The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 71: Purpose achieved
If you are not Jerry Bruckheimer or Steven Spielberg, no one will bring money to your door; you may have made one or two movies and still remain unknown, or even participated in film production at all , But there are ambitious goals in this regard; and the family is not a rich man, it is impossible to spend millions of dollars for you to play.
Then you must know, before you know how to make a film, you should know how to find money.
In Hollywood, if the ins and outs of raising money are written in one stroke, the complexity is far greater than the script of a movie project.
At this point, Ronan’s personal experience is very representative.
So, he knew very well the importance of finding money, and in the next few days, he talked a lot with Tony.
It is impossible for Ronan to be tied to the Arabs in Abu Dhabi for a long time. It is definitely not a wise choice.
Although the pits dug are very hidden, there are always too many pits to be dug.
During this trip to Germany, Ronan also gained a lot. Through collecting information from various channels and actual observations, he learned more about German funds, which is also a good choice.
Those Germans who want to avoid taxes are not generally interested in investing in Hollywood movies.
Unfortunately, most of them thought they escaped the clutches of the German Tax Office, but they didn’t know that they jumped into a fire pit called Hollywood.
Tax rebates are actually a form of financing.
At this point, Ronan has initially opened up funding channels.
The films produced by Shahai Entertainment can be classified as independent films in the traditional sense. It is quite difficult to find investment for independent films.
Ronan knows very well that he is much smoother than 99% of independent filmmakers.
Normally, even an experienced independent producer can take three to five years to put a paper-talking project on the big screen.
In previous life, at the Cannes Film Festival, a producer once claimed that his film was started by his grandfather fifty years ago, and it took three generations to complete the financing.
Ronan has just joined the game. The company is very large and has no publishing company. Many game rules are temporarily unavailable. In addition, it is necessary to use profit and successful films to attract more funds. She has worked with all Hollywood producers and Among the film company bosses, he is definitely a very conscientious one.
With the assistance of the Helen Koch family and a professional team hired to act as intermediaries, the operations of the two projects "Reaper is Coming" and "Ace Agent" are relatively smooth, and the troubles encountered in the approval process are also provided by the Mueller team. One solution.
The Koch Film Company under Tony’s name, thanks to Helen Koch’s efforts, raised $40 million in funds from many relatives and friends. This money was used as the copyright buyout fee for "Reaper Is Coming" and "Ace Agent". On the account of Shahai Entertainment.
According to the legally agreed agreement between the two parties, Ronan paid 30 million U.S. dollars in the form of prepaid film revenue, leased all the copyrights of the two films for 20 years, including the sequel copyright, and owned 100,000 U.S. dollars after three years. One-time buyout rights.
For the remaining 10 million US dollars, Ronan promised Tony Koch that after the movie proceeds, he will give priority to Koch.
Koch Film Company has also benefited significantly. In addition to helping Helen and the meat company to legally avoid taxes, it will also charge a 5% handling fee to all investors.
In terms of monetary gains alone, this job is more profitable than Tony Koch's financial work in Munich.
The work that should be done is basically in place. Mueller’s team of lawyers is still continuing to lobby, and the rest is waiting for approval.
Things at work came to an end for the time being, Ronan then took time to consider other things.
For example, Carmen Case, which is mainly developed in Europe.
At the beginning, he agreed with Carmen Case that Carmen Case would come to him when he came to North America, and he would meet Carmen Case when he came to Europe.
Ronan called and waited a long time for someone to connect.
"Did you interrupt your work, Carmen?" Ronan asked.
There was a tired voice on the phone: "No, I just happened to be taking a break." She seemed to notice the phone number and asked, "You are in Europe, Ronan? Is this... a German number?"
Ronan smiled and said, "I'm in Berlin, thinking about visiting you."
"It may be a little far away." Carmen Case said, "I'm in Estonia and I can't get out of it for the time being."
Ronan was curious: "Go home?"
In his impression, these models from Eastern Europe don’t like staying in Eastern Europe very much if they make some achievements.
Carmen Case explained: "I'm dealing with business matters."
Ronan is even more curious: "Are you investing in business?"
"Yes." The person on the phone said simply: "Most of the money I make from modeling is invested in business."
Thinking of most models drunk and dreaming, Ronan praised from the bottom of his heart: "Amazing, Carmen."
"It's just some simple clothing business." Carmen Case seemed very humble.
Ronan said again: "This is also great."
The two chatted for a few more words. There seemed to be a woman over there calling Carmen Case. Ronan took the initiative to say goodbye. Before hanging up the phone, he said in a joke: "Carmen, I wish you the richest woman in Estonia soon. ."
By the way, if supermodels can earnestly manage their own income and popularity, they can indeed make a career.
Ronan remembers most clearly, undoubtedly Gisele Bonchen.
Past life, in terms of business, Gisele Bunchen is definitely an unprecedented supermodel.
After the New Year, "Human Removal Project" released by Sony Columbia Pictures was released in Germany. Ronan specially took Helen and Tony to the theater to see it.
Just like North America, this movie is not too hot, the attendance rate is average, and some viewers like it, while others don’t.
horror movies are basically like this, even the "The Shining" and "Saw Horror 1", which are praised by countless horror movie fans as gods, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com also has many horror movie viewers who don't like it.
On this planet, a movie that everyone loves has never been born.
The results of the operation of Mueller's lawyers' intermediary team also came out at this time.
"Ronan! Ronan!"
In the newly renovated office of Koch Pictures, Tony ran in: "Good news! Good news!"
Ronan looked at him and asked, "Has been approved?"
Tony nodded repeatedly: "You can't get through with your mobile phone. Attorney Mueller called me directly. The two projects "Death Is Coming" and "Ace Agent" were officially approved and received a tax rebate of $5 million!"
Ronan patted his palm: "It's finally over!"
Five million dollars, which is definitely a huge sum of money for him and Shahai Pictures.
"Yeah!" Tony laughed haha: "The five percent fee is paid! This feels so cool! This money is really good!"
Ronan slapped him hard and said, "You have a treat at noon!"
Tony said immediately: "Okay, I invite you to a big meal! The most expensive restaurant in Berlin, whatever you choose!"
Ronan checked the time and pushed him out: "Let's go."
Five days later, the tax rebate went to Koch Pictures’ account and then transferred to Shahai Entertainment.
Ronan settled the fees with Mueller's lawyers, and 10%, which is a half-million dollar commission, was quite a bit.
Before Tony's Koch Films can really open up this business, Ronan is very likely to continue to work with Mueller's intermediary team.
The plan for the trip to Germany was basically completed and the goals were all achieved. Ronan bid farewell to Helen and Tony's mother and son, and hurried back to Los Angeles from Berlin with a $4.5 million harvest, to proceed with the next step.
