Hollywood legendary director

"Well, the film's award public relations mainly focus on the best film, best director and actors."

Barry Meyer waved his hand and said in an indisputable tone: "No matter whether you can win the final prize, you will get the nomination first. The momentum is built."

"Is there anything I need to cooperate?" Lehman asked.

"Let’s talk about it after the Golden Globes. Now there is no need to win over the judges." Barry Meyer finished speaking, looked at the watch and said: "If you agree, I have something to leave."

Everyone was polite, and he quickly nodded and left.

A total of a conversation took less than an hour to finalize the charter.

Joseph was just watching, and several Warner executives also walked out of the reception room.

With a relaxed face, Lehman pulled Joseph over and whispered: "I will leave it to you to contact Warner in the future. You should first meet the high-levels of Warner."

Joseph nodded and said yes.

Now the internal affairs of the company are managed very well by Joseph, and some rules have been established.

Lehman also recognized his abilities more and more, and took the initiative to load him.

You know, the cooperative network established by Lehman and Warner is a network that Joseph couldn't match when he was a Colombian executive.

Joseph was also a wise man. Hearing what Lehmann said, he knew that his position in the company was going to rise again.

Although there is no fluctuation in the current expression, I am still happy.

As a senior wage earner, who doesn't want to move up his salary.

...

After discussing the operation of "Million Dollar Baby", Laiman and Joseph did not stay in the Warner Building for a long time. Just after noon, I found a few people I knew to have a meal outside and introduced him to Joseph. , Then went back to the company.

Top, Ryan and others are still busy with the TV series "The Walking Dead".

So, Lyman arranged for Thomas to help prepare the crew of the film "The Mist".

The total budget for this project is about 58 million U.S. dollars, which is three times higher than the previous version. After all, the original director can't get much investment, everything is saved, and the cast has no market appeal. This kind of money is made entirely by the quality of the movie.

Like the starring Thomas Jane and Marcia, limited by the image, they are not the backbone of the second-line actors.

Then don't mention the special effects and the scenery. They are not bonus items. They are almost too satisfactory.

Therefore, the budget raised to nearly 60 million US dollars is the ideal production funding for this work.

The actor is the hardest hit area for replacement.

The confirmed Cage plays the protagonist David, a painter; Eva plays Amanda, a religious fanatic; the black uncle can be played by Samuel Jackson.

Well, the future director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a supporting role emperor, and the effect is very good.

And the remaining few roles are not so heavy, you can save a little money and choose some third-rate actors to play... Well, there is both flow and acting responsibility, and the matching is very reasonable.

On the 28th, night.

There was a screening of "Million Dollar Baby" early this morning.

Warner strictly abides by the strategy of controlling the reputation of movies with a small number of movie theaters.

Only from a few major chain theaters, there are fewer than 15 theaters, and the film output is not high.

Not only that, but not many passers-by audiences can notice that this movie has already started, because there is not even a newsworthy publicity in the newspaper.

It was extremely peaceful.

Of course, several other Chong'ao works have similar strategies.

Everyone needs to control word-of-mouth, and can't make a big announcement.

Moreover, "Million Dollar Baby" officially debuted in the North American market for the first time, and Warner didn't hold any premiere.

Just let the theater release tickets.

From nine o'clock in less than an hour, the tickets were snapped up by the long-awaited fans of director Lyman's work.

For this phenomenon, Lehman actually thinks it is reasonable.

After all, with the reputation he has gained from the previous works, he is still a bit appealing.And as early as the middle of this year, the scene of "Million Dollar Baby" in Cannes has already spread to North America, and many people are waiting.

So when the people at Warner told him that the ticket was emptied, Lehman was still very calm.

...

"Huh? Lyman's new work has landed in theaters?"

"Just click on it?"

"The early morning ticket."

"Okay, give me the review of the new movie."

"Okay, that's it."

"Dudu...dudu..."

The phone was hung up, but Bella began to look forward to it.

As a film critic and a patent writer for the Chicago Daily, Bella would be very willing as long as it was filmed by Lehmann, even if it was a film in the early hours of the morning.

However, the waiting time is grind.

Entering from a few theaters, Bella waited for the feature film to be shown, watching the seats slowly fill up.

At this time, such a movie, with very little publicity, still has so many audiences and fans to support?

Bella didn't think this would be the case in her theater alone.

Well, director Lyman has a good reputation.

Bella thought with some joy.

...

"I heard that this film has got Palme d'Or?"

"Director Lehman's works are pretty good, I can watch it over and over several times."

"I also bought a CD of "Bad Guy" and I want to watch it again when I am free."

"Are you the same? Me too."

"I don't know what kind of movie watching experience this movie will have..."

Movie fans gradually entered, and the not-so-large movie hall suddenly became lively.

Not to mention that many viewers themselves are very concerned about the dynamics of Lehman's new work before they realize the fact that the screening has started.

Bella listened to the discussion of the people around her, and unconsciously changed to a comfortable position and sat on the seat.

Very pleasant.

That's how it should be to watch movies well.

The headlights above were extinguished one by one, but a large dark screen came with light...

The movie begins.

"I hope it will be a good movie again."

At the beginning of the game, the cold lens texture was drawn into the story of the 30-year-old female boxer Maggie...

In his dying years, Frankie, the owner and coach of the boxing gym whose family affection is unsatisfactory, after encountering various setbacks in life, even the trained fighters abandoned him...

When Frankie could only watch his apprentice get the gold belt on TV, he realized that what the old friend said also made sense-life is hard, we have to be harder!

Behind this, Frankie was also afraid of the boxer being injured and overprotecting the boxer.

...

It is also difficult for Bella to imagine that such a simple story would be controlled so smoothly by director Lyman.

She thinks she knows the style of Lyman's work fairly well.

But when Lehmann abandoned warm lighting, fancy shot editing, transitions, no handsome actors or actresses, and even no shocking scenes and props.Compared to his previous works, it is plain.

The only thing that remains is the detailed description of the characters and the narrative techniques that are eloquent.

Awesome!

After watching the movie for most of the time, Bella was not only immersed in the plot of the work, but also admired the changes in Lyman's shooting methods...
