Chapter 203: Lack of money
After sending off Hou Hongliang and the others, Chen Jing returned to the office with a slight frown.
Worried about money!
The total investment of "Langya Bang" is about 100 million yuan, and Chen Jing's current capital is about 64 million.
But Chen Jing can only come up with 20 million, because Chen Jing is still waiting to invest in Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior", not to mention the "Predecessor Raiders" and "Shanshan is Coming" planned by Crystal Entertainment next year.
All of this costs money!
Think about the way to make money, one is a loan, Chen Jing bought 5 villas and 2 large flats, so that he can borrow money.
The other is to sell the shares of Crystal Entertainment, Huayi and Guangxian have revealed this meaning to Chen Jing before, but the current valuation of Crystal Entertainment is too low, so Chen Jing refused.
In the future, if the company wants to develop and grow and invest in many film and television dramas, then hundreds of millions of funds are at least, but this is a huge pressure on Chen Jing.
Therefore, in order to obtain better development funds in the future, it is inevitable to accept shares.
But now the value of the company has not risen, and it will lose a lot if it is sold, so it can only take out a loan.
Of course, as the first brother of Xingmei, if Chen Jing asks Xingmei to borrow money, Xingmei is probably willing, but the amount should not be too big, and the involvement is deeper.
Therefore, the best thing to do at the moment is to go for a mortgage.
"Sister Chang." Chen Jing picked up her mobile phone and dialed the phone.
"Chen Jing, how are you resting?" Chang Jihong asked with a smile.
"I rested for two days and relaxed a lot." Chen Jing said with a smile, "I came to Sister Chang to ask you for two things. β
"What's the matter, let's talk about it!" Seasonal Red Road.
"The first thing is that I want to mortgage the real estate loan, and the second thing is that I want to invest in a company called "Syllabic Beat", and I want to trouble Sister Chang to help me inquire. Chen Jing said.
"Loans? Are you short of money right now? Chang Jihong frowned slightly when he heard this.
As Chen Jing's agent and the CEO of Xingmei's 100 billion yuan, she is very clear about Chen Jing's ability to attract gold.
As far as Chang Jihong knows, Chen Jing has definitely made more than 100 million dollars, of course, spending money is really extravagant, but it is barely a squander.
Whether it is investing in film and television dramas or buying a house or a car, it is not outrageous, it is the right way.
"I'm not short of money myself, but the company is short of money, and I'm going to shoot a film and television drama next year, and I need a lot of money." Chen Jing said. _o_m
Chang Jihong nodded when he heard this, and it was estimated that it was the same, but he still opened his mouth to persuade, "Are you sure you want to invest in your own company?" Although "33 Days of Broken Love" has made a lot of money, the investment in film and television dramas is too large and the risk is also great.
Especially for a company like yours that only relies on one person, there are too many celebrities who have fallen behind in this area in the past.
This is also the reason why everyone is only willing to take money, or use remuneration to invest in shares and dividends, but will not personally pay for investment. β
"I know it's safest to just get paid, but I still want to try." Chen Jing said.
Chang Jihong heard this, "Okay, I know. β
Chang Jihong knows Chen Jing's character very well, so he no longer persuades him.
"I'll go to the bank for you to see, and I'll ask a friend to ask you about the syllables that beat, wait for my news." Seasonal Red Road.
"Thank you, Sister Chang!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
Loans are the cheapest option of the moment, and there should be nothing to say about investment syllables.
It's the end of 2012, and Chen Jing thought of this one when she had just established a future super Internet company.
What's more important is that syllable beats are closely related to the entertainment industry, and the headline department can also become a voice for itself in the future.
There will be no negative news or no channel for being smeared without a voice.
At the same time, the headline system, especially Shake Yin, is also an important place for publicity, which is very beneficial to the promotion of works.
In addition, the market value growth of syllable beating is no worse than that of Pain Xun and Ahri, and investing now will be a hundredfold and thousandfold return in the future.
Therefore, Chen Jing has no reason not to invest.
However, one of the Internet companies is a gold-swallowing monster, and Chen Jing may not be able to account for too many shares even if he invests, but he can still be a shareholder if he has an identity.
It is enough for the price to skyrocket.
Chen Jing is also ready to continue to invest in Huayi Brothers, after all, it is still early in 2015, buy now, and make money in the future.
Moreover, it can deepen the relationship with Huayi and facilitate the acquisition of good resources.
After the call ended, Chen Jing calmed down and began to write songs.
Since there is a promise to release a single, then it must be finished first.
Chen Jing is not going to write more, and it should be okay to release about 6 singles a year, after all, it is free, and everyone should not ask for too much.
After thinking about it in his head, Chen Jing quickly wrote down the names of several songs.
"Bead Curtain", "Ordinary Road", "Nanshan South", "Dust in the Fireworks", "It's a pity that there is no if", "The Thief of Time"!
It took a day to write these six songs, and Chen Jing went directly to Huayi Music the next day.
"Mr. Zhang, are you busy?" Chen Jing came to Zhang Yadong's office and asked.
"Chen Jing!" Zhang Yadong looked up and saw Chen Jing stunned, and then there was a burst of surprise, "The song is written?" β
Chen Jing shook her head when she heard this, "It seems that Zhang is always singing at me, not me!" β
"Of course, my sexuality is normal." Zhang Yadong smiled, "Sit!" β
Chen Jing sat down with a smile, and then handed the song to Zhang Yadong.
Zhang Yadong took it and looked at it, "Tea, coffee, and drinks are available, take it yourself, I'll watch the song first." β
Chen Jing was not surprised when she heard this, and took a bottle of Nongfu Spring and drank it.
"Young, I've written a Chinese style song!" Zhang Yadong said with a smile.
"Hey, foolish play, try everything." Chen Jing said nonsense, "In this way, Mr. Zhang, you look first, I'll be out for a while and I'll come back." β
Zhang Yadong didn't say anything, just waved his hand.
So Chen Jing came out and came to Huayi Film.
"Young, isn't this Boss Chen?"
Chen Jing looked up and said with a smile, "Brother Kaizi! β
"you!" Zheng Kai rushed over directly when he heard this, and pretended to give a punch, "Brother Kai is Brother Kai, what is Brother Kaizi?" β
"Hehe, who is this?" Chen Jing looked at Chen Chi Equator on the side.
"This is my college classmate, Chen Chichi, who is also an artist of Huayi." Zheng Kai said, "This one doesn't need to be introduced!" β
"Of course, we don't have too many elves in our school." Chen Chichi smiled, "Hello, Boss Chen, I'm Chen Chichi. β
"Hello, Brother Chi." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Boss Chen, do you have something to do with Huayi?" Zheng Kai asked.
"I'm looking for Tian Yusheng." Chen Jing said.
"Tian Yusheng?" Zheng Kai was stunned when he heard this, "Who! β
"Templar Studios?" Chen Chichi asked.
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, then patted Zheng Kai's shoulder and said, "I went beforehand, maybe I will look for you again after a while." β
"Hey, let's have a meal together?" Zheng Kai shouted.
"Next time!" Chen Jing waved his hand.
"I won't say what I'm looking for next time." Zheng Kai shook his head and said.
Chen Chichi said, "I guess I'm looking for you to participate in the movie." β
"Acting in a movie?" Zheng Kai was stunned when he heard this.
"Tian Yusheng is from the Templar Studio, and they are both screenwriters." Chen Chi said, "Chen Jing should be about the script when he goes to him, and if he looks for you again, he will definitely have a role for you." β
Zheng Kai smiled when he heard this, "Boss Chen, it's quite interesting." β
"You've worked with him, how do you feel?" Chen Chichi asked. Error-free updates @
"Handsome!" Zheng Kai thought for a while and said, "It's so handsome, even I think it's handsome when I see it." β
Chen Chichi suddenly moved two steps away from Zheng Kai.
"What do you mean?" Zheng Kai said angrily.
Chen Chichi walked away directly, "You stay away from me!" β
"Don't go, you make it clear to me!" Zheng Kai immediately chased after him.
On the other side, Chen Jing found the Church Studio, "Is screenwriter Tian Yusheng here?" β
"You're looking for me?" Tian Yusheng stood up and said, "Chen Jing? β
"Hello, hello!" Chen Jing came over and said, "I don't know if you received the script that my company gave you?" β
γ
"Predecessor Raiders, right?" Tian Yusheng said suddenly.
"That's right." Chen Jing nodded and said, "Our company wants to invite you to direct, how are you thinking about it?" β
Tian Yusheng smiled when he heard this, "I'm just a screenwriter, and I majored in drama and literature, I'm curious how you came up with the idea of looking for me to be a director?" β
Chen Jing said secretly, I'm just returning the thing to its original owner, but it's really hard to explain, "You tell me first, what do you think of the script?" β
Tian Yusheng smiled when he heard this, "It's good, it's interesting, to be honest, some of the ideas are the same as what I've been dreaming about, it's a coincidence, and I've been thinking about writing a similar script recently."
But I didn't expect you to send it directly to me. β
Chen Jing smiled, "That's really good, it means that I've found the right person." How is it, have you ever thought about becoming a director? And investment is not a problem, I invest in my own company, and there is no problem with issuance, I can find Xingmei. β
"But I really haven't studied directing, I'm not sure!" Tian Yusheng hesitated a little.
In his previous life, Tian Yusheng was looking for a director after creating "Predecessor Raiders", but he didn't find a suitable one after looking around, so he picked up the guide tube by himself.
Chen Jing could see that Tian Yusheng's heart was moved, but he was not very confident.
This is also a matter of course, in China, the rights and status of screenwriters and directors are really different, who wants to be a screenwriter if they can be a director.
worked hard to write a script, but the investor had to change it, the director had to change it, the male number one had to change it, and the female number one had to change it, and it directly became a four-way street.
"I just want to find a young director, because young directors can better fit the script, and also understand the living conditions and emotional conditions of young people today, so that the filming can be more realistic and detailed.
So, I hope you can think about it, and if you figure it out, just contact Crystal Entertainment directly. Chen Jing said with a smile.
Then, he patted Tian Yusheng on the shoulder and left.
Tian Yusheng glanced at Chen Jing's back, and then looked at the script at hand, his eyes flashed slightly.
After returning to Huayi Music, Zhang Yadong hadn't finished reading it, so Chen Jing could only wait.
"Yes, the quality is still at a par." Zhang Yadong said, "It seems that you haven't put down the creation of music. β
"Ahem...... Of course. Chen Jing said unashamedly.
"Okay, I'll arrange these six songs immediately." Zhang Yadong said, "When the arrangement is complete, I will contact you immediately, and then you arrange the next schedule, and we can record."
However, if you want it for free, you will have to pay for it yourself. β
"No problem." Chen Jing didn't care and said, "After the single is over, let's talk about the concert again!" β
"Finally figured it out?!" Zhang Yadong said with a smile.
Zhang Yadong mentioned the concert to Chen Jing before, after all, a super popular idol like Chen Jing, and he has released three albums in a row, and there is no concert, it is indeed rare.
"I want to understand the general situation of the concert first, and please give an introduction to Mr. Zhang." Chen Jing said, "For example, how much can I earn?" β
"There are two modes of account sharing for concerts, one is box office sharing, and the other is package price." Zhang Yadong said.
"Oh? Let's be specific. Chen Jing said.
In fact, for most singers, holding a concert is not a very lucrative project.
To hold a concert, you first have to be able to sell tickets, which is not sold out of tickets for most singers' concerts, except for popular idols and influential superstars.
I believe you can occasionally see the news that there are only a few people at the singer's concert, or most of the tickets cannot be sold.
For example, the concert of Pang Mailang in the later generations, 7 audiences, 14 security!
was jokingly called the most embarrassing concert in history by netizens, and it has become a famous scene!
It's like a singer releasing an album, most of them have poor album sales, and only a few top singers' albums can sell more than a million dollars. _o_m
The same is true for concerts, tickets cannot be sold without box office appeal, and concert tickets with strong box office appeal can be sold at sky-high prices.
Now popular singers or singers with more seniority can go to business casually.
Acting is more profitable than concerts.
But why do many superstar-level stars still prefer to hold concerts rather than too many commercial performances?
Look at the level of the god of songs, Liu Tianwang, and Chou Dong, they still have a soft spot for concerts.
In fact, although the concert is hard and the money is small, being able to hold a concert is a reflection of a singer's comprehensive ability, and it is also an important means to maintain the influence of a singer in the music world.
In contrast, commercial performances may make money faster and more, but in the long run, it will give people a feeling of making money out of anger, which is not conducive to the long-term development of singers!
As for how much money can be made from a concert?
This is not an easy question to answer, after all, this varies from person to person, and the first consideration for making money or not is definitely the influence of the singer.
Like the God of Songs, Dong Chou, and Liu Tianwang, there is definitely a chance that they can be earned.
Then there is the publicity ability of the brokerage company, which is really becoming more and more important with the development of the times, no matter how famous the star is, no matter how many fans, the box office may not be ideal if the publicity is not good.
On the contrary, many well-known singers now have the same superstar-like box office appeal through good marketing, so marketing is very important!
"For a concert, in addition to about 30% of the venue and security management fees, and about 30% of the publicity costs of the brokerage company, the rest can get less than 40% of the total box office at most!
As for how much money can go into the singer's own pocket, it depends on the contract between the singer and the agency or the sharing agreement signed before!
For superstars like God of Singer and Jay Chou, his team can get 40% of the box office share, and after deducting the cost to the team, an individual can probably get about 30% of the total box office for each concert.
Of course, there is another form of holding a concert is the package price, superstars like Song God and Chou Dong should choose the package price, that is, no matter what the brokerage company does, I will charge according to how much money is per show, I take mine, whether I lose or not is a matter of marketing by the brokerage company.
And you are holding a concert for the first time, and you have not yet proven your ability to sell tickets, so you will generally be given the first sharing model, but it still depends on how you talk about it.
If the negotiation is good, with your popularity, you may not be able to get the second model of the contract. Zhang Yadong said. @Β·error-free start~~
Of course, if a star's concert attendance rate is low and the box office is poor, resulting in the organizer losing money, the organizer will definitely be unhappy, and there will be all kinds of hacks on the Internet, and no one in the industry will dare to take this star's concert in the future.
Some stars had a miserable box office, and the organizer had to cancel the concert, and if they took the star's concert in the future, they would have to bargain.
The most popular singers in domestic concerts are God of Songs and Dong Chou, one is the God of Songs in Xiangjiang, and the other is the King of Asia.
Take the God of Singer as an example, in the 2012 Forbes China Celebrity List launched in April this year, the God of Singer did not participate in movies, did not shoot commercials, and purely relied on concerts.
Nearly 100 concerts have resulted in an income of 170 million yuan, and if there is no Chen Jing, this income will rank first among all celebrities!
The second is Wuyue Tian and Dr. Chen, the first line is super hot, and the third line is slightly insufficient.
"How much can I take? Let's take the god of song as an example. Chen Jing asked.
Zhang Yadong smiled and looked at Chen Jing when he heard this, "The singer set a Guinness World Record for his previous concerts, 146 concerts, with a total box office of about 1.85 billion RMB, and an average box office of about 13 million per game!" β
"According to the calculation of 13 million per concert, if I can get 30% per concert, it will only be 3.9 million." Chen Jing calculated.
This is really not profitable, especially compared with the labor intensity of commercial performances and advertising, and this is still calculated based on the box office of the god of songs, other singers can imagine.
Now Chen Jing's advertising endorsement is almost 2.3 times the price, and she doesn't have to rehearse hard for a few days like a concert and then sing all night.
Small concerts are about 60-90 minutes long, while large concerts are about 120-150 minutes, which is really a bit thankless.
It's no wonder that the popular idols of later generations love advertising and commercial performances.
Of course, if the number of concerts is large enough, you can also make a lot of money, like Chen Jing if she arranges a 2.
0 concerts, if they are all calculated according to the box office of 13 million, Chen Lin will be able to get 78 million.
However, the concert is really hard, and it is a great test of physical strength and voice, like Liu Tianwang in later generations, he had to cancel the concert because he was sick and his throat was uncomfortable, and he had to apologize.
However, the concert is a comprehensive test of the singer's personal live performance, popularity and box office appeal, and it also helps to enhance the status of the industry.
In addition, Chen Jing has never held a concert in her life, so she wants to try it, but she is the king of Asia, and it is a bit embarrassing to say that she has never held a concert.
"What do you think?" Zhang Yadong asked.
"I'd love to try it." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"That's no problem, Huayi Music also has the idea of hosting your concert." Zhang Yadong said, "And after three years of cooperation, maybe you can have a better return in terms of sharing."
As for when it will be held and how many times it will be sung, you need to talk slowly. β
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "Okay, I will let the company talk to Huayi, and please ask Mr. Zhang about the single." β
Zhang Yadong is only the production director of Huayi Music, only responsible for the creation, production and distribution of the album.
As for the concert, someone else is in charge, and Zhang Yadong is at most in it, and he can't handle it beyond his authority.
"Wait for my good news." Zhang Yadong said.
β¦β¦
"Where have you been today?" Yang Mi asked while eating Mao Xuewang.
Mina and Tianai also looked at Chen Jing curiously.
"I went to Huayi Music to talk about singles and concerts." Chen Jing said.
"Concert?" The three girls were shocked when they heard this.
"Boss, you're going to have a concert," Mina said with a look of surprise when she heard this.
"That's right, like Dong Chou, ***, Wang Lihong, they often hold concerts, and I, as the king of Asia alongside them, has no reason not to open it." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"It's long overdue." Mina laughed, "You don't know how many times the elves have urged them, and now they should be overjoyed, and I will tell them the good news right away." β
Mina doesn't like acting, loves maintenance, and chases dramas, and then she chats with the elves, plus she is well-informed, and she is an artist under Chen Jing, so she is very popular with the elves.
Mina's number of fans has exceeded 10 million, as evidenced by this!
"Don't yet, I haven't talked to Huayi Music yet, don't talk about it when the time comes, it's not good to break the appointment." Chen Jing said immediately.
"Alright then!" When Mina heard this, she regretted that she couldn't enjoy everyone's popularity.
"It's good to start a concert, and I'll be a guest of honor for you when the time comes." Yang Mi smiled when she heard this.
"Don't, I'm afraid you'll run away from the elves." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Haha......"
Yang Mi raised her hand and compared, "Is my singing so bad?" β
"Sometimes it's nice." Chen Jing squeezed her eyebrows and said. @*~~
Yang Mi glanced at Chen Jing coquettishly when she heard this, and then took an oyster and stuffed it into Chen Jing's mouth, "Eat your meal!" β
"Ahem...... Tian Ai suddenly coughed twice, then looked at Chen Jing and said, "Boss, do you know what day tomorrow is?" β
Chen Jing was stunned when she heard this, "What day?" β
"What!" When Tian Ai heard this, he immediately said coquettishly, "Boss, you are just eccentric, just remember Sister Mi, Mina and Xiaodi, I am a little transparent!" β
Mina couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
Yang Mi looked at Chen Jing again, in Yang Mi's opinion, Chen Jing was too good to her artists, she was not raising artists at all, she was really like raising a girl.
"If you say that, then I won't have a gift for you." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Ha, boss, do you remember?" Tian Ai smiled instantly when he heard this.
"Of course I have to do it." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Great!" Tian Ai couldn't help but applaud.
She is looking forward to the birthday gift that Chen Jing prepared for her.
Soon, the next day arrived.
Chen Jing invited all the employees of Crystal Entertainment to celebrate Tianai's birthday together.
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
βγ
Happy birthday to you! β
β¦β¦
In everyone's blessings, Tian Ai opened the birthday gift prepared for her by Chen Jing with an expectant face. _o_m
"Poof......
"Wow......"
"Haha, this gift is so straightforward, I like it!"
β¦β¦
Tianai was stunned, and then looked at Chen Jing with a smile! .
