Hollywood legendary director

Firefly Pictures Office.

Lyman was sitting in the boss chair reading the newspaper, occasionally paying attention to whether Wen Ziren had come.

Three weeks ago, Lehman received a call saying that the script of "Dead Silence" was rewritten, but it was busy and there was no time. Until now, the film is finished, and Thomas is taking care of the post-production work. Make time to discuss the matter.

In the middle of these days, Wen Ziren was also busy preparing for the establishment of a crew, and occasionally ran to direct an episode of "The Walking Dead", which saved Lehman a lot of time.

In addition, it is the actor's problem.

The investment in "Dead Silence" will not be too much, and the props will cost a lot of money. After all, with so many realistic dolls, it is necessary to find some actors with existing performance experience and affordable pay.It's not hard to find, it's a rare choice.

After all, Hollywood lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of actors.

Before anyone came, Lehman continued to read the newspaper.

He was holding a copy of the Los Angeles Daily News.

The entertainment page is mostly centered around news news such as the next Oscars.

What and so who won public praise from well-known film critics, and what won so and so awards.

Anyway, it's over for the judges.

Lehman was wondering if he would notify Warner's public relations team to put off the pace of touting. If the hype is too high, it may also cause the judges to rebel.

Human heart is always unpredictable...

"Boss, Wen Ziren and Ray Navor are here." The assistant came in and said.

"Let them in, pour two cups of coffee."

In a moment, Wen Ziren took a briefcase and walked in with Navor.

After the meeting, Wen Ziren said happily: "The script has been revised. According to what you said that day, the character of the villain Mary Xiao should be more easily recognized by the audience."

After sitting down, Warner also said through the topic: "Mr. Lyman, thanks to your suggestion, otherwise the plot writing of the script is indeed ill-considered, and some details are ignored."

"Nothing. No matter how good the story is, it needs to be shot by the right person. Moreover, the inspiration for this script is a nightmare. You will inevitably fall into a mental stalemate. I just made a statement from the standpoint of an outsider. Opinion." Lyman smiled and beckoned, and asked the assistant to pass the coffee to the two of them, "Did you bring the script?"

"Ok."

After giving the revised script to Lehman, Wen Ziren couldn't help but look at Lehman.

He admired Lehman very much. Not only did he perform well in the film, he did a career, but he also treated people sincerely.

In Wen Ziren's heart, this is an idol he needs to catch up with.

So even after the success of the "Chain Saw" series, he did not fail to listen to the opinions, so arrogant that he thought his work could not go wrong.

After reading the new "Dead Silence" script, Lehman nodded in satisfaction.

This version is much more logical than the original version. Mary Shaw is no longer a moral bitch, but belongs to the victim. The folk songs that curse the town can also be explained. It can be said that it has great potential for shooting.

"So, do you have a suitable candidate for the actors?" Lyman asked curiously.

"Well, there are roughly two candidates, Ryan Covington as the protagonist Jamie, and Laura Reagan as the woman in the town's survivors."

"Well, it's not bad." Wen Ziren briefly talked about their performance qualifications, and Lehmann agreed.

Ryan Covington is a popular TV drama star in Australia. He has a good image and looks handsome. He is both photogenic and has acting experience.

Lehman can also guess that Wen Ziren's main reason for choosing him as the male lead is definitely to flatter himself as an Australian fellow.

This is also true. After Ryan exploded in Australia, like many regional stars, he wanted to break into Hollywood and become an international superstar.

After all, it is very clear who has more film resources in Hollywood and Australia.

As an actor, who is not ambitious yet.

Moreover, he has this capital and is naturally willing to go for it.

After going back and forth, I found Wen Ziren, because in Hollywood, Australia also survived by the newspaper group, known as the Australian Gang.

When the Jews have made a good start, everyone is more willing to warm up and strengthen their voice in the strange Hollywood newspaper group.

Today’s Aussie Gang is represented by Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving. The next generation of facades will be Liam Hemsworth and Margot Robbie. And Heath Ledger.

Well, little t Troyer-Hiven is the third generation.

Therefore, the Australian Gang still has some connections in Hollywood, and they are also willing to help their families.

In parallel time and space, Wen Ziren will find so many Australian actors in his works based on this. After all, he has lived in Australia for nearly ten years.

Moreover, even if these two candidates exclude external interference, they are actually very suitable.

After all, is it affordable?

"Dead Silence" does not have too many choices for the investment quota. The second-tier and above actors basically pass, because the price is too high, which will reduce the production cost, and will not be invited.

The popular Australian star went to seek development in Hollywood, and according to the rules, he was only a little better than the newcomer. For example, if Ryan starred in the male lead of "Dead Silence", he would only earn less than 200,000 yuan. And it has a good publicity effect on the Australian market.

After all, the combination of local popular star Jia Wen Ziren can obviously be positively affirmed by Australian audiences.

Lehman glanced at Wen Ziren and said, "Do the remaining characters have goals?"

"Not yet, but I have contacted caa, icm and other brokerage companies and asked them to screen first."

"Well, let's set up this project as soon as possible. I will go to the Legal Department to draw up a contract and determine the investment situation of the project. Oh, yes, I want to hand over the release of this work to Blue Butterfly Pictures. Responsible, what do you mean?"

"Blue Butterfly Pictures?" Ray Warner frowned, "Can you tell me more specifically?"

In Wen Ziren's studio, in addition to Firefly Pictures, Ray Warner also has equity, and the project's interest division has always been with Lionsgate or Paramount. If you rashly change the distribution partner, it will inevitably be questioned. .

Even if they all know that Blue Butterfly Pictures is also in charge of Lehman.

However, many benefits are really involved, so you have to understand it.

"Rest assured, Blue Butterfly Pictures is still able to distribute such low-cost movies. If it is caused by communication with theaters or announcements, we will definitely bear any losses. This can be written into the contract. And the distribution lottery If it succeeds, we can reduce the treatment of the partner a little bit, as long as 10% of North America’s. As for the promotion costs, the two parties will pay together. The investment ratio is still 40% for you and 60% for Firefly Pictures. The specific salary is another. all the same."

"Good," Warner glanced at Wen Ziren and said: "Draw up a contract. We will prepare a crew and make a shooting plan as soon as possible."
