Chapter 192 Prelude to Breakup
Except for Ren Jiangzhou's money, the rest was all miscellaneous money, 50,000 here and 30,000 there. The filming started after more than 1 million was collected. Shen Lang's 300,000 was a pleasant surprise.
Originally, it would have been enough to save money if the filming and editing were completed. There was not much money left, and money had to be saved for publicity.
This time, everyone was hit hard. Ren Jiangzhou was in charge of money, but he had no choice for the time being.
It was just waiting to raise money slowly. After all, the investment was so much, it would not be appropriate to ignore it. In fact, after the review was rejected, I wanted to run away, which meant that I had to continue investing.
After Shen Lang knew about it, he took the initiative to talk with Xin Yukun, confirmed that he would continue to support his editing, and then found a way to buy the shares of all other investors.
Yes, Shen Lang did this again. After all, this movie was really great in his memory. Anyway, it was not too expensive, so he got it.
"Heart Labyrinth" is expected to cost only 1.5 million for the simple shooting and release, including publicity, which is quite cost-effective.
This is because there are no big shots, not as big as the scenes in "Border Region", basically there are one or two people in each scene.
But the post-production, editing, music and so on have to be changed, Xin Yukun can't do this by himself, it requires equipment and professional talents, which is another place to spend money.
Ren Jiangzhou felt that it was not cost-effective, but he could only ask for money, he still had money to trap, but after Shen Lang came to the door, he talked a few times and let it go.
The main reason is that he also felt that it would be better to get the money back directly instead of not knowing how long he would be trapped. If Shen Lang made up the share, he would make money.
At the beginning, he invested hundreds of thousands, and the subsequent investment was also because of these hundreds of thousands as a foundation. Only with projects and funds can some money be gradually pulled in. It took several years to pull hundreds of thousands.
All this money was invested in the movie. Did they work hard for the project? But when the project was returned, he was a little trembling.
You know, in order to invest in the movie, he put most of his money on it. Not everyone is like Shen Lang, who has a system and can easily take out millions.
Therefore, after Shen Lang was willing to take over his share, he thought about it for a few days and agreed. Of course, it was also because there was some profit.
Shen Lang planned to use points on this movie. In this case, it is best to invest all in his own hands.
He was still a little scared by the retrial, mainly because Xin Yukun needed money in the later stage. There was money in the account, but if he spent it, there would be no publicity money.
He had to find money again, and he didn’t know when it would be approved. It’s better to put the money in the bag. Shen Lang will cover all the investment expenses.
However, some sponsors don’t want to make money for the implantation. Shen Lang took the initiative to say that he would not deliberately cut it out. In this case, in addition to his own investment, he still made some money. He returned money to some investors and earned money from the implantation himself. He could make at least 100 or 200,000 yuan.
In other words, money is too easy to make in the entertainment industry. Many people think that a few million is nothing, but for these people, hundreds of thousands are not a small amount.
If he only wanted to get back his investment, he would definitely be a little unhappy, but if he got some extra money, he would be very happy to accept it.
In fact, he was right. If it hadn't been seen by the big guys at the film festival, the film would have lost money. This was the first time, and it was the third time in his previous life that it was finally made into a film.
Xin Yukun didn't take the investment seriously. Shen Lang gave him money for editing, and he was very satisfied. He also gave him suggestions for changing the name, and it passed the review.
Speaking of which, Shen Lang had used up all the funds on hand at that time. Ren Jiangzhou's money had not been paid yet. He only signed the contract and paid the first installment, but he didn't pay the full amount for three months.
Because of the investment in "Big Red Envelope", he spent more than 10 million points on Amazon, and got more than 5.5 million. 5 million was given to "Big Red Envelope", 100,000 was invested in "Heart Labyrinth", and 300,000 was given to Ren Jiangzhou as a first installment.
He only had 70,000 or 80,000 yuan left on him, which was enough, but the agreement with Ren Jiangzhou was about to expire, so he had to give him the rest. Before meeting today, he had already invested.
With more than 18 million points, I invested more than 3 million directly, so that the points stopped at 15 million, which was enough, and it was still a Xingyao Amazon online store.
In fact, if I invested 1.5 million, I would get 900,000 after deducting the cost and tax, which would balance Ren Jiangzhou's account and leave a little.
However, Shen Lang felt that he couldn't always do this. He only had tens of thousands of yuan on him. What should he do in case of emergency? Speaking of which, the box office income and subsidies of "Border Area" had not yet arrived.
The investment in this movie really took a long time to pay back. I got on the train halfway. If I was unlucky, it would still lose money after the investment was released a few years later. That was not even the worst. The worst was that there was no chance of release.
Movies have a box office settlement cycle. "Border Area" was released in late March, mainly because the box office reached 11 million. In the later period, it was only a few dozen yuan a day, or even no money. Let's put it away.
Under normal circumstances, this money would be credited to his account within three months. Shen Lang calculated that he could get 43% of the profit without giving any money to the issuing company. With 11 million, the profit would be 4.37 million.
This money was completely Shen Lang's own. He was the only investor. In addition to the subsidy of 1 million, 850,000 was his. "Border Region" could bring him a total of more than 5 million in revenue. He only invested 800,000, and the net profit was more than 4 million. It was really profitable.
The subsidy is one million, including the 800,000 yuan of cost he invested. Now it is completely recovered. There is no need to calculate the cost at the box office. It is pure profit for him, and there is also 150,000 yuan of Wu Jun's money.
It's just that he is not sure when the money will arrive, so he uses the points to exchange for some money to make up for Ren Jiangzhou's investment. He still has 600,000 yuan in the balance.
At the same time, his point efficiency, that is, the cash that can only be withdrawn in a year, has also reached more than 30 million.
This year, I will make a fortune. Last year, I withdrew more than 2.8 million points. This year, it has increased tenfold. It's just been half a year. The system is yyds.
My income has already surpassed 99% of the stars. This 30 million is after tax. Sometimes I really think that if it weren't for the system that I can only earn points through the film and television industry, I really want to lie down.
"Old Xing, then I will withdraw first. If you need anything here, call me. I only have to go to the film festival." The name is intimate.
"Yes, and there is something I am embarrassed to say, Jiangzhou." Xin Yukun said.
"Just tell him about this. The balance will be in place this month. I'm quite reliable." Shen Lang understood.
As for the money, they all like it. It's normal. Xin Yukun likes "Heart Labyrinth" so much. He has his own salary. He can't skip meals just because of his hobby. Shen Lang said he was very open-minded.
It's time to pick up my friend again. To be honest, some thoughts come up and I can't suppress them.
