Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 612 Multi-contact



Time entered March, and Lyman began to work on the later work of No Country for Old Men.

On the other side, when the number of Prada screens was reduced to less than 1,000, and the share of the film arrangement was also scattered, Mubao and Lionsgate naturally shifted their power to promote their own project films.

As time went on, Prada had fewer and fewer screenings.

On the contrary, the total North American box office is close to 150 million.

And this joint action of the three families can be described as great joy.

This kind of good project will be concentrated on one vote. After the transaction is completed, they will leave without any hesitation. In the end, it is convenient to share the profit according to the investment and resource investment.

Liam has always felt that this model is very promising, which greatly makes up for the inadequacy of Blue Butterfly Pictures in terms of publicity and the degree of theater competition.

He also calculated a detailed account for this: after forming a temporary joint alliance, the movie profit of the project provider can be increased by 1 to 20%.

Inside Firefly's office.

Lehmann looked at a North American market statistical report, and after a rough reading, he asked Joseph: Which one is the best for the overseas market of Prada?

After the movie was released, Joseph thought about this issue, especially when he had a bad relationship with Warner and Paramount.

Judging from the market performance in North America, the overseas prospects are very bright, and Joseph's focus in recent years has been on maintaining daily operations and financial management for the company.

Boss, Joseph said slowly, the overseas market has already formed a pattern. If there are no accidents, the six major operations will be the best, because only they have the manpower and network to maximize the benefits, even if the commission is higher. But which one should I choose, I think Paramount and Warner can be left out a little bit. Don’t start with these two.”

Well... Lehmann nodded, It is absolutely impossible to expect to return to the deep cooperative relationship in the past. It is necessary to prepare again.

Once there is a gap in this relationship, no matter how to remedy it, there will always be some different thoughts.

Lehman is also less enthusiastic about these two companies, because he knows very well that these guys are turning their faces faster than the other. This still does not involve the core interests, but the fireflies are too strong and they are suppressed.

Can I invite the rest of them? No, I'll also invite Warner and Paramount to participate. Lehman suddenly changed his tune.

Joseph nodded slightly, Yes. It's more beneficial for us to hold a more open cooperation negotiation. However, they seem to be in a group even if they don't form a group. If the requirements are too much, the remaining few will still turn their faces. At that time, our situation will be even worse. Awkward.

Lyman was silent.

This is just a very simple analysis. It is precisely because Firefly has interests with Warner and Paramount that it has caused uneven interests and filth to a large extent.

Of course, the world is as black as crows. Who can be sure that Fox and Universal will always be willing to balance the interests of all parties and take no stand? This is obviously not possible.

It is estimated that the Firefly project is in their way, and they will still be ignored.

After all, this monopoly cannot be broken for a while.

It's the same with whoever you cooperate with, you can only pray that there will be no conflict - who would be foolishly willing to sacrifice themselves and subsidize others all the time?

We still have to see each other. Lehman said solemnly: In the future, the relationship with all parties cannot be completely deteriorated. With a little combination of interests, we must be able to go on. Right now, the most important thing is The development of fireflies themselves.

Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible to invite six major executives and TV station executives in the back garden of the Hilton Hotel to discuss cooperation.

Also, invite Jon Feilmei over here too. He came here a few days ago to discuss the announcement, so he must be free, Lehmann said suddenly.

Joseph was taken aback, but nodded anyway.

Although he didn't know what Lehman meant by letting the Lionsgate executive participate?

I didn't think it needed to be taken seriously before.

Can the so-called temporary alliance become permanent? Does Lionsgate have that strength, and they don't have a global distribution channel, aren't they all trapped?

However, it is of course impossible to ask about this kind of thing in detail. The boss arranges it in his own way. As a subordinate, all Joseph can do is to find a suitable topic invitation.

Also, tell Liam, let him do his best in the digital realm, Lyman added.

Well, Joseph is getting more and more confused.

However, Lehmann's idea is very simple.

Lionsgate definitely has the ability to become an ally, so it is pulled in ahead of time; as for the digital field, such a special effect company must be indispensable for future big moves, which just makes Blue Butterfly Pictures familiar with special effects work.

......

Lyman invited everyone at this time, and the timing was very clever.

First of all, everyone who knows it knows that this is to demarcate cooperation matters. After all, Prada has been shown for so long, and the work of overseas distribution has not yet been promoted. Even fools know that it is profitable.

The few families who received the invitation obviously didn't have any scruples, and they agreed very happily, and everyone even knew that it was Lehman's intention.

The next afternoon, the banquet was held as scheduled.

There's good food, good wine, and the right amount of live piano music.

The atmosphere of everything is so appropriate.

Then Lehman showed up and greeted him warmly.

After a polite communication, everyone present knew that the next was a meat show, so they were refreshed and focused on facing it.

But they each have small calculations in their hearts. Studios such as Fox and Universal, which have rarely dealt with Firefly, are thinking: If you don't take advantage of it, you must be a bastard. As long as we listen to your requirements, we are afraid that cooperation will suffer. ?

After all, no matter what, the distribution channels laid by overseas markets for many years are quite complete, and Firefly does not have such distribution capabilities, so it is not dependable.

——The rules of the game are like this. The monopoly mechanism also determines that the six majors have nothing to fear. They are not afraid of the rise of independent studios. Perhaps these companies are eager to provide more high-quality film sources to reduce production risks.

Although they belong to various interest groups and relationships, after all, the Big Six are members of the top Hollywood system, and it is difficult for anyone to limit who.

Lehman looked at the familiar faces around him who were smiling but were actually in high spirits and were preparing for a reasonable exchange. Knowing that these people were all preparing to fight for the benefits of the project, he felt amused.

The so-called alliance of these people is not broken at the touch of a button.

No one is in the same mood, or is the pressure not enough?

Everyone also knows that the screening of Prada is still going on, and yesterday it was able to get 3.28 million box office, so today I want to talk about the overseas distribution of the film, and everyone can make an offer.

There was a commotion coming down, and everyone thought: With the North American performance of Prada, at least overseas can get no less than the domestic box office results.

Therefore, everyone can come to this banquet because they have the determination to win the overseas distribution copyright of this movie-a project that can make a lot of money, this reason is enough to make a trip.

25% of the overseas commission, the publicity fee is not included in the cost, how? Soon, MGM, who made the first quotation, took the lead in saying.

We in Colombia can also provide a consistent distribution plan, or, 40 million buy out the overseas distribution rights.

Everyone wasted no time in quoting each other, but they were generally maintained within a range that was not considered a loss.

Lehman lightly pressed his hand, Cooperation is not temporary, just wait for a reserve price.

It is obviously more suitable to negotiate in private than to negotiate on the table, and it is also more conducive to Firefly to raise its status and take the initiative.

Anyway, the project is in hand, and it will not run away.

Later, Lehmann reconfirmed with the executives of HBO and wb TV stations to ensure that the project development will not miss the screening cycle arranged by each company. signal.

His step is really good.

In a corner of the back garden, Shirley Lansing sighed inexplicably.

It is a good way to resolve the crisis so easily, and pull a few more companies on the backhand.

Fortunately, after Paramount digested DreamWorks, it is not so short of film projects.

After the banquet, everyone went back to their homes, and the overseas work on Prada has just begun...
