Chapter 143 Preparing for "People on the Journey"

(PS: Lao Zhong rolled 360 degrees in situ, begging for a subscription.)
"Boss, these are the current financial situation of our company! Take a look."

Chen Xi doesn't like being called Mr. Chen, but if it's inside the company, it's not appropriate for anyone to call him Director Chen.

Therefore, Yue Tong and his group of people who entered the company through poaching and so on, and what they were doing had nothing to do with movies, all called Chen Xi as their leader.

This is also a more appropriate name, which avoids many things.

Chen Xi finished the financial statement, feeling a little heavy in her heart.

Lack of money!He is really short of money!

Looking at it now, his heart is even heavier.

The funding for "Deep Space Film and Television" came mainly from two aspects: the profit from "Latent" and the copyright of "If You Are the One".

The profit from "Latent" plus the copyright of "If You Are the One" allowed the company to own 4000 million yuan at that time, and now after adding the profit share from "Frontier Wind and Cloud", theoretically speaking, the company should have 5500 million yuan as financial support.

However, the money was spent a lot.

For works such as "Frontier", "Raid", and "Advance to the Olympics", the method they adopted is that the investment in the film or program itself, even if it is included in the income of the film, is not included in the company's daily income. within expenses.

All the investment in "Frontier" has already been calculated, so the current investment in film and television works is mainly in "Raid" and "Advance to the Olympics".

So far, "Raid" has invested 508 million yuan in investment, and this money is turning into many details during filming, which are gradually emerging.

"Olympic Forward" has so far spent 374 million RMB on venue fees, equipment, talents and many other aspects.

This investment sounds a little unbelievable... But it is actually true. The integration and remodeling of the entire site will cost more money, and it will also come from Jiangnan Station, but it needs to be paid by Chen Xi and the others. Those who pay...

In short, the whole thing is full of... Chen Xi commented as extravagant.

"It's too extravagant! Why did you spend so much money!"

Chen Xi was indignant.

"cough!"

Yue Tong coughed dryly, and reminded Chen Xi from the side: "Boss, what we are doing now is what you said, and the quality must be guaranteed."

"You don't understand if you don't do this kind of work." Chen Xi herself was also discouraged: "But what should be spent still has to be spent, so let's do it for now!"

Now, the two projects "Raid" and "Olympic Rush" have cost Chen Xi nearly 900 million, and the company's working capital should be more than 4000 million.

However, the company's daily expenses!
This aspect is also the big head!

Every month, the company's normal expenses will be 20 to 30, and some months will exceed 50.

In terms of company expenses, from its establishment to the present, the company has spent 870 million funds. These things make people feel helpless, but you have to do it.

In this way, the company now has 3736 million funds on its books, but 1000 million will be left as the promotional expenses after "Raid", and 500 million will be left as follow-up funds for "Olympic Rush" , Of course, about 500 million is also needed to deal with the company's emergencies.

Counting like this...

The money they can use is only 1736 million left!

1736 million yuan... This is a relatively dangerous figure.

That's why Chen Xi said that the money is not enough.

The investment in any movie will eat up more than 1000 million yuan.

In fact, the profitability of "Deep Space Film and Television" so far is quite good, and it only earns more than 1000 million by virtue of the film, which is enough to make many film and television companies envious.

Many film companies, in fact, it is difficult to make too much money just relying on film projects, especially big companies... After all, they make a lot of money, but they also lose a lot.

Let's say that Guangxian Media, which has repeatedly produced miracle movies in later generations, has released super hit movies like "Lost in Thailand", but their books are still not very good.

Many big film companies want to make money, but in the end they still put people first: return to the stars!Use movies and TV shows to support these people, and then earn brokerage fees, as if the movie theater does not make money in the end by showing movies, but in the retail of small commodities around it and the rental and sale of shops...

These are some of the chaos in the film industry, and they are also some unavoidable phenomena.

It is really rare for a company like "Deep Space Film and Television" that can still make pure movie profits.

However, the film company has just started to develop after all, and it is not easy to accumulate funds. Compared with what Chen Xi wants to do, the current 1000 million yuan is really too little.

For example, if he wants to make a slightly medium-budget movie, the 1000 million yuan is not enough... let alone a commercial blockbuster!But the problem is that he is running out of time now, and if he doesn't realize some things in his head as soon as possible, then time will wait for no one.

And those ideas, any one of them, may invest hundreds of millions. If you don't invest less than that, you won't be able to produce the quality of the original version. Even if you want a high imitation, you won't have the temperament of a high imitation...

Therefore, for Chen Xi now, his money is really far from enough, and he still has many, many things that are short of him.

"The road is long and long!" Chen Xi finally used this sentence as the ending of this divergent thinking.

Then, Chen Xi said to Yue Tong: "Sister Tong, let's free up about 800 million yuan in our company account now... I plan to set up a movie project, and the filming may start around November!"

"what?"

Yue Tong was surprised immediately when he heard this, and said, "Boss, aren't we filming "The Raid" now? Why is there a new film project now? Besides, why have I never accepted this matter?" To the wind? Now there are only two months left... Really rushed!"

Yue Tong's words made Chen Xi ponder.

Sometimes I really didn't say hello in advance, and I felt like I thought about it as soon as I came out. This kind of thing may not be so obvious when I apply it to myself, but if I apply it to the whole company, it will easily cause problems.

Therefore, Chen Xi said: "I want to apologize to you on this matter. In fact, everyone knew about my film project when the company was first established, especially Ou Yangzhi and Ye Dongnan. , because of the filming of "Frontier Storm" and "Raid", I haven't mentioned it again, and now the company's accounts are not rich, but it is still ample, so I plan to shoot this movie first."

Yue Tong frowned while listening to Chen Xi's explanation.

After a long time, she shook her head slightly at Chen Xi: "Boss, you don't need to apologize, after all, you founded this company... I just think that if we spread too much all of a sudden, wouldn't it be too hasty? What's more, there are more people looking for our company to invest in projects now, and we will definitely invest a lot of the money when the time comes, can we find other companies to share the cost together?"

What Yue Tong said was a big problem.

One hero and three helpers...

Chen Xi also understands this truth...

Many movies, even if the investment is not high, are jointly produced by several film companies.

Therefore, after the success of "Frontier Wind and Cloud", many companies, especially Huayi, which has worked with them before, have already put down their words for "Deep Space Film and Television": If there are movies in the future, they must tell them, At that time, they will also invest together.

It wasn't just the Huayi family that sent similar things...the same goes for Chengtian and the like. Many times, everyone was like a shark that smelled fishy, ​​and would immediately pounce on it.

Many film companies jointly produce in this way. Unless they are enemies, they are more willing to drag a large group of younger brothers behind them...

But now Chen Xi really doesn't want to be like them, because he has done a lot of things in advance. Because he has the advantage of foresight, he knows exactly which movies can be sold well. Absolutely do not want others to share a piece of the action.

This is also human nature, truly selfless, and there are really not many people who want to pull others to make a fortune together.

In the book "Raid", Hua Yi wanted to participate in the investment very much before. After Chen Xi showed them the script, these people were frightened and stopped this plan, because this kind of script and the mainland market should be very popular. insulated...

So now Yue Tong said this.

Chen Xi also knows that if he wants to hang out in this circle, he has to be too unsociable, so if he has some relatively large-scale investment projects with high risks, he will ask everyone if they want to work together... If it is some Basically, the plans that can save capital and make a little bit of money can also attract everyone, but some of the things that are too explosive should be exclusively owned by "Deep Space Film and Television"!

Others brought in other film companies to invest together in order to save costs and hope to share the risks together, but Chen Xi brought in other film companies to invest together... It was just to complete a human task.

At the moment, Chen Xi said: "This book will be very marketable, but we have a tight schedule for shooting, so we won't involve other companies... It's enough for us to do this project by ourselves. As for the stall...you I also said that our company will also participate in the investment of many film and television projects, and these are also stalls!"

Hearing this, Yue Tong also knew that Chen Xi had made up his mind. She knew that Chen Xi was a director with his own ideas. If he really made up his mind, it would be useless to say more.

At the moment, she spread her hands: "Okay, I can do the things on the books, and I will tell you when it is done."

"sorry to bother you!"

"It's a matter of time!"

After Yue Tong left, Chen Xi started calling Ye Siwei, telling her to spare some time to communicate with Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, because he was going to film "On the Journey"!
