Legendary Hollywood Director

Rodriguez Perlman went as far as Maine for copyright matters.

It's a pity that the entertainment culture there is not so strong, and even the attendance rate of the cinema is not high.

Of course, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. If you can find out the market in one place and know the market, you will basically complete the task of this trip.

Thinking that since he joined the company, he has taken the team and traveled everywhere, and I feel that he is worthy of this job.

Rodriguez secretly collected data and research along the distribution network of Blockbuster, and then went to the field to investigate. After two or three months of work, he returned all the way to the west. Along the way, he stayed with the scattered staff and Blue Butterfly Pictures. The North American distribution network stationed personnel communicated and summarized, and when they returned to Los Angeles, they could roughly understand the offline market, and even the workload was exceeded.

After all, Lehman's original idea was to know that DVD sales and pay-on-demand, two easily manipulated businesses, would be very good.

Of course, Layman naturally encourages his employees to have such subjective initiative.

When the form was handed in, Liam took it to negotiate with Blockbuster and other offline merchants, and Lehman immediately made Rodriguez the director of offline copyright promotion.

——Right now is the time to hire people, and Lehmann will not hesitate to reward those who can do their job well.

Not only the authority, but also the annual salary has basically doubled, and he has also allowed him to continue to recruit people to expand the team and continue to refine the research team.

Rodriguez could have rested for a few days, because Lyman gave him a leave to relax, but he was a restless man, so he followed Blue Butterfly Pictures and watched them do their work.

You must know that Blue Butterfly Pictures has the largest number of employees under Lehmann. In terms of distribution, more than 150 people are responsible for various state affairs just by contacting various theaters and laying out hard and wide.

And because the company's performance is good, the treatment is good, and the employees are highly motivated, there is basically no problem with the company's projects in terms of publicity.

In comparison, distribution can be seen as an industry dominated by teamwork, which is very cooperative.

Looking at the world, if you want so many theaters to work together without problems, it will test the coordination ability of the publishing company.

Rodriguez thought to himself.

......

Ryman had just walked into the door of the private club, and Bill McNico's accompanying assistant was already waiting, and immediately said, Mr. Rust, please come with me.

Lehman followed behind this person, thinking about how to negotiate and cooperate better.

Because he no longer wants to have a bad relationship with any movie giant, especially Fox, which is backed by News Corp. You know, if you want to destroy a public figure first, you must start with public opinion.

Those who work hard and hold a lot of wealth, such as Michael Jackson, are old enough, or the bigwigs of Jewish background, such as Harvey Weinstein, are all planted in the trenches because of scandals.

Public opinion not only kills people, but also punishes people's hearts, and it can make people speechless-the unwarranted prostitution case has not been concluded until now, and the sexual assault scandal, Harvey is not the first time to let a woman ***, Even many female stars take the initiative by themselves, but so what?

In fact, in legitimate business competition, everyone refrains from using the powerful weapon of inciting public opinion.

Even if there is a lot of lace news that is usually exposed, he is very restrained to the celebrities who have an accident, and he never said that he would destroy a person with newspaper remarks. *, and knocked him down. If you do, everyone in the circle will alienate you and stomp you down.

I can only say that many things in this world have their own set of rules.

Suddenly from competition to life-threatening, it is really a small life, as for whose life, who knows.

Lyman only knows that whoever wants to weigh the fireflies first, see if he can bear the loss that is enough to hurt his bones.

Not to mention suppressing Miramax, isn't it easy, remove Miramax from Oscar's chessboard, and Harvey will naturally lose power.

Furthermore, the two of them are no longer of the same level. Who would change the life of a weak person, cerebral palsy?

In the same way, Warner stopped and stopped suppressing, and also did not want to cross the line and become a life-threatening.

——It's not a madman or a fool if it hurts others and not oneself.

And a fool can't get a foothold in Hollywood.

Mr. Rust, please wait a moment. Barry Diller's assistant took Lyman to a box and knocked on the door first.

Wait until someone responds before opening the door.

Inside, a touch of incense was burning, and a small coffee table was placed in the middle of several sofas.

On closer inspection, it smelled of cigarettes—there were several cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray in front of Bill McNichol.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's only a few minutes, I'm early. Bill McNico waited for Lyman's coffee, and then said: Firefly has made another good movie, and the performance of Prada is really good.

Lehman modestly said: It has nothing to do with me. As long as the director David shoots well, I'm just the one who is responsible for the money.

Haha, even if you pay, you have to be able to choose the right one. It's not easy to pay. Bill McNichol said with a smile: After coming to Hollywood for four years, Mr. Rust is very popular in the film industry. From the water, people have to admire it.”

It's just a fluke. Maybe, if you work on the project seriously, the result will not be too bad. Mr. McNichol, several Fox movies entered the top 20 on the list last year, which is what I admire very much, especially the release of Star Battle 3, but set all the screening records along the way.

The two talked about business and talked about a lot of things, and Bill McNichol talked about the TV series project.

In today's TV station field, the three major TV networks, abc, nbc and cbs, have always dominated the North American wireless TV market. Later, Fox invested heavily, and the management was also very capable. The business has also developed, and I have to say, it is also very powerful.

Speaking of business, Lehman said straight to the point: Firefly production, Fox broadcast, and the funds to buy out the pilot broadcast rights are according to the rules, but I want Fox to give a reasonable price for the advertising revenue in the subsequent schedule.

Oh? What reasonable price do you want?

The word reasonable was heavily spoken by Bill McNico, who seemed to think that Lehman would open his mouth and ask for a sky-high share.

But he actually thought more.

If the film and television projects are regarded as a business, and the money earned from the market will inevitably be inseparable from the platform and the producer, the importance of the platform is absolutely not bad, and even the establishment of the platform requires more money and energy. Invest more.

Lehman never thought of replacing the platform with production, and Fox did not rely on the TV series produced by the Firefly family to survive.

This time, I won't talk about buyouts, but about step-by-step accounts.

What kind of ladder method? Bill McNichol asked with a smile.

The audience rating exceeds 2.5. After the trial broadcast, the broadcast copyright fee for each episode will be increased by 0.5% on the basis of the production cost, and 10% of the advertising revenue will be broken by 3 on average. The broadcast fee will be increased by 0.5, and the advertising revenue will be increased by 0.3... After breaking 6, Firefly will take 40% of all advertising revenue generated by the episode, and no matter how high the ratings are, this will not change, how?

Good vision, enough courage. Bill - McNico praised.

There are only two aspects to this agreement that need attention.

One is that the upper limit is raised. After breaking 6, Firefly's profit is close to 40% of its income; the other is that the lower limit is lowered, not high ratings.

For example, for a high-quality drama, the probability of the split between the producer and the TV station is close to 2:8. After breaking 3, the ratings will continue to increase the proportion of the producer's revenue, but it is rarely able to get 4.

Lehman, on the other hand, wants the highest standard of accounting.

Of course, the premise is that the TV series can really explode in ratings.

From this point of view, broadcasting a blockbuster TV series can effectively attract audiences and turn it into an audience retention rate at the same time period, and the TV station will not suffer.

So, Bill McNico is saying that Lyman is very bold.

——There is no asking price that makes people reluctant, nor does it take advantage of the TV station, but it is obvious that it is confident to gamble on the future prospects of TV dramas.
