Regardless of whether Lu Ganren was truly convinced or not, Avengers Film and Television Company gradually took a prototype in the day-to-day quarrels between Fang Lanshen and the others.
The name is a bit mediocre, but it's also very impressive.
Once the Avengers series of movies is successful in the future, as long as the company's title is displayed, it will make people think of the Avengers, which will definitely have a certain publicity effect.
In the quarrel, Paramount, which was the strongest and most famous, clearly had the upper hand.
No matter how reluctant Fang Lanshen and Zhou An are, they cannot deny the fact that although Paramount has been miserable in recent years, the Forbidden City and Lotus are thriving, but in terms of international influence,
The two Chinese giants combined are probably on par with Paramount, or even worse.
Whenever a movie has the Paramount logo on it, it will look a little higher.
So Fang Lanshen and Zhou An became depressed due to the quarrel.
"You're a poor guy, but you still want to take the big one!"
When he saw Sun Peng again after half a month, Fang Lanshen's mentality was a little explosive. He kept chattering until he walked into the conference room: "He didn't even think about it. The company conservatively estimated that it would have to invest 500 million."
US dollars in cash, if you want to get the big deal, you have to invest at least 200 million US dollars... Based on Paramount's current situation, can they come up with that much money?"
The US$500 million was the result of Fang Lanshen and Zhou An's desperate persistence.
If Tim Hardaway follows Tim Hardaway's idea, it would actually be enough to inject 100 million into the new company. After all, the filming will be done in cooperation with the three giants, and the investment in the film can also be financed by loans, or even financing from other companies...
But Zhou An and Fang Lanshen ignored his statement at all.
For this kind of series with a high probability of making money, they may be able to accept loans, but they will never allow other companies to get involved. Isn’t that just cooking the food and waiting for outsiders to eat it? And when I think about it, because of the lack of funds, Paramount may
The shares will be reduced due to insufficient money, so the two bosses will naturally exert their full strength to persevere.
As far as money is concerned, it is still the money of our Chinese film company!
Although China’s box office capacity has been basically stationary in recent years, with ups and downs, and has always been hovering at the level of 100 billion Hua Xia dollars, after all, it is large enough, and the proportion of domestic movies in the box office is getting higher and higher.
Those film companies that are developing well are very rich.
As film and television giants, Forbidden City Pictures and Lotus Pictures are of course making a lot of money.
You know, they not only make movies, but also TV series. The Chinese TV series market is even larger, and it also has a stronger influence overseas. Especially in Southeast Asia, well-produced Chinese TV series are very popular. Compared with previous
For the popular Japanese dramas and Korean dramas in recent years, the number of high-quality ones is also greater.
So even though the Forbidden City and Lotus are huge, they are still in the process of rapid development.
Even if the company has insufficient liquidity, it is easy to get a loan.
In comparison, although Paramount is an established giant, it has also fallen into the common problems of this type of company: it is bloated, slow, and huge! Making movies is inherently a very risky thing, even if it is like Paramount
Such companies have also fallen into the same situation as on earth.
After a string of failures over the past few years, Paramount has become deeply in debt.
So for Tim Hardaway, the best outcome is that Avengers Pictures is a shell company that controls the copyright of Lao Bai's script, and then Paramount gets the filming and distribution rights for most of the movies.
Things will be easier to operate.
Anyway, it is very easy to get a loan for Lao Bai's scripts nowadays.
Then Fang Lanshen and Zhou An were not vegetarians. They immediately figured out Tim Hardaway's thoughts. Naturally, they insisted on investing in Avengers Pictures, and at least 500 million US dollars... In fact, at the beginning, they
The figure proposed was one billion US dollars, and they wanted to squeeze Paramount in this way. If the two companies had not invested heavily and the financial pressure was also great, they would even have proposed US$1.5 billion...
Sun Peng naturally knew all of this.
Although he supports domestic companies, the figure of one billion US dollars is still too exaggerated. Even Sun Peng thinks that US$500 million is inappropriate. After all, ten movies cannot be shot in one go, and not all the funds can be used.
We need Avengers Pictures to come up with it, even if we inject 500 million US dollars, it won’t be all spent.
However, Sun Peng knew what Fang Lanshen and the others were thinking, so he smiled and shook his head and said: "Mr. Fang, don't underestimate Paramount. If nothing else, if Tim Hardaway sells their film library
If you just throw it away, you dare to say that it’s not worth billions of dollars? How much money can’t be borrowed using the film library as collateral?”
"……Too."
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Lanshen nodded helplessly.
For a Hollywood giant like Paramount that has survived for nearly a hundred years, the most valuable asset is not their office building or the few series of movies they hold, but the thousands of old movies in their copyright library.
Movies. Especially in this era of online media, when major video websites are investing heavily in enriching their film libraries, the copyrights of those movies are even more valuable.
So if things get really desperate, the money Paramount can offer will not be less than the two of them.
So after entering the conference room, Fang Lanshen's face quickly calmed down, and he greeted Zhou An and Tim Hardaway with a smile on his face, as if he hadn't said anything just now.
In the past half month, of course, it was not him and Tim Hardaway who were negotiating. After all, as bosses, they were too busy. However, the progress of their respective subordinates was reported in real time, and they all knew which movie they were talking about now.
But today Fang Lanshen, Zhou An and Tim Hardaway gathered together again, not to continue negotiations personally.
After everyone chatted with each other for a while, Tim Hardaway, who was impatient, immediately said: "Sun, can we start?"
"Of course, anytime."
Nodding, Sun Peng took out a USB flash drive from his pocket.
Without him having to do anything, someone naturally helped insert the USB flash drive into the computer, and then opened the slides inside. When they saw that there were more than 270 pages in the slides, the three bosses in the conference room suddenly brightened up and became energetic.
Highly concentrated.
The storyboard script of "Iron Man", this is the purpose of their visit today.
No matter how the three companies argue, they argue over the shares of Avengers Pictures, the ownership of film copyrights and distribution rights, after all, they are just words. If they really want to sign for money and invest resources, in the final analysis, it will still be
You have to read the storyboard before you can make up your mind.
After all, that’s an investment in hundreds of millions, and it’s still US dollars!
So not only Fang Lanshen and Tim Hardaway, but also a lot of evaluators from their respective companies came to evaluate whether this movie is worth the price at the first time!
only……
While everyone was waiting for Sun Peng to start, he frowned and waved: "Sorry, in addition to the slideshow file labeled "Iron Man", there is also a file for "Avengers", help me
