Chapter 385 Pros and Cons (seeking subscription recommendation)

Burbank, Los Angeles.

Less than a few hundred meters away from the central square of the town.

One after another business buildings were allocated land.

Almost all around this area are gathering areas related to the film and television industry.

Office on the third floor of a building.

Or sat or stood seven or eight people.

It was the management of Lismanwish Pictures, but the atmosphere was a little quiet at the moment.

At this moment, the door was knocked and opened suddenly, and a middle-aged white man with glasses came in. His hair was a little thin and his face was a little tired.

After entering the door, seeing this, he chose a seat without saying a word.

His actions attracted the attention of many people.

Immediately someone asked: "How is it? How is the negotiation?"

The speaker is Michael Joy, the head of the Los Angeles area, who is responsible for the distribution of the entire region; the second-in-command of the group who just came in is David Nathan, these two people are considered to support Vish. The management structure of most of the distribution channels of the film industry.

Others, such as Nevada, Ohio, Alaska, Utah...

The channel responsible personnel in these regions are inferior to California in terms of status and real market share.

Moreover, the establishment of the channel is the result of the hard work of these two people.

Based on this alone, the two are also veterans.

But it is easy to fight the world, but difficult to guard the world.

Originally they were still ambitious, maybe the publishing department will override the highest position of all departments of the company, and the right to speak will greatly increase.

However, the production department is not strong enough, and the film is not open for a long time. The distribution department has no performance support, and many film companies are unwilling to risk putting the project to Vish Pictures for distribution and operation.

Soon, everyone can only eat the leftovers left on the market.

Mixing for a day is a day.

When you want to do something but can't do it, it becomes the current situation.

Fortunately, there are new shareholders who are about to enter, and a group of people see hope.

One of them glanced at Michael Joey who was silent, and said, "Do you know the rumors outside?"

"Acquisition?"

"Well, we are talking."

"I heard that the person you want to buy is Firefly Pictures?"

"They have made a lot of limelight this year."

"They have strong production capabilities. It's like us. If you shoot a movie, you can't get ten million dollars. They are all given to the TV drama department." Someone complained.

David Nathan also sighed, "Is our company rich in experience in TV dramas, and they don't want to take risks. Furthermore, we have failed several times, so we definitely don't have that much confidence."

"If you make a movie, who says you will be successful. If you don't want to take any risks, you have to engage in any distribution channels, so you can cut the movie one piece at a time, saving trouble."

"Stop talking." David Nathan rubbed his eyes and sat and thought for a while, absent-minded.

The company's internal competition has already begun. After improving the distribution channels, it has not brought enough expected benefits to the company. The resources are increasingly tilting the TV drama department.

Ugh......

While the issue department was worried about the future direction, the two major shareholders of the company were also discussing.

This film industry can be regarded as the hard work of the two.

It's just that the former pays more money, and the latter pays more.

The former is named Austin Hunter. He has a small family and he wants to sell his shares in exchange for the upgrade of his own electronics factory.He is a businessman, and entering the film industry is purely an investment behavior.

The latter is called Charles Digg. Since his youth, he has been in the film and television industry. He has worked as a small worker, has been a casting director, field affairs and crew management, but he can’t be bothered. On Hunter, I set up a small film and television company, which specializes in contracting the production business of some TV stations and helping them shoot film and television dramas.Occasionally, they will make their own independent productions and sell them to TV stations to show them.

Therefore, he is the real manager of this company.

But at this moment, he only felt angry and angry. He felt that Hunter had betrayed the friendship between them.

Hunter didn't even discuss the sale of shares with him in advance, so he went outside.

Fundamentally, they are ignoring him.

Although, over 90% of the funds spent by this film company in the early stage are supported by Hunter.

"Transfer and sell the shares, why don't you tell me?" Charles suppressed his temper, but still a little cold.

"Tell you, can you take out this money?" Hunter looked indifferent.

The unexpected depth of the film industry, after seven or eight years, still can not make a lot of money, Hunter has already lost patience.

In his opinion, it is certainly safer to return to the electronics manufacturing industry he is more familiar with now.

As for the money, Charles certainly can't get it.

Over the years, although profits have been growing, excluding expenditures and personnel salaries, the annual profits have been around 30-40 million.

I have to share some profits with Hunter and invest some. I also need to maintain my personal life, such as houses, cars, and so on. The limit of 20 million in deposits is the limit. Even if real estate is added, it is estimated to be one Billion.Not even half of it.

The two talked coldly, and Hunter invited the negotiation team brought by Johnson to meet.

Charles was left in the office and slammed the notebook on the desk.

He is indeed very upset.It's not just being ignored.

When Hunter was there, he seldom got involved with the company's operations at all, he just focused on finances.

This kind of power holding situation may not exist in the future.A real knowledgeable person came to intervene, how could he not make Charles angry.

Vish Pictures started by relying on TV dramas, in the company, also because he has been stuck in this area.

As for the film, and even the distribution channels, Hunter took into account the opinions of some people and thought it could be developed before it developed.

It doesn't work now, I turn around and want to sell it.

He also said that the market is not saturated enough to open up new markets.

Think about it, all are excuses.

Charles is middle-aged, but his temper is not good.

And this emotion in my heart is also based on a very sober helplessness.

Hunter has the most equity in his hands.

But he was so short-sighted, he just used Vish Pictures as a profit tool.

Once it didn't meet expectations, he immediately switched camps and was simply a pig teammate.

As a result, Charles's prestige has continued to decline throughout the film company.

Not to mention the panic inside the company, even he himself can't stand still and can't see the way forward.

It's a pity that although he was angry, he didn't dare to really offend Hunter. After saying a few angry words, he still had to walk with others to try to get something back.

At this time, the assistant came in via an internal call, "President, Mr. Lyman from Firefly Pictures is coming to visit you."

"Who?"

"Mr. Lyman Rust."

"Fxxx."
