Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 180: Producer

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Provence International Airport.

It only takes about two hours to fly directly from Paris to here.

When Lyman left the airport, the sun was shining outside.

I've been here for more than a month, do you feel like it is fulfilling and a little tired.

It's still a bit strange.

He really didn't expect that after a lap, it would happen by fate, and "Saw Fright" would give him a chance to intervene.

After this movie is released, Paramount Pictures and Europa Pictures will have another big surprise.

This is a project that can be serialized. Take five, six, or seven, or something. The profit margin should not be too large, and offline operations are more likely to form a virtuous circle.

This is why the series of movies can become a hot trend in Hollywood.

For them, the mature and stable development trend is far better than the acceptance of the market.

Lehman can only sigh about this: time is also fate.

"Sir, I am the head of Europa Pictures' Cannes office. My name is Sweet Wyhrman."

The staff member Luc Besson had greeted in advance drove to pick him up as usual.

Seeing Lehman exiting the airport passage, he immediately leaned in.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After politely speaking, he got into a black Lincoln, turned two turns, and drove in the direction of home.

Today is June 24th, and in a few days, it will be July again.

Think about it for a moment, I feel like I've been busy talking about it for two years, and I really haven't done anything famous.

But considering the actual situation, it seems pretty good.

I made several movies, the box office was pretty good, I made money, and I bought a big house, immediately renovated a few times, and I could live in.

Toss around and toss out things too, which is great.

After all, he has no plans for any development of his career.What else is required to be able to make a movie freely?

No matter where you go, anyway, I was owed by God in my previous life, so I will be compensated in this life.

Not bad, but more importantly...

"Lyman."

Just a few steps away from the door of my house when I got off the car, I heard someone shouting nearby.

He looked up and saw Eva Green standing in a fork in the road next to the house.Was waving vigorously.

He has her.

"Aren't you hot?"

Lyman pulled the box over and couldn't help but blame it.

This silly girl was wearing a beige dress with a jacket outside, and even if she was hiding in the shade, her forehead was full of sweat.

"It's a hot day, you don't pay attention either."

"Did I just come back from the flight? I have forgotten the situation here." She stuck her tongue out and said: "Why did you come back suddenly? Didn't you call the day before yesterday and said that you didn't figure it out?"

"It was decided temporarily, but I will go there again in a few days."

"Ah? Tossing back and forth, aren't you tired?" Eva Green said a little lonely.

After learning that he was coming back, she did not even continue to run the promotion, just to stay together for a while, but she did not expect to be so busy.

"Why don't you accompany me? It just so happens that I am also very tired by running around alone, you can come, and you can share it. I'm afraid you will feel the hard work too." Lehman said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

He is really busy during this time.

The new project may be able to delay, after all, there is nothing about the actors and filming arrangements, but "Saw Fright" can't wait.

It is estimated that Wen Ziren has the opportunity to direct independently. That is a very energetic one.

Knowing that Lyman would go to Europa Films to discuss with Luc Besson, he immediately finished a new script, added the suspenseful reversal ending at the end, and slightly improved the relationship between the characters Dialogue of the lines.

And when Lehmann indicated that he needed a specific shooting plan, apart from anything else, patting his chest on the phone indicated that he would not be allowed to wait too long.

It can be done in three days at most, which is what he said.

Once you put down the phone, you can separate the clones, and one person can be used as two people.

After throwing away other trivial matters at hand, I hurriedly started to devote myself to this work.

He said that three days is three days, he is serious.

Even with the review and preliminary preparations, within two weeks, following this momentum, it will definitely enter the filming session.

And "Chain Saw" is a plasma thriller movie, so, for it, the most suitable schedule this year is about Halloween.

Lehman actually had the same idea. It is also good to get the crew of "Chain Saw" on the right track. After all, the time is very tight now.

The time for shooting, post-production, and publicity is more than four months in general, and it cannot be delayed.

What's more, Lehman is not only responsible for the investment, he is also the producer of this project.

Originally, I wanted to find someone else, such as George or other professionals from Europa Films.

However, Wen Ziren does know how to be flexible and strive for opportunities.

I hinted at this as early as on the phone.

In fact, Lehman could also guess the purpose of his doing this.

It's nothing more than using his banner to shoot for the set and post-production, he, the director, has more participation rights and an added guarantee.

As for why he is flexible, Wen Ziren certainly knows the role of the producer to a crew, and Lehman certainly does not have time to worry about this, so he is under the name, in fact, he will find a special person to take charge of this. , But it’s not called a producer in name, but a production manager.

This difference between the two characters is reflected in the power and confidence in the crew, but it is completely different.

How can someone have an idea? Lehman thought about it, and agreed.

He can really give support in this regard, and he doesn't think Wen Ziren is too much or asking too much.

The rights and interests are all for themselves, so why not be better.

Besides, he didn't suffer a lot. By helping to set up the crew, he could get a larger return in return. Moreover, he really felt that he could have more actions.

For example, the studio has so many idle funds, but it has not used any investment. It depends on Lehman to produce it alone, and it can't grow quickly.

So he also had the idea of ​​cultivating Wen Ziren.

This person, once there are more resources that can be mobilized in society, naturally, some plans for utilization will be born.

Some people attribute this kind of planning to a conceptual statement called ambition, but Lehman wants to talk about confidence.

That kind of try, even if it fails, there is no big deal of confidence.

"Of course." Eva Green smiled and asked: "Then how many days can you stay here?"

"Two or three days. When the project plan is completed, it will be handed over to Europa Pictures for review. After a process, we will go directly to Los Angeles, where the shooting will be completed."
