The importance of distribution channels to the film and television production industry is self-evident.

It is said that you can always use a low investment and relatively small risk, but you can share one-third or even half of the profits of a movie. Anyone will be jealous of it.

Inside the office.

Lehman was still thinking, smoking a cigarette silently.

Johnson talked in detail about the second way to establish it.

With several companies with channels on their backs, they are much better off building along their path than starting from scratch.

Just like Lismanvish Film, it took more than four years to understand the national theater resources and offline markets from scratch. If it were them, it would definitely not take so long.

After listening for a while, Lehman suddenly said: "If you win over the management and enter the market, can you get another shareholder out?"

"It's a little difficult." Johnson was stunned.

Lehman said again: "It seems that some strong support is needed."

Johnson thought about it and saw that Lehmann wanted to acquire Lismanvish Pictures, so he didn't say anything.

He felt that he only had half of the shares, which was better than the current situation.

Otherwise, if you really want to build it yourself, it will definitely cost less, but the time cost is too high and it will take a lot of energy.

Lehman was still thinking, and had some plans in his mind, but now he didn't want to tell anyone. He stood up and tidied up his clothes, then squeezed the cigarette butt, and said, "Go and eat."

Hearing the word "eat", Johnson nodded and followed Lehman out.

......

At night, return to the mansion in Beverly Hills.

Lehman sat quietly on the sofa alone.

Eva received an endorsement and went to France to participate in the brand promotional activities.

And since he came here, things have happened all the time. Unexpectedly, he stopped a little, and carefully calculated that this would be the case.

He has been tempted by channels for a long time.

There are only 20 or 30 film companies on the market that can be distributed across the United States, and more of them are those who do not have enough film sources and go to operate offline markets.

After all, if you can’t release a few movies throughout the year, it will be of such use as a channel.

Perhaps, we can start from this aspect.

Lismanvish Pictures doesn’t make much money in the channel area.

I couldn't sleep all night, and the next day I was welcoming hard work.

In just one week, Thomas changed from being excited and excited to being exhausted and complained.

Anyone who has read the material dozens or hundreds of times will do this.

It’s not enough to just look at it, but you will still think about how to cut it. You will still look at it after cutting it.

Repeat this way, and the re-cutting will be completed.

There are more than 800 minutes of material, and after cutting it, there are more than 120 minutes left.

Next, you have to insert a suitable soundtrack while continuing to cut it.

Delete some extra shots to make the rhythm of the video more overall.

In addition, during this week, Johnson also made some influence on Lismanvish Pictures under the deliberate momentum of Lehmann.

Such a film company, if shareholders want to sell their shares, it is the source of internal disorder.

Needless to say, the management is all thinking about what impact this matter will have.

Will new shareholders point fingers at their jobs and will there be any changes in their positions?

These are all things that are difficult to explain.

And Johnson is also very slippery.

While negotiating with others about the transfer of shares, he led the headhunter company to directly contact the management and test their ideas.

Either induce, coerce, or comfort.

In short, let’s give them a clear idea first and explain their purpose.

We also tried every means to attract the leaders of various regions of the entire issuance channel.

After a while, the news that Firefly Pictures was about to acquire shares became more and more popular. Of course, Johnson passed it according to Lyman's order.

During the negotiations, Lehman gave Johnson a certain degree of autonomy and also gave a lot of funds to lobby management.

Finally, after a tug of war, 40% of the shares transferred were calculated to be worth 600 million to Lismanvish Films, which required 240 million to be taken.

This money is very large, and people do not accept illicit funds to pay them out, nor do they accept phased payments.

Otherwise, another shareholder would be able to eat it, because he didn't have so much cash, but he couldn't wait for so long to buy a plastic mold factory.

Regarding this acquisition, Joseph, the chief executive of the Executive Department, came to persuade him several times, saying that the company's development was a bit urgent and he was afraid that the foundation would be unstable.

Lehman smiled and comforted her, listened to her words, but did what she did.

Finally, even his friend Ryan came over to discuss: "Will there be any problems with spending money like this?"

Lehman looked at Ryan, but did not answer, instead asked, "Ryan, if you spend all your money and need to borrow money from the bank, would you agree?"

Ryan said indignantly: "I must have always supported you if I say anything."

Lehman smiled, patted Ryan on the shoulder, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s better not to provoke an army to ask for punishment.

"Don't worry, I know it."

Ryan still can't understand Lehman's thoughts. If he cannot set up channels as soon as possible, no matter how Firefly Pictures develops, it will be stuck by others.

Furthermore, there is a limit on film production, and I have never heard of any film company that can rank high without any distribution channels and gain more market share.

In this way, building early and late always requires your own channels.

I finally waited for a chance to intervene, but did I watch it slip away?

He was unwilling to start from scratch from the bottom of his heart, and that would only be the lowest choice. Unless he could not acquire a suitable issuing company, he would not take the last step and spend a lot of time and energy to cultivate personnel to adapt to the market.

Moreover, he wanted more than that.

Let Johnson take over the equity for sale first and have the right to speak. Maybe Lismanvish Films will become the situation they want.

Soon, Lehman's actions had some effect.

Although many people are interested in this equity transaction, the reason for the funds is that Johnson contacted earlier and tested his intentions. If nothing unexpected happens, the final transaction should be acquired by Lehman.

The management did not turn against each other immediately, but also released their goodwill.

It is not realistic to expect a group of adults to be impressed by language when the situation is unclear, but what Lehman wants is also very low in conflict, and just be able to maintain a little neutrality and not favoritism to recognize either party.

Where is the focus of the TV series business and distribution business, the company is also part of Lehman's calculation.

Moreover, another shareholder is originally a home in the TV drama industry. I believe that the management of the distribution department will make the right choice.
Chapter completed!
