Chapter 490: Film Festival Trading Qualifications

“Project plan?”

As soon as he heard about the project, Luc Besson's ears stood up.

You should know that the few presents are the ones who have had the most dealings with Lehman and have also tasted the benefits of cooperation.

However, even so, he still felt that Lehman's experience in the past few years was a bit dreamy.

After all, he is also a very mature film director. He thinks he is very powerful when he can reach this point today. He doesn't know how much the price he pays, but compared to Lehman, it's not enough to watch it.

After all, four years ago, I was still having dinner under him. Without his support, I didn’t even have the funds for the movie...

However, he changed his psychology very quickly and faced Lehman's current status with peace of mind.

After all, he came here like this, the only thing that was that Lehman was more genius and faster to succeed.

The reason is naturally Lehman's production.

Not only do you have a lot of inspiration for filming, but you can also make money and make a lot of benefits.

Unlike Europa Pictures, half of which will make ten movies will lose money, and you can make some money by relying solely on the details of income and expenditure.

I am very happy to encounter those who have big box office hits occasionally.

Or in other words, most film companies are like this, the only possibility is the change in the ratio of profits to losses.

So, it’s not that the film company doesn’t make money, but that it doesn’t have such a high success rate like Firefly Pictures. If Europa had developed a project and made a project, it would have gone to Hollywood to play.

But isn't this impossible?

Even my own local business is almost intriguing. Wouldn't I seek death when I go to Hollywood, which is a tiger's den?

That's why Europa Film Group established a cooperative relationship with Firefly Pictures and wanted to obtain a stable and excellent film source supply.

"Yes. We use the profit prospects of project development to raise funds and cooperate."

"Are you able to say this?" Deni also excitedly.

He doesn't think about why Firefly Pictures is so generous now, he just wants to participate.

Yes, generous?

It can only be described as sincere.

Because the project plan states the joint development of two TV series, "Prison Break" Season 2, "The Walking Dead" Season 2, and two movies independently produced by Future Firefly Pictures jointly raised $200 million.

There is no need to introduce the two TV series projects. They are both high-quality dramas, and the latter has greater benefits, which is the kind of person who doesn’t know how to produce them to lose money.

As for movies independently produced by Firefly Pictures, there may be certain risks, but hasn’t Firefly Pictures lost before? It’s too convincing and they are willing to bet.

After all, making a movie itself is a bet.

Then why not bet on one that looks more stable?

"Would you like to come up with such a project?" Someone still wondered.

"You can think of it as an exchange," Lehman explained with a smile: "We are now limited by funds, which hinders the company's development, so we exchange future income for the current company's operations. As for what we earn in the middle, we can think of it as borrowed interest."

"But this interest rate is higher than that of a bank?"

"So, I want to ask you one more thing. I want to set up an office in Cannes to contact various film companies from the Cannes Film Festival to publish their copyrights in North America. So I hope you can help you and expand my distribution company's business a little, how about it?"

If these people didn't agree, not everyone could take a bite of the cake of the Cannes Film Festival, and perhaps even the Trading Committee could not pass.

After all, the importance of Cannes in a film festival with a transaction volume of more than one billion yuan per year is much more important than that of the Oscars.

One international, one local? It seems that there is nothing comparable, it can be seen from the number of videos participating in the competition.

Lehman's words made everyone here no longer have any doubts.

Sometimes, that's how people are.

The obvious benefit is that if there is no requirement, you will definitely feel that there is a pitfall, or you may wonder if there is any conspiracy hidden.

But if the other party has a need, it will feel that it is sincerely working together.

After all, if you want others, don’t you have to share some benefits? Otherwise, who will help you.

Then this is considered an exchange of interests, for the transaction qualification of the Cannes Film Festival - this is what business people understand.

"My Blue Die Film needs film sources. Whether it is distributing DVDs or distributing theaters, our number is low now. At least, this company cannot make money, and the balance of income and expenditure must be achieved." Lehman smiled bitterly, "But in Hollywood, I have a deep foundation, and it is difficult to participate in the business activities of the film festival. Public relations and Oscars are not something Blue Die Film can hope for... So now it is because there are not enough film sources to continue to expand the market and deepen its connections."

Most of what Lehman said now is true... However, Blue Die Pictures is not that bad either. It still has market channels in the UK. After all, they did this before, and they had many partners... But will the distribution company still dislike too many film sources?

"We know, know..." Luc Besson nodded repeatedly, "The office's problems are not a problem, but the cooperation projects..."

"Don't worry," Lehman said: "We can draw up a contract immediately. In the amount of investment and how much share these financing funds are, we will guarantee the future profit distribution. So... the proportion of your respective investments?"

"I'll pay 50 million." Luc Besson had already thought clearly and said quickly.

Well, there are five film companies present. If the principle of equal distribution is based on the principle of equal distribution, each one should be 40 million.

But, the strength comparison between companies is different, how can it be evenly average?

As expected, as the largest French local industry, Deni also said: "We can pay 80 million, but I want to report to the board of directors first."

Deni is now very confident in convincing the board of directors, so he will get the investment amount first.

The remaining 70 million will be divided by the three families, and after a dispute, they will decide their own decisions.

Lehman said again: "Then, we will ensure that we will settle the investment income of the project next year."

Several people thought about it repeatedly and felt that there was nothing wrong with this time.

After all, the project income sharing is basically half a year. Could it be that Firefly Pictures dares to swallow up the funds and refuse to repay them?

The terms of the contract are checked by legal personnel from several companies, and there are no clear areas at all, and there are no loopholes to be exploited.

Of course, Lehmann never thought about what to do on the contract, that would be too stupid.

Just as he said, why not exchange future income for the company's current development?

With a special effects company, some of its own plans can be implemented better...
