Hollywood legendary director

The two exchanged for a while, in front of Lehman.

After the conditions were set, Barry Meyer still agreed, but Joshua Bloomer seemed to have some ideas.

"In terms of casting, do you really have to make concessions?"

"Hey, didn't it mean that everyone was discussing it? What is concession?" Lehman was a little dissatisfied.

"You directors always have selfishness. This is never a good thing for normal film shooting." Joshua also has his own reasons, "We will not be biased, and will select the most suitable."

"Everyone has their own considerations. It is impossible for casting to be unselfish. Anyway, it requires everyone's consent, right? We won't mess around, and I hope you too."

Joshua was about to say something, but was interrupted by Barry Meyer, "That's it, you can ask your team of lawyers to come over and check the last contract."

"You value this kid too much." Joshua was still complaining.

"Don't make things too complicated, okay?" Barry Meyer said: "For the adaptation of the SuperEnglish project, we have been delayed for too long. And the Superman return plan you are responsible for, can it work? Just because the directors have retired one after another, two directors have already been replaced. Can the third one be negotiated? We don’t have time to delay any more. We must first open up the situation, otherwise I won’t be able to explain to the board of directors."

Speaking of this, Barry Meyer was also a little upset.

Just because some people's desire for control is too strong, even a suitable director can't be found in a film that has been approved.

Every time I just joined the group, I was forced to explode and left the field angrily.

Of course, Joshua is not for him to decide. For this type of executive, as long as there is no major mistake, the board will not take any measures against him, at best it is a warning.

"I understand I understand..." Joshua immediately assured.

Barry Meyer spreads out his hands, "Some shareholders already have some opinions on us, and I am almost impatient. In short, whether the DC Manga project can be successful or not, when it comes time to flop, I don’t want to Let Columbia and Twentieth Century Fox continue to be at ease, understand?"

Joshua's face was a bit ugly, but he nodded and left the office.

All this, Lehman was watching.

Presumably Joshua's strength also caused Barry Meyer's dissatisfaction.

Batman's project was promoted by him alone, and he wouldn't allow such delays.

"Where did we talk?"

"lawyer."

"Yes, let your team sign the contract as soon as possible. I hope to see this movie in the summer of next year, can it work?"

"Yes, there is plenty of time."

"That's good."

......

Lehman carefully stroked it through the review time of the lawyers.

Joshua is the director of the production department, yes, he is very strong, but Barry Meyer is the one who speaks of this project.

The powers of the two are not in the same order at all, even if Barry Meyer seldom takes care of the production.

But as it stands now, Barry Meyer is far more determined than Joshua and has a more positive attitude.

In his free time, he also held the non-stop phone call with the senior management of CAA, William Morris, ICM and other brokerage companies to communicate news about the project shooting.

He is a bit urgent, but for Lehman, most of the interests of the two are the same.

Develop projects, launch the market, and attract money back to capital.

It was nothing more than a little right to speak, and he couldn't compete.

But Joshua’s approach is very uncomfortable. In the general direction, although he agrees, he cares about everything and always wants to take care of his own department in the project team.

Nor can it be said that there was a mistake, but the means of doing things are unpleasant.

Barry Meyer is more sleek and willing to take care of other people's emotions.

In terms of contracts, there is no major problem.

Both sides still follow the same standard set before.

The copyright and distribution rights belong to Warner, and Firefly Pictures is responsible for the funds. Warner has an investment share of 20 million, which is invested by projects and the income is divided by the proportion.

Nolan, as a director, also quickly signed a directing contract.

In this contract, he can get about 5 million basic remuneration and box office incentives similar to gambling.

For example, if North America breaks 300 million, he can get an extra 2 million in bonuses, and if it breaks 400 million, that is 3.5 million, and 400 million is the upper limit.

Since Spielberg made more than two billion yuan in box office incentives in "Jurassic Park", many production companies have learnt and will add an incentive box office ceiling to prevent such things from happening again.

After the negotiation, a liquor bureau was established internally.

"Hey." Lyman raised his cup and offered to show his favor to Joshua.

It's done, and the director of the production department is no longer so strong. It may be that Barry Meyer had a showdown with him, which made his understanding of the entire project's collaborative shooting more clear. "Cheers." He took the lead. Drink up.

The relationship between the two is a bit subtle. He is the first producer, and Joshua will definitely find someone to join the crew. Who will listen to?

Whoever has the most power on the set is the one who has the final say.But now everyone knows in their hearts that now is the time to end the calculation.

It is impossible for Joshua to just take care of one project, he is not so free yet.

"Cheers." Barry Meyer, who has worked hard for Warner Bros. for most of his life, regained his smile, as if all the previous disputes had not happened, and the communication skills were still online. "I hope we can cooperate happily."

"Cheers." Joshua also said.

The wine is just a small tasting, it is still working time, and the few people present did not mean to drink it openly.

After drinking the two glasses, Barry Meyer prepared another contract and had some words to sign.

This is a commissioned filming of Batman copyright, and it also means that the project can be invested in the filming budget at a price of 20 million, but it is an agreement with Firefly Pictures to pay.

Anyway, Lyman can't covet any copyright usage of Batman.

This is not simply something that can be settled by being able to use abilities, or having good feelings or favors.

After confirmation, Lehman signed the contract.

Keep them in duplicate.

After everything was set up, Lehman left the Warner Building with the lawyer team, and after paying the compensation that should be paid, he called the agent Johnson, "You should help me select the right issuing company as soon as possible and establish a North American channel. The matter is imminent, I don't want to be so passive anymore."

"I have been paying attention, and I have already had some goals. I am approaching their management, hoping to get an issuing company with complete equity and personnel channels. This is what you want most. Isn't it?"

"Well, help me keep an eye on it."
