New Age Artists

Chapter 110 The Great Magic of Digital Arrangement (24)

"The estimated production cost of Red Cliff is 400 million yuan, and the cost of building the film and television city is not included in the cost. I pledged 40 million yuan, a 10% investment share, and I will spend my investment first."

Shen Santong first talked about another thing: "This press conference is an expense. So if this project fails, my 40 million investment will go down the drain. If the movie loses money, I will also lose money."

The "Red Cliff" project is too big, and with such a huge investment, it is bound to face all kinds of covetousness and criticism.

Shen Santong's age, qualifications and prestige are not enough for such a large project.

He needs to establish his authority as soon as possible and ensure his say in this project.

First of all, the soldiers in front should throw their own money into it.

If we want to die, we will die together, and if we want to live, we will live together.

Secondly, the project establishment and filing of "Red Cliff" were all carried out in the name of Locomotive Film Company.

China Film Group is the first producer and investor, and the project is in the hands of Shen Santong.

Take a multi-pronged approach to keep a firm grip on the "Red Cliff" crew.

When producing large projects, discipline must be strict!
"What Director Shen Santong said is completely true. Our China Film Group's finances have already been put in place in advance, and China Film Group's investment will only be injected after Director Shen's investment is spent."

Han Sanping confirmed what Shen Santong said: "This was Director Shen's initiative. According to him, he wanted to make the success or failure of this project depend on his direct interests and burn his boats. When he makes a movie, he wants to make a good movie and let the movie speak for itself. He wants to make a movie that can stand the test of audiences and time."

Han Sanping is grateful to and admires Shen Santong, the new generation director.

He had heard the rumors that Shen Santong made money and had money in his hands.

But no matter what, it was Shen Santong's own money, real money.

How come such a huge amount of money is invested in it, and it is still in the early preparation stage?

If the project fails, you won’t even be able to find a trace of it.

From this we can see that Shen Santong has a sense of mission for the "Red Cliff" project.

This approach also relieved a lot of Han Sanping's pressure.

He had legitimate reasons to reject the hands that were extended by all parties.

The crew is conscious of building up its prestige and is willing to make real efforts. For this reason alone, Han Sanping feels that the "Red Cliff" project will not be bad.

The reporters below were also shocked by the news revealed by Shen Santong.

First I was shocked that he was really rich.

It seems that Director Shen really made a lot of money as rumored outside, and he took out 40 million as soon as he said it.

There is also no shortage of jealousy.

But even the most demanding people have to admit that Shen Santong is serious about making movies!

Shen Santong joked: "It's mainly to give subsequent investors confidence, or to comfort them. If the project fails, at least I will be the first to suffer."

There was laughter.

"Then my formal speech began. Although it was called a speech, it was actually a report to the public, potential investors, and audiences to increase everyone's confidence. It had three parts in total. The first part was a commercial feasibility analysis of the Red Cliff project."

"Our movie box office did not grow very fast in 01 and 02."

“But it started to grow rapidly in 03, because we started to reform our cinema chain in 02.”

"On June 2002, 6, the first batch of 1 cinema chains in the country were officially established."

"On September 2003, 9, restrictions on film production were relaxed, which led to the wave of films from Hong Kong and Taiwan going to Beijing last year."

"After the cinemas and producers adjusted their steps, the national box office began to grow in leaps and bounds in 03."

Shen Santong first analyzed the movie box office.

Use solid data and facts to illustrate the profitability of the "Red Cliff" project.

"In 03, the annual box office was 10 billion, and in 04, which was last year, it was 15 billion."

"As of May this year, it has increased by 5 percentage points compared to the same period last year. I won't be modest, but my movies have made an important contribution to this growth!"

"That is to say, using the most conservative estimate, half of 05 points, the annual box office revenue for 20 was at least billion."

“03年10亿，04年15亿，05年保守算20亿！不难算出，国内电影票房总额度正在以每年至少四十个点的速度增长。”

“剩下的，就是一道简单的数学问题，按照每年四十个点票房总额的增速来算。”沈三通加重了语气，几乎一字一顿道：“到06年，全年票房会有28亿！07年会有38亿！08年54亿！09年76亿！”

After Shen Santong finished this small part of the report, he took a sip of water.

The reporters were in an uproar.

Can it still be calculated like this?
It seems possible.

But you, Shen Santong, are too optimistic!

Wouldn't there be any unexpected events, such as the sudden collapse of the film market?

Are you so confident?

Han Sanping watched the reporter's reaction with a smile. He was also shocked when he heard Shen Santong list the data for the first time.

The specific plans for movies in the five-year plan are not so optimistic!
You're a bit extreme.

Moreover, Shen Santong's use of data is particularly magical.

"The data from theaters gave me more factual support."

“2003国家广电总局、商务部、文化部（第 21号），多部联合颁布《外商投资电影院暂行规定》，04年1月1日执行。”

"In April this year, the State Council issued the 'Decisions on the Entry of Non-public Capital into the Cultural Industry', which encourages and supports non-public capital to enter cinemas and cinema chains. Non-public capital is allowed to invest in state-owned cultural enterprises in the fields of film production, distribution and screening."

"With the support and encouragement of such policies, Wanda Cinema Line was officially established at the beginning of this year, becoming the first cinema chain company in my country that is completely dominated by private capital."

"Private capital has successively invested in cinema chain construction. I believe that multiple cinema brands with different financial backgrounds and industry backgrounds will begin to explore the Chinese film market."

"In 2002, we carried out a cinema chain reform and built 11 inter-provincial cinema chains and 19 intra-provincial cinema chains. By the end of the year, there were 35 cinema chains registered nationwide, with 1024 cinemas and 1843 screens."

"Last year, in 2004, the number of cinemas that can be counted nationwide increased to 1188, and the number of screens increased to 2396. Among them, 850 cinemas sold tickets through computer networks."

"According to current data, the number of new screens added this year is about 250."

"Judging from the box office growth experience, the cinema chain will surely see great strides in development after adjusting its pace!"

"Conservatively, we estimate that the number of new screens will double next year, or 500 more!"

“不难算出，06年荧幕至少3000块，07年3500，08年4000，09年4500。”

Shen Santong finished his analysis of theater data and took a sip of water.

The foundation of movie box office is the film market, that is, the annual box office quota.

The other is the cinema screen.

Theater chain analysis is not as intuitive as box office analysis.

Reporters who don’t understand much don’t feel it.

The reporters in the audience who know a little bit about cinemas don’t know what to say. Your calculation method is too rough.

There seem to be countless points that can be refuted, but Shen Santong's inference is supported by data.

Policies were relaxed and private capital entered.

There is also proof of the box office growth after the liberalization of film production, and Shen Santong's analysis of the number of cinema screens really makes sense.

Shen Santong is not Han Sanping.

It is impossible for Han Sanping to give such an accurate numerical prediction.

He is responsible for what he says.

Shen Santong is the boss of a private film company. He has no worries and every number counts.

Even if I'm wrong, so what?

It's just a commercial feasibility analysis of a commercial film. If it's wrong, it's wrong.

The preparations on box office totals and theater screen data are just preparations.

More explosive and outrageous remarks are coming.
