Chapter 077: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Day
"I do have a plan!"
Now that the old gun reacted, Charlotte simply admitted it.
When she first learned that the new line company would default on the share, Charlotte was actually relieved in her heart - although it was a last resort to give up the share, but now it can be proved that it is a pit, how much can he feel less sorry in his heart?
After all, he said he didn't regret it, but it was money! How could he not feel distressed at all?
However, soon, after this unsure of whether it was schadenfreude or not, Charlotte suddenly realized that there seemed to be an opportunity here.
An opportunity that would allow him to get access to a permanent team of professional directors!
Although the Hollywood film industry is developed, and talents from all walks of life can be provided at any time like machine parts, each director's style is different, and when forming a crew, they still prefer to be more familiar with themselves and use their own handy subordinates.
And the crew of "Fatal Bend", although there are no big people in it, it is not good to say how bad the level is. At least I can get a piece of the pie in the money Charlotte gave out, which is still somewhat level.
That's what Charlotte is targeting.
There are friends like Lao Gun, who know the roots, but there are also first-time collaborators like photographer Addison Young, and to bring these people together, it takes not only friendship, but also interests.
Of course, Charlotte herself can't give any ready-made benefits. After all, his own share of the CD had already been given up.
However, in many cases, the gains are not as good as the losses that unite people.
The winners are all proudly independent, and only the losers will huddle together for warmth. As for those who have been robbed of their interests by the same enemy, they will be angry with the enemy.
The new line company's delay in the plan of sharing gave Charlotte a chance to win over everyone and share the same hatred.
"First of all, you crew members who have a share in your hands must all join forces and advance and retreat together, and you must not fight independently, otherwise it will be easy to be broken by each other. β
Charlotte began to state her plans,
"Secondly, you need a leader. I'm actually a better fit than one of you. β
The old gun nodded.
Indeed, although Charlotte has given up his share and distributed it to everyone, it is precisely because of this that his words are more fair, so that the new line cannot refute it.
Moreover, after the box office success of "Fatal Bend", Charlotte, as a rising star director, has great investment potential. In this way, his power to speak is far greater than that of these old fritters in the current crew, although they are old, but they are average in their achievements.
"But even if you confront the New Line on our behalf, in case they just want money......"
The old gun is still a little worried.
After all, the producer's box office income is in the hands of the new line after all, as long as people bite the money and don't get it, no matter how good you are, he can drag it out for three years and two years. They have professional lawyers and accountants to do these things, but everyone has to work and live......
"I'm not going to ask for money for a new line for you. β
Charlotte's words made the old gun stunned,
"The overall cultural atmosphere of the new line company is full of the smell of Grande, and if they make up their minds to default, there is nothing I can do in the short term. My plan is to force them to give you their share and put it into my new movie. However, we can then operate on that basis. β
- I see!
The old gun now understood.
It seems that although he said that he did not regret it, the friend in front of him, who was more than ten years younger than himself, still had some mind about the share he gave up. He should want to take the opportunity to help everyone solve the problem of being delayed, and by the way, attract some investment for his new movie.
In this way, although the shares did not go into his account, they were used by him after all.
The old gun was not disgusted by this plan. After all, friendship is friendship, and dollars are dollars. Although it sometimes hurts a little bit to count the two separately, they are mixed and entangled, and if you are not careful, it will not only hurt your feelings, but also hurt your money.
It's justβ
"Although your plan is not low, even if it succeeds, everyone still can't see the cash immediately! What's more, what if the new movie is profitable, and the new line will do it again?"
The old gun didn't say what to do if the new movie loses. This is after the filming of "Fatal Bend", he is impressed by Charlotte's directing ability, and he really believes that he can make money by making movies with him, and the second is that he has already read the script of Charlotte's new movie in advance and is very confident in that wonderful story.
What the old gun cares about is how to realize the money after tossing around. After all, Charlotte's trick is essentially a plan for the film company to default on its shares, but it is just technical and more disciplined.
Of course, Charlotte understands the old gun's worries, since he dares to propose this plan, he naturally will not have a follow-up plan.
"The key is to bring in another strong production company, so that we can monetize the money without waiting for the new film to be released. β
"You meanβ"
- Hug your thighs!?
Although he didn't say this, the old gun had already completely understood what Charlotte meant.
This is indeed a viable option.
If there are only new line companies and their miscellaneous fish among the investors of a movie, it must be that the new line is dominant, whether it is the various decisions made during the filming of the film, or the sharing after making money, they are no different from Xiao Transparent, whether they can get the money completely depends on the conscience and mood of the new line.
Well, now the old gun is convinced, and the new line company basically has no conscience.
But if another production company with the same strength as the new line is introduced, the situation will be very different-
You must know that although on the surface, when the final distribution of profits is based on the capital contribution, in fact, whoever controls the specific process of the film and the sharing can play a role in it. The benefits under this desktop are not a lot at all.
With this bait hanging, there is almost no need to provoke, and the two companies will definitely have to fight over who can lead the project first.
Even in line with the rules of the industry, this fight will not cross the line. But at that time, the investment ratio that Lao Gun had changed from the previous movie to the next one from being transparent to being a weight in the middle of the scale, and the importance was completely different.
"When they fight, we will divide the investment shares in exchange and sell them directly to the higher bidder. If you can't figure it out, you can still have more than that share. β
Charlotte has the final word,
"Just cash this time!"
"That's right!"
The old gun is also related this time.
He really thinks now that things like late sharing are really a game of capital. is a wage earner like himself, and he still gets paid honestly. Butβ
"Charlotte, if this thing really gets done, how much are we going to share with you?"
As an old Jianghu, Lao Gun understands that it is impossible for Charlotte to do this in vain, especially in many places, he still needs to take the lead. According to the rules, he definitely has to take a cut.
"I don't want a rake!"
The other party's words made the old gun stunned again.
"Before I make a new film, I set up my own studio. When the time comes, I hope you will join. β
Charlotte explained,
"And getting those shares is the first salary I pay you!"
