219 Chapter 219 (2/2)
Luc Besson frowned secretly, thinking that someone really had such an idea, and at the same time he understood it, he would still be a little unhappy.
I wondered if Paramount Pictures had contacted him secretly and what conditions had been offered.
To know that this kind of thing is to show the relationship between the two companies in a disguised form.
Not close, who is willing to leave the company's internal operations and financial relationships to others.
”Paramount Pictures, I heard that there has been a big move recently. It seems that the executives of their company have been in contact with the people in DreamWorks. Maybe...” He said, he took a look at Lehman, ”This If DreamWorks joins Paramount, it will definitely make big moves. Compared with Spielberg, how much resource tilt can your studio get?” Finally, he said with emotion, ”I would rather be a chicken head,” Don't make phoenix tails.”
Lehman naturally understood this reason, otherwise he would not refuse Europa Pictures' ”goodwill”.As for his ideas, how could Luc Besson think of it.Besides, it is better to continue to be affiliated with Europa Pictures to be affiliated with Paramount.At least, the strength of Europa Pictures’ satellite companies has always been the Mann Studio.As for Paramount, the small film company he supports does not know where it is. Besides, he knows that DreamWorks really joined Paramount.
It's a pity that with the vigorous development of his career, an idea called ”ambition” but actually aspiration entangled Lehman's mind.
This time, he has other plans and plans-to create a real film company with production capabilities, instead of being a leather bag like Mann Studio.
Looking into the longer term, if we can obtain distribution channels, the next American version of ”Europa” is not necessarily impossible.
After all, cinema companies are a group of ”vested interests”, don't they need excellent film sources?
Once his company can always produce relatively good works, who is not to cooperate with?
Most of the so-called distribution channels have been established step by step in this way, and I have never heard of any company that completely monopolizes this aspect.
Of course, just as the United States is the six “Hollywood” spheres of influence, sometimes film companies that cannot withstand repression, hard power, and even propaganda battles, the bleak ending of the film companies are even more of a warning.
Such as DreamWorks.
Spielberg founded a film company just like the step that every big director wanted to take.
It's a pity that he is about to declare failure and is still struggling.
Throughout history, the quality of the movies they produced is actually very high, such as ”Shrek”, ”Gladiator”, ”Transformers”, ”Freedom”... not a good word of mouth, Oscar hits, but movies The box office sold very well, but even so, it still failed to escape the six major sanctions.
Also strangled the neck of fate-their overseas channels could not be established life and death, and only Lionsgate in Hollywood succeeded in taking this step, and Lionsgate is really not bad money. The investment shareholders behind it are all European A very powerful presence.Think about it, too, if there is no overseas channel, how are you jumping around, just working for others.Comparing the investment cost of each movie is so large, so risky, it is really to be compensated, and there is no overseas channel to return the blood, and one step wrong is an abyss.
Later, Spielberg also figured it out. They were all part-time workers. Why couldn't they feel more comfortable? I was exhausted and I didn't earn as much as when he was only a director.
As a result, you will know later that this acquisition was not settled by Viacom until 2005, and the label of DreamWorks was automatically acquired by Paramount Pictures.
