Legendary Hollywood Producer

Entering the restaurant, under the guidance of the waiter, Horsman and Roman asked for a private room.

"Sir, this is the menu." Wearing white clothes and black straps to cover his forehead, the waiter's straight body was slightly bent, smiling, and he passed the menu with both hands.

"This CKL restaurant is very famous nearby and specializes in Italian dishes. Roman, please take a look first and want to eat something." Hosman handed the menu to Roman again.

Looking at the menu, while browsing, Roman said: "A cup of Blue Mountain, a spaghetti cheese prawn, a..."

"Okay, sir, are there any other arrangements?" The waiter held a notebook in his hand and wrote on it with a pen.

"Come on, I'll order."

"..."

After both of them placed the order, the waiter left first.

"Are you looking for me for anything? Mr. Hossman." Romain doesn't think Hossman is just asking for dinner, otherwise he doesn't need to leave Kevin Hossman behind.

Isn't it just eating for three people? There must be some purpose in the middle.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Hosman replied: "There is something to discuss with you."

As the topic changed, he asked again: "What do you think of the second season of The Punisher?"

It turned out to be this, Roman thought to himself, didn't I tactfully refuse this?

As early as when discussing the first season of "The Punisher" was officially broadcast on HBO TV, Roman had turned this topic off, but he didn't expect Horsman to give up.

Generally speaking, HBO doesn't have to worry about the same TV series, what it broadcasts in the second season. Because the copyright is usually in their hands, it's not just when you want to shoot.

But "The Punisher" is different. HBO only has the bonus of copyright development, and there is no actual copyright in hand.

This was also a prerequisite for cooperation that everyone had negotiated at the beginning. For this reason, Roman also paid out half of the offline profits.

In other words, Manhai Entertainment has the final say whether to shoot or when to shoot.

Moreover, before the content of the first season is all broadcast, Roman will not be negotiating with HBO to start the project.

To maximize the benefits, of course, let the first season of "The Punisher" fully tap the potential, and then talk about this matter. Only then can the price be better.

Only with achievements can there be capital to increase prices.

"Wait until next year, I don't have a shooting plan for the second season yet." Roman still did not respond directly to this question.

This kid is very slippery, and he has to switch the subject both times, Horsman thought in his heart calmly.

Taking a look at Roman, the expression on his face was calm, as if he really planned to come back next year to discuss the shooting of the second season.

"The broadcasting platform for the second season of "The Punisher" is still our HBO TV station. Maybe we should be able to discuss the production of the second season in advance." Hosman said with a smile.

When signing the first season broadcast agreement, the second season priority broadcast on HBO is also one of the conditions.

It is impossible for a TV station to take a TV show to the fire, and let its subsequent broadcast copyrights flow out.

They are businessmen, not philanthropists, so they will naturally ask for priority to broadcast the regulations, and Roman agreed.

But this is still not a reason for Roman to change his mind. It just gives priority to broadcast. It does not mean that he will not fight for better treatment conditions for himself.

Roman ignored this topic, keeping his mind and saying: "Wait until the first season is over, let's talk about the second season."

Horsman glanced at Roman. This man looked so young, but he didn't get in at all.

But there is no way, this matter is related to the company's interests and its own future, even if it can not be accurately discussed, this series of projects must be won.

Horsman knows that this drama is adapted from comics. The length of the content is enough to support the production of many seasons. This is not a small profit.

"Mr. Roman, have you ever thought of handing over the follow-up filming of this TV series to HBO?" Hossman kept smiling: "I mean Manhai Entertainment and HBO worked together to film the "Punisher" series drama."

Roman was silent, and he thought in his heart what benefits this would do for Manhai Entertainment.

Hosman obviously wants to abandon CAA and let HBO join the production instead of just releasing it as it is now.

And he himself doesn't want to pack and shoot for CAA, so it seems that everyone's ideas are the same.

"Can you talk about it in detail?"

"HBO has a wealth of experience in producing TV series, and we will not ask for extra compensation."

HBO is controlled by Warner Group, and there is no shortage of talents in film and television production.

With their strength, they can pull out a complete crew in minutes, and they must be qualified in terms of shooting.

The most important thing is that they don't "packing fees".

The last point is the most critical. Roman is unwilling to keep paying an extra profit to share it out.

He was moved by Horsman's words, and now he was also a little interested in this matter.

"What about the conditions? The conditions for HBO to join."

"We want all subsequent broadcast rights of the "The Punisher" TV series."

This is a long-term project, and HBO is willing to pay a price for it.

Roman's lips twitched, and things were going on the right side. HBO cared more about the ownership of the "Punisher" project than he did.

"I agree to this condition."

Hearing this, Horsman's face showed a sincere smile.

After verbally discussing the follow-up cooperation, the two are more in the mood to enjoy the food.

The waiter brought the dishes up one end, and Roman took a sip of coffee first.

The taste is not much different from that at home. After all, the variety of coffee beans has not changed, and the taste will naturally not change much.

He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Chef Huang, telling himself not to come back to eat.

Then, they chatted with Horsman and ate dinner.

The taste is very good. Roman hasn't eaten Italian-style food very much, but for this time, it is still a habit of eating.

The sauce used for pasta is made of clams. It has a unique taste. The chicken with parmesan cheese, which is similar to a sandwich, is also very good. The outer layer of breadcrumbs is soft and sweet when you eat it in your mouth. .....

With the meal of the two, this meal can be regarded as a delight for the guests and the host.

Horsman achieved his goal, Roman didn't suffer, on the contrary, he still had some money. The poor thing was that CAA was kicked out.

However, they don’t account for those who have big business.

The brokerage business is not the CAA family, and they will not complain about it.

After eating and paying the bill, Horsman drove him back to the parking lot, where the two said goodbye to each other.
