Chapter 90

The project team invested by Goldman Sachs has a relatively laissez faire attitude towards the adaptation of the film and TV series.

If it is successful, it is an effective propaganda in the financing and even listing of the website.

If it fails, then you can get the dominant position of the website and control the enterprise completely.

Although, compared with many enterprises with an estimated value of over 100 million on the Internet, this small website is insignificant.

However, it not only dabbles in the entertainment industry, but also has a stable profit point, which is what Goldman Sachs attaches great importance to.

But under the collective will, everyone's interests are different.

As a project leader, Lehmann sincerely hopes that the project will fail.

In this way, he will have the opportunity to control the decision-making power of the website on behalf of Goldman Sachs.

At that time, with the strong capital and contacts of Goldman Sachs, the website will become bigger and stronger.

I can't be a senior partner of Goldman Sachs.

That means he will become the top group of people in the capital circle of the United States and even the world.

Have a lot of wealth, and huge influence!

He was a little worried that the website would provide a story with less production cost and well conceived ideas.

After all, that Wang Jian once wrote "knowledge is power", and there are countless strange works on the website.

But when he finished reading the faxed works, he put his heart into his stomach.

The next morning in the Goldman Sachs project room.

When Lehmann distributed the work to other members of the group, he watched the reaction of the people present.

The group leader of the elderly white man, after less than 10 minutes, put down his work and puffed out his cigar.

It's like straight man watching playboy.

Lehmann smiles and looks around at the other members.

Some people take off their eyes, rub their eyes hard, some people drink coffee, their faces turn green

"This is the website that provides the work?" The only black man in the group said, "do donkeys kick their brains?"

With a shrug and a smile, Lehmann said, "maybe it's because of the cost of production, or because of Hollywood's bad movies?"

The project leader coughed softly and said helplessly: "it seems that we can't recover the cost of 700000 dollars."

He picked up "prison break", hand can not stop shaking, "now the key problem is, with our shares in hand, how to let CBS play the film and television drama adapted from this."

"To tell you the truth, it's beyond my imagination that the works are so rotten!"

"The other shareholders of CBS may resist collectively."

"It's not a big problem to change to the schedule in the morning or late at night?" "After all, Goldman has a vote on the CBS board," Lehmann hastened

The project leader rubbed his wrinkled face with both hands, "that's it. We agreed to contact the website."

"Get ready to sign a bet."

He got up slowly and walked out of the meeting room slowly.

But all of a sudden, the project leader seemed to think of something, said: "in the film catalog, CO producer don't write my name."

People: "I'm sorry.

Soon, Wang Jian and they received a reply.

Goldman Sachs agreed to the works selected by the website and faxed a final version of the gambling agreement after negotiation.

The general content is: the two sides each invested 700000, a total of 1.4 million US dollars, for the production of the film and television drama "prison break".

Goldman Sachs will guarantee that the film and TV series can log on to CBS TV network.

If the average audience rating of prison break can reach 40% of friends, the website will win the bet.

Goldman Sachs will buy a 30% stake in the website for $6 million.

Moreover, it guarantees that the tax exemption qualification of the "literary creators" charity fund will pass the IRS examination.

If the ratings are not up to standard, Goldman Sachs wins.

Goldman will take a 50% stake in the site for $7.5 million.

And, still will have the dominant power that website continues financing.

After Tom and Matthew had reviewed the agreement, Wang Jian looked at it with a long sigh.

Man is the butcher, I am the fish.

This is the situation. We can't do without signing.

So, two days later.

In the famous Goldman Sachs office building in Manhattan, New York.

Accompanied by Tom, Wang Jian exchanged agreements with the project manager of Goldman Sachs.

The funds agreed by the two sides will also be put into a public account within a week for the production of films and TV plays.

After returning to his desk with the agreement, Wang Jian began to assign work."Tom, you'll monitor the use of the money." "We don't have as much money as Goldman Sachs," Wang said. "We try to spend every cent on the edge."

"As for the choice of directors and actors..."

He looked up at Tom and Dorsey.

But the two men stepped back at the same time, and said with one voice: "we don't understand film and television production at all."

"Besides, you decided to choose that work."

Wang Jian turned black and nodded helplessly.

At this time, the same black face Lehmann also walked out of the meeting room.

He has just been honored as co producer of prison break for Goldman Sachs.

He will be responsible for docking and coordinating with the website.

After deducting the $100000 license fee that will be paid to Sarah, the production cost of prison break has been reduced to $1.3 million.

In fact, in terms of the level of prison break, it makes perfect sense to give an authorization fee of $40000 or $50000.

But both Wang Jian and Lehmann have no objection to the $100000 authorization fee.

Only they know what they think.

In this way, "prison break" crew in two rookie producers in place, began to look for director, actor.

Fortunately, the production mechanism of American dramas is perfect, and the directory of directors and actors' unions is also available.

This allows Wang Jian and Lehmann to contact each other directly through the contact information in the trade union, instead of searching all over the world.

And Hollywood movies, the director as the leading group is different.

The production of American dramas is usually dominated by screenwriters.

The director's responsibility is to keep the shooting smooth and consistent with the style of the TV series.

This has directly led to the decline of the threshold of American drama directors, and a large number of artists, photographers and lighting engineers who are interested in entering Hollywood take American drama as a springboard.

At the moment, just as the artist of the film "tank girl", Katherine hadwick, who finished the task, put down the phone in doubt.

I got an interview as a director.

It's just that the investors are Goldman Sachs and a website?

How can this crew feel so unreliable.

Moreover, most of the novels adapted into American dramas are well-known bestsellers.

But I have never heard of prison break.

She hesitated for a moment, turned on the computer and began to search.
