Hollywood legendary director

Maybe the script is good enough, or maybe Barry Meyer's face is big enough.

In short, after Lehman met with Father Clint Eastwood several times, his agent quickly reached an agreement with the crew, and the performance pay was also a symbolic $3 million-the peak of the actor's career. He is usually between 30 and 45 years old, but he is a director and his worth is not easy to estimate. This number was given by his agent after referring to his opinions.It can be considered that Lyman owes some favors.

After the signing of the performance contract, if the iron-blooded cowboy with a rich resume is not surprised, he will probably play "Frankie". The image of this role is almost tailored for him. It is also the first time Lehman saw the script An actor who thinks of (Generally speaking, Hollywood is the stronghold of the left, but this is different, it is a hard-core right. For the left, refer to Hillary’s campaign philosophy) can be seen from his political stand, just like his classic Like his screen image, he pursues the logic of "the strong" and hates hypocrisy.

At the same time, after asking Lehman's opinion, Warner quickly arranged the media to release news about the preparation plan for the new film.

"The next work directed by Lyman: the inspirational drama "Million Dollar Baby""

This is the headline of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times. For a film company of Warner's size, it is very simple to hype the popularity of a movie.

After the newspaper was launched on the market, some news appeared in major forums one after another, and then was reprinted everywhere, and also caused extensive discussion on the Internet.

After all, after so few works, this year another movie like "Bad Guy" that caused a movie-watching craze was released. Lyman's popularity is among the directors, which can be considered very high, and there are many fans.

Anyway, the people who followed him almost learned the relevant information from various channels and knew that Lehmann was planning to shoot a new work.

As for the co-filming party, there is no one cares about the newly established Firefly Pictures by Lehman.

Although the media know it, they don't pay much attention to it. It's really not surprising that directors and actor stars start film companies.

Los Angeles has never lacked film companies. The media pay more attention to movies. His fifth movie, inspirational drama?

......

"Director Lyman, there has been news recently that it is the actor of the film that will be played by Clint Eastwood. Is this true?"

As soon as Lehman walked out of Warner's headquarters building, he was surrounded by a large group of reporters, asking about all kinds of news related to "Million Dollar Baby."

"Excuse me, what is your idea of ​​filming? Why did you choose such a subject film?"

"Can you take the liberty to ask, is there anyone else in the movie? Tom Cruise? Nicholas Cage? Heath Ledger?" The reporter ordered all the actors who used to work with Lyman.

At this moment, surrounded by more than a dozen reporters, the microphone almost poked his face.Although Lehman knew that this was Warner's propaganda method, he had been enthusiastic about the project before shooting, and of course he was willing to cooperate.

As for how to cooperate, Lehman directly indicated with actions.

Ask whatever you want, alas, I just don’t.

The gossip is flying all over the sky, and there is no complete corroboration. Will that only arouse greater topicality?

If everyone knows everything, then there are a few more meanings.

Lehman is deeply committed to the propaganda strategy formulated by Warner and strictly adheres to it.

The chaotic scene attracted the attention of the security guards at the door. Soon several people rushed to maintain order, but the reporters always surrounded Lehman, seemingly not giving a clear answer, and decided not to let him leave.

Unfortunately, Johnson drove there.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, the reporter paparazzi could no longer maintain their posture, and rushed up again, and some even grabbed Lehman's clothes and prevented him from running.

In the chaotic situation, the security personnel were exceptionally strong and forced Lehman to rush out of the reporter's encirclement and get into the car parked on the outskirts of the road.

Sitting in the driving seat, Johnson looked at Lyman's embarrassment, and started the car quickly while saying, "It looks like the publicity effect is pretty good."

"It's okay to have this kind of thing once in a while," Lehman said, sorting out his scattered clothes, "I can't stand it a few more times."

"The media needs topicality, we need attention, and it’s a hit. Don’t worry, it’s going to be a little crazy in these two weeks. Also, when it comes to hype, Warner is more than a level better than Paramount.” Johnson said with some emotion.

Nonsense, the later generations of Warner do not know how many classic publicity cases have been run. In terms of publicity, Disney can barely compare.

......

Paramount Pictures Headquarters Building, Hollywood.

Marketing director Andrew David hurried past the aisle, greeted the president's assistant secretary, knocked on the door, and sat opposite Shirley Lansing.

"I have got the exact news," he said without any nonsense, directly speaking of the topic of discussion that suddenly appeared in the newspaper these two days, "Warner really collaborated with Lyman on this film."

Shirley Lansing frowned. "So fast?"

"Yes, I'm afraid they had premeditated, so the project can be completed so quickly."

It has been less than a week since the banquet, so they just hooked up together. If you say you haven't contacted it in private before, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

"What is he thinking?" Shirley Lansing asked puzzledly.

"Maybe only he knows it." Andrew David was also quite helpless.In the past two years, Lyman-Last’s project is simply Paramount’s cash cow, but at the moment this cash cow has the intention of hopping to the Warner’s next door. It is about real interests. How can it be easy?

You must know that Paramount is not bad to him, the benefits are shared, and it has never been in arrears, but this is silent, and he cooperates with others, which makes Andrew David's face not good.

Of course, there is no betrayal. The two have always been partners.It's just unhappy.

Shirley Lansing was unhappy, but from this incident, she could also see that Lyman was not as "docile" as before. However, Paramount has always been Paramount, which is not change.

After thinking about it, she immediately said: "Report to the board of directors. The acquisition of DreamWorks may speed up the process a bit, and we can't delay it any longer."

"Okay, I know."

Perhaps what Lehman didn’t expect was that his slight plan for the future made Paramount’s acquisition of DreamWorks much earlier. Shirley Lansing knew that Paramount’s production capabilities were gradually gradually increasing. Can't keep up with the standard, but also determined to introduce DreamWorks and complete the transformation.
