Chapter 228 The goal of 1.5 billion!(2/2)
400 million yuan of funds cannot be compared with large companies, but it is more than enough for small companies. After all, many film and television companies only rely on distribution to make money, while Miramax will concentrate on self-production and sales. This 400 million yuan seems to be a lot, but it is not very enough.
As long as two billion yuan productions are launched, the company's funds will be a little difficult, and the company's first production "The Queen of Prado", took on the important task of winning.
Christopher Nolan looked at the signing agreement seriously, and the above asked him to sign for ten years. Ten years later, he would receive a 3% stake in the company and receive a reward contract of $30 million and will automatically be extended to a lifetime contract.
His contract for ten years will be a ten-year contract of $50 million, and the film's profit will have a certain share of dividends.
Christopher Nolan will not help other companies shoot videos if the company does not agree in the next ten years. There are some other restrictions, but it is not much.
In terms of the entire contract, this contract is a pretty generous contract.
Christopher Nolan has not considered that far away as it is a lifetime contract. He looked at Chen Tian sitting in the front. He didn't know where Chen Tian got the confidence to give him such a contract.
For well-known directors, such a contract is obviously not outstanding enough and has too much binding. Almost no one will sign,.
But he is not a well-known director, but a director who has no film to shoot. Then such a contract is tempting enough.
Christopher Nolan didn't know that Chen Tian came from later generations. Chen Tian naturally knew how popular Christopher Nolan would be in the future. In just a few years, he became one of the super directors in Hollywood.
Every film directed by the director is a big hit and is a popular target for any film and television company. Chen Tian naturally hopes to tie him to Miramax Films.
Christopher Nolan thought for a while, picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract. From this moment on, Christopher Nolan was destined to enter the hearts of movie fans all over the world.
"Okay, Miramax's history has been thirty years, and the new Miramax will officially start his own journey. As a film and television company, all departments need to exist, and they also need to be in charge.
Yesterday our board of directors conducted a study and decided to lead the people in each part." Chen Tian glanced at everyone and looked at the documents in his hands.
"Chairman Justin Chen, Vice Chairman David Ellison, Chief Financial Officer Megan Ellison.
Executive President Harvey Weinstein, President of Dimen Pictures Bob Weinstein. Company Finance Manager Boone Duncan, Production Manager Eric Lomis, Distribution Manager Jon Gordon, Film Purchasing Manager Justin Chen, Props Manager Nance, Photography Manager Tim Suscher..."
In addition to the management staff, the old employees who followed Chen Tian will sign and write an agreement with Miramax, and this group of people will become the veterans of the new Miramax.
"Okay, here is our future work plan. Dimen Pictures' most important investment budget this year is $150 million. "Assassin League" will be directed by Justin Chen. "New Batman" will be jointly invested and produced with Warner Bros., and directed by Christopher Nolan.
Of course, this premise is that Christopher's script can impress Warner Brothers. If it cannot be impressed, then the shooting plan will be cancelled. Christopher, do you think your script can work?" Chen Tian asked with a smile.
Christopher Nolan didn't expect Chen Tian to mention it directly. You should know that Batman is a heavyweight film. He thought about writing the script himself, but he didn't dare to direct it himself.
"Don't you have confidence?"
"No, I have confidence!" Christopher Nolan reacted and replied immediately.
"James Win directed the American version of "The Curse", which was purchased from Japan. The company will cooperate with the TV station to invest in the TV series "Prison Break" and "Ecarly", and Justin Chen will be responsible for directing "Prison Break".
Dimen Pictures will produce and release "City of Sin", directed by Quentin Tarantino, with an investment of $100 million."
Chen Tian’s words were not loud, but they were attractive enough to everyone here. No one wanted to join a mediocre company. Miramax had enough work plans just now, which was enough to show a lot of things.
"The above are our own investment projects, and the following will be the video "The Queen of Prada" that we purchased and released by us.
, "Heart Fallen Fell", "Maria", "The Great Man Napoleon"..."
As Chen Tian finished speaking, Megan Ellison spoke out. As the company's chief financial officer, she will control every expense and investment in the company in the future.
"We are just starting out. With 400 million yuan in funds, all investments this year come from US$400 million. Our goal is to achieve revenue of US$1.5 billion and profit of US$500 million this year.
If this goal is achieved, the year-end conference will be a conference where we are here and every employee of the company will receive more dividends.”
1.5 billion revenue?
Such a number is a small amount for giant companies. Warner Bros., which ranked first in revenue last year, was nearly $10 billion, but for a small company, such a number is a large amount. (To be continued...)
