Some time ago, everything went well, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden change and it was rejected.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Wu, everyone has studied several projects of Jin Shu, and they are indeed very good, especially "Heroes", which is very helpful for promoting Chinese culture, and Mr. Westeros. There are no twists and turns. Opening up is a major trend. The Chinese film industry has reached the point where it cannot be done without reform. Sooner or later, the result will be the same. In short, the above originally agreed, but some people are too conservative and even put some The old comrades came forward and thought our approach was inappropriate, and that’s how it turned out.”

Chen Qing and Wu Shanlin sat behind the desk like elementary school students, without any expression of displeasure on their faces, and waited patiently for the big man in front of him to finish speaking before Chen Qing said: "So, leader, what about "Heroes" on our side?" Do it, preparations have already begun, do you need to pause?"

"Of course not. It's just that the plan you were expecting at first, the requirement that "Hero" get the same treatment as domestic films at the cost of giving up the mainland copyright, is definitely not acceptable."

Wu Shanlin, who was only 32 years old and already the head of Jinshu, was somewhat impatient: "Leader, what do you think we should do?"

There was still some resentment in this tone.

Fortunately, the boss didn't mind, he waved his hand and said, "Well, you still have to submit your own proposal, and we'll think about it later, of course, because the last proposal failed, you can only complete this within the existing rules project."

After talking like this for more than ten minutes, Chen Qing and Wu Shanlin left the radio and television office together.

On the way back to Jinshu headquarters, Wu Shanlin got into Chen Qing's car, but, to avoid danger, he just sat in the co-pilot and asked Chen Qing behind him, "What should we do now, "Heroes" is scheduled to launch in August. Not far from now?"

Chen Qing didn't answer, but signaled Wu Shanlin to keep silent, took out a satellite phone which was obviously different from ordinary mobile phones, and dialed a series of numbers deftly.

The phone was connected, and after a few words, it was transferred to Simon's hands after a while.

Simply report what happened just now, and then said: "So, boss, what should we do now?"

During this conversation, Chen Qing deliberately used English. Although Wu Shanlin was also a top student, it is a pity that he is not good at foreign languages. After listening to a few words, he half understood, so he simply turned around and sat down, waiting for the result.

in the carriage.

Chen Qing had been discussing with the other party all the way, and she didn't hang up the phone until she returned to Jinshu headquarters.

After getting out of the car, the two entered the office building together, greeted by several other executives of Jinshu and Zhang Guoshi who also just came back from Gansu filming location.

Facing everyone's questioning gazes, Chen Qing's expression was much better than before. She led everyone to a conference room and said, "I have talked with the boss. This movie will be completely made in China."

When Chen Qing said this, everyone was a little anxious.

Does it mean that Daenerys Entertainment will not pay for it if it is completely converted to domestic production?

3000 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to 2.5 million, in China... who can afford this money?

Chen Qing looked at the surprised expressions of everyone, showed a meaningful smile, and said: "The boss just told me some routines of German capital investing in Hollywood movies, um, I won't talk about these with you, if you want to know more, go to them yourself. Collect information. Simply put, Daenerys Entertainment no longer participates in the investment of "Hero", but someone will give Jinshu a loan for the production of this movie. In addition, Daenerys Entertainment will contribute, Purchase the omni-channel overseas copyright of the film.”

Chapter 1137 Empty Shell

After Chen Qing finished speaking, everyone in the conference room looked different for a moment.

I was very happy at first.

It's just that there are smart people at the scene, and after thinking about it for a while, they soon realized that something was wrong.

Even if Wu Shanlin and others don't know that there is a rule in Hollywood that 'never invest your own money in movies', this plan is more serious than using your own money to invest in movies.

First of all, these high-level executives were promised some shares after joining Jinshu. As long as everything goes well, they can basically cash out after the contract period is completed and become Jinshu shareholders.

Even if you promise that the shares will not exceed 10% at most, you will be considered a boss after all.

Then, let's talk about this plan.

Taking Zhang Guoshi's "Heroes" as an example, the investment equivalent to 2.5 million yuan is definitely an astronomical amount of money in the mainland at this stage.After all, on the public level, there are less than two billionaires in the mainland whose personal assets exceed 2.5 million yuan at this stage.

If Jinshu borrows a huge sum of 2.5 million yuan to invest in a film, everyone will be happy if it succeeds. If it fails, even if it is actually the money of the big boss, it will not be pursued. Theoretically, this company will also fall into negative equity. A statement triggered by the Giant Group incident in the recent period is that it is not far from bankruptcy.

At that time, these executives, no matter how many shares they hold in Jinshu, what is the use?

You may even have to shoulder huge debts.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was silent for a moment, and Wu Shanlin finally took the lead to ask: "Mr. Chen, is this part of the loan borrowed in the name of Jinshu Media, or the name of the subsidiary Jinshu Films?"

After hearing the words, everyone cheered up and looked at Chen Qing.

This question is very technical.

The reason why the Jinshu Department has been called the Jinshu Department since it was established more than a year ago lies in the intricate nature of this system.

The Jinshu Media Group is just a branch of the Jinshu Department. There is also the Jinshu Cinema Line Group, which is in charge of the theater business, and the Jinshu Film and Television Tourism Development Group in Jiangsu, with the Jinshu Film and Television City as its core.

Besides Jinshu Media, the business scope of enterprise registration includes film and television production, artist brokerage, advertising planning, etc. Its subsidiaries include Jinshu Film Company, Jinshu TV Production Company, Jinshu Brokerage Company, Jinshu Advertising Company, etc. , and most of them are open for business.

On the other hand, whether it is the parent company Jinshu Media Group or its subsidiary Jinshu Films, etc., another major feature is the intricate equity structure, which is mainly limited by the current domestic laws and regulations in China, and some foreign investment is prohibited. Income, some shareholdings cannot exceed 50%, and some can hold wholly-owned shares. Therefore, whether it is the parent company or many subsidiaries, they all have completely different shareholding structures. thing.

However, there is no doubt that the entire brocade book department is firmly controlled by a certain tycoon standing behind the scenes.

Besides, at this time, the executives sitting here originally signed the equity award clauses in the contract, which also involved different company entities. Several front-line executives such as Wu Shanlin and Guan Yinan basically had five-year contracts, and the equity award subjects They are all Jinshu Media Group, and after 5 years, they can get 5% to 5% of the shares according to their performance.

The second-line executives of the other subsidiaries basically signed the equity rewards from subsidiaries such as Jinshu Films and Jinshu TV.

Therefore, Wu Shanlin's question is very telling.

If the funds for the production of "Hero" are borrowed in the name of Jinshu Media, the debt responsibility may be on everyone's shoulders. If the loan is borrowed in the name of the subsidiary Jinshu Films, even if it still cannot escape the responsibility in the future, at least, The parent company, Jinshu Media, needs to bear much less responsibility, and the second-line managers of other subsidiaries will not be affected by these debts.

When Chen Qing heard Wu Shanlin's question and saw that other people were looking over, she just paused for a moment and said, "The boss said it in the name of Jinshu Films."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the appearances of the executives at the scene, Chen Qing really wanted to twitch the corners of her lips, but held back.

In fact, on the way home, Chen Qing also thought about this problem, and mentioned it to her boss. Her first thought was of course to borrow money in the name of Jinshu Media. Unfortunately, her boss was kind and didn't do that.

After all, the boss still wants to do something, and he doesn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of Jinshu's group of executives.

Otherwise, with Chen Qing's temperament, Jinshu must be made into an empty shell, instead of only involving Jinshu Film Company this time.

After all, this time it was really a bit sloppy.

Chen Qing also made up her mind to find out who is behind the scenes in the future, and there will be no shortage of other parties in the future, so as to avoid all kinds of bullshit.

However, Chen Qing also understood that her boss was only a little bit kind, but since she used this trick, it was obvious that her heart was not without turmoil.Due to domestic legal restrictions, the Westeros system cannot have absolute control over some businesses, but, to a certain extent, the control power of creditor's rights is actually the same.

Chen Qing had been worried that once Jinshu developed, it would be coveted by some people.

In this way, first of all, the Jinshu Department, which has a large amount of debt, is like a "mess" in the eyes of some people. No one wants to hold a large amount of debt in their arms, and the desire to covet it will be much less.

Secondly, only through higher debt interest settings, the Westeros system can also directly take away most of the profits of the Jinshu Department, making this company unprofitable, and even directly destroying this company in extreme cases. The company as a whole has become an empty shell, which will also block the coveted hearts of all parties to a greater extent.

In the end, even if the Westeros system does not seem to have absolute control over Jinshu Department's shareholding, its control over this company will only get stronger and stronger.
