Chapter 1044： Strategic positioning step 2

Wan D headquarters.

Wang Jianlin sat on the boss chair and annotated a few documents before looking at his watch and asking, "How long have they been here?"

"Manager Li has already rushed over to receive him. If he is on the way, he will be there right away." The secretary on the side replied.

"Well, are the conference rooms all set up?"

"It's set up."

"..."

Since the brief interview that day, Wang Jianlin has asked people to gather a lot of information about Mann Media, and specially selected the film and television business and Lehman's own reports.

In his conception, WanD's commercial real estate can definitely enhance more added value with the help of film and television content, which is in line with the increasingly popular real estate trends such as film and television cities and theme parks in recent years.

In other words, he attaches great importance to this exchange of strategic intentions with Mann Media.

in the conference room.

When Wang Jianlin came, Lyman and Andrew also arrived.

The other party greeted him, and Li Yaoguang was responsible for the introduction, "This is the chairman of our Wan D Group, President Wang." Andrew also introduced: "This is my boss, Leiman."

After introducing each other, Wang Jianlin took a step forward and extended his hand with a smile, "I've been very busy today, and I just got free just now, so I couldn't receive it in person."

"Mr. Wang is very polite." Lyman shook hands.

After being seated and talking about the screening of "Pacific Rim", Lehmann first thanked WanD Cinemas for the preferential film arrangement.

After listening to the translation, Wang Jianlin said with an indifferent expression: "The audience loves it. Of course those of us who are cinemas need to support it. We can't help arranging the film sources without referring to the market, but your film is good, and it takes 22 days. It's over 500 million."

Everyone carried the sedan chairs, and after they praised each other, the atmosphere of the conversation opened up a lot.

In fact, for Lehman, it is definitely a good thing that a Chinese-funded person who is inclined to fireflies can enter the Hollywood theater alliance.

This kind of influence among high-level executives is very effective. The screening system of the theater chain is unfair everywhere. If you speak loudly, you will be able to line up more and choose a good schedule. Many of them are neither well connected nor luxurious. At the bottom of the small studio, it basically depends on the face of the academy businessman. There is no room for selection at all. Let it be arranged wherever it is, and I am very afraid that the film will not be shown on the screen.

Of course, Wan D's contact with AMC was not mentioned, and Lehman naturally wouldn't say it first. Anyway, he couldn't directly participate in the fund. Cutting, it is better not to do it in the first place.

He also knew that Wan D wanted to make a difference on the film and television production side, and the demand was even higher than them.

Sure enough, after chatting for a bit of fun, the topic of important matters came out.

Wang Jianlin winked, and Comrade Li Yaoguang said, "We, Wan D, have been well-known for your company's production capabilities. Well, after some films were introduced, they were also deeply loved by mainland audiences."

"And "Pacific Rim", as the first co-produced film, sees the situation, it should not be bad, this is definitely something everyone is happy to see. It is also true for our WanD Cinemas, which also proves Our market is getting better, movies that can afford higher investment, and international standards.”

Lyman and Andrew looked at each other, waiting for each other's next words.

"So, what do you think of the Hollywood cinema chain?"

"You people who are theater chains must know the Hollywood theater market better than I do." Lehmann laughed.

"Yeah, everyone actually understands that Hollywood represents the international film market, and films that can achieve success there will not be too bad in revenue from other regions. If you go there for a walk, you will lose a lot of color.”

"The industry chain there is also neat, and people generally regard watching movies as a regular form of entertainment, which has many advantages. After all, the first ticket warehouse naturally has the charm of the first ticket warehouse, especially for those aspiring people like us. For those who open up the film and television business, if they don’t go out, the structure is still small, so many powerful companies want to stand firm there.

Shaw Brothers tried it, followed by Golden Harvest, and the Bay Province side also rushed in in groups... Haha, but we outsiders, after all, have some inconveniences, right? "

"If you have something to say, please say it directly. We can sit here, of course, we have considered it." Andrew looked at Lyman's meaning and said.

Li Yaoguang laughed twice, but did not continue to go around, "I hope that your company can cooperate with us in the project. In five years, we plan to support your shooting business with a combined fund of 800 million US dollars for five years."

Lyman pretended to be surprised and asked, "Don't look at our success many times, but it's not without failure. Movies, the audience is always the most difficult part to predict. Are you not afraid of taking losses?"

Li Yaoguang smiled, "It is true that every project has risks, but does high risk also mean high returns? We fully believe in your ability, as long as you are willing to point out Although you are polite, The meaning is also very clear, what's more, Layman himself will not deliberately spoil the image of Firefly's label, but it has been too successful to attract attention, so he invests in some money-losing works that do not hurt the foundation, especially the in-depth ones. .

As for the so-called platter funds, it is the production model represented by the original Time and Space Legend Films. The advantage is that it reduces the trial and error cost of the studio. Not only can it be borrowed to share the budget amount, but if you play well, you can also use this fund for long-term operation.

800 million in 5 years is a lot.

"The essence of cooperation is to learn from each other's strengths and make up for one's weaknesses, and use advantages to cover up disadvantages. If you have investigated, you will know that Mann Media has a wide range of profit channels and is not financially tight." In a word, this condition is not enough.

It's not to whet your appetite, but it really didn't meet Lehman's strategic expectations.

"Theatrical chain and production have always complemented each other. Movies need to be shown in theaters, and theaters need good films to attract audiences. What I can provide is the theater chain. Not only the mainland's WanD theaters, but also the Hollywood theater chain." Wang Jianlin is no longer hiding, and if he doesn't invest enough chips, this will definitely not happen.

For Lehmann, it is nonsense to get a satisfactory effect without showing a bit of substance.

Only by mentioning Xuanfa, can the next words be discussed in depth.

If you don't have any ambition, how can you get a foothold in Hollywood?

Lyman clapped his hands, "AMC? I also know some people in Hollywood. If you want, I can ask CAA to help."

Wang Jianlin was rude, "As allies, we should work together in Hollywood. Of course, film screenings pay attention to a market-oriented nature. As long as it conforms to the market, we will stand by your side. How about this promise?"

Both of them suddenly laughed...
