Chapter 181 We must speed up

Regarding the purchase of Red One digital cameras, Wang Hao had already arranged it for Li Kui when he was in Hollywood.

However, due to his busy schedule, he had forgotten about this matter. Now that Li Kui said this, he remembered it.

"That's great!"

Wang Hao was also very satisfied with Li Kui's execution ability.

“You should continue to follow up on the new equipment, learn more and observe more when you get there, and it would be best if you could bring along one or two young people from related majors.

If we want to take the film industrialization route and shoot science fiction blockbusters, we cannot do without the support of new technologies and new equipment.

These are the two legs of the development of science fiction films, neither of which can be missing.

I heard that in Hollywood, 3th Century Fox is already preparing to help James Cameron with the project of his new movie. The new movie is said to use the latest D photography equipment, which will be a groundbreaking technology.

In comparison, we still have a long way to go in terms of both software and hardware!"

Li Kui also agreed with Wang Hao's words.

After leaving campus and joining Wang Hao's team, he gained a lot of knowledge and saw a lot of the world.

As his vision and skills grew, he realized more and more clearly how big the gap was between what they had learned in school and the mainstream technology in today's world.
At the same time, he also became more and more aware of how important Wang Hao and what they are doing now are to the Chinese film industry.

They are really working hard for the rise of Chinese films!

Perhaps this is why he is so dedicated to the task assigned by Wang Hao.

After discussing technical issues with Zhang Yang and Li Kui, Wang Hao saw them off and looked at Ma Ke, who was in charge of the company's finances.

Compared with the previous two people, this one did not bring any good news.

"Boss Wang, I'm afraid the company's current funds are not enough to support the launch of new projects!"

As soon as Ma Ke opened his mouth, he revealed a sense of anxiety.

This is normal. After all, he is the financial director of Galaxy Interactive Entertainment. The company is out of money and has to start new projects, so of course he is anxious.

Fortunately, Wang Hao was not surprised by his words. After all, he often read the company's financial statements, and Galaxy Interactive Entertainment was indeed a little tight in terms of funds during this period.

After all, the company has only made four movies so far, and the first two, "Buried" and "The Shallows", are TV movies, which only made a total of one or two million yuan, which was also the capital for Wang Hao to start his business.

The subsequent "Fatal Call" did make a lot of money, but the company's expenses were also not small. Not only did it recruit a lot of employees and pay them salaries, but it also purchased a lot of new production equipment.

These alone have consumed half of the profits of "Fatal Call".

Although the company did not lead the investment when "Wushuang" was being filmed, it still spent part of the money. In addition, "Lost on Journey" and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" are currently being filmed and produced, which is another huge expense.

But this is not the end. After all, the company held a meeting not long ago and decided to purchase an office building and properties to be used as employee dormitories.

Although this part can be mortgaged, the down payment alone is a large sum of money.

After all these calculations, Galaxy Entertainment's purse was almost emptied, and Ma Ke couldn't help but feel anxious. "Don't worry about this."

Wang Hao looked at Ma Ke's anxious expression, smiled, and comforted him in a calm tone:

“First of all, this new project will not start immediately. After all, the new technology and new equipment need to be familiarized and mastered first, and the team also needs to adapt.

Besides, the company was really rushed to complete the project before, and as a director, I have to take a break for a while, so there is no rush for the money. I guess I won’t need it until after the Chinese New Year.”

"It's also tight after the New Year!" Ma Ke said helplessly, "Not long ago, the copyright department came to me to ask for funds, saying that they wanted to purchase a new batch of copyrights for film and television adaptations of novels."

"I know about this." Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I specifically asked them to buy the Ghost Blows Out the Light and Nirvana in Fire"

After saying this, he did not forget to order:

"As the company grows in size, departments like copyright and special effects will have to be separated and become independent subsidiaries. Your finance department should be aware of this and make preparations in advance."

What could Ma Ke do but nod in agreement.

"I've made note of this, but regarding the funding..."

"You shouldn't worry about funding. With my current fame, as long as I release news about new projects, there will be a lot of people waving money to come to me."

Wang Hao said this with great confidence, and Ma Ke's expression finally relaxed a lot after hearing it.

Indeed, as Wang Hao is now a director with a box office of over 100 million yuan, his new project will not be short of money. The key lies in how much share he is willing to take in the new project.

Wang Hao thought about this and said:

“Besides, the domestic and overseas box office revenue of The Great Wall has not yet been paid. Maybe the money will be paid back a little later, but it will still be paid in the end, which is also a huge income.

In addition, the crew of Lost on Journey should be able to finish filming and release it before the end of the year, which will also be a source of income.”

Ma Ke still has some expectations for the profits of "Wushuang" mentioned by Wang Hao earlier.

After all, according to the statistics and calculations of their financial department, if the global box office of "Wushuang" successfully exceeds 100 million US dollars, then the box office sharing at home and abroad can at least provide Galaxy Interactive Entertainment with 40 to 50 million in revenue.

As for the later "Lost on Journey", as the company's financial director, Ma Ke certainly knew something about this project. It was just a small project with a total investment of four million. Even with Xu Zheng's participation, it was estimated that the box office would not be too high. It would be good enough if the cost could be recovered.

Wang Hao certainly had no idea what Ma Ke thought of Lost on Journey.

Even if he understood clearly, he would not change the other party's mind. After all, he was still the boss of the company. Whether the project could make a profit was his business. The finance department just needed to do its financial work.

After his comfort, the financial director Ma Ke was no longer so anxious. He reported other work of the financial department to Wang Hao and soon left the office.

When he was the only one left in the room, Wang Hao slowly took out a cigarette and lit it. He pondered in the curling smoke with a gloomy look in his eyes.

The road to film industrialization is indeed not easy. It still requires more funds, more talents and more support.

Perhaps Galaxy Interactive Entertainment needs to speed up its pace.
