Chapter 937 The Building Collapsed

It has to be said that the three major projects of Tianmeng are indeed influential. After all, many times in the past, domestic directors went abroad to make films for people.

But this time, for the first time, a Hollywood director came to work for a domestic film and television company.

Well, for many people, this is a kind of progress.

Have the ability to let foreigners work for us.

But what they don't know is, why?
Why are they willing to make films for domestic companies? If it weren't for God Mani, how could they do so?

For normal direct investment and financing, various data of the project need to be announced to investors, but indirect investment methods like Tianmeng and Tianchen Film and Television Fund have too much room for maneuvering.

For Huanyu Investment, after receiving the investigation report from Longteng Consulting, Guo Shenyun held a board meeting and distributed the report of Longteng Consulting.

"What do you think?" Guo Shenyun asked.

The place was silent.

"The film industry, the water is really deep. This report from Longteng Consulting is very good." A director sighed.

"Involving hundreds of millions of investments, we must be cautious. I think this report is very valuable, especially the fees mentioned in it, about the director's remuneration, the actor's remuneration, whether it involves a sharing agreement, etc. Before we invest, the other party must announce it, otherwise, I don’t recommend investing.” Another director said.

Although they were all supportive of investing in film projects before, they were not fools. The investigation report of Longteng Consulting can be said to have directly poured a basin of cold water on them.

"I have a proposal!" Suddenly another director said.

"Tell me." Guo Shenyun said.

"You said that if we directly publish the investigation report of Longteng Consulting, what will happen?"

His words made the eyes of everyone present brighten up.

In fact, at this moment, they all feel that they have been fooled, because Tianchen Film and Television Fund did not make transparent disclosure of these matters in the investigation report at all.

Instead, they have been promoting the advantages of these projects and so on.

But now after they read the investigation report, they found that this was not the case at all.

According to the survey report, even if the box office makes a profit, in fact, investors outside the circle like them are likely to lose money.

"I think it's perfectly fine. If there are no problems with the project, if it is announced, I believe they will not say anything, but if the project is really as stated in this investigation report, then there will be a big problem." Another The director also nodded in support.

The three projects launched by Tianchen Film and Television Fund were crowdfunded online, and the enthusiasm of public investors was quite high.

In just a few days, the crowdfunding share of 1 million for each project in the first phase was fully subscribed.

This has greatly enhanced the confidence of Tianchen Film and Television Fund.

However, when Tianchen Film and Television Fund was preparing to release the second phase of crowdfunding, someone published a survey report on the Internet, which pushed Tianchen Film and Television Fund to the forefront.

As I said before, the crowdfunding products launched by Tianchen Film and Television Fund are quite popular, and the first issue is sold out within a few days.

Naturally, it is because the three major projects are indeed very famous and have a strong lineup. In the eyes of many ordinary people, such a strong lineup is also an adaptation of a well-known IP, and the possibility of hitting the street is quite low.

However, Huanyu Investment released this analysis report from Longteng Consulting on the financing of Tianchen Film and Television Fund's three major projects in Tianmeng, which can be said to stir up thousands of waves with one stone.

Although this analysis report does not indicate the source, the content inside is shocking.

Moreover, soon some well-known domestic investors took a positive attitude towards the content analyzed in this report, and said that when Tianchen Film and Television Fund launched crowdfunding, it actually violated the regulations because it did not announce the cash withdrawal. Hidden agreements beyond payouts.

And some domestic financial media have also analyzed this analysis report one by one, and the final answer is that this analysis report is a bit too conservative.

And expressed doubts about the financing attitude of Tianchen Film and Television Fund and Tianmeng Film and Television.

At the same time, the film and television entertainment media conducted a professional analysis of this analysis report, and conducted a comprehensive interpretation of the Hollywood stars, directors involved, and the market for copyright adaptation rights mentioned.

In the end, they came to the same conclusion that the three major projects of Tianmeng Film and Television are extremely risky, especially when Tianmeng Film and Television deliberately hides the cost of non-cash expenditures, others cannot know the real production costs and risks at all.

Originally, this kind of thing was a normal thing in the circle, and even many times, the actors' remuneration would not be made public, but this time is different, this time Tianmeng Film and Television and Tianchen Film and Television Fund are for Volkswagen, for investors outside the circle, and the amount of financing is extremely large.

For investors, for ordinary public investors, this is deception, especially for those who have already invested, they are filled with righteous indignation.

They have asked Tianmeng Film and Television and Tianchen Film and Television Fund to announce specific hidden terms to investors.

What's more interesting is that a senior investor gave a report and analyzed that if the share agreement between Tianchen Film and Television Fund and Tianmeng Film and Television's hidden non-cash expenses reaches 30%, then even the global The box office is more than three times the cost, and it is difficult for investors to make a profit, and 3% is still a very conservative estimate, because in the case of "Mystery of the World", Hollywood giants once offered a 30% profit sharing contract, but still Could not please the author.

Then it is conceivable that if this company is replaced by Huaguo's company, there must be a certain premium for this figure. That is to say, just to win the copyright, you will have to pay more than 20% of the share in addition to cash.

Then the problem comes again, a movie, box office revenue is only a part of it, Tianmeng can use DVD, Internet broadcasting rights, TV broadcasting rights, and a series of peripheral products for long-term operation, but the contract signed by investors is not Only limited to box office share.

And these box office share itself has already been taken by the copyright owner of the work, as well as the director, the leading actor, etc. More than half, how much of the rest can be shared with investors?

It is almost certain that unless the movie explodes, investors will lose money!
Then, the phone number of Tianchen Film and Television Fund was almost exploded, and the previous investors all began to ask Tianchen Film and Television Fund to disclose the detailed terms to investors, otherwise, they would collectively withdraw their capital.

For example, some investment companies have signed a contract. Although it is difficult to say that they want to withdraw their capital, the other party’s requirements are very reasonable. Once Tianchen Film and Television Fund cannot meet the other party’s requirements, it will be an illegal operation.
