If you are not close, who is willing to hand over the company's internal operations and financial relationships to others?

"I heard that Paramount Pictures has made big moves recently. It seems that the senior executives of their company have been in contact with DreamWorks. Maybe..." As he said that, he also glanced at Lehman, "If this DreamWorks join Paramount, there will definitely be big moves. Compared with Spielberg, how much resources can your studio get?" Finally, he sighed meaningfully: "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail."

Lehmann naturally understood this truth, otherwise he would not have rejected Europa Pictures' "good intention". As for his ideas, how could Luc Besson think of it? Besides, it would be better to continue to be affiliated with Europa Pictures. At least, Europa Pictures' satellite company has always been the most powerful of Mann Studio. Paramount, there are countless small film companies he supports, not to mention that he knew that DreamWorks really joined Paramount.

Unfortunately, with the vigorous development of his career, an idea called "ambition" but actually ambition entrenched Lehman's mind.

This time, he had other plans and plans to create a real production-capable film company, not like Mann Studios.

Looking longer-term, if you can obtain distribution channels, the next American version of "Europa" may not be impossible.

After all, theater companies are all a bunch of "vested interests". Do you not need excellent film sources?

Once his company can always produce relatively good works, who will not cooperate with?

Most of the so-called issuance channels are established step by step, and I have never heard of any one who completely monopolizes this aspect.

Of course, just like the United States is the six major spheres of influence of "Hollywood", sometimes, it cannot withstand the suppression, and the battle between hard power and even publicity is a lesson for film companies that ended in a bleak manner.

For example, DreamWorks.

Spielberg set up a film company just like the step every big director wants to take.

Unfortunately, he is about to declare failure and is still struggling.

Looking at history, the quality of the movies they produced is actually very high, such as "The Monster Shrek", "Gladiator", "Transformers", "Attack on the Impossible"... It is either a masterpiece of reputation, a hit Oscar, or a movie that sells well at the box office, but even so, it still cannot escape the sanctions of the six major issues.

Their overseas channels were strangled by fate and could not be established by any means. Only Lions Gate in Hollywood successfully took this step later. Lions Gate is really not short of money. The investment shareholders behind them are all very powerful in Europe. Think about it, if there is no overseas channels, no matter how you jump, you will just work for others. Compared with the investment cost of each movie, it is so high, so there is a risk. If you really have to pay for it, there is no overseas channel to recover your blood. If you take a wrong step, you will be in a deep abyss.

Later, Spielberg also figured it out. He was working hard, so why can't he feel more comfortable? He was exhausted and earned less than he was when he was just a director before.
