Chapter 251: Postponement of Settlement
"It's about the division of the movie "Those Years"!"
Divide into?
Chu Shi's heart tightened, the secret path could not be that the producer planned to repay the debt, right? However, on the surface, he asked softly with an expressionless face, "What is the specific situation?" ”
The surface is quiet, but the heart is full of worry.
It is rumored that Chu Shi has a ten-figure net worth, and it is true, if the copyrights of the two programs "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "Voice of China" are sold, as well as all the shares of Ice World Entertainment Company in his hands, plus all the proceeds of the TV series "The Heirs", Chu Shi's net worth can easily break through the ten-figure mark.
But in fact, Chu Shi's liquidity is indeed not much!
The shares of "Where Are You Going, Dad" were exchanged for the shares of Ice World Entertainment Company, Chu Shi only occupied a few percent, and there were not many of them at the end of the first quarter, although the shares of Ice World Entertainment Company were a lot, but the company was in the early stage of development, and all of them were invested in it to develop the company, which was a joint decision of Chu Shi and Fan Bingling.
Otherwise, it would never have developed into what it is today!
The TV drama production department is in the early stages of development, but it already has a complete production team, and with the success of "Rouge Snow", Fan Bingling will inevitably expand this department.
And the variety show system can be said to have abundant funds, even if it pulls "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "Huaxia". The two teams of "The Voice" have been idle, and the team used for the third variety show of the Chu system also has quite sufficient funds.
After all, "Where Are You Going, Dad" has huge benefits.
But now, with Chu Shi digging up eight variety shows from Tang Dynasty Entertainment, he wants to support the production team of these variety shows. As well as all sorts of expenditures, all the savings have been exhausted. And if these eight variety shows want to make money, it will take at least a year later. And a year later, Ice World Entertainment Company is still in the stage of vigorous development, and it is already good not to invest money in it without Chu Shi and Fan Bingling, and it is impossible to make money.
After all, both Chu Shi and Fan Bingling pay more attention to the development of the company than to the immediate interests, so that although there is not much cash, the value of the company is rising, and the fixed assets of the two are also growing.
In addition to "Where Are You Going, Dad", the income of "The Voice of China" and "The Inheritors" has not yet been settled. The wealth owned by Chu Shi is mainly the hundreds of millions of income brought to him by the movie version of "Where Are You Going, Dad".
In addition, "The Voice of the Netherlands", "The Voice of America" and "The Voice of England" brought 6 million US dollars and 2 million pounds of income to themselves, which is converted into more than 60 million funds, which were also invested by Chu Shi in the TV series "The Inheritors".
And that's not enough! After all, the investment required for the TV series "The Inheritors" calculated by Nami Miyazaki is about 90 million, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Shi invested another 30 million in the crew of the TV series "The Inheritors" after getting the share of the movie version of "Where Are You Going, Dad".
Meanwhile. Chu Shi also spent 60 million in exchange for 49% of the shares of the entire Ice World Entertainment Company, and the liquidity owned by Chu Shi was only about 50 million. Next, he has to create his own TV drama production company, and the money can only be said to be barely enough.
Don't look at the rumors in the outside world how rich Chu Shi is, it can be implemented in reality. Chu Shi really doesn't have much money in his pocket, just the cash assets of a first-line star. I'm afraid it's all richer than Chu Shi.
"It's a terrible feeling to have no money in my pocket, and I'm counting on the settlement of the movie "Those Years". It can make me a pocket money, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will be disappointed again! ”
Deliberately ignoring Chu Shi's wrinkled face, Zhao Qingwei said with some apology in her tone, "Recently, there has been some problems in the relationship between Hurricane Entertainment Company and the video website they have cooperated with for a long time, and the financial aspect is also a little tight, so my master Feng Daran contacted me before, wanting to delay the settlement of the box office revenue of the movie "Those Years" for a period of time. ”
"As you know, Feng Daran is my respected teacher, and an independent filmmaker like me will rely on Hurricane Entertainment in many aspects in the future, whether it is making independent films or creating my own studio, so ...... I had no choice but to agree. ”
"Postponement of settlement? Is there any indication of how long it will be postponed? ”
"Two months!"
Zhao Qingwei directly stretched out two fingers, "The time for the movie to be released in theaters is 50 days, and it is two months for the video website to pay for on-demand, Hurricane Entertainment has promised me that as long as the revenue from the movie "Those Years" broadcast on the video website is fully received, it will be completely liquidated for us!" ”
"Liquidation in two months?"
Chu Shi hesitated slightly, but also understood the other party's thoughts.
Feng Daran is the major shareholder and first director of Hurricane Entertainment, and he can be called a mainstay, just like Chu Shi, the variety show producer in Ice World Entertainment, is as important as Chu Shi, and there are many of his people in the company, what happened, Feng Daran couldn't be more clear.
Something like this happened, as a close teacher-student relationship, Feng Daran would not deceive Zhao Qingwei, Chu Shi Chu Shi believed that Hurricane Entertainment was really in some trouble.
It may be a video cooperation website with the past, it may be financial, and it has little to do with Chu Shi, and there is no need to delve into it.
All in all, Hurricane Entertainment will not be able to come up with such a huge amount of funds for a while and a half, and can only wait until all the proceeds of online on-demand are received, and then settle for Zhao Qingwei when there are sufficient funds.
"It's a bit unreasonable to postpone the settlement, but I've already agreed, so I should give my sister a face, how about it?"
"If it weren't for Sister Wei, I'd still be playing with variety shows now, I don't know when I want to change careers to become an actor, I don't know when I have to wait, I can't give other people's face, and I can still give Sister Wei's face?"
Chu Shi agreed without hesitation, and what he said was indeed for Zhao Qingwei's face, but in his heart, he was dripping blood.
Another two months of poverty are coming!
It seems to be beautiful, but Chu Shi has almost 'penniless' life, looking forward to getting such a large sum of money to squander, buying a house and buying a luxury car has already made a plan, but he didn't expect that it would be postponed for a while, and even in this process, there will be a lot of losses!
The results of the movie "Those Years" on the premiere day were not very good, with a box office result of only 6.3 million, and from this point of view, the final benefit of this movie will not be too great.
But after that, the movie "Those Years" relied on its excellent quality, and the box office results continued to rise, and it won a box office score of 7.5 million on the second day, 11 million on the third day, 14 million on the fourth day, and 17 million on the fifth day......
In just five days, a total of 56 million horror box office results were obtained, in this era when small-budget movies can only get more than 100 million box office, it is already a demon-like achievement, and everyone predicts that this movie will become the benchmark for small-budget films in 2009!
All the producers of the movie "Those Years" will make a lot of money because of this movie!
Of course, although in the first five days, the box office growth of the movie "Those Years" was extremely terrifying, but on the fifth day, when the single-day box office score was 17 million, the potential of the movie had almost reached the limit, and there was not much room for improvement at all, and after the single-day box office reached 18 million on the sixth day, it could no longer break this record.
In the following time, the box office growth of the movie "Those Years" entered a relatively slow stage, until the fifteenth day, when the movie was released for half a month, the box office performance reached a peak, and the horror box office of 130 million made all small-budget movies red-eyed, and even many large-cost movies were helpless - this is already a box office result that can only be achieved by large-budget movies, but this is only the half-month result of the movie "Those Years".
After that, there was still a month and five days of release time - no one would worry or suspect that the movie "Those Years" was cut down early because of bad results.
In fact, although it is a small-budget investment movie, in fact, the attendance rate of the movie "Those Years" is declining faster than that of many 'blockbusters', this is an excellent work that tells about youth and can easily evoke people's memories.
This is also the director, in the 35 days after the movie "Those Years", the box office results are even higher than the first fifteen days!
You must know that under normal circumstances, the box office performance of a movie in the first fifteen days should be the same as the last thirty-five days, and even the follow-up box office growth of a slightly inferior popcorn movie is not strong, and the results of the thirty-five days are not as good as the first fifteen days.
The movie "Those Years" is different, although the follow-up growth is still not very much, but it is much higher than the first fifteen days, which also proves from the side that this is really an excellent movie work!
In the first fifteen days, the box office results were 130 million, and in the next 35 days, the movie "Those Years" won a horror box office result of 160 million.
In total, the movie was released in 50 days, and it frantically reaped 290 million horror box office results, although it is a pity that it was only able to squeeze into the 300 million box office club, but it is still quite a dazzling result, and it must be able to rank among the top of the movie box office list in 2009.
Otherwise, at the celebration banquet of the movie "Those Years", it is impossible for everyone to be smiling, and Liu Yushi and others have a strong sense of pride.
After all, such a terrible box office result, there is a credit to their desperate publicity, after putting in the best efforts to obtain gratifying results, anyone will have a strong sense of satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.
It's a pity that Chu Shi, who didn't participate in the whole process of publicity, couldn't experience this sense of satisfaction, and some were just depressed about delaying the settlement. (To be continued......) R1292
