The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 316: 5-star customer
In an elegant and modern western-style office, a Japanese man in a suit and leather shoes, with neat clothes and a serious face, is reporting work to the middle-aged man behind the desk.
President Matsubara. The Bancun Japanese had a very respectful attitude: I have already made preliminary contact with people from the United States.
President Matsubara was a short man in his fifties, nodded and asked, Yoshida, have you seen Ronan Anderson?
Yoshida quickly replied: No, the person I met was Scott Swift, the head of the Pacific Film Investment Foundation.
Song Yuan was not surprised. According to the principle of reciprocal reception, if Ronan Anderson came forward, he, the vice president in charge of investment, would have to personally receive him.
Ronan Anderson is also the owner of a film group company and two foundations.
How is the contact? Matsubara asked.
Yoshida replied very seriously: We have made preliminary intentional contacts. As Mr. Harmont said, the Pacific Film Fund is preparing to raise funds. They signed an investment agreement with Shahai Entertainment for five films, including two One of the Class A major productions has already obtained a third-party completion guarantee contract from the Firefighters Insurance Fund under the Allianz Group.
Song Yuan had a certain understanding of Hollywood and was not surprised. He said, This is the basic procedure for financing Hollywood films. He then asked, What about the completion rate of Shahai Entertainment's films?
Yoshida said: At present, the film is 100% finished! And the profit rate is scary. He glanced at Song Yuan, and said: However, the Pacific Film Foundation was established last year and has not made any investment so far. The owner of the foundation is Ronan- Anderson, the owner of Sandsea Entertainment is also Ronan Anderson.
I know about this. Songyuan made relevant understandings after the initial contact with Harmont: This is not uncommon in Hollywood. The owners of many film investment funds are often members of a certain film company. Back then we invested The Yinscreen Fund, and the actual persons in charge are all from big Hollywood companies.
Yoshida tentatively asked: In this case, Hollywood has a lot of insider operations, and it is even more difficult to control...
Matsubara sat upright, and said softly: This is what I am most worried about. We must guarantee our investment income.
Yoshida served as a reminder, so he stopped talking, but waited for Matsubara to make a decision.
Matsubara thought for a while,
He also said: Hollywood film investment is not as simple as it seems. We have already paid tuition fees for the cooperation with the Silver Screen Foundation. This time, we must be cautious. If there is no guarantee, I would rather invest in Wall Street.
Yoshida echoed: Yes! I will continue to contact them! He suddenly thought of something, and said: The other party provided us with a lot of information, if you need it...
Song Yuan nodded: Send it to me.
Yoshida responded immediately: Yes! Please wait a moment, I will go right away.
Soon, Yoshida brought a large amount of materials with another staff member, and put them on the desk according to Matsubara's instructions.
Matsubara asked Yoshida to go out and wait, and took the information and looked through it carefully.
Among them are the relevant information and legal documents of the Pacific Film Foundation, the top credit rating of the owner of the foundation Ronan Anderson in the United States, a copy of the investment agreement signed between the foundation and Shahai Entertainment, Sandhai Entertainment and its production in the last three years The relevant materials of the film, the long-term cooperation agreement between Shahai Entertainment and Allianz Group, the description of the five films of Shahai Entertainment that the Foundation plans to invest in, and so on.
Song Yuan has carefully read every document. Looking at the documents alone, the credibility of Sand Sea Entertainment and the Pacific Foundation is not a problem at all.
Sandsea Entertainment has cooperated with Arabs and Indians before, and the materials indicate that they are still working together, and those who invest in Sandsea Entertainment have benefited a lot.
But Songyuan was not fooled by the above data. Movies are high-risk investments, and each movie is a new brand. Unlike other industries that have a strict reference system and quality standards, there are more uncertainties in film production or production stages. powerful.
Moreover, there are many environmental factors that affect film revenue, and it is difficult to predict in advance because of changes in the market competition environment.
A good movie, if it happens to be another great movie in the same period, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
The information between each movie is relatively closed, and there is no way to negotiate and line up for release, which makes the changes in the entire market very unstable.
The investment risk of film projects is very high, and it is difficult for investors to control the specific work after investment.
Of course, all investments come with high risks.
Songyuan thought of the analysis of the investment analysis team. Hollywood’s first-line film industry is undergoing a transformation. In the future, there will be more and more Class A productions with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Production companies will inevitably need large sums of money. This is an opportunity for investment institutions.
Where there is a need for capital, they, investors, can see where the profits are.
But the investment opportunity of Long-term Credit Bank is not limited to this one. Even in the US market, which the upper management of the company most wants to expand, there are other industries to choose from besides Hollywood.
Matsubara will not make a decision lightly, even from the data alone, this opportunity seems to be very good.
The Pacific Foundation has already made an appointment with Shahai Entertainment for five films.
It is a bad thing for investors that the foundation and the boss of the film company are one person, but it may not be a bad thing to find a suitable entry point.
The movie project also looks solid.
Pirates of the Caribbean, a Hollywood A-class project with a production budget of over 100 million yuan; Taken, a special agent action movie genre that is currently popular all over the world, and Liam Neeson, who was nominated for Oscar for Best Actor, played the leading role; Summer of Jeans is also a popular youth movie in Hollywood. The heroine is Anne Hathaway, who became famous this year...
The titles of the other two projects have yet to be determined, but the initial plan is a horror film and another A-category project.
Matsubara will read the data and code neatly, and continue to consider: due to the relatively mature system of Hollywood, sometimes the risk of investing in foreign films is not higher than that of domestic films, and the benefits are not necessarily lower than the latter.
He himself tends to go to Hollywood to seek shortcuts to make money.
But according to the analysis of the actual situation, the grocery delivery boy will encounter many pitfalls in Hollywood.
Hollywood is definitely not waiting for capital from island countries to save it. Before that, capital from Germany, India, France and other countries had entered Hollywood, and the results were not satisfactory.
For example, the original cost of the film was only 50 million U.S. dollars, and if the island country funds want to enter, they have to accept a price tag of 100 million U.S. dollars.
The cultural differences between the two sides also led to the fact that this side can only play the role of investment, and it is difficult to participate in the core process, let alone post-production.
For Hollywood, the island country is to some extent an investor, a source of funds.
Matsubara's head is very clear that even if he invests in Hollywood, he is positioned as an investor rather than a collaborator in the Hollywood film industry.
After thinking about it for a while, Songyuan pressed the intercom, called Yoshida in, pointed to the information on the desk, and said, Send it to the audit department, and have someone verify the authenticity of these materials as soon as possible.
Yoshida quickly responded, Yes! I'll go right away.
Song Yuan thought for a while, and then said: You continue to maintain contact with the Pacific Foundation, and the reception level is raised to a potential partner. After the information is verified, you contact them. I want to have an interview with Ronan Anderson, personally Talk to them about this cooperation.
Yoshida took the materials that Matsubara picked out and said, Yes!
Needless to say Matsubara, Yoshida could tell that his boss was very interested in this potential partner.
At present, he is the direct foundation person. Judging from the initial contact, the information he has read and the relevant situation he has learned, this Pacific fund has high investability.
Even more reliable than those local film companies.
As for the verification of these materials, this is a necessary procedure, but Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson are quite well-known in the Hollywood industry, so if they dare to produce these detailed materials, they must stand the verification.
Yoshida estimated that the Pacific Film Foundation based on Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson should have no problem.
With Song Yuan's order, he immediately raised the level of attention to another level.
Just a few days later, the news from the audit department reached Yoshida. After strict verification procedures, there was nothing wrong with the information. Combined with the relevant information collected before, the audit department directly gave the Pacific Foundation a five-star rating for potential customers .
This is Long Term Credit Bank's highest quality lead score.
Five days after Ronan arrived in Tokyo, he received a message from the Island National Long-term Credit Bank through Scott that the other party's high-level personnel with the right to make investment decisions wanted to meet with him to discuss the investment.
Scott has already had four rounds of contacts with the Long-term Credit Bank of the island country. Judging from the contacts, the Long-term Credit Bank has a strong desire to invest in the United States, and is also quite interested in investing in Hollywood movies.
However, due to the relationship between the Long-Term Credit Bank and the previous cooperation with the Yinping Special Film and Television Fund, there are considerable doubts about how to guarantee investment returns.
The film and television industry in the island country is well developed. Whether it is a normal film and television industry or a film and television industry that has produced countless outstanding artists, if it can develop to such a degree, there must be many twists and turns.
Moreover, there is Sony Columbia Pictures in Hollywood, and some islanders may have a general understanding of some legal financial calculation methods that are extremely cheating in Hollywood.
That's very bad for foreign investors.
It is normal for the island nation's long-term credit bank to have doubts. After all, the financing amount of the Pacific Film Fund is not a few million dollars, nor is it tens of millions of dollars, but hundreds of millions of dollars!
This is the first fund of the Pacific Film Fund, and Ronan's bottom line goal is to raise $200 million to $300 million.
