Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 68 Seems like a cocktail party (seeking recommendation for collection)

In Los Angeles in May, the climate has begun to heat up.

An extended Lincoln commercial vehicle was driving on the road, and soon it was parked in a parking lot next to a hotel.

"Huh, finally here." Ryan adjusted his tie and opened the back seat door.

Lyman, Thomas, and George got out of the car one after another, and the next step was to participate in a celebration reception for Paramount Pictures.

Although the lights were already on and the night was over, it was already after seven o'clock in the evening.

However, the interior of the hotel is still decorated with magnificence.

This is the beginning of nightlife.

After showing the invitation, the group, led by the waiter, stepped into the main hall of the reception.

As soon as he walked in, someone greeted him.

"Hi, everyone..."

A middle-aged man in his thirties greeted them affectionately by shaking hands.

For this person, Lehman still had the impression that he was an assistant to Tony Slock, the head of distribution at Paramount Pictures.

After a few words of courtesy, the other party led the way and led Lehmann and his group to the second floor. It seemed that he was there waiting for them.

"Mr. Lyman Last..."

"Mr. George..."

"Ryan..."

Along the way, some and none of them were greeted by the group of them, but in Lehman’s view, apart from a few familiar, they seemed to be employees of Paramount Pictures related departments. Knowing why they are so kind.

It's just that Lyman also knows how to be polite. Although he thought that way, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Congratulations, Director Lehman..." When I arrived at the reception circle on the second floor, it seemed that the people in it were noble.

In addition to Tony Slok, Lyman is a bit familiar, and there are a large number of seemingly powerful guys here.

After all, things are gathered together, and people are divided into groups.

Being able to stand with the real power executives of a top publishing company, with a smile, will certainly not be too bad.

As soon as he met, Tony Slok was the first to greet him with enthusiasm. Lyman shook his hand extended and said politely: "Thank you, just call me Lyman."

Although he understands that the other party’s attitude is so good and kind, it is entirely because "Three Fools Raise Bollywood" has brought good value to Paramount Pictures, but Lyman still maintains a very polite etiquette, "Thank you very much. Paramount Pictures’ support for me."

"Come, let's have a drink first, in order to honor what I said to you that day." Tony Slok took two glasses of champagne from the waiter next to him, and handed one of them to Lehman.

"Bang!" In the crisp sound of clinking glasses, the two of them did it accordingly.

Then, under the introduction of Tony Slock, Lyman shook hands with several other senior officials who were present at Paramount.

These people all treated each other with smiles, and of course, Lehman did the same.

There was a wave of entertainment, and the waiters in black kept moving through the crowd, constantly delivering champagne to the guests in need, and waiting to completely deal with the people of Paramount Pictures , Lyman also quickly found an opportunity to slip away.

He walked to the balcony of the reception hall leaning to the outside, took this place to avoid, and breathed in secretly.

This is actually a very formal cocktail party.

Lyman knew that perhaps his successive successes made Paramount Pictures a little cautious.

And just frequent conversations with all kinds of very simple, can also prove this-Paramount Pictures wants Lyman to join their camp.

No one will let go of a valuable director. In Hollywood, it is even more common.

It's a pity that Lehman doesn't have any meaning in this regard.

He admits that the strength of Paramount Pictures is stronger than that of Europa Pictures, and because of this, if he takes over the olive branch of Paramount and joins it, it will not necessarily be better than Europa Pictures.

Strength and channels are strong, but the degree of emphasis may not necessarily match.

From this point of view, Europa Pictures has a little advantage.

That is, they will pay more attention to Lyman's director ability than Paramount Pictures, and even pay more directing conditions that benefit Lyman.

Of course, this may also be a nonsense by him, Europa Pictures has no plans at all. After all, all this is the result of Lehman's guess based on his own knowledge.

Then just try it. If Europa Pictures doesn't pay attention to him and refuses to pay more, it is not too late for him to change jobs.

To be honest, Lehmann is still quite willing to cooperate with Europa Pictures. After all, the French director Luc Besson, perhaps based on a director's own cognition, is willing to give creators a lot of freedom on the set.

For example, George was originally a supervisor who was sent over, but he was very talkative and has been very helpful to Lyman.

This is also a point that Lyman has deliberately thought about, otherwise he would not hesitate to refuse as early as the first time Tony Slock wooed.

He cares more about his right to speak in the filming than the strength of his partners.

"Congratulations, Director Lyman!"

It hasn't been long yet, and another person came over.

Lehman pulled out a smiling face and said politely: "Thank you."

The person on the other side introduced himself, "Please allow me to formally introduce myself, my name is Kevin Hoween, an agent."

As he said this, he took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Lyman.

Lehman took it and looked down at the business card in his hand. It was a card with a little light blue all over the body, and the delicate dark patterns on it could be touched by the fingertips. The cool and dark black font revealed a sense of charm. .

Lehman raised his head and glanced at each other with deep meaning.

Don't look at the simple introduction of this person, saying that he is a "broker" without any further explanation vocabulary.

But in fact, he is one of the five senior executives of an innovative artist agency-this artist agency service company with the acronym CAA is not only the top one in the industry, it has dominated Hollywood’s economic business for more than ten years and has been Unfailing, can be called the absolute overlord.

But why did he find himself?

"Mr. Kevin? Why?" Lyman raised his brows lightly, as if he didn't know the meaning of the other party.

This question made the opposite Kevin Horvín stunned, and then he burst into laughter, "I take the liberty to ask, Mr. Lyman does not have an agent yet."

Of course not. CAA has long since found out. They have always attached great importance to such an emerging director.

Besides, as long as you inquire more, you can't dig out anything.

Lehman even communicated with Paramount Pictures on his own. There is no agent.

"Yes, I didn't." Lehman said honestly.

"Can you think about CAA then? We are very sincere." Kevin Howen laughed.

"I will think about it."

Seeing Lehman let go, and it was really difficult to discuss further down at this reception. Kevin Hoween left with a vision. Of course, he did not forget to discuss a time and place with Lehman.

For this kind of thing, CAA has always been familiar with it, this is their business.

After Kevin Hoween left, Lehman's eyes were erratic, thinking about something.

At this time, another person on the field has been watching this side.

Seeing an opportunity, she immediately walked over, "Hello, Director Lyman."

The voice of greeting pulled Lyman's mind back.

He turned his head and saw a beautiful girl standing in front of him.

Lyman has seen her familiar face many times in "Dream of Paris".

Sure enough, she spoke again and said a very familiar name, "My name is Eva Green, and I am honored to know you."

Eva Green looked at each other, feeling a little nervous. She was able to enter this reception, but she still dragged her busy with her tutor at the New York University School of Art.

She has been thinking about how to enter the show business circle. Although she was born in a family of show business, she did not get any chance.

Now she is about to graduate, but she still doesn't have the qualifications that can be obtained, and what she gets is either a dragon or a small role with no lines.

By chance, she got to know Lehman, and she knew that he was also a Frenchman, and that he was also a director, the kind who had achieved success.

This made her see a glimmer of opportunity, so she came.

"Are you French?" Lehmann deliberately pretended not to know him in surprise.

Well, Eva Green just said hello in French.

"Yes, I was born in Paris, France, and I am currently studying at an art school in New York." Eva Green said with joy: "I have seen your movies and I like them very much."

"Thank you."

The two chatted all over the world, most of the time it was Eva Green who was talking about anecdotes about France, and Lehmann catered to and matched the topic.

He didn't know what the other party was doing in this way, but this did not prevent Lyman from pretending to be a member of the same country as her, and he was particularly kind to her.

As the reception gradually approached the end, Ryan looked at Lyman who was chatting happily in the distance, and said, "Okay, let's go first, don't worry about that guy."

George nodded and dragged Thomas along with him.

This Tie Hanhan just thought about informing Lyman that they are leaving. Isn't this ruining the customs?

So George decisively stopped Thomas from being stupid.

Lehman cooperated with Eva Green, and even the hotel dismissed, and accompanied her to the hotel parking lot.

The girl called a taxi and said to the driver: "West Hollywood, Fairmont Community."

"Go to my house for a cup of coffee." She said so, and Lehman agreed.
