The second investor meeting of Slope Capital was also set up in the Puhai General Hall of the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund.

The meeting started at two o'clock and was expected to end at four o'clock, Zheng Wentong and Xu Ru arrived at the hotel in advance, and Zheng Wentong invited the employees to have a lunch at the hotel.

Xu Ru teased the boss, "Mr. Zheng is in such a good mood, is it because of the news of "Yanjing Daily"? ”

"Netizens about entertainment news are more forgetful, they always pay attention to the next melon, and there are many unmarried children in the entertainment industry."

"There are no more than three situations for female celebrities to have children out of wedlock, one, the husband is an outsider, two, the identity of the child's father cannot be exposed, and three, the two have broken up."

Zheng Wentong sneered in his heart, Cecilia Cheung gave birth to a third son after the divorce, and Li Xiaolu derailed.

These people are like this, and there are still many fans on the Internet who are trying to whitewash them, are they afraid that the same thing will happen to them in the future, and they will be hammered to death and no one will sympathize with you?

Some people will be determined to be a director because they like Shen Teng's movies and will be admitted to the directing department of Puhai Drama Academy, and some people will become the top student in the provincial college entrance examination because they like Xu Song's songs.

Hu Ge has always persuaded fans not to come to visit him, because he had to book air tickets and stay in hotels, but when he arrived on the set, he could only see Hu Ge for a moment or two, and there was no way to interact.

Because Andy Lau wrote to him that there was no way to go to the big city to watch the concert, Andy deliberately put the first stop of the concert in Hoh.

Lin Zhixuan rushed to the ten-year appointment, and on November 11 of the tenth year, he sang "Single Love Song" with all the teachers and students of the school.

Compared with these high-quality idols, there is no soil for the variety shows that produce traffic stars to survive, so that the "fan circle" culture full of money and anger can be cleaned up.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the investor meeting started on time, and Zheng Wentong walked up to the rostrum wearing headphones.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Zheng Wentong from Slope Capital, and I am honored to invite you to participate in the second investor meeting of Slope Capital this year.

"In fact, before you come, you should have a brief understanding of this slope No. 2 private equity fund, this fund is to guarantee the release of "Mermaid" directed by Stephen Chow, please watch the big screen!"

In 2004, "Kung Fu", the mainland box office was 160 million, and it topped the annual box office, with a total national box office of 1.53 billion in 04;

In 2013, "Journey to the West", the mainland box office was 1.246 billion, topping the annual box office, with a total national box office of 21.7 billion in 13 years;

In 2015, the box office of "Monster Hunt" exceeded 2.43 billion, topping this year's annual box office, and the total box office in the country is expected to exceed 40 billion in 15 years.

"The Mermaid" directed by Stephen Chow, do you think the box office will be? Hundred million!

Xu Ru stood in the audience and looked at Zheng Wentong with a smile, Zheng Wentong's PPT is very infectious, so in comparison, it is easy for investors to think that "Mermaid" will win the annual box office champion, and the box office is expected to surpass "Monster Hunt".

After 2004, Stephen Chow also filmed "Yangtze River No. 7", with a box office of 173 million, but the box office champion of domestic films in 08 was "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Zheng Wentong deliberately did not list it.

Zheng Wentong randomly selected an investor, "Hello, do you usually like to watch movies?" ”

"I will accompany my wife and children to see it when I have time."

"Good man of the Gu family, let's give this gentleman some applause first."

"What do you call it?" Zheng Wentong continued to interact.

"My surname is Fang."

"Mr. Fang, how much do you think Stephen Chow's new movie "The Mermaid" can reach at the box office?"

"It's not easy to say, because there are many factors that affect the box office of the movie, such as schedule, shooting quality, post-publicity, etc."

"Mr. Fang is really very professional, obviously he did a lot of homework before attending the investor meeting, it is understandable that everyone does not want to lose money in investment!" Zheng Wentong's words made the atmosphere of the venue much more relaxed all of a sudden.

"It doesn't matter, I can reveal a little that the production cost of the movie "Mermaid" is about 330 million, and about 80 million will be invested in the later stage to promote the movie."

"Mr. Fang, if you haven't seen the movie, what do you think the box office of "The Mermaid" should be?"

"I heard that the mermaids are all shot in 3D, and the shooting cost of more than 300 million should be out of water, I think the box office of "Mermaid" should be higher than that of "Journey to the West", 1.6 billion must be no problem."

"The Sword Comes"

"1.6 billion, okay, I know, do you think the box office of "Mermaid" is higher than 1.6 billion, please raise your hand and let me take a look."

"Okay, almost two-thirds think that "Mermaid Box Office" is more than 1.6 billion."

Zheng Wentong randomly selected another female investor, "This lady, how much do you think the box office of "Mermaid" will end up in?" ”

"Xing Ye's requirements for the quality of movies are still quite high, at least it should be better than "Monster Hunt", I think the box office should be about 2.5 billion."

"Wow!" Zheng Wentong was amazed, "It can be seen that this beautiful lady should be a fan of Xingye." ”

"So is there anything higher than 2.5 billion, for example, if you think that the box office of "Mermaid" can exceed 3 billion, is there any 3 billion? Please raise your hand for trouble. ”

"1, 2, 3.....16, okay, thank you sixteen."

"As a friendly reminder, we are now holding an investor meeting, not an auction." Zheng Wentong made a joke with everyone again.

"However, your box office estimate of "The Mermaid" also represents your risk tolerance for Slope No. 2 private equity fund."

"Yanjing Pony Galloping exclusively released "Mermaid", with a guaranteed box office release of 1.7 billion!"

When the number of 1.7 billion was released on the big screen, the representatives of Guangguang Media and Wuzhou Film Distribution Co., Ltd. took a breath of cool air.

"Mr. Zheng is playing so big this time? This should be a record of guaranteed distribution of domestic films! ”

"Nonsense, Hollywood's blockbusters are all directly distributed in separate accounts, you want to guarantee the bottom, and others won't give you a chance!"

Zheng Wentong looked at all the investors in the audience, if Zheng Wentong's guaranteed release of "The Mermaid" is successful again, then there will inevitably be more film distribution companies to compete for the guaranteed distribution rights of other blockbusters.

For example, Wang Baoqiang's film company released "Crazy Alien" at a sky-high price of 2.8 billion, and Shi Kangxiang of Yinlu Department faked the box office on "Ip Man 3", fooling the people into buying financial management and investing in "Ip Man 3", and this Mr. Shi also appeared on the wedding guest list of Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy as a representative of the business community.

"Because everyone's box office expectations for "The Mermaid" are inconsistent, the slope No. 2 private equity fund we launched this time is divided into priority and inferior levels, and the total amount of funds raised is also 500 million yuan."

"The risk level is divided into A, B, C, D four risk levels, A-level box office is estimated to be between 1.7 billion and 2 billion, with an expected investment profit of 10%, B-level box office is estimated to be between 2 billion and 2.4 billion, and the expected investment profit is 20%, and the C-level box office is estimated to be between 2.4 billion and 2.8 billion, with an expected investment profit of 40%, and D-level is more than 2.8 billion box office."

The priority of the fund is that only the preferred partners can receive preferential returns in accordance with the partnership agreement, and these partners are usually risk-averse and can obtain relatively stable returns.

The inferior rating of the fund means that the inferior partner can obtain the remaining income or bear the loss after the product preferentially distributes the income to the preferred partner.

For example, if someone buys the share of the D-level partner of Slope No. 2, if the box office does not reach 2.8 billion, he may not have a penny of income, and even lose money, because he needs to give priority to the investment dividends of A-, B-level and C-level partners.

Zheng Wentong is taking advantage of the information gap and investing the least amount of money to leverage the maximum profits, because these investors buy the most shares of A-level partners and B-level partners in order to pursue insurance, and there will be some investors in C-level, but there are very few D-level partners.

According to the box office of "The Mermaid" of 3.4 billion, according to the fixed box office of Zheng Wentong and Xinghui Overseas Co., Ltd., if the box office exceeds 1.7 billion, Zheng Wentong will receive 60% of the remaining profits.

1.7 billion, after deducting 5 points of the film special fund and 3.3 points of tax, the net box office income is 1.5589 billion, and the producer and distributor share a total of 43% of the net box office, which can be divided into 670.327 million, and then multiplied by 60%, a total of 402.2 million profits can be shared.

The total amount of funds raised by Slope No. 2 is 500 million, and the slope capital will take out at least 100 million, if other investors buy 400 million fund shares, even if they buy all the shares of B-level partners, 20% of 400 million, they can only share 80 million profits, then the remaining 322.2 million profits are still exclusive to Slope Capital.

Yanjing Pony Galloping paid to Xinghui Overseas Co., Ltd. for a guaranteed issuance of 530 million, if other investors buy enough shares of the Slope No. 2 Fund, then Zheng Wentong is equivalent to only 130 million, to leverage 322.2 million excess profits, this is the charm of capital operation.

"The Mermaid is jointly produced by Rastar Overseas Co., Ltd. and China Film Group, and exclusively distributed by Yanjing Pony Pentium Culture Media Co., Ltd., and we will hire Guangguang Media and Wuzhou Film Distribution Co., Ltd. to participate in the distribution."

Wuzhou Film Distribution Co., Ltd. is an affiliate of Wanda Film and Television, and representatives of the two companies also obtained a share of the box office of "The Mermaid" by purchasing the private equity fund of Slope No. 2.

After Zheng Wentong introduced the project, the employees of Slope Capital began to register the fund shares subscribed by investors, looking at the crowds in front of the stage.

Xu Ru sighed, "At present, Mr. Zheng is already the golden sign of Puhai investment circle, and I believe that the Slope No. 2 Private Equity Fund will be subscribed soon." ”

"This is also the last time I will do a guaranteed release of a movie, because the popularity has been stirred up by me, and I will put more energy into film production than distribution."

Zheng Wentong sighed in his heart, if "Yangtze River No. 7" is the last glory of Xing Ye's box office myth on the big screen, then "Mermaid" is also the last glory of Xing Ye's box office myth......
