Chapter 21 Valuable Personal Support

Mao Yongyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Song Mu's solemn appearance, and vouched in the name of his Mao factory director, others were afraid that they would have been happy to blossom a long time ago, how could she still come to the bottom of the problem like this?

"Don't dare to say anything else, as long as there is no task in the factory, I can listen to you and help you work; The same goes for the production room and equipment in the factory, you can use it when no one uses it. ”

"There are indeed some of the old stubbornness you are worried about, and when it comes to reviewing and sending them out, I will try to help you pass." He finished the last puff of cigarette and threw the cigarette handle on the ground to extinguish it, "After the screening, the whole country dare not say, Haishi and the surrounding areas can be assigned to let the school organize children to watch the movie." Of course, the premise is that you can't go too far with this book. ”

"No, no, it must be full of positive energy, and no negative energy is added!" Song Mu patted his chest and promised.

"Positive energy? Even if you're using a random word, it's a good way to put it. ”

"......" Song Mu then remembered that positive energy is still a word in physics, and it has nothing to do with positivity. She hurriedly changed the topic, "How do you calculate the money for employing people?" ”

"Huh? This consciousness is okay, and I know not to take advantage of the public. Mao Yongyi smiled and nodded, "Well, I don't take advantage of you juniors." If this film can be completed, half of it will be drawn in the factory; If not, why do you need to count the money? ”

Half of the income seems like a lot. Especially when I know that the animation of the United States can generate more than 100 million box office. Therefore, Liu Xiaoping, Wang Xue and Li Xuelin's faces instantly became a little unsightly.

However, Song Mu and Han Yangqiu didn't think so. They know that Mao Yongyi is really doing his best. Hold it.

Not to mention the benefits of using the studio's manpower and material resources, helping to pass the review, and organizing movie viewing, even if the United States animation has a box office of more than 100 million, it is also the fourth animation!

In the context of the 80s, a few young people with no name or surname made an animation with an uncertain future. Mao Yongyi is not only willing to help take responsibility, but also promises to take only half of the profits. If this is not called full support. If you hold it, how can you call it full support? Hold?

Song Mu's gratitude in his heart could not be overstated. Looking at Mao Yongyi in front of her, the senior who she admired for both her lives, she bowed deeply.

"Thank you...... Thank you for your support. Hold. She said with a choked up.

The rest of the elite group, except for Han Yangqiu, was puzzled, but when they saw Song Mu so solemn, they also hurriedly followed suit.

"No, no." Mao Yongyi waved his hand at everyone, "I, too, I want to see the animation of our Huaguo in my lifetime and return to the world stage." ”

After sighing, he asked Song Mu the most realistic question: "I have also approved the article now. Holding also gave. You have to give me an account, five million soft girl coins, where are you going to go? ”

The rest of the elite group was also curious about the question. Therefore, when they heard Mao Yongyi ask, everyone also stretched their necks, waiting for Song Mu to give an answer.

Song Mu rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, wiped away the tears that were about to overflow, and cleared his throat before saying, "With this kind of branch of yours. Hold, where to use five million, it is estimated that less than one million is enough. As for the method of making money, it is not an uncommon method, I plan to change the script after a while, and go out to attract investment after some original paintings. ”

"How to attract investment in an animation?" Mao Yongyi was a little puzzled in reality, and then realized, "You mean to pull sponsorship?" I have heard of "Journey to the West", which is now broadcast on TV, and has attracted three million sponsorships during filming. “

Song Mu shook his head and said, "If you want to pull sponsorship, you have to have a way, I don't have this kind of relationship." What I'm looking for is either sponsorship or investment......"

Everyone was a little puzzled, and Song Mu didn't know how to explain it, but Han Yangqiu understood the difference: "Sponsorship is equivalent to letting people give money for free, and investment is to let people give us money to make films, and then calculate dividends after the release." ”

Investing in films, this practice has been common in the world, and it is also commonplace in later generations of China. However, in China in the 80s, it was still a relatively new concept.

After a few words of Han Yangqiu's explanation, Mao Yongyi immediately understood the. Works, is it nothing more than the introduction of the "spring breeze of reform" into animation production?

He couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, it's Xiao Song, this head is the spirit. Live. Speaking of which, I'm kind of 'invested' in your anime. ”

Han Yangqiu didn't say anything about the bad scenery of "foreign countries are like this now", and Song Mu still said "hehe" and confused the past.

Mao Yongyi felt that this method seemed to work, so he no longer said more about the funds, but told them to improve the script as soon as possible and attract sponsorship to start production as soon as possible. As for the studio, they are not going to assign any tasks to the elite team in the short term. Their top priority is to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the production of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".

After arranging all this, Mao Yongyi left happily. However, the office of the elite group exploded.

Liu Xiaoping and others were not very happy, although "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" was able to start work immediately, but in their opinion, it was too much for the studio to share half of the profits.

"Half of that is more than 50 million! Why can they take 50 million?! She said excitedly, and she didn't think of herself as a studio person anymore.

Song Mu looked at their excited appearance and couldn't cry or laugh, and comforted them back to their seats, which told them about the relationship between box office and income.

In fact, the box office of a movie does not equate to revenue.

First of all, according to the different taxes of each country, a part of the taxes and fees must be deducted first; secondly, about half will be distributed to theaters and theaters; After the cinema chain is divided, the issuer will charge the distribution agency fee according to the percentage; After these parts are divided, it is the turn of the filmmaker to divide the money.

In other words, even if "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" can really sell 100 million at the box office, when the elite group and the studio divide the money, it may be more than 40 million in total.

"Then again, lead. The director not only let us start the production now, but also gave us such a big support. Hold," Song Mu finally concluded: "The budget of five million is compressed to one million. It's worth four million. People only get 50% of the investment of 80%, do you still think the factory is pumping too much? ”

After listening to Song Mu's explanation, Li Xuelin and the others calmed down.

Song Mugang was about to plan the next work with them, but saw Liu Xiaoping suddenly say in hindsight: "Why can the theater chain take away 50 million?!" ”

Song Mu: "......"

Liu Xiaoping, are you calling "100,000 why"!
