Chapter 481 Film Production (1)

After the movie was completed, the second group of Art invited personnel from the Cultural and Educational and Health Committee to watch it. This time it was highly praised by the Cultural and Educational and Health Committee member Wang Jun, because there were panoramic views, parts, close-ups, switching between different shots, and the soundtrack dubbing, which really made me feel like a movie.

Although Wang Jun does not know how to make movies, he also knows that the movie has a huge communication influence and is also a huge business opportunity. Therefore, it is indeed a big breakthrough for the second group of Arts to create a movie.

Wang Jun immediately instructed that the first thing he would do was to copy the movie immediately and play it in major cities of the East China Government. Although there were not many cinemas in the East China Government in this era, that is, in Qingdao, Shanghai, and Tianjin. In order to show movies from old time and space, several cinemas were transformed in order to show movies from old time and space. Strictly speaking, there were no professional cinemas at all. They only used large spaces to transform them. Of course, in addition to playing movies, they also held other performance activities. After the Far East War, the film screening business was stopped. These cinemas only held performance activities such as singing and dancing, live dramas, operas, and now they are going back to their old careers.

If you only show movies, the requirements for the venue are not high. As long as you do not consider the sound effects, put a screen on the front wall, and a projector is placed in the rear, so that the movie can be shown without being blocked. In all the big cities of the East China Government, there are basically large building spaces such as auditoriums. With a slight renovation, movies can be shown.

If there is really no large-scale building space for movies to be screened, Wang Jun believes that it is possible to consider playing in the open air. In the old time and space, people with life experience before the 1980s, basically all watched open air movies. In the old time and space China, in the 1950s and 1980s, open air movies have always been an important entertainment project for people to enrich their lives, especially in the vast rural areas, and even provided a good place and excuse for young men and women to fall in love, so it is extremely popular. Of course, there are many restrictions on open air movies, which must be at night and sunny, but in the current situation where there are not many cinemas and insufficient conditions, this is an excellent supplement.

To be honest, the veterans of the Art Group II did not expect that they had ever thought of open-air movies. After all, the veterans of the Art Group II were basically born after the 1990s, and the concept of open-air movies was only in the memory of literature. Of course, after the 21st century of the Old Time and Space, some areas in China also held open-air movies in public spaces such as parks and squares. It was originally a nostalgic activity, but the effect was average. After all, people at that time did not have the same mood as when they watched open-air movies. But in this era, open-air movies were definitely promising. This also provided a good idea for the Art Group II to open-air movies.

The second instruction from Wang Jun was to immediately record a group of art choreographed dramas into movies and play them everywhere; the third instruction was that the delegations participating in the Four-National Games held in Germany were about to return home, and they brought back a large number of game videos, and they wanted to edit these videos by athletes from the East China Government and have achieved good results, and put them on commentary, and then play them everywhere. This not only enriches the daily lives of the people, but also promotes the East China Government.

After the preview, Zhang Qian immediately proposed to establish a film company again. Because Zhang Qian believed that all the conditions for establishing a film company are now ready. First, the technical conditions for making a film have been met. Although it is not very mature, at least the problem of existence or not has been solved. This is already quite good. After all, it is impossible to expect the technical conditions for making a film to reach the level of the old time and space at once; secondly, the experience of making a film has been accumulated. The second group of Art has accumulated a lot, and coupled with the available experience in the old time and space, it is completely enough in this era.

Before this, there were two issues that everyone was most worried about setting up a film company, one was the screening conditions and the other was the funds. Zhang Qian believed that it had been solved.

First of all, the screening conditions, that is, the market, which directly affects whether the film company is profitable. However, now the East China government has less than 10 renovated cinemas. Since it is difficult to ensure profitability in all provincial capital cities, even big cities are renovated and established.

Someone has calculated this. According to the income level of this era, the ticket price can only be set between 1-2 corners. A movie theater with 200 people. Even if it is calculated based on the full scene, the maximum income of a movie is only 40 yuan. Based on the 5 movies played in a day, it is 200 yuan.

In the old time and space, the publisher could only get about 30% of the box office. The others were distribution costs and theater revenue. The distribution costs in this era were not high, but the publisher could only get about 50% at most. That is to say, a cinema only earns 100 yuan a day, which is 3,000 yuan a month. Now there are only 10 cinemas, and the monthly income is only 30,000 yuan. This is still the ideal state of the highest ticket price and all the full show. But in fact, this is impossible. It is already a very ideal state to have 50%. One month is 15,000 yuan, and about 200,000 yuan a year. It is definitely not enough to deduct the operating costs of the film company and the production costs of the movie.

Even if all provincial capitals and big cities are transformed and built, with a maximum of 50 movies, with an annual income of about 1 million yuan. This income may be guaranteed to make a profit, but it is hard to say how much it can make. Now the costs of the second art group in Bijing are borne by the government, and everyone only cares about artistic creation. Once a film company is established, they will have to bear all their own profits and losses. Unless more cinemas can be established, the East China government will not be able to build too many cinemas in a short period of time.

Open-air movies solve the screening conditions. Open-air movies do not sell tickets. The cost of purchasing movies is borne by the unit or collective, and it is sold for one o'clock. This income will definitely be lower than that of theaters, but it is better because of the huge number. Open-air movies can be played in factories, schools, and villages, and the base is almost infinite, which can solve the profit problem of movies.

The second is the fund for establishing a film company. The members of the Art Group II have not had a high income among the elders. Someone has conducted statistics and the sum of funds that everyone can add up to about 1 million yuan. Although 1 million yuan is not a small number in this era, and starting a medium-sized company is completely enough. However, since you are going to set up a film company, you naturally have to do big things. It is meaningless to make small fuss. Moreover, in Zhang Qian's plan, the film company does not only make movies, but also includes building a film shooting base, research and development and manufacturing of film equipment, building a professional cinema, establishing a film academy, etc. 1 million yuan is indeed not enough.

However, Zhang Yiqian also knew that the veterans of the Art Group 2 could not afford much money, so he went to find other veterans who started their business and persuaded them to invest. Originally, she and Yang Yuxin and Jiang Yi had some friendship, so a few days ago, Zhang Yiqian rushed to Shanghai to visit them and lobby them to invest in the film company.

Yang Yuxin and Jiang Yi were indeed very interested in film companies. Although neither of them knew about movies, they also knew that in the old time and space, this was indeed a profitable business, and of course it had investment value. Moreover, Yang Yuxin used to be the manager of Lishunde Hotel and the mayor of Shanghai New District, and he also set up a cinema. It was quite popular at that time. At this time, Jiang Yi's partner, Wang Yu, who runs a logistics company, was also in Shanghai, so Jiang Yi brought her in and the three parties negotiated the investment matters together.

After some bargaining, Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and Wang Yu were willing to invest 1 million yuan in the film company, and each accounted for only 20% of the shares, but they required the veterans of the Art Group II to invest a total of 1 million yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares, and the remaining 40% of the shares were counted as the technical investment of the veterans of the Art Group II. After all, the operation of the film company depends on them. Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and Wang Yu did not have the idea of ​​controlling the film company. Of course, the equity distribution of the two groups was negotiated by themselves. At the same time, Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and Wang Yu also promised not to interfere in the operation of the film company, as long as they had the right to financial supervision and the right to review the company's decisions.

This is equivalent to the total investment of the film company is 3 million yuan, and the veterans of the Art Group II can only invest 1 million yuan in a joint venture to account for 60% of the shares, and they also control the operation of the film company. As for financial supervision and decision-making and review, this is the legitimate right of others, and it is understandable. It can be said that the result is so good that it cannot be better.

Of course, Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and Wang Yu also put forward conditions. First of all, the veterans of the Art Group 2 have not yet made up their minds to set up a film company. Only Zhang Qian is pushing it alone, so he requires the veterans of the Art Group 2 to make a clear decision within one month, and the three parties must formally sign an agreement on investment intention. After all, 1 million yuan is not a small amount. Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and Wang Yu are both people with assets of more than 20 million, but it is impossible to take out this amount of money at once. It will take at least a few days to prepare. Naturally, a clear reply is needed to make plans and arrangements for funds and cannot be delayed.

Secondly, after signing the investment intention agreement, the Art Group II was required to come up with a detailed film company establishment plan, capital use plan, and business plan for at least three years after the film company was established. Of course, Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and Wang Yu also made it clear that the film company is not required to make a profit within three years.
