October 2004 passed, and the north wind blew in November, and the capital had begun to enter the cold. Shao Shuaijun stood in front of the 11th floor of Qiao Hengyuan Community, feeling that everything in life was becoming better. In the past October, there have been many happy events.

First of all, it is natural that after half a month of preparation, the cast and filming location of "Crazy Racing" have been determined, and it is currently being filmed in the roundabout section of Ludao City (referred to as Xiamen ~~~~~~ Gate). To Shao Shuaijun's surprise, "Crazy Racing" has not yet started filming, and many businesses have already come to the door to ask for product placement, and 18 million have finally been negotiated. This alone has earned back most of the capital.

"Crazy Racing" Huayi Brothers and Huayi Shao Shuaijun Studio, each invested half, and the share was also half. The original investment of 10 million yuan, and the additional 20 million publicity expenses, the two sides shared 15 million equally, and now only 6 million yuan can be shared equally.

The second thing is that Shao Shuaijun's studio has finally settled down, and on the 11th floor of Hengyuan Community, he has rented three units of 101, 102 and 201. Because it is in Chao~Yang~ District, not far from Fenglian Plaza of Huayi Brothers, the rent is very expensive, more than 20,000 yuan a month.

The staff didn't look for everything, and they didn't have time to look around, so they temporarily asked Liu Sanxi, Anan, Sishui and Zebra to come over to take a look at the door, and Shao Shuaijun also asked the old lady to take care of the studio's finances by the way. Make the accounts of "Crazy Racing" and "Source Code" first.

The third thing is that the investors of the source code have been agreed. Huayi Brothers invested 25 million yuan and was responsible for distribution, accounting for 35% of the box office share; Poly Bona invested 20 million yuan, accounting for 26% of the box office share; Media Asia Variety Show invested 18 million, accounting for 22% of the box office share; Shao Shuaijun invested 5 million to occupy 7% of the box office share, and at the same time, as a director, screenwriter and starring, he occupied another 10% of the box office share, a total of 17% of the box office share.

Combined, these investments have 68 million.

The contract also stipulates that once the box office of the film does not exceed 100 million in the mainland, Shao Shuaijun's 10% director's share will be reduced to 5%, and the other 5% will make up for the losses of the three investors. Correspondingly, the production and shooting of the film are fully responsible for Shao Shuaijun's studio, and investors have no right to interfere.

At the same time, the overseas box office, because several film companies, do not have very good overseas distribution channels. Therefore, we will look for a third-party issuance, and in addition to the agency fee, the three companies and Shao Shuaijun each account for 25% of the profit distribution.

Fourth, Huayi Brothers has reached a financing agreement with TOM Group to repurchase 45% of the equity of Taihe Investment on the basis of the original Huayi Brothers Taihe Film and Television Investment Company and form a new company, Huayi Brothers Media Group. TOM Group obtained 30% of the shares of the new company with a financing of 10 million US dollars, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei obtained 65% of the shares of the new company, and Shao Shuaijun obtained 5% of the shares of the new company at a price of 30 million yuan.

The new company, Huayi Brothers Media Group, has a registered capital of 126 million yuan, and has truly become a giant company in the mainland entertainment industry.

Everything went smoothly, which made Shao Shuaijun feel very comfortable. Once reborn, he doesn't have any big ambitions so far, and it seems that it is enough to make his favorite movies and enjoy a happy life with his family at the same time.

On the first Monday of November, in Hong Kong, Huayi Brothers Media Group held a grand press conference. Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Shao Shuaijun, and Stephen, the representative of TOM Group, sat down on the rostrum. For this action, almost all the famous media across the country, whether it is entertainment media or economic media, have flocked to it.

Today's protagonists are the Wang Zhongjun brothers and the TOM Group, as the first private entertainment company in China's IPO action, the impact is certainly far-reaching. With the rapid development of the domestic economy, the entertainment industry is also booming, and it will surely occupy a greater position in people's lives and the country's economy in the future.

It can be said that the IPO of Huayi Brothers is not only the progress of Huayi Brothers, but also the progress of the entertainment industry in the mainland. It indicates that the mainland is opening up its entertainment industry, and it will exude a fatal temptation to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and foreign capital.

Feng Xiaogang, who is promoting the new drama "No Thieves in the World" in Hong Kong, also attended the press conference with Ge You, Xu Fan and Li Bingbing. Looking at Shao Shuaijun sitting stupidly on the stage, Feng Xiaogang was not jealous that it was a lie, but it was a pity. Don't look at Feng Xiaogang's fame is greater than Shao Shuaijun's, but he doesn't have as much money as him.

Feng Xiaogang makes movies, earns hard-earned money, and spends money lavishly, every time he makes a movie, he has to find money everywhere to invest, and he really doesn't have much value to buy shares in Huayi Brothers. Shao Shuaijun succeeded too quickly, especially "Crazy Stone", he invested by himself, and earned more than 20 million yuan in the mainland alone, and the successive releases in Southeast Asia have achieved good box office.

It can be said that he made forty or fifty million dollars, and he had enough money to invest in buying shares.

Why is the gap between people so big? Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, Shao Shuaijun also sighed: "The current entertainment industry is really profitable, Huayi Brothers only has a capital of more than 100 million, and the market value of 10 billion in later generations." Think about it, now that celebrities are making films, the superstar level is worth millions, and the second- and third-tier stars of later generations will have to be tens of millions when they appear, which can't be compared! ”

Time is in a hurry.

After coping with the IPO of Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhonglei announced on the spot: "Huayi Brothers Media Group has a bright future, and we have invested in music, brokerage, television, film, advertising and other businesses. As the first business plan after the establishment of the new company, I hereby solemnly announce that Huayi Brothers Media Group, together with Poly Bona and Media Asia Variety Show, will invest 100 million yuan, and the latest film "Source Code" directed by Shao Shuaijun will be officially approved! ”

Crash!

The flash of the entertainment media suddenly exploded, 100 million. How many domestic films have an investment of more than 100 million?

'95's "Red Fan Zone", "Thunderbolt", '97's "A Good Guy", '00's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", '02's "Hero", this year's "New Police Story" and the upcoming "Ambush on All Sides", next year's "Wuji" and "If Love" have exceeded 100 million, and in addition, there is no one!

There are only nine Chinese films in the entire total, claiming to have invested more than 100 million yuan, but in fact, less than half of them are actually over 100 million.

"Source Code" is also an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and the media naturally knows that there is water in it, but it is definitely a large investment, and it is definitely a hot news.

"May I ask Mr. Wang, is it too hasty to invest in a newcomer who has only made two movies and invest more than 100 million yuan?"

"It's not hasty, it's a decision made by the company after discussion. We are optimistic about "Source Code", and we are even more optimistic about director Shao Shuaijun, which will be a movie that makes money and earns word of mouth. ”

"May I ask Director Shao, as a newcomer, shooting sci-fi movies, or such a high cost, are you ready? What gives you so much confidence, what to do if you fail, have you ever thought about it? ”

Shao Shuaijun picked up the microphone and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "To be honest, I am a very commercial director, or rather, I am a director who likes to watch the market and make movies." What is the most profitable Chinese movie now? It's clear that comedies and romances are the most profitable, and I just have to think that I can start making a box office hit......"
