Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 801 2009 and 2010
The title should be 2009 and 2010 of Tianchi!

“好，那就我先来说说量天尺影业吧！”斯玛特点头道，“公司2009年一共参与投资制作了5部影片，分别是《钢铁侠2》、《暮光之城2》、《舞出我人生3》、《兽餐3》以及《电锯惊魂6》！
And there are only 3 company movies released this year, namely "Beast Meal 3", "Chain Saw 6" and "Twilight Saga 2"!
Among them, "Twilight Saga 2" is still in global release at this time, and the box office share cannot be settled, so the statistical data temporarily excludes it.

"Beast Meal 3", the investment cost is 1500 million US dollars, and the North American box office is also 1500 million US dollars!
The company received a share of US$750 million in the North American box office. After deducting taxes, the company actually received US$675 million. After deducting investment costs, the company actually lost US$825 million on this film.

Although this series can slowly recover the cost from the rental and sales of video discs and DVDs, the box office potential of this series has no potential, and the company's investment in other films is increasing.

Therefore, this series is temporarily sealed, what will happen in the future, to be determined!

"Chain Saw 6" had an investment cost of US$1100 million, a North American box office of US$2769 million, an overseas box office of US$4054 million, and a global box office of US$6823 million!
The company received a share of US$1520 million from the North American box office, US$1420 million from overseas, and a total of US$2940 million from the global box office.

After deducting taxes, the company actually received USD 2575 million, and after deducting investment costs, the net profit was USD 1475 million.

Although "Saw 6" created the lowest box office result of the series, the company decided to continue with "Saw 7" given that the company still made money on this movie.

However, the film will be launched in 1 after a lapse of one year.

"Twilight Saga 2" is still in theaters, so there is no box office share.

However, "The Twilight Saga Part 1", which was released last year, was drawn this year, so the film's box office share was also included in this year's income.

The investment cost of "Twilight" was US$3700 million, and the box office in North America was US$1.87 million, ranking No. 2008 in the North American box office list in 5!
The overseas box office is 1.64 million US dollars, and the global box office is 3.51 million!
The company received a share of US$9350 million from the North American box office and US$5740 million from overseas, for a total of US$1.509 million.

After deducting taxes, the company actually received US$1.3294 million, and after deducting costs, the net profit was US$9594 million.

总体来说，在电影投资制作方面，公司2009年共计投资2.92亿美元进行5部电影的制作，同比2008年的1.5亿美元增长了94.66%。

In terms of box office, excluding the box office of "Twilight Saga 2", the company's North American box office in 2009 was US$2.2969 million, compared with US$2008 million in 5.3083, a negative growth of 131%!

The overseas box office was 2.0454 million U.S. dollars, compared with 2008's 6.211 million U.S. dollars, a negative growth of 67.06%!

The global box office was 4.3423 million U.S. dollars, compared with 2008's 11.5193 billion U.S. dollars, a negative growth of 62.3%!

The company received a global box office share of 1.8524 million U.S. dollars, and after deducting taxes, it actually received 1.6544 million U.S. dollars. After excluding investment costs, the net profit loss was 1.2656 million U.S. dollars! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. He lost money again this year, but Chen Hao has already experienced it and knows the reason.

Looking at Chen Hao's face, Smart explained, "The company lost money in 2009, the reason is the same as before, today's "Iron Man 2" and "Dancing Out of My Life 2" with an investment of 3 million were not released.

Although "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" was released, it has not yet been released. The current box office momentum is about to hit 2 million US dollars. It should be able to make a lot of money for the company, but there is no box office share for the time being.

In other words, it is equivalent to transferring this year's profit to next year. If the box office performance of "Iron Man 2" meets expectations, then we will definitely still make money this year. "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, he also knew it was so, and he was very optimistic about "Iron Man 2".

"Iron Man" has gained a great reputation in North America far exceeding Chen Hao's expectations. The box office in North America is also the second in the year and the third in the global box office. As the second part of the series, it will definitely explode at the box office.

Chen Hao felt that Liang Tianchi Films' first film with a global box office of over 10 billion was likely to be born soon!

"Go ahead!" Chen Hao said.

"The company also has income from film distribution. In 2009, the company controlled or participated in the distribution of 10 films, an increase of 25% compared to last year.

A total of US$8400 million was invested in publicity and distribution expenses, and the box office share was US$1.17 million. After excluding costs, the profit was US$3300 million. After taxation, the net profit was US$2970 million.

By the way, the company's current distribution capacity has expanded to about 2300, an increase of about 300 compared to last year.

In addition, the company's film library also has copyright income. Through other distribution channels, the film library has brought a total of 6900 million US dollars in revenue to the company, which is 1100 million US dollars more than last year.

After deducting taxes, the company's copyright income net profit in 2009 was 6210 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 12.7%! said Smart.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. The distribution and copyright are increasing year by year, obviously because the distribution capacity and film library of Liang Tianchi Films are gradually growing.

"In 2009, the company spent a total of 3.76 million US dollars on film investment, production, distribution and copyright, with a revenue of 6.2023 million US dollars and a negative net profit of 3476 million US dollars!
Let’s talk about the company’s other expenses, first of all, the company’s loans and debts, the loans are 1530 million, the debts are 5000 million, and the company’s rent, wages and other expenses are 350 million, a total of 6880 million US dollars.

Counting all expenses and profits, the company's actual net profit in 2009 was a negative $1.0356 million! said Smart.

Chen Hao nodded after hearing this. This should be the worst year in the history of Liangtianchi Pictures' annual data report. The net profit actually lost more than [-] million yuan.

Although it was because the three films were not screened and received a share of the box office, Chen Hao still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Chen Hao also knew that this was all caused by himself. The huge debts and high investment caused the ugly performance when he started the Marvel super movie hero universe.

Fortunately, the future is bright, Chen Hao must persevere.

After Smart glanced at Chen Hao, he continued, "Next is Liang Tianchi Films' 2010 film plan. The company will invest in the production of 5 films next year."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao immediately interrupted, "Get rid of the investment in my new film, let's keep the previous 4 films!"

Smart didn't say much when he heard the words, and nodded directly, "The company plans to invest in the production of 2010 new films in 4.

分别是投资1.5亿的《雷神》、1.4亿的《美国队长》、1.25亿的《速度与激情5》以及6500万的《暮光之城3》！
The five films will have a total investment of US$4 million, an increase of 4.8% from this year's US$2.92 million.

In addition, in 2010, the company still needs to repay bank loans of 1530 million US dollars, Marvel debt of 5000 million US dollars, and other costs of about 350 million US dollars.

In other words, the company's current known spending in 2010 will reach $5.488 million! "

Chen Hao nodded slowly when he heard the words. Next year, he will invest 5.488 million US dollars at once. This is not a small amount, especially for an independent film company, the risk is extremely high.

"Is the money in the company's account and the money that has not yet arrived enough?" Chen Hao asked with a frown.

"The company's account is only 2.653 million US dollars now, and the difference from the budget is 2.835 million US dollars. The gap is a bit big. Now it depends on the North American and global box office of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon".

If the North American box office reaches 3 million and the overseas box office reaches 4 million, then it should be about the same.

The 5.488 million US dollars is not all taken out at once. You can take out part of it first, and then wait for the box office share of "Twilight Saga 2: New Moon" to arrive.

In addition, if Marvel Entertainment and Future 3D can allocate part of the funds, then it should be enough! said Smart.

Chen Hao was relieved when he heard the words. He was very satisfied with not letting Chen Hao inject capital into Tianchi Films even though the total investment was as high as 5.488 million US dollars.

"Benjamin, let's talk about the future 3D!" Chen Hao said directly.

Hearing this, Benjamin said, "In 3, the 2009D movie projection system developed by the company sold a total of 240 sets of projection equipment, a year-on-year increase of 53.84%.

Among them, 158 sets were sold to mainland China, and 82 sets were sold in the United States.

每套3D放映设备的售价是15万美元，而我们的利润空间是6万美元，也就是说公司2009年一整年的销售额为3600万美元。

The profit was $1440 million, and after taxes, the net profit was $1296 million! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Most of the sales in the mainland should be orders from theaters under Huaying and Polyburner.

After all, last year Haotian’s theaters completed equipment upgrades, and just as “Avatar” is about to be released, it will be even more beneficial for the Four Seas Haotian Cinemas to win the box office championship this year and next year.

Speaking of which, Huaying and Berna should also thank themselves.

Thinking of the 3D frenzy brought about by "Avatar", Chen Hao couldn't help but smile. When "Avatar" sweeps the world, the demand for 3D equipment in major theaters is likely to be in short supply.

And the future 3D companies that already have their own 3D projection system can just take the opportunity to make a fortune. I believe that the sales in the next few years will maintain a high-speed growth trend.

"The current growth rate of theaters in the mainland is increasing every year, and there should be a steady demand in recent years." Chen Hao said, "The other key is to open up the American market, after all, the number of large screens in the United States is the largest in the world.

And soon the opportunity will come! "

Benjamin heard the words, "Cameron's "Avatar" you mentioned last year?"

"That's right, it's Cameron's "Avatar"!" Chen Hao affirmed.

Benjamin frowned when he heard this, "I hope so, the movie will be released next week, and we will see the outcome soon.

In addition, last year we discussed finding an OEM factory in the Mainland. After our research, if we hand over the processing to an OEM factory in the Mainland, we will save a lot of money in terms of labor costs, transportation, and customs duties.

We have reached a preliminary agreement with a factory in the Mainland. According to the agreed budget, we can increase the income of each set of 3D projection equipment by US$1.5, which means that the profit of a set of equipment is US$7.5. "

Chen Hao heard the words, "Since the research has been done, let's do it like this!"

"What's more, the company is still working on the research and development of giant screen projection technology, and has made a breakthrough. It should be able to conduct a trial by the end of the year. If it is qualified, it will be put into production and use next year at the latest." Benjamin said.

Chen Hao nodded happily after hearing this, "Very good, well done!"

The most extreme viewing experience in the cinema is definitely the IMAX giant screen, which is more hearty than 3D, and the ticket price is also more expensive.

"I'll talk about the rewards later, okay, Kevin, let's talk about Marvel Entertainment!" Chen Hao said.

Kevin Fitch glanced at Smart when he heard the words, and then said, "Marvel Entertainment's revenue basically comes from copyright revenue, and the biggest revenue this year comes from "X-Men Story: Wolverine".

The share of this movie plus other copyright income, Marvel's total annual revenue is 2300 million US dollars. After deducting taxes and wages and other expenses, Marvel's 2009 net profit is 2050 million US dollars! "

"Okay, thank you three and everyone for your hard work this year, hard work!" Chen Hao said, "In this way, Marvel Entertainment's net profit this year will be handed over to the parent company."

Seeing that Chen Hao and Smart were staring at him, Kevin Fitch immediately nodded and said, "No problem!"

Obviously, Kevin Feige also knew that the company's situation was entirely caused by the heavy burden of "Marvel Entertainment", so he readily agreed.

Anyway, the place where Marvel Entertainment spends money is salary and other places. The film shooting is done by Quantianchi Films, and there are royalties. Marvel Entertainment has enough money to be self-sufficient.

As for the future of 3D, Chen Hao does not plan to draw blood, because it still needs money to invest in the production and sales of 3D equipment, and the scale may become larger and larger in the next few years, and the funds will definitely not be withdrawn.

"Notify me in time when the global box office of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" comes out, and if there is insufficient funds, please contact me immediately, and I will provide a sum of money to the company as soon as possible.

The normal shooting of the film cannot be delayed, let alone affect the normal operation of the company. " Chen Hao said.

"Okay, I will contact you as soon as possible." Smart nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, thank you again for your hard work this year. This is a reward for you." After finishing speaking, Chen Hao took out three checks and handed them to the three.

Smart, Benjamin, and Kevin Feige all smiled and took it directly.

Afterwards, Chen Hao took out another check and handed it to Smart, "It's the end of the year, let's take everyone to relax, I still have to prepare a new film, I have to hurry back to China, so I won't participate."

"Happy to help!" Smart flipped the check and smiled after taking it.

After the meeting, Chen Hao left Liangtianru Films directly, returned to the villa in Beverly Hills to meet Xiaoying and Sister Shi, and then went to the airport together and returned to China.
