Yu Dong didn't care about Ning Hao and others' lateness. As long as they could come, it means that they were not opposed to their invitations. It seemed that the intermediary he found was very effective. As an investor, the most important thing is to be able to invest in a project with great potential and finally obtain huge benefits.

Moreover, Qin Yu's smoothing situation also made Jia Zhangke look much better. These sixth-generation directors, mainly art films, are far less talented than those in their films. They are not as confident as commercial directors like Ning Hao and others in front of capital. After all, for capital, directors who can bring benefits are the hot spots in their eyes.

"You are polite to Qin Yu. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We haven't made an appointment with you in the bar many times. We finally met you today." Yu Dong not only had no objection to Qin Yu's arrival, but his eyes lit up.

Qin Yu bowed and said, "I have been filming in Northeast China for a while and just finished filming two days ago. Many people don't know that I'm back, which makes me addicted to alcohol. Brother Yu, this is the first scene I've been going back to Beijing."

"Haha, it's such an honor. This is Huang Wei, our distribution department manager. Although he doesn't have as much alcohol as Qin Yu, he can drink more than one pound. Let him drink a few drinks with you." Yu Dong introduced another slightly fat man beside him to several people.

"Manager Huang, I feel respectful!" Qin Yu, Ning Hao and others bowed to the man after Yu Dong's introduction.

"Director Ning, let them drink the side, let's sit together and chat." Yu Dong arranged seats, Ning Hao and Qin Yu were on both sides of themselves. Ning Hao was Jia Zhangke and Yue Xiaojun in the past, while Qin Yu was sandwiched between Yu Dong and Huang Wei.

"Hello, Mr. Qin! I am Huang Wei. I have heard from our Mr. Yu talk about your alcohol tolerance. Today I overestimate my ability to drink with you." Huang Wei should be older than Yu Dong, but seeing that he obeyed Yu Dong's words, he should belong to Yu Dong's confidant.

"You are kind to Manager Huang, Brother Yu is complimenting me." Qin Yu took the two wines he carried and said to Yu Dong: "Brother Yu, let's drink this today. I'm going to have a dinner with Brother Hao and the others today, so it's not easy to come empty-handed."

"Wuliangye, Qin Yu, you are too polite." Yu Dong did not refute Qin Yu's face and ordered Huang Wei to take Qin Yu's over.

The banquet officially began. Yue Xiaojun, who did not drink, became the "Wine Commander", but was responsible for Yu Dong, Ning Hao and Huang Wei, and did not use him to pour wine, but each one was a bottle. Even the cups that drank with several people were about one or two big wine glasses.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone's exchanges gradually got to the point. Yu Dong was interested in Ning Hao's new films and prepared to invest, but what the few people didn't expect was that Yu Dong did not invest in the name of Bona Film, but was invested by Baichuan Film and Television Distribution Company controlled by Yu Dong.

Ning Hao hesitated a little. He wanted to accept Bona Film and Television because he was interested in the other party's promotional and promotional ability. Now it was replaced by Baichuan Film and Television. Ning Hao was worried that the later release would not achieve satisfactory results.

Yu Dong saw the hesitation of several people, and then gave them a reassurance: "Although Baichuan Film and Television is independent of Bona, there is no problem with the investment and issuance qualifications of the film and television. The company's distribution department manager is also Manager Huang, and the distribution channel is the same as that of Bona. If Director Ning agrees, we can get a 20% return on the investment rate, and we will only charge a cost price in the later promotion and distribution."

Yu Dong's concession behavior touched Ning Hao, Yue Xiaojun and others. According to the investment share of 2 million yuan left to Yu Dong, 20% of the investment rate also accounts for about 3 points of the total return. In fact, it is not high, but the concession issued at the cost price can really be considered a big deal.

According to the domestic box office sharing principle, first of all, 5% of the film development special fund and 3.3% of the business tax are deducted from the total box office. The remaining 91.7% is considered a net box office. Among them, the theaters as screening venues will take about half of the box office, and the remaining box office will be divided by the producer and the publisher in accordance with the pre-agreed ratio.

During the entire release process, there are too many things that the publisher can do, including copying fees, poster production fees, venue fees, announcement fees, etc. This fee can even account for about 15% of the total box office, and their real cost may not even be half.

This is also a means for some large companies to deduct investors' returns. Some videos clearly see box office revenue as big sales, but in the end, these companies have very little dividends after deducting the issuance fee, and some videos even lose money.

Ning Hao and Qin Yu and others exchanged their eyes, then picked up the wine glass and toasted Yu Dong, saying, "Since Mr. Yu is so generous, if we are ruling, we will be too embarrassed. Thank you for the remaining investment share."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, everyone benefits each other." Yu Dong and a few people had this cup.

In fact, Yu Dong put aside Bona Film and Television to choose Baichuan Film for investment is also a helpless move.

In 1999, Yu Dong, who resigned from the head of Beijing Film Academy, led Huang Wei and others to establish Bona Film. Backed by China Film Group, they established the first private film distribution company in China and obtained the first "film distribution license issued by the Guangdian General Administration. They released Huang Jianxin's "Tell Your Secret" and Wen Jun's "My Brothers and Sisters". Later, they obtained the distribution rights of "Together with You" directed by Chen Kaige through relationships and earned their first pot of gold.

However, as the country relaxed the distribution rights of private film and television companies in 2000, Bona Film Group made a small fuss in the next few years. After all, film and television companies with a little more famous domestic film and television companies have taken the opportunity to obtain distribution rights and establish their own distribution channels.

During this period, Bona Film Group mainly cooperated with the sixth-generation directors such as Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai, and Zhang Yuan, who are not popular among regular film and television companies. The directors of this group are mainly artistic films, and are very famous abroad and frequently won awards, but they are often banned in China, and even if they are released, they are mostly dismal box offices.

In 2003, Yu Dong, who was unwilling to make a small fuss, transferred 51% of Bona Film's equity to Poly Huayi Group, and merged with the other party's Oriental Shenlong Pictures Company to establish Poly Bona Film Company. Oriental Shenlong was responsible for filming and Poly was responsible for distribution. Relying on the strong capital of Poly Group, Bona ushered in another take-off. He invested in "Beauty Grass" starring Liu Ye, obtained the right to distribute "Infernal Affairs 3", and established relationships with many film and television companies in Xiangjiang, and obtained the right to distribute their films in the mainland.

However, in just three years, the two sides faced the end of breaking up again.

Mainly, Bona wanted Poly to invest and enter the film investment field, but Poly refused. Yu Dong saw Xu Ke's "Seven Swords" and Cheng Long's "Baby Plan" took the right to issue by other companies because there was no investment.

In 2006, Yu Dong felt even more powerless. Even the films "The Promise", "Huo Yuanjia", "Night Banquet" and "The Golden Armor in the City" all failed one after another. However, the distribution companies of these films not only recovered the distribution costs, but also made profits, which made Yu Dong, who was out of the box, have greater opinions on Poly Group.

So Yu Dong wanted to start a new business, expand Baichuan Film and Television's distribution and production capabilities, wait for an opportunity to incorporate it into Bona Film and Television, and then get back his controlling stake, introduce new capital, and strive to kick Poly Huayi out.

Today, Qin Yu came to attend the banquet, which gave him another possibility. So after the dinner, Yue Xiaojun was responsible for sending Ning Hao. Jia Zhangke went back. Yu Dong saw Qin Yu standing next to the car and advised: "Qin Yu, you have drunk a lot of wine today, so you can't drive."

Qin Yu nodded. Although a bottle of white wine did not have much impact on him, the traffic police didn't care about this. They just care whether you drink or not: "I have called the company's driver to come and drive me."

Huang Wei drank about a pound of white wine and the amount had reached it. Yu Dong did not force him to stay, but arranged for the driver to send him home and stayed with Qin Yu to wait for his driver: "Looking at you, you shouldn't have fun tonight. Brother, please find a bar for you and have some drinks."

Qin Yu knew that Yu Dong should have something to talk about, so he nodded: "Then thank you Brother Yu."
