Chapter 699
If it is a studio, it is a sole proprietorship, and the personal income tax to be paid is small and can only be regarded as a small business.

However, if a film and television company is established, it has complete functions and responsibilities, and other things such as value-added tax are involved.

If you want to expand the scale, it is imperative to establish a film and television company!Just like the movie "Infernal Affairs", if Yi Shuihan had his own complete film and television company, he would not need to outsource the director, crew, film production, and film distribution to other companies, and could complete it independently.

Zheng Liaoyuan's decision cannot be said to be wrong. If he wants to make movies his main business, he must make such a transformation.

It's just that the transformation is appropriate at this time... Yi Shuihan is a little hesitant.

For now, the studio doesn't have enough background and contacts to wade through this muddy water.

"Wait a little longer..." Yi Shuihan made this decision after pondering for a moment, "Now is not the best time!"

Zheng Liaoyuan also nodded, and he didn't insist on this matter at this time.

Mentioning it is just to let Yi Shuihan have a bottom line in his heart. Once there is a development direction, there will always be a day when it can be realized.

"Is the filming of "Infernal Affairs" going well?" After chatting for a while, Zheng Liaoyuan asked this question. He knew very well what this film meant to the studio.

Yi Shuihan smiled and nodded, thinking about the hard work and hard work of the past few months, he said firmly: "Very good - better than I imagined!"

"That way I can rest assured," Zheng Liaoyuan said with a laugh, "If this step can be made steadily, the road ahead will be much easier!"

"Well, as long as the foundation is solid, it's fine even if you stumble accidentally in the future!" Yi Shuihan responded.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as "Infernal Affairs" can open up the market, then he will have a good foundation for his next film.

"Since you are so confident, how about an estimate at the box office?" Zheng Liaoyuan teased with a smile.

He also wanted to know what kind of mentality and evaluation Yi Shuihan had on this movie.

At present, the film is still in post-production, and together with the promotion, the approximate investment will fluctuate around 1000 million.

According to the established market share and expenditure, if you want to make money back, then the box office of this movie must reach at least 5000 million!

This is an extremely difficult goal for a studio entering the film field for the first time, but judging from the director, cast and script, it does not seem to be too difficult a goal...

Yi Shuihan smiled, he would think about this question in his spare time, of course he hoped that this movie could break the box office record of 32 billion Chinese movies.

But he knows that this is absolutely whimsical, even if the film is well shot.

Not all good movies can get a super high box office. It depends on the theater's schedule, release time, movie promotion, film critics' reviews, movies in the same period, competition and other factors. It will also be hooked on the social background.

This is the uncertainty in the film industry. The companies that make films don’t think they can make money, so they invest so much money, but in the end, countless of them lost their money.

But when it comes to losing money, Yi Shuihan will never underestimate himself like this. If even this "Infernal Affairs" loses money, then he should not try to invest in movies in the future, just act in movies obediently.

"Before I see the finished film, I can't make a very accurate judgment..." Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, then said with firm eyes: "But I conservatively estimate... the box office of this movie will be at least over one billion!"

"Aren't you kidding me?" Zheng Liaoyuan asked in surprise with his eyes wide open, one billion -- if there is such a high box office, then this movie is definitely considered a big hit, and Yi Shuihan also said it was a conservative estimate...

"No kidding!" Yi Shuihan said firmly.

"Okay!" Zheng Liaoyuan said excitedly, "If that's the case, we'll have a firm foothold!"

"However..." Zheng Liaoyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I just don't know if Yongcheng Media will get in the way, but they are still very influential in this circle!"

Yi Shuihan frowned, and said after a while: "Probably not... Maybe it's impossible. Although Fang Xiangrui, who we offended, is the young leader of Yongcheng Media, he is not the person in charge after all. Such a large group will not let him go. It's up to him to mess around, and it's a personal grievance after all, and he wouldn't spend so much effort to deal with me if there is no conflict of interest."

"Well, that's right," Zheng Liaoyuan agreed after thinking for a while, "We should pay more attention to the Sea God Group!"

Sea God Group?Yi Shuihan frowned slightly, and he had to pay attention to this.

Because of Liu Ruwei's relationship, he had deep conflicts with Li Kang of the Sea God Group.

And this time "Infernal Affairs" just collided with the opponent's "Prison Storm".

Enemy's road is narrow, and it is a movie that competes with the same kind, so it is impossible not to have conflicts.

From the press conference of the new film, the two films began to compete against each other.

Because of the lineup and investment, before that, "Infernal Affairs" was overwhelmed by "Prison Storm".

During the filming period, the competition between the two films became more and more intense, and currently "Infernal Affairs" is still at a disadvantage.

Yi Shuihan believes that the final quality is the real contest, but if it is crushed too much in the early stage of release, it will have a great impact on the early box office of "Infernal Affairs"!
What's more, there is a big gap between Yi Shuihan and the other side in terms of channels and resources.

You have to find a way to get back a city!Yi Shuihan thought, thoughts surged in his dark eyes.

"How is the promotion of our movie at present?" Yi Shuihan asked.

"We've already begun to work hard... But now they are overshadowed by the limelight of "Prison Storm", they really don't think it's money. According to the news, their publicity expenses have exceeded tens of millions so far..." Zheng Liaoyuan Shen Said in a loud voice: "The publicity expenditure we planned before was only 800 million in total, which is beyond our capabilities!"

"The publicity on your side keeps up. Whether it's online or offline physical publicity, you must at least ensure that it can reach a balance with "Prison Storm". As for the publicity expenses... If it is not enough, we will inject more capital! These will be in the I earned it later!" Yi Shuihan said calmly after thinking for a while.

Zheng Liaoyuan nodded and said with a smile, "Haha, with your one billion box office guarantee, I'm willing to spend more on publicity!"

"The wind and rain are coming!" Yi Shuihan sighed, "The other party must have another trick... Let's watch the movie when it comes out, and then we will have a showdown!"
