The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 145 Progress (Happy Valentine’s Day)

Cai Wenhu.

The name is both civil and military, and it sounds like this person is very aggressive, but very conservative.

Jin Ding is currently the CEO. He has not made any major mistakes in the past few years, but he has not had outstanding achievements. He is ranked among the stable ones in the Hangzhou circle.

Perhaps it is possible that I am afraid that I will make a wrong move, so I dare not let go and maintain stability and be conservative.

……

"Director Fang, why bother?"

At a leisure teahouse in Hangzhou, Cai Wenhu made an appointment with Fang Mo and got straight to the point, "It's not enough to settle in Junhong. Why should we worry about Jinding? It's a bit too much."

His emotions and anger are not fake, he is very calm.

However, Fang Mo knew that Cai Wenhu was not really calm in his heart, otherwise he would not have made an appointment.

"Mr. Cai's words are serious."

Fang Mo shrugged and smiled, "I just have the willingness to invest. It's okay if Jinding doesn't agree. I'm not forcing it at all. Is it wrong to invest?"

"What's the matter with Mr. Wang? I didn't make any plans. I just let it happen and saw the results."

"Oh, it's so clean."

Cai Wenhu was noncommittal, "The second kick exploded because someone lit the fuse. Director Fang separated the point fuse from the explosion independently, which was refreshing and refined."

"Jinding doesn't have any big ambitions. We don't compete in the high-end market, and we don't block anyone's way."

"Director Fang, this is too much."

Fang Mo took a sip of hot tea and said it was useless, "Shopping malls are like battlefields. Jinding is Jinding, but it is not yours alone, Mr. Cai. Is it wrong for other directors to seek greater development? Who doesn't want to make more money? To leave a name in the industry and make an achievement.”

"The big spring of the entertainment industry has come. If Jinding does not change, it will only fall behind in the end. The wheels of the smart Internet era cannot be stopped."

"I'm doing this for Jin Ding's own good."

Cai Wenhu remained noncommittal, "It seems that we can't reach an agreement. After all, Director Fang is an outsider. Even if he settles in Jinding with sincerity, it is obviously for the greater development of Jinding, but it also damages the interests of the other half. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. But what if we lose?"

"Jinding has Jinding's way of survival. Although it will not develop quickly if it is not radical, it is better than stability. From top to bottom, the income is considerable, and there is work and food to eat."

"Stability is the way to go."

This actually makes sense. How many companies have rashly developed aggressively and ended up collapsing themselves?

"Mr. Cai, I'm telling you the truth..."

Fang Mo pondered for a moment, "Even if I don't exist, there will be others. Stability is poison. If you encounter a big crisis, you will fall behind and collapse. There is no problem with Mr. Cai's unintentional development. He can be an honorary shareholder. Mr. Wang's development plan is mine. Look, it’s very organized.”

"And I can guarantee that with Junhong working together, Jinding will not develop too badly. Since Mr. Cai is seeking stability, why not just stay at home and win, being comfortable and making money without having to go to work, and travel with Pao Niu."

"It's better than checking in all the time."

……

Thoughts are something difficult to change.

Cai Wenhu wants stability, but he also wants to control power first and does not want to lose the president of Jinding. However, neither his personality nor his development plans are suitable for the future direction of Jinding, so the negotiation is bound to fail.

Wang Kangzhangming wins over other directors and middle management, whether it is to replace them or to split them, there will be a result if there is no turning back.

Fang Mo waited patiently for this result.

Wang Kang's offense and Cai Wenhu's defense still need to be in a stalemate to win over each other's votes before we can see the outcome, so we will put this aside for now and wait until there is a result.

Another starry sky animation section, under Liu Ting's organization, already has 20 people.

Starry Sky pays well, and there are still many animation talents who seek stability who are willing to surrender. Fang Mo also wants stability and is not radical. Liu Ting is a woman over thirty, and has passed the radical age group. She has experienced the scorching sun and ups and downs, and knows the importance of stability. ,no need to worry.

From now on, just keep producing the animated series of 'Bear Bears' and a theatrical version every year.

This series is a ten-year development plan.

As for Starry Sky's future production of other animated films, such as Journey to the West, Fengshen, White Snake and other mythological adaptations, it will naturally recruit new talents and will not be combined with the "Bear Out" series that Liu Ting is responsible for. Each will do its own thing.

Compared with personnel, the biggest investment in the Starry Sky Animation sector is actually equipment, and to maintain the forefront of production in the industry, equipment must be replaced frequently, so many studios rent equipment and then rent better upgraded versions after expiration. , how much can be saved.

Of course, you can also buy directly.

A piece of equipment can be used for at least three to five years. Not all lenses need to be precise, so a batch is usually kept and replaced every two to three years.

In total, it is more appropriate to buy. Leasing requires a lot of deposits, and you will find faults when replacing.

However, forget it if you don’t have sufficient funds. After all, team expansion, equipment addition, project production, etc. all require money. Relatively speaking, you don’t have to pay rent if you buy the Starry Sky Building yourself, and staff salaries, etc. are quite small. Except for individual management layer.

Xingkong has given Liu Ting and others a very good salary, not even at the internship level, and they don’t need a whiteboard to fill up their numbers. The lowest they have been in the animation industry is two or three years, and the most, like Liu Ting and others, are seven or eight years old, with the minimum salary starting at [-].

Of course, the workload will not be less.

Now Starry Sky has not officially started construction. The daily construction team still has to purchase and debug equipment. If you don't get bonuses, it will basically be at [-]. Fang Mo still has this money, let alone Crazy Racing's share, although not all of it has been paid. , but it’s also half way.

Half, just over 1 million, is very strong.

……

Crazy Racing, box office 10.3 billion.

5亿以下部分占比制片方分成的50%，5-8亿区间60%，8亿以上70%！

The first share of the producer's share is 1.75 million, but after deducting about 2500 in shooting and production costs, including publicity, the remaining net income is 1.5 million.

So Fang Mo’s first income was 7500 million, the second was 6300 million, and the third was 5600 million.

Even when we first started discussing this plan, we didn't expect that Crazy Racing could break 10 billion, but it also encountered opposition from the industry. The theoretical value was too scary.

Fang Mo took away the bulk of the box office profits.

However, producer Fang Junhong didn't say anything about what he was willing to give. In order to keep Fang Mo, the publisher's interests and ambitions would not be lost. Moreover, the markup on his own issued stock increased a lot, which was higher than the box office profit.

You know, a dollar increase in the stock price is a lot of money. As the main distributor, Hongtu, the release of two crazy movies has increased the stock price by nearly 10 billion. Although the value is value, there are also ways to make profits. Anyway, it will not be box office profits. Less, not much to say.

The release of a movie does not depend on the superficial box office profit and loss data, but must look at many sectors.

The early publicity was fierce, attracting a large number of investors to buy and support it. Even if the release fails to meet expectations, in fact, as long as it does not collapse, you will still make money, because a large amount of stock funds have been absorbed on the eve of the release. I really wait for the release to be a big hit before buying. Sorry. Can't buy it.

Let's get back to business, back to Fang Mo.

The release of Racing will end in August, and box office revenue will be settled quarterly, probably this December. However, some distribution companies want to pursue quarterly and annual financial reports, and all settlements will be postponed to next month. Fang Mo is not short of money for the time being, so that's OK. , can be trusted.

After all, Heart of the Road will be released at the end of January. If the box office share of Crazy Racing has not been settled before mid-January, theaters should not participate. Just stare.

This time I received 1 million, and I have been using the proceeds from the Crazy Racing webcast recently, so I have money.

Although you have to pay taxes and fees, as long as you have the money to pay them at the time of payment, it won't be a problem if you pay them.Therefore, with 1 million in hand, Fang Mo's pocket is completely strong, and nearly 1 million will arrive next month. There is no need to worry about running out of money for various investments, such as buying a house when it is time to buy a house, and purchasing equipment for starry sky animation.

Jinding invested no more than 3 million.

After Xingkong purchases equipment and recruits enough talents, it will cost about 2 million. The remaining 5 million will be used to buy a villa in Hangzhou, a high-end apartment in Kyoto, and villas and residences in Shanghai, so as not to fall behind.

Real estate investment is still very suitable at this stage, and it can at least double in the future, so whether it is full payment or loan, the price/performance ratio will be very good.

I had previously thought about finding a personal real estate assistant who would specialize in managing real estate investments under my name.

This Fang Mo is looking for, in progress.

……

"Mr. Fang, we made a discovery."

Qi Dong reported on the progress. She and a sister had been out investigating for a while. Although it was not confirmed whether Tan Xue was pregnant, today she found that Tan Xue was not exercising normally and was sweating a lot. This is good news and proves that she is not pregnant. Pregnant.

After all, if I were really pregnant, I would be almost a month and a half away now, so it would be impossible to exercise like this.

"Okay, keep watching."

Fang Mo replied on WeChat, looking at the photo of Tan Xue running sent by Qi Dong, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was not 100%, it was almost certain that she was not pregnant.

Let Qi Dong keep watching for a while to see if there are any new discoveries. There is no need to rush back for the time being.

"Well, I see."

Not surprisingly, Qin Zisu also received a report from Qi Dong later. This must be said, and the others are not necessary. From now on, Fang Mo will be solely responsible.

In fact, Qin Zisu had expected this result. After all, if she was really pregnant, she would have contacted her long ago.

No contact, it proves that you are not pregnant.

However, since Cui Yumin and Tan Xue have adopted this method, they will not give up easily. You must know that some women have all kinds of methods to marry into wealthy families.

There have been reports on the Internet that some cleaning staff stole the small umbrella that the male protagonist threw in the trash can.

She gets pregnant in an improper way, and after the child is born, she comes to her door asking for money and child support, which is very powerful.

There are also methods such as freezing male tadpoles in time, using in vitro test tubes, etc. It is usually just a joke and gossip, but it happens in the industry.

Famous and famous men usually have a sense of vigilance. If they are not vigilant, they will be cheated at any time.

The Tan Xue incident was actually due to Fang Mo not being vigilant enough. Even if he didn't know that Tan Xue and Cui Yumin were planning something, he still had to be prepared and take the risk if he was cheated.

Qin Zisu was aggrieved. Ten years of persistent waiting was already very aggrieved, and Tan Xue's time was even more aggrieved.

But, can we go back to the past?

"Are you still reconciled?"

Seeing Qin Zisu eating alone in the duplex residence in Xiting Biefu, Qin Hongluan shook his head lightly. The young couple had a estrangement in the last incident and it was difficult to handle.

It can't be said that Fang Mo is not broad-minded, any man will be depressed when he is treated like this by his elders.

"Busy, the starry sky is expanding."

Qin Zisu briefly explained, but this excuse was not convincing even to herself. Xingkong was busy with expansion, but not so busy that she didn’t even have time to have a meal together. It won't start until next month, so I have plenty of time now.

As for settling in Jinding, Fang Mo didn't need to worry about it. Once he came down, he just had to pay and sign the agreement. If he didn't come down, nothing would happen and he wouldn't manage it himself.

"How about I go talk to you?"

Seeing Qin Zisu's melancholy, Qin Hongluan pondered for a moment and then spoke. After all, she was also an elder, so Fang Mo would give her some face. The conflict with Grandpa Zisu would be discussed later, and there would eventually be a way to resolve it.

For example, if you get pregnant out of wedlock, you will get pregnant immediately.

Although the old man would be angry, the stubborn old man really wouldn’t agree to the stalemate, so that was all he could do.

……

"No, it's almost ready."

Qin Zisu shook his head. Fang Mo had already learned that Tan Xue was exercising normally and was most likely not pregnant. He would look for her after working for the past two days at most, so there was nothing to be anxious about. It was better than being patient.

Well, Bijuan has never lost.

"How is Ouyang Jun?"

While eating, Qin Zisu asked, "I heard that we have had dinner appointments several times. It seems that there is something going on."

"Alright."

Qin Hongluan was non-committal, "We are a good match, good looks and career. In fact, it's not bad. It's okay if we stay in Hangzhou completely in the future. Forget it if I go abroad in a few years. I won't immigrate."

"Actually, it's nice to be alone."

At the age of 36, Qin Hongluan actually does not have a strong desire for marriage, and she does not plan to have children. Qin Zisu and Fang Mo can provide for her in old age. Anyway, the increase in childbirth belongs to Qin Zisu, not to mention that she has wealth and freedom.

Although there are no billions and tens of billions in assets, they are at least over [-] million. There are five houses in Hangzhou and Junhong's equity, which is enough for retirement.

"Alone, alone."

Qin Zisu said silently, "I'm definitely going to take care of you, my aunt, but I have to have a companion by my side. It will be boring and boring to always perform at home and abroad."

"With a husband, it will be great for the couple to travel around the world in the future. They will be a couple of gods and gods."

"Tch, it's too late."

Qin Hongluan rolled his eyes. His assets were over [-] million, but his daily expenses were not low, and the cost for each performance was even more terrifying. This was not a poor trip.

Without Junhong's career support, he would not have been able to support the purchase of a house and its implementation, so he would have rested long ago.

Healthcare, education, insurance and more.

The more elite you are, the more you spend on various expenses, including personal connections, contacts, interest exchanges, etc. In short, you earn more every year, but you spend at least half of it.

With the support of the Qin family, it is actually quite a lot to have accumulated over [-] million yuan in assets in ten years. It is really impossible to rely on oneself.

When the predecessor of Junhong was founded, it was with the assistance of the Mu family and the Qin family, otherwise it would not have been successful.

Connections, funds, resources, etc.

"It's no longer possible."

Qin Zisu shrugged. Her aunt talked and went on a lot of blind dates. In the end, only two people got engaged, and both of them had their hair tied up. Ouyang Jun was not in trouble this time. One might go abroad if his career was unstable, and the other wouldn't get married. Having a child is an irreconcilable conflict.

Come on, live alone.
