Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 502 Picking up a rock and hitting one's own foot (seeking subscription, tickets)

Half of February has passed, but no one thought, including Lehman, why there would be a very hot news at this node.

Yes, Cameron and Lehman talked very happily-this is the front page headline given by the "New York Daily".

In just one click, it was reprinted by the major media and became the object of discussion among countless people eating melons.

In fact, in February, there were Oscar shortlisted works, and there was also a hot momentum in the screening of "The Mist", but it was not expected that my family would steal the heat of my works.

It’s no wonder that for entertainment audiences across the U.S., the reason why the attention of this topic is so high is that these two people are very low-key-whether it is Cameron or Lyman, as the director, the fan base accumulated by the work is large. Yes, except for the release of the works, the two people neither participated in excessive media exposure, nor did they have any personal private lives disclosed by the newspapers.

To put it simply, the audience has a strong lust for both of them.

When the two met in private, and they didn't know what they were talking about, it made people even more concerned about it.

This is more valuable than individual news, so it will cause a lot of response.

What's more, there were two people who testified with the same framed photo. They had noses and eyes, and some of them caught the "addictiveness".

On the Internet, when there was a whistling, the editorial team of the "New York Daily", which bought the first-hand consultation, almost laughed into convulsions-this level of revelation has a great effect on the promotion of newspaper sales. While making money, Fame and fortune are both, how could it be unhappy and even add to the flames.

"Look, Cameron smiled, indicating that the two of them are talking very happy."

"It won't be Lyman and Cameron teaming up to make a movie, it would be too much to look forward to-two of my favorite directors."

"How can they cooperate. The director is like a tiger in the Megatron Mountains and forests, always walking alone."

"Could it be investment or something? As everyone knows, Lehman's Firefly Pictures has done well."

"It's all random guesses, can't it be two friends eating together?"

The people who eat melons eat good melons, but they have to force Joseph, the president of Firefly Pictures, to come forward and clarify in person. After all, the heat of "The Mist" has been suppressed, and there are quite a few kinds of shooting themselves in the foot.

In addition, Cameron does not want to expose that he is preparing new projects and experimental technologies, so Firefly Pictures needs to disclose what they talked about to alleviate the curiosity of the audience.

It was also for this reason that Cameron even quickly drafted a contract to transfer shares in the digital field to Lehman - the power of gossip was so great that even Cameron was reluctant to get involved.

Even if there are only a few joking photos, it can be full of associations.

In the Internet age, all feedbacks are so fast, and the authenticity of news has been unrestrictedly weakened-everyone has become a free media person, speaking freely on the Internet, even if it is just "seeing pictures", but These talents can interpret the infinite story of One Thousand and One Nights.

If it is not contained, this meeting may become strange news at some point.

This can't help but make people want to swear swearing-public figures have taken a big step forward on the road of being sacrificed in all aspects of their personal lives.

In the future, not only need to watch out for paparazzi, but also need to watch out for passers-by?

After all, the passerby might take out his phone and edit a message to go online.

After that, all of them were realized one by one.

For this reason, countless celebrities have been victimized-in the past, only public relations newspapers were needed to block some unnecessary black materials, but now they have all been torn apart.

There is even a good saying, "Those once glorious celebrities have perfect images that people just want to admire, just because they haven't been baptized in the Internet age, otherwise, who is uglier than who is not necessarily."

...

"So, they are only talking about the digital field, that special effects company?"

"Yes, Cameron is not going to collaborate on new projects, he is still experimenting with documentaries..."

Rupert Murdoch glanced at his wife and casually explained, "It seems that Firefly Pictures' investment in the digital field is a foregone conclusion."

"Oh, Firefly Pictures? That's the movie company you are looking to acquire." Wendi Deng asked concerned.

"It's not that I want to buy, but Shirley Lansing really wants to buy, but I can't find a chance to intervene. In fact, I am more optimistic about the acquisition of DreamWorks. But now that I think about it, Firefly is not so worthless." Mo Doc sighed.

Last year, Paramount’s annual financial report once again bottomed out, which is hardly a glorious one.

In response, he even had the idea of ​​replacing Paramount with a helmsman.

But looking at Shirley Lansing's contribution to maintaining the overall situation in the past few years, some setbacks can be endured.

If after the merger of DreamWorks, Paramount's performance has not improved, this is the last opportunity to make up for it.

To be honest, when Shirley Lansing mentioned Firefly Pictures in the first two years, he didn't care at all, and he did not expect to grow so fast-otherwise, he would try to acquire Firefly, not necessarily win over DreamWorks. .

As for Murdoch, he has always focused on the TV field for 20th Century Fox, but he does not want Paramount's high-quality asset to become a drag on the group.

After all, for his News Corporation, the best monetization channel and the most suitable link with entertainment resources are in the TV field, and he has more than a dozen TV stations under his umbrella.

Which one is heavier and lighter is clear at a glance.

Judging from the current results, his strategy is correct. Fox Television Network successfully broke through the blockade of the three established television networks because of his resource tilt.

Correspondingly, Paramount, who had not received much parent company care, quickly became weak, and already needed to introduce external support to the embarrassing situation.

At this level of the game, for Wendi Deng, it is not the scope of her concern.

Her strong husband and her marriage were not strong, and she herself had ambitions-Murdoch knew it, but he didn't care.He never believes in true love. After all, a 36-year-old and a close-to-74-year-old cannot be true love.

A leader of the Murdoch Group with personal assets of more than 10 billion, net assets of more than 40 billion, and a media empire worth more than 100 billion does not need love.

And hearing her husband's optimism about Firefly Pictures, Wendi Deng thoughtfully...

After Wendi Deng left, Murdoch suddenly called again and confided a little opinion to his subordinate Shirley Lansing.

The concentration of resources is certainly still on cable TV, broadband and consulting services, but for Paramount, since Firefly Pictures has its own North American distribution network, it has entered a new circle, so that it may have to promote the two parties The film and television cooperation between China-even at the expense of Shirley Lansing's majesty, the relationship must be repaired.

Compared with money, status, resources, etc., the face is not worth mentioning.

Even if Paramount was the former partner who helped Lyman gain a foothold in Hollywood and then the collaboration broke down...
