”Well, no kidding, Europa Pictures is very interested in this project, so...”
Just be interested, Lehman thought.
”The initial budget for this movie is about 8 million to 10 million. It leaves a lot of salary space for actors. As for other expenses, it is normal and reasonable. You see?”
”Well, of course I believe you, are you the producer of this movie?”
Therefore, Wen Ziren really has a sense of industry. Even if he is still a new director, he can't get any information and achievements, but Luc Besson is willing to invest because of his face.Perhaps he thought in his heart that Lehmann was responsible for this project.
Lehmann and Luc Besson looked at each other and smiled slightly: Could you just wait for your words?
How can it be done without the support of an issuing company?
And Europa Pictures is the most critical part of this.
Under the picture of the big pie, why bother that they don’t contribute their resources and channels?
Such a series of films will be a good development opportunity for Lehman himself and Mann Studio.
As long as it can keep the core aspects of ”Chain Saw” as in the previous life, the studio will also have a facade pillar, and the serialization is quite stable.
Yes, that's right, Lehman intends to pull Wen Ziren into Mann's studio.Of course it is not France, but he intends to set up a film company in the United States. It is not a grass-roots team affiliated with Europa Pictures, but a real film studio with production capabilities.
As usual, the three companies will jointly fund the cooperation this time.
After all, it is impossible to discard the American market. In any case, for the distribution, there is no such thing as Paramount Pictures, nor can it enter the market, and there will be no filming or screening theaters.
As for why not find other people to cooperate, or simply go to Paramount Pictures and put aside Europa?There may be such doubts, but this idea is not desirable at all.
But if both parties had a demand for him, he would not have negotiated terms so easily. What's more, Europa Pictures is really well-measured and he is a French director.
Look at the revenue division of this movie.
Europa Pictures invested 2 million, accounting for 30% of the box office profit; Paramount Pictures invested 3 million, accounting for 35%; Mann Studios invested 4 million, accounting for the remaining 35%.
And Europa Pictures owns 50% of the film rights, Mann Studios are the same, Paramount Pictures does not account for a bit, but they own 40% of the offline income of movies within three years, Mann Studios In the same way, all the proceeds after three years have nothing to do with him.
That is to say, the long-term big head is in the hands of Europa, and the short-term income Paramount is more dominant, and the Mann studio has made the most investment, but it is not outstanding in these two items.
But, why did he not have any industry resources for realizing?
I can't make a movie, it's not going to be shown.
He should pay the money, and he should eat the losses.
In fact, it is fair to think about it, and compared with the previous, the conditions are more favorable, which is a good thing.
Besides, if ”Chain Saw” doesn't have the strong support of two companies, maybe the box office will hit the street. Then all the plans look like a joke?
the above.
