The investment has already been recognized by everyone, and the subsequent negotiations are mostly on the production side.
For this kind of internal cooperation in the industry, everyone knows how to operate it, and there is no one who takes advantage of others.
If you can agree, you can shoot together. If you don't agree, you can't force it.
Li is such a reason, but it really involves a specific cooperation plan, which is quite difficult to talk about.
Although Warner Bros. holds the copyright of Batman and can dominate the negotiations, but because the main risk is borne by Firefly Pictures, Lehman has always wanted to get more cooperation.
Therefore, it is inevitable that it is still very cumbersome.
”In terms of finance, we must introduce an insurance company recognized by both parties as a third-party guarantee.” Lehman suggested.
”It's not a problem.” Barry Meyer said and looked at the contract several times. ”You already have plans for a sequel...”
Above, impressively marked the production concept of the trilogy.
”We thought of when we were creating the structure of the whole story. It is impossible to shape the image of Batman in our minds with just one piece.” Lehman explained: ”If the first one is successful, it is impossible not to continue. Develop Batman, right. A more reasonable and complete creative plan is also good for the entire project.”
”Well, good idea.” Barry Meyer raised an eyebrow and looked at Lyman and Nolan, who was calm.
On such occasions, as a director, he has an objective attitude of speaking less.
”How about the guarantor choosing the fire insurance fund company under Allianz Group?” Lehman said again.
Regarding the capital budget, Lehman decisively chose a fire insurance fund company that had cooperated several times and underwritten several business operations.
Of course, Warner will also worry about Firefly Pictures’ investment tricks. For example, the amount of funding does not match the predetermined shooting budget. Choosing such an insurance company with the best reputation in the industry and the most proficient business is a one for everyone. Guaranteed.
This is the most used insurance company in the circle, and Barry Meyer and other Warner executives have no opinion.
”As for the sequel, Nolan and I mean to establish a cooperative relationship with Warner Bros. on the entire follow-up project.”
At this time, Joshua Bloomer, who had been watching, said, ”I think there is no need to draw conclusions so early. The first part has not been produced yet, let's see the effect first.”
”What?” Lyman dumbfounded, looking at Barry Meyer.
Barry Meyer is also a personal spirit. He advised: ”Warner Bros. also hopes to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Firefly Pictures, but for the Batman project, we need to see results, and we did not agree so quickly.”
Borrowing external funds to produce movies, from the perspective of overall management, Warner Bros. does not suffer.
The one who suffers is the production department. This is the project they should be responsible for, even if they are powerless and unable to develop it, but is this a gift to others?
As for Barry Meyer, he completely followed the company's remarks and followed what Joshua said.
Lehman was unhappy, and began to fight for reasons. ”Once the first film is successful, the subsequent development will be a matter of course. Then we worked hard and took such a big risk to shoot. Isn’t there no room for participation? We want to cooperate with predetermined goals.”
Joshua just habitually maintains the right to speak in his own department. Seeing Lehman saying this, he also opened his mouth and said: ”Well then, if the first film can recover its investment in the box office, Firefly Pictures can participate in subsequent projects. Development, but only limited to the latter two parts of the overall concept, and the investment model does not have such a large profit margin as the first part.”
The Big Six in Hollywood are still so shameless.
