280 Chapter 280 (1/2)

On March 2, Lyman went to the headquarters of Paramount Pictures because of the schedule of ”Micro Love.”

The atmosphere in Shirley Lansing's office is a bit weird.

Now everyone knows that the honeymoon period between Lyman and Paramount is over. With the establishment of Firefly Pictures and the news of the cooperation between Lyman and Warner, the relationship between the two is gone.

However, this does not affect the existing cooperation between the two parties.

As for what the Miramax people said, Shirley Lansing simply ignored it.

She's not stupid. Moreover, if she buys DreamWorks, she will be able to make up for the lack of production. Why should she hit Lehman?

To avenge his independence?

This is a business, not a playhouse.Perhaps Harvey and the others are too high on themselves, and they cooperate with Paramount to suppress the Firefly project, they are also worthy?

Although she herself is a little unhappy, she cannot rise to the level of corporate strategy.

Shirley Lansing asked the assistant to pour a cup of coffee, glanced at Lehman, and said another topic, ”Saw Cry 2 is about to be finished, do you have any ideas?”

”No hurry, wait until the post-production is finished.”

She nodded, and then suddenly came out, ”We Paramount want the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw, can we make a price?”

After the release of ”Chain Saw 1”, the offline DVD market became very hot, which allowed Shirley Lansing to fully see the potential of this project. She found that compared to theater screenings, thriller movies are also very popular in the rental market. popular.

But at present, the development leadership of this project is not in Paramount's hands. They don't want to launch many of the promotion plans, otherwise it would be too cheap for Firefly Pictures, so after they discussed it, they wanted to buy out the follow-up directly. The copyright of the movie is completely controlled by Paramount.

However, Lehman is also clear about this.He has always known the value of the series ”Chain Saw”.

Nonsense, can the project that can make 8 sequel movies be great?

He can't let it go. This is the company's trump card, but people can't offend it too hard. After all, Paramount is also a good partner.

Lehman declined: ”I don't count this alone. Ryan is also a shareholder of the company and needs his approval.”

The idea fell through, and Shirley Lansing said: ”The project that Mr. Lehman cooperated with Warner, I don't know how the revenue between you is divided?”

Speaking of this, she was still a bit stuck.

Even more dissatisfied with Lehman, such a big thing was hidden from Paramount, and in the end, the so-called partner got the news from Warner.

Lehman said: ”Almost 46%, they give priority to 15% of the box office revenue in terms of distribution. What, if ”Chain Saw 2” is released, can the distribution contract be reduced?”

Shirley Lansing shook her head and said, ”15% is already pretty good, and Paramount's publicity resources are not bad, right?”

Unless it is self-produced and sold, the issuance terms will be set too high or too low, otherwise it will fluctuate between 10% and 25%.Look at their respective negotiation skills.

”Forget it, let's talk about ”Micro Love”. Regarding the schedule, how does Paramount arrange it?”

Seeing that the other party couldn't offer a better offer, Lehman didn't want to continue talking, anyway, it was impossible for him to return to the previous situation.Talking more is not helpful.
