Legendary Hollywood Director
Chapter 389 Pros and Cons
Los Angeles, Burbank.
Less than a few hundred meters from the central square of the town.
One after another, commercial buildings rose from the ground.
It is almost surrounded by gathering areas related to the film and television industry.
Office on the third floor of a building.
There were seven or eight people sitting or standing.
It is the management of Lismanwish Films, but the atmosphere is a little quiet at the moment.
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked and pushed open, and a middle-aged white man with glasses came in, his hair was a little sparse and his face was a little tired.
After entering the door, seeing this situation, he also chose a seat to sit without saying a word.
His actions attracted the attention of many people.
Immediately someone asked: How is it? How is the negotiation?
The person who spoke was Michael Joy, the general manager of the Los Angeles area, who was in charge of the distribution of the entire area; the second person who just came in was David Nathan, the second-in-command of the group. The management structure of most of the distribution channels of the film industry.
Others, like Nevada, Ohio, Alaska, Utah…
The channel managers in these regions are not as good as California in terms of status or real market share.
Furthermore, the establishment of the channel site is the two people's hard work and slowly perfected.
Based on this alone, the two are also veterans.
But conquering the world is easy, defending the world is difficult.
Originally, they still had ambitions, and maybe the distribution department would take the top position in all departments of the company, and the right to speak would be greatly increased.
However, the production department is not strong enough, and the film industry has not been able to open the situation. The distribution department has no performance support. Many film companies are reluctant to take the risk of releasing their projects to Vish Films for distribution and operation.
Soon, everyone can only eat the leftovers left on the market.
One day, one day.
When you want to do something but can't do it, that's what it is now.
Fortunately, new shareholders are about to enter, and a group of people see hope.
One of them glanced at the silent Michael Joy and said, Do you know the rumors outside?
Acquisition?
Well, we're talking.
I heard that the person who wants to buy is Firefly Pictures?
They've had a lot of limelight this year.
People's production ability is strong. It's not like us. If you make a movie, you can't get 10 million. It's all given to the TV drama department. Someone complained.
David Nathan also sighed, Is our company experienced in TV dramas, and they are reluctant to take risks. Furthermore, we have failed several times, so we must not have that much confidence.
Who said it would be successful in making a movie. If you don't want to take risks, what distribution channels are you going to do? Just cut out the movie one size fits all to save trouble.
Don't talk about it. David Nathan rubbed his eyes, sat and thought for a while, absent-mindedly.
The competition within the company has long been showing signs. After improving the distribution channels, it has not brought enough expected income to the company, and the resources are more and more inclined to the TV drama department.
Ugh......
Just when the distribution department was worried about the future direction,
The company's two major shareholders are also in talks.
This film industry can also be regarded as the hard work of the two.
It's just that the former pays more money and the latter contributes a little more.
The former is named Austin Hunter. He has a small family and wants to sell his shares in exchange for supporting upgrades of his own electronics factory. He is a businessman, and stepping into the film industry is purely an investment behavior.
The latter is called Charles Digg. Since his youth, he has been working in the film and television industry. He has worked as a small laborer, a casting director, a field manager and a crew manager. He has a good network in the industry. I went to Hunter and started a small film and television company, specializing in the production of some TV stations and helping them shoot film and television dramas. Occasionally, they will make their own independent productions and sell them to TV stations for screening.
Therefore, he is the real manager of this company.
But at this moment, he only felt angry and angry, and he felt that Hunter betrayed their friendship.
Regarding the sale of the shares, Hunter did not even discuss with him in advance, so he spoke outside.
Basically, they are ignoring him.
Although, more than 90% of the funds spent by the film company in the early stage were supported by Hunter.
Why don't you tell me about the transfer and sale of shares? Charles suppressed his temper, but he was still a little cold.
Tell you, can you take out this money? Hunter looked indifferent.
The film industry is in an unexpected depth. Seven or eight years have passed, but still can't make a lot of money. Hunter has already lost his patience.
In his opinion, it is definitely safer to return to the electronics manufacturing industry that he is more familiar with now.
As for the money, of course Charles can't get it.
Over the years, although the profit has been increasing, the annual profit is around 30 to 40 million excluding expenses and staff wages.
I still have to share some profits with Hunter, and I also need to invest some money. I also need to maintain my own life, such as a house, a car, etc. The limit of 20 million in savings is the limit. Even if you add real estate, it is estimated to be 1 100 million. Not even half of it.
After a few words of cold talk, Hunter invited the negotiating team brought by Johnson to meet again.
Leaving Charles slammed the notebook on the table in the office.
He was really upset. Not just being ignored.
When Hunter was there, he seldom bothered about the company's operations at all, but kept his eyes on the finances.
This kind of power is likely to cease to exist in the future. A real knowledgeable person came to intervene, how could Charles not be angry.
Vish Films started from TV series, and in the company, it is also because he has been sticking to this area.
As for the movie, and even the distribution channel, Hunter developed it after referring to the opinions of some people and thinking that it could be developed.
I can't do it now, I just want to sell it.
Also said that the market saturation is not enough, to open up new markets.
Think about it, it's all an excuse.
Charles is middle-aged, but has a bad temper.
And this emotion in my heart is also based on a very sober helplessness.
Hunter has the most equity in his hands.
But he is so short-sighted, and only regards Vish Films as a tool for profit.
Once it didn't meet expectations, he immediately switched camps, and he was simply a pig teammate.
As a result, Charles's prestige has also continued to decline throughout the film company.
Not to mention the panic inside the company, even he himself can't stabilize and can't see the way forward.
It's a pity that although he was angry, he didn't dare to really offend Hunter. After saying a few angry words, he still had to walk around with others and try to save something.
At this time, the assistant made an internal call and came in, President, Mr. Lehman from Firefly Pictures is visiting you.
Who?
Mr. Lyman-Last.
Fxxx.
