Chapter 613： Quote

The office area on the third floor of Firefly.

The group flipped through the details of the cooperation agreement, and the sound of the paper rubbing was like the most beautiful movement.

This is the legal department of the company.

But the business was entrusted to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

And the overseas distribution plan of "Prada" will be confirmed here.

They will classify the conditions that were faxed over after the banquet, and then verify each other, and pick out the most favorable cooperation conditions for Firefly.

As for the cooperation between these companies, it is quite pertinent, and it is mainly in two directions.

One is the buyout proposed by Universal and MGM, who are solely responsible for the follow-up overseas promotion at a price of 40 to 50 million, and the gain is no longer related to Firefly. The advantage of this is that the payment is the fastest, and there is no need to spend energy to prevent other companies from doing small actions, such as concealing the investment in publicity;

The second is the normal authorized development, both parties benefit together, roughly 25% of the distribution fee, publicity expenses are not included in the cost, or directly calculated by the net profit, and the publicity expenses are shared equally by both parties.

Liam stood by at the moment, watching the legal staff's tense accounting agreement for loopholes or ambiguities, and then copied the data to get a range of interest comparisons.

In fact, this is also because the partner has not yet belonged. If the relationship does not break down, Lehman can directly negotiate with Warner.

As for the other companies, it is not only necessary to ensure their own interests, but also need to make concessions to stand out. In fact, it is more labor-intensive. What they can do is to estimate the specific overseas income of the overall project as much as possible, and then according to the data , given their respective conditions.

In this regard, Liam, who has dealt with publishing all the year round, is naturally the best candidate to confirm.

So, even though he was busy with work, he still took the time to come over and give Lehman some reference.

"Well, let's sum it up." Liam ordered when he saw that the calculation was over.

After another ten minutes, a representative took the statistical table and stepped forward and said, "It's done."

Liam took the form, scanned it briefly, and said, "Let everyone rest for a while, don't leave in a hurry. Come with me."

"Yes." The legal representative nodded.

Liam knew that Lehman and Joseph attached great importance to this matter. In other words, they would have to deal with the Big Six like this for a long time to come.

Coming to the two, Liam Hui reported: "This is the summary of all the conditions."

Lehman opened it and laughed softly: "It seems that they are still very sincere. At least they have given an overseas box office estimate of 150 million, which is quite insightful."

Joseph was a little unsure of what Lehman's words meant. He forced the corners of his mouth and said, "The North American achievements are all here, and there will never be too few."

"Yeah. Liam." Ryman pointed out a series of data from the table: "I estimate that the film's overseas box office will be about 175 million. Generally speaking, Firefly should be able to get about 60 million box office revenue, then , just agree to Fox's conditions. The net profit plan they offer is the most suitable, and you will sign the release terms with them later."

Liam took the form and didn't understand what Ryman's plan was to determine the scope of the box office he received. According to his inner thoughts, he directly fixed the cut, and announced that it would not be included in the cost.

Lehman raised his brows and said, "When this matter is over, I will let Joseph allocate 10 million yuan to Blue Butterfly Pictures to continue to improve the online publicity model. This time, the online promotion of "Prada" is very good."

Liam, who was affirmed, was overjoyed. Speaking of which, it was a complete accident. He didn't expect that the topic of fashion would be so easy to attract many netizens to spontaneously discuss and pursue it.

"Also," Ryman looked at Liam, "I will also be investing 25 million in research and development in the digital field. This money will be used to continue to improve the image painting technology. You remember with Scott -Ross to follow up together."

The digital realm has been quite comfortable these days with the backing of a high-quality film maker, Firefly, an independent production project.

- There is no need for them to beg their grandfather to tell their grandmother to win over the business in a low voice, just waiting to go out to make orders or advertising images, and then fully cooperate with the special effects movies required by Firefly itself. Although it is still in a loss-making stage, the technical preparation has always been In the update, it is developing for the better.

Moreover, special effects studios all over the world are burning money, and few of them have perfect profit-making methods, not only in the digital field.

Compared to this, what Firefly can get in the future is something that Lehman pays no attention to.

Wait another year, the digital field will only feel that there is too much business to do, and will not idle employees or continue to lose money.

Furthermore, with the Hollywood film market increasing year by year and the excessive social and economic prosperity, the stock market continues to rise. Who could have predicted this potential crisis?

Soon, the capitalists behind the Big Six will experience a major hemorrhage. Will they still be so strong then?

Therefore, the digital field has increased investment in R&D since last year, and then to Lehman's continuous support, let alone exceeding, can not fall behind in the technical competition with Industrial Light and Magic and Weta Digital, Lehman is satisfied.

What's more, without the shackles of debt, Firefly's current capital reserves are gradually enriching. Rather than staying in the bank to earn interest, it is better to increase the company's production capacity.

After Liam left.

Lehman said to Joseph again: "Nolan's "Deadly Magic" has also entered the stage of project approval. You choose a person with experienced crew management qualifications in the company to serve as executive producer."

"Well, I'll make arrangements."

"Once "No Country For Old Men" is re-cut, I won't have much energy to take care of other things. You worry a lot about the operation of the company, it's hard work for you."

- Boss, you really value me.

Joseph's nose suddenly became sour, and he wanted to show his loyalty. He kept spitting out the words of being conscientious and hardworking.

Of course, Lehman has always observed Joseph's management. He is very experienced and never oversteps the rules. Otherwise, Lehman would not have put him at the top of the company and given him a very high salary.

"Okay, as long as I can do things well, I won't be stingy with rewards." Lyman waved his hand and waved Joseph back.

As for Lyman's "Deadly Magic".

Nolan and Jonathan only finalized the final script some time ago, and have already begun to select actors.

As for the actors, Bell will definitely have a protagonist with a lot of roles.

After all, in "Mystery of Xia Ying", the two cooperated very happily. Long after the movie ended, Nolan asked Bell to vacate the schedule.

Otherwise, with the popularity of "Mystery of Xia Ying", Bell would not have been absent from film appointments and waited foolishly.

—Oh, it’s not called stupid waiting, it’s called purposeful waiting.

After all, Bell has to reshape and reduce muscles for the role, which also takes time.

And the film's final initial budget was less than $40 million.

Moreover, at least half of the actors will be accounted for, even if Christian Bale voluntarily reduces his salary and only takes 8 million, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com But another first-line actor who can match Bell's current fame is not cheap.

However, Nolan has yet to confirm which movie star with enough appeal is the other of the two leading roles.

After all, this guy's filmmaking highlights a rigor, and he doesn't like to use special effects too much. It takes a lot of thought to check the Victorian background, society, and various magic tricks in the early stage.

"The 40 million yuan, the first 20 million yuan is only used to prepare for the shooting. The actor's remuneration can be divided into two parts. In addition, the billing is divided into separate categories, which is conducive to tax avoidance." Lehmann remotely commanded "Deadly Magic" by phone. "The establishment of the crew.

After many things were moving forward in an orderly manner, Lehmann also plunged into the editing room and polished "No Country For Old Men".

Speaking of which, the film's montage is very well used, fully arousing the audience's emotions and firmly controlling the line of sight.

And such a shot transfer is not as easy as tiling it directly, but it requires the director to have a thorough knowledge of the whole story - it is not an easy thing to explain a few lines together.

But Lehmann has made many types of movies, so he is quite confident in terms of his rich editing experience.
