Legendary Hollywood Producer

Manhai Entertainment will not shoot too many film projects this year. Because of the investment, Roman does not have much energy to develop new film projects.

This can be regarded as a drawback. Roman has always taken care of the film production affairs in the company. Without him, Manhai Entertainment has stagnated as if it lacked a source of power in this regard.

It is estimated that this will be the case in the next few months. The restart of "Batman" and the development of "Mission Impossible 3" are currently the most important.

In addition, the Western European Film Industry has to open up the offline market again, and all kinds of things have accumulated, and Roman must temporarily put down this part of the work.

And, just yesterday, Paramount Pictures finally made new progress.

The tug-of-war of negotiations that lasted for more than two months is over-Tom Cruise joined the film production of "Mission Impossible 3".

The capital carried by Manhai Entertainment can also begin to enter the market.

......

This morning, Roman took the lead in driving to the Hilton Hotel.

Fang Liaosha, the representative of the Russian capital, still lives there. He has money on his hands and can just invest in the "Mission Impossible 3" project.

The capital chain of Manhai Entertainment needs to remain stable, and this financing is used to cooperate with Paramount, which could not be better.

After the meeting, Roman also told Liao Sha the film information in great detail.

"I agree." Liao Sha's first sentence gave Roman good news.

"But I have another question?" His second sentence cast another layer of uncertainty over the matter.

Roman frowned slightly, a little worried, but still said: "You can talk about it, Liao Sha."

"Will you participate in the production of this movie?" Liao Sha asked calmly, "Is this a movie project of Manhai Entertainment?"

"The "Mission: Impossible" series has been filmed for two, and all have won the box office. I will also be the producer of this project. Although it is not a movie project under Manhai Entertainment, it can be regarded as a partner. Yes. Co-production, which is very common in Hollywood, is a way of sharing risks."

Liao Sha is not all aware of Hollywood, since he agreed to come here, he has been learning about this somewhat mysterious circle through various means.

He also knows that the project method of co-production is not unusual at all, but he still emphasized: "You have to be a participant in this film."

Hearing this, Roman relaxed, and no major changes occurred in the investment matters.

Liao Sha said again: "This is the prerequisite for our cooperation, Mr. Roman, if you weren't acting as a producer, I would not invest."

In his eyes, what projects have good prospects, the "Mission Impossible" series has not failed, and Tom Cruise's superstar blessings are far less than the prerequisite for whether Roman is involved in the production or not.

His family is rich, and his investment of tens of millions of dollars, even if it all fails, is not a painful one.

Now that he is in Hollywood, he is ready to pay the tuition.

But everything must be carried out according to the premise of the contract-that is the project that Manhai Entertainment participated in, or Roman, as the president, participated in the production.

Otherwise, the father's side would not make sense.

Since agreeing to raise funds that day, he has studied Roman's previous career history.

This young producer from a small production company is very visionary in project filming.

Not only did not one of the films produced by the company fail, but all of them had excellent box office results. The return from each one far exceeds the investment share.

Liao Sha has studied film majors, and after graduation he helped his father buy theaters, speaking of which he is a half-professional. Although it is the experience accumulated in the Russian film and television industry, not in Hollywood, it can be considered a snack.

"I promise that Manhai Entertainment will participate in the production." Roman vowed: "Even Liao Sha, you can also go to the crew of "Mission Impossible 3" on the spot, and I will say hello to Paramount."

Treating Russia is completely different from treating Smecta, and Roman doesn't want to be too hostile to that side.

The bodyguards of the wealthy man who raised the fund back then carried guns with them, not to mention that they already had a military background. Of course, it's better not to mess with them.

Will building a good relationship also help stabilize financing? Roman still cares more about the funding channels on the Russian side.

"Good." Liao Sha smiled and said, "That's how it is decided."

He also really wants to go to the established film company Paramount to inspect the relevant industry situation. The conditions that Roman said are very much to his appetite.

Of course, relying solely on verbal promises without any legal constraints, neither side can truly be assured.

Next, Manhai Entertainment's legal department drafted an investment contract.

Liao Sha and the lawyer he invited signed the terms of cooperation after checking that there were no problems.

The core content of this contract is roughly that Liao Sha’s personal foundation will buy Manhai Entertainment’s investment share in "Mission Impossible 3" with a capital of about 15 million U.S. dollars, and he has entrusted Manhai Entertainment to be responsible for related production. Matters.

In addition, the contract expressly stipulates that the producer of this project must be Roman, and the income after the movie is released will be transferred from Manhai Entertainment to the transfer, with a time limit of 3 years.

To be precise, because Liao Sha has no experience and no contacts in Hollywood, Roman and his company Manhai Entertainment will provide a one-stop package service for this investment.

Therefore, this service has to be charged. The 5% commission plus the investment income of the three-year delivery of "Mission Impossible 3" is the benefit that Manhai Entertainment can get.

Liao Sha did not complain either. He originally came with a learning attitude. He has neither distribution channels nor investment channels. It is entirely reasonable to rely on Roman Manhai Entertainment to take care of this part of the relationship. In his opinion, the payment is very reasonable Thing. Besides, the 5% rake is really not high.

The contract agreement involves hundreds of detailed regulations, which protect the income between the two partners in all aspects. Investing in this kind of thing is never easy.

After reaching the cooperation, Roman also began to contact Paramount Pictures, hoping to finalize the specific matters there.

The top executives of Paramount Pictures had the intention to win over Manhai Entertainment. They had agreed to cooperate before and did not intend to go back.

The two parties also quickly started negotiations, and the content was not about investment shares. This matter had been greeted long ago, and Roman agreed.

The main point of disagreement lies in Roman's worth. Of course, he must be paid as a film producer.

I used to shoot my own company’s movies, so I don’t have to think about these things. Now I’m cooperating with Paramount, the benefits must be settled.
