Hollywood legendary director

This time the Cannes Film Festival was a success. Not only can I force my resume to be upgraded, but more realistically, the follow-up operation of the film has been smoother.Except for Hillary Clinton, everyone who may be frustrated has gained a lot.

Los Angeles, Warner Pictures.

Barry Meyer was very happy to receive the news.

There is quite a feeling that promising talents have not let him down.

Then he notified the Propaganda Department and asked them to take advantage of the heat.

Coincidentally, Cannes closed and many press releases were sent back to the United States.

So, after the people got up the next day, news about Cannes was overwhelming.

"The 57th Cannes International Film Festival "Million Dollar Baby" won the three heavyweight trophies of Palme d'Or, Best Director and Best Actor."-"New York Daily".

"Director Lehmann's new work won the highest award in Cannes. The screening has been well received and recommended by many film critics."-"Los Angeles Daily"

"Six mentions and three, "Million Dollar Baby" became the biggest winner of the Cannes Film Festival."-"San Francisco Report".

......

Suddenly, there was a big wave.

Under the impact of this, many fans have taken full interest in films that have not yet been released but have won awards.

I really want to know what is the charm of this well-rumored masterpiece.

Lionsgate is bitter.

Their "Fahrenheit 911" won a screenplay award, and there is no attention at all.

If it hadn’t been for the loss of more than 100,000 US dollars in publicity expenses, the major newspapers would not have even given a page, but even so, the related news was suppressed by the popularity of "Million Dollar Baby", and nothing happened. movement.

Looking at the past, it is all Lyman, new work, "Million Dollar Baby", Palme d'Or...there are all core elements, news highlights, and no one pays attention to "Fahrenheit 911".

The only thing that can be regarded as a relief to Lionsgate is that "Million Dollar Baby" is not going to be released directly with the heat, but it is announced that it will not be shown in December.

This instruction is very easy to understand. Warner seems to be determined to compete for Oscar.

But "Fahrenheit 911" is different. Although Lionsgate wants to compete for the Oscars, they still consider the market first rather than honor.

They just waited for the heat of "Million Dollar Baby" to pass, a wave of hype, directly into the theater.

The fans were a little upset, and they were full of expectations just now, but it turned out to be screened in December.

Of course, there is no way.

For Warner, if such an award-winning work can't maximize the benefits, isn't it just giving it for nothing.

If you can shine at the Oscars and take this trend, the operation of copyright is not known how much higher than the simple box office.

Everyone has his own abacus.

On May 29, Lehmann set out to return to the United States after clarifying the trivial matters.

After getting off the plane, let Johnson send Hilary Swank home, and then return to his mansion.

Only the housekeeper was watching, and Eva did not come back from filming.

Lehmann put his luggage away, and put the two trophies specially checked back in the display cabinet.

Take a shower and lie down in bed to rest.

After a hard journey, I soon fell asleep.

After a day's rest at home, he adjusted his body. On May 31, Lehman went to the company again.

Joseph's management methods are really good.

At least, better than when he was there.

Staff departments are divided in order, and the promotion and punishment system has also established a standard.

In addition, the recruiters have not stopped in the past few weeks. After Lehman entered the company, he discovered that Firefly Pictures had grown from more than 80 employees to more than 110.

At least the production department has met the scale of opening three plays at the same time.

As the number of employees increased, the office space had to be expanded.

Lehman listened to Joseph's suggestion, and rented the two office rooms upstairs, and then simply decorated them. It is estimated that they will be available in a week.

Joseph's abilities are indeed excellent, coupled with his experience in Colombia, he has no shortage of vision and management methods.

Of course, when it comes to the ability of film and television production, he can only be regarded as average, because he has rarely been in contact with similar businesses for so many years, but he still has some experience in publicity and market research.

However, Lehman is the one in charge of the production business, and Joseph can manage the company's daily operations, which makes people very satisfied.

He made up his mind to give Joseph an extra bonus at the end of the year, which is also an incentive.

Then, the expansion of the production department also requires a deputy to coordinate his ideas.

Only talking about ability and close relationship, Lehman wanted Thomas to do it.

But Thomas is reluctant and doesn't want to bother with this.

People have no idea, and Lehman is not tough.

So let Black Cole serve as the vice president of the production department to assist him in his work.

Blake Cole was an old man in the original company. He had previously served as Ryan's deputy. However, the production department was the company's trump card department. Although the rank was not elevated, the status was actually elevated a bit, and he was naturally delighted.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Lehman began to write the script of "Daydreamer".

Now that they have met Kim Carey by chance, and the two have sincere cooperation, they can't let go of such a work that they also liked very much in the past life.

Also in these few days, "The Day After Acquired" operated by 20th Century Fox was officially released.

He also took the time to run to the Emirates Rock Theater to participate in the premiere.

Actually, this movie has no story, but the special effects are very good.

Whether it is a flood or a small glacier, it gives a strong visual effect.

Film critics naturally don't like this kind of popcorn works much, and they mostly mock and criticize them.

But the audience was satisfied and the ticket price was very worthwhile, but the market responded enthusiastically.

On the first day, the box office won more than 23 million yuan excluding the midnight show.

Eva still couldn't be free.

It is also the actor's duty to run the promotion for the pay.

Except for the premiere, they met, and Eva followed the crew around the road.

As for Lehman, after writing the outline of the script and asking Ryan to add the lines and background of the story, he sent a copy to Kim Carey to let him figure out the role.

Just as the scenes of the movie were being completed, Johnson came.

Also brings a message.

Said it was Barry Meyer who asked him to meet.

Lehman was a little confused. The filming of this movie was finished, and everyone knew about the operation process.

What does he mean by inviting him to meet now?

Ask Johnson, Johnson also doesn't know.

He is only responsible for bringing the words.

You know, Warner's summer vacation is not easy.

The failure of "Troy" has already caused considerable losses to Warner.

With such thoughts in mind, Lyman also agreed to meet.

Anyway, he still intends to continue holding this thigh of Warner Bros.
