On February 25, after Feng Xiaogang's "No Thieves in the World" was released, the total box office revenue was 630 million.

Director Wang Yang's "Memories of Our Youth" continues to postpone the schedule, and the current box office revenue has officially exceeded the 400 million mark, with a box office of 427 million, and the box office on the 25th broke through 51.3 million box office in one fell swoop, creating the highest single-day box office record two weeks after the movie was released.

Whether it is a domestic movie or a domestic love movie, there is no movie that can exceed 50 million at the box office in a single day two weeks after its release, only Wang Yang's "Memory of Youth" has done it.

It's just that Wang Yang's investment in this film is also huge, and the box office exceeding 400 million only makes investors and theaters make money, as for director Wang Yang and Xingchi Media Company, that is, he and his company have just begun to return to their capital.

The box office of 400 million to 500 million is the only way to recover the cost of the movie.

But, that's it, Wang Yang has already won.

At 7 p.m. on February 25, 2006, Yanjing time, the awards of the 56th Berlin Film Festival were announced. Bauer Prize.

The main awards of the Berlin Film Festival are the "Golden Bear" and the "Silver Bear".

The "Golden Bear Award" is awarded to the best feature film, documentary, science and education film, and art film; The Silver Bear Award is awarded to the best director, actor or actress, screenwriter, music, cinematography, artist, youth work or feature film with special achievements. In addition, there are International Critics Awards and Special Jury Prizes. Crystal Bear Award, Best Debut Award, etc.

After "Early Spring" won the Silver Bear Award, Lao Jia and Wang Yang, two young directors, suddenly made headlines again. Once again, I brushed a lot of exposure.

"Early Spring" refreshed the record of Chinese domestic films and became the first film to win the Silver Bear Award.

This award has simply given wings to the box office, and the most important thing is that European theater giants and production companies have rushed to come, and they all know that "Early Spring" has broken the record of 400 million box office in China, and they came to negotiate contracts one by one.

Wang Yang and Hongyue hosted the first European cinema company, CinemaCity International, and the negotiator was Merlin. Harrison.

Merlin. Mr. Harrison was a handsome Englishman. He is very polite when he meets people, and he looks like an English gentleman.

"Ms. Hong, Mr. Wang. I'm really glad to meet you, we at CCI Cinemas are here with sincerity this time, hoping to buy out the screening rights of "Early Spring" in Britain, France and Germany in Europe for $20 million. ”

Westerners rarely leave room for negotiation, and the price is high as soon as they open their mouths. And only after they are completely convinced will it be possible to raise the price. Wang Yang and Hongyue had little communication with Westerners and few negotiation skills, so "Early Spring" was CCI2000 million dollars and won the screening rights in three European countries.

After sending away CCI Cinemas in the past few days, another French cinema company came over and bought out the screening rights of Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and other small European countries for $12 million, and bought out the rights to the videotapes for $3.5 million.

Immediately afterwards, a Japanese cinema company bought out the screening rights, videotapes, online movies, TV and movie screening rights, and other film copyrights of "Early Spring" in Japan for $12.5 million.

Han Guo also imported various copyrights of "Early Spring" for 2 million US dollars.

Singapore imported "Early Spring" for $1.5 million.

The last financier was Warner Bros. of Magnesium Country, who came over to bid $20 million to import and package all the copyrights of "Early Spring" in Magnesium Country. and screening rights.

As of the end of February, neither Wang Yang nor Hongyue knew how many foreign friends they had met. Nearly 22 contracts were signed alone, and the total revenue from the sale of rights reached $71.5 million.

After this huge amount of money arrived, according to Wang Yang's 40% investment in this movie, he suddenly earned 28.6 million US dollars, and according to the current 3:1 exchange rate, 28.6 million US dollars is 85.8 million Chinese dollars!

85.8 million Chinese dollars!

In just a few days, Wang Yang's film has created hundreds of millions of copyright income for him!

And another partner of Xingchi Media Company, that is, Yan Le, she is a 10% copyright owner, and she directly received 8.58 million Chinese dollars!

And the most surprising thing is Dai Mingwei, chairman of Hongwei Precision Group, a billionaire worth billions, as one of the largest investors, generously invested 50 million, occupied 50% of the copyright, and directly distributed 107.25 million copyright dividends!

After Dai Mingwei received 100 million dividends, he immediately flew from Taiwo to Yanjing and came over for dinner.

In the Yanjing Five-Star Hotel.

The film's two directors, as well as six actors, were present.

Dai Mingwei drank happily and said: "Mr. Wang, to be honest, I invested 50 million yuan to come in, just because I thought you were young and talented, and you will definitely have a future in the future, but my old Dai never thought that this movie would be so profitable!" I invested 50 million, the copyright income is 100 million, and the box office income has also returned to the capital, and then we are really just waiting to put money into our pockets! ”

Dai Mingwei was so excited, he said: "Mr. Wang, do you have any other film plans, don't say 50 million this time, even if you spend 500 million to make a movie, I will also strongly support you!" ”

Everyone is full of red faces, "Early Spring" has a bumper harvest of word-of-mouth, box office income, and copyright income, and after this film won the Silver Bear Award, an international award, all the actors also won their own awards.

Tong David also immediately stood up and poured wine to Wang Yang and said: "Director, thank you, thank you for inviting me to play the important actor in this movie, if it weren't for this movie, I wouldn't have been nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, this is my first film nomination, although I didn't win the award, but the director, I need David to act in the future." One phone call David came! ”

"You're welcome." Wang Yang smiled and nodded.

Huang Xiaoming also hurriedly stood up to toast, although he didn't have any movie nominations, but his recent popularity and appearance fees have become popular all of a sudden.

Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, and Yang Liying are four actresses. They also came over to toast with a smile, for them, the biggest receipt of this movie is to meet a young director like Wang Yang.

After Wang Yang was poured some wine here, and then Jia Zhangke, Wang Yang waited for the actors to salute Lao Jia, and then he hurriedly toasted Lao Jia.

"I think the biggest hardship of this film is directed by Jia, without his hard work in filming and editing. "Early Spring" is unlikely to win the Silver Bear Award, come, let's give Director Jia a cup! ”

Lao Jia's face was also red. He took this movie for money, but he didn't expect that after making this movie, he would go to Berlin to walk the red carpet and win the Silver Bear Award. This award is his second international award.

"Thank you as well. Speaking of Berlin, it really started my films, and I took "Xiao Wu" to the competition that year, and won the 48th Berlin International Film Festival Wolfgang. Stodder Award, I didn't expect that in the New Year of 2006, I finally won the Silver Bear Award, and once again stood on the international stage, I also want to thank Director Wang, Director Wang has the greatest credit. The script was written by Director Wang, and Director Wang also invested a huge amount of cost and effort in the movie. Director Wang is under more pressure than all of us, Director Wang, we must cooperate more in the future! ”

"A must!" Wang Yang also smiled happily.

In the end, Yan Le also stood up and toasted Wang Yang and said with a smile: "Thank you Director Wang, I was still skeptical about the movie "Early Spring" at the beginning, but now I understand that I have an inaccurate grasp of the market, and I, the producer, are not qualified, please punish Mr. Wang." ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Yang laughed and waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yan, don't kill me, everyone said after listening, Mr. Yan is really my Bole, if it weren't for Mr. Yan to dig out the copyright of my "First Time", we established Xingchi Media by chance, and there is no such thing as today, so everyone respects Mr. Yan with a glass of wine!" ”

"Respect Mr. Yan!" Everyone got up one after another round.

After this toast, everyone basically drank red-faced.

Dai Mingwei pondered for a while, he patted the table and said: "Mr. Yan, Director Wang, Director Jia, Director Wang, his daughter-in-law, and everyone, I think our group will not disperse, just set up a large company, how about I invest in shares?" ”

"Haha......" Everyone couldn't help but be happy when they heard Mr. Dai shouting that Hongyue used Wang Dao and his daughter-in-law.

Xingchi Media was founded for just half a year, because of a movie, a Wang Yang, and now it has become a small and small trouble, and it has become a domestic production company with representative works, and the founders Wang Yang, Hongyue, and Yan Le will naturally earn more in the future.

Dai Mingwei invested 50 million this time, but he calculated, the copyright made him earn 100 million, and the box office is currently 400 million, and the cost of 50 million is also there, he estimates that when the movie is released on the 10th next month, there will be more than 700 million box office, and if there is a total of 700 million box office income, he will make money, and the remaining 300 million will directly earn 150 million.

After careful calculation, 50 million was invested, and the copyright and box office were divided, making a full profit of 300 million and a net profit of 250 million!

Dai Mingwei found that this is a very cost-effective investment, and the annual return on investment has reached 300%!

Hongwei Precision Electronics Group, which he established himself, earned 6.3 billion yuan, but this is after 30 years of hard work! Dai Mingwei is 52 years old this year, and this value is actually the value of the company, shares and real estate, and there is not much real liquidity.

Dai Mingwei's gross income is now 1 billion a year, and his personal net income is actually 20 million, most of which is invested in the development of the company and the maintenance of 6 billion worth of assets.

Business tycoons don't look at themselves and have billions of dollars at every turn, in fact, they have hundreds of millions of working capital in their personal hands, and their lives are the same as Wang Yang's, at most they own sports cars, villas, and private jets, but they are not necessarily as comfortable as Wang Yang.

"If Mr. Dai wants to buy shares...... Wang Yang looked at him, and he was hesitating in his heart, in fact, if Xingchi Media wants to develop and expand, Yan Le, Hongyue and his three shareholders alone can't become bigger, but Dai Mingwei, a layman shareholder, has an advantage, a disadvantage, and an advantage is that Dai Mingwei will not interfere too much with Xingchi, Xingchi is basically the same as before, but with one more shareholder, you can expand your business after having more funds, but there are also disadvantages, because Xingchi lacks insider shareholders, In the process of development, there will definitely be a lack of experience and a lot of detours, and if Dai Mingwei intervenes, the end of the company can really be predicted.

Yan Le, Hongyue, and Dai Mingwei also stared at Wang Yang, to be honest, they thought it was okay to let Dai Mingwei become a shareholder, but the funds for the shares, as well as the proportion of equity they occupied, had to be calculated carefully.

"In this way, Mr. Dai, you also know the current equity holding of our Xingchi, I and Mr. Yan each have 40%, Hongyue has 20%, this time to buy shares, I think the three of us each give 3.3%, I 3.4%, together with you to make up 10% of the equity, my idea is that the total share capital is set at 100 million shares, you hold 10 million original shares, as for the price, I suggest another board meeting to discuss and negotiate."

"Okay, okay, let's have a meeting another day, a meeting." Dai Mingwei also knew that this was not a trivial matter, so he naturally had to hold a meeting to discuss it carefully.

*******

That night, after the banquet was over, Yan Le, Hongyue, and Wang Yang did not leave the hotel, and discussed Dai Mingwei's shareholding in the upstairs room.

Yan Le said: "Mr. Dai is good, I don't know what Director Wang thinks about you?" ”

Wang Yang said: "This time Lao Dai became a shareholder, my idea is not to be in a hurry to expand the business, that is to say, this time to become a shareholder, we are just starting a small business, change some money to improve our lives." ”

Hongyue paused for a moment and said: "We will also earn at least 200 million in this movie, Lao Dai will earn 250 million, and you still have 170 million funds in your account, so do we still have to buy shares to make money?"

Yan Le also said: "Yes, I estimate that I also have an income of 50 million this time, even if you let me spend money, it is impossible to squander it extravagantly." ”

Wang Yang looked at the two short-sighted women, and he said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, everyone has made money this time, but have you ever thought about why Lao Dai became a shareholder?" ”

Yan Le and Hongyue thought about it carefully, and they both understood.

"Lao Dai is not an insider...... Let's not talk about things so far away, how much does it cost for the two of you to open a share? ”

"I ......" Yan Le thought about it seriously, and she said: "I see that one share is 5 Chinese dollars?" ”

One share is 5 Chinese dollars, and 10 million original shares are 500 million, and the three of them are actually 500 million.

Wang Yang really didn't expect Yan Le to be such a bold woman, it seems that he thinks of women very simply.

"Okay, since you said 5 yuan a share, then 5 yuan."

Yan Le was also speechless, she said hesitantly: "It's just 5 yuan per share, which is equivalent to the company's total value of 5 billion, can Lao Dai be so generous?" ”

"Hehe, I'm sure he'll take a stake." (To be continued......)
