Chapter 353 Before the Shooting, Yang Chen Has Already Recovered Half of His Investment
"After signing in for three years, my identity as a god was exposed ()"
Hearing the figure of 1.5 billion, the people on the scene were shocked.
Yang Chen was also a little shocked, he actually asked for so much money.
Originally, Yang Chen was mentally prepared, and estimated that the total investment was nearly 1 billion.
Good guy, he completely underestimated Wang Sanri's ambition. He invited 15 movie stars and 10 movie queens all at once, and the salary alone would cost nearly 1 billion yuan.
Such a strong lineup is sure to produce a movie with shocking scenes, and it is inevitable to invest a lot of money to set up scenes and do special effects.
1.5 billion is really a conservative figure. If you want to give full play to the strength of these 25 movie stars and actresses, the investment of 2 billion can also be spent.
It is no wonder that investors dare not do this project, such a large investment is too risky.
If the investor's capital is hot money and needs to be fast in and out, then the box office of the movie must be good.
Calculated according to the proportion of the box office, an investment of 1.5 billion, at least 4.5 billion at the box office can be recovered.
But investors don't invest in movies just to make movies, but to make money.
It takes at least a year for a movie to finish from filming to release.
Even if 1.5 billion of funds are deposited in the bank, there will be tens of millions of interest a year.
If it is given out as a commercial loan, it can earn at least 100 million interest in that year.
If you put this money into other investments, you may earn more.
The box office must be at least 4.5 billion to protect the capital, and more than 5 billion can be comparable to the interest on bank deposits.
At least 7 billion at the box office is needed to match the interest on commercial loans.
But any normal person knows that it is almost impossible for a movie to get such a high box office.
Unless it's a phenomenal movie like Avatar.
But such a movie is hard to come by, not anyone who wants to make it can make it.
Still, making a movie doesn't cost a fortune.
As long as the copyright is in hand, there will always be a return to the original one day.
In addition to the box office of the theater, there are also TV and Internet broadcast copyright fees.
All of these can contribute to stable income, but the amount is smaller and the time is longer.
Anyway, Yang Chen is not bad for this amount of money, and his money is not hot money, even if it takes ten years to make a return, he doesn't care.
The important thing is that once such a hugely invested movie is officially announced, the stock price of Star Entertainment Group will definitely soar.
Yang Chen's shareholding ratio exceeds 70%, and the stock has a daily limit, and his wealth has increased by more than 1.5 billion.
Therefore, Yang Chen is not afraid of large investment, the key is how much the copyright of the movie is in his hands.
Seeing that Yang Chen was silent, Zhang Guolong felt that he might be embarrassed to reject Wang Sanri, so he said, "Director Wang, your project is really too big, and it is estimated that no one in China dares to do it. Your idea is very good. The status of the entertainment industry, I believe you can do it too. But the investment of 1.5 billion, the box office needs to be more than 4.5 billion to break the capital. If you want investors to really make money, the box office must be at least 7 billion. It is too difficult for domestic films to go to the box office of 7 billion It's almost impossible."
Wang Sanri: "Director Zhang is right, the investment is indeed huge. But there is no way. After all, there are so many movie stars and actresses joining, and the investment cannot be reduced. I think even a movie like Tang Tan 3 dares to invest 1.3 billion. I invited 15 film stars + 10 film queens, and investing 1.5 billion is very conservative."
Zhang Guolong still wanted to talk, Yang Chen took the lead and said: "Director Wang is right, this lineup only needs 1.5 billion investment, which is really conservative. Let's put it this way, I can invest, even 1.5 billion can be rounded up. The key is to see Wang Dao How much copyright are you willing to give up to me."
Wang Sanri: "Director Yang can really invest so much money?"
Yang Chen: "Of course."
Wang Sanri: "In this way, I only need 10% of the dividends, and the remaining 90% of the dividends will be handed over to Yang Dong. However, Yang Dong only has the right to dividends and has no other rights. How about it?"
What this means is that Yang Chen paid Wang Sanri to fulfill his dream, but the ownership of the movie still belongs to Wang Sanri,
Yang Chen can only pay dividends.
Isn't this a joke?
Yang Chen is willing to spend 1.5 billion investment, but is he afraid that he won't be able to invite those movie stars and actresses?
Why does it have to go through Wang Sanri?
Yang Chen: "Director Wang started to dream during the day. It seems that he has been very tired recently, so he fell asleep just like that."
Zhang Guolong and the others laughed immediately.
Wang Sanri also knew that his request was excessive compared to Yang Chen's 1.5 billion investment.
But he is confident that this movie will be the best Xia Yu movie ever made, and there will not even be a movie that can match it in the future.
So, he really didn't want to let go of the copyright.
But if he doesn't let go of the copyright, Yang Chen can't invest that much money.
After thinking about it, Wang Sanri came up with a new plan.
Yang Chen contributed no less than 500 million funds, and the dividend right was determined according to the proportion of his investment, and the copyright could be sold to him for 10%.
To put it bluntly, Wang Sanri doesn't care how much money he can make, he just wants to hold the copyright in his hands.
Yang Chen replied with a smile: "Let's do the movie project of "Eternal Dragon Slayer". We'll talk about your super-invested movie later. After all, I don't know much about the details, and I won't be able to come up with any results after a while."
Wang Sanri knew very well in his heart that the chance was just this one.
If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to co-produce "Eternal Dragon Slayer" to convince Yang Chen to invest in his farewell film, there may be no chance in the future.
Wang Sanri hurriedly said: "Or else, Yang Dong invests 2 billion, and I give up 90% of the copyright. If the 2 billion is used up and the film is not finished, I will make up for it myself. If it is not used up, the rest The quota, Yang Dong, doesn’t have to be paid. How about it?”
This is equivalent to Yang Chen giving Wang Sanri a credit card with a limit of 2 billion and no need to repay. Wang Sanri decides how much to use.
Then Yang Chen definitely couldn't agree.
If the 2 billion is spent, the movie has not been filmed yet.
Wang Sanri used the excuse that he couldn't raise the money. Will Yang Chen continue to wait, or continue to invest more?
If he continued to invest more, it would be equivalent to being led by Wang Sanri, and the need for funds was a bottomless pit.
If he doesn't make additional investment, the film can't continue shooting, so it can only be put on hold.
But the 2 billion spent before was wasted.
This Fatty Wang is so playful, he always thinks that Yang Chen is not a person in the circle, so he fools around.
Yang Chen is disdain to play with him, if he really wants to play with him, his rank is not worthy of Yang Chen's shoes.
Yang Chen: "It can be seen that Director Wang is very concerned about this project of his own, then I won't be loved by others, so let Director Wang do it yourself."
Wang Sanri: "Haha... Director Yang, don't be so anxious to refuse. Anything can be discussed carefully. If you feel that it is not suitable, you can put forward your own ideas, and we will discuss it slowly."
Yang Chen: "I told you what I thought, but you don't accept it."
Wang Sanri: "Okay, okay. Then Yang Dong invested 1.5 billion, and I will give you 90% of the full copyright. Is this the head office?"
Yang Chen: "Then you can go back and write a detailed plan to me, how you plan to spend the 1.5 billion yuan, and where you will spend it, you must explain in detail. Wait until you and the 15 film stars and 10 film queens are confirmed. , we will sign the contract, and I will immediately pay half of the funds to the special account."
Wang Sanri nodded, not daring to continue speaking.
He was very worried about angering Yang Chen and stopped investing in his farewell work. He didn't know how long it would take to meet such a powerful investor.
The two sides discussed some details and immediately signed the film cooperation agreement for "Eternal Dragon Slayer".
At noon, Star Entertainment Group issued a stock announcement.
"About the company's project description for the TV and movie versions of "Eternal Dragon Slayer"."
The announcement details the investment and production cycle of these two projects.
The total budget of the two projects is 800 million, of which 300 million is for TV dramas, 400 million is for movies, and the remaining 100 million is for supplementary funds.
There is insufficient funds for TV dramas, and some can be supplemented from the 100 million funds.
The film side has insufficient funds, and it can also make up some of the 100 million funds.
However, the additional funds on both sides of TV dramas and movies will not add up to more than 100 million.
affected by this announcement.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the stock market opened, and Star Entertainment's stock went up to the daily limit.
It only took 10 seconds, 3% from the green market, and 3.9 million buy orders directly sealed the daily limit.
Yang Chen's stock market value soared by 360 million directly.
In other words, before the filming of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", Yang Chen has personally recovered half of his investment.
This is the power of capital, and it is also the reason why Yang Chen dares to invest so much, because he has too many ways to recover the cost and make a lot of money.
