Hollywood legendary director

The release of the movie does not mean that the promotion can be stopped.

No, in addition to Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures continuing to plant "Furious" screening information on various platforms or news magazines, Luc Besson also personally called Lehman and other creators to go to various cities in France to perform roadshows. , Pull the momentum.

So, early the next morning after receiving the call, Nicholas Cage, Heath Ledger and Eva Green were ready to leave.

After the group of people gathered and got on the plane, they didn't get so rushed.

"Do you know how much the box office was yesterday?"

Facing the curious gazes of Heath Ledger and Eva Green, Ryan smiled contentedly, and smiled very cheerfully, "15.63 million dollars."

Lyman, George, Thomas, and Nicholas Cage on the side were a bit speechless. They had known these news a long time ago, so Eva Green and Heath Ledger had no channels to understand.

In other words, Eva Green could follow, or Lehman thought that she was studying abroad alone, and asked her if she wanted to go back to France.

She agreed, it can be regarded as a ride on the wind.

"15.63 million dollars?"

Eva Green's eyes widened and looked a little surprised.

She is not a little white who knows nothing. She knows that this kind of performance is already very good for a commercial film, and it can even be said to be above the normal market feedback level.

After all, the production cost of "Furious" was only 50 million US dollars, and one-fifth of it was recovered in one day, which is amazing.

The key is yesterday is Saturday, today is Sunday, it is also a rest day, the box office results will certainly not dive severely, perhaps there may be an improvement.

Moreover, if you really follow this trend, "Furious" does not have to worry about whether it will lose money. What should be considered is to make more money.

"Hey...I'm going to bed first, what's the matter, you call me." After speaking, Lyman put on his blindfold and woke up peacefully.

Is there anything more comfortable than the good results of your own movies, no.

"Did he sleep late yesterday?" Eva Green asked softly.

"I don't know, I was a little sleepy, but when I was asleep, he was still waiting for a call from Paramount Pictures." Ryan also replied in a soft voice.

Now, Eva Green felt a little distressed about Lyman.

Her feelings for him are really complicated. At the beginning, she was somewhat biased against him. After all, he is a director and can be helpful to her career as an actress.

To put it simply, Eva Green approached with impure purpose, but Lehmann just accepted it all.

Perhaps that night, she was holding an attitude of bargaining and sacrifice, not really any sensory attraction to Lyman.

But when "Furious" was filming, she was filming together, and she saw Lyman's serious and responsible work attitude, and she was really keen on filming.

The direct evidence is that he turned a blind eye to his presence on the set.

Later, at the reception, he was a little drunk but chose her to accompany him. She was really happy at the time.

As for why, she didn't know, that kind of emotion rose from the bottom of her heart for no reason.

Since then, her attitude has changed a little. She no longer regards this relationship as a deal, but thinks that Lyman has a good impression of her.

Didn't Lehman also think of her in this propaganda for returning to China?

The longer I get along, the more Eva Green feels that Lyman is a very attractive man.

Of course, it would be better if he was willing to accept himself...

Dragging the suitcase, Lehmann and his party walked out of the airport, and then they boarded a special car sent by Europa Films.

Along the way, from time to time you can see the advertisements for the movie "Furious", with his name clearly printed on it, which is very conspicuous.

To put it aside, the focus of publicity in North America is around actors such as Nicolas Cage, but unlike in France, the focus of publicity is on his director.

Thanks to the media, the number of audiences who know him in France is increasing rapidly, which is why Luc Besson wants him to come to the road show.

He probably didn't even expect that he just subconsciously wanted to praise his domestic directors and make Lehman famous, but what he didn't expect was that the publicity effect was surprisingly good. Although, the real reason made him Some unhappy.

According to the survey feedback from the marketing staff, it is said that the French people generally have a good impression of a local director who can make achievements in Hollywood.

Isn't this TM in disguise that Hollywood has great influence?Even some achievements are worthy of praise.

Wasn't his original intention of establishing Europa Pictures to unite the resources of his country's film and television industry to resist Hollywood's invasion? No matter how he did it, Hollywood's momentum grew stronger.This is really confusing.

However, it doesn't matter if you want it or not. Facts have proved that their propaganda department has managed to get it off. The market box office feedback of "Furious" is not too good, directly overwhelming a lot of movies, and boarded the weekly box office list.

Yes, the big difference from North America is that "007: Die Another Day" was crushed by "Furious" in France, both in terms of word of mouth and market results.

Obviously, French audiences are willing to support outstanding local works, provided that the film is really worth seeing.

Is "Furious" interesting?Of course, so, it succeeded.

This fact makes Luc Besson more determined to win over Lehmann and continue to support emerging directors.

For French films to really make a difference internationally, it is not a matter of one or two people.

"Lyman, long time no see, you have become the proud representative of Cannes."

As soon as the group left the Paris airport, they were taken to the headquarters building of Europa Pictures.

As soon as they met, Luc Besson came to greet him in person. Looking at many of the familiar faces at the meeting, it was obvious that the high-level power of Europa Pictures had almost come.

"Long time no see, Mr. Luc Besson." Lyman shook hands politely.

"The pride of Cannes."

This is the most recent promotional headline of the Cannes media. Lehmann has also seen relevant reports on the car and knows the ridicule of Luc Besson.

In fact, this was something he didn't expect. Originally, the propaganda director had some selfishness in it, but he didn't expect Cannes to be a surprise again.

If you think about it, you can understand that although Cannes is the town with the strongest French film atmosphere, most of the time, it is supported by the golden sign of "Cannes International Film Festival". It's more about the identity as a location, not how many actors or well-known directors they have.

As for Lehman, he is a rising newcomer force and the focus of the country at this stage. The 27-year-old is full of expectations for him. The most important factor is that he was born and raised in Cannes. Up.

The issue of identity is especially important, and it's not to blame for the Cannes media for the hype.

Every year, except for the few weeks when the film festival is held, they are a bit more powerful, and at the rest of the year, they are basically calm and disturbing.

And news magazines or something, how can it work if there is no hot spot?There is no need to hype up, and now it's finally hard to have a direct action that can participate in, and I can't wait to praise him to the sky.

Some newspapers even chanted the slogan of "the first man to enter Hollywood", and the honoree was Lehman.

However, these are a little frightening for Lehmann, who is now intensifying the fire, and he is even more famous in Cannes, but he feels a heavy pressure inexplicably.

This is to...to kill.

"Thank you." Lehman said depressedly.

Luc Besson was stunned. It was a little strange that Lyman didn't seem very interested.

But I didn't think too much, I thought it was physical and mental exhaustion from the long journey.

The group chatted and after determining some of the itineraries for running publicity, Luc Besson also asked Lehmann and others to go back to the hotel to rest.

However, Lehmann refused, saying that he would go to Paris for a run of publicity first and rest at night.

They all said so, and Europa Pictures has no reason to oppose it.

As a result, Lehmann and others went to the nearest cinema first under the leadership of a staff member of Europa Pictures.

Lehmann finally realized how much the French audience liked him.

When they showed up in the theater after the movie was shown, a large number of people actually paid attention to him instead of starring in films such as Nicholas Cage or Heath Ledger.

When are directors more popular than actors?

Lehman didn't know that he had never enjoyed such a treatment in North America.

Their eager eyes contained encouragement, but Lehman was even more frightened.

Nicholas Cage also teased him about this, saying that he is a behind-the-scenes person, more beautiful than theirs.

Lehman smiled without speaking.

After running through several theaters, the army did not disperse until 9 pm.

Each returned to the hotel room to rest, but waiting for them tomorrow is still a similar situation on-site publicity activities.

After all, film creators appearing in theaters are really a great attraction for some fans, and Europa Pictures has long passed relevant news to the media.

As soon as they cooperated, the momentum became louder and louder.

On the other side, when Lehmann returned to the room, he felt exhausted physically and mentally. Lying on the bed, he didn't want to move at all, but these were not enough to stop the next road show's determination.

Now that it has been agreed, then do it and do it well.

In any case, he is also part of this, and it is the brainchild of his few months. No one hopes that the film can achieve better market results than him.

If the method works, just run.

On the second day, the group immediately set off again. After rushing a few scenes, they began to promote to other cities...
