Feng Qingyun had no funds to put into production in the automobile factory, so he could only contact Lin Xiaofan. He remembered that Lin Xiaofan was making a movie and playing. is also the owner of Sail Motors, Lin Xiaofan is much more leisurely than him.

Lin Xiaofan is watching the film clip after Tiangong Company's special effects processing, and this is a ten-minute picture.

Tiangong Company specially set up a project team for Lin Xiaofan's film. It took the entire project team two days to process the 10-minute video.

At this rate, it will take at least two weeks to process the entire film.

If it weren't for the fact that it didn't require too complicated special effects, it would have taken longer.

After watching it, Lin Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction, if the whole movie was of this picture quality, he had a hunch that it would be popular.

At this time, Lin Xiaofan received a call from Feng Qingyun.

"Lin Xiaofan, how is your movie?"

Lin Xiaofan: "The filming of the movie is going well, special effects are being done, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be released." ”

"I'll definitely go to the cinema when the time comes. Our sample car has been made, and all the performances are good. It's just that the next step is to put into production, and our company has no funds to purchase production materials. ”

Lin Xiaofan: "Lack of money, how much do you need?"

"Three hundred million. ”

"So many?" Lin Xiaofan was surprised.

"Where is this more, we produce cars, and the cost of one is eighty or ninety thousand. The first batch will produce at least 2,000 units. Coupled with the cost of publicity and other expenses, three hundred million, is not much at all. ”

Lin Xiaofan: "Okay, I know, I'll find a way." ”

As soon as he hung up Feng Qingyun's phone, he received another call from Zhai Yu.

"Lin Xiaofan, who did our crew offend?"

Lin Xiaofan wondered: "What do you mean by offending people?"

"I've recently approached several distribution companies, but none of them are willing to distribute our films, even though I have proposed a lot of conditions in their favor, and even said that they are willing to pay out of their own pockets for promotion, they are not willing. I heard that a young man surnamed Hua greeted them and refused to release our movie. ”

A young man with the surname Hua?

Lin Xiaofan had this name in his mind, and apart from Hua Yixing, he couldn't think of anyone else who would make a stumbling block.

Lin Xiaofan: "I know, that person's name is Hua Yixing, and he has a relationship with Huamei Film and Television Company. I offended him because of something before, so he wants to take revenge on me. But he only has a relationship with Huamei Film and Television Company, can he still prevent other distribution companies from distributing our films?"

"Huamei Film and Television Company?" Zhai Yu muttered, "This is indeed a bit troublesome, Huamei Film and Television Company is very famous in China and has a certain status in the entertainment industry." Those issuing companies, it's normal to give him face. However, in the face of interests, face is nothing. I'm going to continue looking for a distribution company tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll find a company that doesn't give him face. ”

Putting down the phone, Lin Xiaofan rubbed his temples, these two calls made him a little irritable. 300 million, where can he get it.

Four months ago, he felt that he was already considered a rich man, and the income of Xianpin Restaurant in one day exceeded the income of ordinary people in ten years.

But now, first investing in Fengfan Automobile Company, and then making movies, has used up the income from Xianpin Restaurant. Where is he going to find another 300 million? If it is 30 million, he can barely take it out.

Lin Xiaofan suddenly thought of those billionaires or even tens of billions of billionaires, no wonder they are so rich and still trying to make money, no matter how much money is not enough.

He remembered that he still had those gems and gold from the Warcraft Continent, and he didn't know how much it was worth. He estimated that he could sell tens of millions at most, which could be used for emergencies, but could not solve the fundamental problem.

Alas, what to do with this?

Lin Xiaofan was a little worried.

————

The next day, Zhai Yu called again, and she found a distribution company that was willing to distribute their film. However, listening to her tone, she seemed very unhappy.

"Lin Xiaofan, the distribution company has found it. But, do you know what kind of conditions they put forward?"

Lin Xiaofan: "What conditions?"

"They want 20 million in issuance fees. ”

"Twenty million! Why is it so high?"

Zhai Yu explained: "I'm afraid they know that no distribution company is willing to release our film, and then they get our mentality, so the lion opened his mouth and asked for a distribution fee of 20 million." ”

"Lin Xiaofan, you are not an insider, I'm afraid I don't know what this means. Generally speaking, the distribution company will only charge a small part of the distribution fee in advance, and then after the movie is released, they will charge about 15% of the box office as the distribution fee. ”

"This issuance fee includes the publicity costs of the issuing company. The promotion of the film is generally done by the distribution company. In order to have a higher box office and get more shares, the distribution company will try its best to promote it and achieve a win-win situation. ”

"And this distribution company, which asks for 20 million publicity and distribution fees in one go, does not adopt the settlement method of box office sharing, first, it looks down on our movies and thinks that our movies will not have a high box office. Two, they certainly won't do their best to publicize. ”

"The publicity and distribution cost of 20 million, according to the usual sharing ratio, is more than 130 million box office, and the distributor can only get the box office share. They're definitely asking for a sky-high price. ”

"You must know that some movies that have not been well publicized have a box office of only a few million after their release. If a movie like ours is released, if you pay another 20 million for publicity and distribution, it is likely to be a waste!"

Hearing Zhai Yu say so much, Lin Xiaofan understood the doorway. The publishing company is taking advantage of the opportunity to rip off money and make a lot of money on them.

"Okay, promise them. ”

Zhai Yu: "Really, Lin Xiaofan, are you sure?"

"I'm sure, 20 million issuance fees, I'll give. ”

The total investment of the whole movie is only 20 million, and this publicity and distribution cost of 20 million was used.

The reason why Lin Xiaofan agreed to such a request is because the distribution company would rather ask for a distribution fee of 20 million than a 15% box office share.

Don't want a box office share? Hehe, I'll make you regret it.
