Chapter 159 Visiting Lu Man
In this plan, Song Chuang expressed his ideas very frankly.
Before, he worked in other people's companies. Even though he became the president of a company step by step, he only had very few shares and options.
This gave him the idea to start his own business.
But starting a business is always risky. Although he has nearly 10 million yuan in his hands and can borrow a lot of money, if he loses money, he will suffer a lot.
Since Chen Yan said that any conditions can be proposed.
Then he simply thought about investing in the technology and using Chen Yan's money to start a business.
In this new company, Chen Yan invested 40 million as initial operating capital and held 80% of the shares.
His ability is calculated based on 10 million in two years, accounting for 20% of the shares.
If Chen Yan invests again later, his shares will be diluted proportionally.
Through such an agreement, he can not only obtain sufficient benefits as the company grows, but also effectively avoid his own risks.
It can be said that it was an agreement that was completely in his favor.
However, at the end of the plan, perhaps in order to avoid Chen Yan suspecting that he was not working hard.
He also set up an equity incentive and betting plan for himself.
If he brings more than 100 million in profits to the company within a year, he will get an additional 2% of the company's shares and corresponding dividends.
If he can bring more than 300 million in profits to the company within a year, he will get an additional 3% of the shares...
At the end of the plan, he also specifically listed the terms.
Chen Yan has the right to purchase his shares by paying cash or selling shares of other companies within the next five years.
And he has the right to refuse Chen Yan's capital injection and dilute his shares if the company's operations are normal.
Looking at the detailed plan and gambling agreement in the document, Chen Yan's mouth opened wider and wider...
He was not surprised by Song Chuang's appetite: he had hired him at a high price. His qualifications and abilities were there, so it was impossible not to rip him off.
What surprised Chen Yan was that he thought that this was like finding something without any effort after searching for it everywhere.
Yang Rou had always said that if the movie "Love Is Not Blind" wanted to achieve higher box office, the only possibility was to find a good film distributor.
As long as the distributor can get a large number of screenings in major theaters and various cooperation on various online platforms, the movie still has a chance to break the 500 million box office!
And now...
Is there a better distributor than setting up a distribution company with talented people you recruit yourself?
Other distributors need to make money and control costs, and they have to consider whether it is worth sacrificing their own face and connections for other companies' movies.
But if you are the publisher yourself, do you need to consider these things?
unnecessary!
With his own distribution company, he only needs to discuss the profit distribution with Song Chuang, and then he will do his best to distribute the film. After all, every film he distributes is related to his interests.
And with the connections and resources he has left over from his many years in the film and television industry.
At least for his first movie, all major theaters and online platforms should give him some face, right?
even……
Chen Yan also thought of it.
Distributing movies also falls into Lu Man’s category of “cloud raising”. So can the money spent on distributing movies also be considered as career cashback?
and……
Chen Yan had been thinking about this before. If all of Lu Man's movies and TV series made money, it would be difficult for him to continue investing and get cash back.
And now, I have my own distribution company.
Chen Yan can make money when he wants to make money and lose money when he wants to lose money. He can operate flexibly.
This simply fills the last gap in my career path at Lu Man!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but make up his mind: He must get Song Chuang!
After all, only with such a big shot in charge, Yang Rou, Meili and Lu Man would feel at ease to hand over the film to Chen Yan for distribution.
As for the equity and treatment that Song Chuang wanted...
Chen Yan feels...
Sprinkle some water.
Anyway, I don’t make money from the company’s profits.
No matter how much money this company makes, can it make more than Yunyang Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man?
When doing a project, there are gains and losses.
But if you raise it yourself, you will definitely not lose money!
As long as he can ensure that this company can continue to distribute Lu Man's movies, then Chen Yan will make a lot of money! One movie, double the money!
After reading Song Chuang's plan again, Chen Yan took out the "23 Days of Broken Love" plan that he had drawn in a mess.
Afterwards, he turned to the last page and wrote down his plan to make Song Chuang and his new company the distributor of Luman.
After a moment, Chen Yan took out the photo of the plan and turned it over to take a look.
【"Love Is Not Blind", a female-themed movie. 】
Development cost: around 27 million.
Advertising cost: 10 million to 30 million.
Expected box office: around 1.5-5.8 billion.
Maybe because we are the distributor, there is an additional publicity cost in the judgment of photo paper.
Not only that, in the overall evaluation, the production cost was reduced by 3 million, while the expected box office increased significantly.
The lower limit has changed from 100 million to 1...500 million. The upper limit has changed from 400 million to 5...800 million!
Although I don't have [Xiao Ha's Polaroid Film], I can't check Song Chuang's potential.
But just by looking at the increase in the evaluation of this project, Chen Yan knew... he had struck gold!
You know, Lu Man is a huge weight that hundreds of people in the crew can't pull up!
She single-handedly lowered the box office lower limit to 100 million.
However, the result was just to let Song Chuang release the film. The lower limit of the film's box office was directly increased by 50 million!
If this isn’t a great person, then what is he!
After using this special method to verify Song Chuang's ability, Chen Yan couldn't help but look forward to meeting Song Chuang in two days!
We must take him down!
With him, I can give my villa to Lu Man as I wish!

…
The next day, with beautiful expectations for the future, Chen Yan got out of bed.
Because the company was already on the right track and the team was still in the process of running in, there was nothing much to do, so he readily gave himself a vacation.
After dinner, Chen Yan called the company's driver to take him to Oriental Movie Metropolis. He planned to go see Lu Man and personally verify Lu Man's current condition.
After all, Lu Man suddenly confirmed his relationship yesterday, and he didn't know whether it would affect the movie.
With the help of driver Xiao Wu, Chen Yan quickly arrived at Oriental Movie Metropolis.
Both the driver and the vehicle were arranged by Yang Rouding.
According to her, the company is now big, especially with celebrities like Lu Man, and it needs professional drivers and vehicles.
Because of the tight initial funding and the fact that she had not yet decided on a car model, she simply found a car rental company and rented an ordinary Mercedes-Benz sedan to temporarily use as a company car.
When we arrived at Oriental Movie Metropolis, the executive producer of the crew was already waiting there.
Obviously, Yang Rou also notified him in advance.
The more he got along with Yang Rou, the more Chen Yan felt that this woman was indeed very thorough and satisfactory in her work. She handled several things in a way that made him feel happy.
I followed the executive producer to the crew, where they were filming.
The filming of the movie is actually not done in the order of the plot development as most people think. Instead, it is completely disrupted.
Sometimes it is arranged according to the shooting location (shooting the same scene together), sometimes it is arranged according to the schedule of the crew members, and sometimes it is arranged according to the difficulty of the plot.
The film "Love Is Not Blind" obviously follows the last one. After all, the female lead is a shareholder of the company, and everything has to be considered for her...
So, after standing on the set for half an hour, Chen Yan saw several clips that were almost perfect in one take. There were no NGs.
And Lu Man performed better than he expected.
At least the "broken heart state" he displayed was exactly the same as in the previous few days .
This surprised Chen Yan a little.
Could it be that... Lu Man’s acting skills have exploded?
Or... is she still immersed in the feeling of heartbreak?
After finishing a scene, Lu Man was surrounded by assistants and returned to the lounge to rest .
Today's scene was set indoors, so there were lounges and dressing rooms. Lu Man had her own private room.
When passing by Chen Yan, Lu Man just nodded slightly, just like he did in the previous few days, and didn't say anything.
This made Chen Yan even more confused.
However, he did not follow him. Instead, he walked up to talk to Director Teng, encouraged him and told him to keep going.
Afterwards, Chen Yan left the crew in front of everyone and went to the lounge.
Arriving at the lounge, Chen Yan knocked on the door, and the voice of Lu Man's assistant came from inside the door, "Who is it?"
Chen Yan said, "I. Chen Yan."
Lu Man's assistant was also an employee of the company. When he heard that the boss was coming, he hurried over to open the door.
Seeing her open the door, Chen Yan asked, "Is Lu Man in there?"
The assistant nodded.
Chen Yan said, "I'm going in to see her for something. You go out first."
The assistant was a little hesitant. She turned her head and looked at Lu Man. After Lu Man nodded, she nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen."
After the assistant left, Chen Yan entered the lounge and looked at Lu Man.
Lu Man is not as pretty as usual today. Because her image in the play is to be more ordinary and common, and in order to show the heroine's lovelorn state, Lu Man's makeup is also made to look haggard.
This made her, who was usually strong and sexy, seem a little weak.
While Chen Yan was looking at her, Lu Man was also looking at Chen Yan.
I don’t know if it’s because of the “like” filter, but Lu Man always feels that Chen Yan has become much more handsome recently.
Compared to the first time she met him, he was wearing ordinary clothes. Now he was wearing a well-ironed suit and looked more mature and steady. Combined with his current identity... Lu Man actually felt like a domineering president had come to reality.
While Lu Man was daydreaming, Chen Yan felt a little nervous because of being stared at. He cleared his throat and said, "How have you been lately?"
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man came back to his senses.
She looked at Chen Yan and said with a bit of resentment, "What... do you say?"
