Hollywood legendary director

"Project Plan?"

As soon as he heard about the project, Luc Besson's ears stood up.

You know, the few people present are the ones he has had the most dealings with Lehman, and they have also tasted the benefits of cooperation.

However, even so, he still feels that Lyman's experience in recent years is a bit dreamy.

After all, he is also a very mature film director. He thinks he is very good to be able to get to this point. The price paid in it is unknown, but compared to Lyman, it is not enough.

After all, four years ago, people were still eating under him. Without his support, they would not even have money for the film...

However, he changed his mentality very quickly, facing Lehman's current status very safely.

After all, he came here in the same way, the only thing is that Lehmann is more talented and succeeds faster.

The reason is naturally Lehman's output.

Not only is there a lot of inspiration for filming, but you can also make money, and the benefits are not small.

It’s like Europa Pictures, if you make ten films, half of them will lose money, and you can make some money purely on the breakdown of income and expenditure.

Occasionally, I can meet a box office explosion, I am very happy.

In other words, most film companies are like this, the only possibility is the change in the ratio of profit to loss.

Therefore, it is not that the film company does not make money, but that it does not have such a high success rate like Firefly Pictures. If Europa is also developing a project to earn a project, it will go to Hollywood to play it.

But this is impossible.

Even if you have your own local business, you almost mean it. Isn't it going to the Hollywood of Longtan and Tiger's Den to find death?

Therefore, Europa Pictures will establish a cooperative relationship with Firefly Pictures in order to obtain a stable and excellent supply of film sources.

"Yes. We use the profit prospects of project development to finance cooperation."

"According to the above?" Denis also excited.

He doesn't even think about why Firefly Pictures is so generous now. He just wants to get involved.

Yes, generous?

It can only be described as sincere.

Because the project plan is written to jointly develop two TV series, the second season of "Prison Break" and the second season of "The Walking Dead", as well as two independent films produced by Firefly Pictures in the future to jointly raise 200 million US dollars.

There is no need to introduce the two TV drama projects. They are both high-quality dramas, and the latter has greater benefits.

As for the independently produced films by Firefly Pictures, there may be certain risks, but Firefly Pictures has never lost it. They are too convincing, and they are willing to gamble.

After all, making a movie is a gambling.

So why not bet on one that looks more stable?

"You are willing to come up with this kind of project?" Some people still wondered.

"You can think of it as a kind of exchange," Lehman explained with a smile: "We are now limited by funds, which hinder the development of the company, so we exchange future earnings for the current company operations. As for what we earn in the middle, It can be regarded as interest borrowed."

"But this interest is higher than the bank?"

"Therefore, I would like to ask you one more thing. I would like to establish an office in Cannes to contact the various film companies from the Cannes Film Festival and distribute the copyrights of their works in North America, so I hope you can help by that time. Second, how about letting my issuing company expand its business a bit?"

Without the approval of these people, not everyone can take a bite of this piece of cake at the Cannes Film Festival, and perhaps even the trading committee will not pass.

After all, the importance of Cannes to a film festival with an annual transaction volume of more than one billion is, to some extent, more important than Oscar.

One international, one local?It seems there is nothing comparable, as can be seen from the number of films participating in the competition.

Lehman's remarks made everyone here no doubt worry.

Sometimes people are like this.

The obvious benefits, if you don't ask for it, you will definitely feel that there is a pit, or you will wonder if there is some conspiracy.

And if the other party has a need, it will feel that it is sincere to cooperate.

After all, if you want to ask others, can you not share some benefits?Otherwise, who will help you.

Then this is regarded as an exchange of interests, in order to qualify for the Cannes Film Festival-this is the understanding of businessmen.

"My Blue Butterfly Pictures needs film sources. Whether it is to release DVDs or to release theaters, our current numbers are low. At least, this company can't make money. It has to achieve a balance of payments." Lehman smiled bitterly. "But in Hollywood, my roots are not deep, and it is difficult to participate in the business activities of the film festival, and the public relations Oscar, that is not what Blue Butterfly Pictures can expect... So now I am suffering from not having enough film source channels to continue to open. Expand the market and cultivate contacts."

Most of what Lehman said now is true... However, Blue Butterfly Pictures is not so miserable. It still has a market channel in the UK. After all, they did this before and there are many partners... But, the publishing company Do you still dislike too many film sources?

"We know, we know..." Luc Besson nodded repeatedly, "The office problem is not a problem, but the cooperative project..."

"Don't worry." Lehman said: "We can immediately draw up a contract. How much of these financing funds will be invested and how much will it occupy, and we will guarantee future profit distribution. So... what proportion of your respective investments?"

"I pay fifty million." Luc Besson had thought clearly and said quickly.

Well, there are five film companies present. If the principle of equal distribution is adopted, it should be 40 million each.

However, the strength comparison between companies is different, how can it be average?

Sure enough, EMI, as the largest domestic industry in France, also said: "We can give out 80 million, but I have to report to the board first."

Denis is now very confident to persuade the board of directors, so it is also the first to get the investment quota.

The remaining 70 million will be divided among the three, and after some disputes, they are also set separately.

Lehman added: "Then, we will ensure that the investment income of the project will be settled next year."

Several people repeated their calculations, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this time.

After all, the project income is divided into accounts for more than half a year, is it possible that Firefly Pictures dare to swallow the funds and not return it?

The terms of the drafting contract have been checked by the legal staff of several companies, and there are no unclear places, and there is no possibility of loopholes.

Of course, Lehman didn't think about doing anything with the contract, which was too stupid.

As he himself said, why not exchange future earnings for the company's current development?

With the special effects company, some of my own plans can be better implemented...
