74 Chapter 74 Negotiating Conditions (Seeking Recommended Collection) (1/2)

Lyman dragged his suitcase and walked into a hotel. After checking in, he came to the door of another room.

”Ding Dong, Ding Dong...” He gently pressed the doorbell.

After a while, the door opened, and the face of agent Johnson Brandon appeared in front of him. He smiled and said, ”Hello, Mr. Lyman.”

A simple greeting to his client, Johnson quickly moved aside the door and let Lehman in.

The two sat on the sofa, and Johnson Brandon made a cup of coffee with insight.

”How is the situation?” Lehman asked.

Just yesterday, Johnson-Blanton called and said that the negotiations had made significant progress, and he left Cannes and came to Paris.

Johnson-Blanton heard the words, took out a contract-style document from the drawer on the table, handed it to Lehman, and said: ”This is the condition after the renegotiation yesterday. You can check it out first.”

Lehmann took it and looked through it in detail.

”The investment share of 6 million U.S. dollars, and you can enjoy the income from the film in the same proportion. This is the condition that Europa Pictures loosened yesterday to bring capital into the group. What do you think?” Johnson Brandon smiled Asked.

He felt that the results of his two weeks of hard work were not in vain, and great results have been achieved. At least it can be regarded as the initial completion of the customer's idea.

”You did a good job, Johnson.” Lyman praised from the bottom of his heart.

”One more thing, you have to pay attention. Although Europa Pictures agreed to bring capital into the group, this part does not involve the profitability of the film after three years of painting.”

”I understand.” Lehman nodded, expressing his understanding.He actually never thought about owning the copyright income of the film for a long time.

Because according to the general film operation situation, if he shoots a film, the copyright of this part is in the hands of the production company, which is Europa Pictures, how can he share the long line after the film is drawn three years later? income.

Later, the two discussed some cooperation requirements that need to be guarded when contacting Europa Pictures.

Johnson Brandon was very enthusiastic and even passionate about this performance. After all, in front of Franklin, no one can be stable.

Seeing that the cooperation is about to be achieved, he will immediately get a 10% share of the salary from Lehmann. In addition, he can get 1% of the investment income of Mann Studio, which is not tolerated by him. Not caring.

After close discussions for most of the afternoon, Lyman returned to his room.

On the second day, Lyman, Johnson-Blanton, and a commissioned lawyer rushed to the headquarters of Europa Pictures in advance according to the time and place agreed by the two parties.

It is the high-level director of Europa Pictures, the director Luc Besson, who is in charge of receiving them.

”Lyman, we meet again.” He smiled and extended his right hand to show kindness.

His move undoubtedly gave Lehman a lot of face.

”Mr. Luc Besson, I am very happy to meet you.” Lyman was equally polite and polite.

The two exchanged a few words before walking into a conference room one after another.

With everyone seated, Luc Besson stopped going around in circles, took the script and project plan report submitted by Lehmann, and said with a smile: ”We Europa Pictures are very interested in this new project and want to talk to you. Keep working together.”

Lehman said modestly: ”This is my honour, and I am also very happy to cooperate with Europa Pictures.”

”Then, let's talk about the conditions.”

The two parties had met many times before, and the corresponding quotations and conditions were very clear, and they quickly cut into the theme of this meeting-that is, the real detailed agreement for cooperation is given.

Time lapsed from noon to about 4 pm. Under the witness of the lawyers of both sides, Lehman officially signed the project cooperation agreement for ”Furious”.

In duplicate, both signed his own name, and Lehmann exchanged the contract.

”Happy cooperation.”

”Happy cooperation!”

The two shook hands again to show friendship.

In this way, Lehman finally got what he wanted.

Since then, the producer and distributor of the ”Furious” project will be Europa Pictures. They will provide funding for most of the production budget of the film through financing, and the $6 million will be funded by Mann Studios. Responsible, of course, the copyright of the film is 100% in the hands of Europa Pictures. There is nothing to say about this.

Then, there is the issue of his personal salary.As the director of the film, he can get 2.7 million U.S. dollars, and 500,000 U.S. dollars for the screenwriter (most of it is Ryan's), totaling 3.2 million U.S. dollars, which will be paid in two installments, one before the filming , That is, you can get 1 million by signing the contract, and the latter part can only be obtained after the post-production of the film is completed.
