Hollywood legendary director

The importance of distribution channels to the film and television production industry is self-evident.

In other words, you can always use a low investment and relatively small risk, but you can share one-third, or even half of the proceeds of a movie, everyone is jealous.

In the office.

Lyman was still thinking, smoking a cigarette silently.

Johnson talked in detail about the second method of establishment.

Backed by several companies that have channels, it is far better than starting from scratch.

Just like Lismanvesh Films, it took more than four years to figure out the nation's cinema resources and offline markets from scratch. If it were them, it would not take so long.

After listening for a while, Lehman suddenly said: "If you win the management and enter the market, can you get another shareholder out?"

"It's a bit difficult." Johnson froze for a moment.

Lehman said again: "It seems that some strong support is needed."

Johnson thought for a while, and seeing Lehmann's intention to acquire Lismanwisch Pictures, he didn't say anything.

He thinks that he only holds half of the shares, which is better than the current situation.

Otherwise, if you really have to build it yourself, it will cost less, but the time cost is too great and a lot of effort is required.

Lehman was still pondering, with some plans in his heart, but now he didn't want to tell anyone that he stood up to tidy up his clothes, then wiped out his cigarette butts, and said, "Go, eat."

Hearing the word "eat", Johnson also nodded and followed Lyman out.

......

At night, return to the mansion of Beverly Hills.

Lyman sat on the sofa quietly.

Eva received an endorsement and ran to France to participate in the brand promotion activities.

As for him, since he came here, things happened on a whirlpool, and he didn't expect to stop him a little bit. He calculated carefully, it would be like this.

He has been enthusiastic about channels for a long time.

Nowadays, there are only 20 or 30 film companies on the market that can achieve national distribution, and most of them are those that do not have enough film sources and run offline markets.

After all, if you can’t release a few movies throughout the year, you will be so useful if you have channels.

Perhaps, we can start from this aspect.

Lismanwish Pictures doesn't make much money in the channel.

I couldn't sleep all night, and the next day ushered in hard work.

In just one week, Thomas went from being excited and excited to tired and complaining.

Anyone who reads the material and reads it dozens or hundreds of times will be like this.

It's not enough to just look at it, but I still think about how to cut it, and then I'll read it again after cutting it.

Repeatedly, the double cut is completed.

A total of more than 800 minutes of material, after cutting, there are more than 120 minutes left.

Next, insert the appropriate soundtrack while continuing to cut.

Delete some redundant shots to make the rhythm of the film more integrated.

In addition, in this week, Johnson also deliberately created momentum in accordance with Lehman, and also had a certain influence on Lismanvesch Pictures.

For such a film company, shareholders who want to sell their shares are the source of internal disorder.

The management need not say much, they are all calculating the impact of this event.

Will the new shareholders dictate their work, and will there be changes in their positions?

These are all things that are hard to tell.

And Johnson is also very slippery.

While negotiating with people about the transfer of shares, he led the headhunting company and directly contacted the management to test their ideas.

Or induce, or threaten, or appease.

In short, it is to give them a bottom line and explain their intentions.

Also try every means to hold down the heads of all regions of the distribution channel.

Over and over again, the news that Firefly Pictures is about to acquire shares has become more and more popular-of course, Johnson followed Lehman's orders.

During the negotiation, Lehman gave Johnson a certain degree of autonomy and also gave a lot of money to lobby the management.

Finally, after some seesaw, the transfer of 40% of the shares is calculated based on the valuation of Lismanvesh Pictures of 600 million, which requires 240 million to win.

This amount of money is huge, and people do not accept illiquid funds to pay off, nor do they accept periodic payments.

Otherwise, another shareholder can eat it, not because he doesn't have so much cash in his hands, but he can't wait so long to buy a plastic mold factory.

Regarding the acquisition, Joseph, the head of the administration department, came to persuade him several times, saying that the company's development was a bit eager for fear of unstable foundations.

Lyman smiled comfortingly, listening to what he said, but doing the same.

In the end, even friend Ryan came over to discuss: "Will it be a problem to spend money like this?"

Lehman looked at Ryan and didn't answer. Instead, he asked: "Ryan, if the money is spent and you need to borrow from the bank, would you agree?"

Ryan said in annoyance: "What is said, I must have always supported you."

Lyman smiled, patted Ryan on the shoulder, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not just a matter of asking the teacher.

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart."

Ryan still can't understand Lehman's mind. If the channel cannot be established as soon as possible, no matter how the Firefly Pictures develops, it will always be stuck by others.

Furthermore, film production has a ceiling, and I haven't heard of any film company that can occupy a high position without any distribution channels and capture more market share.

In this way, if you build it earlier and later, you always have your own channels.

After finally waiting for an opportunity to intervene, did you watch it slip away?

He is unwilling to start from scratch in his heart. It will only be the most inferior choice. Unless he can't acquire a suitable issuing company, he will not take the last step and spend a lot of time and energy to train manpower to adapt to the market.

Moreover, he wanted more than that.

Let Johnson eat the equity for sale first, and with the right voice, maybe Lismanvesch Pictures will become the kind of situation that he wants.

Soon, Lyman's actions had some effect.

Although many people are interested in this equity transaction, but because of the funds, it is also because of Johnson's earlier contact and trial intentions. If nothing unexpected, the final transaction should be included in Lehman's pocket.

The management did not immediately turn against each other, but they also released goodwill.

It is not realistic to expect a group of adults to be moved by the language under the premise of uncertainty, but what Lehman wants is also very low-it is good to remain a little neutral in conflict and not to recognize any party.

The TV drama business and distribution business, where the company's focus is, is also part of Lehman's calculations.

Moreover, the other shareholder was originally from the TV drama industry. I believe that the management of the distribution department will make a suitable choice.
