Chapter 316 Five-star customer

In an elegant and modern Western-style office, a Japanese man with a flat face was dressed in a suit and tie, dressed neatly and had a serious face, and was paying his work back to the middle-aged man behind the desk.

"President Matsuhara." The Japanese were very respectful: "I have had preliminary contact with people from the United States."

The short man named President Matsuhara was a fifty-year-old, nodded and asked, "Yosita, have you seen Ronan Anderson?"

Yoshida quickly replied: "No, the person I met was Scott Swift, the head of the Pacific Film Investment Foundation."

Matsuhara was not surprised. According to the principle of reciprocity reception, Ronan Anderson came forward and asked him, the vice president in charge of investment, to receive it in person before he could tell.

Ronan Anderson is also the owner of a film group company and two foundations.

"How is it in contact?" asked Matsuhara.

Yoshida replied very seriously: "Having initial intentional contact, as Mr. Harmont said, Pacific Film Fund is preparing to raise funds. They signed investment agreements with Shahai Entertainment, including two large-scale A productions, and one has obtained a third-party film guarantee contract from the Firefighter Insurance Fund Company, a subsidiary of Allianz Group."

Matsuhara had a certain understanding of Hollywood, and was not surprised, saying, "This is the basic procedure for financing Hollywood movies." He asked again, "What about the film completion rate of Shahai Entertainment?"

Yoshida said: "It's 100% finished films at present! And the profit rate is so high." He glanced at Matsuhara and said: "However, the Pacific Film Foundation was founded last year and has not made any investments at present. The foundation owner is Ronan Anderson, and the boss of Shahai Entertainment is also Ronan Anderson."

"I know this." After Matsuhara and Harmont had a preliminary contact, they learned about it: "This is not rare in Hollywood. Many movie investment funds are often members of a certain film company. The Silver Screen Fund we invested in back then, and the actual leaders were actually from large Hollywood companies."

Yoshida asked tentatively: "In this case, Hollywood has many insider operations, which are even more difficult to control..."

Matsuhara sat upright and said softly: "This is what I am most worried about. We must guarantee our investment returns."

Yoshida played a reminder role, so he stopped talking, but waited for Matsuhara to make a decision.

Matsuhara thought for a while and said, "Hollywood's movie investment is not as simple as it seems. We have paid the tuition for cooperation with the Silver Screen Foundation. This time we must be cautious. If there is no guarantee, I would rather invest in Wall Street."

Yoshida echoed: "Yes! I will continue to contact them!" He suddenly thought of something and said: "The other person has provided us with a lot of information, if you need it..."

Songyuan nodded: "Send it to me."

Yoshida immediately responded: "Yes! Please wait, I'll go now."

Soon, Yoshida brought another employee to send a large amount of information and placed it on his desk according to Matsuhara's instructions.

Matsuhara asked Yoshida to go out and wait, and after getting the information, he carefully looked it up.

Among them are relevant information and legal documents from the Pacific Film Foundation, the top credit rating of the foundation's owner Ronan Anderson in the United States, a copy of the investment agreement signed by the foundation and Shahai Entertainment, relevant information on Shahai Entertainment and its films produced in the past three years, a long-term cooperation agreement between Shahai Entertainment and Allianz Group, an explanation of the five movies that the foundation has prepared to invest in Shahai Entertainment, etc.

Matsuhara has carefully read every document. If you look at the documents alone, the credit of Shahai Entertainment and the Pacific Foundation is not a problem at all.

Shahai Entertainment has worked with Arabs and Indians before, and the information indicates that it is still working, so those who invest in Shahai Entertainment have benefited a lot.

But Songyuan was not confused by the data above. Movies are high-risk investments. Each movie is a new brand. Unlike other industries, there is a strict reference system and quality standards. The uncertainty in the production or production stage of the film is stronger.

Moreover, there are many environmental factors that affect movie returns, and it is difficult to predict in advance because changes in the market competition environment are not allowed.

If an excellent movie encounters another outstanding movie at the same time, you can only think of yourself as unlucky.

The information between each movie is relatively closed and there is no way to negotiate to queue up for release, which makes the changes in the entire market very unstable.

The investment risk of film projects is very high, and it is difficult for investors to control the specific work after investment.

Of course, all investments are accompanied by high risks.

Songhara thought of the analysis of the investment analysis team. Hollywood's first-tier film industry is undergoing a change. In the future, more and more A-class productions will be invested hundreds of millions of dollars. Production companies will inevitably need large amounts of funds, which is an opportunity for investment institutions.

Only when there are places where funds are needed can investors see where the profits are.

However, there are more than one investment opportunity for long-term credit banks. Even if it is placed on the US market that the company's top leaders want to expand the most, besides Hollywood, there are other industries to choose from.

Matsuhara doesn't make decisions easily, even though it looks like this opportunity is very good, just from the information.

The Pacific Foundation has made five appointments with Shahai Entertainment.

The foundation and the film company owner are the same person, which is a bad thing for investors, but finding the right entry point may not be a good thing.

The movie project also looks very reliable.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is a Hollywood A-type project with a production budget of over 100 million yuan; "Hurricane Rescue", a type of agent action film that is currently popular all over the world, and Liam Neeson, who has won the Oscar for Best Actor nomination, plays the male lead; "Summer of Jeans", is also a popular youth film in Hollywood, with the heroine being Anne Hathaway, who has become famous this year...

The titles of the other two projects are not yet determined, and they are initially determined to be horror movies and another Class A project.

Matsuhara has seen the neat information code and continues to consider: Due to Hollywood's relatively mature system, sometimes the risk of investing in foreign films is not higher than that of domestic films, and the income is not necessarily smaller than that of the latter.

He himself tends to go to Hollywood to seek shortcuts for money.

But according to the actual situation, the delivery boy will encounter many pitfalls in Hollywood.

Hollywood is definitely not waiting for island capital to go to save it. Before that, capital from Germany, India, France and other countries had entered Hollywood, and the results were not ideal.

For example, the original cost of the video was only 50 million US dollars, and if the island funds wanted to enter, they had to accept a price of 100 million US dollars.

The cultural differences between the two sides also make it possible for this side to only act as an investment role and it is difficult to participate in the core process, let alone post-production.

For Hollywood, the island country is to some extent an investor and the source of funds.

Songyuan is very clear that even if he invests in Hollywood, his positioning is an investor, not a collaborator in the Hollywood film industry.

After thinking for a while, Matsuhara pressed the phone and called Yoshida in, pointing to the information on his desk, and said, "Send it to the review department to verify the authenticity of these information as soon as possible."

Yoshida quickly responded: "Yes! I'll go now."

Matsuhara thought for a while and said, "You continue to maintain contact with the Pacific Foundation, and raise the reception level to a level one potential partner. After the information is verified, you will contact them. I will interview Ronan Anderson himself and talk to them about this cooperation in person."

Yoshida took the information picked up by Matsuhara and said, "Yes!"

Without further ado, Yoshida could see that his boss was very concerned about this potential partner.

Currently he is a direct basic person. Judging from the preliminary contact, the information he has read and the relevant information he has learned, this Pacific fund is highly investable.

It is even more reliable than the local film companies.

As for verifying these information, this is a process that must be followed, but Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson are quite famous in the Hollywood industry. If you dare to come up with these detailed information, you will definitely stand the verification.

Yoshida estimates that there should be no problem with this Pacific Film Foundation based on Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson.

With Matsubara's instructions, he immediately increased his attention to it by another level.

In just a few days, the news from the review department reached Yoshida. After strict verification procedures, the information was not problematic. Combined with the relevant information collected before, the review department directly gave the Pacific Foundation a five-star potential customer score.

This is the best lead customer score for long-term credit banks.

Five days after Ronan arrived in Tokyo, he received a message from the island country's long-term credit bank through Scott. The other party's senior executive who had the right to decide on investment wanted to meet with him to discuss the investment matters.

Scott has had four rounds of contact with island countries' long-term credit banks. Judging from the contacts, long-term credit banks have a strong desire to invest in the United States and are also quite interested in Hollywood movie investment.

However, due to the last time credit banks cooperated with Yinping Special Film and Television Fund, they had considerable doubts about how to protect investment returns.

The film and television industry in the island country is developed. Whether it is the normal film and television industry or the film and television industry where countless outstanding artists have been born, there must be many twists and turns in it.

Moreover, there is also a Sony Columbia Pictures in Hollywood. Some islanders may have a general understanding of some legal financial calculation methods that Hollywood is extremely cheating.

That is very unfavorable to foreign investors.

It is normal for island countries to have doubts about long-term credit banks. After all, the financing amount of Pacific Film Fund is not a few million dollars or tens of millions of dollars, it is a huge amount of hundreds of millions of dollars!
