488 Chapter 483 Cool History in the Digital Realm (seeking subscription tickets) (2/2)

From another perspective, the existence of the digital field has left very classic works in the film industry, but it has never been independent economically.

But the producer is actually right. I will give you the project and you will complete the work for me. As for the suppression of the bidding industry, what matters to them, they only need to keep the expenditure as low as possible.

Therefore, if VFX companies want to survive, they must have stable profit channels.

But Cameron has no confidence, his good friend Stan Winston has also left the digital field, he also wants to sell the baggage.

If it weren’t for the price offered by the old rival Industrial Light & Magic that could not satisfy Cameron at all, and his attitude was arrogant, he didn’t think the digital field might be taken over by Industrial Light & Magic. Two years earlier, the digital field would have changed its owner.

Since then, the fate of this company, which is enough to rank among the top three in the special effects industry, has been tossed.

It was first sold to Indian giants, Reliance Media, and then sold to Xiangjiang Aoliang Group in 13 years, completely transforming the VR field...

And Industrial Light & Magic relies on the industry's first position, can pull more opportunities, and has the ”Star Wars” series guarantee; as for Weta Digital, it is endorsed by the New Zealand government, and the policies provided are very good, plus Peter- Jackson’s ”Lord of the Rings Trilogy” has just passed, and marketing is doing well.

Even so, if you say you have made a lot of money, it is not true, because the special effects technology needs to burn money all the time, and the burn is very strong, and the money earned is invested again...

Understand this, it is not difficult to know why Cameron wants to sell the ”lost goods” in the digital field. He has no relationship with the management. It is rare to go to the factory in the digital field once a year. Ignore, let them take responsibility for their own profits and losses, and don't talk about making money.

After all, once friends have become strangers.

As for Lehmann hearing this news, he had the idea of ​​buying the digital domain.

Visual effects are definitely the mainstream of future movies, even now.

However, the burden is real.

Even if Cameron really wants to sell his shares, he is not selling at a cheap price. The market value of the digital field is still 300 million US dollars. Even if it is discounted to 150 million, Lehman can't get it out.

In other words, the acquisition of a distribution company has exhausted the savings Firefly Pictures has saved over the past two years.

No matter how good the performance of ”The Walking Dead” is, no matter how much subscription fee HBO gets, the split with Lehman will not be done all at once.

Even if hundreds of millions of dollars of funds are just thrown into the bank, there will be a considerable amount of interest, who is not dragging it.

Film directors and well-known actors have too many lawsuits with studios in order to get their own share.

Warner is trying to maintain the relationship with Firefly, and it is impossible to split the accounts in advance, at most it will not delay in accordance with the contract.

Moreover, Lehman was thinking about returning the money to Gusta. The money owed to the banker was not so good.

Where should I find money?

Lehman in the digital realm does not want to miss it.
