Chapter 142: Fighting against a rock with an egg (Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
…
The share distribution of the producers of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" is as follows: Maizi Entertainment holds 20% of the shares.
Manling Film and Television Culture Company holds a 20% stake.
Zhu Bing Studio holds a 15% stake.
Zhang Chen Studio holds a 15% stake.
Aina Film Group holds an 8% stake.
Chen Ruoxi personally holds 8% of the shares.
Gravity Pictures holds a 4% stake.
May Film holds a 2.5% stake.
The remaining 7.5% was divided up among Yang Baobao, Danchun and other members of Zhu Bing’s group of close friends.
Xu Kai did not get the expected 30% stake in the production company.
But this is normal.
After all, the production company of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" has invested as much as 100 million yuan in the end - and this does not include the pay of Zhu Bing, Zhang Chen, Xu Kai and others. If it is counted, the total investment will definitely exceed 130 million.
In this case, if Xu Kai still insists on taking 30% of the production company's shares, it would be too ugly and unlikely to succeed.
Xu Kai considered that the film "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" was mainly for the purpose of establishing his own reputation and laying the foundation for making movies to make Xu Li famous in the future. Money was secondary.
Therefore, when Chen Ruoxi proposed to give Xu Kai 20% of the production company's shares, Xu Kai nodded in agreement.
After all, Yao Manling is the initiator and producer of "Shiliyangchang", and she also invested the largest amount of 20 million yuan. In addition, 30% of the staff of "Shiliyangchang" are from Pegasus Film and Television Culture Company, so her 20% stake in the production company is not much.
Although Zhu Bing and Zhang Chen only offered 5 million each, they are both top stars in the Chinese entertainment industry, and their pay for a single movie is over 15 million - at this price, they may not even be able to schedule a schedule.
Not to mention anything else, Zhu Bing received a red envelope of 1 million yuan from Wang Bin just for making a guest appearance in "Escape" for one day, and this was done for Zhang Zhiwei's sake. Otherwise, even if you gave Zhu Bing a red envelope of 2 million yuan, Zhu Bing might not necessarily go to make a guest appearance.
Therefore, Zhu Bing and Zhang Chen each hold 15% of the shares, which is not much.
The bulk of Aina's profit does not come from the production but from the distribution. However, Aina's status in the film and television industry is here. It is also the main distributor of "Shiliyangchang" and it has invested 10 million, which is normal for it to account for 8% of the production company's shares.
Like Aina, Gravity Pictures and May Films also have a large stake in distribution, and the producer's shares are just a token of their appreciation.
Although Chen Ruoxi also received 10 million yuan and also served as a producer, her status was too low, so she only got 8% of the shares.
As for the scattered money invested by Yang Baobao, Danchun and others, I will not go into details.
In addition, I have to emphasize that, except for Xu Kai, Zhu Bing and Zhang Chen, all other guests who made guest appearances, including Zhang Zhiwei who claimed that she did not want any remuneration, all received red envelopes - the crew of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" is not short of money, so how could they really let these people make guest appearances for free?
…
After Xu Kai and Chen Ruoxi came in, many people greeted the producer Chen Ruoxi, who had been playing a role in the recent intermediaries and also held 8% of the shares of the production company.
Xu Kai has not been seen in public because he has been too busy recently. Although everyone knows who he is, few people greet him and everyone is more on the sidelines.
What many people did not expect was that Xu Kai actually walked straight to the main seat and sat down without being pushed or refused.
The Chinese nation has attached great importance to etiquette since ancient times.
In any solemn and dignified public occasion, whether it is seating, appearances, or lists of names, great order is maintained.
Take "Water Margin" for example, in which the heroes engage in battles of wits and courage many times over the seating order.
Because, where you sit is not irrelevant at all, but a reflection of your identity, status and power.
At this time, the main seat should be occupied by the person with the highest status in the crew, to his left is the person with the second highest status, to his right is the person with the third highest status, and so on.
So who should sit in this main seat? The answer is... Yao Manling.
Although Yao Manling is unreliable in many ways, she is the producer of "Shiliyangchang" after all, and the largest shareholder along with Xu Kai.
Therefore, no matter how much people look down on Yao Manling, no matter how much people think Yao Manling is unreliable, her position cannot be taken by anyone else.
This is an unspoken rule.
But Xu Kai sat in Yao Manling's seat.
No one believed that Xu Kaihui didn't know the significance of the main seat and who should sit there.
Everyone is waiting for further developments.
Xu Kai didn't let these people wait too long before announcing, "Ms. Yao, Ms. Zhu, Mr. Zhang, and several other shareholders have something to do today, so they won't be here. They asked Ruoxi and I to help them manage our "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" crew. Today's meeting will also be hosted by Ruoxi and me. Everyone, please take your seats and prepare for the meeting."
Except for Xu Kai and Chen Ruoxi, the other shareholders did not come. In fact, except for the three distribution companies, Aina Company, Gravity Pictures, and May Films, the other shareholders did not even send a representative to attend.
Who wouldn't know that Xu Kai and Chen Ruoxi had already dealt with all the shareholders? And from the fact that Xu Kai sat directly in the main seat and Chen Ruoxi sat obediently on Xu Kai's left, it was clear that Xu Kai was definitely the head of their "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" crew.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ge, who had been planning to show off in front of all the shareholders and then seek the position of producer, suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
What made Bai Ge even more embarrassed was that the representatives sent by Aina Company, Gravity Pictures, and May Films, who had just had a pleasant conversation with him, sat down without even saying hello to him.
After the embarrassment, Bai Ge couldn't help but feel a little angry with Zhang Chen. He felt that Zhang Chen should remind him that today was Xu Kai's coronation ceremony, not a mobilization meeting organized by Xu Kai.
actually--
Bai Ge is a mean person.
Zhang Chen had never expected that Xu Kai was already a director, screenwriter, and composer (and one of the producers) who had brought in money to join the group, but Bai Ge would dare to overestimate his own abilities and want to compete with Xu Kai? Of course, this was only from Zhang Chen's perspective.
If you stand from Bai Ge's perspective, it would be different.
Back then, after Zhang Chen introduced Bai Ge to Yao Manling, Yao Manling quickly expressed her intention to use Bai Ge, who was a disciple of a famous director, as director and screenwriter.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Bai Ge to make a comeback after being shelved for three years due to poor filming performance.
So, Bai Ge quickly gave Yao Manling a main plot and said that he would complete the script as soon as possible.
But who would have thought that before the three days were up, Xu Kai, who had never been a director or screenwriter, suddenly appeared and snatched away all the director and screenwriter positions that Bai Ge had already obtained.
Moreover, the main plot that Bai Ge thought was very good was criticized by Xu Kai as worthless, causing all shareholders to underestimate Bai Ge.
This is too much of a bully! Bai Ge made inquiries from many sources and found out that Xu Kai had only made one movie, and he was not the director, but the villain. The reason why Xu Kai was able to get the position of director and screenwriter was because Xu Kai had the support of Zhu Bing.
The person who heard the news even joked to Bai Ge, "Maybe it's because this guy served Zhu Bing so well that Zhu Bing supported him. I heard he's very handsome."
This made Bai Ge even more dissatisfied.
That’s why Bai Ge is trying to hit a rock with an egg today…
