In a simple office decoration.

The smoke is shrouded in smoke, just like a fairyland on earth.

"President"

Matt Cohen, the then director of the marketing department of Europa Films, put down the cigar in his hand, gently knocked it off, shook off the ash, and spoke with a little deep meaning and as if careless: "Mr. Luc Besson, I heard that the company has a new project? Has that director Lehman made a lot of work recently? Not only did he have a filming plan, but he could also make some investments. He is really capable."

When Luc Besson, who was sitting opposite him, heard this, he naturally understood that there was something in it.

Let’s talk about his identity first. Putting aside the position of marketing department director, there are several shareholders behind Matt Cohen.

After all, if you run such a big film company, of course you have to convince the public. How can one person have the final say?

"I am sure that I can be so powerful, so I have a sense of my heart."

Luc Besson paused, as if giving the man opposite him some room to think. He put the cigar in his mouth and slowly took a bite with pleasure, then he said.

"I said before that since the company has chosen to establish a project, it is naturally a company's plan. Why, do you think Lehmann is not good? Or is there something wrong with the company's decision?"

"No, no, no." Matt Cohen immediately shook his head and denied: "In the past two years, everyone has seen the achievements of director Lehman. How could I not believe him? Besides, the whole company agreed with these unanimously, of course I have no objection."

No objection?

Haha, it's a lie.

Luc Besson saw through and said nothing, and continued to perfunctorily: "Then is there anything else you come to me today?"

Matt Cohen smiled and held the cigar in his mouth and said, "It's something. I think the conditions we gave are too good, and it seems to be harmful to the company's interests."

"The global box office of "Bad Guy" has exceeded 600 million, do you know?" The smoke vomited, but he murmured to himself.

This was a ignorant statement, and the following text was not followed. Matt Cohen frowned when he heard it.

The two looked at each other, each with deep meaning.

"Oh? Is that right? I'm a little less concerned about this aspect, and I've just learned about it today."

Europa Films' investment share is not high in the "Saw" project, so there are naturally people who have objections to it. However, what Luc Besson did not expect was that the board of directors behind it seemed to have some opinions.

Just look at who the person who came to ask was.

Do you really think he doesn't understand anything?

Today, the slightly larger film companies have quite complex internal personnel relations and equity distribution.

Even if Luc Besson is the biggest wave of power on the surface, he can be the masters of the country, even if he has a good vision, he can find good projects for the company, discover new talents, and even create profits continuously.

But there will still be other ideas.

Wealth is touching and it is always difficult to satisfy.

"The company only accounts for 30% of the box office revenue, which should be a little less."

"How could it be? Some profits don't have to take risks. What else do you want to have such a good thing?" Luc Besson looked at the opposite side and smiled indifferently.

"So you're quite satisfied? I'm thinking too much." Matt Cohen continued: "Then I won't disturb your work..."

He put out the cigar, said a few polite words, and said goodbye and left.

Watching the office door close again, Luc Besson's smile gradually calmed down until it disappeared.

Looking at a company's financial statements for the first half of the year on the table.

The numbers above are actually very good-looking. Some people always think that it is not enough, and maybe they think it can go further.

I have a good idea, but my mind is not very good.

It's hard to turn.

Although they are issuing companies and are at the top of the industrial chain, what's the use of without downstream supply? It's not in vain.

It would be fine if their company's manufacturing department was strong, just like Disney now. Even though the live-action movie business has not been able to rise, relying on its own background, the market share among the six majors is still strong.

But does Europa Pictures have these? Isn’t it? It’s so big that it’s so big, until I think too much.

If you lack good works and don’t carefully win over capable directors, will you really develop well and have a lot of confidence?

Don’t you know that in the entertainment industry, talents are not worse than channels?

He tried hard to maintain the cooperative relationship between the two parties, but there was still someone behind him. Just this, Luc Besson really wanted to curse.

A good director isn’t an alternative industry resource?

You can make money, make a lot of money, and you can try to squeeze hard.

What are you thinking? Is it true that Europa Pictures is not working together?

Is there anyone in this world who can’t get along with profits?

Or is it that with Lehman's current qualifications and status, would he lack investment in film companies?

He knows how to behave properly, but why does his company produce stupid products instead?

You see, Lehman has mentioned particularly excessive conditions? Which time is not to strive for it properly, and to stop when it is better, and to be willing to express goodwill?

Which time was not his final compromise, just for the continued cooperation between the two parties.

In fact, Lehman is afraid of trouble, and he doesn't want to delay the shooting progress due to a small disagreement, so he always makes concessions calmly at the last negotiation moment and above his own bottom line.

But in Luc Besson's view, this is to release goodwill and to be a manifestation of knowing advance and retreat.

Moreover, as a director, he can understand how great Lehman is, both prolific and market-profitable.

Like himself, he often works out a work in two or three years, which is also the norm for most directors in the industry.

After all, is it rare to think, and it is even more rare to turn it into reality and gain the audience's love.

What reasons do you have to cherish cooperation with such talents?

In his opinion, some people have their butts and their ideas are nonsense.

In order to fight for power and profit, even the obvious facts can be thrown away for the time being and pretending to be invisible is also amazing.

Luc Besson put out the cigar, put it away carefully, stood up, and paced back and forth in the office thinking about his thoughts.

After a while, I picked up the phone and called my assistant.

"Notify the company's senior management to hold a meeting at 1:00 p.m.," he looked at his watch, and it was around 10 a.m., so he ordered.

"Okay." The assistant nodded and quickly informed the meeting news.

He sat back on the office chair, frowned slightly.

It seems that it is necessary to clean up the board of directors. There are too many shareholders and many people and many ideas. How can this work?

It just so happened that the company's performance was good in the past two years, and many people were more willing to support him. Whether it was a repurchase or other means, they could always sort it out.

For the future development of the company, he can no longer allow too much noise.
