Hong Kong Stubborn

There is actually a reason why Snow Country Cinemas officially opened after a delay of half a month.

In late October, Taiwan Yang Dengkui was arrested again in the police station. This time he was charged with operating an underground casino. If he was found guilty, he would be sentenced to prison again.

As a result, Luo Junyan has fallen into a major crisis. Without the backing of Taiwanese capital, the distribution of too many films as an agency is very likely to break the capital chain of Snow White Film Distribution Company in an instant.

After many discussions, it had to borrow the name of internal adjustments to rest the Snow Country Cinemas for half a month to win time for the Snow Knights release.

Through Qian Shouyi’s secret investigation, Yang Dengkui’s arrest was behind the actions of the Hong Kong entertainment circle and the Taiwan underworld. It is clear who participated in the investigation.

Fighting for interests is a life-and-death, and shopping malls are never tender. The involvement of Taiwanese capital in the Snow Knight Film Distribution Company has been discovered by others, and it would be tricky to switch to Luo Junyan.

At this time, various production companies from Xiangjiang flocked to the scene, and even large companies such as Yongsheng, Jiahe, and Golden Princess, which have their own distribution capabilities, also arrived. Without discussing additional conditions at all, he asked Hu Xin face to face, whether the release of Snow White Knight would accept the film?

The channels for Taiwanese capital to send funds have been temporarily blocked, and the play in the Hong Kong film circle is simple and rude. Either the Snow Knight’s distribution company’s capital chain is broken, or the spoiled distribution company’s reputation and credit go bankrupt, and there is no production company to find Snow Knight to distribute films.

Luo Junyan can use the excuse of internal adjustments after the trial operation of Xueguo Cinemas to delay for half a month, but after all, he wants to open the door to do business. Otherwise, the trust that the production company has accumulated in the Snow White Knight release will be cleared in an instant, and the Snow Country Cinemas line will also be in an embarrassing situation with no films to release.

Luo Junyan is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. A crisis is a chance, but it is just a big bet, so big that it can add a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars to the card. At the beginning of November, Snow White Knight released and started to take orders again, as long as all the decent film sources were eaten.

First of all, Luo Junyan wants to mobilize funds to supplement the fund pool of Snow Knight Film Distribution Company. The profits tax that needs to be paid at the end of the year can only be reconsidered at that time, and each company under its umbrella will have to live a tight life.

So through the parent company XJ International Entertainment Media, Snowman Century Entertainment transferred 30 million Hong Kong dollars in funds, and only 2 million Hong Kong dollars were left on the account.

Snowman Times Media also transferred 30 million Hong Kong dollars in funds, and the remaining more than 5 million remained in normal operations.

Snow Country Cinemas returned the loan principal and interest of 50 million Hong Kong dollars in advance to XJ International Entertainment Media, and transferred it to Snow Knights Publishing Company. The cinema has less than 6 million operating liquidity remaining.

Counting the more than 21 million Hong Kong dollars in the account of Snow Knight Film Distribution Company, the total liquidity in the fund pool has reached 131 million Hong Kong dollars. There is not much money that can be raised, and it will be sufficient in a short time.

Secondly, Luo Junyan must fish out Yang Dengkui as soon as possible and restore the blood transfusion channels of Taiwanese capital.

The Taiwan Golden Horse Awards in December is a good opportunity. Luo Junyan intends to rush to Taiwan for public relations immediately after the completion of "Sin City One: King of Ghosts". Except for him to write a guarantee on the spot, promising not to go to the mainland to film the conditions, others can sit down and discuss.

Finally, Luo Junyan has to calculate the income that individuals can get before the end of the year. In a critical moment, he can only borrow personally from the issuing company.

The rental income of the Snowman Times Building can be settled in early December. Due to the recovery of several sub-commercial properties for self-use, the rental income has dropped a lot, and it is expected to reach 24 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Yu Yuan" is cooperating with Chinese Real Estate, and it is agreed that dividends will be settled at the end of each year. It's been a long time since Luo Junyan paid attention to the operation of the "Yuyuan". He asked Huo Wenxi about the expected income, which shocked him.

According to Huo Wenxi's estimation, the net profit of the "Yu Yuan" in the first year can be close to 70 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is the net profit after paying the profits tax, which is equivalent to a net profit of more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars a day. The service and luxury goods industries that target the rich and celebrities are simply too profitable. Under this shady magpie bridge, there is a big river of gold flowing.

In fact, the geographical location of "Yuyuan" is an inherent advantage, and it is absolutely unique in Xiangjiang. According to Feng Shui, it is the location where Xiangjiang leads the sea. Regal Hong Kong believes in these things, which takes the lead in consumer psychology.

In addition, others are still on the sidelines for the time being. After all, it involves the entertainment industry, real estate, underworld and media, and the amount of investment is very large. At present, "Yu Yuan" is equivalent to doing a unique business.

Perhaps after two or three years, or even within a shorter period of time, other forces will see the huge profits of the "Yu Yuan" and will definitely squeeze in to compete with the "Yu Yuan". But at that time, Luo Junyan had already earned all his capital back, and he was more willing to spend money to compete directly.

At the beginning, "Yu Yuan" talked with luxury brands about cooperation rather than self-purchasing, saving a budget of 30 million Hong Kong dollars. This money has been lying on the account. Luo Junyan can use his own funds immediately.

Before the end of the year, Luo Junyan can also receive 35 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends from the "Yu Yuan", and Huo Wenxi can also receive 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars. With an annual salary of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, his annual income is 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Pack it.

Even if all calculations are based on the profitability of the first year, it will take less than 5 years to pay off the 150 million investment of Chinese Land. The remaining five years of operating income is Liu Luanxiong's net profit.

After transferring the 30 million idle funds in the Yuyuan Entertainment Company's account back to his own account, he felt a little relieved. Now the more bullets, the more secure he feels.

At the same time, sister army contacted a familiar bank in private to ask in advance how much loan can be obtained by mortgage Snowman Times Building? The answer is that up to 30% of the property valuation can be borrowed, and the mortgage of the Snowman Times Building can probably borrow a short-term loan of 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

But if it is not due, the bank has the right to dispose of the mortgaged property. In Xiangjiang, this is the way to play. 30% is quite a lot. Generally, only 20% of the valuation is used to borrow money, and the bank takes the right to dispose of the collateral in its hands.

Until this time, Luo Junyan was completely relieved. Since these big forces in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle want to burst his belly, let them see their appetite and see who can survive to the end.

Luo Junyan took the time to deal with the company's affairs. After sister army returned to work, his responsibilities were divided up again.

The shooting progress of "Sin City One: Fighter of Ghosts" was only slightly affected. It's just that Luo Junyan has high requirements for action design and doesn't use fancy moves, but different characters must have their own action characteristics, which will inevitably delay the shooting time.

The performances of Xiao Qiang and Yuan Jieying are still quite amazing. Luo Junyan thinks that apart from having a little princess disease, both of them are very qualified actors.

In the crew, Wang Xiaopang likes to chat with Xiao Qiang, Yuan Jieying likes to chase Luo Junyan to chat, and Luo Junyan is very interested in Oshima Yukari.

Oshima Yukari, a female artist who came to Hongjiang from Japan, has the courage to fight and has a good image and acting skills. And she doesn't care about any **** shots. Luo Junyan feels that Japanese and Korean artists should pay more attention to them in the future. They are professional or not, at least very professional.

Now when he comes home every day, Luo Junyan doesn't care about taking care of his daughter. Basically, he has to fall on the bed and groan when he enters the door. Sister Army has to give him a medicated massage every night. Seeing Luo Junyan's bruise all over her body, she can't wait to let him stop acting in movies and concentrate on being a director and boss.

Luo Junyan was very open, let's talk about Brother Long. She was still lying in the hospital, and her breastbone was cracked and displaced during the filming of "The Flying Eagle Project."

If you want to sell at the box office and make the company make money, but don't want to fight desperately, how can there be such a good thing in the world? I am already lucky enough, step by step on the point, there is one artist in the entertainment circle, which one has more money?

Sister Army really has no choice but to take him now. After having a daughter, Luo Junyan has become more assertive. And the company is indeed in a critical period. Stud showdown is possible at any time. It is really impossible to take a breath.

She can only tell Luo Junyan to be extra careful when on set. If the injury is more serious, you have to retreat, and you don't need to shoot the film. I would rather compensate others for the loss. Long brother is Long brother, and there is no need to compare.

Sister Army also told Luo Junyan that he transferred 10 million Hong Kong dollars to the island management company entrusted in the United States, which is almost 1.3 million US dollars. This is already the minimum annual expenditure for island management and maintenance. The other party only promises that "Qinghuan Island" can maintain the status quo, and it must be in the absence of special natural disasters.

At Christmas, Luo Junyan will lend "Qinghuan Island" to Brother Harvey for a week to host gatherings of American film circles and media professionals, to promote "This Killer Is Not So Cold". It is still very good to maintain it in advance. necessary.

Now he understands why those big bosses don't know how much money they have. The account is changing every moment when it comes in and out. It is impossible to know the exact amount. The big boss has no idea about money, but it is clear who has taken his money.

On November 28th, "Sin City One: Champion of Gods and Ghosts" finally came to an end. Luo Junyan specially invited all the crew members to have a big meal.

This film is not easy to shoot, and the sense of sight of fists and deadly moves can not be perfectly presented by fooling. If there were no other choices, Luo Junyan didn't want to shoot this kind of action movies. The simpler the action design, the more difficult the shooting.

The post-production of "Sin City One: King of Ghosts" was handed over to Wang Xiaopang. The theme song was "Who Accompany Me to Run" hummed by Brother Cheng. Luo Junyan asked Huang Jiaju to sing, and the copyright of the song was offset. reward.

In fact, Huang Jiaju will sing without compensation, no matter how popular the person is, now the members of Beyond are called Boss Luo Junyan when they meet.

The Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held on December 10, and he has to rush to Taiwan as soon as possible to run Yang Dengkui's affairs.

The hosts of the 27th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards are Huang Zhan and Zhang Xiaoyan. It was through Uncle Zhan that Luo Junyan got in touch with Zhang Xiaoyan. Zhang Xiaoyan is still very influential in Taiwan, and his personal connections are very deep. After Luo Junyan arrives in Taiwan, she will directly visit this sister Xiaoyan.

This time the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, "This Killer Is Not So Cold" won 6 nominations, and the number of nominations ranks behind "Rolling Red", "The Season of Love in a Foreign Country" and "Swordsman". But "This Killer Is Not So Cold" is definitely the hottest winner in various award nominations, after all, it has the gold-plated body of the French Cannes Jury Award.

On December 1, Luo Junyan arrived in Taiwan and had a cordial talk with Zhang Xiaoyan that night. The matter was clearly explained, and there was only one core purpose, and Yang Dengkui had to be fished out.

The next day, Zhang Xiaoyan gave Luo Junyan a reply. I don't know which Bodhisattva she worshipped. In short, the condition is that the Snow Knight Film Distribution Company can only cooperate with the other party's designated distribution company in the future to release films in Taiwan, and the other party will get 60% of the revenue, and the distribution cost is not responsible.

Luo Junyan didn't need to rush to reply. The other party gave him one month to consider and must make a decision before New Year's Day.

Snow Knights releases films in Taiwan, and the payback period is definitely more than one month, so an additional payment of 40% of the distribution income of Taiwan’s advance funds is required. If 60% of the remaining 60% is taken away, how much is left?

In other words, based on the calculation of 15% of the box office share of the issuance cost in the foreign market, if the other party's conditions are agreed, the Snow Knights issuing company can only get 2.7% of the box office in Taiwan and bear all the issuance costs.

Luo Junyan really needs to think about it this time. The other party is the empty glove White Wolf. Even if Snow White Knight distributes the manual equally, copying and screening management still need cost, right? Wouldn't it mean that if you play in Taiwan for nothing, even if the film is on the street, you have to pay for it.

Others are in Taiwan, but their minds stay in Xiangjiang, and they pay attention to the company's business and capital situation every day.

Since the official opening of the Snow Country Cinema, three films will be screened in one schedule. This is the normal level of filming.

At present, the first batch of films "The Exorcist Police", "The Old and Mysterious Lawyer" and "The Story of the West Loop" have all been released, and the Snow Knight Distribution Company has advanced the box office into more than 4.9 million Hong Kong dollars. The second batch of films have all been released for a week, and they are not the kind of production that can be screened for a long time.

"Pink Duo" has also been painted in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. According to the rules of the movie market in other cities today, cinemas in other cities account for 60% of the box office, distribution companies account for 15% of the box office, and production companies account for 25% of the box office revenue. The advance box office share has also been paid.

The two together cost more than 11 million Hong Kong dollars. Fortunately, the box office of the films released in November is not high, and the liquidity occupied is limited.

The film distribution companies with low box office made a lot of money. Three films made more than 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and they also made more than 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars in other cities by relying on "Pink Duo". These gains do not need to be shared with Taiwanese capital, and the profit rate is quite good.

"Sacred Gambling" performed very generally in Taiwan, but it was very popular in Southeast Asia. The two markets were able to win at least 40 million Hong Kong dollars in box office. "Sacred Gambling" is going to be released in other cities in the past few days. Snow Knight must pay at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars for the release, and it will take three months to get the box office payment.

Using the box office revenue of the Snow Country Cinemas to give the Snow Knights the turnover of the distribution company is also considered an emergency method. But taxes will be paid soon at the end of the year, and doing so will affect the daily operation and equipment maintenance of the theater, and even mess up the two companies.

Things are rushing, Luo Junyan needs to discuss with everyone before making a decision after returning to Xiangjiang. Anyway, this is the case now, so I feel at ease to stay in Taiwan until the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
