Hollywood legendary director

"Probably that's it, Warner's people will definitely intervene, but I will always stand by your side."

In the office of the president of Firefly Pictures the next day, Lehman explained the additional conditions to Nolan in detail.

Nolan was fine. In his early career as a director, he was used to compromise.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Lehman convened the company's production department for a small meeting.

There are currently more than 30 people in the production department, but fewer than 10 are qualified to enter the conference room.

Lehman, Black Cole and Ray Warner are at the top of the food chain, at least in this conference room.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Lehman coughed twice and said: "Before the meeting begins, let me talk about the company's current production projects. The first one is that Ray Warner will be the director of "Chain Saw 3". The filming is scheduled to start in July, and the producer is Wen Ziren. The second one is "Daydreamer" directed by myself, and the producer Ryan, I have a good idea in this regard. The third one is to film with Warner The Batman movie, directed by Christopher Nolan."

After talking about the project to be produced, Lehman said again: "And today, we mainly set the production team of "Batman" initially, because Warner will also arrange for the filming staff to join. They, we don't care, we Do your own thing first. So, let Black Cole fill the position of production manager."

"..."

In an instant, Black Cole's facial muscles twitched.

The production department was formed by the former Rodrian Films staff and some external practitioners.

He is an old man from Rodrian Films, and I didn't expect Lehman to involve him in such an important project.

This shows that he still has a position in the company.Black Cole thought to himself.

As for some other people, they are a little bit lonely. If the Batman project cannot be found, only the other two projects are available, and Lehman will directly decide to die when he speaks. The meaning of the words is quite positive for Black Cole. Trust is even less tasteful.

However, Lehmann didn't care about this, and he went on to say: "William will be left to the location selection."

"I must complete the task."

A middle-aged white man with glasses stood up. It was William. He was the leader of the set group of "Hellboy" and was fairly experienced. He belonged to the outside party.

"Field affairs, Alexander."

"Art, Megan Nathan."

"Lights, Gabriel."

Lehman thought about it one by one, trying to include people in the production department in the crew he won. It is impossible to say that it is all-round. At least for the filming, it is probably because there are more people in Warner, but the most important thing is. Management positions are still dominated by fireflies.

Everyone is a little nervous, especially those who haven't been named, for fear that they won't be able to get a job.

After all, such a big project is the more prominent qualification.

It's a pity that only 5 can be selected in the end.

Those who got the spot were naturally relieved, and those who didn't get the spot were a little bit disappointed, but it wasn't much.

"I will communicate with Warner as soon as possible to formally set up the crew. Those who have no names will participate in the crew of "Chain Saw 3". The specifics are determined by Wen Ziren and Ray Warner."

Lehman didn't mention the positions of assistant director and cameraman at all, because he promised Nolan.

The assistant director is usually the director's confidant, and the camera is also the most familiar person the director uses. There are candidates for this part of Nolan's studio, and Lehman doesn't want to go beyond.

After it was settled, Lehman continued: "So, everyone has read the script. If you have anything you want to say, you can quickly bring it up, brainstorm and solve the problem as soon as possible."

Seeing that everyone is still hesitating, Black Cole first said: "The scene design of this play involves many aspects of action, so martial arts guidance is very important. Have we already chosen it?"

"No, do you have any suggestions?" Lehman shook his head and asked.

"How about the team that filmed "Bad Guy" last time. They are very good at action design for guns and close combat." said a production staff who had been involved in filming "Bad Guy".

"No, they are CAA people, but they have a very rigid design for actual combat actions. If they are gangsters or street gangsters fighting, they can be chosen, but this is Batman. You can't let Bruce Wayne. Let's fight fiercely. It's not beautiful at all, but it's real." Lehman shook his head and directly denied the suggestion.He has worked with people from that group of action teams, and he naturally knows their action style.

"How about the action team of Van Helsing? Classical design?" Another person said.

"No. It's still not beautiful enough. Isn't the script designed that Bruce Wayne will go to a master organization to learn martial arts? If it is not technical, it will definitely not work." It was Black Cole who was retorting, but it made sense.

After talking for a long time, Lehman had an idea.

"Well, leave this to me, let's discuss the next item. Is there anyone else who has a problem?"

"A matter of location." William asked: "Many of the scenes in the script need to be located, but I want to ask, in addition to the United States, there are some snow scenes that may go to Iceland. Other locations determine which country Would be better, Australia? Canada? Or France, Britain?"

"Prioritize Britain."

"Okay, I will pay attention to this." William, who was inclined, sat down decisively.

The location part in Batman is not complicated, and it doesn't have that particularity, so it's easy to find.

The general location selection will consider shooting expenses or tax cuts. In the UK, the tax cuts are not the most favorable, but it is convenient, and Nolan is also more familiar with it.

In fact, they talked about the preliminary preparations. As for the casting, and even more specific filming, they have to wait for the people on Warner to come to discuss.

The discussion was almost done, Lehman knocked on the table, "Let's stop here today, everyone try to be busy with their own affairs. Okay, the meeting is over."

As soon as the voice fell, Black Cole straightened his back and walked out, hurriedly confirming the preparations with Director Nolan.

As for the others, they are all in a good mood.

After Lehman got out of the meeting room, he called Johnson and asked him to make an appointment.

After speaking, hung up the phone, and looked at the company's daily operation report in the office.

In this regard, Joseph is still doing a good job, and the overseas box office settlement with Europa is also gradually paid.

About half an hour later, Johnson called and said it was arranged.

Lyman drove to...
