Hollywood legendary director

Lyman looked at Paul Anderson with a smile, thinking that he had caught an express train.

Paul Anderson lowered his head, still somewhat ignorant of the situation.

Because the "Resident Evil" series was mixed with a lot of capital, Lehman didn't really want to go to such muddy water.

But if you can invest, it's good to make some pocket money.

As for how to shoot and distribute, the parties are noisy, it is better to directly support Paul Anderson.At least, the compromise and market vision of this product are not bad.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the "Resident Evil" series can be made into a big business of more than 2 billion with capital.

What's more, this fellow can write and direct, and will fight for conditions. He is a very mature filmmaker, and he doesn't need Lehman to help him at all. As long as he can buy tickets and get on the bus, the follow-up will be basically not bad.

But Paul Anderson didn't know.

How could he have imagined that the "Resident Evil" series would have so much potential in the future.

Just look at one or two, the global box office has just touched the threshold of 100 million yuan. Compared with the production cost of 30 to 40 million, it is still very risky to make money.How do you know that in the future, any one can easily break 100 million, and the world will fail without 300 million dollars?

Paul Anderson thought it would be successful, but he never thought it would be so successful.

It's like stealing money.

Still every sequel is grabbing.

This is also the charm of sequel movies. Once successfully operated, each work can theoretically lay a market foundation for the next production, or a rising foundation, until it is disgusted by the audience for a novel plot.

Paul Anderson was still a little unbelievable. After repeated confirmation, he demanded that the agreement be written into the contract. This made him settled and agreed to Lehman's exchange of interests.

As a result, the two initially established an alliance relationship and wanted to make the plate of "Resident Evil" bigger together.

After all, this is the cake of Shinde, with overseas capital in the front and the indigenous Wall Street fund in the back. Lehman's choice is still quite wise for him. It is true that multiple friends have multiple paths.

Trade immediate benefits for long-term benefits, no matter how you look at it, how can you not lose.

After all, the American drama market is still a bit smaller, and the era of webcasting has not yet arrived, and a large amount of revenue market is missing.

Let's put it this way, in the future, TV stations and production companies dare to launch a TV drama project of one or two billion yuan, which is the confidence brought by the tremendous expansion of the market. Now, the market simply cannot tolerate such a huge investment.For example, if you shoot "Game of Thrones," the possibility of losing money is even greater.

Any action that does not follow the development of the times is a fool.

As for why Paul Anderson is chosen, it is not something to consider at all.

Although the bulk of the project is in the hands of various capitals, the connections and channels are all Paul's coming out, or else this guy is shrewd.

So now he only needs Paul Anderson's help, arrange cooperation, and make money together happily.

In terms of risks and benefits, Lehman may still suffer in a short period of time. This is also the prerequisite for Lehman to achieve cooperation.

Make a small step first, then make a big step forward.

And Paul Anderson also thinks this matter is very operational.

Although he is a project developer, because he does not have distribution channels and sufficient funding sources, the current situation is not so good for him-he does not have to bear too much risk of failure, nor can he get matching benefits Share.

He is just a producer and investor, and his investment share is really small, and he is selling at the box office. At most, he will be given an extra box office incentive at most.

Even if he has a certain amount of deposit now, he is willing to invest more, but the share has already been set, it is impossible to invest more money.

But if it involves Lehman and a promising TV drama project, how to exchange it is another reshuffle.

At that time, the re-delineation of the card game is still uncertain.

At least, if Lehmann left this to him, it wouldn’t be as expensive as it is now. It’s superficially beautiful. He can’t compare to any capital and can’t afford to offend him. He can only make constant compromises. Maintain oneself from retreating from the poker table-without real power to support, and must not be controlled by others, at least apart from the production ability, no one else wants to listen to him.

As if he knew his thoughts, Lehman added: "Mr. Anderson, do me a favor and be a lobbyist. If you are willing to cooperate, you can come up with a charter and sit down to talk."

"Okay, I'll do this for you."

"Haha..."

...

I think that at the beginning, Lyman relied on Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures to lay a solid foundation, and relied on Warner Pictures to go further in Hollywood. Why did Paul Anderson increase his voice to fight for independence? .

"The Walking Dead" is the trap of honey. The reason is that it was born several years in advance, and I absolutely dare not to broadcast the dividends of the Internet era. Since the big head is steadily eaten by the platform of the TV station, it is introduced to several other companies. Overseas capital, harvest the investment share of the "Resident Evil" series as a stop loss-TV dramas are definitely profitable, but the upper limit is too low to compare with movies.

And the return of funds is not fast enough.

Secondly, the reason why this drama was released ahead of schedule is for the joint development of Lyman's zombie resources.

Open the market prospects of The Walking Dead with the influence of "New York City", and then use the TV broadcast of "The Walking Dead" to increase the audience base of the sequel movie "World War Zombie", thereby boosting the box office market.

Not to mention, Lyman's zombie plan is far more than this step.

It is almost certain that after this set of operations, there will be a lot of fans willing to buy it.

As long as the development continues step by step, the "Resident Evil" series may be made hotter in advance.

It really sacrifices the market potential of "The Walking Dead" in exchange for more returns.

For example, the production of TV series can win over TV stations and brokerage companies.

It is certain that the broadcasting platform takes the big picture, but he still has the right to speak whoever chooses to broadcast.

As for the brokerage company, the main role needs to be screened, and other supporting roles and dragon sets can be packaged and operated by CAA.

In the past two years, CAA has treated him well, and the two are also in a mutually beneficial relationship.

So far, getting along well.

CAA actively helped him manage his personal image and fight for benefits when working with him. Lehman was able to repay some roles, develop channels for film and television resources of its clients, and part of the benefits of project development.

Directors are not the same as actors. The former seldom use direct economic rake to make money. After all, directors don’t need to run announcements or receive business endorsements. The actor directly stipulates in the contract to cooperate with the replacement of these resources.

Therefore, there are only hidden benefits.
