If Hollywood, where the film market is booming, is a five-star hotel, then the French film market with a market value of less than one-tenth of others is probably the kind of dormitory shop.

Just about the total box office value of each year, France is really looking up to Hollywood. As for the promotion of offline copyrights and the supporting film industry, such as studios, cinemas, etc., it is even more shabby to the point where Hollywood despises it.

Let's just say that Hollywood can produce the number of screens that can bear three first-line productions at the same time, and can also ensure that low-cost movies will not be squeezed and have no way to survive. But in France, the competition between two first-line productions will inevitably lead to both losses.

It’s fine if the theaters are not comparable, but the offline peripheral markets are incomparable. You should know that the total output value of Hollywood’s offline market has exceeded one trillion yuan, and the entire French film industry can’t compare with it.

This is also the reason why international capital is breaking into Hollywood.

Because it's so profitable.

Of course, the premise is to make money.

At present, after receiving the news from BD Pictures, Deney Bernard immediately reported to the chairman.

Their chairman started out in communication technology. He is 56 or 7 years old, but he looks very healthy.

In a spacious and bright office, Evergreen Chairman, Pierre DuPont, was listening to Deni Berdney's report.

Two older men in formal attire were also listening.

Baida has three major shareholders, and the remaining two are the only ones.

"…They are here to discuss cooperation on this trip, so there should be no false?"

"Why?" asked someone next to him.

"In the past year, Firefly Pictures has made at least $400 million in profits, which is even more profitable than our Edge. Is it beneficial to deceive us to talk about cooperation? You can't just come back just to tell a lie."

"Hahaha, that's right. Firefly Pictures is still developing fast..."

Unexpectedly, Deni was still a very humorous person. After saying this, the two shareholders present laughed.

However, Pierre DuPont did not know that Firefly Pictures is extremely short of money now, so he wondered: "They have the means to make money, why do they still come to us?"

If you want to invest, especially Hollywood projects, 90% of the laymen will definitely lose all your pants.

Even if you are ten percent of your experts, you will definitely be educated miserably.

Don't ask, it's a painful and painful history.

Because EMI was cheated by MGM that year and threw it into 30 million yuan, the movie made a big profit at the box office, but after the calculation, they lost 5 million yuan.

The reason is that there is too much publicity and distribution expenditure.

As for how many are there?

Is it not easy to make accounts?

The kind that Wall Street investment banks don't understand.

After all, they have their own promotional resources, and they turn their left hand to the right hand, and you can't prove the price you say.

Nowadays, Hollywood has done the most excessively by being able to lose money based on its ability.

In the film industry, there are too many uncertainties in the profits of projects. Take Baidai as an example. If you have a top-notch movie project, you will definitely develop it independently. Why invite outsiders? Unless it is an exchange of interests.

Businessman, seeking profit.

So it's not an international socialite...

Deni explained with a smile: "I went to find someone to investigate. Firefly Pictures has insufficient working capital, and we can pack several project platter investments. Even if they want to cheat, they still have ways to deal with it."

Pierre listened carefully, but he still felt unreliable.

If you don’t have money, you can borrow money from the bank.

With such good assets as Firefly Pictures, one hundred banks are willing to borrow... However, they didn't know that Lehman would still consider the international issuance channels that he needs to establish in the future and establish a good relationship with these international issuers first.

As for whether the project is not a project, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal. At worst, you won’t agree without a guarantee...

"Then, you can bring people to talk to them."

...

The negotiation team brought by Lehman settled down at the Grand Hotel Molia, not far from Europa Pictures.

Of course, the investment in the cocktail party was also agreed with the hotel people and asked them to help organize it.

As for Luc Besson, he also understood Lehman's little thoughts when he saw this situation.

He wants to participate in more film companies...

On the second day, the investment meeting began.

Lehman also rarely took out the specific quarterly financial report of Firefly Pictures, and went to each film project produced in detail, and then sent it to every representative of the participating company present.

There are many rich bosses in France, but they are not fools. If you want people to believe in Firefly Pictures and stimulate capital, you must show your strength.

And hard power, nothing is easier to impress investors than direct project profits.

Anyway, these people can also have a certain understanding of Firefly Pictures through their respective channels, so it is better to be honest.

After all, Lehmann never thought of cheating during this trip, and the several projects he provided could make money...

After gaining trust, Lehmann was talking to representatives of several large French film companies in the hotel banquet hall.

What I said first is naturally the reason why Lehman came here and why he wanted to attract investment.

The reason is worth verifying, that is, there is a small problem with the capital chain of Firefly Film, and it is necessary to introduce external funds to develop some projects first...

"How much investment do you need?" Deni asked.

"This..." Lehman said in a difficult situation: "In order to ensure the company's operations, we plan to raise 200 million US dollars. Well, the fundraising speed is even faster."

To acquire the digital field, at least 200 million capital reserves must be available to obtain absolute controlling stake, which was calculated early in the morning.

Lehman shook his head and continued, "I still have some things to do, and I can't stay here for long, so I need to confirm this matter as soon as possible. I wonder what you mean?"

Deni frowned slightly.

Is it so hurry up for such a big thing?

It won't be a real pitfall.

Luc Besson smiled and said, "I don't know, how is the allocation of investment profits calculated?"

"Don't worry, we will guarantee the equity of the investment share."

To be honest, if it weren't for his identity, he would be closer, more influential and reputational to this side, Lehman could have contacted Constantine Pictures.

Compared with French filmmakers, Germany is obviously more enterprising and adventurous, and richer and more capable.

Why do you say so?

Because the pay of action superstars in the 1990s, such as Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis, etc., were all speculated by German capital. At that time, in order to enter Hollywood, they invested heavily in the films of big stars and big directors at all costs, and lost money to gain publicity, so that all Hollywood practitioners could know their courage.

"By the way, this is the project plan we have come up with, you can take a look."
