417 Chapter 415 (1/2)

The spacious meeting room.

The afternoon sun shines in from the French windows.

The management divided into two rows, everyone is listening carefully.

A very good picture scroll.

Everyone also smelled something.

When Lehman issued these two notices, many people were thinking separately.

Gains and losses, benefits, future?

At this time, Joseph, who had barely spoken, suddenly asked: ”Then, the production and distribution businesses have been separated. If there are these two companies, what is the status of the parent company? Who should hold the positions?”

Lyman looked at Joseph in amazement, and found that Joseph had a calm face, only some longing in his eyes.

As one of the former management of Columbia Pictures, he was transferred to the president of the British branch. He did a very good job in Firefly Pictures, and he was worthy of his worth.

”However, it is not a good thing to be promoted too early. There is no promotion. In ancient times, it would be thought of beheading.” Lehman muttered in his heart.

Of those present, only Joseph's status and prestige can be the first to say this.

Maybe Liam wanted to ask too, but he might have some scruples because of his new high position.

”I will arrange it.” Lehman didn't want to say anything, and changed the subject with a smile: ”It's just convenient for management. You still need to take care of the business.”

Of course he did this for more than one reason.

He has been thinking about the failure of DreamWorks for so many days.

A powerful film and television company that lacks works, talents, connections, and channels is just like that.

Although there is a certain degree of internal discord, the Big Three have their own concerns and cannot work together, but the main reason is that they do not have enough stable funding sources.

Just like Time Warner standing behind Warner, many European giants and big bankers like Guzman are standing behind the Lions. They won't get hurt because of several failures.

And second-tier companies like Lehman and DreamWorks are not necessarily.

Filming is always risky.

Historically, there was an unknown number of film works in which an investment production company closed down.

A ”Cut Throat Island” directly pitted Karlok, an independent production company with a hot box office performance for several years, into bankruptcy, and was finally acquired by MGM at a low price;

A ”Cleopatra” almost shut down 20th Century Fox, the capital chain broke, and it was relieved by the sale of its studios and company buildings;

A ”Heaven's Gate” also led to the bankruptcy of United American Film Corporation and was soon acquired by MGM...

And if the ”New York Trip” is too deficient, Firefly Pictures' liquidity will be gone, and Lehman still owes Guzman more than $108 million. Maybe it will apply for bankruptcy protection if it fails. It's too unsafe.

Therefore, Lehman’s real idea is that after the company grows, it can cross-swap control and equity through MAN Media, so that it can use the method of operating subsidiaries to get listed, and it will be easier to find more sufficient funding sources. .

But these need not be too explanatory.

......

When several matters were confirmed, the first enlarged meeting came to an end.

After being vaguely perfunctory, Joseph left without saying anything.

After the meeting, Lehman took Ryan to communicate separately.

Because of the reorganization of assets, the equity held by the two has changed again.
