The Best Entertainment Era

　　 With a relatively low investment and relatively small risk, the distributor can divide half of the profits of the film. How can it not be jealous?

　　 This is still Ronan used a lot of methods, no one in the cast of the cast enjoys the post-production share, otherwise Shahai Entertainment can get at most one-third of North America's profits.

　　 is divided into the account, of course, it is the priority to deduct the share of Shahai Entertainment.

　　 Reserved taxes, 15% management fee, 20% profit sharing, etc., these are reasonable and legal standard.

The "Human Removal Project" created a total of US$45.2 million in total revenue for Shahai Entertainment. Ronan was generous, and Shahai Entertainment legally intercepted US$25.2 million of it, and the remaining US$20 million was given out as a "brotherhood". Old Arab friends.

　　 is a profit of 9 million US dollars.

　　 In less than a year, he made a profit of 9 million US dollars with 11 million US dollars. This is definitely a profitable investment.

　　 Shahai Entertainment, like many companies in Hollywood, announced that the net profit of the "Human Removal Project" was 9 million US dollars.

Net profit is a special term in Hollywood, which represents completely different accounting calculation rules. Because of the next financing plan, Ronan did not write too much on it. The days to come will grow, and there will always be a chance to make a big fortune. .

　　 Many big hit movies with high box office and high income have negative net profits on the books of film companies. Those who participate in the net profit sharing often go to the coffee table.

　　 The most typical, "Saving Private Ryan" released this year, is a common financing and shooting project. In the financial statements released by the film company in the previous life, the net profit was negative and it was at a loss.

　　 Director Spielberg made money, starring Tom Hanks made money, producer DreamWorks made money, and publisher Paramount Pictures also made money...

　　 Compared with these people, Ronan considers himself a good and upright person, fair, selfless, clean, honest, and full of honor.

　　 "Should we really share the profits with the Arabs?"

　　 In the office, Robert was unwilling and said: "We can completely calculate the net profit as a negative number."

　　 George wrinkled his face and said, "The profit of $9 million is more than what Shahai Entertainment has earned in the past ten years." He asked, "Can we just refund the cost?"

　　 Relatively speaking, Mary was more conservative and reminded: "The distribution of the film is not done by ourselves. The distribution company has accounts to check. If the Arabs can persuade the distribution company to check the accounts, we will be in trouble."

"Everyone, look farther." Ronan slowly said: "We are going to Abu Dhabi next to start the second round of financing from the Arabs. This little money is a guarantee to establish our business reputation, because this time we Financing, not ten million dollars."

He looked at the three people in the office and said, “We have two projects to make next, one is James Huang’s "Death is Coming", and the other is an action movie with the Arab as the protagonist of which I just finished the script. The combined budget for these two films is 30 million U.S. dollars. I plan to raise 30-40 million U.S. dollars."

　　 Upon hearing this, George and Robert were all excited and eager to try.

　　 Ronan added: "Also, how much money do we need to acquire an issuing company? The minimum is 20 million U.S. dollars. We need capital, and the most indispensable thing in Abu Dhabi is capital."

　　George and Robert looked at each other and didn't say more. If you want to raise more money, you must pay.

　　 "Old rules." Ronan said softly: "Success in financing, one percent reward for each person."

　　 George answered, "I'm not going to watch the house this time, I'm going to Abu Dhabi."

　　 Ronan nodded: "Let’s go to Abu Dhabi for a big fight together."

　　 Robert is confident: "We will succeed!"

　　Mary smiled and did not speak.

Ronan opened the drawer, took out six copies, and sent two copies to each of them, saying: "This is the script and plan of "Reaper is Coming" and the Arab project "Ace Agent". You all have a look. Get familiar."

　　 The three opened the script and looked at it roughly.

Ronan continued: "In the plan, "Reaper is Coming" has a budget of 10 million U.S. dollars and "Ace Agent" has a budget of 20 million U.S. dollars, but in our actual operation, the two are exactly the opposite. We need more funds to invest in James. -In Huang’s project, "Ace Agent" is mainly used to attract Arabs."

The script of "Ace Agent" that Robert watched first, turned over and closed it, and said: "A group of Arabs are the protagonists. Apart from the Arabs, not many people will like it. I'm afraid this movie will lose a lot of money. "

　　 "It's okay." Ronan had already thought about it. "The purpose of this film is to attract Arab investment, and everything else is secondary."

　　 As long as you can get the investment, you can lose it. Anyway, it is the investor's money.

　　 George squeezed the pleats on his face and said: "This film is replaced by an American or a British as the protagonist. There is still room for operation."

　　 Ronan laughed: "The copyright is in our hands. When we finish using the Arabs, we can shoot another British version."

　　 Robert nodded: "Good idea."

　　 The four people ended the meeting. Not long after Mary, George and Robert left, James Wong came to the door.

　　 "I have read the script and plan." Ronan said to James Huang: "Very good, even better than I expected."

　　 James Huang pushed his glasses and asked, "When can we officially start preparations?"

　　 Ronan did not answer James Wong’s question, but instead asked: "James, with your script and plan, is the investment of 6 million US dollars enough?"

　　 James Huang smiled, and said, "I made the plan with the most ideal film effect."

Ronan actually ran a film, accumulated a lot of experience, combined with the learning gained, it can be regarded as a combination of theory and practice: "According to my calculations, this film wants to shoot a relatively good effect, and there is no 15 million US dollars. It can't be done at all."

　　 James Wong did not pick up Ronan's words, and tentatively asked: "It is said that the "Human Removal Project" is very profitable?"

　　 Ronan shook his head: "This is the profit of the investor, and Shahai Entertainment earns very little."

　　 James-Huang scratched his head a little, and said, "I try to save as much as possible..."

Ronan raised his hand to stop him: "I will solve the problem of funding." He paused for a while, and then said: "I will go to Abu Dhabi next week to participate in the UAE premiere of "Human Removal Project"~www.mtlnovel .com ~ Try to raise funds from Arabs, 15 million US dollars is not a small amount, it is estimated that it will take some time."

　　 "I know." James Wong was a little excited when he heard the figure of 15 million US dollars: "I can wait."

　　 Most directors are not qualified to direct such a huge film project in their lifetime.

　　 Ronan said in a deep voice: "James, my company and I will all be pressured on your project. If the film fails, I will go bankrupt and become a pauper."

　　 James-Huang nodded solemnly: "I will do my best to one hundred and twenty points."

　　 "Okay!" Ronan stretched out his hand: "James, I believe you."

　　 James Huang shook Ronan's hand heavily: "I will return your trust with success."

The success of the "Human Removal Project" also gave Ronan more confidence in James Huang. After talking about the project plan, Ronan said: "I will leave Los Angeles next week. Before I leave, I will be Here comes "Set up a special account and allocate 1 million US dollars for your preliminary preparations. Don't stop working with Glenn Morgan."

　　 "Don't worry." James Huang promised: "We will continue to advance this project."

　　 Ronan counted the time and continued: "If everything goes well with the financing, I will return from Abu Dhabi. I will go to Germany again. After the New Year, the "Death is Coming" can be formally established."

　　 Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye he has been in Los Angeles for almost a year.

　　 James Huang is serious: "Ronan, I am waiting for your return."

　　 Before going to Abu Dhabi, Ronan still has a series of issues to deal with, such as the reinvestment of some of the profits of Shahai Entertainment.
