Hollywood legendary director

Lyman is really funny.

The reason for laughter is the general trend of the times, why is it so accidental?

Yes, Lehman is very familiar with this script.

It was also the first blockbuster film received by the previous life Eva stepped into Hollywood, and almost ruined the stardom, and was silent for several years afterwards.

It can be said that this is also the ambition of 20th Century Fox aiming at this year's summer vacation. It has high hopes and the production team is quite strong-the investment budget is as high as 130 million U.S. dollars, and it is the first-class investment even in Hollywood, which is crowded with large films.

And the script is based on the true story of the Crusade to defend Jerusalem in 1187. It can be said to be a household name in Europe and the United States, and naturally has an adaptation effect;

The behind-the-scenes team has been preparing for this for three months, using hundreds of props and costume personnel to participate in the design. In order to truly restore history, horses and group performance troops have already begun training, and they have also established a large area in Morocco. On location……

In addition, the director is Ridley Scott, who only used "Gladiator"-the same ancient epic theme, fame and fortune, and was nominated for an Oscar for best director. Moreover, he The "Alien" series is also a box office guarantee, very good at shooting big scenes, no matter how you look at it, it is also the most suitable director candidate.

In terms of actors, Jeremy Irons, Liam Neeson, Orlando Bloom, Edward Norton... you must have acting skills, flow and flow, and reasonable distribution.

Finally, there are veterans in the industry, such as Simon Atherton, Gentiy Yates, who acted as assistant directors to assist in the check-everyone on this team feels very confident.

There is no doubt that the 20th Century Fox thinks the same way, otherwise it would not be so big, and I am sure that the investment is so high and it will be profitable.

It’s a pity...it’s a miserable loss. All the film crews suffered a big loss. The director Ridley Scott went directly from the first-line directors, everyone was vying for it, and he had to rely on his own money to stand up. It can be seen how unreliable this project is. Spectrum.

Therefore, Lehman only has some Coke now, after all, the previous life Eva took the scene, and now she is so mixed up, how can she turn her head around?

But it was unexpected. The role of the heroine was originally suggested by Ridley. He said that after seeing her performance, she felt it was suitable and the image was very suitable. As for the investor, 20th Century Fox, of course, he would not refuse---I did it all. A lot of money, afraid that you can't afford an actor?Furthermore, the more appealing the actor, the more risk he can reduce, so the film contract was sent.

"Why, what are you laughing at?" Eva curiously asked: "I think this role is not bad. There are many scenes. Fox also offered a very sincere remuneration, which is more than 9 million yuan..."

Old God Lehman sat comfortably in the chair, listening to the little excitement revealed by Eva, and remembering that this movie would be really suitable to play if it is not lost.

Just like Ridley's invitation, Eva has a very classical charm, and playing with a group of old dramas can also increase her performance.

However, this is a pit.

I don’t know how dirty it was when shooting this movie...

Lehman put away the script and suddenly got serious, "Reject it, it's very risky."

"Huh?" Eva couldn't believe it.

According to her team's analysis, the box office is quite guaranteed.

"Ridley is going to overturn this time." Lyman said with emotion.

Ancient epic?

One is considered one. No matter how big the investment or the lineup is, it naturally carries a three-point risk, because the facts will prove that not many viewers will be satisfied with this theme.

However, Eva heard Lehmann say this, and Xiao Xiao fought for a bit, "Is it really not?"

"If it’s just for the role, I suggest you pick it up. It’s good for you to partner with an actor like Edward Norton. But I have to say in advance that this movie will lose money to a large extent, compared with last year’s Troy. It can be seen that the audience is not buying any epic themes. Of course, Fox sincerely invites and offers high-priced remunerations. Few actresses in Hollywood are willing to refuse, but you have to know that this is your market value step by step. Only you can experience the pain and suffering in the middle. Once you fail and go back to the past, are you willing to gamble?"

Eva shook her head.

"Hollywood has many examples. Even if I am a director, I have to be careful not to fail."

"Well, I will let the assistant decline it."

"You can think so, of course the best."

...

As time entered March, while "The Mist" was still gaining box office overseas, it was officially released in North America.

As the biggest winner of the February schedule, although "The Mist" received excessive spending on the announcement, it only received 212.65 million US dollars from North America. Compared with the investment, the box office is only a small profit, plus overseas, even the profit is insufficient. 20000000.

However, the success is that Blue Butterfly Pictures has taken the first step to open up the channel of theatrical line, and it is an instant success-this is enough, it was originally a victim, and it was very satisfying to make a profit for Lehman.

On March 10th, Lehman and Blue Butterfly Pictures are preparing to host a celebration banquet.

A movie with a good box office like "The Mist" cannot be justified unless it is held.

Lyman only drove Eva to the hotel parking lot, only to be surrounded by a group of paparazzi.

Hilton's security guards are also great, and they are very responsible for guarding the way, but no matter how the paparazzi do not eat this set, they still shouted:

"Mr. Luster, do you have a new filming plan? Can you reveal a little."

"Miss Eva, I heard that you rejected Fox's invitation. What special reason prompted you to make this decision?"

"Director Lyman, what's your comment on the recent masterpieces?"

"Miss Eva, Miss Eva..."

Most of the questions asked by these paparazzi are malicious and full of traps. If they accidentally answer the conversation, they may be taken out of context.

Therefore, Lyman and Eva ignored them at all, and had to hide into the banquet hall in an almost embarrassed manner under the protection of the security guard.

These uncrowned kings are really difficult to deal with, one is better than the other.

The Hilton hotel manager stood at the door and smiled and said, "Two, the celebration is on the third floor, please."

He waved and took the initiative to lead the way.

In other words, many people were invited to this celebration party, but most of them were independent filmmakers or producers with good connections in the circle.

After all, after Blue Butterfly Pictures has the ability to distribute in North America, it also needs to deal with these people, or cooperate, or win, all for the very basic film source problem.

So, this is actually a social cocktail party, which Liam uses to get closer to people. No, it happens that "The Mist" is off the stage. With this solid performance as a guarantee, people who are interested in Blue Butterfly Pictures There are also many...
