127 Chapter 127 Black Crime (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)

After tentatively agreeing on a new project with Europa Pictures, Lehmann stayed in the hotel where he lived in Paris for the next few days.

In addition to writing a filming schedule every day, I was thinking about which actors would be suitable for movies of this theme.

Sometimes it’s annoying to write reports, and occasionally I would go to Europa Films to sit and chat with Luc Besson, or visit their newly built studio.

It took almost 4 days, and also with the help of Ryan, to refine the entire script again, and then submit it to Europa Films Marketing Department for review and management together with the detailed shooting plan.

And for projects with this kind of investment quota, I want to review the work and investigate the market prospects of the project not too quickly. Even with the support of Luc Besson, such a large company always has to satisfy all the management. It is estimated that he still has some free time.

In this way, Lyman and Ryan went back to Cannes, waiting for the news, while improving the studio.

Come to think of it, Mann’s studio has been established for two years, and the financial aspect is still linked to a local accounting firm, letting them help pay taxes or clear up financial payments.

Now that I want to make the studio more formal, in addition to buying the shooting equipment, the corresponding management system must also keep up...

Two days later, the agent Johnson also rushed to Cannes to discuss new projects with him.

”Investment of 100 million US dollars.” In Lehman's home, Johnson couldn't help exclaiming while sitting on the sofa listening to the investment quota for the new project.

This is really the biggest project he has served since joining the work, and he immediately felt a pressure.

But after thinking about it again, is it not his opportunity?If this project can be successfully completed, not to mention the monetary return on the rake, it will have an unparalleled role in promoting his career in CAA.

This involves a big production of 100 million U.S. dollars, and Hollywood produces only four or five of the same level a year, and they are all production projects of those first-tier manufacturers.

He must hold onto it.Johnson thought to himself.

”Europa Pictures is now reviewing this project. I think there will be a result after this period of time. You have to pay attention.”

”Still working with them?”

”Of course, they are the first choice. If it doesn't work, they will send out news to contact other publishers.”

”okay, I get it.”

”If possible, try to urge them to set up the project as soon as possible. I don't want to wait too long.” Lyman sat opposite Johnson and ordered.

”Well, then,” Johnson asked tentatively, ”Are you still planning to invest? In this project.”

Hearing this question, Lehman spread his hands and said with certainty: ”My current studio has a very good book income. If I invest, I must fight for it, but I don't know how much Europa Pictures is willing to give up.”

Having said that, Lehman thought for a while, and asked curiously: ”Johnson, you said I should have the capital to offer better terms to the producer now? How much do you think we need?”

”Of course there is capital.” Johnson nodded very surely.

In Hollywood, as a director, three consecutive movies have been profitable, and the results have been quite effective, and even a small golden man, in any case, will be qualified to negotiate terms.

”I think you can now propose a base salary of 10 million U.S. dollars plus a 10% box office revenue share. Of course, it is not easy to say in terms of investment quota. It depends on the determination or courage of Europa Pictures. They don’t want to give up, so it’s useless if we say more.”

Lehman also understands this principle, and he will not reluctantly, ”Try to talk about this. My bottom line is to account for 10% of the total revenue share. It can be calculated by factoring in the director's salary.”

”Okay, I understand.”

After talking with the agent Johnson, Lehman re-entered the working condition. The studio hired two financial managers to be responsible for the daily operation. Thomas also rushed over from Lyon and joined the studio to manage the shooting equipment. In this way, I can barely set up the frame, so I don’t have to worry about the rest.

On the other side, Johnson is in high spirits. After receiving the service entrustment from Lehman, he actively and frequently contacts with many managements of Europa Films to promote the review of new film projects.

The success of ”Furious” and the rake that he got, as well as the greater benefits of this project in the future, gave him infinite motivation.
