Legendary Hollywood Producer

The atmosphere in the office seemed very joyful. George raised his head and glanced at the president of Paramount, who was sitting in the main seat with a smile on his face, and then at the head of the production department, Ryan Jay, who was silent with his head down. Terry, the line of sight finally fell on Ms. Elaine in the finance department, she looked very calm.

This is Paramount's weekly high-level meeting, and the four of them are the real core management.

"The overseas screening of "Prada" will begin next week, George, is everything going well?" The President asked, keeping a smile on his face.

"Relax, everything is ready."

"Yeah." The president of Paramount nodded, and he was more at ease about the issue of George's management.

Then, his eyes were placed on Ryan in the production department, and his face suddenly became cold again.

This year was the most important year for him to take office, but the production department never produced any results, which made him very annoyed.

"Is the negotiation with Tom Cruise not finished yet? How long will I have to wait?" The production department compared the poor results of the distribution department, and it was difficult to make his tone polite.

Ryan, who had been silent for a long time, didn't dare to pretend to be deep at this time. He immediately replied: "There is still a little disagreement. You can settle it after a few interviews."

"It's been more than two months, and haven't reached an agreement yet? Can I still see the release of "Mission Impossible 3" this year?" Obviously, he was not satisfied with Ryan's answer at all.

Listening to the cynicism of his boss, Ryan secretly groaned in his heart: If you hadn't lowered Tom Cruise's share in this series at your request, it would have been so long, who would want to keep talking.

"I will speed up the negotiation process." Ryan said weakly. This fact is difficult to deal with, and he is really lacking in confidence.

"Huh." The president turned his eyes away from Ryan, and asked Elaine in the finance department: "How is the box office performance of "Prada"?"

"Yesterday was Saturday, and the box office rose significantly. The movie got 15.48 million US dollars in the box office and still occupied the top spot in sales." Then Elaine said about the share that Paramount Pictures can occupy: "According to the staff of our department Analysis shows that the North American box office of this film will not be less than 200 million U.S. dollars, which means that Paramount’s total investment of 10 million U.S. dollars can return at least more than 3 million U.S. dollars in profits, plus the surrounding copyright gains. The total profit will be more than 20 million. Of course, we and 20th Century Fox will do the overseas issuance work. This part of the income is still unclear, but it is expected that it will not be less than the domestic profit."

After listening to Ms. Elaine’s words, the president of Paramount was also thinking about the gains and losses: According to the initial discussion with Twentieth Century Fox, the two overseas issuance work should be operated together. In fact, 15% of the overseas distribution should be allocated. Give him the box office profit, plus other income, as long as the box office of the movie exceeds 130 million, then the income is almost the same as in China.

Wanting to understand this, he felt a lot more at ease.

After all, overseas movie box office income is rarely lower than that of the North American market, so this time the operation of "Prada", Paramount can definitely make a fortune.

"George, you must continue to have a good relationship with Roman, and Manhai Entertainment will definitely become our long-term partner of Paramount." President Yi said his thoughts very righteously.

In the past two years, the board of directors has been dissatisfied with Paramount's regression in the film market, and the abdication of the previous president was caused by this cause and effect. And the rise of Roman’s Manhai Entertainment, let him see the hope of saving this decline-all those successful movie projects show that Roman is a very good producer, so "Mission: Impossible 3", Pella He was invited to serve as a factor in this aspect.

George and Roman have dealt with him several times, and he is the person most familiar with Roman among Paramount, so the president also delegated this important task to him.

"understood."

Looking at George, who understood what he meant, the president continued: "Then the company will focus on the production of "Mission Impossible 3". This time, I hope there will be no more problems?"

As the director of the production department, Ryan also had to express his determination at this time, "There will be no mistakes in this project, please rest assured, Mr. President."

If even a series of films with huge market potential and one of the company's heritage can fail, the position of director of the production department will say goodbye to Ryan. He also knows the truth. The reason why Paramount’s annual reports for the past two years are so bad is related to the “inaction” of the production department. Mr. President has always had a lot of criticism in his heart. If it weren’t for Ryan really didn’t mess around, just But because of the small production, he had already stepped down.

"That's it then, the meeting ends."

......

As the central figure of the Paramount Conference, Roman is being bombarded by phone calls from major clothing brands.

What those people mean is nothing more than asking to participate in Manhai Entertainment's next film project that needs clothing sponsorship.

The reason for this is that the advertising effect of "Prada" is really good.

Just like "The Godfather" almost revitalized the business of cigars, let the concept of "every powerful smoke cigars" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The release of the movie "Prada" also directly affected the luxury clothing market in the early spring of 2005: all the clothing that had been shots in the film, the public inquiries were significantly increasing, and some clothing that was originally off the shelves for the season has also reappeared in the majors. Brand sales counters.

From the perspective of sales data, almost all of the same clothing in "Prada" was swept away in these three days, which made various manufacturers have to hurry up and make them again, while the shoes and bags shot in the film are relatively better. Some classic models are on sale all year round. When customers buy them, there are still some in stock, but not too much. After all, the movie has only been released for a few days. According to this trend, there will be more buyers in the future.

And all of these are real money that is directly fed back to the account, no wonder the major brands will call Manhai Entertainment one after another. Even those luxury goods that were not sponsored by "Prada" are also very excited. The results on the market can not be faked. Once they investigated, they all started to call.

As for the film’s largest sponsor, Prada, it directly stated that it can contribute to the promotion of the film in overseas countries, and is also willing to take the initiative to tackle the screening work in the very conservative region of the island country-the island country has always been the largest consumer of luxury goods. Prada also does not want to delay the normal release due to the publisher’s own reasons. That is definitely not good news for them.

There is also a rising luxury consumer country-the mainland. China Film’s Chairman Han also told Roman that he would introduce the movie "Prada". However, due to the reasons of the General Administration, the release time cannot be synchronized, so China Film also simply put the movie The release time of the movie was moved to May. The schedule at that time was considered appropriate, and it wasn't a bad deal for the movie.
