Chapter 373. The money is spent [ask for subscription]
After leaving from Zhongying, Sun Yi immediately held a meeting of senior leaders when he returned to the starry sky, this time it was no longer a private discussion with Yang Fan and the two people, but a formal resolution was formed at the meeting.
It is determined that the future of the starry sky will take the road of film industrialization.
First of all, on the basis of Star International Cinema, Star International Cinema was officially established, and the first batch of 100 million yuan was invested to give priority to the establishment of 5 Star International flagship stores in Shanghai, Yangcheng, Hangzhou and other developed brokerage cities.
Then 60 million yuan was invested again in the Huairou Film and Television Base under China Film Group to build a 50,000-square-meter comprehensive photography base, mainly studios, including a large-scale special effects studio and a digital studio.
This price is far from enough according to the normal situation, and the special effects studio also said that it is not much different from the ordinary studio when there is no specific task, but it is more functional and suitable for all kinds of special scene construction.
The digital studio, in this year, is still a high-end existence, only Hollywood has it, and all equipment needs to be imported, including motion capture, 3D drawing, etc.
The investment in a digital studio alone is as high as 30 million, which is still only to meet the minimum level of needs, and other equipment needs to be invested again in the post.
If it weren't for the fact that China Film gave a price close to the price of cabbage on the land, it would be impossible for Xingkong to build the first phase of the project with 60 million.
It can be seen that in these years, if you want to play Hollywood productions, not everyone can play it, this real money is cast, if the movie fails, then directly lose a low profile, the whole of China At present, except for the starry sky, basically no one will use such a studio.
But this is the most important component of film industrialization, and Sun Yi has to invest.
After confirming the investment in theaters and studios, Starry Sky still did not make a decision, and directly acquired the two-year-old Tiangong Colorful Special Effects Studio at a price of 11 million.
In the previous life, Tiangong Brilliant was officially transformed from a studio into a film and television special effects company in 2009, and with the prosperity of the Chinese film market, it gradually developed and became one of the three major special effects companies in China.
At present, they have become well-known in the industry, and their services have covered visual effects scheme design, visual effects production, trailer creation, sound post-processing and other businesses.
Although the current work is low-end, and the special effects software used is several versions behind Hollywood, the quality of the personnel is very high, and they are currently starting to develop their own special effects technology.
Sun Yi takes a fancy to this.
Throughout September, Starry Sky Image can be said to be like a boy who scatters money, and has been "buying", "buying" and "buying", and the cash flow of the entire company has cost Sun Yi seventy-seven eighty-eight, which is only enough to maintain daily expenses.
In the company, he saw Sister Lan, who was in charge of the company's finances, taking a detour.
Gao Xilan was also depressed, what a loser, how could she do this.
Either you don't spend it, you keep saving, and if you want to spend it, you will spend it together, 200 million yuan, all let the little boss play out, and at present, it is just a splash, and in a short period of time, there is no income at all.
"Xiaoyi, it's almost, don't buy it anymore, I really don't have any money."
Yang Fan was also a little unbearable, he had previously supported Sun Yi to engage in film industrialization, and he also expected that it would be a big investment, but he didn't expect to invest so much.
Sun Yi is also very helpless, this is just the tip of the iceberg, what Hollywood has developed for so many years, how can it catch up in a while and a half.
"Brother Fan, what do you say in the United States, when will Harvey settle the box office revenue."
He is now waiting for Winestein Pictures to settle the box office account of "Shelter", which has been released in all parts of the world except for China, with a global box office of $187 million and a North American box office of 140 million.
According to the box office sharing agreement signed by Star North America with Wihenstein Pictures and Touchstone Pictures.
80% of the box office share in the first week, 70% in the second week, and 50% of the follow-up revenue is guaranteed, plus the box office share of other countries, the whole film, currently North American Star deducts 30% of the distribution share of the two companies, and the total revenue has reached 80 million US dollars.
At the mention of this dollar, the sad look on Yang Fan's face suddenly disappeared, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "Harvey, this old boy is very particular, the bill has been sent, I have checked, there is basically no problem with the data, time, he agreed, as long as the theater chain over there settles the bill for him, he will enter the account of North American Star as soon as possible." ”
Sun Yi nodded, he still has a lot of use for this money, of course, the sooner the bill is settled, the better.
"However, if this money is to be transferred back to China, it seems to be very troublesome, and the Yankees have to collect a lot of taxes." Thinking of this, Yang Fan became troubled again.
"I'm not ready to turn back at all."
"Huh?"
Hearing Sun Yi say this, Yang Fan was shocked, the company's accounts in China were about to be cleared, and he agreed to Sun Yi's such a large investment because of the money from the United States, but now he heard that the money will not be taken back, Yang Fan is a little dumbfounded.
"This money is still useful in North America, the current economic crisis is in full swing, many excellent companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, it is a good time for us to buy the bottom, instead of trying to transfer the money back, and be scraped a layer of taxes, it is better to directly copy the bottom over there and buy the technology we need directly."
Yang Fan felt that what Sun Yi said made some sense, but he still frowned and asked, "Can they sell it?" ”
"Hmph." Sun Yi sneered, "I can't afford to eat, what can't be sold, besides, why did you feed Harvey so much before, isn't it just that he is used at this time, with him as a local snake leading the way, it's not a big problem." ”
Yang Fan thought about it for a while, and this is indeed the truth, now is indeed a good time to buy the bottom in North America.
And in the week of the release of "Refuge", through the previous promotion, the movie DVD was launched in the United States under the operation of Wihenstein Pictures Touchstone Pictures.
It is said that the sales figures are very impressive, otherwise, Harvey would not have been able to promise so happily and end the box office for them.
"But what about domestic companies?" Yang Fan asked again.
Sun Yi frowned and said: "Insist on it, hasn't "Star You" been reported to Huaxia TV, I estimate that with the help of Sister Yu, this matter is basically stable, and it will be good to wait for the release, which is basically a matter of one or two months." ”
Yang Fan shook his head slowly, and said helplessly: "Hey, even if Huaxia TV broadcasts it, it can't give much money, they buy TV series, and it's always the price of cabbage, don't you don't agree, some people are in a hurry." ”
"The first round will definitely not work, wait for the second round to go to local satellite TV, I believe this drama will be very successful commercially."
"That's right, but the company can't hold on to it in the past few months, the copyright income or everything is year-end, and the domestic box office of "Shelter" is estimated to have to wait until the end of the year, what should I do during this time?"
Yang Fan began to babble on the side, it was not good to annoy Sun Yi, he knew that this was Yang Fan's dissatisfaction with his lavish spending this month.
"Oh, don't ink it, it's a big deal, I'll go to run commercial performances and take commercials, okay."
"You said it yourself, but no one forced you."
“.”
Still working on it.
