The project team invested by Goldman Sachs is actually relatively laissez-faire towards the adaptation of this film and television drama.

If it is successful, it will be an effective publicity when the website is raised in the future, and even when it goes public.

If it fails, then you can take advantage of the trend to get the dominance of the website and achieve the goal of completely controlling the enterprise.

Although, compared with the many companies currently on the Internet with a valuation of more than 100 million, this small website is inconspicuous.

But it is not only involved in the entertainment industry, but also has a stable profit point, which is what Goldman Sachs values very much.

But under the collective will, everyone's interests are different.

As for Lehmann, who managed to take control of the project, he sincerely hopes that the project will fail.

In this way, he has the opportunity to represent Goldman Sachs in the decision-making power of the website.

When the time comes, with Goldman Sachs' abundant funds and connections, the website will become bigger and stronger.

I can't become a senior partner at Goldman Sachs.

That means that he, Lyman, will become the top handful of people in the capital circle in the United States and even the world.

With a lot of wealth, and a lot of influence!

He was a little worried that the site would provide a story that was less expensive to produce and was well conceived.

After all, that Wang gradually once wrote that "knowledge is power", and there are countless bizarre works on the website.

But when he finished reading the faxed work, he put his heart in his stomach completely.

The next morning, in the conference room of the Goldman Sachs project team.

When Lyman distributed the work to the rest of the group, he kept an eye on the reactions of the crowd.

The group leader of the elderly white male, who watched it for less than 10 minutes, put down the work and took a big gulp of his cigar.

It feels like a straight man watching the male-oriented "Playboy".

Lyman smiled lightly and glanced around at the other members of the room.

Some people take off their eyes and rub their eyes vigorously, others drink coffee, and their faces turn green...

"Is this the site, the work offered?" said the only black male in the group, "Do they have all their brains for the donkey to kick?"

Lyman shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Maybe it's a limitation of production costs, or maybe it's influenced by those bad Hollywood movies?"

The project team leader coughed lightly and said helplessly: "It seems that our $700,000 should not be able to recover the cost." ”

He picked up "Prison Break", his hands trembling uncontrollably, "The key question now is how to get CBS to broadcast the film and television series adapted from this with the stake in our hands." ”

"To be honest, the work that is so rotten is really beyond my imagination!"

"The other shareholders of CBS may have collectively resisted. ”

"Changing to a morning or late night schedule shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Lyman said quickly: "After all, Goldman Sachs has voting rights on the board of directors of Cbs." ”

The project team leader rubbed his wrinkled face with both hands, "Then let's do it, contact the website, we agreed." ”

"Let's get ready to sign a VAM agreement. ”

He slowly stood up and walked slowly out of the conference room.

But suddenly, as if thinking of something, the project team leader said: "On the catalog of the finished film, the co-producer should not write my name." ”

Everyone: "...".

Soon, Wang gradually received a reply.

Goldman Sachs agreed to the works selected by the website and faxed a copy of the final version of the VAM agreement after negotiation.

Its approximate content is: both sides each contributed 700,000 yuan, a total of 1.4 million US dollars, for the production of the film and television drama "Prison Break".

Goldman Sachs will guarantee that this film and television drama can be listed on the Cbs TV network.

If the average ratings for Prison Break meet CBS's renewal criteria, the site wins.

Goldman Sachs will buy a 30% stake in the website for $6 million.

In addition, the tax-exempt status of the "Literary Creators" charitable fund is guaranteed to pass the IRS review.

If the ratings are not up to par, Goldman Sachs wins.

Goldman Sachs will acquire a 50 percent stake in the website for $7.5 million.

In addition, it will also have the lead in the continued financing of the website.

After Tom and Matthew reviewed the agreement, Wang gradually looked at the agreement and let out a long sigh.

Man is a sword, I am a fish.

The situation is like this, and it won't work if you don't sign it.

So, two days later.

Manhattan, New York, inside the famous Goldman Sachs office building.

Wang, accompanied by Tom, exchanged agreements with Goldman Sachs' project managers.

The funds agreed by both parties will also be transferred to a public account within a week for the production of film and television dramas.

After returning to his desk with the agreement, Wang gradually began to assign work.

"Tom, you oversee the use of the funds. Wang gradually said: "Our funds are not as good as Goldman Sachs, and we try to spend every penny on the cutting edge." ”

"As for the choice of directors and actors..."

He looked up and glanced at Tom and Dorsey.

But the two of them retreated at the same time, and said in unison: "We don't understand film and television drama production at all." ”

"Besides, it was you who decided to choose that work. ”

Wang gradually turned dark and nodded helplessly.

At this time, Lyman, who also had a black face, also walked out of the conference room.

He has just been honorably elected as a co-producer of Goldman Sachs' "Prison Break".

He will be responsible for docking with the website and coordinating the work.

After deducting the $100,000 licensing fee that will be paid to Sarah, the production funding for "Prison Break" has been reduced to $1.3 million.

In fact, at the level of "Prison Break", it makes perfect sense to give a licensing fee of $4 or 50,000.

But neither Wang Jian nor Lyman raised any objection to the $100,000 licensing fee.

What these two people think, probably only they know.

In this way, the crew of "Prison Break" began to look for directors and actors after the two rookie producers were in place.

Fortunately, the production mechanism of American dramas is perfect, and the director's and actors' guilds are also readily available.

This allows Wang Jian and Lyman to contact each other directly through the contact information in the union, instead of searching for each other all over the world.

Unlike Hollywood movies, the director is the leader of the crew.

In the production of American dramas, it is usually the screenwriter who plays the leading role.

The director's responsibility is more to maintain the smooth shooting and consistency with the style of the TV series.

This has directly led to the lowering of the threshold for American drama directors, and a large number of artists, photographers, and lighting engineers who are interested in entering Hollywood use American dramas as a springboard.

At this moment, Catherine Hardwick, who had just completed the task as an artist for the movie "Tank Girl", put down the phone in confusion.

I actually got an interview opportunity as a director.

It's just that the investors are actually Goldman Sachs and a website?

This crew, how can it feel so unreliable.

Moreover, most of the adaptations of novels into American dramas are well-known bestsellers.

But this "Prison Break", I have never heard of it at all.

She hesitated for a moment, but turned on her computer and began to search.
