Hollywood legendary director

Finally, the chaos is set.

As Charles signed the equity transfer contract in advance, Lehman also showed his fangs for the first time during the acquisition, as if he had "betrayed Paramount".

People really grow up.

It turns out that the little person who just wants to shoot his favorite works independently has already had greater ambitions.

When Lyman and Johnson left, Charles immediately called his confidant to discuss.

He did not talk about the transfer of shares. These managements who hold a small part of the equity learned that he had the idea to leave, and most of them expressed their willingness to continue to follow. Only one or two people saw that the situation was wrong and turned to the issuing department. In one line, he persuaded Charles and asked him to proceed with caution and perfunctory.

It's just that Charles, who is full of minds to clear out factions and resolutely not to plug in anyone's mobile phone meeting, can't figure out the deep meaning behind these words, and he remembers in his heart.

Why did he leave in embarrassment, isn't it because Hunter brought in Lehman and his party?

Once this happened, but also suffered the bitter fruit of the scattered power, where will it happen again.

The management that holds the equity must work together.

Anyway, the person who made him think about it seemed to be good for him, but Charles had a choice long ago, and he will soon lead his subordinates to reorganize a film and television company.At that time, the status of such a person will be lost.

And the more this is the time, the more you have to move quickly.

If it waits for Lehman to take the overall merger and acquisition, it will be troublesome at that time, and there may be some waves.

With this thought, Charles started his own arrangement.

He first persuaded these subordinates to also sell their shares, then re-created a new film and television company with the information, and then arbitrarily arranged for the copyright assets of the television and marketing departments to be transferred to the new company, and mastered certain film and television resources.

This has been unified with Lyman, and he is not afraid of being stopped.

So after the cronies all signed the equity transfer contract at a valuation of 600 million, they immediately went through the resignation procedures and invited some people in the circle to join the new company.

After that, it finally became Charles's speech.

As long as it can continue to produce results, is it not another Lismanwish film industry.

All these changes were seen by Lehman.

He also had to sigh that this guy is really a talent, but unfortunately, he doesn't want to subdue to others.

At the same time, after all the trouble was thrown to Charles, Lehman also began to acquire.

In one afternoon, Lyman came to the Vish Studios building again.

I met with Liam Haydn, the management representative of the issuing department who was still left.

"Your current business is to get film sources from overseas at low prices, and then distribute them in North America." Lehman turned his head and continued, "How profitable?"

Liam Haydn's face blushed, and he nodded and said, "Ahem, it's easy to avoid risks. Because most of them are low-cost movies, and they are old movies that have been released overseas. No publicity is required. The price of the issuance buyout is also very cheap. After buying a large number of movies directly into the market, even if only 30% is profitable, and 70% is a loss, we can still make a profit."

"That is to say, if you don't need additional investment to distribute ten films, it is very easy to achieve a balance between revenue and expenditure."

"Yes."

Damn, it's cool to have channels.

The same as the leeks of the cutting production company.

If the production company made ten films and most of them couldn't make money, it would have gone bankrupt.

No wonder DreamWorks is struggling to obtain channel distribution rights.

Having such high-quality assets as a guarantee is indeed the most reliable backing for a normal film and television company.

"However, will the profits be high if the low-cost movies have been released?"

Liam shook his head and did not deny: "The profit is not high, but we invest very little. Nowadays, too many film companies or directors from overseas countries want to enter the Hollywood market, and they do not hesitate to do so. The price of cabbage sells North American copyright. After all, we have the most complete offline distribution channels here, and DVDs will generate profits in the later stage. In order to make more money, those companies are basically willing to cooperate and let companies like us operate for a win-win situation."

"Then if it is handed over to you for first-line production, do you have confidence in operating the film's market potential?"

Liam smiled bitterly, and shook his head.

"Although everyone in the distribution business wants to release blockbuster movies and make big money, I have had this idea. But wanting and being able to do it are two different things. I don't want to hide it from you. In terms of the company's current channel strength, I declare This is far worse than those large film and television companies. Even if it can be pushed into the theater, the publicity cannot keep up, and the hype can't catch the momentum of the film. If you want to run the film's market potential, you must hold a very pessimistic idea. For example, the quality of the movie is indeed excellent, and it may not make money."

He didn't say the rest, and Lehman understood.

Even movies that are of high quality and are very good by word of mouth do not necessarily make money, and those that are almost meaningless are even more unlikely to be profitable by operation.

Give an example.

"Blair the Witch" is relying on absolute publicity and viral publicity to become a must-learn case in the history of film marketing.

But if the film is handed over to Liam to operate, even if he can think of this kind of thinking, he will not have so overwhelming media resources and offline channels to vigorously promote it.

Behind most of the magazines and newspapers on the market are subsidiaries of the six largest parent companies.

This is why, the six major release films always get the fastest hype.

"No way." Lyman frowned slightly.

"So, in your case, what step can the company's current publishing strength do?" Lehman asked again.

Liam calmly said: "We don’t have the ability to distribute more than 30 million medium-sized productions. In other words, if we publish, we must first see if there are six major works in the market. Otherwise, those newspapers will not give up entertainment. If it’s publicized, it will appear to have insufficient momentum."

This is a resource that money cannot buy.

Unless Lehman is also like the Big Six or Lionsgate, he starts to lay out news and newspapers.

But he has no money.

He also owed a bank loan to Guzman when he bought a Vish film company.

"I see. In the future, your focus is to start building a network distribution department, and publicize this one, which can be moved from paper media to network media sites such as Yahoo. As for the issue of film sources, everything is the same. The industry will also hand over some small-cost productions to you for distribution."

Liam breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that after Vish Pictures was acquired, he would immediately launch some first-line production. If the publicity fails, he will have to quit.

And if he releases low-cost movies and requires profit, he is confident to do so.

As for using the Internet for publicity, this is another battleground that Liam is more optimistic about.
