There was a slight sense of moisture and coolness floating in the air.

It was raining heavily outside, and the quietness in an office in Colombia was suddenly broken.

"President."

Distribution Department Manager Gareth Antoinette walked to the position of executive Carlos a few steps away with a concern on his face, wanting to report the news he had just confirmed.

Carlos put down his affairs until his subordinate stood for a while before he raised his head and said leisurely: "What's wrong?"

"It's about the "Twilight" project." Gareth was a few years older than his boss, but he could only be respectful in front of Carlos, "but he asked those film manufacturers clearly."

......

Lions Gate began to expand its overseas business in 2005, but before it was released, it was always hiding its strength. It handed over its own film source and gave up the project benefits. In addition, it never invested in movies with a large budget, and gradually it was ignored.

People abide by the rules.

"This is the information I have collected."

Gareth handed over the documents in his hand.

Carlos took it, and after only two or three breaths, his mood became unhappy.

Think about it, last week was the day when paintings were flooded in the Dark Knight. The records set by Colombia's most proud Spider-Man project were all broken by Warner's "Dark Knight". Then, the main creator Toby Maguire's agent asked for a higher salary, and director Sam Remy was difficult to serve. Because of the film contract issue, the results of the Spider-Man series are not very consistent with the salary received by the main creator, and there will definitely be disputes.

A bunch of troubles was not solved, and then I encountered the incident of the Lion Gate again, and the already bad mood suddenly surged up.

"Okay, OK, OK."

Carlos threw the information in his hand to the ground and laughed furiously, "It's the case with one or two. If you really don't have the support of the company, you can play around. Now, you will suspend all your cooperation with the Lions Gate, and you will suppress the project funds. In addition, when you go to visit Jon in person, you will ask him what he is thinking?"

This is like a mid-level student discussing what school to choose for the college entrance examination.

The modesty of studying in the middle of the school is barely a second-tier university, and the poor student expressed his envy.

But in a blink of an eye, the man in You really barely got a second-tier exam. When he found out that he went to Qilu Science and Technology, he even changed his name. He was nakedly deceiving...

Of course, this incident has little impact on Colombia.

At best, Lions Gate is just a slightly higher-end film source provider. The two companies only cooperate in overseas businesses and do not take all of them.

But under the current situation, Columbia's production business has improved in recent years - the total box office of North America launched by Columbia Pictures since 2007 has officially exceeded US$1 billion, becoming the fourth film company to reach this number this year. The first three are Disney Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Paramount Pictures.

The parent company gave the management great praise for Columbia Pictures' box office revenue this year, and the dividends at the end of the year are definitely not bad. You should know that in 2002, Global ranked sixth in production business, and even the junk MGM could not compare with it. It has made great progress in just a few years.

Doesn’t this prove the correctness of his leadership?

However, on the other hand, it seems that it is appropriate to make some achievements with a strong channel dealer like Sony, after all, it is not the first in the market. Fortunately, Sony's senior executives only take a fancy to the past film and television copyright library and have not had that high requirements for the increased film source in recent years. However, the boss does not speak, which does not mean that I cannot put myself in my shoes.

Due to the merger of MGM, the two companies have a great overlap in the production field, and resource allocation is a big issue and is related to dominance.

That's why they need to make achievements and prove the value of Colombia.

Capital competition is cruel, no one wants to get out, especially enjoying the supreme scenery.

But what about now?

The Lions Gate's move brought a bad start.

Although there is constant competition among the five major groups, Christmas dogs will be motivated every summer, but this does not affect their desire to let others reach out overseas. It doesn’t matter if they don’t cooperate with me, don’t grab the cake.

This is a disguised monopoly, a monopoly that is well aware of.

The higher the market in the North American market, the more the studios make, and the more money they make, it is very simple. The bigger the pool, can it produce more water?

Therefore, the attitude must be clearly stated, and you cannot tolerate it, and you will be very angry.

It’s not that you can’t make money or make movies, but why do you break the rules?

“I have some ideas.”

Gareth, who had not spoken until his boss had finished venting his emotions, said, "Maybe the Lions Gate is well prepared."

He reminded him tactfully.

The impostor is a foregone conclusion... Oh, no, secretly contact overseas publishers...

There are still routines for the Lions Gate.

The European market is a company and another company in Asia. I had no contact, but it was suddenly acquired by Lion Gate Holdings at the same time, and Lion Gate's intention was exposed.

From this perspective, Jon Felemay is not like a person without a plan and will choose to be impatient for a moment.

Carlos covered his forehead.

He remembered the attitude of Jon Feleme in the past, and the friendship between the two, and felt that he was deceived by this honest man - but he didn't expect that a distribution network could not be built. Everyone contacted publishers from all over the country, so why did he give up the profits of the project that he had finally produced?

Furthermore, people are fighting locally, like China Film and Television, who is the German Constantine Film Company working with? They are also directly penetrated into Hollywood.

Everyone is seeking change and wants to gain more say.

......

Lionsgate Pictures.

Jon Felemay seemed to have endless energy to keep calling, asking about work progress or issuing orders, and has completely lost his usual calm appearance.

He is indeed very prepared.

Immerse yourself in it, and don’t feel tired.

If he can take this step, it will be worth his years in charge of the Lion Sect and finally achieve something.

Who would really be satisfied with the previous fights?

In his vision, after this battle, the Lions Gate business was upgraded, so that the financial owners behind him could be satisfied and his career was realized.

As for whether you are sure?

If you haven't watched the finished film of "Twilight", you may still be a little worried, but after the internal trial a few days ago, you have to do something even more.

Youth, love, magic...

All the elements that are selling well without cultural barriers are well integrated, how can they not succeed?

In addition, the original novels are sold well in many countries, and the foundation of book fans laid is also the source of confidence in Lions Gate.

Furthermore, Paramount, Sony, and Universal are all foreign capital, why can’t the Lions Gate do? They have long been aligned. As long as they can quickly calm the situation and make the truth, the Lions Gate will have the confidence to gain a foothold.

For this reason, Lionsgate has accepted the platter funds from Wall Street investment banks. In addition, the funders come from Australia, the UK and other places and have connections. What can’t be accepted?

Of course, if the Lions Gate itself cannot do it, those people must be happy to see the Lions Gate’s failure and then find a chance to swallow it.

This battle is only allowed to win, not lose.

The senior executives of Lions Gate reached a consensus and invested more resources in the promotion of "Twilight".

The relevant promotion and distribution strategy is also very simple.

It is to release news about project adaptation around the popularity of the novel, and then hype up the leading actors, attracting book fans and arousing the interest of passers-by.

This day.

Gareth visited Jon and the two talked badly.

Then, Colombia suddenly announced that "Loch Ness Monster: The Legend of Deep Water" was scheduled to be held on September 21, facing the Lions Gate.

Originally, Colombia did not want to use this trick of killing the enemy and self-destruction, but the Lions Gate was indeed well prepared and had strong financial reserves. In addition, it was too late to communicate with overseas publishers now.

What should I do? Try the depth.

So, the project to be screened in December - a work invested by Revolutionary Pictures. Colombia is responsible for giving out a medium-sized project to be released to try its strength. If it can be won, it will naturally dispel the Lions Gate's momentum. If it doesn't work, it is not invested by Colombia anyway, so the loss is not big.

Of course, this move really made the Lions Gate a little nervous.

The reason why they set the schedule for the end of September and October is naturally that the theaters do not schedule any threatening projects, which are mainly small costs. Even if the audience base is smaller, they can still make a difference with the market itself.

The other party suddenly raised the stage and there were several other companies watching the show silently, which undoubtedly increased the risk.

However, the Lions Gate always needs to prove that they have the strength to share the cake. If they don’t fight, they have to fight. If they don’t fight now, there will be conflicts.
Chapter completed!
