Legendary Hollywood Producer

The next day, after the lawyers of both parties confirmed that they were correct, Manhai Entertainment and HBO TV signed a trial contract for "The Punisher".

It clearly stipulates that HBO does not enjoy the copyright of "The Punisher", but can obtain half of the profits of the offline home entertainment market after deducting various costs and taxes after the TV series can be broadcast.

Of the total profit, Manhai Entertainment also distributes 15% to CAA. In this way, Roman’s offline distribution only makes 35% of the profit.

It's okay, anyway, Roman doesn't expect much revenue from this TV series. If you really want to make money, making movies is obviously more useful.

Roman's expectation is whether the broadcast of this TV series can add fire to the superhero market and make the Marvel copyright in his hand more valuable.

Up to now, the film and television adaptation rights of Marvel's somewhat famous superhero characters are in the hands of Roman. For this reason, Manhai Entertainment has spent more than 40 million US dollars on this. Of course, this is not the case for the copyrights of the superhero characters sold by Marvel to the six major Hollywood hands. Those who can't get back with a dollar, the price to pay is too great, and Roman can't help it.

"Is there any time for the scheduled trial screening?"

In the meeting room of the HBO TV station, Roman, who had signed the contract, asked Mr. Horsman.

"Next Sunday, we will arrange the first episode of "The Punisher" to be released, and we will update one episode every week thereafter. In the meantime, we have to check the feedback on the market effect, and then decide whether to renew the subscription."

"Is it starting next week?" Roman asked in surprise: "Don't you need to save time for publicity?"

Today is the 2nd of the week, and there are only 12 days in the middle of the next week, so the time is inevitably a bit too tight.

Horsman glanced at Roman, and patiently explained: "The TV series we are currently broadcasting on HBO TV will be over on Sunday next week, and we just have the prime time to show "The Punisher" in the evening. If the market reaction is OK, then It’s time to directly take over the TV series on Sunday."

"As for the publicity issue?"

Horsman went on to say: "Our HBO TV station is different, and users are very dependent. Basically, we will watch our TV station at a fixed time. The prime time of Sunday night can definitely attract a lot of viewers to watch, and then according to their reaction. , You can know whether this TV series is suitable for airing."

"Also, we will first mention "The Punisher" in the hot TV series. Of course, we will also organize an internal filming session. This is also very helpful for us whether we are willing to renew the subscription. Great relationship."

Roman nodded, and Horsman made it clear.

The trial screening does not need to be very grand, as long as the audience who subscribed to HBO TV station is satisfied with the show, then the subsequent broadcast situation can be determined.

"We will organize an in-company filming after the meeting. Will Mr. Roman stay here to see the effect?"

"Well, I have time today, so let's stay and have a look."

Roman also really wants to know what HBO insiders say about the show.

Then, under the organization of Horsman, a filming meeting began...

HBO often engages in such activities, and everyone is used to watching movies.

On the left seat in the middle of the aisle, Larks saw Blair sitting next to him, greeted him quickly, and then asked, "Do you know which TV series is going to be shown?"

"You don't know, how would I know." Blair said with a smile: "I just came, and I haven't heard anything."

"Then you can only find out if you look at the specific content."

Blair echoed: "It's going to start, let's take a look."

The overhead lights slowly turned off, and the TV series began to show.

At the beginning, it was the shaping of the actor's "punisher".

Under the interpretation of Joe Boenser, the image of a former special forces fighter still emerges.

As soon as I watched the beginning, Lax’s attention was drawn to the TV series. The fierce protagonist, gangsters, gunfights, and killings are all eye-catching factors. With the addition of the director's shooting, a TV series with hot action scenes appeared.

Taking advantage of his free time, Lax's gaze turned from the faces of the people watching the movie and found that everyone was concentrating on watching the TV show.

It is estimated that these people, like his thoughts, also think it is a well-produced TV series.

The background setting is brilliant, and the protagonist who has embarked on the road of "violence with violence" for his family, incarnates as a punisher, specifically for the guilty, to send them to see God early.

Although the plot design is not smooth enough, the fighting scenes are very bonus points, which can be considered to make up for this weakness.

In general, it is still very attractive, and it is estimated that the audience is also willing to accept such a wonderful TV series.

When the film was about to end, Horsman rubbed his eyes, and he had a good sense of this TV show.

Judging from his years of experience in the industry, after this TV series is released, the results are absolutely not bad.

It seems that Sunday's schedule can really be accepted.

This TV series is very valuable and has a great chance of success.

"What do you think of this film, Blair."

After the content was screened, Lax couldn't help asking.

"Very good, very interesting." Blair commented: "As long as you are guilty, you must be punished. The setting is great. The characters are so jealous and even sick that they are very novel. The actors are also very successful and have great market potential. Not less."

The film-watchers present exchanged their opinions with each other, and most of them recognized the excellent production of the TV series.

When the lights came on, Horsman stood up and said, "What do you think after watching it?"

"Great."

"It's great."

"Very good TV series."

Everyone expressed their appreciation.

Hosman was more satisfied after listening to it, and this TV series is indeed good in his opinion.

"Mr. Roman, is there any more confidence now."

Roman who was watching all this all the time replied: "I have always been confident in it."

The movie will be over, and the TV series "The Punisher" has also begun to promote. HBO will edit a little short film like the trailer and put it on the hot TV series as a promotion. Although I don’t know how effective it is, it does it after all. The role of waterfall light can be considered to leave a little impression on the audience.

Anyway, after watching the film on HBO TV, the overall evaluation is quite good, which also proves that this TV series has potential. As for the situation after the trial screening, it is better to wait for the audience to decide.

Roman can't help anymore. After seeing the preview, he went back to Manhai Entertainment.
