Chapter 251 Delayed Settlement
"It's about the sharing of the movie "Those Years"!"
Divided?
Chu Shi felt nervous and thought that it wasn't the producer who planned to pay the bill, right? But on the surface, he asked softly, "What's the specific situation?"
The surface is quiet, but the heart is full of worry.
It is rumored that Chu Shi has a ten-digit net worth, and this is true. If the copyrights of the two programs "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Voice of China" were sold, as well as the shares of Ice World Entertainment Company in hand, plus the entire income of the TV series "The Heirs", Chu Shi's net worth can easily break through the ten-digit mark.
But in fact, Chu Shi does not have much working capital!
"Where Are We Going, Dad?" shares were exchanged for shares of Ice World Entertainment Company. Chu Shi only occupied only 20% of them. Not many of them were obtained during the settlement of the first season. Although the share of Ice World Entertainment Company was quite large, the company was in the early stage of development and was invested all to develop the company. This was the common decision between Chu Shi and Fan Bingling.
Otherwise, it would definitely not have been possible to develop like this!
The TV series production department is in its early stages of development, but it already has a complete production team. With the success of "Rouge Snow", Fan Bingling will inevitably expand this department.
The variety show production department has strong funds. Even though it has raised the two production teams of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Voice of China", another team has freed to use Chu Shi to produce the third variety show, but it has sufficient funds.
After all, "Where Are We Going, Dad" has huge benefits.
But now, Chu Shi has dug up eight variety shows from Tang Dynasty Entertainment, and has to support the production team of these variety shows. All the savings have been exhausted. And if these eight variety shows want to make money, it will take at least a year later. A year later, the Ice World Entertainment Company is still in a booming stage. It is good not to invest money in Chu Shi and Fan Bingling, and it is impossible to make money.
After all, both Chu Shi and Fan Bingling pay more attention to the company's development rather than immediate interests. In this way, although there is not much cash, the company's value is constantly rising, and the two's fixed assets are also constantly growing.
In addition to "Where Are We Going, Dad", the income of the two works "Voice of China" and "The Heirs" has not yet been settled. Chu Shi's wealth is mainly the hundreds of millions of income brought to him by the movie version of "Where Are We Going, Dad".
In addition, there are US$6 million and £2 million brought to him by "Voice of the Netherlands", "Voice of the United States" and "Voice of the United Kingdom". In other words, more than 60 million in funds were invested by Chu Shi in the TV series "The Heirs".
And this is still insufficient! After all, the investment required for the TV series "The Heirs" calculated by Miyazaki is about 90 million. It is precisely because of this that after getting the share of the movie version of "Where Are We Going, Dad", Chu Shi invested another 30 million in the crew of the TV series "The Heirs".
At the same time, Chu Shi spent 60 million in exchange for 49% of the shares of the entire Ice World Entertainment Company, Chu Shi only had about 50 million left in the working capital. Next, he had to create his own TV series production company, which could only be said to be barely enough.
Although the rumors outside are that Chu Shi is so rich, it is actually true that Chu Shi really doesn’t have much money in his pocket, and the cash assets of any first-tier star are probably richer than Chu Shi.
"It feels so uncomfortable to have no money in my pocket. I am also counting on the settlement of the movie "Those Years". It can make me earn a lot of pocket money, but now it seems that I may disappoint me again!"
Deliberately ignoring Chu Shi's wrinkled face, Zhao Qingwei said with a little guilty tone, "Recently, there was something wrong with the relationship between Hurricane Entertainment and their long-term video website, and the financial situation was also a bit tight, so I contacted me before through my master Feng Daran, hoping to delay the settlement of the box office revenue of the movie "Those Years" for a period of time."
"You also know that Feng Daran is my respected teacher. In the future, whether I am an independent filmmaker, whether I make independent films or create my own studio, I have to rely on Hurricane Entertainment in many aspects, so... I have no choice but to agree."
"Delivery settlement? Have you said how long it will be delayed?"
"Two months!"
Zhao Qingwei directly stretched out her two fingers, "The movie will be released in theaters for 50 days, and the video website will be charged on-demand for two months. Hurricane Entertainment has promised me that it will be completely settled for us only when the income from the movie "Those Years" broadcast on the video website is all due to the receipts of all the money that will be received!"
"Removal in two months?"
Chu Shi hesitated for a moment and understood the other party's thoughts.
Feng Daran is the major shareholder of Hurricane Entertainment, the first director, and is like a mainstay. Just like Chu Shi, a variety show producer in Ice World Entertainment Company, there are many people in the company. Feng Daran knows what happened.
Such a thing happened. As a close teacher-student relationship, Feng Daran would not deceive Zhao Qingwei. Chu Shi Chu Shi believed that Hurricane Entertainment really encountered some trouble.
It may be because it is a website that has been working with the former video, or it may be financial, and it has little to do with Chu Shi, so there is no need to go into it.
In short, Hurricane Entertainment will not be able to provide such a huge amount of funds for a while. It can only wait until all the online on-demand income is received, and then settle the funds for Zhao Qingwei.
"It's really unreasonable to postpone the settlement, but I have agreed and just give my sister a face, how about it?"
"If it weren't for Sister Wei, I would still be playing with variety shows. I want to change to an actor and I don't know when I will wait. I can't give others' face, but I can't give Sister Wei's face?"
Chu Shi agreed without hesitation. The pleasure he said was indeed for Zhao Qingwei's sake, but his heart was bleeding.
I'm going to live another two months of poor life!
It seems glorious, but Chu Shi is almost penniless in his life. He hopes to get such a large sum of money and spend it well. He has already made plans to buy a house and a luxury car, but he did not expect that it will be postponed for a while, and even in this process, he will lose a lot!
The results of the movie "Those Years" were not very good on the premiere day, with a box office of only 6.3 million yuan. From this perspective, the ultimate benefit of this movie will not be too great.
But after that, the movie "Those Years" has achieved box office results steadily with its excellent quality, and it achieved a box office of 7.5 million on the second day, 11 million on the third day, 14 million on the fourth day, and 17 million on the fifth day...
In just five days, it achieved a horrifying box office record of 56 million. In this era when the small-cost movie can only earn more than 100 million yuan at most, it is already a monster. Everyone predicts that this movie will become the benchmark for small-cost movies in 2009!
All producers of the movie "Those Years" will make a big profit because of this movie!
Of course, although the box office growth of the movie "Those Years" was extremely terrifying in the first five days, on the fifth day, when the single-day box office scored 17 million, the potential of this movie was almost reached its limit and there was no room for improvement. On the sixth day, after the single-day box office reached 18 million, it was no longer possible to break this record.
In the following time, the box office growth of the movie "Those Years" entered a relatively slow stage. Until the fifteenth day, when the movie was released for half a month, the box office performance reached a peak. The terrifying box office of 130 million yuan made all small-cost movies jealous, and even many large-cost movies were extremely helpless - this was already a box office achievement that only large-cost movies could achieve, but this was only half a month's result of the movie "Those Years".
After that, there is still one month and five days to release - no one will worry, suspecting that the movie "Those Years" was downgraded in advance because of poor results.
This is true. Although it is a movie with a small investment, the attendance rate of the movie "Those Years" is actually lower than that of many "blockbusters". This is an excellent work that tells youth that can easily evoke people's memories. After watching it, many people will choose to go to the cinema to watch it for the second time, or even call friends and old classmates to watch it together for the third and fourth time, just to evoke the deepest memories in their hearts.
This also led to the box office results in the 35 days after the movie "Those Years" were even higher than the first fifteen days!
You should know that under normal circumstances, the box office results of a movie should be the same as the last thirty-five days. Even the subsequent box office growth of popcorn movies with slightly poor quality is not strong, and the results of the thirty-five days are not as good as the previous thirty-five days.
But the movie "Those Years" is different. Although the subsequent growth is still not much, it is much higher than the previous fifteen days. It also proves from the side that this is really an excellent film!
In the first fifteen days, the box office was 130 million, and in the next thirty-five days, the movie "Those Years" even achieved a horrible box office of 160 million.
The total movie release time was 50 days, and he was crazily rewarded with a horrible box office of 290 million. Although it was a pity that he could only squeeze into a box office of 300 million, it was still quite dazzling. I believe that he could be ranked among the top in the movie box office rankings throughout 2009.
Otherwise, it would not be possible that everyone would be smiling at the celebration banquet of the movie "Those Years", and Liu Yushi and others felt even more proud.
After all, such a terrifying box office result is a result of their desperate publicity. After making the best efforts, it has achieved gratifying results. Anyone will feel a strong sense of satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.
