Hollywood legendary director

Warner's work is fast.

Not long after, the crew was filled with people.

Even the recording and the drama were not spared, let alone an assistant producer and two production managers, who were in charge of accounting, logistics and even kept reporting the preparations with representatives of third-party insurance companies.

Of course, this was in Lehman's expectation.

Think about the "Titanic" that Fox and Paramount collaborated in the 20th century. The all-in-one trump card lineup also used seven production managers, including three chief producers and four production managers. You can manage everything from the inside out.This also made Cameron grumble every day, in a bad mood, and the tyrant on the set gradually spread from then on.

Subsequently, Lehman finalized the matter of Wuzhi with extremely fast efficiency.

Naturally, the hired Yuan Jiaban needs to pay a total of 400,000 U.S. dollars to follow the group throughout the entire process, and then settle everything after the shooting.

For Nolan, apart from the assistant director and a few shooting confidantes who followed, there was no room for personnel.

Warner's people were always asking questions about his preparations, and he didn't get annoyed and answered them carefully.

Directors who can make their debut in Hollywood basically have one thing in common, that is, they can compromise and endure.

Talent is another matter.

For example, Cameron, everyone laughed at him as a truck driver, not a professional, and he was not as grumpy as he is now.Can you imagine him smiling to raise funds?His first film "Piranha 2: Breeding" was still a mess of others. The former director quit. He found a chance to persuade the producer to go up and it was someone else's project.

Later, it was that he had been successful all the time, and he gradually did not need to endure.

Because he can make money, if he wants to cooperate with him, he needs to endure his bad ailments.

Nolan is the same. If he didn't compromise in the right place, he would not become a great director.

Pride will only irritate people before they have proven themselves.

"Hello, President."

"President."

It was another new day, and Lehman came to the company with a newspaper as usual.

The most popular event recently is that "Spider-Man 2" will premiere worldwide on June 30.

The release of this movie can be different from the general. The global meaning refers to the synchronized push market, unlike ordinary Hollywood movies, which are always released in one or two countries, and then about a week or completely in the local area. , Before the overseas screening.

Don't think it's simple, ordinary movies don't like this.

Because, in addition to overseas channels, it is necessary to plan carefully in advance to achieve simultaneous global screening.

After all, with so many markets and so many theaters, it would have required a lot of manpower and financial resources to ensure smooth communication and release.

Given that the global film market has not been fully developed like the United States, Colombia has been busy with this since the beginning of March, and it only made it happen by throwing out ten to twenty million inside and out.

Of course, there are many benefits, that is, it can develop the market value of the movie to a large extent. If the quality is really good and popular, it can instantly ignite momentum and expand the box office.

In the future, many blockbusters like to do this, but in 2004, it was still not common.

After reading the newspaper, Lyman stopped by the production department.

As the boss of the producer and the chief producer, he has the highest authority. Although he doesn't need to work too hard on specific tasks, he has to support Nolan.

This special Warner throws so many managers over. Although they know that this is something that people also attach great importance to, the distribution of power is a big problem.

And the casting director and another executive director are also theirs.

However, although these people gathered in Firefly Pictures, it is still far from the time to discuss the specific shooting.

Because the selection, actors, and even the most important audience for the movie still need to be determined, and on top of that, set the tone for a series of issues such as classification and plot.

In the huge conference room, two groups of people gave each other opinions.

The director is surrounded by all kinds of arguments.

As for Lehman, he only pursued one principle, found the optimal solution, and supported Nolan's shooting ideas.

"So, this movie is an action thriller, aimed at comic fans, young people and some ethnic minority groups, right?" Warner's production manager said after hearing Nolan's confirmation of the plot outline.

"Yes, this is what I think." Nolan answered very patiently.

"If it's horrified, will there be violent scenes and gore?" another production manager asked.

"There will be some, but it will not be too explicit, nor will it particularly emphasize this aspect, but the atmosphere of the film is biased towards horror." Nolan replied.

"That's good, with a small number of sensitive clips, we can still get the PG13 rating." The production manager nodded, "The plot is also suitable for non-manga viewing, and will not affect the viewing effect. Mainstream manga It shouldn't be too annoying. I have a good grasp."

Warner is also really hungry, such a movie rating can get PG13, and his "Bad Guy" has only a few violent scenes, but it is categorized as R.

But who made the MPAA Association, the American grading system, whose review members are jointly held by the seven largest film companies in the United States, (the six largest plus MGM) and some practitioners of television media, as long as Warner is willing to pay a certain price , Can still get past.

For example, "X-Men", it is also PG13.

"The movie is initially scheduled for the summer vacation next year, when the students are on vacation. The student group is the main audience of comics." Another production manager said.

"What about the distribution? Did you communicate?" But Lehman spoke.

"I have communicated with the distribution department. When the preparations are completed, we will hold a launch conference to first stir up the momentum of the Batman adaptation, and then wait until the film is completed, and guide the heat step by step until the movie is released. For the distribution cost, we still need to see the film before making a decision, but we will definitely cooperate with the early hype..."

After more than two hours of discussions, the people at Warner are not ashamed of being professional, and they have asked all aspects in place before they leave with satisfaction.

For this project, no one wants to fail.

Before leaving the meeting room, Lehman patted Nolan on the shoulder, "Thank you."

"This is my job. There is no hard work." Nolan shook his head, with a little emotion, "If you can persuade them and unify their opinions, it will be a blessing for the specific shooting."

Lehman nodded, agreeing, "Have you finished the shot?"

"Alright, then I will go to the studio first."

Part of the crew has already started designing props and costumes at Warner Studios.

After Nolan left, Lehman's phone vibrated suddenly.

It was a message from Kate Beckinsale.
