to take over, or even take over at a premium.

On the account of "Zhenghao Studio", there is currently no 150 million free funds, and this contribution, with 100 million yuan, is raised from the trust fund of Diandian, and the own funds of "Zhenghao Studio" are only 50 million.

Zhao Zhenghao allocated half of his shares in the "Zhenghao Studio" to the Diandian Trust Fund, but the funds transferred to the Diandian Trust Fund cannot be stored in the bank account and wait for depreciation, and investing in the movies written, directed and acted by Zhao Zhenghao and produced by "Zhenghao Studio" should be regarded as the best investment.

This is also the first month near the water.

Zhao Zhenghao's previous directorial works have a sufficient budget, and the total investment is only inexhaustible, and there has never been a situation where there is not enough to spend and need to supplement the investment.

When budgeting for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he adhered to the same principle, and the actual production fee of 450 million yuan received was more than enough to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with the most perfect effect according to the shooting plan.

However, everything is afraid of what happens.

In case the budget is not very careful this time, or there is a situation where the shooting plan is exceeded during the filming process, resulting in the shooting not being completed as planned, and there is a shortage of funds, "Zhenghao Studio" has also prepared a complete plan.

If the production cost is exceeded, then everything will be in accordance with the rules, and the investors can increase their investment proportionally.

"Zhenghao Studio" has tightened its book funds recently, so that it can't even take out 100 million, for many reasons.

First, the revenue before the second quarter, including the profit of the "Voice of the Dragon Country" and the payment of the fourth phase of the "Legend" World Tour, have been divided.

Since the "Music Teaching Program" requires real-time capital investment, the funding given to it by "Zhenghao Studio" is not on an annual basis, but on a quarterly basis.

The allocation of the "Music Teaching Program" is calculated in strict accordance with the equity donated by Zhao Zhenghao, and its share is calculated, and naturally the sharing of other aspects has also been fruitful.

simply adjusted Zhao Zhenghao's shares, Wang Yulan's dividends, and the allocation of the Diandian Trust Fund to be settled quarterly.

Second, the payment for the fifth phase of the "Legendary" World Tour has not yet arrived, and the ten EPs of the top ten contestants in the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", which have been officially signed with the studio, have started production during this time, and at the same time, Feng Xiaojing and An Shuyi's solo albums are also in production.

During the period of "Zhenghao Studio", the income was only the sales proceeds of the music website that was settled once a month, which could only cover the above expenses and the daily expenses of the studio, and the balance was not much.

However, after the third quarter has passed, after entering the fourth quarter, "Zhenghao Studio" will have a large amount of revenue account: the return of the fifth phase of the "Legend" World Tour, and the ten EP returns of the top ten players in the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" that have been released one after another.

In the fifth phase of the "legendary" World Tour, the box office share of "Zhenghao Studio" can return more than 800 million!

After the ten EPs of the top ten players in the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" are released one after another, it is conservatively estimated that the sales volume will be at least more than one billion, and according to the contract, "Zhenghao Studio" will be able to get 400 million from it.

"Zhenghao Studio" gave the top ten contestants in the first season of "The Voice of Longguo" a brokerage contract sharing ratio of 55, although it cannot be compared with Zhao Zhenghao, Yu Yabin, Feng Xiaojing's 82 open, but for newcomers, the conditions are good enough.

Zhao Zhenghao's predecessor, signed a brokerage contract with "Nine Star Entertainment", and the proportion of the share was 28 open, and Zhao Zhenghao could only get 20%; Y, the brokerage contract signed with "Nine Star Entertainment" at the beginning, the sharing ratio was only 37 open.

In the current Dragon Kingdom entertainment industry, the first brokerage contract of the newcomer, most of the sharing ratios are 28 open, and Zhao Zhenghao's predecessor has not been pitted. Y was able to get three seven openings at the beginning, which is enough to prove that "Nine Star Entertainment" attaches great importance and favors to them.

"Zhenghao Studio" can give the top ten players a signing condition of five or five points, which shows sincerity!

It's not that there are no other music companies that offer signing conditions higher than five or five for the top ten players, but how can those rookie companies compare with "Zhenghao Studio"?

Signed in "Zhenghao Studio", you can get Zhao Zhenghao's strong support and support, and you can be customized by Zhao Zhenghao to the title song of the album!

This condition, even kings like Liu Runze and Ju Qinghao are thrilled when they hear it, not to mention those fledgling rookies in the music industry!
