Chapter 735: Partner

At the end of January, more than 30 investors in the film and television industry from all over the country arrived in Beijing to participate in the financing conference initiated by Haomeng Company, including filmmakers from Xiangjiang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the financing announcement of Good Dream Company was issued, it received a positive response.

There are not only the bosses of film and television companies, but also investors who are not in the development of the film and television industry, who want to take the boat of "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" and obtain benefits.

This is in stark contrast to the situation a year ago.

A year ago, in the face of an investment of 800 million yuan, most people were reluctant to take risks, afraid of taking risks, and even hoped that the project would fail, and the company collapsed.

Even if they knew they had the support of the Ministry of Culture, they didn't have much confidence.

The capacity of the domestic film market is limited, and the box office of two or three hundred million is already the limit, and a big production like "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" can only rely on foreign film markets to recover its investment.

Therefore, even if the film gets a high box office at home and a dismal box office overseas, the movie will also lose money.

Overseas box office can not be affected by the domestic cultural sector, and the risk cannot be assessed.

Now seeing the rapid box office momentum of "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" overseas, in the face of this delicious big cake, these people naturally want to come over and share a piece.

They were still thinking about how to get involved, and Good Dream Company just issued a financing announcement.

Because there are too many people who want to invest, the company conducted a screening, and Lin Zixuan is looking for a partner, not everyone has this qualification.

Those who come to Beijing to participate in the financing conference need to have the following points.

Those who have a certain foundation and influence in the film and television industry, or have connections in the government departments of major cities, are preferred to be introduced by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television or the Ministry of Culture.

Those who are ready to fish in troubled waters don't need to talk about it, Lin Zixuan is not a boy who scatters money.

After preliminary screening, there are 25 companies that meet the requirements, and the strength of each company is different.

In terms of the explanatory materials they provided, the lowest can only contribute 10 million yuan, the highest can contribute 60 or 70 million yuan, and 25 companies can contribute more than 500 million yuan.

The financing amount of Good Dream Company this time is 300 million.

The amount involves the follow-up account sharing, not that the higher the better, the higher the financing amount, the more benefits will be distributed in the future, and the less the good dream company will earn.

Three hundred million is the amount determined by the company's senior management after careful consideration.

It not only guarantees the company's profits, but also gives those partners a head to earn.

Don't forget, Good Dream also has a group of partners, including nine companies including Huaying Group and Huayi Brothers, who also have plans to make additional investments.

The allocation of investment quotas requires a certain amount of skill.

While letting them contribute money and efforts, they must also make sure that they can make money, not too much, but not too little.

Fortunately, the cake of "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" is big enough, requires billions of investment, and has enough room to operate.

In addition, in the future, we will build theme parks and develop peripheral industries.

The fundraising conference was held at the Beijing Hotel, which attracted a lot of media.

"According to last week's statistics, the box office of "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" in China reached 150 million, and there should be a slight increase during the winter vacation, and there is a great hope of breaking through 200 million yuan. Yu Dong introduced the situation to the investors present, "The total box office in Asia is more than 80 million US dollars, and the latest box office statistics of European countries have not yet been obtained, the last statistics are about 100 million US dollars, of which the British box office is 40 million US dollars." ”

On the big screen in the conference room, a statistical chart appears.

The chart shows the box office of "Little Snow's Big Adventure" a month after its release in each country, and the percentage of the film, with the UK having the best box office results.

This is because the film has not yet been released in North America, which is the world's largest film market.

"As it stands, the film has a box office potential of $300 million to $400 million in Asia and Europe, and we expect at least $100 million to be made in North America. Yu Dong said, "This means that the film has recouped its investment through the box office alone, and the return on investment is about one to three." ”

Return on investment and return on investment life are the most important concerns for investors.

The former refers to how much money you can make by investing a dollar, and the latter refers to how many years it will take to get a return.

Both of these are important indicators to measure the return on investment.

Investing a dollar can make a million, but it takes a hundred years, then there is no point, and getting the maximum return in the shortest time is a good investment.

Of course, there are long-term investments that last for decades, and that requires persistence and perseverance.

The first part of "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" invested 100 million US dollars, plus the later publicity costs, it was about 130 million US dollars, and the production and distribution cycle was two years.

The tripling of investment in two years can only be said to be a good investment, far less promising than the real estate market.

Good Dream Company is slightly conservative in data estimates, Lin Zixuan doesn't want to find partners who plan to make quick money, he wants to find people who can cooperate for a long time.

The operation cycle of this project is as long as ten years, making quick money, unstable people are unreliable, and it is easy to cause trouble.

After Yu Dong's introduction, some people in the audience retreated, and many people did not know much about the overseas film market.

The media reported how popular "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" was, how high the box office was, and how many records it broke were mostly estimates made by reporters in order to attract the attention of readers.

In fact, there is a difference between the box office and the earnings of the studio.

In China, the box office share of film companies and theaters is about 43 percent, and film companies account for 40 percent, and the proportion of account sharing abroad will be reduced to less than 20 percent.

Moreover, the regulations vary from country to country, and cannot be generalized.

"Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" is making money, but not as much as they think, this is a long-term process, and the later video products and peripheral products are also a hot spot for profit.

Domestic filmmakers are accustomed to staring at the box office and taking the box office too seriously.

"Declare in advance that you are only the identity of investors after investment, and have no decision-making power for the project, and Haomeng Company has autonomy over the use of funds. Yu Dong emphasized.

That is, they contribute to receive dividends and can make recommendations, but they cannot make decisions.

This is to ensure that the project is under the control of Good Dreams and cannot be taken advantage of by people to make trouble.

Although it is a bit like an overlord clause, this is something you and I want, and if you want to invest, you have to accept the conditions.

"Okay, you can take a look at the contract in your hand, or ask a lawyer to look at it, if you are willing to invest, we will meet here at two o'clock in the afternoon to discuss specific cooperation matters. Yu Dong finally said.

At the end of the meeting, Yu Dong called Lin Zixuan to explain the situation.

"I think there are a few people who lack sincerity, and they may not be able to see anyone in the afternoon, and we have been rumored to be domineering in the circle, and after today, I am afraid that our reputation for domineering will be confirmed. Yu Dong quipped.

"It doesn't matter, over time, the real partner will understand, and the others will let them go. Lin Zixuan said calmly.
