Robert freiman, the former executive chairman of Paramount Pictures, is, to be honest, tired of paramount's factional struggle and the excessive interference of the parent company Viacom and the Redstone family in the film company.
Since Sherry Lansing left paramount in 2004, paramount lost her way. In 2005, she acquired DreamWorks. The whole paramount seems to have entered the era of DreamWorks, relying too much on Spielberg as the big director.
When Robert Freeman left paramount, Spielberg officially launched his transformers project. The main reason why rob was persuaded by Peirce, the founder of pinnacle, is that he also has a film company that has developed through his own efforts and is equal to the six major film companies.
Ambition is very big, but the road ahead is full of twists and turns, especially in the last few months. The constant internal friction makes him think that his ambition and Pierce's are more like a joke.
Who knows that the situation has changed, but things have developed to a point that no one had thought of. He is really entrusted with the important task by the 22-year-old boss in front of him. It's so exciting and joyful that everything has come.
"Boss, my ideas are market segmentation, low-cost portfolio investment, in-depth mining of derivative income, stable cash flow of copyright library, resource leverage of cooperative filming, and diversified financing channels and financial platforms, which are also important means to improve yield and reduce risk."
Andy listened carefully to Robert Freeman's development plan and knew that what he planned was a successful growth path for Gu Li film company, without the support of a powerful financial group behind it.
"Before pinnacle, after all, it was a distribution company. Although there were many movie copyrights, if the copyright library wanted to form a stable cash flow, it would not be able to do so." Carl said in a light way, he is very interested in copyright, after all, he is now in Hollywood to eat this meal.
"I know that, of course, but we have three killer maces in our hands, and even six of them fail to let us go more." dance out of my life "," Twilight city "and" hunger game ". Do you think those investment banks and private equity funds are stingy? Believe it or not, I'm sending out a message today. To raise money to shoot any series, there will be a large number of people waving cheques to invest in the door?
But everyone knows that there will be no movie company to invest in this popular series of films, so now the best way is to continue to invest in small-cost films, take out a good script and find a large company to cooperate to make films, so as to save money to invest in our own series of electric films, and establish our leading position in Hollywood youth films through these three series 。
As for the film library, we can find some movie companies facing bankruptcy and bankruptcy to purchase, or even find banks to purchase loans, introduce wall street people, and conduct private financing. "
Andy felt his chin and thought carefully. He had a problem with Carl. He had a special preference for copyright IP. He seemed to think of something. His eyes narrowed slightly. His hand touched his chin stopped and looked up at rob.
"Rob, do you know the legend industry?"
"Well, you know, a film investment company founded by a group of investors who don't know the film is similar to relativistic media. If the company doesn't play well, it is bankrupt. After all, the recovery cycle and accounting calculation of the film business have the characteristics of a long cycle, which leads to a large amount of capital demand. These cash flow demands are made up by borrowing again and again Chain breakage is only a matter of time. "
Andy expressed his admiration for Robert Freeman's major. This is the real talent. Everything here in Hollywood is Menqing. Where is the level of Karl's halfling comparable.
"I mean, they have signed a cooperation agreement with Warner, and even part of Batman's IP intellectual property rights have been separated by them, and my inception has also been introduced into the legendary film industry by Warner. You say, if I take the superman that they have been playing badly for subsequent shooting, the gorilla, and the IPS like magic woman and lightning man will be bought Come on, what do you think? "
what terrified Rob Freeman looked at the young boss, his mouth twitched, the black line of his forehead, and he looked at the fat man who turned his eyes, but no accident. What was Carle's mind make complaints about? I dare to think that unless Warner's people are crazy, even if Warner agrees, DC's people will not give their heroes to others.
"Cough, boss, it's a bit impractical. No matter Warner or DC, they would rather rot the copyright in their hands than sell it to others. It's possible to cooperate in shooting. Maybe the copyright of IP derivatives can also get some, but if you want to buy it, boss, you still don't want to think about it."
"No, no, rob, how do you know if you haven't tried? Didn't Carl buy the crazy max series the same time ago, so everything is possible..."
"What? You bought Mad Max? " Robert freiman heard the boss's words, very surprised, looking at the fat man around him, I felt for the first time that the fat man was a little skilled.
Carl's mouth is cocked up, his brows are raised and his hands are spread out. It's nothing, so easy.Robert Freeman frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the patient boss: "boss, Superman can't think about it. They won't even let us participate in the investment. DC is not surprising. They need to sell the copyright of their superheroes to make profits. They built their own superhero team very early. Their superhero's copyright is hard to get, no matter it's magic Nvxia, Blitzkrieg and green arrow are all the leading characters in their comics. It's hard. It's really hard.
That King Kong is possible. After all, it has been photographed many times, but it's not very valuable. It's hopeful to sign it if you pay some price. "
Andy is a little disappointed. He also knows that he is a little whimsical. After all, DC Comics have been integrated by Warner Bros. a long time ago. I don't know how many superhero movies have been made. It's not comparable to the death making Marvel comics.
Seeing the disappointed boss, rob bit his teeth and said: "otherwise, I'll try to find out. I heard that Warner has started the magic woman project, but it's stranded again because of the script. Maybe there's a glimmer of hope. I can't take part of the copyright. But in recent years, DC's transformation has been very fierce. If it's not Nolan, Batman Bat Man will die like superman
"Ha ha, OK, I'll leave it to you. I hope you can bring me good news. I'll leave it to you. I'll go to the new office to have a look..."
Andy smiled contentedly. He still didn't give up. Besides, he didn't try how to know it wasn't possible. Then he clapped his butt and went to see his new office at Summit Entertainment.
The fat man, Karl, got up and wanted to follow him, but he was caught by Robert Freeman behind him.
"Carl, we need to talk about..."
Carl looked back at Rob Freeman with a kind smile. He was so uncomfortable that he beat a cicada. Even an idiot knew what the old boy had to do to calculate himself.
"Don't look at me that way. We've been working together for so long. In this way, I'll treat you in the evening. Let's have a drink together..."
"What do you want to do to be frank? Your smile is a little dark..."
"Ha ha, don't say that. Tell me how you got the copyright of crazy max."
Carl chubby's face showed a funny expression, shook his head and said, "I wanted to make this idea. I can talk about it, but hey hey, you can't give less to the interests of my copyright company, box office share, derivatives peripheral."
Robert freiman took a few puffs from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were twinkling, he reached for the fat man's arm and said with a smile: "ha ha, it's easy to say, it's all a family, how can it be easy to say..."
Carl rolled his eyes. The old boy scolded him just now. He will beg for himself. He is a family again.
Andy naturally didn't know how rob and Carl calculated each other. Seeing Pierce's original office has been cleaned up, it has no characteristics. It's not a little worse than his office in Newsweek building.
However, it's not bad. It's very modern decoration. Whether it's a desk or a sofa, there are some movie posters framed with pictures on the wall. There are movie posters produced and distributed by some companies, such as "two smoking guns", "vanilla sky" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
Andy is sitting in a comfortable boss chair, with a relaxed smile on his face, and another piece of puzzle on his career map has arrived.
