Chapter 461 There is a new movie again (subscribe for the second update!!!))

At the beginning of May, half of 5 has passed, the company started filming two TV dramas successively, and the preparations for "Detective Chinatown" are almost completed.

The preliminary preparations for "The Martian" have also been successfully completed, and special effects are still being produced in the outer space of Mars.

The film is expected to be officially launched in a week. Tang An will take a good rest in the past few days and arrange the company's affairs.

In the conference room, orders were issued one after another.

"Now the group has launched 5 projects at the same time, and has successively borrowed 5.3 million yuan from the bank. The production department and the financial department must firmly supervise the whereabouts of the money. It is okay to spend the money, but the money must be spent where it should be spent."

Starting 5 film and television dramas at one time, the investment is not low, and basically all of them are looking for bank loans.

Regardless of any industry, any project, money is the top priority.

It's not that Tang An is reluctant to spend money. He spent all the money he earned last year, but he can't spend unnecessary money. He must warn the people below.

The crew, the production department, the finance department, and the administration department supervise each other to prevent any corruption.

5.3 million, even Bernard and Guangxian, who just went public and raised a large amount of money, did not spend so much money at once.

That is to say, Tang An is very courageous and has absolute confidence in these movies, otherwise he would not dare to play like this.

"The Martian" produced 1.5 million yuan + 7000 million publicity expenses, and borrowed 2.2 million yuan from the bank.

Tang An's own film, relying on the global box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" of more than 2 million US dollars, it is easy to get a loan of [-] million.

The production cost of "Looking for the Dragon" was 2.2 million, and 1.5 million was borrowed, but the actual payment was 7000 million.

This film is much more expensive than "The Martian". After all, "The Martian" can be shot in one and a half months, and "Looking for the Dragon" at least three and a half months.

The manpower and material resources spent on building a studio of tens of thousands of square meters are unimaginable. "The Martian" has only a few interior scenes and not many exterior scenes.

It's not bad that "Looking for the Dragon" can get a loan of 1.5 million. If you want to get a loan of 2.2 million, unless Tang An shoots it himself, otherwise the bank will not take such a big risk.

New Media originally wanted to invest in "The Martian", but Tang An only gave "Looking for the Dragon", and the cost of publicity and distribution of up to [-] million made them discouraged, and they only represented the distribution rights in Asia.

"Detective Chinatown" was filmed with a digital camera, with a production cost of 3000 million, a publicity fee of 5000 million, and a loan of 8000 million.

Although it is called the "囧" series, it is a brand new movie after all, and 5000 million publicity fees still need to be spent.

"Why Shengxiaomo" invested 3500 million yuan. As a modern drama, the high price of nearly one million episodes required a loan of 3000 million yuan.

"Scary Step by Step" invested 5000 million yuan, and the single integration cost was 125 million yuan.

Because it was a time-travel drama, taking advantage of the popularity of "Gong Suo Xin Jade", the bank gave the full 5000 million loan.

The cost of a single episode of the two TV series is around one million, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

5.3亿的贷款，再加上210套房子的4.5亿和别墅的9000万，唐安现在一共欠了银行10.7亿，集团的现金还剩下2.2亿。

Before I knew it, I owed the bank 10 billion yuan. It was so fast, and the more I owed, the more I owed.

The theater chain has also invested 4 million yuan. Most of the nearly [-] movie theaters built or under construction are located in second- and third-tier cities and county towns. Starting from the second half of the year, they can gradually bring in a little income. It will take some time to recover the cost.

Those shares of Tudou.com are stable at 1.5 million US dollars, and there is no profit for the time being.

The 10% stake in Poly Wanhe Cinemas has not paid any dividends for a year, and half of the profits have been used for expansion.

"Among these films, "Looking for the Dragon" is the first to be released. To do a good job of publicity, we can find Shengda to cooperate with the publicity."

""Lost in Thailand: Detective Chinatown" is a brand new version of this "囧" series, always pay attention to public opinion on the Internet."

After arranging things one by one, Tang An then listened to them report some things.

Xu Manyun said, "Tang Dong, Sheng Tang Studio, the screenwriter of "People on the Journey", has a project that needs investment."

"What movie?"

"It's a romance film. The other party has received 300 million investment from Lehua Entertainment, and there is still a shortfall of 1200 million. The crew has already completed preparations."

Isn't the romance film of Shengtang Studio "Predecessor Raiders"?

As several films invested by the company have been selling well one after another, people are constantly coming to seek investment with scripts and projects.

Tang An nodded, "Let's do an evaluation and cost calculation as soon as possible."

The meeting lasted for more than three hours. Tang An left the company in the afternoon and began to rest at home, occasionally chatting with actors.

Two days later, Tang An received a complete evaluation report on "Predecessor Raiders".

Without much consideration, he agreed to invest in this project.

As for the actors, Tian Yusheng has almost reached an agreement.one heroine left
Except for Wan Qian and Zhao Liying, all the actors under the banner of Han Tang have no schedule, and in the end, Wan Qian was only cast as the leading actress Xia Lu.

No one was forcibly inserted in, and the other three leading actors still let Tian Yusheng choose the person he had previously decided.

Lehua Entertainment invested 300 million yuan, and Hantang Media invested 1200 million yuan and was responsible for distribution, and the distribution share was 15%.

A new director, starring Han Geng, does not have a high box office appeal, so naturally he has to pay more for distribution.

The crew had already made preparations before. The contracts with the actors were signed within two days, and two days later, a press conference was held directly. Everything progressed rapidly.

For a low-budget movie, neither Tang An nor Chen Guofu went to the press conference, and Xu Manyun attended on behalf of the company. She was also the one who bought the script of "On the Journey" from Shengtang Studio before.

This year's May [-]st, only "Guan Yunchang" starring Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen and "A Chinese Ghost Story" starring Liu Yufei and Gu Tianle will be released.

The former broke through [-] million in six days, which is a good start.

However, Donnie Yen has been crazy about taking films in the past two years, most of which have a box office of more than 1 million.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is similar, with 7500 million in the first week and 4000 million in the second week, and the reputation is also not good.

Generally, the box office of a movie with a good reputation in the second week will not be much lower than the first week, or even much higher than the first week. These two films are almost like this.

"Guan Yunchang" is less than 1.5 million, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is estimated to be [-] million.

It is no news that the box office of the domestic film market has exceeded [-] million yuan, unless it is a small and medium-budget film.

The popularity of these two movies faded quickly. At this time, Hantang Media announced the launch of the love movie "Predecessor Raiders", which was still released on the day of Double Eleven Singles' Day, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Last year's Double Eleven is still vivid in my mind.

The director is a newcomer, so there is no surprise. The films Tang An invests in are all new directors.

The exposure of several leading actors is also much higher.

The big companies don't care about a small-budget movie, but Hua Yi and Teng Huatao are bothered.
