Legendary Hollywood Director

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

Paul Anderson lowered his head, still not understanding the situation.

Because there is a lot of capital behind the Resident Evil series, Lyman doesn't really want to go to such muddy waters.

But if you can invest, it is good to earn some pocket money.

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

Under the circumstances, it is not an exaggeration to call the Resident Evil series a big business of more than 2 billion through capital.

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

But Paul Anderson doesn't know that.

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

Looking at only one or two films, the global box office has just reached the threshold of 100 million yuan. Compared with the production cost of 30 to 40 million, it is still very risky to make money. Who knows that in the future, any one can easily break through 100 million, and if the world does not have 300 million US dollars, it will be a failure?

Paul Anderson thought it would be successful, but he didn't think it would be so successful either.

Simply stealing money.

Still grabbing every sequel.

This is also the charm of sequel movies. Once the operation is successful, each work can theoretically lay a market foundation for the next production, or it will continue to rise until the audience hates the plot without new ideas.

Paul Anderson was still a little unconvinced. After confirming again and again, he asked to write the agreement into the contract. Only then did he settle down and agree 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 a newly acquired cake. There are overseas capital in the front, and indigenous Wall Street funds in the back. Lehman's choice is quite wise for him. The truth is, there are many ways to have multiple friends.

Exchanging immediate benefits for long-term gains, how to look at it, how can you not lose money.

After all, the American drama market is still a little small, and the era of webcasting has not yet arrived, and there is a huge loss of the revenue market.

Let's put it this way, in the future, various TV stations and production companies dare to launch TV series projects of 100 to 200 million yuan, which is the confidence brought by the huge expansion of the market. At present, the market simply cannot accommodate such a huge investment. For example, if you shoot Game of Thrones, the possibility of losing money is even greater.

Any move that does not follow the development of the times is foolish.

As for why Paul Anderson was chosen, it's not something to consider at all.

Although it is said that the majority of the project is in the hands of various capitals, the contacts and channels are all run by Paul, otherwise this guy is shrewd.

So now he just needs Paul Anderson to help with the message, arrange cooperation, and make money together happily.

In terms of risks and benefits, in a short period of time, Lehman may still suffer losses, which is also the premise that Lehman is sure to reach cooperation.

Take a small step first, then take 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 very good for him - he does not have to take too many risks of failure, and he cannot get matching benefits. share.

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

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

But if it involves Lyman and a TV drama project with great market prospects, how to exchange it here is another shuffle.

At that time, it is uncertain what the redrawn game will be like.

At least, if Lehman handed this matter over to him, it would not be like the present situation, where the wealth is not rich, and the surface is beautiful. He can't compare with any capital, and he can't afford to offend him. Keep yourself from quitting the poker table - there is no real power to support, and you must not be controlled by others, at least except for the production ability, no one wants to listen to him.

Lyman seemed to know what he was thinking, and said again: Mr. Anderson, do me a favor and be a lobbyist. If you are willing to cooperate, everyone will come up with a charter and sit down and talk.

Okay, I'll help you with this.

Ha ha……

...

Back then, Lehmann relied on Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures to solidify his foundation, and then relied on Warner Pictures to go further in Hollywood. Why didn't Paul Anderson increase his voice and fight for independence during this trip? .

The Walking Dead is a trap with honey. The reason is that it was born several years in advance, and it absolutely dares not to give up the dividends of the Internet broadcast era. Since the big head is steadily eaten by platforms such as TV stations, several other companies have been introduced. Overseas capital, take the investment share of the Resident Evil series as a stop loss - TV series must be 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 the show came out ahead of schedule was for the joint development plan of Lehman's zombie resources.

Use the influence of New York City to open up the market prospect of The Walking Dead, and then use The Walking Dead to broadcast on TV stations to increase the audience base of the sequel movie Zombie World War, thereby boosting the box office market.

Not to mention, Lyman's zombie plan goes far beyond this.

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

As long as the development continues step by step, it may make the Resident Evil series more popular in advance.

It's really sacrificing the market potential of The Walking Dead in exchange for more returns.

For example, the production of TV series can win over the TV station and the brokerage company.

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

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

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

So far, they're getting along pretty well.

CAA actively helped him take care of his personal image and strive for benefits when cooperating, and Lehman could repay some roles, develop film and television resource channels for his clients, and part of the income from project development.

The director is not the same as the actor. The former rarely uses direct economic commissions to make money. After all, the director does not need to run announcements or accept business endorsements. The actor is directly stipulated in the contract to cooperate with the replacement of these resources.

So, there are only hidden benefits.
