Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 82 Acting as a film producer for the first time!

Since Zeng Li had his own ideas, Cao Jun didn't force it, so he walked up and sat next to Zeng Li, wanting to ask Zeng Li for a kiss.

Zeng Li pushed him away with a look of disgust, and said, "You haven't brushed your teeth yet, don't kiss me."

Cao Jun was helpless, but he could only be obedient and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After a while, Cao Jun came out of the bathroom, but he didn't see Zeng Li, but heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen.

Cao Jun came to the kitchen and saw that it was Zeng Li who was busy in front of the stove, so he walked up to her and hugged her from behind: "What breakfast do you cook for me?"

Zeng Li had heard Cao Jun's footsteps a long time ago, and replied with a smile, "I'll eat for you below."

"You eat noodles, do you want to put something?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and said, "Just put any egg in there."

"Okay, you go out first, I'll bring it to you when it's cooked."

"Thank you sister Li, um!" After finishing speaking, Cao Jun kissed Zeng Li on the cheek.

"Oh, you hate it. If you call me Limei again, I won't cook for you."

"Okay, okay, stop barking, I'll go out first."

After a while, Zeng Li brought a bowl of hot egg noodles from the kitchen.

Cao Jun took a sip, and felt that the taste was so-so, not to say it was delicious, but also to say that it was unpalatable, anyway, it was okay.

Zeng Li put his hands on his face, looked at Cao Jun expectantly, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Cao Jun replied with a smile: "It's delicious, it tastes great, that's what it tastes like!"

Zeng Li also knew that Cao Jun was deliberately teasing her, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's the same taste, so if I cook noodles, can I cook any different taste!"

Cao Jun nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, the noodles you cook taste like love."

Zeng Li looked at Cao Jun with eyes as if looking at an alien, and said dumbfoundingly, "When did you become so nasty?"

Cao Jun smiled and replied, "That's because you didn't know me well enough before."

After eating a bowl of noodles, Cao Jun's stomach was full, and he wanted to exercise to eliminate food.

Zeng Li didn't give him a chance, and even made tea for him.

Cao Jun drank a cup of hot tea, only to feel his eloquence linger, and said: "You can move to live with me in the future, don't live in an apartment anymore."

Zeng Li didn't agree, and asked back: "Haven't you heard that distance can produce beauty?"

"If we live together every day, it may not be long before you will bother me."

Since Zeng Li had already said so, Cao Jun didn't force it, and felt that it was better to let nature take its course.

After eating and drinking, Cao Jun dragged Zeng Li back to the room, and did not send Zeng Li back to the apartment until the sun went down.

For the next few days, Cao Jun didn't go anywhere, just waiting for Zeng Li to come to him when he was free.

Therefore, Cao Jun does three things every day, eats and sleeps every day.

Of course, Cao Jun's thoughts are not only on Zeng Li, he is still thinking about whether to invest in the movie "Crazy Stone".

From a commercial point of view, investing in a movie is actually earning a share of the movie theater’s box office because there are not many platforms and channel revenues yet.

First of all, 5% of the total box office of all films must be paid to the state as a special fund for the film industry, and secondly, a special business tax of 3.3% must be paid, which is directly deducted and paid by the theater from the total box office.

The above two items add up to 5% + 3.3% = 8.3%, which is called "non-separable box office".

The remaining 1 - 8.3% = 91.7% is the "dividable box office", also known as "net box office".Available: Net Box Office = (1 - 8.3%) x Total Box Office.

Then, Huaying Digital Film Development Co., Ltd., a wholly state-owned enterprise directly under the State Administration of Press and Publication, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huaguo Film Co., Ltd., will collect 1% to 3% of the net box office as distribution agency fees , referred to as "median agency fee".

This agency fee is paid by the theater chain to "Hua Guo Film Digital Company, but this account sharing stage only exists for blockbuster films, not small films.

Finally, in the remaining box office, that is, the net box office after deducting the "Huashu agency fee" (hereinafter represented by Δ), cinemas share 50%, theaters share 7%, and producers and distributors share 43%.

If the movie theater and theater chain are the same company, such as "Wanda" and "Jinyi", then it will exclusively enjoy this 57% (ie 50% + 7%).

If the producer and distributor were the same company, it would have exclusive access to the 43%.

Generally speaking, the distributor will agree with the producer to charge 5% to 15% of the above Δ as its distribution agency fee.

Then only 43% - 15% = 28% belong to the producer, that is, 28% of Δ belongs to the producer.

That is to say, if a film invests 300 million in production and earns 28 million at the box office, then, after dividing by seven and eight, the producer can deduct 2500% of the box office share, which is [-] million. around income.

If the final box office of this movie is only 3000 million, then the producer can also get about 800 million box office share.

Now the movie "Crazy Stone" has received an investment of 300 million. It must not be enough money to shoot. Even if it is really going to be shot, it will be very hard to shoot. It takes special care to make the movie well.

Moreover, for the producer, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" needs to get a box office of 900 million in order to be able to pay back.

However, Cao Jun has confidence in the box office of the movie "Crazy Stone". According to his knowledge, in his previous life, the final box office of this movie seemed to be around 2600 million.

If this movie can finally exceed 3000 million, as the producer, it can also earn a considerable amount of income.

After several days of careful consideration, Cao Jun finally decided to invest in the movie "Crazy Stone".

For Cao Jun, this is actually a new attempt. This is his first time investing in a movie as an investor.

Cao Jun has calculated that if he invests 200 million yuan, plus Andy Lau's 300 million yuan, to shoot the movie "Crazy Stone", as long as the box office of this movie can reach 2500 million yuan, after deducting the cost, he will probably be able to make money Around 200 million.

If this movie can be released next year, it will double the income a year, which is more cost-effective than real estate speculation, mainly because the cycle is short and fast enough.

So, Cao Jun told Ning Hao about his idea of ​​investing in the movie "Crazy Stone".

Cao Jun said straight to the point: "Brother Hao, it doesn't matter whether I act or not in your movie, let me tell you this, I want to invest in your movie, what do you think?"

Ning Hao asked him, "How much do you want to invest?"

Cao Jun said: "200 million, if you think it's not enough, I can add more."

Ning Hao was in a mixed mood, he wanted to accept Cao Jun's investment, but also worried that Andy Lau would not accept it.

Fortunately, after hearing the news, Andy Lau did not object to Ning Hao's acceptance of other people's investment, because he himself felt that 300 million yuan is indeed a bit small for a movie, so he agreed to this plan.

Ning Hao called and said to Cao Jun: "Xiao Cao, Mr. Andy Lau agreed, so you can invest 200 million, and there is no need to add more."

"However, I have something to say first. I am the director of this movie. I have the final say on how I make the film and who I find to make it. You can't interfere with me."

Cao Jun didn't bother to interfere, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not interfere. You can shoot whoever you like!"

With Cao Jun's 200 million investment, Ning Hao has no worries and continues to look for actors for the film.
