Chapter 182： investment share

"Haha, so that James Wen is going to be the director too? Or are you investing?"

That night, the two sat on the bed after dinner, and Lyman told what had happened recently.

Eva Green is still very happy. Although it feels a bit sudden for his inexplicable new status, but think about it, it is a good thing after all, and the undisguised joy on her face can also see her attitude.

"How can there be so many, I'm just a name, and if I really want to be a producer, that's just catching the blind. It's fine internally, but I can't deal with the third-party regulators such as Allianz Insurance," he said. There might be a quarrel."

"Hahahaha..." Eva Green seemed very excited, overjoyed, as if thinking of such an interesting incident.

In fact, it is also true that directors hate people the most about their work, but the industry rules are there. If the third-party regulators are not satisfied, it is really difficult to do this.

James Cameron is irritable and has a bad temper, so he has to endure it.

"Stop talking about this, let's do something serious." Seeing Eva Green laughing and showing her slender figure even with clothes on, Lehmann suddenly thought of an old saying

A moment is worth a thousand dollars, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. Don't betray it.

Condemned. 35xs

"What's the serious business?" Seeing that Lehman suddenly became serious, Eva thought there was something wrong.

"It's been so long, you don't want to..."

The last two words, Lyman said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Eva Green's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, it wasn't because she was suddenly shy, but when Lyman said it, he gently bit her earlobe.

There she is very sensitive.

Don't think crooked.

...

Europa Pictures headquarters.

Luc Besson smoked a cigar, and after reading the document in his hand carefully, he said with a smile, "I see that the shooting plan written on it mentions that "The Chainsaw" will be a serialized film project. Director Man, can you be a little more detailed and talk about it?"

"Of course."

Lyman nodded, put down the coffee in his hand, and explained, "The main audience for this movie is those who love blood cult movies, and the settings of the movies here are just enough to scratch their itch, plus the big There are a lot of standard shots, which can also bring them visual stimulation and increase their enthusiasm for watching movies. As long as the first film can perform well, the follow-up development will continue to change the soup or not, and the audience's acceptance will also be good. ."

"Oh?" Luc Besson spit out a smoke ring, and after a while, it was quite fresh.

"Mission: Impossible" and "007", aren't they all like this? What the audience likes to watch, they can add whatever they want. Pretty soup is 36 degrees without dead ends, acting cool and handsome, and always inviting beautiful female stars Bond girls who joined, the continuity of this kind of film is the essence of film series. Can you imagine that "Mission Impossible" will play a different protagonist, even Xiao Lizi. Preconceived and stable factors are king, right? "

"It seems that you have a lot of research on this." Luc Besson laughed.

"If you don't do research, don't you do the same with your life-threatening express delivery? It's not like you don't understand." Laiman said angrily.

"Okay, no kidding, we at Europa Pictures are very interested in this project, so..."

Interested, Ryman thought.

"The initial budget of this film is about 8 million to 10 million, leaving a lot of salary space for the actors. As for other expenses, it is normal and reasonable, do you think?"

"Well, of course I believe you, are you the producer of this movie?"

Therefore, Wen Ziren really has a good sense of the industry. Even if he is a rookie director, he can't come up with any information or achievements, but Luc Besson is willing to invest just because of his face. Perhaps he felt that Lehmann had the bottom line for the project.

Lehmann and Luc Besson looked at each other and smiled so slightly that I was waiting for your words.

Since you want to shoot and invest, how can you do it without the support of a distribution company?

And Europa Pictures is the most critical part of this.

Under the big picture, why worry about their lack of effort, resources, and channels?

Such a series of films will be a good development opportunity for Lehman himself and Mann Studio.

As long as the core aspect of "Chainsaw" can be maintained as in the previous life, the studio will also have a facade pillar, and the serialization is quite stable.

Yes, that's right, Lehman intends to pull Wen Ziren into Mann's studio. Of course, it's not France. It's because he intends to set up a film company in the United States. It's not a grass-roots team attached to Europa Films, but a real film studio with production capabilities.

In this cooperation, as usual, the three companies will jointly contribute.

After all, it is impossible to discard the American market. In any case, in terms of distribution, without the help of local snakes like Paramount Pictures Or show in theaters.

As for why not find someone else to work with, or just go directly to Paramount Pictures and leave Europa behind? There may be such doubts, but it is not advisable at all.

But if it wasn't for both sides having demand for him, he wouldn't have negotiated terms so easily. What's more, Europa Films is really measured, and he is a French director.

Look at the revenue split for this movie.

Europa Pictures invested 2 million, accounting for 30% of the box office profits; Paramount Pictures invested 3 million, accounting for 35%; Mann Studio invested 4 million, accounting for the remaining 35%.

And Europa Pictures owns 50% of the film copyright, the same is true for Mann Studio, Paramount Pictures does not account for a little bit, but they own 40% of the offline revenue of the film within three years, Mann Studios In the same way, after three years, all the profits have nothing to do with him.

That is to say, the long-term majority is in the hands of Europa, and the short-term income Paramount is more dominant, while Mann Studio has made the most investment, but it does not have any outstanding results in these two aspects.

But, who said he didn't have any industry resources for monetization?

It is impossible to make a movie, not to show it.

He should pay the money, and he should eat the losses.

In fact, it is fair to think about it, and compared with the previous ones, the conditions are more favorable, which is a good thing.

Besides, if "Chainsaw" didn't have the strong support of the two companies, maybe the box office would hit the street. Doesn't all the plans seem like a joke?
