Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 490: Film Festival Trading Eligibility

"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 Lehman, and he has also tasted the sweetness of the benefits of cooperation.

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

After all, he is also a very mature film director. He thinks that he is very powerful to have reached this stage. The price paid in it is unknown, but compared to Lyman, it is not enough to watch.

After all, the man was still eating under him four years ago. Without his support, he wouldn't 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 came here in the same way. The only thing is that Lehmann is more talented and his success is faster.

The reason, of course, is Lehman's output.

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 Pictures, if you make ten movies, half of them will lose money, and you can still make some money just relying on the details of income and expenditure.

Occasionally, I can meet big box office hits, and I'm very happy.

Or most of the film companies are like this, the only possibility is the change in the ratio of profit and loss.

So, it's not that the film company doesn't make money, but it's not like Firefly Pictures has such a high success rate. If Europa is also developing a project to earn a project, he would have gone to Hollywood to play.

But this, isn't it impossible?

Even their own local business is almost meaningless. Wouldn't it be courting death to go to Hollywood in Longtan Tiger's Den?

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 use the profit prospects of project development to finance cooperation."

"According to this?" Denis also excitedly said.

Now he has absolutely no idea why Firefly Pictures is so generous, just how 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's benefits are even greater.

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

After all, making a movie itself is a gamble.

Then 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 the 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 the various film companies from the Cannes Film Festival and distribute the copyrights of their works in North America, so I hope you can help me when the time comes. Second, let my distribution company expand a little, how about it?"

Without the approval of these people, the cake of the Cannes Film Festival would not be able to be eaten by anyone, and perhaps even the trading commission would not be able to pass the test.

After all, for a film festival with an annual transaction volume of more than one billion, 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 present no longer have any doubts.

Sometimes, people are like that.

There are 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 behind it.

On the other hand, if the other party has needs, they will feel that they are sincere 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 the businessmen.

"My Blue Butterfly Films needs film sources. Whether it's releasing DVDs or releasing theaters, our current number is low. 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, in which how much the financing funds are invested and how much they occupy, we will guarantee the distribution of profits in the future. Then...the proportion of your respective investments?"

"I'll pay 50 million." Luc Besson had already thought clearly and said quickly.

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

But, the strengths of companies are not the same. How can they 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 in persuading the board of directors, so he also gets the investment quota first.

The remaining 70 million will be divided among the three families, and after some quarrel, they will each decide.

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 drafting contract have been checked by the legal personnel of several companies, and there is no unclear place, and there is no loophole to be drilled.

Of course, Lehman didn't even 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...
