27 Chapter 27 Reaching Cooperation (Recommendation for Collection) (1/2)

”Happy cooperation!”

”Happy cooperation!”

In a meeting room of the hotel, Lehmann exchanged contracts with the short-haired man, and then handed the briefcase containing all the film copies of ”Buried alive” to Arman next to him.Since then, this movie has basically nothing to do with him except for the production list and the names of the shooting team and others.

The legal lawyers hired by the two parties nearby witnessed the transaction.

Just yesterday, people from Europa Films had a last round of see-saw negotiations with him, and gave Lehman a difficult condition to refuse.

In addition to the payment of 2 million euros in copyright fees, they are also willing to give a 30% box office dividend, and promised Europa Pictures will appropriately invest in Lehman's next work and provide distribution channels for it.

According to the short-haired man, we are all compatriots from the same country and should help.

Of course, Lehman didn't believe in this nonsense, but the conditions they really gave were indeed the best among all the publishers these days, so he agreed.

And the reason why after agreeing again, I still vaguely said to cooperate with the people of Miramax, it was nothing more than disgusting them. From the beginning to the end, Lehman didn't believe in them. If you have this opportunity, add a block, why not Do it?

With the signing of the contract, the short-haired man did not intend to be polite and reminded: ”We will fly back to France in a few days, and we will notify you when the film is scheduled to be released.”

”Ok.”

The short-haired man smiled and motioned to the two colleagues behind to pack up his belongings, and reached out and shook his hand with Lehman, ”I hope I still have a chance to collaborate on your next film.”

Lehman also smiled politely, ”As you wish.”

He is already very happy with the smooth transaction this time. The copyright fees are a lot of money. Coupled with subsequent releases, if the market performance of ”Buried Alive” is not bad, then he will be happier.

For so many days, we have worked so hard to find ways to maximize profits.

After the three returned to the hostel, Lyman sat on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although many people set out the conditions, they finally signed the contract and sold the copyright of ”Buried Alive”, and the sense of reality was truly realized.

As soon as he was about to say something, Ryan rushed up and pressed on him.

”Make money, make money, Lehman, we succeeded.” Well, he looked more excited, and probably didn't vent his emotions along the way, which made him hold back.

Lyman slapped him on the back and saw that he didn't respond. Then he pressed his shoulder with his right hand and pushed him to the side. He slowly sat up and said, ”Thomas, open the window, it's too hot here. .”

Even a fan is displayed in this broken hotel, and the switch does not turn.

Seeing this, Thomas walked across the wall and pushed the window open.

The cool wind blows in and takes away the indoor temperature.

Very comfortable!

Thomas returned to his bed, unbuttoned two shirts in a row, grasped the neckline without breaking, feeling the flow of air, took a breath, and then said: ”How long will we go back?”

”Go and book the air tickets, and we will leave tomorrow.”

After selling the film rights, the Venice Film Festival is not over, but it is not where Lehmann wants to stay.

It lasted for nearly a week, and gained so much. What's not satisfying?

This time, they came to the right.

The next day, the three packed their luggage and took the flight back to France.

After leaving the airport, the three took a taxi back to Lehman's residence.

Next is the processing of some things.

Two million euros in copyright fees have been paid to Lehman and Ryan's studio accounts. This money involves a large amount and must be used only after taxation.

Although Lehmann doesn't want to pay the money out of thin air, the French tax office is not a vegetarian. It is better to be honest.

But although it is necessary to pay taxes, there are reasonable tax avoidance methods or some money can be saved.

The transaction for ”Buried Alive” was carried out under the name of Mann Studio, which was registered in Cannes.

So they went to a relevant lawyer, and after paying more than 200,000 yuan on his suggestion, they handled it properly.

This funding has also changed from 2 million euros to about 1.8 million.

Busy till the evening, the three of them went to a high-end restaurant and had a big meal before returning to each.

Lyman closed the door and lay directly on the bed. After this period of busyness, especially after the tension of the mental door, he felt that the bones of his body seemed to fall apart.

However, thinking that he had successfully taken the first step and accumulated a sum of money, the corners of his mouth were raised unconsciously, and he smirked.

From the moment of madness, he has never confided his pressure, cheated investment, and then went to project preparation, shooting, post-production, and seeking distribution.

Step by step, they are all betting.

Even if he fails, he will go to another place with unknown future and fight again, but fortunately, good luck is on his side.

Lehman thought about his own harvest, and was infinitely satisfied.

A director, without the scenery in front of the stage, has the same sense of accomplishment.
