Legendary Hollywood Producer

"Prada", which has gathered countless eyes, continued to report $15.87 million over the weekend. So far, the first week of the film's box office score has accumulated to $62.34 million.

And in the next week, Columbia Pictures’ "Rivals of the People" also officially began to be released. This film came fiercely. With a score of $14.2 million on the first day, "Prada" won the eight-day North American box office chart.

However, what is interesting is that after another two days, "Prada" returned to the championship.

It is a pity that such miracles did not continue to be performed.

After all, a film that has overdrawn part of the market's potential is still not comparable to the release of this excellent new film.

Roman at this time actually didn't pay much attention to these.

We have done everything that should be done, and the movie "Prada" has also been launched in major overseas markets.

The rest will be considered after the movie is down.

......

In the office of the president of Manhai Entertainment, Roman is discussing new financing channels with the company's director of affairs, Ino-Jordon.

In the next few years, there will be a lot of money-consuming things to do. The establishment of a global offline DVD market and the development of a streaming media Internet company require real money and silver investment, and it will be long-term and non-profitable in the early stage. s project. Therefore, it is very necessary to open up new financing channels and adjust the funds of one's own company.

"How many institutions have investment intentions for us?"

"We have received more than 30 applications for cooperation." The achievements of Manhai Entertainment in recent years are there, and there will be no shortage of those who wish to enter the game.

"Tell me about the collaborators who you think are more qualified."

"Long-term credit banks in the island country, several entertainment companies in the Smecta country, and a personal foundation in Russia." Ino-Jordon explained: "All these companies have a clear purpose and a relatively strong desire to invest. Compared with other institutions seeking investment, it can also take the lead in negotiations."

"Is their situation clear?"

"Well, I sent someone to collect relevant information." Ino-Jordon said, took out the corresponding information file from the folder in his hand and handed it to Roman.

After Roman took over and looked through it, he continued to introduce: "The long-term credit banks in the island countries are local established investment institutions. Their investment business is very broad and they have investment projects all over the world. In Hollywood, they have participated in There is also a lot of investment in movies, and the amount is huge, and each investment is not less than 50 million."

"How about cooperation?" This is the question that Romans is most concerned about.

"They choose to invest in the film list. The condition is to invest a certain amount of money to participate in all the film projects produced by Manhai Entertainment in the next few years, enjoy a fixed proportion, and they do not accept late premium participation."

As a country that often deals with the United States, the island country is naturally very clear about the little cats of the Hollywood film industry.

Just like the film list issue and the late premium in the conditions: Generally speaking, when many overseas investment institutions test a Hollywood production company, they usually choose a single project or the like. In this way, the investment risk is high, after all, the film project There will be loss of money, but the victory is that the participation is not high, and it can be relatively timely if it is not possible to withdraw, and there will be no too much investment pressure.

In addition to being optimistic about Manhai Entertainment, the reason why long-term credit banks choose to invest in singles is also because this investment method also has advantages: in simple terms, if multiple projects have investments, even if one of them loses money After that, there is still room for profit for the rest. Relatively speaking, the investment risk will be greatly reduced, and it also saves the time and energy consumed in wrangling and negotiating with the producer for each project. After all, all projects will be rounded up in the next few years, and there is no possibility of t being out.

As for the late premium, it is the loss that the long-term credit bank has suffered before.

Hollywood film companies are very slippery when it comes to profit sharing. If it is not clearly stipulated, he can deduct all costs and expenditures before calculating the interests of the investors. At that time, no loss is considered to be a profit. The company of conscience. So in this regard, they also have experience.

"What about Smecta? What did they say?"

"Their method of cooperation is similar to that of the mainland. Profits are divided according to the investment share. There are no hard and fast requirements.

After hearing this, Roman's heart was moved.

Isn't every investor as savvy as the island country? Roman would not cooperate with the island country under that kind of conditions.

Adjusting funds to other projects is correct, but it doesn't mean that Roman is willing to hand over the benefits to others.

To cooperate with the mainland is to fancy the potential there; to cooperate with Paramount is to find a backer for the development of its own company; and what is the island country, is it exclusive? Even if the investment amount is stable, it is not Roman’s dish. This time he came for the purpose of "borrowing foreign funds to relieve the pressure on the company without losing too much profit". Naturally, he couldn't cooperate with the island countries. They were too smart to dig pits, and the Smecta country was like this. , Is the best.

Of course, Roman did not forget that there is an alternative target, "What about the situation in Russia?"

"There is a personal foundation, which is fully owned by a wealthy man in Moscow. They have the most sincerity and have sent cooperation intentions many times. They also indicated that they can provide 200 million US dollars in advance to invest in our projects. Specific cooperation The method is not stated, but I think it can be followed up."

200 million dollars? So sincere, of course I have to talk about it.

Roman, who made up his mind, directly instructed: "Our first stop for external financing is to go to Russia, Yinuo, and prepare the relevant formalities. We want to make the rich man trust Manhai more and be willing to pay for that. Come on."

"I will be ready immediately."

"Then set off in three days, and notify the company's legal department and finance department and ask them to act with us."

"..."

This time, Roman’s action is not as focused on maintaining the future cooperative relationship between the two parties as before. He is more willing to squeeze more funds to relieve some pressure for Manhai Entertainment’s next big actions.

Although it is a formal introduction of investment, there are too many places to do things, and the accounts of Hollywood movies are not easy to check, otherwise the people on Wall Street will not suffer from it repeatedly.

They are interested in investing, so Roman can target them.

The trip to Russia is very exciting.
