The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 7 "Diamonds"

Junhong Brokerage Entertainment.

Hangzhou ranks fourth in size and strength.

As the project director, Qin Zisu's main job is the production department. In fact, he is also responsible for other projects such as the sound arts department, performing arts department, and agency department. He is the absolute top executive of the company, a director.

However, the overall strength of the Hangcheng circle is not very strong, and Lian Tianrui is barely out of the circle now.

……

Hangcheng.

In ancient times it was called Lin'an, or Qiantang.

A prefecture-level city in Zhejiang Province, the provincial capital, a sub-provincial core megacity, the economic, cultural, scientific and educational center of Zhejiang Province approved by the State Council, and one of the central cities in the Yangtze River Delta, with a permanent population of over [-] million.

Hangzhou West Lake, the Grand Canal, Lingyin Temple Qiandao Lake, etc. are all famous tourist attractions.

But, all of the above.

None of this can change the fact that Hangzhou’s management and entertainment capabilities are not outstanding. The largest entertainment media company is not even ranked among the top ten in the country.

Even barely enough to form a gathering circle.

The capital is Kyoto.

National political center.

Such as Beijing Film, Beijing Dance, Beijing Music, Yangxi Opera, Military Arts, etc., which are home to several major art academies in the country. It can be said that [-]% of the country’s entertainment resources are in Kyoto. There are countless large brokerage and media companies. The top ten accounted for six companies, more than half.

Next is Shanghai.

National economic center.

There are also well-known art academies such as Shanghai Opera, Huyin, and Shanghai Film. Coupled with the convenient location, three of the top ten in the country are occupied, and their strength is not weak.

The last one is located in Guangzhou and Shenzhen at the southern end of the national map, adjacent to the Hong Kong River. It can be regarded as the inland tentacle of the Hong Kong circle.

If Hong Kong and Taiwan artists want to receive management contracts in the mainland, they must be affiliated with inland management companies. Therefore, with a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists affiliated with them, they are very powerful.

Of course, not all Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are affiliated with Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and many are affiliated with Beijing and Shanghai circles.

Kyoto has the Kyoto Circle and Pingrou Film and Television Base, and Shanghai has the Shanghai Circle and several small bases.

What does Hangzhou have?
The top-ranked one is the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The Hengzhen Film and Television Base is far away, and many companies will basically be in the nearby JH Municipal Branch for easy travel.

Therefore, the location of Hangzhou is very awkward.

There is a feeling of being disliked up and down.

……

"Cost, rate of return..."

At Junhong Entertainment, Qin Zisu sat at the head of the round table in the conference room and said with a stern tone, "If the most basic expected index is not reached, is it a waste of money to set up a project?"

"Don't focus on Tianrui's RMB 5 million project. These days, the bigger the cost, the more money you make."

"For me, don't draw big cakes."

Qin Zisu's tone was very rude, and the department executives in the first seats at both ends of the round table looked a bit ugly. They want to control costs and have high rates of return?

Then go move bricks, the return rate is super high.

"It is not easy to establish a project..."

Qin Zisu tapped the table, "A failed project will only waste time, manpower, material and financial resources. Less but more is the way to go, and don't cut costs blindly."

"Project bonuses, quarterly or annual dividends are closely related to everyone sitting here."

"In the past few years, Jun Hong has been able to catch up from the bottom of the top ten to the fourth place now because of his steadfastness."

“The times are coming, and it is even more important to be steady.”

In 2012, the era of smart mobile phone interconnection is about to move forward at a high speed, and the golden age of the domestic film and television entertainment industry has arrived. Under the background of this era of high-speed trains, one careless move will cause you to be kicked off the train and eliminated.

Especially for large-scale investment projects, once you lose money, you will be under great pressure and it will be difficult to turn around.

As far as movies are concerned, the best way to go is to have an excellent script at a moderate cost and with a good expected cost-effectiveness.

Of course, the joint auxiliary project establishment is another matter.

"See you on Wednesday, let's break up..."

So, today's Monday regular meeting is dismissed.

After everyone left, Qin Zisu pinched his brows lightly. Projects from other departments were okay, such as the vocal arts department inviting singers or the performing arts department accepting plays. It was easy to roughly tell the quality, and most of them were worth the money.

But movies and TV series are different. The script is the core foundation, and the director and actors are just auxiliary bonuses.

The ingredients themselves are not good, and the chef is blind.

A bad script is to find popular stars and powerful celebrities at a high price. Even if the overall quality of the film produced by the director is not bad, it may not be able to earn a lot of money in conversion, because the cost is too high.

And once you hit the street, you will lose all your money. You must be more cautious when it comes to establishing film and television drama projects.

"Script? A good script..."

Qin Zisu breathed out lightly, murmuring in his heart.

……

Ah, cut.A very sudden sneeze.

Fang Mo pinched his nose, it was dry.

After discussing and explaining some matters, Xiong Bin left. The two of them were busy in the past two days and would meet again on Wednesday while maintaining communication.

Fang Mo first dealt with the script, secondly dealt with the real estate mortgage loan, and thirdly dealt with related procedures such as the establishment of the studio.

"Brother, don't be impulsive..."

The next day, the mortgage manager of a certain bank turned a little green when he saw Fang Mo coming to the door again to apply for a real estate mortgage. It was not that it was impossible to handle, but that the owner had to sell the house if he could not repay the mortgage. The director pounced. The man on the street has already lost two houses, why is he still coming?

Gamblers, movies are so profitable?

"Well, let's do it or not..."

"No, I'll go to another bank..."

Fang Mo was very worried. He didn't say it was time to turn around. Even if he pounced again, the worst he could do was go down and drink with the original person.

There is nothing wrong with being brave enough to live a new life.

"Brother, I wish you great success..."

What else can I say? The mortgage manager can only start the operation. Although Zizhuwan Community is an old community, it has a strategic location, complete surrounding facilities, commercial plazas, medical education, primary and secondary schools, etc. The average market price is nearly 2.8.

However, due to the relatively high age of the property, generally speaking, it will only be approved for about 5% of the market price, but here it can be approved at 7%, and the interest rate is as high as about 8%.

Fang Mo's 120-square-meter boutique apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms has a 7% mortgage of about 235 million, which can be repaid.

In addition to the rest of the previous house sale, it can reach around 265 million at present, and can take out 250 million investment to take up the share, and the remaining 15 is rented studio space and living.

"Brother Fang, please wait for news next week..."

The mortgage loan procedures have been completed, but the payment will not be approved until next week, which is neither long nor short.

Although it is a mortgage made by an old and regular customer, the process can be faster, but it still takes more than a week to complete the investigation and review.

Once the review is approved, the loan is released instantly.

……

"diamond"?
When it gets brighter, it's Wednesday.

Xiong Bin came to Fang Mo's home. He had already found two places suitable for renting and opening a studio. If it didn't work, he would look for it again and let's meet today.

Brother Fang's new script has been roughly completed. Do you want to see the name in your hand and propose the diamond ring?

"How about it, it's OK..."

After a moment, Xiong Bin frowned. This script was more interesting than the previous one, but it was so amazing that I couldn't tell what was good about it.

Of course, it still works.

"This is just the first edition."

Fang Mo smiled, and whether he showed it to Xiong Bin or went to other companies to discuss cooperation, he would take this first version of the script, which was relatively complete.

"diamond".

The predecessor of "Crazy Stone".

The framework and main line are basically clear, but the final effect of the film cannot be fully understood by looking at the script.

In the script of "Diamond", Fang Mo only explained the plot in a normal and direct way, without using flashbacks and interludes, so Xiong Bin only thought it was ordinary, it was a story about a diamond that caused several parties to scramble, and he didn't see it. What a special highlight.

It can only be seen that the story is OK, and the main plot and branch plots are also OK. Simply speaking, it is passable and not bad.

"Five million? Not enough..."

Xiong Bin scratched his head, confused.

"Including advertising, that's enough."

Fang Mo snapped his fingers. The production and shooting costs of 500 million, not counting publicity and distribution, were barely enough.

There are several scenes in the play that are suitable for inserting advertisements, which can be exchanged for some money and converted into them.

Although there are quite a few stone roles, except for a few more outstanding ones who are a bit famous, the others only need to have characteristics and pass the acting skills.

While reasonably controlling the remuneration of the characters, the filming process of the finished film can also be faster in the mind.

In Earth Time and Space, Director Ning was perfecting the script while filming, and a lot of time was wasted on scene changes and reverse scenes. But even so, the filming was completed in 44 days, and the entire Chongqing shooting was not much.

Fang Mo calculated that if everything went well on his side, the filming would take at most one month.

The cost is small, the profit is high, and the reputation is good.

In 06, the original cost of "Crazy Stone" was 300 million, but it subsequently exceeded the budget by 50. The 350 million earned a box office of 2500 million, making it a dark horse.

Now in this time and space of 2012, although Fang Mo cannot predict accurately, he has a bottom line.

With the wonderful plot of "Stone" and the qualified acting skills, the film's reputation will not be bad.

People's eyes are sharp.

Whether it looks good or not depends on its own scale.
