Hollywood legendary director

The big box office success is just like the inspiring style of winning battles in ancient times. It always needs some form.The so-called celebration banquet is probably this.

In particular, the box office data of "Bad Guy" is really good, and it has basically locked in the top ten box office charts in North America this year.Currently second, behind "Finding Nemo".

This is what makes Paramount Pictures terrible. They have not had a work in the top three of the annual box office list for several years.

Even the investment in several movies at the beginning of this year did not achieve the desired expected return. Although there was no loss, this person is afraid of comparison, right?

The performance of several other competitors has dragged down Paramount by a large margin. Will the annual report be released?

If it doesn't look good, capitalists who want to collect money from stockholders for listed companies like Paramount are not the favor of leeks.

The leeks don’t invest anymore, and they don’t grow anymore. How can they be harvested?

So, this is why Shirley Lansing was questioned and asked to step down.

On the surface, it seems that the top six in Hollywood dominate the market, but in fact, it is not as good as each year.

Everyone is anxious, and sighs in my heart.

At this time, the movie "Bad Guy" slapped all the works released in the same time period. By the way, it continued this hot momentum and developed all the way to overseas markets.

This is making face.Not only that, the stock price has also risen, which is even more important for a listed entertainment company.

Are you happy? Of course, you must also invite people from all walks of life to join the celebration banquet.

So in fact this is not an internal carnival, it's more like some kind of...show off?

......

At seven o'clock in the evening, the night life begins.

The Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills is still brightly lit.

Lehman led Eva Green and Thomas to the cocktail party.As for Ryan, he didn't come. He went to Wen Ziren's "Chain Saw" set.

After all, Mann's studio also has his part, so it should be busy for his own business.

The wealthy Paramount directly rounded the lobby on the first floor, and there were many guests coming and going.

In the exquisitely decorated banquet hall, Lehmann was dressed in formal attire, carrying champagne, and constantly greeted and clinked glasses with various people.

Agent Johnson also stood beside him, reminding him of the intensity of communication based on the identity of the visitor.

If you need to pay attention, just shake hands and greet you, if you don't pay much attention, just nod your head.

In the adult world, even politeness is full of reality and distinction.

And since he walked into this huge banquet hall, there have been no people around him, like prey being stared at by hungry wolves.

They looked around, thinking about how to make their mouths.

This is also the reason why Lyman is reluctant to attend the banquet, but Paramount's kindness is really not easy to refuse.

In fact, it's helpless to think about it.Even if you succeed, you have troubles after success.

First-tier companies such as Warner Bros., Sony Columbia Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox, as well as second-tier companies such as Searchlight, New Line, Lionsgate, etc., their senior executives or representatives came over to express their congratulations, and at the same time, they were also exploring whether they could cooperate in the future. may.

Pursuit of profit, human nature.

This is also the aura of directorship brought by Lehman's successive successes.

Perhaps this circle is the world's favorite place to chase winners.

All in all, it is too utilitarian.

"Should we go over and say hello?"

Standing not far away, looking at Lyman who was busy socializing, Adam Sunderland said to his boss Ron Meyer.

"Of course, he deserves our attention." Ron said as expected.

Although, in the previous days, they frantically discredited "Bad Guy" and spread rumors about Tom Cruise.

But at that time, they were competitors, what happened with some means.

Now it's different. With no conflict of interest, Lehman continues to prove his ability to direct, which is also a target for Universal Pictures.

I believe that most of the people present are also aiming at this point.

As for the shamelessness and cheekiness of his boss, Adam was no stranger to him, seeing that the crowd around Lyman was much less.

Following Ron, he strode over.

"This is Ron Meyer, the senior executive of Universal Pictures' Distribution Department, and the one next to him should be his assistant."

Broker Johnson continued to introduce conscientiously.

"Hi, Director Lyman, congratulations on the box office sales of "Bad Guy"."

"Thank you."

The two sides exchanged an intimate handshake, like knowing many and close friends.

The three clinked their glasses and drank them all.

Ron Meyer smiled and waited for another person who walked over to say hello to leave, then continued: "Our company has several projects. I don't know if I will be lucky enough to work with you."

As a businessman, these people speak very directly, "Or, do you have any ideas that need to be turned into reality? If there is a lack of investment, we can provide them at any time. How about? Can you think about it."

"I also hope to cooperate with your company, but I don't have any shooting plans in the near future." Lehman waved his hand and continued: "We can talk in detail when we have the opportunity."

"Johnson."

Lehman reminded him that the agent gave a business card to the other's assistant very intimately.

Anyway, tonight, he unified everything that he said about cooperation.

The other party is also very acquainted, and after exchanging business cards, it is also a polite farewell, "Goodbye, I look forward to our cooperation."

No one would really take this kind of polite communication.

But it is always good to leave a foundation for cooperation, whether it is for Lehman or the senior film company executives who come to talk.

"Congratulations."

The next toast was Tom Cruise.

"Is it resolved?" Lyman took another glass of champagne from the waiter, clinked the glasses, and drank again.

"After hiding for so many days, it finally calmed down." Tom Cruise smiled self-deprecatingly.

The black material this time was a big blow to him.

"More... pay more attention." Lehman really didn't know how to be relieved.

After all, there are some things that catch the wind and catch the shadows, but they also have the source.

It is too easy to want to engage him.

Of course, if you want to get it down, it depends on your ability.CAA is not a good thing, including his own contacts in the circle for so many years.

"Oh, by the way, will you be free tomorrow? I want to invite you for a meal."

"Don't be so polite, so formal?"

"You'll know when you go." Tom Cruise sold it off.

He was not just a simple invitation, but came with a mission.
