Hollywood legendary director

"Uncle Del, I seemed to have met your son, Lyman yesterday."

Christopher Lambert finally understood what the sense of familiarity the young man gave him yesterday. After he went home and looked through the photos, he found out that he was not Lyman Rast, the son of Uncle Del Rast.

He himself had attended Lyman's adult banquet, and he didn't expect that 7 years later, the two would meet under such circumstances. This is something Christopher Lambert had never thought of.

Time is so fast.You have to know that they were still neighbors before, and when they meet again, they don’t recognize them anymore, and they have to be identified through photos.Also, since Uncle Del divorced Lehman's mother and married another one, the connection between them was broken.A few years ago, I heard that Lehmann's mother had died, and Christopher Lambert did not attend the funeral.Feelings will give birth if they are not where they are. After such a long period of separation, they are already strangers.

"where?"

"Cannes."

"Yes, he lives there. So how did you meet him?"

"He wants me to invest in one of his movies."

There was no sound on the phone, and after a while, Uncle Del's voice came, "Is he serious?"

After Christopher Lambert met yesterday, he investigated the authenticity of the documents Lehman gave. He has a great say in this regard. "It seems he is serious, but he told me a lie."

"Lie?" There was a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Yes, he said that he had a film with Hollywood’s Miramax Films and signed a distribution contract. I asked a friend in the industry about that document. There is no problem with the authenticity of the contract, but the various terms in it are clear. It's a pit. I think your son should have been deceived. Moreover, he estimated that he had discovered such a situation, but he still came up with this contract to talk about investment. I think..."

There was no sound in the phone again. The meaning of Christopher Lambert's words couldn't be simpler. He wanted to say that Lyman wanted to use this contract to deceive him, but the word deceived, he did not say it after all.He didn't want to hurt Uncle Del too much, after all, they were also neighbors.

"How much does he want to make a movie?" Del Rast's voice sounded calm, as if he didn't take the meaning of Lambert's words to heart.

"Do you want to help your son? Uncle Del, I don't think this is appropriate."

A scammer fooled out of a film project, and he also invested money in it. Anyway, Christopher Lambert lost interest at all after learning more about it.

"I'm Lehmann's father." Del Rast's voice remained calm: "Even if his movie project is fake, he needs the money to be real, so how much money does he want?"

"300,000 euros, Uncle Del."

Christopher Lambert has persuaded him, but they still have their own ideas. As a neighbor, he has done his best.

"Does his movie project only need so much money?"

Christopher Lambert can also understand the doubts revealed in Del Rast's words. After all, Uncle Del had never learned about the production of a movie before.

But in the eyes of the general public, making movies is very expensive.

"I've seen the script. The storyline is not complicated, there are not many characters, and there are few scenes that need to be used. According to my prediction, of course, the premise is that the film project that Lehman said is true, 500,000 The euro is almost the same. He himself said that he has raised 200,000 euros."

There was another silent silence.

"Half million euros? I have this money here. You can invest it in him for me."

"Uncle Del, don't you tell him personally?"

A calm voice came again, "He still hates me, I won't go, please help me transfer it to him."

After a busy tone, the phone was hung up over there.

Christopher Lambert put down the phone with a little emotion. This is really strange for father and son.

A custody right hangs with his father, but he has never been to his father's new home. Instead, he stayed with his mother.

One who has a son under his name has not been the same for so many years. When it is critical, he still has to help.

With such a complicated relationship, who is not the one in the game can understand the feelings between them.Anyway, Christopher Lambert doesn't understand.However, since he agreed to Uncle Del, he will do it.

Family affection is really the strongest bond in the world.

Lehman knew nothing about his father, who had never met before and wanted to help him after hearing this. He was going to fool other fat sheep at this time.

It is obviously not safe to press Bao on a person.

Although the investor yesterday seemed very eager to invest, he couldn't give up the opportunity to find other people to raise money before the money was available.

He is serious about pulling investment.

"Excuse me, sir. I have a very promising film project here. Are you interested in learning about it?"

"Not interested in."

"I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

......

"This beautiful lady, take your time, do you want to learn about a very promising film project."

"I'm interested, right? This is the general script of the movie. You can read it first."

"What, are you not interested? I'm sorry, thank you for taking the time to listen to me."

......

"this......"

After busy working all morning, I didn't get any good answer. This time, Lehman went to the studio where he invested last time, but he didn't meet anyone who was foolish.

Many people are interested in listening to him talk about the prospects of film projects, but in the end they will always refuse because of various concerns.

One was that he directed a movie at his age, and felt unsafe. When it came to the end, it fell through;

Some of them have industry experience. They directly asked him if he had found a distributor. After he told Miramax and took out the issuance contract, he saw the loopholes and refused.Someone kindly reminded him that this is an irregular issuance contract and asked him to ask Miramax about the situation.There is nothing to say about the payment of license fees or buy-out fees for film copyrights. Such unreasonable places cannot escape the eyes of people with industry experience.

Of course, there are those who are polite and kind, and there are those who have a bad temper. Listening to him talk about issuing or coming up with a contract, he will straightforwardly say that he is a liar, let him go, and what is more, want to beat him.

Fortunately, Lyman was agile and didn't let the rude people succeed.

After a morning of intensive sales promotion, Lehman was also a little tired.

He left the studio, found a restaurant casually, and planned to sit down for a meal and rest.

"Boss, big macaroni."

After ordering the meal, Lyman took off a suit he was wearing outside and hung it on a chair.

Today's action is undoubtedly not smooth, and he needs to think about it.

In this world, there are still many smart people, and there are too few rich people who are foolish.

The problem with the script of the movie is not big, most people are willing to listen to him, and they have never said that there is something wrong with the plot design.

The doubts of those investors are nothing more than the issue of director candidates and issuance.

Lehman's age is too convincing enough. Investors have expressed deep doubts about whether he can control a crew. As for shooting, it is even less confident.

A good story is not important, it is important to shoot the finished product according to the meaning expressed in it.

As for the release, Lehman didn't have any good ideas to replace Miramax, the hypothetical giant.

The issuance contract he signed was the only thing he could use to defraud trust.

In this huge industry, the distribution company is always at the top of the food chain. Those investors would not naively think that as long as they can shoot a movie, they can find a suitable distributor for distribution.Causality is not calculated like this.

Most of the process of establishing a movie is to find a good distributor before shooting the movie.Otherwise, the risks involved are too great. Without the issuing company's first step, it will be difficult for people to have the confidence to invest huge amounts of money.

Therefore, Lyman needs a tiger skin to serve as his face, and Miramax is the most reliable of all the flickers.

Why are the directors who just debuted following the path of a producer or a film company? It is because this is an unsolvable choice.

The movies you shoot always have to be released, and the right to release is in the hands of senior film companies in the industry or producers who have dealt with theater chains. This is the reality of the film industry.

After the macaroni noodles came, Lehman ate it with big mouthfuls. Speaking of it, he hadn't eaten such a delicious food for several days, and he always ate bread, which was driving him crazy.

After lunch, Lehman stopped investing in Fudge. The prospective investor yesterday made an appointment to meet at the coffee shop in the old place the next afternoon.

He is now going to rush over in advance. As for the result, the choice is in the hands of others, and he can only accept all the facts that have happened.

After the taxi arrived at the destination, he told the waiter to wait for someone, and Lyman sat in the agreed position quietly waiting for the person's arrival yesterday.

Around three in the afternoon, investors arrived.

"Hello, Mr. Lambert."

After a friendly handshake and greetings, the two sat on their seats.

"I decided to invest in your project."

The first sentence of Christopher Lambert's words made Lyman ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, he really succeeded in fooling, and there are really silly investors who are willing to fund.

"Thank you Mr. Lambert for your trust in me. I will definitely make a good movie."

"Well, I have a few more conditions, you can listen to it..."
