"Moeren is very active this year, so I started another project?"

Ning Shirong just returned from the United States.

Some time ago, he specially flew to the United States to discuss the release of a co-produced film between Sky Sky and the American Film Company. After returning, he heard that Ruby Lin and his team signed a contract with a studio model.

And Moeren also created a costume battle drama specially for Ruby Lin. The 40-episode TV series has an investment of 40 million, and the production cost of a single episode is 1 million. It is an absolute big production.

Apart from Ning Shirong in the office, there is only Zhang Ruilin.

The latter nodded and said; "Moeren is expanding too fast and in the wrong direction. Instead of expanding upstream and downstream, he focuses on investment in film and television dramas, which is prone to problems."

"Have you heard about the investment scale of those films and TV dramas?"

"I have asked someone to find out."

In the two Hollywood blockbusters, Mengren invested 70 million US dollars, which is 420 million Chinese yuan at a 1:6 exchange rate. The production cost is 40 million U.S. dollars, and Moeren invests 10 million, which is equivalent to 60 million Chinese yuan.

The investment budget is tentatively set at 150 million, of which 80 million will be contributed by Mengren; 18 million will be invested; 55 million will be invested; the cost budget will be 40 million, 20 million will be invested by Mengren, and 40 million will be invested.

This is 693 million...nearly 700 million Chinese yuan.

I didn’t inquire about the investment budget, but it can be counted in millions.

It doesn't matter how much, a bunch of projects started by Mengren this year, thrown in more than 700 million.

Although the investment in film and television dramas does not need to be put in place at one time, but is invested at a stage by stage, but there are also a lot of accounts receivable outside of Mengren, and you have to take into account the cost overruns and publicity expenses in the filming of film and television dramas. Eight billion can't help it!

What is the total assets of Moeren?

How much accounts receivable?

Those film and television dramas will have to be released and aired in the second half of the year at the earliest. I am afraid that several blockbuster movies will not be released until next year. Moeren’s funds will be very tight!

Zhang Ruilin's voice is calm, listing Moeren’s expenses one by one, and finally concludes: “Expansion is too blind and it’s easy to stumble. There are many similar examples at home and abroad. Moeren may not realize it now. When the autumn comes, the financial pressure will come. It will really show up, and by then it will be too late."

Compared with Pei Pengbing, Tian Ye and Liu Lei, Ning Shirong is still more satisfied with Zhang Ruilin.

Do not humble or say anything, take money to do things, recognize your own status, and can also make some valuable suggestions from the positive side.

"Although Mai Xiaoyu is disgusting, but Mengren’s movies and TV shows and artists are good. You are responsible for this and keep an eye on Mengren’s cash flow. Once Mengren’s funds are tight, tell me immediately and let’s add one more. Be powerful. Hehe, I have already found someone to do a good job in the overseas shell company, but don't let me down."

"I know what to do."

"By the way, is there anything happening on Deng Chao's side?"

"This is not within the scope of my responsibility, I don't know. I still think that there is no need to do that. When we wait for the future acquisition of Mengren, all the copyrights of film and television dramas produced by Mengren, and the contracts with all the artists under it are also included... "

"You don't understand, go out."

Leaving Qingtian Building, Zhang Ruilin drove on the road, traveled a certain distance, and parked the car on the side of the road.

He opened the glove box, took out a mobile phone from it, and took out a SIM card. After installing it, he dialed the only phone number stored in it.

"President Shi, Ning Shirong has registered a shell company overseas, and it should be in preparation for the acquisition of Mengren in the future..."

...

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a high-quality company to blindly expand and break the capital chain and try to merge it is a popular business routine in the world. Some companies even specialize in mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, and package sales of other companies to earn the difference.

Such companies are still not small companies, and the methods of mergers and acquisitions are very difficult to guard against.

Ning Shirong was bullying Mai Xiaoyu, who was a "turtle", and wanted to take advantage of Mengren's capital chain to make an acquisition.

Didn't Mai Xiaoyu say that he cares about too many people and things now? To put it bluntly, in addition to his family, that is, Meng Ren Film and Television has created the company he founded.

Ning Shirong intends to take control of the cute person from Mai Xiaoyu, then humiliates Mai Xiaoyu as much as he wants, and then...

Now he no longer has trouble looking for Moeren, but instead gives Moeren a chance to develop smoothly. Various projects may be successfully prepared or started successfully. In short, everything went smoothly.

Well, there are unexpected episodes.

In mid-April, the co-productions of Yihua Brothers and American Film Company were released in North America and China one week after another.

With the box office appeal of two Chinese international action stars such as Cheng Long, after the film was released, the box office exceeded 20 million US dollars in the first weekend, ranking first in the North American box office during the same period, and won the North American box office leader in the first week of the film.

A week later, it was released in China and achieved a stunning score of 80 million at the box office in the first weekend, detonating April, which has always been considered a low season at the box office.

In sharp contrast with the high box office, is the reputation of this film.

Poor reputation!

Since it is the first time that two international action stars in China have co-starred in a movie for many years, there are also sparring scenes in the film, and many viewers have reported high expectations~lightnovelpub.net~ Although according to the survey of the theater, they participated Most of the viewers surveyed were "disappointed" in their afterthoughts, but those who hadn't watched it still went to the cinema to watch the movie.

For investors, distributors, and theaters, the value of a movie that is not well-received is far greater than that that is not well-received.

In the words of industry insiders, this movie is more in form than content, but it has all the elements that are in line with fashion consumption, and it can be regarded as an entertainment commercial film.

Therefore, even if many viewers called out "disappointment", the box office was rising all the way, and all theaters were prepared for extra shows and delays on weekends.

The big box office sales, and the Yihua brothers smiled, also made the domestic giants and giants co-produced with American film companies full of hope that their co-produced films will be released this year.

How much money the Yihua brothers made from it has nothing to do with Mengren Film and Television and Mai Xiaoyu.

Although Cici starred, but her popularity and influence in the film industry, the fixed salary of 1.5 million US dollars is not low, it is impossible to enjoy box office dividends.

She played the role of "Golden Swallow" in the film. Liu Xiaoli had given high hopes and hoped that she could successfully transform with this role. However, for her performance in the film, the audience received mixed reviews, but the transformation was obviously unsuccessful. It was not as good as the white-haired Li Bingbing, which left a deep impression on American audiences.

The domestic reputation is not good, and the reputation abroad is also mixed, mainly due to the two Chinese international action superstars and the shocking martial arts scene. In terms of box office, following the first week of winning the North American box office leaderboard, the next few weeks continued to decline.

Until mid-May, there was another craze in the United States. The cause of the craze was... Cici.

The all-pervasive American paparazzi broke out that the heroine of the two films and the two movies that Disney is preparing is Cici!

On the news, the American people were in an uproar...
