Legendary Hollywood Director

When everyone turned their attention to the main competition unit for awards, no one noticed that the non-competition unit was also sharing the cake.

In other words, with the votes of judges such as Lehmann, filmmakers in France, the United Kingdom, Italy and other countries have been encouraged.

It's just that they are very conscientious and don't give wholesale, and they keep a little bit of face.

Of course, this is actually a non-competitive unit, which is not very formal, and the gold content is just that. It is only helpful to newcomers, and it seems that the award is very reasonable, which avoids controversy.

And among them, one director thanked Lehmann very much.

That is Huang Chao, who won the A Kind of Concern award for his work: Summer in Jiangcheng.

Huang Chao, born in 1963, graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama.

In the early years, he was shooting film and television dramas as an actor, and later he gradually became interested in directors.

Taking Summer in River City to the Cannes Film Festival is not his first official feature film, but it is his first time participating in such an international screening platform.

In fact, Cannes, Venice and other film festivals like to bring Asian filmmakers to play, and directors such as Akira Kurosawa, Sunglasses King, Zhang Guoshi, etc. are all famous here, and then they get resources and go more smoothly.

One thing that is very understandable is that similar platforms have a really great blessing on filmmakers.

After Summer in Jiangcheng won a kind of attention, not many people overseas paid attention, but the mainland media were still willing to report, and they still actively spent resources to promote.

Why?

A long face, a sense of identity.

For the director himself, it is a huge increase in his worth.

Huang Chao is not very familiar with the King of Sunglasses, but they are both Chinese, so the King of Sunglasses also mentioned it, and Laiman directly gave the prize, which was considered to be somewhat beneficial.

For this reason, the King of Sunglasses also feels that he can make friends with Lehmann.

Moreover, people are also considered to be the local snakes in this place...

The King of Sunglasses was wearing a short shirt, with a square face and a wide face, and his figure was still slightly fat. In addition, he often wore sunglasses.

After seeing Lehman, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

How's it going recently, I see that your movie's release performance is very good, congratulations.

The closeness in the words basically set the tone of today's small talk.

Lyman smiled and replied with some polite words.

Regarding the achievements of No Country for Old Men, there is actually nothing to say. If you say too much, you will be showing off...

After rushing to the field here, Lehman immediately went to the studio.

Several of them were very talented, and they sat down modestly. Luc Besson took the lead to say: No Country for Old Men did well. In just 6 days, it won 73.42 million euros and achieved another box office victory.

Thanks to everyone's tireless promotion and distribution, this achievement is the common credit of everyone. Lehmann said with a smile.

Sure enough, Luc Besson didn't want to brag about the box office and not the box office. Seeing Lehmann saying this, he immediately changed the subject, When the movie is finished, how will the offline market be arranged? Lehmann, you must stay here. Soon, there will be a lot of things in Hollywood waiting for you to go back to deal with,

In this way, it's not good to delay offline, right?

I also have concerns about this, I don't know what you mean?

The three of us plan to help the film develop this business together and buy it out directly, so that you won't be too distracted.

Lyman was lost in thought.

The so-called help is just a pretext. It is a peace of mind to hand over the copyright operation, but it is estimated that you should not think about the big profits.

In terms of distribution, buyout and share are both feasible methods and means, but the former has always been a slight loss to the producer, in exchange for the rapid entry of funds. Generally speaking, it is the first choice for film companies with insufficient capital reserves.

But after Firefly has paid off its foreign debts, it is actually not short of money on the account - 100 million yuan can still be easily transferred out, bite the bullet and take short-term loans, it is easy to get 200 million from the bank.

Therefore, Firefly's cash flow is fairly healthy.

The reason why Gao Meng, EMI, and Europa made this request was, on the one hand, for Lehmann’s sake (to avoid trouble, it’s normal to procrastinate in overseas collections), and on the other hand, they were naturally interested in the performance of “No Country for Old Men”. The word-of-mouth potential that comes out is promising in the offline market.

Any studio, or a studio with a relatively complete French distribution channel, will basically plan this way.

After all, this time, Lehmann did not hand over the overseas distribution work to the Big Six. Instead, in order to seize the heat, he split the market in France ahead of time, which gave them more confidence in their demands - no matter who comes, they will To use them, it's just who dominates.

Moreover, Lehman does not have the ability to distribute overseas. Even if he refuses, he will have to hand over this part of the business to outsiders, and he will still have to share the profits. .

But for Lehman, it's not so comfortable. If you hand it over to the Big Six, they will take a cut of the total overseas profits. In fact, strictly speaking, it is more convenient and the accounts can be calculated more clearly.

But it was difficult to come up with an excuse to mention it, and several of them were unwilling to let it go.

Negotiations are not always tough.

Lehman couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the release.

Don't miss a moment's gain or loss, and there is no fuel-efficient lamp.

——Well, I even scolded myself, but Liam is also a very shrewd one. The price is not much worse than these few, and he is the kind of person who takes a bite when he gets the chance.

This is the status brought by the channel resources mastered by the distribution.

Helpless, under the eaves, people have to bow their heads.

If it wasn't for Lehman's achievements and qualifications, and he didn't have much right to choose, the fact that these few could personally invite them to talk on the pretext of avoiding trouble was already somewhat valued.

If it is a general movie release, it may not be talked about, and love will not be given.

It works, but is this offer...

After all, we have to talk about the cooperation of Untouchable next. This benefit is given. As long as the latter part can still receive strong support and announcement, it will be worthwhile.

The French audience still has a very strong market expression for a light comedy about French culture.

But all of this also requires the local theater chain to make room...

Lehman pondered for a moment, and then said: The buyout fee for the DVD will be paid to the one with the highest price, and a hidden bid will be taken.

Although I made up my mind to give up part of the offline revenue in exchange for the resource inclination for the latter movie, I couldn't give it too much fun, and it was easy for these guys to start.

——Do you really think that I, Lehmann, won’t fight? Labor and capital are also quick to turn their faces, so the most valuable DVD release can't be bad.

As we all know, in the offline part, except for some animation or live-action movies, which can sell for high prices in the toy licensing part, but the largest offline share of most works will always be DVD.

How cool it is to sell DVDs, many viewers are willing to buy a copy for collection and watch, and the profit of DVDs is not worse than that of theater screenings - the cost of copying is too low, even if you add transportation and distribution, such as A company like Bestard draws one, and sells it for more than ten dollars, and there are still some for 5 or 6 dollars per piece.

Like Chainsaw 4, the net profit at the box office is less than 2 million, and the DVDs have sold more than 900,000 copies, making a profit of more than 5 million, which is more valuable than the screening - no wonder the series vitality is so tenacious, enough to be able to I made 8 films, and it was really all supported by DVD sales.

This this......

Several bosses looked at each other and felt the pressure.

Although I really want to oppress it again, everyone said that they are willing to accept the buyout. Now that it is the bidding stage, I can't say anything cheaper, so don't do this business.

It can only be a DVD. Mr. Gao Meng said quickly.

Beforehand, the three of them specifically divided their interests, in order to prevent the Lehman fisherman from benefiting, and their own people made an offer to kill them first.

Now, Lehman made a request and made it clear that the price was raised. Of course, he could not let him do it.

Otherwise, don't talk about buying out, let's honestly take a share, make the film more profitable together, and share our own points.

Lyman nodded amusingly.

Oh, that's it. Although Luc Besson regretted that the best piece of meat was a little hard to swallow, but he was able to get the other parts, and he was satisfied that he had not torn his face and the relationship had become rigid.

After all, it really pissed off Lehman. People patted their butts and left, stopped playing, and set up stalls, so it wasn't that they had nothing to eat.
