Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 252 All inclusive!

Therefore, for Xia Yuan now, there is basically no point for him to hesitate. If he hesitates, will he still be worthy of the title of "director"?
Especially when one can earn rebates, for others, the opportunity to invest in the Olympics is a pitfall that they would avoid at all costs.

But for these two cheaters, it is like an insurance policy that allows them to charge forward boldly without any worries.

The bidding will be held in just two months, which is very fast.

Immediately, Tang Ying and Xia Yuan made a decision, gave instructions, and began to rush to make a bidding plan, set up relevant teams, and prepare bid documents.

They are also discussing how much money to invest this time.

“In my opinion, we must seize this opportunity and invest heavily!”

Tang Ying said immediately, exuding a heroic attitude: "I want to invest 100 billion!!"

After all, there was only one chance, and she had to consider whether this was the only chance in her life.

It just so happens that with the box office revenue from the two movies, plus their existing funding chain of more than 3 billion, it is estimated that the funds they can take out by then are neither too much nor too little, just 10 billion.

If the capital chain is directly broken, that would be perfect, killing two birds with one stone.

Damn, how good is it to run a company and then go bankrupt due to running out of funds?

Alas, she really envied those bosses who were losing money every day. She wanted to ask them what the secret of success was. It was unexpected that they could achieve such a hard-earned good thing every day.

These business owners who are losing money or even going bankrupt must be very happy every day, right? They must have happy families and happy lives, right?
I really envy them, but unfortunately, she is making money every day, and every time she opens her eyes, she has to hear the bad news about the company's profits.

Oh, how annoying.
Now, I have more money than I can spend, and there happens to be such a big project that is like a money-eating beast. How can I not invest it all?

"But there is still a problem." Xia Yuan was not very excited, but frowned and said: "Don't be too happy too soon. This time the Olympic Committee has only opened investment channels for the opening and closing ceremonies."

"Is there any difference?" Tang Ying asked.

She really didn't know much about the Olympics. In her opinion, anything that had anything to do with the word "Olympic Games" was basically a den of vengeance and a money-eating beast. There was no such thing as a simple one.

Xia Yuan answered, "No, if it's just the opening and closing ceremonies, it wouldn't cost that much. I estimate that after investing in both the Paralympics and the Olympics, the total cost would be about the same as if we invested in shooting a big-budget movie."

This is the key point that Xia Yuan mentioned. Only the investment channel for the opening and closing ceremonies can be opened. Investing through other channels is a completely different matter.

Opening and closing ceremonies don’t actually cost much.

For example, the treasure trove in Xia Yuan's mind showed that if he wanted to plan the opening and closing ceremonies, there were also examples in the other world for him to refer to. For example, there was one in the other world, the 2008 BJ Olympics, where the total investment in the opening ceremony was about 1.2 million US dollars.

That’s approximately RMB 8 million.

Including the closing ceremony and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games, the total sunk cost is 21.92 billion yuan.

In fact, it is just the cost of producing a movie with a large investment. It does not require tens of billions of dollars. At most, it will not cost that much money. Even if it was in 08, and the world is different, and converted to today in 2030 when prices and economic conditions are rising rapidly, considering all factors, the cost will increase and inflate.

But it certainly won’t expand much. At most, 35 billion will be enough to complete all the tasks.

And in fact, the BJ Olympics was not the most expensive Olympics in his mind.

The examples that can be used as reference and the ones with the highest costs are actually the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Even the 2024 Paris Olympics will have the largest opening ceremony investment in all Olympic Games!
But even so, for Xia Yuan, is there any need to say which class to choose?
Is this an issue that needs to be considered?

I would definitely choose my own without hesitation!
And the problem is, the Olympics is a pure loss anyway, so is there any need to hesitate in making the choice?

In film shooting, you may need to use the method of choosing one out of three happiness options.

But in the Olympics, there is no need to choose. Not to mention that other countries have completely different national conditions and cultures, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics are actually a microcosm of your own country's culture. You can't use, and can't use, things from other countries. And the most important reason is that in terms of culture, is there any country, any region, any nation in the world that can compare with them?
They are the largest dragon hovering on this planet! The most ancient existence!

This is the situation now, and where the money is really spent is in other areas.

If they want to increase their investment, the best way and method is to invest in other things.

But the passage is not open. The only passage open now is the one for the opening and closing ceremonies.

"Do you want to invest in something else?" Xia Yuan asked. "There are two choices before us now. One is to invest only in the opening and closing ceremonies. Then our only way to get money back is from selling tickets and sharing the revenue from broadcasting. We can make a steady loss of 1.1 billion. This is inevitable.

This route has the least and most stable ways to get money back, but the losses are also very stable, only 1.1 billion yuan, not a penny more or less, because the price of the broadcasting rights for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics is also open and transparent.

The second way is to invest in other fields. If we go to negotiate, we will definitely be able to negotiate some channels, but the channels are relatively limited. The main competition is absolutely impossible. The channels left for us to negotiate are mascots and venues. If these two channels are added together, we can reach 100 billion, but the channels for repayment will be much more complicated. In other words, although we spend a lot of money, we can’t calculate the proportion of repayment, and there are many unknowns. ”

Just now, while talking, Xia Yuan was writing down and calculating in his notebook. In a short period of time, Xia Yuan had made strict and rigorous calculations and had sorted out the accounts.

Just as he said, there are only these two choices before them now.

Tang Ying frowned and hesitated for a long time.

Now the problem is obvious.

After all, they only need to invest in the opening and closing ceremonies. This remittance method only includes box office sharing and broadcasting rights sharing, which can lead to a stable loss of 1.1 billion yuan. This is an inevitable loss.

The advantage is that the results are predetermined, there are no surprises, and there will be no surprises, and the losses are stable.

The disadvantage is that the loss is small.

Or choose the second one?

The second option is to invest 10 billion yuan, covering the opening and closing ceremonies, mascot cultural IP, and the main stadium.

The advantages are large investment, large capital flow, and high losses.

However, the disadvantage is that there are too many channels for collecting payments, and it is impossible to predict the specific amount of payments to be collected.

No!

Soon, Tang Ying woke up from her thoughts and was terrified.

Shit, she actually hesitated?
She actually hesitated between 100 billion or 11 billion?

Is there any need to hesitate?
Admittedly, if you choose the second method, there will be many unknowns.

But this is the Olympics! How can this be the same as before?

Can the Olympics make money?
Why is she hesitating about something that is sure to lose money?
In addition, even if the final return is a bit strong, it can't offset their huge investment! No matter what, the loss will definitely be higher than 11 billion.

There is no need to think about it anymore.

It's over!
Tang Ying made a decision immediately: "All inclusive!"

All inclusive! Must be all inclusive!
You have to spend a lot of money!

What kind of storm can a crappy mascot and a few crappy stadiums stir up? Can they affect the general trend?

(It’s a bit late, and I finished work late.)
