Financial Freedom: My Golden Finger Has a Billion Points

Chapter 31 Investing in Movies
The experience in the presidential suite is very comfortable, and the feeling of sleeping on the huge bed is even more awesome.

When I was tired of playing, I called the hotel to send a sumptuous dinner, drank red wine, and ate delicious food.

Turning on the super LCD TV and choosing a movie to watch, the two of them lay on the bed hugging each other and watching the movie.

Suddenly while watching, that magical ability appeared again, and this time the prompt appeared about investing in a movie.

The name of this movie is "Raging Bull". The director of this movie is a newcomer. This is the first movie he directed after graduating from Nortel. Now that the script has been written, he is looking for investment everywhere.

However, because he is a new director and has no masterpieces, many capitals are not very optimistic about it. Capital itself is profit-seeking and will not invest in projects that cannot see returns.

This new director is called Dong Hao, and according to the tips, he is a very talented director.

Just when Dong Hao was trying to attract investment to no avail, at a friend's party, a rich second-generation man heard about this and directly invested 600 million.

These 600 million ordinary people may seem like a lot, but for a movie it can only be said to be a small production.

And with these 600 million, it took four months to complete the film. After it was released, it received a huge reputation. When the film was finally released, it earned a box office of [-] million, and the rich second generation also made a lot of money.

The second-generation rich man didn't think the script was good, or he appreciated Dong Hao's talent. He just invested casually because he was pitiful.

He didn't expect that a random investment would bring rich returns.

And now Dong Hao is in this city, and there is still a week before he gets 600 million investment.

The corners of Lu Xiaobu's mouth raised slightly, this was a rare investment opportunity.

The next day after eating the breakfast arranged by the hotel, they left the hotel.

"Xiao Bu, where are we going?"

"I plan to meet someone before I go back."

"who?"

"I'll know when I see you."

Lu Xiaobu's current capital is about 450 million, which is still far away from 600 million. However, he can use his car and several store credit loans. This amount of money should be easy to get. After all, his credit has been very good before. of.

After driving for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the place where Dong Hao lived temporarily.

"Xiaobu, do you know the person you want to meet?"

"do not know."

"Why are you meeting him if you don't know him?" Weiwei was confused by him.

"Because he can bring me wealth growth."

"What's the meaning."

"You don't care about this."

Ringing the doorbell, the door opened soon.

What caught his eyes was a young man with a tired face, a somewhat bushy beard, casual clothes, and an unkempt appearance. Such a person would never have thought that he would become a great director in the future.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, you are Dong Hao."

"I am, are you?"

"My name is Lu Xiaobu, and she is my girlfriend. We know through friends' words that you are planning to make a movie recently. Have you got the investment?"

"Who is your friend? Yes, I am planning to make a movie and I am currently looking for investment."

"I want to invest in your film."

"you……"

"Weiwei, go get the things from the car."

"Oh." Weiwei walked up to the Audi A6 and took out a beautiful bag from the trunk.

The purpose of Lu Xiaobu's doing this was to use this car to make Dong Hao not dare to underestimate him.

This is why many people take out loans to buy a good car when doing business. This car is quite a show-stopper.

Sure enough, when Dong Hao saw the car, his impatient look immediately became energetic and enthusiastic.

"Come in, both of you."

Entering inside, the room is a bit messy, with many books placed inside.

"Mr. Dong doesn't know what to give you when we first meet. It would be disrespectful for you to accept this tea."

"Mr. Lu, you're welcome. Let's talk about investment. May I ask why you want to invest in this movie?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm not investing in movies."

Dong Hao looked surprised, and even felt a little angry in his heart.

"Then what are you doing here!"

"I'm not investing in movies, I'm investing in you. Director Dong, I've investigated you. The music video you directed before was very innovative. Although I haven't seen the script, I think someone as thoughtful, talented and ambitious as you can Director, this work is definitely not bad."

No one will reject someone who flatters him, no matter whether he knows in his heart that others are flattering him or not, it just feels good to hear it.

"Then you read my script first."

"Ok."

Dong Hao immediately found the script. Lu Xiaobu took it and looked very serious. Although Weiwei didn't know why he wanted to invest in this unknown director's movie, she didn't ask any questions now.

After reading the script, I realized that this is a purely commercial film, a black humor comedy, and the fun and entertainment in it are very interesting.

"I have read Director Dong's script, and it is very nice. I don't know much about movies, but I know that the key to this movie lies in the selection of actors. It is best for small characters to bring their own sense of joy."

"Mr. Lu, you are absolutely right. We have the same ideas. Let's talk about investment. I don't know how much money you can spend to invest in this movie."

"I can invest 600 million in this commercial film, and I promise not to interfere with any of Director Dong's filming. My only identity is as an investor. Everything about this film will be left to you. After all, I don't understand movies either. "

Director Dong was very happy to hear this. He was most afraid of investors interfering in the casting and filming work as investors.

This couldn't be better now.

"Okay, I agree."

Next, the two discussed cooperation matters. The total investment in the film was 1000 million, and according to the investment ratio, Lu Xiaobu held [-]% of the shares.

I was supposed to drive home, but now I have to sign legal documents, so I'm staying a few days longer.

"Xiao Bu, if this movie sells for money, how much money can you make?"

"First of all, it has to sell money, and secondly, it depends on the box office. Generally, the box office must be more than three times the total investment to make money."

"If the box office is 5000 million and the total investment is 1000 million, then you can get 4000 million out of the remaining 2400 million."

"Miss Chu, this is not how the account is calculated, first of all..."

The box office of a movie is composed of many parts.The box office is divided into comprehensive box office and separate box office.

Comprehensive box office: This is what we often call the total box office

Split-account box office: After deducting the service fee, you can get the split-account box office (generally 93%-94% of the comprehensive box office). The money is of course divided into the split-account box office.

The box office accounts are divided among three parties: cinemas (theaters), taxes (and others), and investment and distribution parties.

其中院线能拿走分账票房的52%。税收（及其他）一般拿走8.5%-9.5%左右。而投资发行方分剩下的38%-39%左右。
