Firefly Pictures, in the president's office.
Lehman first conceived the sub-shot script of ”Daydreamer” for a while.
Then I watched the shooting progress of ”New York Trip”.
If it goes well, this movie will be the work recommended by the owners of Firefly Shadow this Christmas.
The guiding ability is still good, there have been no major problems on the set, and everything is going according to the planned shooting plan.
After a while, Lyman received a call from Nolan, saying that it was to be together tomorrow.
According to him, the plot setting of the script needs to be grasped.
Of course Lyman had no objection.
Throughout the morning, Lehman was busy with work and approved Joseph's dismissal of two marketing employees.
The old people of Rodrian Films in the past were accustomed to a relaxed and leisurely rhythm. Now they are suddenly full of vitality. The size of the project is constant, but it is slowly unable to keep up.
There are some people who cannot adapt, and there are others who have insufficient abilities and cannot make progress. Such people will naturally be eliminated by the company.
Hollywood, the most indispensable is talents in the film and television industry.
In the afternoon, Lionsgate’s executive officer Jon Fellermei brought people from the distribution department to visit.
For the release of ”Hellboy”.
It took two days for Gyro to stay together. After finishing the credits for the opening and closing credits, the people at Lionsgate couldn't wait and immediately ran over to discuss.
Lionsgate is still very ambitious and does not lack action.
The two sides met and made a few polite words, which also entered the topic and negotiated directly.
”Our condition is that your company pays half of the publicity fee and takes 90% of the producer’s revenue. We are responsible for the distribution. We also pay half of the publicity fee and take the issuer’s revenue. Taxes incurred during the period must be deducted first.”
What does this mean?
In fact, the money for the announcement is paid out by everyone, and half of the money. Excluding theaters, taxes, and box office profits, Lionsgate accounts for all of the distribution income plus Firefly Pictures 10% of the producer’s profit to Lionsgate. .
It sounds like it is better than Paramount and Warner. After all, both of them basically get 15% of the issuing conditions.But don’t forget that no one at Lionsgate has such a powerful publicity channel. Media resources are inherently disadvantaged.
Of course Lehman shouldn't jump in such a pit.
If only this discount is given, he might as well cooperate with Paramount and Warner. If the announcement is strong, the total box office will be higher. Maybe the more part is more and more profitable than the saved part.
Furthermore, although ”Hellboy” is not a work after the top is mature, it lacks a bit of humanistic thinking, but the unique art style is definitely not bad, and it still has great profit potential.
Lionsgate’s sincerity is not enough.
Lehman said in a very targeted manner: ”On the announcement, you are not the six major rivals of Hollywood at all. Since I did not choose them, but intends to cooperate with Lionsgate, what do you think I am after?”
Jon Fellermei smiled awkwardly.
Is this unclear? Knowing that Lionsgate can be more favorable and profitable, and the relationship between supply and demand will be more unequal.Everyone is not a fool.
If you can't let the fireflies benefit more, why bother to join forces with Lionsgate?
Does Lionsgate have a unique distribution advantage?
Of course, negotiation is not done overnight.
Just this time, I just tested the bottom line of cooperation a little bit. After all, I really want to agree that Lionsgate can make a little bit more.
This is also a negotiation strategy to lower the other party’s psychological expectations, and don’t really bully Lionsgate as a big money.
Jon Fellermei smiled and asked, ”Mr. Lyman, what terms do you want to cooperate with?”
