Hollywood legendary director

In the conference room of Firefly Pictures, except for a few senior managers of the original company who were not too familiar with Lehman, they were sitting cautiously.

Thomas drew an office chair and sat upright next to Lyman, holding a draft of the partial lens in his hand at the research station.

Johnson was okay, sitting upright on Lehman's left side, but his eyes were erratic and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other hand, crew members such as York and Josh were sitting together and whispering.

However, this is just a simple project discussion.

Two small company employees are busy making coffee for everyone, and another errand runner is sending everyone a photocopy of Johnson's shooting schedule.

After a short glance, Joyce Laura from the Finance Department gave a general report on the accounts under Lehman’s eyes, excluding various expenses, prop leasing, scene construction, team salary, and "Million Dollar Baby" Before the shooting, the 30 million budget left only 17.62 million US dollars.

"Well, I'll just say a few words first."

After Laura finished speaking, Lehman took the words: "This is our company’s second project. We are still cooperating with a large company like Warner. Don’t say how much money must be made, at least not at a loss, right. Ours Everyone knows the reality of the line, the more practical, the less you can’t fail."

"...Movies are profitable, so everyone can get a lot of money. If you are familiar with me, you should know that I am not a stingy person..."

Rory talked a lot, boosted his morale, and looked forward to the future.Only then did Lehman talk about business, "The official shooting is about to take place in two days. Do you have any questions that have not been resolved?"

"The shooting equipment is ready," Thomas said first.

"It's okay to build a few scenes." This is what York said.

"The required props are also OK."

Lehman nodded, satisfied with the preliminary work of the crew, and then asked Johnson, "Has the actors notified?"

"Well, I have all called."

"That's good," Lehman thought for a while, and then said: "Wait, you will go back to the studio first, and then check again for any omissions. Thomas, you go to the Los Angeles City Hall and ask them for the right to film the street. Johnson, you go to CAA to gather a group of extras, and you need to use it for the subsequent shooting."

Under the right circumstances, Lehman is willing to give back something to CAA, such as supporting roles and group performances, which almost all made Johnson win CAA's favor. This is part of the reason why CAA is willing to support Lehman.

The two are mutually beneficial, one has resources, and the other can be realized.

Why not?

Hearing this, Johnson was naturally fine, but Thomas quickly said with a bitter face: "I'm not familiar with those government officials, who am I looking for."

Lehman smiled and said: "I believe in your abilities. If you go to ask seriously, you will know. It is not illegal to borrow the street for filming."

As several people were talking, a clerk at the front desk knocked on the door and walked in, ran to Lehman's side and whispered, "Mr. Ryan is here."

"Let him come up." Lehman finished speaking and said to everyone: "Okay, let's do it, everyone will go down and do their own things."

The meeting room became empty in a blink of an eye.

The others are okay, Ryan is here and they are all very happy.

But Blake Cole, the head of Firefly Pictures’ marketing department, lamented in his heart: I think he had been in this company for so many years, and finally took the position of management, and witnessed the acquisition of the original company by Lehman and the immediate reorganization. The status of the industry has risen visible to the naked eye. I wanted to make a big splash, but it was a temporary job.

Once Ryan comes, his identity will become that person's deputy, which is really tragedy.

But Lehman can't be blamed, who makes him trust Ryan more.

There are currently less than 50 employees in the company, but most of them are familiar with him, and not as many as the original management. This is a taboo in the workplace.

Lehman didn't want to. When he was working hard to shoot a movie, his family was guarded by a group of outsiders. Not only the marketing department, but several other departments also had to slowly transform into his confidant.

Back to his president's office, after a while, the girl at the front desk brought in Ryan, who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Maybe it was because of just getting off the plane and rushing over right away.

But when he saw Lyman, he gave a happy hug.

"Unexpectedly, you also bought a movie company."

Ryan sat aside and looked at Lehman very curiously. Lehman was embarrassed.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"No, it feels a bit weird. Originally, when we opened a studio, I took care of most of the affairs. You didn't care about it at all, but now you don't expect to take the initiative to find something for yourself. You have changed, Lehman." After that, He shook his head sorrowfully, as if he were sorry.

"Don't be funny. I have handed over the marketing department of the company to you, so remember to pay more attention."

Ryan knew about this for a long time, and Lehmann called and told him shortly after Rodrian Pictures changed its name and before the filming of "Million Dollar Baby" was planned.

At that time, he was busy sharing accounts with Europa Pictures for "Bad Guy" overseas, and investing in the investment of "Very Human Trafficker". He was surprised for a long time when he first heard the news.

He knew how lazy this guy Lehman was, he didn't care about anything except making movies.

"Oh, by the way, Europa Pictures has already paid part of the overseas share of the film. Now, Mann Studios still has 330 million on the account, plus the subsequent share of the account, it can be 370 million , Do you want to call this money?"

The overseas box office of "Bad Guy" is close to 400 million U.S. dollars. According to the sharing clause signed by the two parties, it can get 15%, which is about 45 million U.S. dollars.

"Leave 30 million on the account, and transfer the rest one after another. There is an empty shell, which will only be used to negotiate and cooperate with Europa Pictures. It is a French office. The real development is the Firefly. Pictures."

Lehman thought for a while and said.

If this is done, Ryan will hold 50% of the Firefly shares in the name of Mann Studios, while Lehman also holds 50% of the shares in Mann Studios. In other words, Ryan will only hold 100% Of 25 shares of Firefly.

In this way, it is also more convenient for Lehman to operate, because the future development is big, there will always be a part of the dry shares to gather people's hearts.

Furthermore, in case of seeking cooperation or acquiring an issuing company, replacement is inevitable.

Of course, that's all in the future.
