Yes, animation film production has a long cycle and large investment, and it is impossible to use long-term screening to return the cost. In fact, few films with an investment of about 70 million will choose long-term screening, unless It's a masterpiece like "Titanic". In this case, it is an inevitable choice to recover the investment as soon as possible, and in order to achieve this, in addition to good enough quality and good enough publicity, the number of screening lines is also very important.

After all, according to Hollywood's tradition of encouraging more screenings in theaters, the producer and distributor can get 90% of the box office in the first week, 3000 theaters sell 60 million box office in the first week, and 4000 theaters The line sold 70 million at the box office in the first week, so there is no need to say which one to choose.

Here, only the seven major film companies and the second-tier ones can pull up three or four thousand theaters at one time, even when Miramax is at its peak, it can only pull it down 2500. After all, those theater groups and the parent companies of the seven major studios have more or less those connections. For example, when Redstone acquired Paramount, although he gave up his shares in the theater group, the group's The leader is still surnamed Lei Shidong.

Therefore, it is impossible for Samsara Pictures to overcome this problem alone, and it is already obvious what Vladimir means.

"Which one?" Sean asked directly, he already had the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, the answer given by Vladimir was no different from what he thought: "Universal!"

"But Universal's overseas distribution is the worst among the major studios," Sean smiled and wanted to test it, "and, once these big guys join in, we will quickly It will be pushed aside."

"So we need some strategies," Vladimir had already prepared, "Although Universal's overseas distribution is not very good, at least it is much better than us, this is the first point ; Among the major production companies, Universal is undoubtedly the one that lacks the most successful series. If it is possible to discover new profit points, they will definitely offer better conditions than others. This is the second point; we will not Engage with them now, that's the third point."

"When are you going?" Sean raised his eyebrows.

"At least wait for the frame to be set up and negotiate with McLeodandre before contacting Universal," Vladimir shrugged, "We are not greedy, as long as we can increase the points around the world. A piece of the pie will do, and they will seriously consider it because of the cooperation basis of "Transformers"."

"Okay, it seems that you have made sufficient preparations, so let's do it." Sean made a final decision.

, it doesn't matter if McLeodendry loses his investment here. What's more, even if Universal finally squeezed them out, it would still be profitable.

Unconsciously, has reincarnation developed to this point? On the way back, Sean couldn't help but think, if this investment is really successful, then among the second-tier production companies, Samsara has reached its peak.

Although he was not impressed by the name of McLeodandre, his intuition told him that the investment should be worthwhile, not to mention that Vladimir was well prepared. However, there is still one thing that is not beautiful. If you want to complete this investment, you must dilute some of the equity in Sean's hands. Even if it is not much, and you can pass on some of it, it will still weaken him after all.

This is another willingness of Vladimir to invite Sean to come over for an interview, but he didn't say it clearly, because even if Sean doesn't know much about this, but with so many years of experience, he can inferred.

But he is not very worried, because Vladimir does not know that the negotiation on YouTube has basically been completed, as Neil originally planned, several major groups share 50% , and Sean and Neil were able to cash out $1 billion.

, and also took the lead in reaching a cooperation agreement with second-tier production companies such as Lionsgate to start online on-demand services, and the value naturally increased step by step, and finally got this result.

Of course, the 1 billion US dollars will not be paid immediately. Although the major groups can still get this amount of liquidity, it cannot affect the plan and a series of operations. However, this is a huge amount of income after all. Sean, who has been living a comfortable life, can also live a more comfortable life. For example, he can also buy a large private jet, so he invested some of it into Samsara Pictures, to a certain extent. It is naturally not a problem to increase your control and voice.

While thinking about it, the phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up and looked at it, Sean sighed.

Rao was so, he still answered the phone and asked in a relaxed tone: "Hey, Haydn, what's the matter?"

More than ten minutes later, the driver took Sean to his villa in Malibu. After he left, Sean drove out again after a few minutes. First along the coastline to the west, then to the north, and finally to a small bar in Simi Valley City, just stopped, before looking around, the sound of knocking on the window rang, and when I turned my head to look, I found that Haydn, who had bent down and removed the sunglasses from his face, was winking at him.

"Your eyes are very sharp." After putting her up, Sean said sarcastically.

Haydn didn't answer, just giggled and put his arms around his neck, wanting to kiss him.

"Wait, I don't even know what's going on here." Sean wanted to stop her, even though Simi Valley was only 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles, it was his first time here.

"Give me a kiss first, Sean, give me one first." Haydn said coquettishly.

In desperation, Sean had to give her a kiss, and the girl almost swallowed his tongue.

"What else can I say about you?" No matter how annoyed, Sean finally pinched her nose, Haydn just smiled, eyes curved like crescent moons.

"Don't look at the occasion." Sean couldn't help pinching a few more times.

"Okay." Haydn opened his hand angrily, and at the same time stretched out his own and squeezed it in the air, the threat was quite obvious.

At this time, Sean didn't dare to say anything like "you try", but this girl really dared to lean down and dig out his food at this time.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm watching, in a month at most, you can kiss me on the street." Haydn patted Sean on the shoulder, Said in a "don't worry" tone.

Sean rolled his eyes, and then asked strangely, "Why did you come here?"

"The summer break is coming, and I don't have any other work, so I run around and play. It happens that I haven't been here before, and the security is also very good, so I came to see." Haydn shrugged. Shrugging, white shirt, jeans and small boots, as always pure and lively.

"Then why would you think of calling me?" Sean asked again.

"Sean!" Haydn suddenly pouted.

"Okay," Sean sighed, "how did you even think of calling me, little mushroom?"

Sean really doesn't want to use Haydn's nickname, little mushroom? It sounds so strange, because of his influence, Camilla doesn't use this title either. Haydn didn't care much at first, but after a long time, especially Sean kept calling "Millie" and "Millie", Haydn would feel a little alienated, so he often pestered him, asking him to use this Nick name.

In fact, it's okay to change her nickname, but once her stubborn temper comes up, she doesn't care about that much. Sean guessed that this was somewhat related to her desire to compete with Camilla. Even though the two girls were as good as honey, Camilla kept eating Haydn to the death, even if Haydn didn't care, But there must be a competitive mentality to some extent, which has been revealed in bed.

So what she is doing now is actually thinking... Sean squeezed his chin and thought, and Haydn continued to say with great interest: "Because I miss you, I'm tired of playing here. I don't want to take someone else's car or notify the assistant, so I called you."

"Because Millie isn't here now?" Sean said suddenly.

?"

Unfortunately, her previous look had betrayed her inner world, and it was too late to remedy it, so Sean laughed and Haydn blushed.

Because of the popularity of "Transformers", Camilla must follow the crew to promote all over the United States, and it is foreseeable that with the film's worldwide release, she will also travel around the world Doing publicity, so not here at this time, so…

"It's not like Millie was absent before." The girl muttered.

"That's right, but..." Sean dragged his voice, "But like now, I haven't been around for a long time, and I just don't have much time when I'm free, so, what's the matter? Just say it."

Hayden coughed several times, looked at him crampedly, obviously wanted to speak, but was embarrassed to speak for some reason, very cute.

"Okay, let me tell you," Sean reached out and rubbed her head, "Millie did gain huge popularity from Transformers, but for her It's just the beginning. It will take a lot of hard work to maintain this popularity. Once the series ends, her popularity may decline. You are different. Although the influence of "Super Heroes" is somewhat limited to small On the screen, but the victory lasts. Think about it, is it more impressive to see a movie every few years, or is it more impressive to watch every day for a period of time? And the quality of the first season is very high, The second season will definitely be more popular, and you will be liked by more people as a cheerleader, won't you?"

"But it's still not as good as the movie." Haydn, who had a bulging cheek, pushed back in one sentence.
