Legendary Hollywood Producer

While Roman was thinking about the company's next development direction, at the same time, HBO TV was also discussing the follow-up broadcast of "The Punisher".

In a minimally decorated office, Horsman is reporting to the chairman of the related screening work.

"... Judging from this data, we can start negotiating the follow-up production of "The Punisher"."

The chairman nodded slightly. This premiere result is enough for HBO TV to take its official broadcasting copyright.

"I agree to this matter. I will call the Finance Department to act with you later."

"Okay, Mr. Chairman."

Horsman can only decide on the trial screening of the TV series on HBO, and can't intervene in the formal purchase and broadcasting work. This part has always been arranged by the chairman himself.

After getting his approval, Horsman was ready to contact Roman, and signing a formal broadcasting contract earlier is the most important job at present.

Saying goodbye to the chairman, after leaving the office, Horsman called as soon as possible to arrange a time and place to meet with Roman.

The time is 2 o'clock this afternoon, and the place is in the reception room of CAA headquarters. Hosman, Roman and CAA all hope to reach cooperation as soon as possible. This is a win-win-win.

CAA is the home court of Kevin Howen, and he is also responsible for the meeting.

At about two o'clock, Roman arrived there on time.

Horsman and Kevin Hoween are already in the reception room.

"Let's meet again, Mr. Hosman." Roman said hello as soon as he entered the door.

After the trio finished their courtesy and took their seats one after another, the negotiation of the TV series "The Punisher" began.

"Does Mr. Roman have any plans for the content planning for the season of this TV series?" The person who asked was Horsman.

Knowing this is of great help to him in arranging follow-up broadcasting matters and adjusting the schedule.

"My plan is to have 13 episodes in a season, and the content of the feature film will be controlled at the same time as the number of trial episodes, which is about 25-30 minutes."

Horsman nodded, it seemed that Roman had already arranged it.

"Then let's talk about the rights to broadcast the remaining 10 episodes." Hosman said directly after changing his voice: "We are willing to pay 40 million US dollars to buy out the copyright for subsequent broadcasts on our TV station."

40 million dollars? Roman considered Horsman's condition in his heart.

When they filmed the first three episodes of the show, they spent US$3 million, which on average was US$1 million per episode.

There are still 10 episodes to play, and it will cost about 10 million US dollars to shoot. Of course, it is impossible to calculate this way. The actual shooting is estimated to be a little lower than this cost. After all, the early running-in is a lot of work. , If the shooting goes smoothly later, it will save a lot of money.

But the filming of this drama should not be less than the cost of 8 million US dollars, which is completely estimated by Roman based on his career as a producer in the past few years. After staying with so many crews and getting used to the cost of filming, this data should be pretty much the same. Roman has such confidence.

So if HBO is willing to spend 40 million US dollars to purchase broadcasting qualifications, after deducting the cost, there will only be more than 32 million US dollars left.

There is also the payment of a bonus to the director and the main post-production staff, and the share of the CAA packaging service is also included.

In this way, Manhai Entertainment estimates that it can make a profit of more than 27 million US dollars in this project.

Not bad, after all, this TV series will enter the offline home entertainment market after it is broadcasted on HBO TV station, where some profits can also be made.

After finishing the calculation silently in his heart, Roman smiled and said, "I am very satisfied with the price, Mr. Hosman, if it is confirmed that it is correct, the contract can be signed."

Kevin Hoween on the side is also calculating his own account. In fact, he can't get involved in this matter, but they need to use their CAA for the shooting, so there is a little weight in this project.

Under the witness of the lawyer, Roman again signed a specific broadcast agreement with HBO TV station.

After signing the name and stamping the official seal, the contract is protected by law.

The three parties are very satisfied with this result.

HBO TV station paid a sum of money to get a boutique TV series that can be scheduled. Good film and television resources are even more important for paid channels like them. Only when they are recognized by the audience can the TV station continue to operate for a long time.

As for Manhai Entertainment, you can get a sufficient amount of capital immediately, and a steady stream of long-term profits in the subsequent offline home entertainment market.

HBO gave the money very quickly. When signing the contract, Hosman said that the money would go to Manhai Entertainment's account tomorrow.

Not to mention CAA. The shooting and production work are all arranged by them. They can reap a profit and indirectly win over the actors and production team. After all, is it the opportunity they provide? Thank you for sure. And they also participated in the profit sharing link of this TV series. Although the proportion is not high, it should be understood that they did not pay a penny in the middle, and they also provided jobs to their contractors, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

"..."

After the three of them signed the contract, they became more calm and relaxed.

After sitting and chatting for a while, Horsman and Roman left one after another.

Just when Roman arrived in the underground parking lot and was about to drive away, Horsman found him again.

"Roman, do you have time? Let's talk?"

Although he was puzzled that Horsman didn't say it when he was in the reception room just now, and had to come and talk to him now, Roman still did not reject his proposal.

Seeing that Roman had intentions, Hosman said again: "Get in my car, let's find a place to talk."

"Ok."

Pulling the door, Roman got into Horsman's car.

He drove a black Cadillac with few interior decorations. It was extremely simple and clear, but the comfort was still acceptable.

Horsman drove intently, and would chat with Roman from time to time, but all he said were homely and polite. Obviously he didn't plan to tell Roman the purpose of this trip in the car.

After converging the traffic flow, after driving for some distance on the right side of Queen's Road, the car turned into Central Avenue.

After driving forward for a while, Horsman parked his car next to a well-decorated restaurant.

"Here, how about I treat you to authentic Italian food? Does it suit the taste?"

"Well, the Italian food is pretty good." He expressed his meaning in a brief and concise manner.

Later, Roman followed Horsman out of the car and went to the restaurant next to him.
