Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 490: Film Festival Trading Qualifications

Project Plan?

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

You must know that the few people present are the ones he has dealt with the most with Layman, and he has also tasted the sweetness of the benefits of cooperation.

However, even so, he still feels that Lehman's experience in the past few years is a bit dreamy.

After all, he is also a very mature film director. To be able to get to this stage, he considers himself to be very powerful. The price paid in it is unknown, but compared to Lyman, it is not enough to watch.

After all, four years ago, the man was still eating under him. Without his support, he would not even have the money for the movie...

However, he changed his mind very quickly, and he faced Lehman's current status very safely.

After all, he also came here in the first place. The only thing is that Lehman is more talented, and the speed of success is faster.

The reason, of course, is the output of Lehmann.

Not only does the film have a lot of inspiration, but also can make money, and the benefits are not small.

It's like Europa Films, if they make ten movies, half of them will lose money, and they can make some money purely on the income and expenditure details.

Occasionally, I can meet a big box office hit, and I am very happy.

Or most of the 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 it is not like Firefly Pictures has such a high success rate. If Europa is also developing a project to make a project, he would have gone to Hollywood to play.

But this can't be done.

Even their own local business is almost meaningless. Isn't going to Hollywood in Longtan Tiger's Den to seek 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 are financing the cooperation based on the profit prospects of the project development.

According to this? Denis also excitedly said.

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

Yes, generous?

It can only be described as sincerity.

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, and the two films independently produced by Firefly Pictures in the future will 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. They belong to the kind of people who don't know how to make them.

As for the film independently produced by Firefly Pictures, there may be certain risks, but Firefly Pictures has never lost, it is so persuasive that they are willing to gamble.

After all, making a movie itself is a gamble.

So why not bet on one that looks more stable?

Are you willing to come up with this kind of project? Someone still wondered.

You can see it as a kind of exchange, Lehmann explained with a smile: We are now limited by funds, which hinders the company's development, so we exchange future earnings for current company operations. As for what we earn in the middle, It can be seen as interest on borrowing.”

But this interest rate is higher than that of the bank?

so,

I would like to ask you one more thing. I want to set up an office in Cannes to contact various film companies from the Cannes Film Festival and distribute the copyrights of their works in North America. How about expanding the business of my publishing company a little?

Without the approval of these people, not everyone can take a bite of the cake of the Cannes Film Festival, and maybe even the trading committee will not be able to pass the test.

After all, for a film festival with an annual transaction volume of more than one billion yuan, Cannes is more important than Oscar to a certain extent.

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

Lehman's remarks made everyone here no longer have any doubts.

Sometimes people are like that.

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 needs, they will feel that they are sincerely willing to cooperate.

After all, if you have something to ask for, shouldn’t you share some benefits? Otherwise who will help you.

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

My Blue Butterfly Films needs film sources. Whether it's releasing DVDs or releasing theaters, our number is low today. At least, this company can't make money, and it has to make ends meet. Lehmann smiled bitterly. But in Hollywood, my foundation is 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 hope for... So now it is suffering from not enough film source channels to continue to open. Expand the market and cultivate deep connections.”

Most of what Lehmann said now is true... However, Blue Butterfly Pictures is not so miserable. It still has market channels in the UK. After all, they used to do this before, and there are many partners... But, the distribution company Would you still dislike too many sources?

We know, know... Luc Besson nodded again and again, The problem of the office is not a problem, but the cooperation project...

Don't worry. Lehman said: We can immediately draw up a contract. How much of these financing funds are invested and how much share they occupy, we will guarantee the distribution of profits in the future. Then...the proportion of your respective investment?

I will pay 50 million. Luc Besson has long thought about it and said quickly.

Well, there are five film companies present, and according to the principle of equal distribution, it should be 40 million each.

However, the strength comparison between companies is not the same, how can it be average?

Sure enough, EMI Pictures, as the largest company in the French local industry, Denis also said: We can give 80 million, but I have to report to the board of directors first.

Denis is now very confident to convince the board of directors, so he also gets the investment quota first.

The remaining 70,000,000 were divided among the three families, and after some disputes, they were settled on their own.

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

A few people thought about it over and over again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this time.

After all, the project revenue is basically divided for more than half a year. Could it be that Firefly Pictures dared to swallow the funds and not pay it back?

The terms of the draft contract have been checked by the legal personnel of several companies, and there is no unclear place, and it is impossible for there to be loopholes.

Of course, Lehmann didn't think about doing anything in the contract, that would be too stupid.

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

With a special effects company, some of your own plans can be better implemented...
