Chapter 442 "Resident Evil" Series Three
Lehman looked at Paul Anderson with a smile, thinking that he had caught a express train.
Paul Anderson lowered his head, and was still not sure about the situation.
Because there is a lot of capital behind the "Resident Evil" series, Lehmann doesn't really want to go to such a muddy water.
But if you can invest, it is still good to make some pocket money.
As for how to shoot and publish, all parties are quarreling, it is better to directly support Paul Anderson. At least, this guy's compromise method is not bad with the market vision.
With all the best, it is not an exaggeration to use capital to turn the "Resident Evil" series into a big business worth more than 2 billion yuan.
What's more, this guy can write and direct, and he will also strive for conditions. He is a very mature filmmaker, so he doesn't need to help him at all. As long as he can buy a ticket and get on the bus, the follow-up will basically not be bad in the future.
But Paul Anderson didn't know.
How could he have thought that the Resident Evil series would have such great potential in the future?
I only read one or two movies, and the global box office has just reached the threshold of 100 million yuan. Compared with the production funds of 30 to 40 million yuan, making money is still very risky. How could I know that any movie can easily exceed 100 million yuan in the future? If there is no 300 million US dollars in the world, it will be a failure?
Paul Anderson thought it would succeed, but he never thought it would be so successful.
It's simply a robbery of money.
Or is it grabbing every sequel.
This is also the charm of the sequel movie. Once it is successfully operated, each work can theoretically lay a market foundation for the next production, or it will continue to rise until it is disgusted by the audience with no novel plots.
Paul Anderson still disbelief. After confirming it repeatedly, he asked to write the agreement into the contract. Only then did he calm down and agreed to Lehman's exchange of interests.
So, the two initially established an alliance and wanted to make the plate of "Resident Evil" bigger together.
After all, this is a new cake, with overseas capital in front and Indigenous Wall Street Fund in the back. Lehman's choice is quite wise for him. It is true that there are many friends and multiple ways.
How to exchange immediate benefits for long-term benefits, no matter how you look at it, why don’t you lose money?
The American TV drama market is still a little smaller after all, and the online broadcasting era has not yet arrived, and a huge profit market has been missing.
Let me put it this way, in the future, various TV stations and production companies dare to launch TV series projects of 100 million or 200 million, which is the confidence brought by the huge expansion of the market. Until now, the market cannot accommodate such a huge investment. For example, if you invest in "Game of Thrones", the possibility of losing money is even greater.
Any move that does not follow the development of the times is a fool.
As for why you choose Paul Anderson's side, it is not something to consider at all.
Although the majority of the project is in the hands of various capitals, Paul has all the connections and channels, otherwise this guy would have been smart.
So now he only needs Paul Anderson to help me hand in the phone and arrange cooperation, and everyone can make money happily together.
Judging from the risks and benefits, Lehman may suffer losses in a short period of time, which is also the prerequisite for Lehman to be sure to reach cooperation.
Make a small step first, and then make a big step.
And Paul Anderson also thinks this matter is very operational.
Although he is a project developer, because he has no distribution channels and sufficient funding sources, the current situation is not very good for him - he doesn't have to bear too much risk of failure and cannot get a matching share of interests.
He is just a producer and investor, and his investment share is really not much, and he sells a lot of box office, and at most he can give him an extra box office incentive.
Even if he has a certain amount of deposits now, he is willing to invest more, but the share has been set long ago, so it is impossible to invest more money.
But if it involves Lehman and a TV series project with great market prospects, how to exchange it here is another reshuffle.
At that time, what about the re-demarcated card game?
At least, if Lehman gave him this matter, he would not be as rich as he is now, and he could not compare with any capital of his family and could not afford to offend him. He could only continue to compromise and barely maintain himself not to step down from the card table. Without real power support, he would not be subject to others. At least, except for production capabilities, no one wants to listen to him.
Lehman said as if he knew his thoughts, "Mr. Anderson, please do me a favor in this matter and be a lobbyist. If you are willing to cooperate, you will take out a charter and sit down and talk."
"Okay, I'll do this for you."
"Ha ha……"
...
Back then, Lehman relied on Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures to build his own foundation first, and then went further in Hollywood with Warner Pictures. Isn’t Paul Anderson’s trip also increased his voice to strive for independence?
"The Walking Dead" is a trap of honey. The reason is that it was born several years early and would definitely not dare to avoid the dividends of the Internet broadcasting era. Since the big head has been steadily taken over by platforms like TV stations, it has introduced several other overseas capital to gain investment share in the "Resident Evil" series as a stop loss - TV series will definitely make money, but the upper limit is too low to match the movie.
And it is not fast enough to recover funds.
Secondly, the reason why this drama was born early was for the joint development of Lehman's zombie resources.
The influence of "Traveling in New York" opens up the market prospects of "The Walking Dead", and then uses the playback of "The Walking Dead" on TV to increase the audience base of the sequel movie "World of Zombies", thereby increasing the box office market.
Not to mention, Lehman's zombie plan goes far beyond this.
It is almost certain that after this operation, many movie fans will be willing to buy it.
As long as we continue to develop step by step, it is possible to make the "Resident Evil" series more popular in advance.
It’s really sacrificed the market potential of The Walking Dead in exchange for more rewards.
For example, the production of TV series can win over a TV station and an agency.
It is certain that the playback platform can get the big head, but he still has the right to speak for whom he chooses to play.
As for the agency, the main roles need to be screened, and other supporting roles, supporting roles, etc. can be handed over to CAA for packaging operations.
In the past two years, CAA has treated him well, and the two are also mutually beneficial.
At present, we get along well.
CAA actively helps him manage his personal image and strive for benefits when working together. Lehman can repay some roles, develop film and television resource channels for his customers, and part of the profits from project development.
Directors are different from actors. The former rarely use direct economic commissions to make money. After all, directors do not need to go to notices or accept business endorsements. The actors directly stipulate that they should cooperate with the replacement of these resources.
Therefore, there are only hidden benefits.
