Chapter 389： pros and cons

Los Angeles, Burbank.

It is less than a few hundred meters from the central square of the town.

One after another, commercial buildings rose from the ground.

This area is almost surrounded by gathering areas related to the film and television industry.

An office on the third floor of a building.

Seven or eight people sat or stood.

It is the management of Lismanwish Films, but the atmosphere is a little quiet at the moment.

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked and pushed open, and a middle-aged white man with glasses came in, his hair was a little sparse and his face was a little tired.

After entering the door, seeing this situation, he chose a seat to sit without saying a word.

His actions attracted the attention of many people.

Immediately someone asked: "How is it? How is the negotiation?"

The person who spoke was Michael Joy, the general manager of the Los Angeles area, who was in charge of the distribution of the entire region; the second person who just came in was David Nathan, the second-in-command of the group. The management structure of most of the distribution channels of the film industry.

Others, such as Nevada, Ohio, Alaska, Utah...

The channel managers in these regions are not as good as California in terms of status or real market share.

Furthermore, the establishment of the channel site was slowly perfected by these two people.

Based on this alone, the two are also veterans.

But it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend the world.

Originally, they still had ambitions, maybe the distribution department will take the top position of all the departments of the company, and the right to speak will greatly increase.

However, the production department is not strong enough, and the film industry has not been able to open the situation. The distribution department has no performance support. Many film companies are reluctant to take the risk of releasing their projects to Vish Films for distribution and operation.

Soon, everyone can only eat the leftovers left on the market.

One day is a day.

When I wanted to do something but couldn't do it, it became the current situation.

Fortunately, another new shareholder is about to enter, which gives a group of people hope.

One of them glanced at the silent Michael Joy, and said, "Do you know the rumors outside?"

"Acquisition?"

"Well, we're talking."

"I heard that the person who wants to buy is Firefly Pictures?"

"They have made a lot of limelight this year."

"People's production ability is strong. It's not like us. If you make a movie, you can't get 10 million. It's all given to the TV drama department." Someone complained.

David Nathan also sighed, "Is our company experienced in TV dramas, and they are reluctant to take risks. Besides, we have failed several times, so we must not have that much confidence."

"Who said it would be successful in making a movie. If you don't want to take risks, what distribution channels are you going to do? You can directly cut the movie piece all over the place to save trouble."

"Don't talk." David Nathan rubbed his eyes, sat and thought for a while, absent-mindedly.

The competition within the company has already begun. After improving the distribution channels, it has not brought enough expected income to the company. The resources are increasingly inclined to the TV drama department.

Ugh......

Just when the issuing department was worried about the future direction, the two major shareholders of the company were also discussing.

This film industry can be regarded as the hard work of the two.

However, the former pays more money and the latter contributes a little more.

The former's name is Austin Hunter, and his family has a small family. It is also that he wants to sell his shares in exchange for the supporting upgrade of his own electronics factory. He is a businessman, and stepping into the film industry is purely an investment behavior.

The latter is called Charles Digg. Since his youth, he has been living in the film and television industry. He has worked as a small worker, as a casting director, as well as in field management and crew management. He has a good network in the industry. I went to Hunter and started a small film and television company, specializing in the production of some TV stations and helping them shoot film and television dramas. Occasionally, they will make their own independent productions and sell them to TV stations for screening.

Therefore, he is the real manager of this company.

But at this moment, he only felt angry and angry, and he felt that Hunter betrayed their friendship.

Regarding the sale of the shares, Hunter didn't even discuss with him in advance, so he spoke outside.

Basically, they are ignoring him.

Although, more than 90% of the funds spent by the film company in the early stage were supported by Hunter.

"Why don't you tell me about the transfer and sale of shares?" Charles suppressed his temper, but he was still a little cold.

"Tell you, can you come up with this money?" Hunter looked indifferent.

The film industry is at an unexpected depth. Seven or eight years have passed, but he still can't make a lot of money. Hunter has long lost his patience.

In his opinion, it is definitely safer to return to the electronics manufacturing industry that he is more familiar with now.

As for the money, of course Charles can't come up with it.

Over the years, although the profit has been increasing, the annual profit is around 30 to 40 million excluding expenses and staff salaries.

I still have to share some profits with Hunter, and I also need to invest some money. I also need to maintain my own life, such as a house, a car, etc. The limit of 20 million in savings is the limit. Even if you add real estate, it is estimated to be 1 100 million. Not even half of it.

After a few words of cold talk, Hunter invited the negotiating team brought by Johnson to meet again.

Leaving Charles slammed the notebook on the table in the office.

He was really upset. Not just being ignored.

When Hunter was there, he seldom bothered about the company's operations at all, but kept his eyes on the finances.

This kind of situation in which the power is in control is likely to cease to exist in the future. A real knowledgeable person came to intervene, how could Charles not be angry.

Vish Films started out with TV dramas In the company, it is also because he has been sticking to this area.

As for the movie, and even the distribution channel, Hunter developed it after referring to the opinions of some people and thinking that it could be developed.

Not now, I want to sell it when I turn around.

He also said that the market is not saturated enough to open up new markets.

Thinking about it, it's all an excuse.

Charles is middle-aged, but his temper is not good.

And this emotion in my heart is also based on a very sober helplessness.

Hunter has the most equity in his hands.

But he is so short-sighted, he just regards Vish Films as a tool for profit.

Once it fails to meet expectations, he immediately switches camps, which is simply a pig teammate.

As a result, Charles's prestige has also been continuously declining throughout the film company.

Not to mention the panic inside the company, even he himself couldn't stabilize himself and couldn't see the way forward.

It's a pity that although he was angry, he didn't dare to really offend Hunter. After saying a few angry words, he still had to walk around and try to save something.

At this moment, the assistant called in, "President, there is Mr. Lehman from Firefly Pictures to visit you."

"Who?"

"Mr. Lyman-Last."

"Fxxx."
