Chapter 176: 40 Million Investment
"It's a pity!" Even Han Sanping couldn't help but regret it. {3.
If the script is changed and does not involve the Japanese invasion of China, then Sony Colombia's investment will be in hand.
However, Wang Qinian's principles, in turn, made Han Sanping admire.
If Wang Qinian had agreed to the Japanese boss's request just now and succumbed to them, Han Sanping might have lowered his opinion of him in his heart.
Of course, the current situation is that Colombia, which has deep pockets, withdraws early, and the funds need to be borne by all parties.
The script is a good script, and Wang Qinian's ability has also been tested by the box office market.
"The Gate of Destiny" and "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" are more popular than the other, and one is bigger than the other. But Wang Qinian can not only shoot small-budget films, but also control large-scale productions, which proves that his growth potential is amazing, and he is a promising director!
It's just an investment of 3ooo yuan, which is indeed a bit much!
Well, at least for the domestic film industry!
"We can invest 15oo in Golden Harvest, but the overseas copyrights are all owned by us!" The representative of Jiahe, who had been silent, finally spoke.
At this time, Golden Harvest was in a period of scarcity, and after Jackie Chan's "Who Am I" was a big hit, it was weak later. Moreover, Jackie Chan's breakup with Golden Harvest is already a sure thing.
Therefore, Golden Harvest had to invest in the works of other directors to replace the decline brought about by Jackie Chan's departure.
"15ooo to buy overseas copyrights, this is too greedy, right?" The other partners present shook their heads one after another.
To know. The current big 6 film market is very weak, with a total annual box office of less than 1o billion. Even if Golden Harvest invests 15oo yuan, they still have to invest 15oo yuan.
And 15oo yuan in China, it takes 6ooo box office to recover the cost, but barely recover the cost, who wants to do it if it is not profitable?
Everyone is counting on the overseas box office to bring surprises to the movie!
"Well, count me too greedy! But. It is still a capital contribution of 15oo yuan. I got a 37.5% share! However, can we do it with Golden Harvest overseas, and only take 1o% commission! "The representatives of Golden Harvest saw that many investors were opposed, and the partner companies did not support it. Thereupon. The plan was quickly adjusted.
After everyone heard this. It's not as opposed as it used to be.
After Jiahe Company invested 15oo yuan at the bottom, China Film Group decided to invest 8oo yuan. Relay Publishing House invested 4oo yuan, and Maitian Music Company invested 3oo yuan.
In this way, the film has been funded by 3ooo million yuan. It's done.
The small partner company does not contribute funds, but there are directors, leading actors, etc. remuneration offset cash contributions, and the remuneration of each person is added up, which is equivalent to 1ooo million yuan, and Wendìng takes 25% of the film share.
In fact, everyone in the partner company has zero remuneration and counts the remuneration as cash contribution. In fact, it is also for reasonable tax avoidance, you must know that if you get paid, you have to pay personal income tax.
Coupled with the fact that the film itself has to pay various taxes of 8%, the final income will be lost.
And they themselves take a zero salary, and the investment is counted as a small partner company, so the money is transferred to the account of the small partner company, and only the company's part of the tax is paid, but it can be reasonably avoided tax.
Even if the money is taken out in the form of shareholder dividends in the future, the stamp duty is only 1o%, which is far more cost-effective than paying personal income tax.
……
The film investment of "Jianghu" is claimed to be 4ooo yuan, of which half of it is that several shareholders of the partner company have converted their own remuneration, and 3ooo yuan is the actual investment.
However, it is also a very large investment. Although the contract was signed, it would not be until at least the beginning of November for the funds to arrive in full.
However, at present, 1ooo yuan of funds have been put in place, and Wang Qi began to start preparations for casting and costume props.
In terms of costumes and props, the costumes of the people at the bottom of the Republic of China are needed, as are the costumes of the police, students, the army and other professions.
However, in terms of school uniforms, Wang Qinian asked for a better design according to the characteristics of the Republic of China. If a beautiful student wears it, she wants to become a goddess of the Republic of China, and a boy can also become a male god of the Republic of China when she wears it.
If it's not beautiful or handsome...... This can't get along with the box office!
The protagonist of the movie "Jianghu", Wang Qinian is still mainly based on the old team, the actor Li Xia in the film, the role is arranged to Li Jie, and the role of the first heroine Zhao Xiaolu is arranged to the company's actress Yang Weiwei.
It's not that Wang Qinian doesn't want to praise newcomers, but on the one hand, the old team is more familiar and reliable, and on the other hand, the yield of praising his own people is higher.
It is an investment in his films, not charity.
Outsiders who have not signed a long-term contract with the company will give them some supporting roles at most. Important role, it's not even a thought about it.
Any company is focused on creating some superstars.
Because, the economic effect of superstars may be dozens of times higher than that of ordinary first-line stars. Perhaps, in terms of salary and box office appeal, superstars may have a gap of two or three times compared with ordinary first-line stars.
However, after becoming a superstar, advertising endorsement cooperation, and various benefits around him, are often dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary stars.
For example, a first-line star receives an advertisement with an endorsement fee of 3o yuan a year, and he can receive more than ten endorsements a year and earn millions, which is already very good.
At the superstar level, you can get a million-level endorsement fee, you want to go crazy for money, and it is not a dream to receive hundreds of advertising endorsements in one go, and earn hundreds of millions a year.
For example, superstars like Jackie Chan and Andy Lau definitely earn much more money from advertising endorsements than their movie salaries. It is also very normal to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising endorsement fees a year.
In fact, the vast majority of celebrities later made money from advertising in film and television and other industries.
However, to maintain their fame and worth, celebrities still need to continue to receive film and television dramas to gain exposure and topicality, which is conducive to improving and maintaining their value. Only by maintaining this kind of popularity, which can be seen by the outside world, can a large number of high-quality advertising endorsement contracts be obtained.
Of course, the company's artists can take a cut when they cooperate in external advertising endorsements or commercial performances. At present, the income generated during the brokerage contract of all the signed artists of the company can be taken by the partner company 2o%!
Since the beginning of this year, the brokerage commission drawn by the partner company for its artists has reached 3oo yuan. Obviously, the signed artists have been contributing a steady stream of profits to the company.
It is precisely for this reason that partner companies are more keen to praise their own artists. This allows the company not only to get a share of the film and television accounts, but also to increase the value of its artists, which is actually a disguised increase in the assets of the partner company!
