Hollywood legendary director

In the spacious reception room, Lehman and Ryan waited for more than half an hour, only to have two cups of coffee.

"Sorry, Mr. President is in a meeting..."

The man wanted to say something, Lehman interrupted: "It's okay, we'll just wait here for a while."

"Then...Okay." The secretary replied sorry.

After the secretary left, Ryan complained dissatisfied: "These people don't seem to welcome us."

"The bad guy is here, what would you do if you change it?" Lehman said calmly: "He should be in the company, just want to hang on to us, and we will meet sooner or later."

"is it?"

"We are about to become the largest shareholder, do you think he will be in a hurry?"

As expected by Lehman, Charles is also busy calling some executives in the circle to inquire about the internal situation of Firefly Pictures.

After a while, the secretary came to report: "President, they are still waiting."

"Let them wait." Charles didn't look up.

As the secretary was about to leave, Charles suddenly asked: "What do you think of that man named Lyman?"

"Being extraordinary."

......

After another half an hour, Lyman and Ryan were finally invited into Charles' office.

This person is about 45 years old, is not very tall, and is overweight.

From the outside, it does not have the temperament of a businessman, but looks very elegant and intellectual.There was a gentle smile on his face.

Of course, this is all appearance.

A person who can fight in the film and television industry for more than ten years, establish a film and television company, and develop well, is certainly not that simple.

After the secretary brought the two in, he offered coffee and went out.

"Excuse me, I was in a meeting just now, and it took a while."

At the first meeting, Charles was still very principled and panicked.

"No, no, no, you are in charge of such a huge film and television company, and I am flattered to have time to meet." Lehman was also smiling, without a trace of sarcasm in his eyes.

But why is that so strange?

As if he hadn't heard him, Charles kindly greeted them to sit down.

The office of Lismanwish's president is simple, and it can be seen that Charles is not a greedy person.

Several people chatted politely.

Charles never brought the topic to Vish Pictures, chatting everywhere, Lehman didn't care, and followed his words, just as if he really came to talk to someone.

After more than twenty minutes, Charles said: "Young man, I heard that you want to buy the equity in Hunter's hand?"

Lehman didn't answer directly, but smiled: "Vish Pictures has always been inclined to the TV series, holding the North American distribution channels, don't you want to stimulate the more lucrative film market?"

Charles twitched the corners of his mouth for a while, still pulling out a smile, "The company's next development goal is to maintain the film department."

"Oh, is it so."

......

On the other side, Hunter is still communicating with the negotiation team led by Johnson.

After several negotiations, most of the conditions have been determined.

In the meeting room, Hunter asked his lawyers to check the security of the contract and smiled: "You have made a very good deal."

"Then why do you want to sell? Even if you want to buy a mold factory, a bank loan can solve a lot of money." Johnson asked very concerned.

Hunter didn’t hide it. He was planning to leave anyway: “I didn’t understand this at all. The relationship with the TV station was also maintained by Charles. One of the countermeasures, unfortunately, failed."

He shook his head, "This one is not so easy to understand, I can't play it either."

"Then you sell the remaining 7% of the equity and exit cleanly?" Johnson suggested following the topic.

"It's not impossible, but leave a thought." Hunter chuckled.

"Does it make any difference to leave this little bit?" Johnson asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the cooperation must be achieved, Hunter persuaded: "If you can't absolutely control Lismanvesh Pictures, even if you become the largest shareholder, it will not be easy to do things. At the beginning, I held 65% of the equity, and slowly It’s been reduced to 47%, and it’s not because you can’t get involved. You are making movies, so why not keep making movies?”

Johnson laughed and said: "The finances are so healthy, they are obviously good assets, can they still lose money if they invest in it."

"Losing will definitely not lose." Hunter shook his head, "Then how much do you plan to receive the 7% of my shares?"

Johnson said: "Calculated based on market valuation."

After thinking for a while, Hunter did not insist.

In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether to stay or not.

He had also made up his mind to get rid of all the equity in his hand, even if he didn't meet that mold factory, he would try to sell it.

However, many interested parties cannot afford high prices, and it is not so easy to meet a suitable buyer.

Now that they have encountered it, let them argue about this stall.

After checking the contract, Johnson also represented Lehman for buying 47% of Hunter's shares in Lismannwish Pictures for $282 million.

At the same time, Hunter also agreed to help Johnson and contact part of the company's management.

After getting it done, watching Johnson and others leave.

Hunter said to his assistant: "What do you think of Lehman's idea of ​​entering the field?"

"Complement each other. Firefly Pictures has made more than 200 million yuan a year by making movies. If it has distribution channels and can maintain its original production capabilities, it will be a good deal." The assistant analyzed.

"Yes, I thought I could use the distribution channels to drive the company's film department, but it was a good dream. Today, the profit from the distribution of films completely supplements the film department."

"What do you think of others?" Hunter asked again.

"It's amazing. In three years, many filmmakers have walked the path of their lives."

Hunter also nodded, seeming to agree with him: "Now it's the world of young people. He showed me the shadow of Steven Spielberg. He has directing talent and great ambition."

"But DreamWorks doesn't work anymore."

Hunter laughed and said: "You can't look at it this way. The valuation of DreamWorks is now much higher than when it was first created. Even if those film copyrights and production resources are acquired, Spielberg has not lived up to those years of hard work. It can only be said that his fortunes are bad, his internal intrigues, and his heart is not aligned.

The independence of the animation department alone has lost much of DreamWorks.Look at it, maybe he is out of DreamWorks, and maybe people are better at it. Based on his past achievements, which company can't win him over."
