The upcoming movie "Hot and Hot" will be released during the Spring Festival. The audience is waiting to see if Jia Ling can continue the box office myth of "Hello, Li Huanying", and on the other hand, they are waiting to see her state after losing 100 pounds. However, before the movie was released, it was implicated in film and television finance, so that he had to issue a statement. 
The film company said in a statement that it had not authorized any individual, company, or institution to carry out any investment and financing cooperation in the name of the film. Issuing such a statement is obviously to notice the investment chaos in the industry, and it has affected its own movies, so it will issue a statement to remind investors, and at the same time avoid being implicated in financial fraud cases. 
The impact of some unknown small movies involved in financial fraud is not so big, and even "Hot and Hot" has reached the point of making a statement, which boosts the popularity of film and television finance** to remain high and continue to ferment. According to the ** report, the 8.17 film and television investment fraud case involved 12 films, more than 3,000 people were deceived, and more than 150 criminal gangs were expected to be involved, with an amount of more than 600 million yuan. 
Let's take a look at these 12 movies first. Some of them are low-profile and have no release scheduled, and some have already been released, but none of them are satisfactory at the box office. Among them, there are 4 projects worth paying attention to. 
1, "Mai Passerby", directed by Huang Qingxun, starring Aaron Kwok and Miriam Yeung, the movie is produced by China Film Media Asia, Unlimited Power, Closer Pictures and other companies, with a box office of more than 18 million. 
2, "Poet", directed by Liu Hao, starring Song Jia and Zhu Yawen, the main producers Huace Pictures, Youth Film Studio, Huanxi Media, and Eight Millimeter Culture Media at the center of the turmoil, etc., the box office after the release was only 1.01 million. 3, "Ruffian Lover", starring **, Zhou Yiwei, etc., at present, this lineup is doubtful, produced by Mokexing Pictures, Guanyu Pictures and other companies. 4, "Rescue with Death", this is also a project that seems completely unreliable now, it is difficult for Yan Yalun to be involved in the lawsuit to continue in front of the public, and the two production companies are not well-known companies, but such a lineup is indeed very attractive to investors. Based on the current information and reports disclosed by the relevant departments, we can briefly inform you of the logic and operation methods of film and television finance. From the initial planning to the final release of a movie, the general process is that the capital first holds a planning meeting with everyone, and then makes the script, finds the actors, directors and other main creative personnel, and after these are finalized, the producer who holds the project in his hand and controls the main control goes out to find funds, and finally forms a series of production co-production lists, the funds are in place, the script is ready, the contract is signed with the actors, the film starts shooting, and after filming, the post-production is done, and then the schedule is determined, the distribution and publicity are started, and the film is released. After the film is released in theaters, it will get back the box office, and then distribute the profits to various partner companies. The process is complex but the logic is simple, but there is a lot of water in it and more room for maneuvering. Production costs, actors' salaries, etc. are opaque data, so the producer of the main control can achieve a round of premium when inviting other co-producers, such as the total production cost calculated by the producer is 20 million, but the production fee is 40 million, and 50% of the share is transferred, and the project will return to its original cost, and the subsequent box office dividends will be pure profits. This logic is a bit like the primary market and the secondary market, and the same applies to subsequent financing and share operations. In order to reduce their own risks, other producers who have obtained shares will divide their shares again and then find more investors. In the same way of operation, the original 4 million got a 10% share, but the premium was 8 million to invest in foreign investment, if all the shares were sold, it was equivalent to a net profit of 4 million before the movie was released. Such an operation mode determines the financial ** related to film and television, which can be promoted reasonably and legally and fairly. 
For example, Mr. Qiao, a Jiangsu mentioned in the ** report, purchased the investment share of "Mai Luren" through the producer Eight Millimeter Culture, which said that the total production cost of the "Mai Luren" project was 2200 million yuan, Mr. Qiao used 1.1 million to buy 05% of the share corresponds to the corresponding share of the right to income. However, after the movie was released, because the box office was not ideal, he only got 4The box office income of more than 20,000 yuan is equivalent to an investment in vain. He felt that Eight Millimeters Culture was fraudulent and demanded the return of the investment money, but lost the lawsuit. Because on the surface, this is a normal investment and financing behavior, and the investment does not get back the expected return, which can only be said to be an investment failure. 
However, after an in-depth investigation, the relevant departments spent a lot of time and manpower to obtain the true investment cost of the film. Taking "Wheat Passerby" as an example, it is already the 6th hand to change hands to Eight Millimeter Culture, which bought a 10% share of the film for 4 million yuan, but lied to investors that the total production cost was 2200 million yuan, and in the end, they obtained more than 20 million yuan through this film alone, and made a net profit of more than 10 million. According to the share obtained by Eight Millimeters Culture, the total investment of "Mai Lu Man" will not be higher than 40 million yuan. But there is an important point to pay attention to, that is, when it comes to the Eight Millimeter Culture, it is already the "6th hand" after layers of subcontracting, which shows that the real cost of "Mai Luren" will definitely be less than 40 million, and even much lower than 40 million. 
This movie that depicts the people at the bottom of Hong Kong, China, who spent the night in a fast food restaurant due to homelessness, has a very strong cast, in addition to Aaron Kwok and Miriam Yeung starring, it also brings together Wan Ziliang, Zhang Daming, Bao Qijing, Liu Yase, Miao Kexiu and other well-known actors, even if the actor's salary is 30 million, Aaron Kwok's salary accounts for 40% of the total salary, 12 million, which is the highest salary Aaron Kwok can get, but in fact it may be much lower than this number. In comparison, this is much lower than the salary of mainland stars such as Zhou Dongyu who often pay more than 100 million yuan for a drama. Participating in film and television investment and selling shares has been popular in the film and television industry for many years. Speaking of this year's Spring Festival, the encounter of "Hot and Hot" is definitely not an exception. Let's take a look at the capital territory of "Hot and Hot", the 8 producers are almost all large companies with "Genhong Miaozheng", the main controller is Xinli Media, followed by China Film, Alibaba, China Literature Film and Television, Big Bowl Entertainment is Jia Ling's own company, and the back of the literary Xiaohong Culture Media and Jia Ling are also inextricably linked, holding 20% of the shares of Big Bowl Entertainment, eight production companies, only Beijing Riding Pony Culture Media, which was established just last year, is a new company. Among the 16 co-producers, most of them are old large companies such as Huaxia, Shangying, Sparkle Roll, and Changying, and it is unlikely that these large companies will be privately manipulated by individuals, and it is not easy to sell investment shares and operate finance. 
Serious movies like "Hot and Hot" have been exploited by people who engage in movie financial fraud, not to mention other movies. The last question, "Hot and Hot" was released during the Spring Festival, and the pre-sale is currently ranked first, and it is very likely to get the first place at the box office of this year's Spring Festival. This brings us back to the beginning of the article, and don't forget that the share you get has gone through layers of premiums, and when it comes to you, there is not much room for profit. Just imagine, Xinli and Jia Ling finalized this high-quality project, and among the close partners, they have already divided the first-level share, and they have been subcontracted to you for several rounds, if they really make money, why will they cheapen you? What's more, the movie is about to be released, and the cost of production and publicity has been spent, if it is really the operation of the filmmaker, do you still need financing at this time? There is no good thing in the sky that will drop pie, so ordinary people should not wade into the troubled waters of film investment.
