Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 766 Financing
"Fast and Furious 4" was a big box office hit in the first week, which naturally made Liang Tianchi Pictures overjoyed, especially Smart, who was not very optimistic about Chen Hao taking over this series, but now he only admires it.

No wonder he was able to create Liangtianchi Films at such a young age, but this kind of vision is very human.

The box office of "Fast and Furious 4" is certainly gratifying, but what makes Liang Tianchi Pictures the happiest is the recovery of the movie's reputation.

The clarification and strengthening of the family concept, as well as the shocking "cars can still be driven like this!", have won "Fast 4" a lot of praise, and many media believe that "Fast 4" is on the right track and is in line with different paths.

This also means that the "Quick Fury" series has been revived again!
In Hollywood, nothing makes more money than a series!
While Liang Tianchi Pictures was happy, Universal was embarrassed, because it was they who handed over the "Quick Fury" series to Liang Tianchi Pictures.

Although they also took advantage of this to make a fortune for Liang Tianchi and Chen Hao, but compared with the series activated "Quick Fury", now they can't laugh at all.

The key is that they are now cooperating with Chen Hao, and Chen Hao is well-known in North America, and "Iron Man" keeps him in the sky, so Universal does not want to miss the cooperation with Chen Hao.

But in the end, Universal still had a problem for Chen Hao. They did not agree to restart the "Jurassic Park" series, and the script had already been given to Chen Hao. If Chen Hao was not satisfied, then he could write a script himself!

When Chen Hao saw Universal's email, he couldn't help but smile, feeling a bit sour.

But after thinking about it, Chen Hao agreed, because the script given by Universal was really not very good, and Chen Hao didn't want to ruin his golden name.

In the previous cooperation agreement with Universal, this situation was considered. I have to say that the cooperation agreement with Hollywood is too detailed, and most of the situations have been taken into consideration.

It is stated in the agreement that if Chen Hao wrote the script, then the copyright belongs to Chen Hao, which is Chen Hao's strong request.

Due to Chen Hao's fame, Universal held his nose and admitted, but in terms of income, Universal did not give up at all.

All the investment is done by Universal, and the corresponding film income also belongs to Universal. This is not only the box office, but also DVD rental, premium channel license fees, ordinary TV channels, fixed-site fees, derivative product authorization development, etc.

Of course, Chen Hao can get his own director and screenwriter remuneration, 1500 million US dollars + 10% of the global box office share!

The split may be due to the fear that Chen Hao will not take it seriously and ruin the movie, and Universal will suffer a lot.

In addition, if the film has a sequel, director Chen Hao's film salary will increase to 2000 million US dollars + 15% of the global box office share.

If you don't direct, you can only get 10% of the North American box office.

However, if a sequel is filmed, even if Chen Hao does not direct the sequel, it will be regarded as two cooperations, which also means that the cooperation agreement between Chen Hao and Universal has expired, and there is no longer a cooperative relationship.

Chen Hao agreed to Universal's plan, and he could write the script himself. In fact, since Universal has been hesitant to restart "Jurassic Park" and handed over the script, Chen Hao thought of this result.

So, I already have a plan for what to shoot, but there are still some problems with the copyright, which just need to be handed over to Universal to solve.

……

""Edge of Tomorrow" is officially finished and has entered post-production!"-- Netease Entertainment
"Chen Hao held a wrap-up banquet, and the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" is over!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"After three months, "Edge of Tomorrow" is finished, and the sword is pointing to the summer file!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

As soon as "Edge of Tomorrow" finished filming, the media reported the relevant news, obviously paying close attention to Chen Hao's new film.

This is the treatment and influence of the four directors!

Not to mention that "Edge of Tomorrow" is the Chinese film with the largest investment in China this year, and it is also one of the most anticipated films!
Among the top four directors this year, apart from Chen Hao's one Chinese-language film every year, only "Three Shots Surprise" returned after three years from the National Teacher.

Neither Feng Dapao nor Chen Kaige has any new films released.

However, apart from the films of Chen Hao and Guo Shi, there are still several highly anticipated films in 2009.

First of all, "Under the Red Cliff", which was released at the beginning of the year and has already been drawn, has a box office of 2.58 million in the mainland.

Although "On the Red Cliff" has a poor reputation, as one of the few super blockbusters, the market still welcomes "Under the Red Cliff".

However, it was also affected by word-of-mouth and its own quality problems. The final box office of "Under the Red Cliff" was 2.58 million, which is not as good as "On the Red Cliff"!
You must know that "On the Red Cliff" competed head-on with "2012", and both got 2.68 million box office.

It may also be a word-of-mouth problem, and the Spring Festival stalls are not yet mature, which caused this result.

In addition, Lu Chuan's "Nanjing Nanjing" was also released on April 4. This movie has attracted much attention because of its special theme and the aura of "Kekexili".

As for movies, forget it, anyway, after this battle, "the famous director of the island country Lu Chuantaro" became popular all over the country.

However, "Nanjing Nanjing" made 6000 million in the first week and 6200 million in the second week, becoming the fourth film in the mainland to break the 2009 million box office in 4.

This also means that Lu Chuan has become the seventh mainland director to be promoted to the 7 million box office club!
The two-week box office of "Nanjing Nanjing" was 1.2 million yuan, surpassing the 1.08 million yuan of Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing", temporarily ranking second in the mainland's annual box office in 2009, second only to "Under the Red Cliff" with 2.58 million yuan!
In addition, "October Besieged City" with an all-star lineup, "Founding of the People's Republic of China" with even a star, and the second part of the "Transformers" series, which won a box office of 2007 million in 2.68, are all top three at the box office. Favorable contender.

And "The Wind" starring Mr. Xun and Fan Yaojing, Hollywood blockbusters "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", "Night at the Museum 2", "Special Forces", etc. are all expected to break [-] million at the box office and enter the top ten of the year!

……

After Chen Hao returned to the imperial capital, before he had time to edit the movie, he had to sit in the office and deal with the files accumulated during filming.

But after a while, Chen Guofu, Ning Hao, Hao Yi and Hu Jin came to the door at the same time.

"What's the situation?" Chen Hao looked at the four of them and asked.

"It's about the listing of Haotian Films." Chen Guofu said.

"Well, tell me, I'm listening." Chen Hao stopped and said.

"The "Administrative Measures" has been formally implemented, and we have made corresponding preparations according to the listing requirements." Chen Guofu said, "Whether it is established for three years and has made profits for three consecutive years, or the board of directors, the board of supervisors, etc."

"What's the problem?" Chen Hao asked.

"There are two problems. One is that we haven't raised funds yet, and the other is that the number of shareholders is insufficient." Chen Guofu said.

"En." Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this.

Because Haotian Films has always had Chen Hao at its back, and Chen Hao is unwilling to let others take advantage of it, there are no other people except for the three shareholders Chen Hao, Ning Hao and Hao Yi.

Therefore, Haotian Films has never raised funds.

When a company wants to raise funds, those cases of fraud and crime are not counted. It is generally for funds, that is, the company must have sufficient external funds to support its further development and growth.

Of course, financing is not necessarily all about money, and some companies are not short of money, but lack channels, resources, and so on.

Just like the listing of Haotian Films, it is not particularly bad money, but they are both leaders in the industry, Huayi and Chengtian are vying to be listed.

If Haotian is not listed, then in terms of external image, it seems to be inferior.

And after going public, the company can indeed get a lot of money for development, so the development speed of Huayi and Chengtian will increase again.

Even if Haotian Films is not short of money, but in the face of the competition between Huayi and Chengtian, it has to burn money, so it may not be enough to burn.

At the same time, there is another very important reason, that is to attract talents who live in the company to prevent being poached.

The high-level executives of Haotian Films such as Ning Hao, Hao Yi, and Chen Guofu, as well as the company's facades such as Mr. Xun, Fan Yaojing, Deng Chao, etc., in addition to human relationships, monetary interests are also crucial.

The management of many companies choose to leave because the company has not been listed for a long time and has not honored the option rewards.

In addition to consolidating its leading position, going public also serves to reward and stabilize the company's management and core personnel.

"Financing before listing has many advantages. First, the introduction of strategic investors before listing can improve the company's overall image, increase the stock issue price and financing effect at the time of listing.

Overseas strategic investors are generally overseas listed companies or well-known venture capital funds, which have obvious appeal to public investors in the capital market, and many strategic investors can even provide business support and assistance for the company.

For example, when the Bank of Communications was listed in Xiangjiang, it first introduced the strategic investor HSBC Bank, which achieved better financing results and market outlook performance.

Second, the introduction of strategic investors before listing can obtain the foreign exchange funds needed for overseas restructuring.

In the past red-chip operations, the original shareholder established an overseas shell company, and the overseas shell company then acquired a domestic company. The acquisition process required foreign exchange funds, and the funds of strategic investors could be used for this purpose.

Third, the introduction of strategic investors before listing can obtain listing fees.If a company pays a lot of expenses during its operations, it may put pressure on the company's cash flow. If it introduces strategic investors overseas, it can be directly paid overseas, which is relatively simple. " Hu Jin said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "I see, you are familiar with this aspect, you can look at the arrangement! It's just that the time must be as soon as possible."

There are only two and a half months to apply for listing qualifications.

"Don't worry about this. Many investment banks have always wanted to invest in Haotian Films, but they have never had the opportunity, and now it is an opportunity to make money. Just say hello, and you can choose!
Of course, I will definitely screen well, and only those capitals that are beneficial to the company's development and powerful can come in. "Hu Jin laughed.

Chen Guofu then glanced at Chen Hao and said, "Since it's going to be listed, what about the shareholders?"

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "In addition to Ning Hao and Hao Yi's existing shares, Mr. Chen and the core management of Haotian Films, plus Mr. Xun, Deng Chao, Fan Yaojing and other artists must all give original shares.

Hello everyone, it's really good! "

Chen Guofu laughed and said, "Yes, hahaha..."

"Because there is a requirement for the number of shareholders to be listed, the company can also consider giving some benefits to companies and the media that are closely related to the company's business." Hu Jin said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, entertainment is a circle, and there are various intricate relationships.

It would be wishful thinking for a company to sweep the entertainment industry by itself. For companies with close cooperation, as well as the media, they have to deal well.

In this way, if something happens to the company, it can help you cover it up, and if there is a work, it can help you promote it.

It is precisely because of this mixed relationship between you and me that you can further improve the company's ability to resist risks, so that it will not collapse when the wind blows.

For example, in terms of media public relations, although it is a bit exaggerated to say that he is the uncrowned king, it is definitely not groundless!
There is a very typical example, and it will happen soon.

That is Zhou Yi, who is known as "Southern Zhou Yi and Northern Sugar Man". At the beginning of that century, he shot "Wulin Outer History", "Xiao Shishilang", "Water Moon Cave", "Love Through Time and Space", "Li Wei "Being an Official", "Legend of the Mirror", "The Boy King" and many other dramas.

The memories of childhood and youth in the minds of countless post-80s and post-90s collapsed because of a "feeding door".

Under the crazy media reports, Zhou Yi went bankrupt and dissipated in just a few months, and the company's news is not updated anymore!

Many Zhouyi drama fans have been paying attention to this company many years later, leaving a message under its last post, looking forward to its return.

Countless people were stunned and sighed because of Zhouyi's bankruptcy. After all, it was the lost youth of a generation!
Of course, the unreasonable arrangement of Zhou Yi's internal artist resources, problems with the cooperating director, etc. are also the reasons for this result.

But as long as Zhou Yi has a qualified public relations department, or has a good relationship with the media, he won't be drowned by the spit stars of the media!

Regardless of whether the "feeding gate" is true or not, if we get closer to the media, we won't be blacked out across the country like this.

This is why Hu Jin asked Chen Hao to give some small profits to these media.

Chen Hao thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "President Chen is responsible for this matter!"

Chen Guofu nodded and said, "Okay, I will take care of it."

"By the way, in addition to the transferred shares, the company has to prepare at least 10% of the shares for listing." Hu Jin said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "Then let's just draw up a list of the original shares for sale, so that I can know it well."

The original shares and 10% of the listed shares sold out must have come from the shares held by Chen Hao, Ning Hao and Hao Yi. After all, only the three of them own shares.

And Chen Hao holds 86% of the shares of Haotian Films, Ning Hao holds 10%, Hao Yi holds 4%, who will pay how much has to be discussed.

How many original shares each person buys and whether they are willing to buy them is also a question.
