Hollywood legendary director

Simply decorated office.

Smoke-filled, just like a fairyland on earth.

"President——"

Matt Cohen, then the marketing director of Europa Pictures, put down the cigar in his hand, squatted lightly, and shook off the soot. He said with a deep meaning and as if carelessly, "Mr. Luc Besson, I heard The company has a new project again? Has the director Lehman done a lot recently? Not only does he have a filming plan, but he can also make some investment. He is really capable."

Luc Besson, who was sitting across from him, heard the words and naturally understood that there was something in it.

Let's talk about his identity first. Aside from the position of marketing director, there are still several shareholders standing behind Matt Cohen.

After all, do you run such a big film company? Of course you have to convince the public.How can one person have the final say.

"People can be so good, naturally they have the ability, I have a sense of measure in my heart."

Luc Besson paused, as if to give the person on the other side a little room to think, with a cigar in his mouth, and then taking a sip of it slowly and quite enjoyable.

"I said before that since the company chooses to establish the project, it naturally has the company's plan. Why, do you think Lehman can't do it? Or is there something wrong with the company's decision?"

"No, no," Matt Cohen immediately shook his head and denied: "In the past two years, everyone has seen director Lehmann's performance. How could I not believe him? Besides, the whole company agrees with this. Of course I have no objection."

No comment?

Oh, liar.

Luc Besson didn't tell the truth, and continued to perfuse: "Then you came to me today, is there anything else?"

Matt Cohen smiled, dangling his cigar and said: "It's something. I think we are giving too good terms, which seems to harm the company's interests."

"The global box office of "Bad Guy" surpassed 600 million, don't you know." The smoke cleared up, but he muttered to himself.

The words were boring, and I won't continue with the above. Matt Cohen heard this, but frowned.

The two looked at each other, each with deep meaning.

"Oh? Really, it's because I don't pay much attention to this aspect, or I just know it today."

The investment share of Europa Films in the "Chain Saw" project is not high. Naturally, some people have objections to it, but what Luc Besson did not expect is that the board behind it seems to have some opinions.

Just look at the person who came to ask.

Do you really think he understands nothing?

Today's larger film companies have very complicated internal personnel relations and equity distribution.

Even if Luc Besson is clearly the most powerful wave and can be the master, even if he has a good vision, he can find good projects for the company, discover new talents, and even continuously create revenue.

But there will still be people who have other ideas.

Wealth is touching, and it is not always easy to satisfy.

"The company only accounts for 30% of the box office revenue, it should be a bit small."

"How could it happen? Some people don't need to take risks to make money. What else do you want for such a good thing?" Luc Besson looked at the opposite side and smiled indifferently.

"Is it quite satisfactory? I thought about it too much." Matt Cohen continued, "Then I won't disturb your work..."

He put out his cigar, and after a few polite words, he left.

Seeing the office door closed again, Luc Besson's smile gradually faded until it disappeared.

He looked at the company's financial statements for the first half of the year on the table.

The figures above are actually very good-looking. Some people think it is not enough. Maybe they think it can go further.

The idea is very good, but the brain is not well-developed.

Can't turn around.

Although they are issuing companies and are at the top of the industry chain, they are not in vain if they do not have downstream supply.

It would be okay if their company's manufacturing department was strong. Like Disney now, even if the live-action movie business has not been able to go up, relying on its own heritage, the market share of the Big Six is ​​still strong.

But does Europa Pictures have these?Isn't it not there? That big face, until I think too much.

Lack of good works, and not careful to attract capable directors, really develop well, full of self-confidence?

Don’t you know that in the entertainment industry, talents are not worse than channels.

He tried hard to maintain the cooperative relationship between the two parties in the front, but there were people behind him. For this, Luc Besson really wanted to swear.

Isn't a good director an alternative industry resource?

Can make money, can make a lot of money, but also change the law to squeeze harshly.

What do you think, is it because the non-Europa film industry is not cooperating, or how to drop it.

In this world, will anyone have trouble with profits?

Or, with Lehman’s current qualifications and status, will there be a lack of investment in film companies?

He knows how to measure, how come his company is a fool.

Do you think Lehman has mentioned particularly excessive conditions?Which time is not above the previous results, try for it appropriately, and accept it when you see it, and you are willing to release goodwill.

Which time is not his last compromise, only for the continued cooperation between the two sides.

In fact, Lehman is afraid of trouble. He doesn't want to delay the progress of the filming because of a little disagreement. So he always makes concessions calmly above his own bottom line at the juncture of the final negotiation.

But in Luc Besson's view, this is the release of goodwill and the performance of knowing advancement and retreat.

Moreover, as a director himself, he knows exactly how remarkable Lehman is with his high productivity and market achievements.

Like himself, he often produces a work in two or three years, which is also the norm for most directors in the industry.

After all, ideas are rare, and it’s even more rare to turn ideas into reality and get the audience’s love.

Is there any reason not to cherish cooperation with such talents?

In his opinion, it is because some people have crooked buttocks and are nonsense.

In order to fight for power, even the obvious facts can be thrown away for a while and pretending to be invisible, which is powerful enough.

Luc Besson put out his cigar, put it away carefully, stood up, and walked back and forth in the office thinking about his thoughts.

After another while, he picked up the phone and called his assistant.

"Notify the senior management of the company to have a meeting at one o'clock in the afternoon." He checked his watch, and it was about 10 o'clock in the morning, so he ordered.

"Okay." The assistant nodded, and quickly informed the meeting that he had gone.

He sat back on the office chair, frowning slightly.

It seems that it is necessary to clean up the board of directors. There are too many shareholders.Many people have many ideas, how can this work?

It just so happens that the company has performed well in the past two years, and many people are more willing to support him. Whether it is repurchase or other means, they can always sort it out.

For the company's future development, he can no longer tolerate too much noise.

Luc Besson thought to himself.
