Why is Lu Xiaoran unwilling to invest directly in Xijie Entertainment?

After all, it is because Lu Xiaoran is shameless and the bottom line is set too high!

If he is shameless, he will play the Hollywood accounting law of loss...

The so-called loss law is to bully outsiders who don’t know how to do it!

Big Hollywood studios often set up a "shell" company for every movie they produce, and the company is specially designed to "lose money", and the income generated by the movie will be taken away by big studios under various names. Under the cunning accounting system of Hollywood, a movie that was originally sold may also be considered a loss, and the creators who signed a movie profit sharing agreement will find it difficult to obtain any income from it.

For example, the two plots of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" achieved revenue of $612 million in the United States, but lost $167 million on the books.

The reason is that Warner Bros. Pictures deducted up to $212 million in distribution fees - this was the service fee paid to itself and $130 million in advertising fees - at least half of it was also the $57 million interest paid to itself by Warner Bros., which was even more incurred by Warner Bros.'s left-handed borrowing his right-handed.

Warner Bros. has earned at least $350 million in revenue through these items alone, but after deducting expenses as expenditures, it deducted another $316 million in production expenses, resulting in huge losses from an accounting perspective.

In this way, the main creators who signed a net income sharing agreement with the film company will not be able to get any money.

Moreover, from a financial and legal perspective, there is no violation of the rules in Warner Bros.

But doing so easily has no friends...

Xijie Entertainment has enough influence in Asia, and its strategy of one book and two shots has also created many benefits for Orange...

In last year's financial report, Orange's overseas revenue was close to 500 million yuan, of which nearly half of the Korean market contributed!

Also, the domestic issuer has too little voice, and the surrounding revenue channels are far from being opened...

This also adds difficulty to the accounting - box office results are set and revenue is transparent...

...

The crew of "Treasure Hunt Alliance" has been confirmed at the beginning of the year, and preliminary preparations have been in progress, including costumes and props. After Lu Xiaoran chose the shooting location, he immediately entered a new stage: preparing for shooting.

The production team has started the stage of decomposing the script.

After decomposing all the scenes, the producer can add variables one by one - actor schedule, scene, etc.

This stage takes about three days, and finally you can integrate all the contents into a general production sheet, and formulate a detailed shooting plan.

Lu Xiaoran also entered the work state, but Xijie called him in various ways...

I probably felt the pressure!

On the Unilateral Protectionism in South Korea

"The Three Major Korean TV Stations "Chinese Drama Ban" You Don't Know"

As soon as several articles were published, coupled with the appeals of experts, the Internet was in full swing, and the Korean entertainment industry was in a panic...

Xijie has retreated - no longer required copyright sharing, investing 12 billion won, as long as the dividends from South Korea, and introducing five TV series from Orange...

Chinese TV series exports overseas have always been very cheap, with a single episode of about 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars.

Five TV series, one of them has not reached 160 episodes, and it is 8 million US dollars. Of course, it is not paid in one go, and they have to put it on the market to see the results.

In the hotel, Lu Xiaoran and Chen Zhixi made the schedule and then prepared to go back to their room.

Chen Zhixi asked: "After the evening press conference, Xijie Entertainment will hold a cocktail party. I invite you to attend. Will you go?"

“…where?”

“It seems to be the Shilla Hotel!”

“…Go and experience the wealthy life of the Korean chaebol!”

Chen Zhixi looked at him a little strangely: "...I think you are not interested in these things!"

"hehe…"

If it weren't for the irresistible factor, I would have been able to fly!

...

However, Lu Xiaoran was indeed a little happy.

The account has been divided...

Lu·Don’t love money·Like the feeling of increasing numbers!

All Orange movies, as long as he serves as the producer or the producer, can share 5% of the profit share. If the script is added, it will be 10%!

The movies released in the first half of the year, except for "The Scarlet Sun", are all original scripts!

"Sunday Fireworks" and "Search" are even written and directed by themselves.

He is the starring actor in "The Scarlet Sun"!

Let me add that as of June 15, the box office of "The Scarlet Sun" successfully exceeded 300 million. Judging from the current trend, it is no problem to reach 400 million before the 28th!

The one who is most excited is not the producer, but Cao Baoping - it was the first time that his movie box office exceeded 100 million, and it was 400 million yuan when it broke!

Successfully ranked as the top director!

Market evaluation directors are first of all the box office and then the awards - Director Xie Fei won the Silver Bear Award, who knows who he is?

Back to the topic: "Return to Twenty", cost + promotion, 35 million, winning a box office of 480 million;

"Ex-official Guide", cost + promotion and promotion of 30 million, box office of 602 million;

"Day Fireworks", 45 million promotions and 280 million box office;

"Search", investment of 38 million in publicity and development, and the box office was 342 million;

"Manslaughter", cost + promotion investment: 70 million, box office: 508 million...

Among them, the main investment in publicity and distribution is to make up for tickets. Orange now has about 20 million in tickets per drama. The investment in "Day Fireworks" and "Manslaughter" is relatively high...

All are profitable!

Of course, the most you earn is definitely "Ex-Story" - this book itself is provided by Lu Xiaoran, the script, producer, and producer, and he can take away 15% of the share!

Five dramas brought him more than 100 million in income!

This is really a small data - comparing the increase in stock prices!

Orange announced the profitability of five movies, the stock price ushered in two daily limits, and Lu Xiaoran's net worth exceeded 7 billion...

According to this calculation, it entered the top 300 Forbes China Rich List...

...

First, there was a press conference:

"It's a commercial entertainment film, and the investment is indeed 40 billion won..."

"I think in the face of the invasion of Hollywood's strong cultural invasion, we should unite and cooperate together!"

"The three countries of China, Japan and South Korea were released simultaneously, and I think the cost was enough to be recovered through the box office!"

“My movie hasn’t lost money yet!”

“…The shooting will start in a week!”

"I have always been a fan of Kim Hye-soo and Jeon Ji-hyun. It is my honor to be able to work with them this time..."

"It's a criminal action movie...I won't talk about it in detail!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoran winked at the host and the other party tacitly announced that the news meeting ended.

Back in the background, he gave the signed agreement to Chen Zhixi, who solemnly took over.

Lu Xiaoran left the news hall of the Silla Hotel, turned to the safety passage on one side, and directly entered the third floor through the stairs.

Xijie Entertainment also has a media party here at the banquet hall.
