China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

1 month 31 number.

Eight days before New Year's Eve, Liu Qianqian happily called and said that "Legend of Sword and Sword" had been broadcast.

Lu Pingan asked cooperatively: "Which channel, watch it now."

As a result, Liu Qianqian replied very embarrassedly: "It's a local station, one is from the mountain city, and the other is from the magic city."

"Sword 1" is the same as the original time and space, because it is a problem of game adaptation, it cannot be launched temporarily, and it will have to wait until 08 to officially launch.

But even so, it still can't stop "Sword 1" from exploding in the future.

It's just that Liu Qianqian doesn't know that she will really become popular all over the country because of "Ling'er", and the rest of the people can't imagine that such a drama that failed to make it to the stars will become a memory of a generation.

"Brother Ping An, they said that TV dramas are likely to be banned."

On the phone, Liu Qianqian was a little worried.

Lu Pingan comforted: "Don't think about it, maybe you will become popular in a few days."

"If you become popular, you have to be busy again."

"Then it's still banned."

"No, by the way, Daju is in heat."

"Then breed it."

"If you can't find a suitable partner, you will be born in a string."

"Then eunuch."

"Brother Ping An, you are so cruel"

I chatted with Liu Qianqian, who was suffering from boredom during filming, or simply looking for topics for nothing, on the phone for ten minutes, and agreed that Lu Pingan would continue the year-end financial liquidation summary after the fourth day of the lunar new year.

For Lu Ping An, 2004 was a year of spending a lot of money and making a lot of money.

This year, he spent nearly a billion dollars just to buy an 11.5% stake in Penguin.

The average price is about 4.5 Hong Kong dollars to buy penguins one after another. The total cost is 9.6 million yuan. The current stock price is still more than 9 yuan, but Lu Pingan knows that the price of penguins will start to rise this year. , soaring all the way.

In addition to Penguin, there are about 5 million yuan in other potential Internet stocks such as Netease. In the future, they will also give Lu Pingan the same confidence as Penguin.

This is a great confidence.

With them, Lu Pingan basically doesn't have to worry about doing other things.

After spending so much money, plus "Batman" expenditures and reserved publicity funds, the total is 9000 million US dollars.

These two items basically spent the 2.6 million US dollars earned from NetEase before.

Fortunately, Lu Pingan has other income.

The box office profits of several low-budget films here at Summit are considerable.

Three small-budget films brought it nearly $1.5 million in revenue.

After the remaining part was transferred back to China, it was basically spent in one year.

In 04, Burger King opened 106 new self-operated stores, all of which had property rights, and the total cost was close to 6000 million RMB.

The 103 movie theaters also have property rights, and the total cost is close to 3 million.

These two valuations are not counted, they are all false, and Lu Pingan will not look at them for the time being.

There is also 5 million reserved for building buildings in Beijing.

Nearly a billion again.

Fortunately, the actual use of funds is not like this, but with the help of loans.

There are loans for fried chicken restaurants, movie theaters, and building construction.

It's just that the loan ratio is huge, and in the eyes of ordinary people, Lu Pingan is playing with fire.

The next Evergrande belongs to Yes.

However, Ping An calculated that as long as domestic housing prices continue to rise as in the original time and space, within five years, these problems will not be a problem.

This is the dividend of the times, and it is also the biggest reliance on Ping An's boldness.

Another reliance is the continued boom in the film market.

According to the financial report in 04, one summer file plus one Lunar New Year file, the first 3 cinemas that are the first to enjoy the 42D bonus will be able to fully recoup their costs without waiting for the 05 summer file!

The money earned can continue to expand.

Anyway, for things like real estate, even if you are still buying and buying in 2015, it is no problem.

The real estate dividend cycle is plentiful, as long as a single project is done independently, and there is no need to fix other moths, the problem is not big.

After calculating the expenses, the next step is the income.

Star's income in the Mainland this year is also very considerable.

In terms of movies, just for the movie "Wonderful Night", the box office share, copyright income, peripheral income and other items add up to 2.3 million.

There are also "Hunger Platform" and "Day of Death".

The income of the two films in the mainland is not much, but they add up to about 3000 million.

In addition, IMAX also received two orders, "Kung Fu" and "Seven Swords", with an income of 3000 million.

A total of about 2.9 million funds are lying on the account.

With [-]-[-] million in the account, Lu Pingan can now say that he is the best film and television company in the country.

"not bad."

After reading the financial report handed over by Xiang Guoqiang, Lu Pingan nodded calmly.

Not counting the valuation, the actual assets are about 30 billion.

Okay.

After reviewing the previous report card, the next step is what to do in the future.

There are still many places to spend money in the future.

Some miscellaneous items are indispensable.

For example, various expenses such as buying a house, paying wages, renting, purchasing equipment, etc., are nearly [-] million a year.

For example, several projects that will be launched in 05: "Painted Skin" and "Initial D".

Calculated by retaining half of the share, after leaving funds for these two, Xingchen can still leave about 2 million in its account.

The money was used for various investments such as "Soldier Assault", "Crazy Stone" and "Blue Red", and the total sum was only 2500 million.

The rest is enough to fully support "Pacific Rim".

These projects will create more income for him in the future.

The future of the stars is bright.

However, Xingchen will also encounter the problem of shortage of funds in the future.

Because there are still some projects that cannot generate income quickly and need to be invested.

For example, the talents and film industry plans that Lu Pingan will develop next.

"Pacific Rim" has been in preparation for about a month, and many problems have been exposed.

Fortunately, the process of solving these problems is actually the process of establishing our own industrial system.

It costs a lot of money, a lot of money. For example, the cost of a top-level studio alone can collapse domestic production companies.

A top-level studio that integrates a series of systems such as servers, shooting, tracking, screens, lighting, audio, and motion capture.

Not to mention self-developed products, even importing them will cost a lot of money.

Just a camera, expensive can be beyond imagination.

Ping An's budget is [-] million.

Including buying land, purchasing equipment, cultivating and recruiting teams, building your own system, etc.

As a result, the production cost of "Pacific Rim" has skyrocketed.

And in the end, [-] million may not be enough.

But there is no way, this must be paid.

Fortunately, the money spent can be used for many years in the future.

And it is uncertain when the system will give rewards in this regard again, and the cost will be saved a lot.

For example, "X", the split software can become the core special effects and animation auxiliary software of Xingchen.

With it or without it, it is not a question of money or not, but a question of whether it will be stuck.

Now, Xingchen has its own core special effects software. Even if it is a castrated version, it is the only one in the country. Don’t worry about foreigners making you troubles. .

In addition to this, there is also photography technology, which is also a core competitiveness.

With these, although the rest still has to rely on imports, the costs in all aspects have been greatly reduced.

Lu Ping'an couldn't help but look at the system, looking forward to the future "puzzle pieces" from the system.

In addition to the construction of an industrial system that requires a large investment.

In addition, there are projects that do not make money.

Like charity.

There is also a project that Jiang Wen had agreed to earlier.

Thinking of this, Lu Pingan couldn't help thinking that he and Jiang Wen seemed to have lost contact for almost a year.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Wen called: "Where is it?"

"In the company."

"Let's stay at the old place, busy or not, I'll come here now."

"Row."

Here comes the money.

It's okay, with a loss of 2000 million, you can get a blockbuster movie in the future, which is still a good deal.

But now it does have to be given.

So after all the calculations, Lu Ping'an thinks that depending on the situation next year, if there is a shortage of funds and he doesn't want to embezzle funds from other industries, he can make a few more movies with small costs and high profits.

Anyway, this is his old profession, and there are so many films to be collected.

Do not squeeze white do not squeeze.

Money is still very important. (end of this chapter)
