One dollar of lollipops can buy 8 million lollipops. Buying an apartment in a first-tier city for 500 lollipops can last for 43.8 years if you go there every day...
When it comes to making movies, this little money is really not enough.
Not to mention preparations, even a fraction of the star's salary is not enough.
But for kiwi fruit, it is still a big investment.
Xiaobao made a lot of money. From March to July, he still had nearly RMB 10 million from royalties, live broadcasts, song sales, and tax deducted. After deducting various expenses, he still had some savings.
But basically no movie is fully funded.
Mainly because the risk is too great.
Movies, anchors, novels, these industries are similar. Only a small number of people can make money, and most of them just make up the money, or do it with dreams.
However, if you have been an anchor for a few months, or written a novel for a few months, and you feel that it is no longer possible, you can still turn back.
If you make a movie with full investment and make a loss, you will really lose all your money.
"This Man Is From Earth", Kiwi wants, no, has decided to fully invest in it.
Why?
Because the person who wrote this script is a Venice-nominated director, because the lead actor is my brother, because the supporting actors are King of Heaven, Roland, and Xu Shaoxiong, because everyone has confidence.
Take my brother as an example, he doesn’t act in TV series.
It’s not that you look down on the small screen, but you can’t afford the price. How much do you have to pay for one episode?
Two million?
I'm afraid the production fee for one episode is not that high, so I can't afford it.
Xiaobao and Xiangyang chatted all night about investment issues. Brother, if Liu Tianwang makes a movie, the salary will not be certain, it depends on the relationship and the script, but it will start at least 30 million.
Let's cut it in half, 15 million. If the two of them join together, it's still 30 million.
That's it, it's like skipping it all.
To put it another way, according to real investment, Kiwi Fruit’s investment of 8 million is just a small amount, but now it is 100% controlled. No matter how you calculate it, it is a good deal.
Furthermore, with their appeal, they can’t get 25 million at the box office?
Qin Xiaobao didn't believe it.
It’s 100% profitable, so why should I get a piece of the pie from others?
Losing money?
So difficult.
If Kiwi announced that there was a movie starring his brother, and Liu Tianwang could only play a supporting role, I'm afraid he would have to force his head and wave the check and beg them to accept it.
Outsiders are not cheap, but the two bosses decided to give their own people a chance.
In the office, all employees gathered together, including the company's busiest artist during this period, Phoenix Legend.
The atmosphere was very relaxed. The employees pulled up chairs and sat in rows. Xiang Yang stood in front alone, with smiles on his face.
"Today's meeting is very important to the company and to you personally, so I hope you will think about it carefully." He didn't waste any more words. He picked up the thick script in his hand and shook it: "Some people already know that we are about to start filming the first episode.
It is a formal movie, the script is written by Mr. Qin, and he will also be the director."
Bang bang bang bang, the employees applauded consciously, and Xiaobao also stood up and nodded.
"Why is this movie also an opportunity for you? The company will make a profit because of it. The main reason is that after discussing with Mr. Qin, I decided to give you an investment opportunity. The minimum is 5,000 and the maximum is 50,000. Don't force it. Watch
personal."
Liu Minghua was excited on the spot: Damn it, why is the maximum only 50,000?
"Can't we increase the amount?" he asked immediately.
"No! Investment is risky, so you need to be cautious." Xiang Yang smiled.
"Then I'll invest 50,000." Liu Minghua stated his position directly.
"Brother Hua, are you asking?" an employee laughed.
Now let’s talk about the working atmosphere of Kiwi. It is very relaxed and comfortable. Since its establishment, everything has gone smoothly. The boss has never put pressure on anyone, let alone scolded anyone.
They are all young people, so getting along with them is more casual.
Xiang Yang smiled and pointed at the employee: "If you slander your colleagues, your investment rights will be revoked."
"It's okay, I don't have any money anyway." The young man smiled and didn't care.
"By the way, let me add something." Xiangyang was very lazy and felt tired after standing for a while. He dragged a chair and crossed his legs: "The eight million investment in this play will be borne by me and Mr. Qin. It is equivalent to giving
An opportunity for everyone to make money.
Oh, by the way, I didn't mention the cast.
Male lead, Leslie Cheung, supporting actor, Liu Tianwang, Xu Shaoxiong, He Jiong... female supporting actor, Luo Lan, Yuan Quan, guest appearance, Mr. Qin.”
"Mr. Xiang...I was wrong!" The young man, who had not taken it seriously just now, rushed over, hugged Xiang Yang's thigh and howled loudly.
"You have no chance." Liu Minghua said coldly: "Who said I was here for you just now?"
"Brother Hua, I was wrong, really wrong."
The eyes of several other employees were bright, and they had no time to deal with their colleagues rolling on the ground.
"Invest shares in the boss."
"I'll join in, too."
"And me."
Linghua even took out her mobile phone and clicked a few times: "The 50,000 yuan has been transferred, Zeng Yi, hurry up."
Zeng Yi was stunned: "I don't understand film investment."
"Are you stupid? Are you stupid?" Linghua angrily slapped him several times: "This is an opportunity given by the two bosses to make money for us, so hurry up."
Xiaobao was amused: "Hey, Phoenix Legend is a combination, shouldn't it only count as one share?"
"Then all the employees in the company are still one studio." Linghua was still sharp-tongued.
"Mr. Xiang, I don't have much savings. Can you wait for me while I work with my friends to transfer some money first?"
"Yeah, me too."
an employee asked.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It will be valid until get off work today." Since he has made this decision, he intends to win people's hearts. Xiang Yang does not deliberately try to get stuck. Instead of giving in, he can just order as much as he wants: "Or you can pay as much as you have, We don't mind.
But, let’s be honest, making a movie is an investment, and investment carries risks. No matter how famous the director, actor, or film company is, they cannot guarantee that they will make money 100%, so everyone must think carefully.”
The employees ignored him at all. They thought we were fools and didn't want to invest in this. If we don't have that much money, we would immediately pick up the phone and start contacting us.
"Dad, please lend me some money..."
"Brother Zhou, I have a project..."
"Brother, brother, I want to make a movie."
In less than half an hour, 500,000 yuan arrived.
"Okay, from today on, you are the investors of the film and enjoy the right to dividends. From now on, the focus of our studio will be on the film. I hope everyone will give their best, come on!"
"come on!"
No matter how much chicken soup you use for your soul, it is not as tangible as your immediate benefits.
"Mr. Qin, you are really generous." Linghua sighed as she looked at the motivated employees outside through the window.
"If you want a horse to run, you have to eat well." Xiaobao is also very satisfied with everyone's current working conditions: "In this place, it's really difficult to buy a house based on salary alone, and most of the people in our company are men.
, I have to do my best for their future, right?"
"There are really very few bosses like you. If it were someone else, at best, after a box office hit, they would be given some bonuses and buy shares directly, tsk tsk..."
"You can't make enough money," Xiaobao said with openness: "When you open a company, all the people doing the work are employees. If you treat them well, it will be me who benefits in the end. Besides, making a movie is not a guaranteed profit.
There are still risks.”
"Haha, with this lineup, even a fool knows it's impossible to lose."
Zeng Yi: "Why do you look at me when you call me a fool?"
