Hollywood legendary director

Looking at Lyman on the opposite side, Barry Meyer squeezed his fingers, as if thinking about the idea of ​​the next chat.

Although Warner Bros. is one of the top six in Hollywood, it does not seem to be a bonus for directors who want no desires.

Looking at the works and attitude he has directed in the past, you can also tell that this person has quite a point.

But thinking about it this way, being able to invite him to join will also be a guarantee.

As mentioned before, a competent director is also a resource in the circle that cannot be ignored.

Warner Bros. naturally has no shortage of directors, but there is no shortage of achievements.

So how to win, really requires further deliberation.Because of Lyman, he has proven to be a good pawn.

Yes, chess pieces.

For major film companies, especially high-level figures like Barry Meyer, a powerful director is a chess piece on the board.

A pawn capable of conquering cities and territories and surprisingly winning.

But it is undeniable that this chess piece has an ownership, Paramount and Europa Pictures must be impossible to let go, and there must be many film companies that have a strong interest in this chess piece.

The pre-dinner appetizer was delivered with a bottle of red wine that had been awake for a while.

Barry Meyer clinked glasses and complimented: "Director Lyman, I've seen "Bad Guy" too. The shot is great."

"Thank you, it's just the audience's support plus a little luck."

Barry Meyer laughed heartily, took a sip of red wine, looked at Lyman, and then said: "You are too humble. If I had such an achievement at the age of 27, I saw an old man like me. Guy, it will definitely be dismissive."

"Ha, don't say that."

"Okay, let's talk about something interesting. I still remember when you were planning to shoot "Furious" last year, the first candidate was Brad Pitt, but for some reason he gave up and found Nicholas Kay. Odd, but I have one doubt. Why did "Bad Guy" find Tom Cruise again? The two of them have similar paths."

Barry Meyer has actually dealt with a lot of first-line movie stars. After all, Warner produces a lot of movies every year, and the range of choices for those roles is so large.

And after "Bad Guy" won a big victory, a lot of lace news became the talk of movie fans.But just as some Lyman fans disagreed with Tom Cruise at the beginning, they felt that such a vase actor would be a flaw.Including Barry Meyer thinks so, and in the past Lyman was picky when choosing actors, such as Brad Pitt.This is not a secret in the circle, so he is actually quite curious, not that he has any prejudice against these two people.

Anyway, for all actors who can benefit Warner, Barry Meyer doesn't care how good the acting is.

The other party was still polite, and Lehman didn't feel anxious, and said along the topic: "Pitt is because of salary. We didn't talk about it. As for choosing Tom Cruise, I think he is good."

Having an attitude, being dedicated enough, and not playing big names, such an actor is better than those who have no acting skills and poor professionalism.

Besides, after a good training, Brother Atang is not without acting skills. It's just that he has been an idol for a long time, and his burden is too heavy.

So it seems that the acting is unnatural, and the box office appeal is really high. It can break 100 million in four days, and the fans' support for him cannot be ignored.

Barry Meyer was a little surprised when he heard this.He thought he chose Tom Cruise because of Lehman's market compromise with Paramount or Europa Pictures. He didn't expect that his senses were not bad.

Very good, Barry Meyer has a better impression of Lyman.

In fact, he paid attention to "Bad Guy" when it premiered in Cannes. Later, when the film was released in the United States, it once again proved Lyman's ability.

From then on, he wanted to talk to Lehman personally about cooperation.

As for the final overall market results, it was just icing on the cake and strengthened his ideas.

"Tom Cruise created a successful screen image this time, and it's all your credit."

For the good things Barry said, Lehman was happy on the surface and couldn't hide a smile on his face, but he didn't move in his heart, because he knew one thing very well. A company executive like Warner was definitely not that simple. It's just a meeting, just like Shirley Lansing's good attitude towards him, it is also based on his ability to bring benefits to the other party.

Otherwise, ha ha.

Everything is driven by interests, just like him, isn't it the same?

He likes making movies, and he likes Franklin.This is not a conflict, which is why he can listen to Barry Meyer now.

"The movie has been released." He seemed to remember and reminded him: "I don't know when I can see your new work?"

"There is a plan, but it's hard to say when it will be completed." Lehman jokingly said, "I can tell you in advance when the production is finished."

So soon, is there a new filming plan?

Barry Meyer thought to himself.

This is really an unexpected news.

But the more this happens, the more you can see the value of Lehman-a highly productive director with outstanding market performance means too much.

It must be done first.

"You are really a busy person." Barry Meyer paused, and then seemed to be joking. "I wonder if we at Warner might book your next filming schedule?"

Lyman's eyes flickered slightly, and finally came.

"Let's talk about it then, I am very willing to cooperate with a large platform like Warner."

For him, it doesn't matter who he is working with, but Warner can't give him an outrageous value.

In this case, it is better to continue to cooperate with Europa Pictures and Paramount.

It's the same question. He doesn't have any special friendship with Warner, and it's not worth it.

For Lyman's perfunctory, Barry Meyer has already experienced it.

"Perhaps you should listen to our project." When he spoke, he kept looking at Lehman, but he didn't reveal too much emotion. On the contrary, he appeared a little confident—confidence in his project, his own Conditions can move the other's confidence.

"Here is the script, and there is also an original novel. You can take it back and have a look. If you are interested, you can call me." During the conversation, he handed out a business card, "This is my personal phone, sometimes at work. If you’re too busy, you won’t be able to pick it up, so try to call at noon or later."
