"Bro, you’re truly a genius, I knew nothing escapes your eyes," Sun Dacheng first offered so flattery.
He then got down to business: "The economy is declining now, it’s tough in many industries, but entertainnt is an exception. The industry thrives even more during these tis."
"Hold up! You’re saying everyone is feeling down now and just want so fun, right?" Sun Dasheng interrupted.
"Exactly... That’s exactly what I an, haha... Recently, many restrictions have been relaxed. Topics that were off-limits before can now be explored. So, I want to launch a big plan to take advantage of this great opportunity and grab a share of the pie."
Sun Dacheng explained.
"Tell , how much do you need for this plan?" Sun Dasheng asked bluntly.
"Haha... I don’t need much. Wasn’t the ten-billion plan last ti quite successful? A ten-billion investnt almost doubled in profit. This ti I want to scale it up." He stretched out two fingers, "Double it, a twenty-billion investnt plan. Ten billion to produce three films, ten billion to produce three TV series, let’s call it the 33 Plan, how about it?"
This guy’s appetite is really not small.
But this amount of money is nothing to Sun Dasheng now.
He still has 55.9 billion in his hands after two major investnts.
This figure is top secret, and naturally, Sun Dacheng doesn’t know. Thus, he felt a bit uneasy ntioning this number.
He knows his cousin just spent 27 billion investing in Wanda and 3.5 billion purchasing a building for the new company headquarters. After these huge investnts, he was unsure how much was left in the investnt company.
Probably not much?
After all, a lot had been spent all at once.
And although Star Point dia, which he manages, seems profitable,
the film and television industry has a fatal flaw: the cash return is super slow.
Many projects can take years to see returns.
Thus, the dia company’s account doesn’t have the funds for him to complete this plan.
Sun Dasheng smiled and took a sip of tea, shaking his head under Sun Dacheng’s expectant gaze.
Unrelenting: "If not twenty billion, ten billion will do. The money in the entertainnt circle is easy to earn now, ti waits for no one."
"You... are too hasty, I never said no." Sun Dasheng put down his teacup and said calmly, "Your plan is still too small-minded; ten billion already established so fa. Doubling to twenty billion might help, but not much."
"Then... what do you an?" Sun Dacheng couldn’t gauge his cousin’s thoughts.
"Up the ante, make it more grandiose. Is twenty billion enough? How about fifty billion? If fifty billion isn’t enough, how about a hundred billion?"
"Enough, enough... more than enough," Sun Dacheng’s eyes sparkled as he nodded repeatedly, "Bro, fifty billion is enough. The entertainnt circle isn’t small, but dropping a hundred billion at once isn’t ideal, we have to let others have a bite too."
"Is fifty billion really enough?" Sun Dasheng asked.
Sun Dacheng patted his chest and assured: "More than enough. With five billion for a big production, you can make ten of them, which is already quite shocking."
After all, aside from Liu’s few adaptations, most other sci-fi works were quite bad.
So with no big-spending patrons, despite so movies’ promotional costs running into billions, anyone with good sense can see that’s unnecessary: Why would a regular movie need billions of funding? Are the props really that expensive? Even if they are, it’s not that necessary, right?
The current movie market primarily features investnts below a hundred million.
Movies with investnts over a billion are still a minority.
And many of them have so other unspeakable motives, which those in the know understand.
If real money was spent on producing a movie, dostic films wouldn’t perform so poorly.
Even if the plot falls short, can’t we at least create so grand, popcorn-worthy special effects scenes?
Yet few films have truly accomplished this.
It’s simple, there’s a lot of padding.
They didn’t spend as much money on actually making the movie.
"Bro, with your fifty billion, I’m confident our Star Point dia can stir up the film and television market next year."
"Alright, I’ve heard your tall tales already, if there’s no result then, watch how I deal with you," Sun Dasheng said with a smile.
As long as he spends the money wisely, even if there’s no profit in the end, even a loss can be accepted.
After all, in a ti of great contention, with new kings rising and old ones falling, there must be so price paid.
In other areas, it may be a bloody price, but in the entertainnt circle, it’s a monetary price.
"Haha... If there’s no result then, what face do I have to work here? Then I’ll go back to the countryside to farm."
This vow was seriously intense.
Sun Dasheng didn’t mind giving him more support; there’s still plenty of money in his hands after all.
So he asked, "With 50 billion to invest in productions, does the company have enough staff at the mont?"
This question hit the mark, and Sun Dacheng smacked his forehead, "Bro, I really forgot about this. The ten-billion production plan had quite a few staffing issues. Although we hired a lot, with fifty billion invested, there will definitely be a shortage."
"Bro, you have to lend another hand." Sun Dacheng pleaded pathetically.
Sun Dasheng scolded him jokingly, "Now you rember? You know you have to implent the plan and can’t let it fall apart this ti, right?"
