Chapter 764: Sitting on the ground and sharing money
Although the total box office has been released, it will still take some time before investor Zhang Wanqiang is given the money.
These box offices will be divided first by Dragon Soul Entertainment Company and the theater company, and then the rest will be distributed to investors in proportion to their investment.
At this time, the share ratio between theater chains and film production companies in Hong Kong City is 4/6.
Theaters take 40%, and film production companies take 60%.
This ratio is quite reasonable.
However, after arriving in mainland China, most theater chains were owned by some powerful capital, and the share ratio became 5/5 points, or 5.5/4.5 points. Instead, the theater chains took the lion's share.
To some extent, this dampened the enthusiasm of film production companies and began to enter online movies.
The quality of the films varies widely, and there are countless bad ones.
Later, after a long period of adjustment by various interests, the share ratio was finally settled at 45%/55%.
The total box office of 91.53 million Hong Kong dollars shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry in one fell swoop. Although everyone knew that Dragon Soul Entertainment's first movie had a high probability of success, no one expected it to be so successful.

Hundreds of theaters in Hong Kong City were laughing from ear to ear.
With such big-selling movie tickets, two or three movies a year are enough for them to earn their operating costs for the whole year.
After Dragon Soul Entertainment Company's finances split the money with the theaters, they also filed tax returns. After a series of operations, the final box office revenue of the entire film was nearly HK$50 million.
You know, this drama produced by Dragon Soul Entertainment claims to have invested 40 million Hong Kong dollars, but now that the box office has been compared, the net profit on the book is only 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Account split day, Dragon Soul Capital headquarters.
Zhang Wanqiang came here full of joy, and every time he thought about the total box office of more than 90 million, he became even happier.
"Director Lu, Mr. Zhang, cough... I'm not too late." Zhang Wanqiang came to the chairman's office and saw Lu Ye and Zhang Song, smiling.
"Of course it's not too late. Mr. Zhang seems to be in a good mood." Lu Ye also smiled.
"It's thanks to Director Lu that this drama is a hit, so of course I'm in a good mood." Zhang Wanqiang said with a smile.
Lu Ye casually took a document from the table and handed it to Zhang Wanqiang.
"Here is Mr. Zhang's profit share from this investment. Mr. Zhang, please take a look at it first."
"Haha... Okay, let's get down to business first. I'll invite Director Lu and Mr. Zhang to join us later!"
Zhang Wanqiang said with a smile, lowered his head and opened the document.
I saw that there were a lot of small words densely packed on the document, which made people dizzy when they read it.
Zhang Wanqiang finally found his profit distribution part from the document.
"The box office is 50 million Hong Kong dollars, the shooting cost is 40 million Hong Kong dollars, the net profit is 10 million Hong Kong dollars? 50-50 split, my final profit is 500 Hong Kong dollars?"
Zhang Wanqiang couldn't believe his eyes. The total box office was obviously as high as 91.53 million. How did it turn into a profit of 10 million Hong Kong dollars after many calculations?
"Director Lu, are you kidding me?" Seeing such numbers, Zhang Wanqiang couldn't laugh anymore.
"Mr. Zhang can say this, it seems that you are really a layman."
When Lu Ye heard this, he was not angry because of Zhang Wanqiang's sudden change of attitude. He just shook his head.

At the end of the day, Zhang Song did not forget to remind Zhang Wanqiang.
Of the 5 million Hong Kong dollars in income, an additional 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars will be paid to Dragon Soul Capital.
There is still HKD 3.5 million left.
Zhang Wanqiang felt as if a fly had smacked into his throat at this moment, making him feel as sick as possible.
"Director Lu, is there something wrong with your plan?" Zhang Wanqiang couldn't help but ask.
When Lu Ye heard this, his smile did not diminish.
"There is definitely no problem with the plan. I promised you everything at the beginning, but I have done everything. Now every penny of the 23.5 million Hong Kong dollars is clean. Mr. Zhang can use it with confidence and boldness.
"
"The reason why Mr. Zhang is so frustrated is mainly because he doesn't understand the rules of this industry, so he has unrealistic imaginations."
"However, the investment in this film is indeed a bit larger. As the first film we all collaborate on, it is inevitable that there will be some unforeseen mistakes, but fortunately the result is good."
Can this result be considered a good one? With a box office of more than 90 million, I also contributed 4 million to the box office. At the end of the day, I still lost 500,000!

Although there was resentment in his heart, Zhang Wanqiang could not show it.
"That's what Director Lu said." Zhang Wanqiang said helplessly.
Knowing that the gap in Zhang Wanqiang's heart was too big, Lu Ye immediately tried to comfort him and said, "Through this cooperation, we have indeed discovered a lot of problems."
"I think it can be adjusted like this. In the future, we can give Mr. Zhang a larger share of the investment in the films produced by Dragon Soul Entertainment. For example, if the next film has a total investment of 10 million, Mr. Zhang will contribute 70% of it, and the rest will be allocated to Mr. Zhang.
With the investment from our Dragon Soul Capital, wouldn’t it be possible to increase the proportion of Mr. Zhang’s income?”
Hearing this, Zhang Wanqiang responded helplessly.
"Just follow Director Lu's arrangements."
At this time, the ticketing company had also started up. In order to launder his shady money, Zhang Wanqiang had no choice but to accept it.
"OK! Now that we've finished talking about the business, Ah Song, arrange the finance department to get Mr. Zhang's money back as soon as possible."
"Mr. Zhang, what is the process for our one-stop service?" Lu Ye looked at Zhang Wanqiang with a smile.
"I see it's so early, let's go take a sauna first and then go have dinner." Zhang Song said from the side.

"Then let's do it this way."
Zhang Wanqiang weakly agreed.
After Dragon Soul Capital's finances transferred all the money to Zhang Wanqiang's personal account, Zhang Wanqiang's investment was completely settled on Dragon Soul Capital's side.
