Chapter 141: Preparing for "People in Embarrassment"

(PS: Lao Zhong rolled at 360 degrees in place, crying and begging to subscribe.) )

"Boss, these are the current financial situation of our company! Take a look. ”

Chen Xi doesn't like to be called Mr. Chen by others, but if he is in the company, it is not appropriate for anyone to call him Director Chen.

So, Yue Tong and the others are people who have entered the company through guò poaching, and what they are doing has nothing to do with the movie, so they all call Chen Xi the leader.

This is also a more appropriate name, avoiding a lot of things.

Chen Xi turned out the financial statements, and his heart was a little heavy.

Lack of money! He's really short of money!

Looking at it now, his heart is even heavier.

The funds for the creation of "Deep Space Film and Television" mainly came from two aspects: the profits of "Latent" and the copyright of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

The profit of "Latent" plus the copyright of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" made the company have 40 million at that time, and now after adding the profit share of "Border Storm", theoretically speaking, the company should have 55 million yuan as financial support.

However, a lot of money was spent.

"Border Storm", "Raid", "Olympic Rush" and other works, they use the method that the investment in this kind of film or program itself is not included in the company's daily expenses, even if it is accounted for in the income of the film.

All the investment in "Border Storm" has been calculated, so the current investment in film and television works is mainly in "Raid" and "Olympic Rush Forward".

So far, "Raid" has invested 5.08 million yuan, and this money is becoming many details of the filming, which are gradually appearing.

"Olympic Rush Forward". So far, the cost of venue fees, equipment, talents and many other aspects has reached 3.74 million yuan.

This investment even sounds a little unbelievable...... But in fact, it is really like that, the integration and re-modification of the entire site is more expensive. And there must be those who come from Jiangnantai, but need to pay their salaries on their side......

In short, the whole thing is full of ...... Chen Xi commented on extravagance.

"It's extravagant! How did you spend so much money! ”

Chen Xi was indignant.

"Ahem!"

Yue Tong coughed dryly, and reminded Chen Xi beside him: "Boss, what we are doing now is what you said." Quality must be guaranteed. ”

"You don't understand if you don't do that." Chen Xi himself was also deflated: "But what should be spent still has to be spent, so let's do it now!" ”

Now, the two projects of "Raid" and "Olympic Rush Forward" have cost Chen Xi nearly 9 million, and the company's liquidity should be more than 40 million.

But. The company's daily expenses!

This aspect is also a big head!

Every month, the company's normal expenses will be between 200,000 and 300,000 yuan, and in some months it will exceed 500,000 yuan.

In terms of company expenses, from its inception to the present, the company has spent 8.7 million dollars, which is very helpless, but you also have to do it.

As a result, now on the books of the company. There are still 37.36 million funds, but 10 million will be left as the cost of publicity after "Raid", and 5 million will be left as the follow-up funds for "Olympic Rush Forward". Of course, there is also a need for about 5 million to deal with the company's emergencies.

So do the math......

The money they can use is only 17.36 million left!

17.36 million yuan...... This is a dangerous number.

That's why Chen Xi said that the money was not enough.

The investment in any movie will eat up more than 10 million.

In fact, the profitability of "Deep Space Film and Television" so far is still quite good, and it has earned more than 10 million just by virtue of movies, which in itself is enough to make many film and television companies envious.

Many film companies actually make too much money from film projects alone. Especially for large companies...... After all, they make a lot of money, but they also lose a lot.

Let's just say that there have been miracles in later generations, and the light media of movies. They have released super blockbuster films like "Thai Embarrassment", but their books are still not very good.

A lot of big studios want to make money. In the end, it has to be people-oriented: back to the star! Use movies and TV series to pick up these people, and then earn brokerage fees, just like the movie theater does not make money in the end, but the retail of surrounding small commodities and the rental and sale of shops......

These are some of the chaos in the film industry, and they are also some unavoidable phenomena.

Companies like "Deep Space Film and Television", which can still make pure movie profits now, are really rare.

However, after all, the film company has just begun to develop, and it is not easy to accumulate funds, compared to what Chen Xi wants to do, the current more than 10 million is really too little.

For example, if he wants to make a slightly medium-budget movie, more than 10 million is simply not enough...... Not to mention a commercial blockbuster! But the problem is that he is short on time now, and if he doesn't realize some of the things in his head, then time waits for no one.

And those ideas, any one, may invest hundreds of millions, less than that investment, you can't produce the quality of the original at all, even if you want to have a high imitation, there is no high imitation temperament......

Therefore, now for Chen Xi, his money is really far from earning enough, and there are many, many things that he is missing.

"It's a long way to go!" Chen Xi finally used this sentence as the end of this divergent thinking.

Then, Chen Xi said to Yue Tong: "Sister Tong, now on our company account, we will free up about 8 million funds first...... I'm planning to set up a film project, maybe around November! ”

"What?"

When Yue Tong heard this, he was immediately surprised and said, "Boss, aren't we filming "Raid"? How can a new film project come out now? And, why haven't I ever received wind on this matter? Now there are only two months left...... It's really in a hurry! ”

Yue Tong's words made Chen Xi think a little.

Sometimes I don't say hello in advance, and I feel a little like I want to come out at a time, and this kind of thing may not be so obvious to me, but if it is used in the whole company, it is easy to create problems.

Therefore, Chen Xi said: "I want to apologize to you in this matter, in fact, my film plan was known to everyone when the company was first established, especially Ou Yangzhi and Ye Dongnan, they all knew it, but because of the filming of "Border Storm" and "Raid", it has not been mentioned again, and now the company's account is not generous, but it is quite generous, so I plan to make this movie first." ”

Yue Tong frowned and listened to Chen Xi's explanation.

After a long time, she shook her head slightly at Chen Xi: "Boss, you don't have to apologize, after all, this company was also founded by you...... I just think, if we spread the stall too big all of a sudden, will we be in a bit of a hurry? What's more, there are more investment projects in our company now, and we will definitely invest a lot of this money at that time, can we find other companies to share the cost? ”

What Yue Tong said was a big problem.

A good man with three gangs......

Chen Xi also understands this truth......

Many movies, even if the investment is not high, are jointly produced by several film companies.

Therefore, after the success of "Border Storm", many companies, especially Huayi, who had cooperated before, had already put down the words to "Deep Space Film and Television": if there is a movie next, you must talk to them, and they will also invest together at that time.

Huayi is not the only film company that sent something similar...... It's the same with Chengtian and the like, and many times everyone is like a shark that smells fishy, and they will pounce immediately.

Many film companies also co-produce in this way, unless they are enemies, they are more willing to pull a large group of younger brothers behind them......

But now Chen Xi really doesn't want to be like them, because he did a lot of things in advance, because he has the advantage of foresight, he knows exactly what movies can be a big hit, and Chen Xi definitely doesn't want others to get a piece of the pie.

This is also human nature, truly selfless, and there are not too many people who want to pull others to get rich together.

The book "Raid", Hua Yi wanted to participate in the investment before, but after Chen Xi gave them the script, these people were frightened and stopped the plan, because this kind of script should be insulated from the mainland market......

So now Yue Tong has said this.

Chen Xi himself also knows that if he wants to mix in this circle, he can't be too unsociable, so if he has some large-scale and risky investment projects, he will ask everyone if they want to ...... together If it is some plans that can basically save the capital and make a little more money, it can also attract everyone, but some are too explosive, or "Deep Space Film and Television" exclusively owns it!

Others have pulled other film companies to invest together in order to save costs, and they also hope to share the risk together, but Chen Xi has pulled other film companies to invest together...... It's just to accomplish a human task.

At the moment, Chen Xi said: "This book will be very marketable, but we have a tight time to shoot, so we won't pull other companies...... Or is it enough for us to do the project ourselves, as for the stalls...... As you said, our company will also participate in the investment of many film and television projects, which are also stalls! ”

Hearing this, Yue Tong also knew that Chen Xi had made up her mind, she knew that Chen Xi was a director with his own ideas, if he really made up his mind, then it should be useless to say more.

At that moment, she spread her hands: "Okay, I can do the things on the books, and I will tell you when I do it." ”

"I'm sorry for you!"

"It's a matter of duty!"

After Yue Tong left, Chen Xi began to call Ye Siwei and asked her to spare a little time no matter what, and communicate with Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, because he was going to shoot "People in Embarrassment"! (To be continued) R640
