25 Chapter 25 A Meal Cooperate (Seeking Recommended Collection) (1/2)

Lyman sat quietly on the sofa and looked around quietly.

This is a hotel suite. At this time, all the windows are completely blocked by curtains, and no light can penetrate in.

An elegant wooden coffee table is placed in front of him, and a small screen is hung on the wall behind the coffee table, showing the movie ”Buried Alive”.

On the sofa to his right, the bald male Arman sat with his two colleagues, watching the film attentively, while Ryan sat on his left.

Thomas did not come this time, he still has a more important task to perform-continue to show movies at that intersection to attract the attention of more movie buyers, let them compete with each other and all enter the game.

Facts have proved that it is indeed beneficial to have the real foil of the audience. Two more people released their purchase intentions during the screening yesterday afternoon: Fox Searchlight and Focus Pictures.

In today's commercial society, people will not let go of any profitable project.

And ”Buried Alive” is like a bait that descends into the sea, attracting all kinds of fish and shrimps.

They have a huge appetite, and they won't even let go of cold dishes before meals.

As time passed, the screening came to an end.When the scene of Heath Ledger being buried alive appeared, the movie ended.

Lyman stepped forward and packed up the film copy. Arman on the other side also walked to the window and drew the curtains to let the closed suite embrace the light again.

”Director Lyman...” Arman was about to say something when he was interrupted by one of his colleagues, ”Can we discuss it separately? Sir.”

”Of course.” Lyman walked outside the door, and Ryan on the side also followed closely.

Whether the profits can be maximized, the most important thing is the quality of the film. As long as these film buyers feel that they can work and are willing to pay the price, this round can only be played, otherwise it will be useless to say more.

They are businessmen, and businessmen are most profit-oriented.

After leaving the suite, Lyman and Ryan waited in the corridor outside.

”Fox Searchlight also brought a viewing team.”

Lyman didn't go to the scene to show the movie yesterday, but lay in the hostel for a long time, pretending to meet people.The source said that two more have joined in, which is also what Ryan and Thomas reported after returning.

Ryan continued, ”They invited us to meet this afternoon, and Focus Pictures too. Which one shall we go to first?”

”Go to the Fox Searchlight first, and see the situation on the other side before making plans. Now, the initiative is in our hands.”

Ryan nodded, agreeing with Lyman's point of view.

Outside the suite, the two are still discussing the next operational matters, and Arman and others inside are also exchanging their opinions.

”Not bad, there is a certain value of issue.”

The first person who spoke was a man with short chestnut hair and the most powerful person in the company. ”However, this movie has a low audience and such a strong experimental style is destined to exclude a large audience.”

Another person also agreed quite agreeably, ”There is only one main character in the whole film, and the scene has not been changed. It is indeed innovative, but innovation also means risk.”

”Yes, so we have to consider what price to start with?” The short-haired man said again.

”1.7 million euros, how about it?” The man who spoke at the end continued: ”The film was handled well by the director, the narrative advancement is also very rhythmic, and the market audience is small, but it should also have a box office of five or six million. 1.7 million euros is by no means a loss.”

”But the first round of quotations is already at this price. Now that other distributors are eyeing this movie, it is impossible to think about the low price without risk.” Arman, who knows the situation best, said A basin of cold water.

The short-haired man thought about it carefully and said, ”If we negotiate, we will quote 1.8 million euros first, and then follow up the situation. The bottom line is around 2 million euros. Do you understand what I mean?”

After summing up, the three people quickly unified their opinions, ”Understand.”

When Lyman and Ryan returned to the suite again, the wooden coffee table had been removed, leaving a larger room for discussion.
