"Meng Ren is very active this year, and he has opened another project?"

Ning Shirong has just returned from the United States. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some time ago, he flew to the United States to discuss the release of a co-production between Qingtian and American film companies, and when he came back, he heard that Lin Xinru and his team signed a contract with Meng Ren in the mode of a studio.

And Meng Ren also specially created a costume palace fight drama "Beauty Scheming" for Lin Xinru. 40 episodes of TV series, with an investment of 40 million, and a single episode production cost of 1 million, is an absolute big production.

In addition to Ning Shirong in the office, there is only Zhang Ruilin.

The latter nodded and said, "The pace of Mengren's expansion is too fast, and the direction is wrong, instead of expanding the upstream and downstream, it focuses on film and television drama investment, which is prone to problems." ”

"Have you heard about the scale of investment in those film and television dramas?"

"I've asked someone to inquire about it. ”

For two Hollywood blockbusters, Mengren invested 70 million US dollars, which is 420 million Chinese yuan at an exchange rate of 1:6. The production cost of "Twilight" is 40 million US dollars, and Meng Ren invested 10 million, which is equivalent to 60 million Chinese yuan.

The investment budget of "Inception" is tentatively set at 150 million, of which 80 million is invested by Meng Ren, 18 million is invested in "Love Call Transfer 2", 55 million is invested in "Three Thousand Gold of the Xia Family", 40 million is estimated in "Myth", 20 million is invested in Meng Ren, and 40 million is invested in "Beauty Scheming".

That's 693 million ...... Nearly 700 million Chinese dollars.

The investment budget of "Run, Brother" was not found, but it was also in the tens of millions.

It doesn't matter how much, this year, a bunch of projects opened by cute people have thrown more than 700 million into it.

Although the investment in film and television dramas does not need to be in place at one time, but is invested stage by stage, there are also a lot of accounts receivable outside the cute people, and we have to take into account the cost overruns during the filming of film and television dramas, as well as publicity expenses, 800 million can't be stopped!

How much is the total asset of the moe person?

How many accounts receivable are left?

Those film and television dramas will have to be released and broadcast in the second half of the year at the earliest, and several blockbusters, including "Inception", I am afraid that they will not be released until next year, and the funds of cute people will be very tight!

Zhang Ruilin's voice was calm, listing the expenses of cute people one by one, and finally concluded: "The expansion is too blind, it is easy to fall behind, and there are many similar examples at home and abroad." Now the cute people may not be able to realize it, and when it is autumn, the financial pressure will really show up, and it will be too late by then. ”

Compared with Pei Pengbing, Tian Ye and Liu Lei, Ning Shirong is still more satisfied with Zhang Ruilin.

is not humble or silent, takes money to do things, recognizes their own status, and can also put forward some valuable suggestions from the front.

"Although Mai Xiaoyu is disgusting, the cute film and television dramas and artists are good. You're in charge of this, keeping an eye on the cash flow of the cute people. Once the cute person's funds are tight, tell me immediately, let's work harder. Hehe, I've already found someone to do a good job in overseas shell companies, but don't let me down. ”

"I know what to do. ”

"By the way, is there any movement over there in the Deng Dynasty?"

"It's not in my area of responsibility, I don't know. I still don't think there's a need to do that. and so on in the future, all the film and television drama copyrights produced by Mengren, and the contracts with all its artists are also included......"

"You don't understand, you get out. ”

Leaving the Qingtian Tower, Zhang Ruilin drove on the road, walked some distance, and parked the car on the side of the road.

He opened the glove box, took out a mobile phone from it, pulled out a SIM card, installed it and dialed the only phone number saved inside.

"Mr. Shi, Ning Shirong has registered a shell company overseas, which should be to prepare for the acquisition of Mengren in the future......"

……

Taking advantage of the blind expansion of a high-quality company, which leads to the rupture of the capital chain, and trying to merge and acquire it, is a popular business routine in the world. Some companies even specialize in mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, and packaging and selling other companies to earn the difference in price.

Such companies are not small companies, and the means of mergers and acquisitions are full of tricks and tricks.

Ning Shirong is bullying Mai Xiaoyu as a "turtle", and he wants to take advantage of the problem of the cute person's capital chain to make a merger.

Didn't Mai Xiaoyu say that he cares about too many people and things now? To put it bluntly, in addition to his family, that is, Mengren Film and Television, the company he founded single-handedly.

Ning Shirong planned to take away control of the cute people from Mai Xiaoyu, and then humiliate Mai Xiaoyu to his heart's content, and then ......

He is no longer looking for trouble with the cute people now, but has given the cute people the opportunity to develop smoothly, and the various projects are either smoothly prepared, or started smoothly, in short, everything is going well.

Well, there are unexpected hiccups too.

In mid-April, "The King of Kung Fu", co-produced by Yihua Brothers and American film companies, was released in North America and China a week apart.

With the box office appeal of two Chinese international action superstars such as Cheng Long, the film grossed more than $20 million in the first weekend after its release, ranking first in the North American box office list in the same period, and won the first place in the North American box office chart in the first week of release.

A week later, "The King of Kung Fu" was released in China and achieved an amazing result of 80 million at the box office in the first weekend, detonating April, which has always been considered the off-season at the box office.

In stark contrast to the high box office, the film's reputation is good.

Bad reputation!

Because it is the first time that two domestic and international action superstars have co-starred in a movie in many years, and there are also combat scenes in the film, many viewers have high expectations.

Although according to the survey of theaters, most of the audiences who participated in the survey were "disappointed" after watching "The King of Kung Fu", but the audience who had not seen it still walked into the cinema to watch the movie.

For investors, distributors and theaters, the value of a movie that is not popular is far greater than whether it is popular or not.

In the words of industry insiders, this movie is more form than content, but it has elements that are in line with fashion consumption, and it can be regarded as an entertainment commercial film.

As a result, even though many viewers are saying "disappointed", the box office is climbing, and theaters are ready to add more screenings and delays on weekends.

"The King of Kung Fu" was a big hit at the box office, and the Yihua brothers smiled, which also made the domestic giants and big bargains co-produced with American film companies full of hope for their co-productions to be released this year.

How much money the Yihua brothers make from "The King of Kung Fu" has nothing to do with Mengren Film and Television and Mai Xiaoyu.

Although Sissi starred in "The King of Kung Fu", with her popularity and influence in the film industry, the fixed salary of $1.5 million is not low, and it is impossible to enjoy box office dividends.

She plays the role of "Golden Swallow" in the film, and Liu Xiaoli once gave her high hopes that she could successfully transform with this role. However, the audience had mixed reviews for her performance in the film, but the transformation was obviously unsuccessful, and it was not as good as the white-haired Li Bingyu, who left a deep impression on the American audience.

"The King of Kung Fu" has a poor reputation in China and mixed reputation abroad, mainly relying on two Chinese international action superstars and shocking martial arts scenes. In terms of box office, after topping the North American box office charts in the first week, it continued to decline in the following weeks.

Until mid-May, "The King of Kung Fu" set off a craze in the United States again, and the cause of the craze was...... Sissi.

The ubiquitous American paparazzi revealed that the heroine of the two movies "The Wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland" that Disney is preparing to shoot is Sissi!

As soon as the news was heard, the American people were in an uproar......
