October 2004 has passed, and the north wind in November has begun to blow, and the capital has begun to get cold. Standing in front of the 11th floor of Qiao Hengyuan Community, Shao Shuaijun felt that everything in life was getting better. In the past October,
Happy events come one after another.
First of all, of course, after half a month of preparations for the filming of "Crazy Racing", the cast and filming location have been confirmed, and they are currently filming on the round-island road section of Ludao City (referring to Xiamen). Shao Shuaijun was overjoyed
What's surprising is that before the filming of "Crazy Racing" started, many businesses came to ask for advertisements, and the final deal was 18 million. This alone earned more than half of the cost.
"Crazy Racing" Huayi Brothers and Huayi Shao Shuaijun Studio each invested half and half, and the share was also half. The original investment was 10 million, and an additional 20 million was added for promotional expenses. Both parties shared 15 million equally. Now they only need to share 6 million equally.
can.
The second thing is that Shao Shuaijun Studio has finally settled on the 11th floor of Hengyuan Community in Nanqiao, renting three units of 101, 102 and 201. Because it is in Chaoyang District, not far from Fenglian Plaza of Huayi Brothers
Not far away, the rent is very expensive, more than 20,000 yuan a month.
The staff were not all there, and there was no time to look around. Liu Sanxi, Anan, Sishui and Zebra were temporarily asked to come over to check on the door. Shao Shuaijun also asked his elder sister to take care of the studio's finances. He transferred "Crazy Racing" and "Source"
Let’s start with the account of “Code”.
The third thing is that the investors of "Source Code" have been negotiated. Huayi Brothers invested 25 million and was responsible for distribution, accounting for 35% of the box office share; Poly Bona invested 20 million and accounted for 26% of the box office share; Media Asia Variety
Investing 18 million yuan, accounting for 22% of the box office share; Shao Shuaijun invested 5 million, accounting for 7% of the box office share, and as director, screenwriter and starring, he also occupied 10% of the box office share, for a total of 17% of the box office share.
These investments add up to 68 million.
The contract also stipulates that once the movie's box office in the mainland exceeds 100 million, Shao Shuaijun's 10% director share will be reduced to 5%, and the other 5% will make up for the losses of the three investors. Correspondingly, the production and shooting of the movie will be by
Shao Shuaijun Studio is solely responsible and investors have no right to interfere.
At the same time, in terms of overseas box office, several film companies do not have good overseas distribution channels. Therefore, they will look for third-party distribution. Excluding agency fees, the three companies and Shao Shuaijun will each share 25% of the profits.
The fourth thing is that Huayi Brothers has reached a financing agreement with TOM Group. Based on the original Huayi Brothers Taihe Television Investment Company, it will repurchase 45% of the equity of Taihe Investment and form a new company - Huayi Brothers.
Media Group. TOM Group obtained 30% of the shares of the new company with US$10 million in financing, brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei obtained 65% of the shares of the new company, and Shao Shuaijun obtained 5% of the shares of the new company at a cost of 30 million yuan.
The new company, Huayi Brothers Media Group, has a registered capital of 126 million yuan and has truly become a giant company in the mainland entertainment industry.
Everything went smoothly, which made Shao Shuaijun feel particularly comfortable. After his rebirth, as of now, he doesn't have any big ambitions. It seems that it is enough for him to make his favorite movies and enjoy a happy life with his family at the same time.
On the first Monday of November, in Hong Kong, Huayi Brothers Media Group held a grand press conference. Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Shao Shuaijun, and Stephen, the resident representative of TOM Group, took their seats on the podium. Regarding this,
With this one action, almost all the famous media from all over the country, whether entertainment media or economic media, swarmed in.
Today’s protagonists are Wang Zhongjun brothers and TOM Group. As the first domestic private entertainment company’s IPO, its impact will definitely be far-reaching. With the rapid development of the domestic economy, the entertainment industry has also continued to prosper, and will surely play an important role in people’s lives in the future.
and occupy a greater position in the country's economy.
It can be said that the IPO of Huayi Brothers is not only the progress of Huayi Brothers, but also the progress of the mainland's entertainment industry. It indicates that the mainland is opening up its own entertainment industry, which will exude a fatal temptation to capital from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and foreign countries.
Feng Xiaogang, who is promoting the new drama "A World Without Thieves" in Hong Kong, also attended the press conference with Ge You, Xu Fan and Li Bingbing. Looking at Shao Shuaijun sitting stupidly on the stage, Feng Xiaogang felt that he was not jealous. That was a lie, but unfortunately
.Although Feng Xiaogang is more famous than Shao Shuaijun, he doesn't have as much money.
Feng Xiaogang earns hard-earned money from making movies, and he spends money lavishly. Every time he makes a movie, he has to find money everywhere for investment. He really doesn't have much worth to buy shares of Huayi Brothers. But Shao Shuaijun succeeded too quickly, especially in "
"Crazy Stone", I invested it myself and earned more than 20 million in the mainland alone. It was released one after another in Southeast Asia and achieved good box office.
It can be said that I made a crazy profit of 40 to 50 million, and I had enough money to invest in buying shares.
Why is there such a big gap between people? Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, Shao Shuaijun also lamented: "The entertainment industry is so profitable now. Huayi Brothers only has a capital of more than 100 million. In the future, it will have a market value of 10 billion. Think about it. Nowadays, when stars make movies, their superstar level is only a few
With a net worth of millions, the second and third tier starlets of later generations will cost tens or even millions to appear, it’s incomparable!”
Time flies.
After dealing with the IPO of Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhonglei announced on the spot: "Huayi Brothers Media Group has a bright future. We have invested in music, agents, television, movies, advertising and other businesses. As a new company after the establishment of
The first business plan, I am here to solemnly announce that Huayi Brothers Media Group, Poly Bona, and Media Asia Variety will invest 100 million, and the latest movie "Source Code" directed by Shao Shuaijun will be officially launched!"
Wow!
The flashlight of the entertainment media suddenly flashed, 100 million. How many domestic films have investments exceeding 100 million?
"Red Zone" and "Human Torch" in 1995, "A Good Man" in 1997, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000, "Heroes" in 2002, this year's "New Police Story" and the upcoming "
"House of Flying Daggers", next year's "The Promise", "If Love" has exceeded 100 million, but other than that, there is no one left!
There are only nine Chinese-language movies in total, with investments claiming to be over 100 million, but in fact only less than half of them are actually over 100 million.
"Source Code" is also an investment of over 100 million yuan. The media naturally knows that there is some water in it, but it is definitely a large investment and it is definitely breaking news.
"I would like to ask Mr. Wang, is it too hasty to invest over 100 million yuan in investing in a newcomer who has only made two movies?"
"It's not hasty. This is a decision made by the company after discussion. We are optimistic about "Source Code" and even more optimistic about director Shao Shuaijun. This will be a movie that makes money and earns reputation."
"Director Shao, as a newcomer, the cost of shooting a science fiction movie is still so high. Are you prepared? What gives you so much confidence? Have you ever thought about what to do if you fail?"
Shao Shuaijun picked up the microphone and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "To be honest, I am a very commercial director, or in other words, I am a director who likes to watch the market and make movies. What are the most profitable Chinese-language movies now? It can be said clearly.
, Comedies and romantic films are the most profitable. As long as I think about it, I can shoot a movie that will be a hit at the box office..."
