American Fortune Life

Robert Freeman, as the executive chairman of Paramount Pictures, was honestly tired of Paramount's factional struggles and parent company Viacom and the Redstone family's excessive interference in the film company.

Since Shirley Lansing left Paramount in 2004, Paramount has lost its way. In 2005, it bought DreamWorks. The entire Paramon seems to have entered the DreamWorks era and relied too much on Spielberg, the great director.

When Robert Freeman left Paramount, Spielberg officially launched his "Transformers" project. The main reason why Rob was persuaded by the founder of the peak, Pierce, is that he also has a movie company that has developed through his own efforts to be a parity with the six major movie companies.

The ambition is great, but the ups and downs, especially in the past few months, the continuous internal friction makes him think that his ambition and Pierce's ambition are more like a joke.

Who knows that the situation has changed suddenly, but the situation has developed to a point that no one had thought of. He was really entrusted with this young boss who is only 22 years old in front of him. Everything is so exciting.

"Boss, my thinking is market segmentation, low-cost portfolio investment, deep mining of derived income, stable cash flow of the copyright database, resource leveraging of cooperative filming, and diversified financing channels and financial platforms. Important means to reduce risk. "

Andy listened carefully to Robert Freman's development plan and knew that what he planned was a successful growth path for Gu Li Films, without the need for a successful consortium behind a successful way.

"After the peak, after all, it was a distribution company. Although there are many movie copyrights, if the copyright database is to form a stable cash flow, I am afraid it cannot be done." Carl said lightly, he was very concerned about copyright After all, he eats this meal in Hollywood now.

"Of course I know this, but we have three killers in our hands, not even six of them. We have three series of" Dance Out of My Life "," Twilight "and" Hunger Games ". Do you think those investment banks, Will private equity funds hold the beautiful knife in their hands? Believe it or not, I'm going to talk today to raise funds to shoot any series, and there will be a lot of people wielding checks to invest in the door?

But everyone knows that this blockbuster series of movies will not be offered by film companies for others to invest in, so the best way now is to continue funding for small-cost movies, and come up with good scripts to find large companies to cooperate in filming to save Funding for our own series of films, through these three series to establish our leadership in Hollywood youth films.

As for the film library, you can find some film companies facing bankruptcy and bankruptcy. You can even find banks to buy loans, introduce people on Wall Street, and conduct private equity financing. "

Andy touched his chin and thought carefully. He and Carl had a problem. They had a special preference for copyright ip. It seemed to be thinking about something. His eyes narrowed slightly, his hand touching his chin also stopped and looked up. Rob.

"Rob, do you know Legendary Pictures?"

"Well, I know, it is a film investment company founded by a group of investors who do not understand film. It is similar to the theory of relativity media. If such a company is not good, it is bankrupt. A lot of capital needs are generated, and these cash flow needs are made up by rounds of borrowing, and it is only a matter of time before the capital chain breaks. "

Andy expressed his admiration for Robert Freman's professionalism. This is the real talent. Everything in Hollywood is here, and where is the level of semi-consecutive Carl?

"I mean, they signed a cooperation agreement with Warner, and even part of Batman ’s IP intellectual property was taken away by them. My" Pirates of Dreams "was also introduced by Warner into the funds of Legendary Pictures. You Say, if I buy the superman who has played badly in the follow-up shooting, that gorilla, and IPs such as Wonder Woman and Flash, what do you think? "

Robert Freeman looked at the young boss with a stunned look, his mouth twitched a few times, a black line in his forehead, a glance at his eyes, but there was no accidental fat man Carl, and he was spitting in his heart. What? Really dare to think, unless Warner's people are crazy, even if Warner agrees, DC people will not give their heroes to others.

"Ahem, boss, this is a bit unrealistic. No matter it is Warner or DC, I would rather rot the copyright in my hands than sell it to others. It is possible to cooperate to shoot, maybe the IP derivative copyright can also get some , But to buy it, boss, you still don't think about it. "

"No, no, Rob, how can you know if you haven't tried it? Carl didn't buy the Crazy Max series the same time ago, so everything is possible ..."

"What? You bought" Mad Max "?" Robert Freeman was very surprised when he heard what the boss said. Looking at the dead fat man next to him, he felt a bit smart for the first time.

Carl's proud mouth turned upwards, pouting, raising his eyebrows and raising his hands, it was nothing, soeasy owing.

After Robert Freman frowned for a moment, he said to the patiently waiting boss: "Boss, Superman don't even think about it, they will not even let us participate in the investment. DC is not surprised. It needs to sell its superheroes. Copyright to make a profit, they have built their own superhero team very early, their superhero's copyright is difficult to get, whether it is Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Arrow, are the main protagonists of their comics, very Hard, really hard.

That King Kong is possible. After all, it has been shot many times, and the value is not great. It is hopeful to sign for some price. "

Andy is slightly disappointed. He also knows that he is a bit whimsical. After all, dc comics have been integrated by Warner Brothers very early. I do n’t know how many superhero movies have been made.

Rob saw the disappointed boss and gritted his teeth. "If not, I'll test it out. I heard that Warner has launched the Wonder Woman project, but it has been stranded again because of the script. There may be a glimmer of hope. It ’s really impossible to win some copyrights. After all, dc ’s drastic changes in the past few years have been very powerful. If it was n’t for Nolan, Batman would die like Superman. ”

"Oh, okay, I'll leave it to you. Hope you can bring me good news. I'll leave the matter here to you. I'll go to the new office to see ..."

Andy smiled with satisfaction. He was still a little unwilling. If he didn't try it, he wouldn't know how it would be impossible. After that, he patted his **** and went to see his new office in Peak Entertainment.

The fat Karl Fart also got up and wanted to follow him, but was fettered by Robert Freeman behind him.

"Carr, we need to talk ..."

Carr looked back at Robert Freman with a smile on his face, and he was uncomfortable with a chill. Even an idiot knew that the old man had something to do with himself.

"Don't look at me like that, we have been working together for so long, so, at night I treat you, let's have a drink ..."

"What do you want to say straight away, your smile is a bit stingy ..."

"Oh, don't say that, tell me how you got the copyright on Crazy Max ..."

With a funny expression on Karl Fat's face, he shook his head and said, "I wanted to make this idea and can talk about it.

Robert Freeman drew a few corners of his mouth, his eyes flickered with jing, and he stretched out his arms around the fat man's arms and laughed: "Oh, good to say, they are all family, how to say ..."

Carl rolled his eyes. The old boy scolded him just now, and he would beg himself, and he was a family again.

Andy naturally didn't know that Rob and Carl had calculated each other. It looked like Pierce's original office had been cleaned up. There was nothing special, and it was not a little bit worse than his office in Newsweek Building.

However, it is pretty good, very modern decoration, whether it is a desk or sofa, there are some movie posters framed by photo frames on the wall, there are "two big smoke guns", "vanilla sky" and "Smith and Smith" Wait, some companies make movie posters.

Andy sat on the comfortable boss chair with a relaxed smile on his face, and another piece of his career map was in his hands.
