Legendary Hollywood Director

While Lehmann was still waiting for the news of the payment, while staying at the hotel, the production director of Paradiso Family Entertainment was happily meeting the company's president.

Paradiso Pictures is a typical French film company, and it has a certain presence in the entire European literary and artistic circles.

To be honest, the French Caesar Awards have their works shortlisted almost every year - the French Caesars are analogous to the American Oscars, of course, the influence is a bit less.

Therefore, what their company is best at is making literary and artistic films, and the first two years of Amelie are their home.

Because I have made good friends with many literary directors, during this time, the production department has been looking for projects everywhere.

...

Director Jacques is planning to make a movie recently, and he still needs investment...

Forget it, I have already planned to invest the money in Lehman, and the company will not participate in the production for a while.

Huh? Don't make it?

Hearing such a remark from the literary and artistic thought leader pursued by the company, the production director was extremely stunned, and even did not know how to speak for a while?

How do we go about doing business, aren't we artists?

If you don't make a movie, the company...

The president waved his hand, Hi, it's alright, it's okay to take a break.

Hush, rest?

You didn't say that before, but you also said that you should support local directors a lot.

Do you know how much Lehman's project can make? The president suddenly said with great momentum: I went to the financing reception the day before yesterday, and invested 30 million... By the time the money is returned next year, it will at least double.

Is it really that easy? the supervisor asked uncertainly.

Of course, the president thought, you should know what the company's financial report was last year? They only released three films of Firefly Pictures, but they made 30 to 40 million at the box office, even in the offline market. Their share is a little less, and that’s a lot of value.”

Thirty or forty million!

The president is called a remorse. He hates how he was fascinated by the honor of the award and didn't go to win over Lehman? Which film company with a bit of strength can't give an investment of 10 to 20 million yuan?

Really so many? The supervisor swallowed.

Can a movie be watched by tens of millions of people as well as by millions of people? The more popular it is, the more valuable the movie is...

Of course, Lehman's vision for investing in works is good, and what he has come up with is a huge profit margin, which is commonly known as low cost and high profit.

In short, Paradiso Films has been busy from beginning to end of the year, constantly negotiating with famous directors in the industry, and earning more profits than a popular movie.

Such a wealth effect is in front of you, and you can still feel it, so how can you not be tempted?

Perhaps Paradiso Family Entertainment had a heart to promote the development of the French film industry in the past, but with the passage of time, the difficulties and distresses of the company's operations have long since changed.

So, when Lehman brought the project to raise financing, he missed an investment opportunity before, how could he miss it again?

Then... Director Jacques... I managed to catch up,

His films are guaranteed all over Europe, many critics love his work, maybe the next Amelie.

It doesn't matter, whoever likes to invest will invest, anyway, the company has no money to invest this quarter, and it's still a literary film. And he spends a lot of money, and he has no constraints, and it has to work hard to make it. Even if If it works well, it may not necessarily make money, and the uncertainty is too great.”

However, the supervisor still said, We have always had a good relationship with him. If we reject him directly, I don't know if there will be any chance of cooperation in the future.

If it's gone, it's gone. The president said indifferently: We are not short of good directors, but we are short of directors who can bring stable profits to the company. Europa Pictures can overwhelm us, and the latecomers will take the lead. Isn't it because they are better at the box office?

This... is not right.

The supervisor feels that when he wakes up, the company has changed.

Why do you still speak for Luc Besson? I used to say that he was a speculator, unworthy of being a director, and tarnished the reputation of French cinema.

Why is there still a sense of dissatisfaction now - is it dissatisfied that Europa Pictures has caught up with Lehmann?

Then I'm going to reject Jacques' new project now?

Yeah. The president shook his head and said, I understand it. Without the support of commercial films, literary films have an unstable foundation. Hollywood has such a strong momentum, isn't that what it is? If they can make money, they will naturally have spare resources to support them. Literary and artistic works, not to mention the prosperity of the market, can also attract more capital investment, and the prospects of the industry will only get better and better.

Moreover, it can also be said that it is a critical moment for the company’s transformation. If you follow the path of Lehman, there will be no possibility of continuing cooperation in the future, and you will be able to intervene in the Hollywood market, maybe there will be some opportunities…”

Well, it turned out to be the idea.

The supervisor already understood what was going on. He must have participated in the financing reception and saw how much money making movies can make, so he decided to put the money on Firefly Pictures...

If you end up soaking in the soup and the investment fails, why don't you get sulky again?

What is a co-director aside? Paradiso Home Entertainment has many partners yet. It’s a big deal that the financial road is blocked. If you don’t seize the opportunity, you will not be able to keep the status of the French mainland.

Alas, the supervisor sighed in his heart.

Capital is indeed the root of all evil, and even people like our company who despise movies for profit can be corroded - it may also be that there is no such condition before, and commercial movies are not profitable, so it is better to return to the field that you are most familiar with.

President, the supervisor didn't have the heart to think about how difficult it was for him to work on this new project. He also wanted the company to save a fortune and better provide financial support to the production department, I will follow the instructions below. The employees explained that no projects will be developed for the time being.”

Okay, the president nodded with relief, this is our first time dealing with Lehman, so we must not delay things.

Well, everyone will understand. The supervisor thought to himself: Even if you don't understand, it's useless, our company is about to become the second Europa Films, and it's hypocritical.

...

The signing ceremony on the afternoon of the next day went well. After repeated inspections by various companies, Layman, on behalf of Firefly Pictures, signed the one-year financing project plan.

The five film companies are responsible for the investment, with a total amount of 200 million yuan. Firefly Films is responsible for the operation of the project. After making a profit, the principal will be returned to calculate the income of each company.

Of course, this also means that the majority of Firefly Pictures' production of the two TV series in the next year will be divided up by other parties, basically nothing to them, and even the two movies will get very little, but it's all worth it ...
