In the spacious conference room.

The afternoon sun shines in from the floor-to-ceiling window.

The management teams divided into two rows were listening carefully.

A very good picture.

Everyone smelled something.

When Lehman issued these two notices, many people were planning their own plans.

Gains and losses, benefits, future?

At this time, Joseph, who had basically not spoken, suddenly asked: "Then, the production and distribution business have been separated. If there are these two companies, what status should the parent company be? Who should hold the position in it?"

Lehman looked at Joseph in surprise and found that Joseph looked calm, but there was only a little desire in his eyes.

As one of the former management teams of Columbia Pictures and the president of the British branch, he did a very good job at Firefly Pictures and deserves his value.

"However, it is not a good thing to be promoted too early. There is no way to be promoted. In ancient times, people would have been beheaded." Leman muttered in his heart.

Only Joseph's status and prestige can be the first to say these.

Maybe Liam wanted to ask, but he probably had some concerns because he entered the high position.

"I will arrange it." Lehman didn't want to say so much, and smiled and changed the topic: "It's just convenient for management, and you still need to do more business to be in charge."

Of course, he did this more than that.

He has been thinking about the failure of Dreamworks for these days.

A powerful film and television company that has no shortage of works, talents, connections, and channels is just killed.

Although there is a certain internal discord and the three giants have their own concerns and cannot work together, the main reason is that they do not have enough stable sources of funds.

Just like Time Warner stands behind Warner, behind the Lions are many European giants and big bankers like Guzman, who will not get hurt by a few failures.

And second-tier companies like Lehman and DreamWorks are not necessarily the case.

There are always risks in making movies.

In history, there are countless movies that have been closed for an investment production company.

A movie "Cutting the Throat Island" directly tricked Carlok, an independent production company with a box office record for several consecutive years, until it went bankrupt, and was finally acquired by MGM at a low price;

A "Cleopatra" almost shut down the 20th Century Fox, and its capital chain broke. It only took the company's building to recover by selling its studio;

A movie "Gate of Heaven" also led to the bankruptcy of United States Film Company and was soon acquired by MGM...

If "Travel in New York" is too poor, Firefly Pictures will lose its working capital. In addition, Lehman still owes Guzman more than 108 million US dollars, and maybe he will ask for bankruptcy protection if he fails. This is really unsafe.

So Lehman’s real idea is that after the company grows, it can cross-exchange control and equity through Mann Media, so that it can use the method of running the subsidiary to list, obtain funds in large quantities, and it is easier to find a more sufficient source of funds.

But these don't need to be too explained.

......

When several matters were determined, the first enlarged meeting slowly ended.

After Joseph was blurred and perfunctory, he said nothing and left quickly.

After the meeting, Lehman pulled Ryan for a separate communication.

Due to the restructuring of assets, the equity held by the two has changed again.

Among them, the shareholders of "Firefly Pictures" are Lehman and Ryan, who hold 51% of the controlling stake, and Ryan is 49%; while "Blue Butterfly Entertainment" is held by Lehman, with a proportion of up to 95%, while Ryan is only 5%; Mann Media is Lehman accounting for 73%, and Ryan accounts for 27%.

Ryan didn't quite understand such a complicated setting, but out of trust in Lehman, he also signed the contract.

In the witness of the lawyer, all information is registered.

After leaving the building rented by Blue Die Entertainment, in the underground parking lot, Lehman smiled and said to Ryan: "Maybe in a few years, you will have more money than your dad."

Ryan's father counts fixed assets, and there are about 400 million yuan, and the benefits of several factories and clothing stores are very good.

"Come on step by step. I think the entertainment industry is too watery. The market value depends entirely on whether anyone is willing to spend so much money to buy it. There is too much room for the copyright of those movies to float up and down." Ryan was worried that Lehman would not lay a solid foundation, so he thought about expanding.

In his mind, there are only a few places in their company that are not premium.

If there is a real bankruptcy liquidation, it is high for 200 million yuan.

Unfortunately, the overall environment is like this, and all entertainment industries are inflated.

Just like the valuation of Internet companies, there are no fixed assets at all. If someone is optimistic, it is valuable. If no one is optimistic, how much money can the so-called idea be worth?

But this is how the times develop.

Where can anyone who sells a company to make money by making money?

One night myth is not something that can be achieved through industry.

......

Driving the car, Lehman took Ryan back to the Firefly Pictures building as usual.

After looking at the financial statements, I got another copy of the Los Angeles Daily.

With the beginning of Christmas, most industry insiders have always focused on the film market at the end of the year.

In early November, Pixar Animation Studios took out another movie "Superman Special Attack Team", which occupied the whole family market as soon as it was released.

As an animated movie that focuses on young age without losing interest, it is very suitable for parents to take their children to watch.

The film mainly tells the story of the great Superman Mr. Ba Bob reappearing after retirement.

The five-year issuance contract established by Disney and Pixar Studios is a huge profit.

It has only been released for more than a week, and the cumulative box office in North America has exceeded 170 million, which is not much the same as the trend of "Finding Nemo" launched last year. It is both animated films that are expected to win a box office of 300 million.

Moreover, in terms of the international market, the cumulative box office of the three days of its release reached US$45 million.

It set a new record for the international box office of Pixar animation in one fell swoop.

Disney, as the publisher, is terrified of laughter. Pixar Studios produces popular products every year, but most of the profits are held away by Disney every year.

What is this?

What is a working emperor? That's it.

The media is also crazily building momentum for "Superman Special Attack Team", hoping that the local box office will exceed 300 million.

In mid-November, the action adventure movie produced by Touchstone Films, which was produced by Nicholas Cage, who regained his position from "The Bad Guy", also started its premiere.

Cage naturally called a few days in advance to invite Lehman to support him.

Lehman is still very interested in this commercially successful work.
