Yes, the production cycle of animation films is long and the investment is large. It is impossible to make a return to the cost by using long-term screenings. In fact, few movies with investments of about 70 million will choose to be long-term screenings, unless they are masterpieces like "Titanic". In this case, it is inevitable to recover the investment as soon as possible. To do this, in addition to good enough quality and good enough publicity, the number of selected lines is also important.

After all, according to Hollywood's tradition of encouraging theaters to show more screenings, the production and distributor can get 90% of the box office in the first week, 3,000 theaters sold 60 million in the first week, and 4,000 theaters sold 70 million in the first week, so it goes without saying which one to choose.

Here, there are only seven major film companies that can raise three or four thousand theaters at one time, and those in the second stage. Even when Miramax was at its peak, they could only throw 2,500. After all, those theater groups and the parent companies of the seven studios have more or less connections. For example, when Lei Shidong acquired Paramount, although he gave up his shares in the theater group, the head of the group was still surnamed Lei Shidong.

Therefore, it is impossible for Cyclone Film to overcome this problem alone, and Vladimir's meaning is already very obvious.

"Which company?" Sean asked directly, and he already had an answer in his mind.

Sure enough, Vladimir's answer was no different from what he thought: "Global!"

"But global overseas distribution is the worst among several major studios," Sean smiled, trying to test it out, "and, once these big guys join in, we will be squeezed aside soon."

"So we need some strategies," Vladimir was prepared for it. "Although the overseas distribution of Universal is not very good, it is at least much better than us. This is the first point; among major production companies, Universal is undoubtedly the least lacking series that can be shown. If it is possible to discover new profit points, they will inevitably offer better conditions than others. This is the second point; we will not contact them now, this is the third point."

"Then when are you going to?" Sean raised his eyebrows.

"At least, after the shelf is set up and negotiate with Madridari, then contact the world," Vladimir shrugged. "We are not greedy, as long as we can get a share of the pie. With the cooperation foundation of "Transformers", they will seriously consider it."

"Okay, it seems you've made sufficient preparations, so let's do it." Sean made the final decision.

Anyway, we have reached an alliance with Marvel, and the schedule for "Iron Man" is already scheduled to be at the end of this year, and the movie version of "Twilight" has basically been completed. We are also waiting for the end of the year to be released. It doesn't matter if McLedanderre's investment here loses. What's more, even if Universal finally squeezes them out, it's still profitable.

Before he knew it, has the reincarnation developed to this point? On the way back, Sean couldn't help thinking that if this investment was really successful, then in the second-tier production company, reincarnation has reached its peak.

Although he had no impression of Maledanderi's name, his intuition told him that the investment should be worth it, not to mention that Vladimir's preparations were very complete. However, there was still a little bit unsightly. If he wanted to complete this investment, he had to dilute part of the equity in Sean's hands. Even if he couldn't get much, and could pass it on part, it still weakened him in the end.

This is also another willingness that Vladimir invited Sean to come for the interview, but it was not stated clearly, because even though Sean didn't understand this, he could infer it with such a few years of experience.

But he was not very worried because Vladimir didn't know that the negotiations on youtube had been basically completed. As Neil planned, several major groups shared 50% of the shares, and Sean and Neil were able to cash out $1 billion.

I have to thank Google again. Their 1.6 billion premium quotation made youtube a big advantage in the negotiations between several major groups. In addition, it was still developing during the negotiations, and it also took the lead in reaching a cooperation agreement with second-tier production companies such as Lionsgate to start online on-demand services. Naturally, the value rose step by step, and finally got such a result.

Of course, the 1 billion US dollars will not be paid out immediately. Although the major groups can still get the working capital, it cannot affect the plans and a series of operations. However, this is a huge income after all. Sean, who is already having a comfortable life, can live a more comfortable life. For example, you can also buy a large private jet, so you can invest part of it in Cyclone Film, which will increase your control and voice to a certain extent, which is naturally no problem.

While thinking about it, the ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang. When she picked it up and looked, Sean sighed immediately.

Even so, he answered the phone and asked in a relaxed tone: "Hey, Haydn, is there anything?"

More than ten minutes later, the driver took Sean to the villa in Malibu. After he left, a few minutes later, Sean drove out by himself. He first went west along the coastline, then north, and finally came outside a small bar in Ximi Valley. He stopped and before he could look around, the sound of knocking on the window sounded. When he turned around, he found that Haydn, who bent down and took off his sunglasses on his face, was blinking at him.

"Your eyes are very sharp." After letting her up, Sean jokingly said.

Haydn did not answer, but just giggled, stretched his hand around his neck, trying to kiss him.

"Wait, I don't even understand the situation here." Sean wanted to stop her. Although Saimi Valley is only 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles, it was the first time he came.

"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 to you?" No matter how annoyed, Sean could only pinch her nose in the end. Haydn just smiled, his eyes curled like crescent moons.

"I don't even look at the occasion." Sean couldn't help but pinch it a few more times.

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

At this time, Sean didn't dare to say anything like "you try" or something. This girl really dared to bend down to take out his food to eat at this time.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm watching. At most, in another month, you can kiss me openly on the street." Haydn patted Sean's shoulder and said in a "Don't worry" tone.

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

"The summer break is here, and I have no other job, so I'm running around and having fun. I've never been here and the public security is also very good, so let's take a look." Haydn shrugged, with a white shirt, jeans and small boots, as pure and lively as ever.

"How could I think of calling me?" Sean asked again.

"Shawn!" Haydn suddenly pouted and screamed.

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

Shaun really doesn't want to use this nickname of Haydn, little mushroom? It sounds so strange. Influenced by him, Camilla doesn't use this title. Haydn didn't care much at first, but over time, especially Shaun often "Milly" and "Milly" kept calling him, Haydn felt a little alienated, so he often pestered him and asked him to use this nickname.

In fact, it would be fine if it was changed to a nickname, but as soon as her stubborn temper came up, she didn't care about that. 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 tightly. Even if Haydn didn't care, she must have a competitive mentality, which was undoubtedly revealed in the bed.

So she is doing this now, actually thinking...Shawn pinched her chin and thoughts, while Haydn continued excitedly, "Because I miss you, I'm tired of playing here, I don't want to take someone else's car, nor do I want to notify my assistant, so I call you."

"It's because Milly is not here now?" Sean suddenly said this.

Haydn couldn't help but suffocate, turned his head over for a while, then turned around again with a embarrassed look, then stunned for a few seconds, then thrust his chest: "What does this have to do with Milly?"

Unfortunately, her previous expression had betrayed her inner world, and it was too late to remedy it, so Sean laughed out loud, and Haydn's face turned red because of this.

Because of the hot sale of "Transformers", Camilla had to follow the crew to promote it everywhere across the United States. It can be foreseeable that as the movie was released around the world, she would also go to all over the world to promote it, so she was not here at this time, so...

"It wasn't the time when Milly was away before," the girl muttered.

"That's right, but..." Sean dragged his voice, "But like now, I've been around for a long time, and I just don't have much time to have time, so just say anything."

Haydn coughed a few times and looked at him crampedly. He obviously wanted to speak, but he was embarrassed to speak for some reason. He was very cute.

"Okay, let me say it," Sean reached out and rubbed her head. "Milly has indeed gained great popularity with Transformers, but this is just the beginning for her. It takes a lot of effort to maintain this popularity. Once the series is over, her popularity may decline. You are different. Although the influence of "Super Heroes" is somewhat limited to small screens, it is better to last. Think about it, is it more impressive to release a movie a few years later, or is it more impressive to see it every day for a period of time? And the level of the first season is very high, and the second season is definitely more popular. You, as a cheerleader, will you be liked by more people, right?"
