The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 328

It started to rain in Yanjing this morning, intermittently, until ten o'clock in the morning, the sky was still gloomy, and there were bursts of thunder.

It sounds depressing.

Liangmahe Building Fenghua Film and Television Company, Li Shengyao, Wu Wenhui, and the company's financial manager sat together.

"Boss, Mr. Wu, the company still has 130 million yuan in working capital, and the "Extreme Escape" crew needs to allocate 3000 million yuan. If this is the case, we should only have a little over 5000 million yuan left."

"It is possible to maintain normal operations, but it is definitely not enough if you want to buy a property in Yanjing."

The financial manager of the company is in his thirties, with a Chinese character face and piercing eyes. He is a shrewd person.

This person and Li Shengyao are fellow villagers, and they are also talents of Tsinghua University.

This time Li Shengyao and Wu Wenhui met because they found out that a building in Xuanwu District might be sold.

The building has nine floors and covers an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. There is also an underground parking lot. The entrance is wide and there is a flat land, which is suitable for a movie studio.

Li Shengyao has always wanted to build a standalone movie theater belonging to Fenghua, and in the future, Fenghua movies will hold their premieres in his own movie theater.

They hadn't found a suitable place in Yanjing before, but now they might have a chance, but they soon discovered that the company's funds might not be enough.

Wu Wenhui asked: "How is our movie theater making money now?"

"On average, a movie theater has a monthly net profit of about 30 yuan, and ours is just over 1000 million a month."

"What about the TV show?"

"The first half of the year's co-produced drama income has already arrived. All broadcasting rights at home and abroad have a total of nearly 7000 million yuan. Excluding the next round of co-produced drama investment, there are still 500 million yuan, which has been included in the 8000 million ledger. The second half of the year The benefits of TV series are not so fast, and now sometimes the export department can sell some TV series, but they are all promoted to unfamiliar markets, and the price is relatively low."

The financial manager continued: "There is also a part of the artist's commission, which can earn three to four million yuan per month."

Wu Wenhui then asked: "What about expenditure?"

"Fenghua Video, Qidian Chinese Website, and the special effects department are not yet profitable. We need to continuously allocate funds for support, about 600 million per month."

That is to say, TV dramas can earn 8000 million a year, and theaters can earn over [-] million a year.

Fenghua Video, Starting Point, and the special effects department spend 7000 million a year.

In general, the surplus is 1000 million yuan, which is very impressive.

According to this progress, Fenghua can buy a building every year to make a cinema,
But now that the theater chain has just started, it is obviously not enough to ask them to spend about 7000 million to buy a property.

Li Shengyao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Let's Punch, Dad" only let China Film Group invest 500 million at the beginning, and Fenghua himself invested more than 4000 million, which is a lot of money.

Now the box office in the mainland and overseas is a full 2000 million, and Fenghua should have more than 7000 million, which is close to 8000 million.

Almost doubling the income, in the film industry, it is considered very awesome.

It's just that the recovery of movie accounts is very slow, usually one to one and a half years.

It is obviously impossible for them to wait for the 8000 million yuan to come back before buying a property, and they will have already sold it by then.

At this time, such a building has no worries about buyers.

"Boss, should we borrow another [-] million from the bank?"

Before that, Lee Shengyao gave Wu Wenhui the right to buy a house with a loan. After another one after another, Fenghua already owed [-] million.

Add another [-] million, and that's a billion.

If there is a problem with the capital chain, the fun will be great.

Li Shengyao didn't owe the bank any money in his previous life, but now that he has time-traveled, he has so much debt.

He thought for a while, "Okay, another [-] million loan, but after buying this building, we will buy a building when we have money."

Now we should not expand blindly, at least we should not borrow money to expand wildly.

The financial manager said at this time: "Boss, if the funds are tight, do you want to sell some shares of Fenghua Video?"

Although Fenghua Video is losing money, it has already started. As the largest video website in the mainland, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Fenghua Video will be able to make money in a few years.

Many companies have expressed their intention to invest in Fenghua Video.

But they were rejected before.

Li Shengyao thought that the value of Fenghua Video could increase dozens of times in the future, and he shook his head and said, "Don't move Fenghua Video. Selling the shares now is too bad."

He paused, and then said: "Old Wu continues to follow up on that building, and it can be negotiated within 9000 million. Someone should want to invest in "Extreme Escape". I can save a little money here, don't worry about money."

Wu Wenhui and the financial manager looked over together with surprise on their faces, "Boss, do you want to let the investment share out of "Extreme Escape"?"

"Let's Punch, Dad" was a big success, and now many media believe that "Extreme Escape" will definitely exceed [-] million yuan, there is absolutely no problem in recovering the cost, and there is a high probability that it will be profitable.

The investment in "Extreme Escape" is only 4000 million, and Fenghua can completely eat it. In their view, there is no need to give up profits to other companies.

Li Shengyao smiled, "No matter how confident we are, we have to allocate some investment shares. Otherwise, we will have too little contact with other film and television companies. If there is a large investment in the future, we need to attract people into the game, and others will ignore us."

He ordered the table, "And there are some partners, when we encounter any problems during the screening, there will be one more person to help us solve them."

Wu Wenhui and the financial manager are both smart people, but they know too little about the film industry. When they heard Li Shengyao's words, they immediately understood what he meant.

"I plan to share an investment share of 500 million. Of course, you can rest assured that I will not do business at a loss. If you want to invest in "Extreme Escape", you must pay more than just money."

There are three ideal investors for Lee Sing Yew, one is China Film Group, the other is TVB, and the third is Jiang Zhiqiang.

Needless to say, China Film, they can all play a role in reviewing and arranging films.

If there is no accident, Lee Shengyao's future films will be drawn to China Film, and some soup will be given.

Although Han Sanping didn't like "Let's Punch, Dad" before and only invested 500 million, but Li Shengyao will not affect his judgment because of such things.

In fact, it should be Han Sanping who regrets it now, because she invested less and China Film earned less.

And TVB is related to the theater chain in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and Shaw Cinemas is still very strong in Southeast Asia.

"Let's Punch, Dad" this time won more than 2000 million box office in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

"Extreme Escape" will still be screened in Singapore, Thailand. In his previous life, this movie had a box office of more than 1000 million US dollars in Southeast Asia.

Now 14 years ahead, 2000 million is not bad.

Jiang Zhiqiang's situation is similar to that of TVB, and Jiang Zhiqiang has connections with theater chains all over the world. If Jiang Zhiqiang wants to invest, Lee Shengyao will cooperate with him.

Apart from these three companies, none of the other companies could help Li Shengyao, so it was meaningless to invite them into the game.

But even if the funds are tight now, you can't show your timidity first.

Li Shengyao would not take the initiative to find them, he thought for a while and said: "I will release the news, and "Extreme Escape" will start in five days."

According to his plan at the beginning of the year, "Extreme Escape" should be launched in the middle of this month, but now it has been delayed until the end of the month.

He will release it at the end of the year during the Lunar New Year. No matter whether there is any investment in the future, he will start the film.
