”It's right to speak of loyalty and gratitude, but there are some things you can't wrong yourself too much, or you will be sold one day, and you will help count the money stupidly.” Lehman patted his shoulder and said quite solemnly .

Wen Ziren rubbed his hands, laughed, but said nothing.

Lehman said: ”I plan to shoot the sequel of ”Chain Saw”. It's still your director. I'll find someone to help you open a personal studio, and then I will be affiliated with me. The two companies jointly funded the shooting, and the pay is directly calculated into the box office Divide it.”

”I also invest?” Wen Ziren shook his head repeatedly, and said: ”Lehman, I know you are good to me, but I am still a newcomer. I can get points and achieve very good results, and I can also intervene in the investors to share offline income. Wouldn’t it be too good? Also, you believe me so, it makes me a little worried, if the movie loses, you have to give me money, the risks involved... do you Considered?”

”Will it fail? Based on the basis of the first film, will you still be afraid of the market's disapproval? Also, do you think that you have been a small director all your life? Look at me, I was not confident at the beginning, I was afraid of this and that Yes, it didn’t come here. As for investment, do you want to work for others for the rest of your life? Let’s not talk about me. Look at that Luc Besson from Europa Films, who is also a director. How good the company is.”

Lehman continued: ”This is the United States. You and I are both outsiders. If you don’t have any social status or reputation and wealth, you still remember how people discriminated against you. You are still young, so why don’t you have any fighting spirit than me? What's wrong, I don’t think it’s unusual for you to start a film company like me in the future. If you want to develop, you don’t have to work hard...”

In short, a lot of things are said, and the central idea is one: everyone works hard, gets rich together, and embarks on the pinnacle of directorship.

Such a brainwashing eloquence could not be stopped by a young man like Wen Ziren. He was flushed with his hands and clenched fists. Obviously, he was said to be in his heart.

In fact, from the very beginning, Lehmann planned to cooperate in this way.

The two are equal in status, and the investment is divided separately, just like a joint development project.

The most unbearable thing about human relations is temptation.

If Lyman is really blindly asking for it, which director is really willing to sign a contract.Wen Ziren may be willing, but it is not what Lehman wants.

What he wants is for the fireflies to grow steadily, not like DreamWorks, when there is a problem, the heart is not aligned. He always cares about gains and losses, and the inside becomes a mess of sand, and finally ends up being dismembered and divided.

So his idea is to be a cooperation platform similar to CAA. I can provide excellent directors and excellent projects. The distribution channel can still be handed over to Europa Pictures, Paramount Pictures or other powerful companies.

The production rights are all eaten, or the rights and interests are issued in cooperation. Due to various external reasons, money may not be able to do well, so let it out and focus on project development.

Not to mention becoming an industry overlord and being able to film independently is also good.

Someone may ask, what is the difference between this and opening a studio?

Of course there is a difference. As a producer, you can at least own the copyright of a part of the movie, follow-up offline operations, peripheral development, and role authorization. These fats have the opportunity to eat, unlike before, you can’t participate at all. Even if it's your own project, you have to give in.

There is also the box office benefit. If it is pure investment, in fact, no matter what, the share can not be too high. Independent production is not the same. You only need to sign an issuance clause with the issuing company, and the remaining proceeds will be eliminated. The line side, almost all take.

For example, a movie has a box office of 1 million and a copyright operation of 1 million. The producer can get 350,000 in the box office and 650,000 in copyright. If it is a pure investment, it is very conscience to get 500,000 in general.This is the gap.
