Chatty Hollywood

"I do have a plan!"

Now that Lao Qiang had reacted, Charlotte admitted it simply.

When she first learned that New Line Company would default on its share of the profits, Charlotte was actually relieved. Although she had no choice but to give up the share of the share, now that it was proven that it was a trap, it made him feel less regretful. no?

After all, I say I don’t regret it, but it’s money! How could he not feel distressed at all?

However, soon after this gloating mood passed, Charlotte suddenly realized that there seemed to be an opportunity.

An opportunity that would give him access to a permanent team of professional directors!

Although the Hollywood film industry is developed and talents in all fields can be provided at any time like machine parts, each director has a different style. When forming a crew, they still prefer to use people they are familiar with and comfortable with.

As for the crew of "Fatal Turn", although there are no great people in it, they can't be considered poor in terms of their level of performance. At least they can get a share of the share that Charlotte gave away, which is still somewhat level.

These are the people Charlotte is targeting.

There are friends like Lao Qiang who he knows very well, but there are also first-time collaborators like photographer Addison Young. To bring these people together, we need not only friendship, but also interests.

Of course, Charlotte herself can't provide any ready-made benefits. After all, he has already given away his share of the CD.

However, many times, the benefits gained are not as united as the benefits lost.

Successful people are all proud and independent, while only losers will stick together for warmth. As for those whose interests have been taken away by the same enemy, they will share the same hatred.

New Line's plan to delay the profit sharing gave Charlotte an opportunity to win over everyone and share the same hatred.

"First of all, you crew members who have shares in your hands must all unite and advance and retreat together. You must not fight independently, otherwise it will be easy to be defeated individually."

Charlotte began to state her plan;

"Secondly, you need a leader. I am actually more suitable than one of you."

Lao Qiang nodded.

Indeed, although Charlotte had given up her share and distributed it to everyone, precisely because of this, his words were more fair and New Line could not refute it.

Moreover, after "The Turn" became a hit at the box office, Charlotte, as a rising star director, has great investment potential. In this way, his power of speaking is far greater than that of the veterans in the current crew who have average achievements despite their seniority.

"But even if you confront New Line on our behalf, if they just want money..."

Lao Qiang was still a little worried.

After all, the box office revenue of the producer is ultimately in the hands of New Line. As long as the money is not received, no matter how good you are, he can still delay it for three years or two. They have professional lawyers and accounting personnel to handle these matters, but everyone has to work and live...

"I have no intention of finding a new line for you to ask for money."

Charlotte's words made Lao Qiang stunned.

"The overall cultural atmosphere of New Line Company has a hint of Grandet. If they are determined to default on their arrears, there is nothing I can do in the short term. My plan is to force them to invest the share they should give you to me. ’s new movie. But then we build on that.”

--I see!

Lao Qiang understood now.

It seemed that even though he said he had no regrets, the friend in front of him, who was more than ten years younger than me, was still a little concerned about the share he gave up. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to help everyone solve the problem of delayed share sharing, and at the same time, attract some investment for his new movie.

Thus,

Although the shares were not credited to his account, they were ultimately used by him.

Lao Qiang was not disgusted with this plan. After all, friendship is friendship, and dollars are dollars. Although it is sometimes a bit hurtful to separate the two, mixing them together can cause not only hurt feelings but also money if you are not careful.

only--

"Although your plan is not low in feasibility, even if it succeeds, everyone still won't be able to see the cash immediately! What's more, what if the new movie makes a profit and New Line does it again?"

Lao Qiang did not say what to do if the new movie loses money. This was after the filming of "Fatal Turn". He was impressed by Charlotte's directing ability and truly believed that he could make money by making movies with him. Secondly, he had read the script of Charlotte's new movie in advance and was very interested in that. Great story with great confidence.

What Lao Qiang is concerned about is how to turn the money into cash after all the trouble. After all, Charlotte's move is essentially a plan for the film company to default on its share of the profits, but it's just technical and more ethical.

Of course Charlotte understands Lao Qiang's worries. Since he dared to propose this plan, he would naturally not have no follow-up plans.

"The key is to bring in another powerful production company so that we can monetize the money before the new film is released."

"You mean-"

——Hold your thighs! ?

Although the words were not spoken, Lao Qiang had completely understood what Charlotte meant.

This is indeed a feasible solution.

If the only investors in a movie are New Line and others like them, then New Line must be the dominant one. Whether it is the various decisions made during the filming of the movie or the sharing of money after making money, they have nothing to do with Transparent. The difference is, whether you can get the money depends entirely on New Line's conscience and mood.

Well, now Lao Gun is convinced that New Line basically has no conscience.

But if another production company with comparable strength to New Line is introduced, the situation will be completely different——

You must know that although on the surface the final distribution of profits is based on the investment situation, in fact, whoever controls the specific process of production and sharing can have a hand in it. The income from this table is not small at all.

With this bait hanging, there is almost no need to provoke. The two companies will definitely have to fight over who can lead the project.

Even within the rules of the industry, this struggle will not go over the line. But at that time, the investment ratio that Lao Qiang and the others had changed from the previous movie's share suddenly became a weight in the middle of the scale, and its importance was completely different.

"When they start fighting, we will sell the investment shares obtained from the share of the investment directly to the party with the higher bid. Maybe it will be more than the share of the share."

Charlotte made the final decision,

“Only cash this time!”

"That's right!"

Lao Qiang also felt sad this time.

He now truly feels that things like late-stage sharing are really a game of capital. For a wage earner like me, it would be more practical to get paid honestly. but--

"Charlotte, if this thing is really done, how much do we want to share with you?"

As an old Jianghu, Lao Qiang understands that it is impossible for Charlotte to do this in vain, especially in many places where he still needs to take the lead. According to the rules, he will definitely take a commission.

"I don't want a commission!"

The other party's words made Lao Qiang stunned again.

"Before shooting a new movie, I will set up my own studio. When the time comes, I hope you can join me."

Charlotte explained,

"And getting those shares is equivalent to the first batch of wages I pay you!"
