"Brother Lu, our company has a lot of liquidity on its books now, right?"
"That's a lot, do you have any ideas?"
Mubai Entertainment's liquidity is definitely one of the best among Huaxia Entertainment. Even Huaying, which is the number one among the seven companies, dare not say that its liquidity can stabilize Mubai Entertainment.
Entertainment companies are involved in many businesses, just like investing in film and television works, there are profits and losses, which is normal.
Starway Entertainment made a profit from its investment in "Angel Kiss" a few years ago, but lost money in the next movie "Heroes of Fire". Sometimes investments make big profits, and sometimes they make huge losses. This is all normal business operations.
But all the current works of Mubai Entertainment are making huge profits and not losing money...
Including, several concerts held by Chen Mubai were all sold out and made a lot of money.
The investment in the movie itself is not large, but the box office profit has increased many times, far exceeding expectations!
The return on investment for each movie has doubled dozens of times!
Basically, it can be regarded as a model of using small things to make a big difference. After all, these movies don't use too many special effects, and they are basically spent on the actors' remuneration.
Mubai Entertainment's cash flow is very scary, and there are no large expenditures, so there is a lot of liquidity on the books.
The box office share of "Infernal Affairs" was divided once half a month after the movie was released, and another amount will be paid when the movie is released.
At that time, another huge amount of funds will be ushered in!
Mubai Entertainment's company address has been expanded a lot, and they even bought the floor where the company is located!
"Continue to increase our efforts to acquire theater chains, seize the time, and complete the integration of theater chains as soon as possible, no matter how much money is spent."
Chen Mubai said: "In addition, you can check whether there are any animation companies or special effects companies that are about to go bankrupt in the market."
"Why are you looking for this?" Lu Fang was confused.
"By acquiring them, we have to prepare for what's next."
Chen Mubai said with a smile: "Today's film market is constantly moving forward. It is no longer the past era of relying solely on plots or special effects. Audiences are also paying more and more attention to the movie-watching experience, 3D effects, special effects...
.”
"If going to the cinema is still the same thing, they might as well watch it at home. Many people come to the cinema just to see the kind of effects they can't experience at home."
"So, we also need to work hard on special effects and be on par with special effects films. We cannot always let foreign films occupy the local market. When it comes to special effects blockbusters, they will always be foreign films. I hope that we can become China's in the future.
[Hollywood], I want special effects blockbusters to no longer be exclusive to foreign countries!”
Lu Fang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chen Mubai to say these words.
"This is a big deal!"
"Okay, I will go and investigate." A smile appeared on Lu Fang's lips.
This is Chen Mubai, and this is what he will do. He has been working hard in the direction of what he said before, promoting China's film and television culture to the world!
Since you want to make good special effects films, a good production team is definitely indispensable. The rendering of each shot may cost tens or millions!
Realistic special effects are all made with money, otherwise how can you make others visually stunning?
It may take a lot of time and energy to produce that one-second shot, which consumes huge manpower and material resources.
Chen Mubai has carefully considered everything on his own, and every step of the company is in his plan.
The plan from the beginning was to establish a foothold in the film industry, first make the film a hit, build a reputation, let everyone know the quality of the works produced by Mubai Entertainment, accumulate reputation, and cultivate loyal fans.
After Mubai Entertainment has gained a certain reputation among the public, it will then start moving towards theaters to ensure the film schedule, which will have huge advantages in promoting the film and increasing the box office.
A complete industrial chain is completed. Mubai Entertainment is an integrated company engaged in the production, promotion and distribution of film and television products, forming a closed loop in film and television to increase the company's influence.
Generally, the special effects of movies are outsourced to special effects companies, and the producers will discuss with them and tell them the desired effects.
The price must be very expensive, and it also depends on the level of the company and the amount of tasks it takes on. Currently, there are several large film and television special effects companies in China. Most of the big-investment movies will have special effects produced by them, which will provide the best effects.
good.
Chen Mubai believes that cooperation is always cooperation, and there may be conflicts in external prices and specific details. The best way is to do the special effects yourself. This way, you can produce the best special effects to the greatest extent, and you don’t have to worry about the two parties working together.
disputes arising.
If this word gets out about the acquisition of a special effects company specifically for the special effects of the movie, it will definitely make a lot of people's jaws drop.
The cost is too high!
The price of those machines and their daily maintenance require a lot of money. It would be foolish to do so.
After all, there are only so many special effects shots used in a movie, and some movies don’t even use special effects shots at all!
It is definitely a stupid act to acquire a special effects company just for a movie!
Chen Mubai is not doing it for a movie, but for his future plans in the film and television industry.
There will be more and more special effects in movies, which will become mainstream. This is also the era that promotes the advancement of the film industry. Chen Mubai has a deep understanding.
On the other hand, in the future, the investment in his works will become larger and larger, and more special effects will appear, which will require the production of special effects formulas.
Acquiring a company by yourself may seem like a lot of money, but it is beneficial to the company's long-term development.
Moreover, after acquiring a special effects company, you can not only produce special effects for your own works, but can also take orders from other works. It is not a waste of resources.
Lu Fang understood what Chen Mubai meant. This shows that the company's next stage of works will definitely use a lot of special effects, and will slowly transform and transition into special effects blockbusters, revitalizing China's special effects movies.
No one was willing to make such a large investment before. That was because it was too much, the probability of cost recovery was low, and the risk was high. After all, the market was only China's local market, which was not comparable to the global film market in Europe and the United States.
But judging from the current situation, Chen Mubai's appeal is very strong. Even if he spends hundreds of millions in production costs, he should be able to achieve billions in box office results, and the profits will still be considerable.
If Chen Mubai really puts forward the slogan of revitalizing Chinese science fiction movies, there will definitely be support.
Every time a foreign blockbuster sweeps the Chinese film market, there are netizens who hope that Chinese films can also have such special effects. This is not a person’s long-cherished wish.
Once this kind of work appears, everyone will definitely support it!
With Chen Mubai's current reputation, everyone absolutely believes in him and will not be falsely advertised.
In fact, it is also beneficial for Chen Mubai to do this, as it can improve the international status of Chinese films.
Of the four films produced by Chen Mubai, except for "Buried Alive" which gained limelight at the Venice Film Festival, this film was introduced to Europe and the United States and the box office was pretty good.
The remaining few films have not been introduced to Europe and the United States, but the response in the Southeast Asian market has been very good, especially people in South Korea and Japan like to watch his works, and the box office in India is not bad.
In other words, the influence of Chen Mubai's films is not only limited to the country, but is also spreading internationally.
Once he can really make a very good science fiction blockbuster, I'm afraid his influence will increase a lot, and it will not be impossible to go to Europe and the United States.
As the company enters the next stage, Mubai Entertainment will write a new chapter.
"The company will expand in scale and cover more and more places. Brother Lu, you will be very busy in the future." Chen Mubai joked.
"Will it delay your relationship with Sister Ran?"
"A big star like you has time to fall in love, but I have much more time than you." Lu Fang grinned.
"It's good to see you have such spirit. "Wulin Gaiden" should be almost finished. There will be new works produced by then. The company is slowly getting on the right track." Chen Mubai felt a little melancholy.
Looking back a few years ago, Mubai Entertainment was just a small company with only a few people. Now in the blink of an eye, it has become a large company with hundreds of people!
This period of hard work has not been in vain, but sometimes when he relaxes, Chen Mubai will also feel emotional.
He didn't feel anything when he was fighting hard, but once he relaxed, he could feel the burden on his shoulders. He was not only fighting for his own dream, but also carrying the dreams of many people.
It can be said that Mubai Entertainment was born to carry his dream. Lu Fang and others have been supporting him and giving him motivation.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the small workshop at the beginning has now become a giant." Lu Fang also looked sad.
At the beginning, he was really not optimistic about Chen Mubai's decision to establish Mubai Entertainment.
He knew very well that without a background in the entertainment industry, it would be too difficult to get started.
But I didn't expect that Chen Mubai would actually fight his way out, which was really surprising.
However, this level of difficulty is indeed very high, and I relied on excellent works to achieve it all the way, and even broke through the blockade of several companies.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago. Not everyone can be like Chen Mubai and create many outstanding works. His success cannot be copied.
"When will the next film start shooting?"
"Just these few days, otherwise we won't be able to make it in time."
After all, it needs to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is already the end of August, so time is very tight.
"Are there any questions about the actors?" Lu Fang asked.
"No, I've thought about it all. I, Xia Fan, will play Duoduo."
"Don't want a heroine?"
"No, this is a comedy story between three men. At the end of the film, I will let Yaoyao make a cameo appearance and treat her as the heroine." Chen Mubai smiled.
