Hollywood legendary director

As soon as the champagne opened, the celebration party officially began.

After Liam and other executives of Blue Butterfly Pictures greeted Lehman, they walked into the crowd to discuss relations and cooperation.

As a distribution company that already has a foothold, it is still tempting for these independent filmmakers.

At the scene, the gathering hall that accommodates hundreds of people is in order, each with its own topic to talk about.

"Looking at how beautiful they are, do you think we have a chance to cooperate with him?"

In the corner of the banquet hall, two independent filmmakers were talking there, one of whom had never seen Lehman.

"There should be a chance." Companion replied: "Firefly Pictures has a North American distribution channel, and there is still a great demand for film sources."

"Hey, I hope I can always sell at the box office like him."

"Just think about it..." The companion shook his head, got rid of these unrealistic thoughts, and suddenly said with some regret: "Lyman is really popular, you see, the eyes of the actresses are going to be glued. She doesn't shy away from having a female companion."

When they were talking, Lyman was a little embarrassed.

He felt that as soon as he entered the banquet hall, several eyes were instantly focused.

He also knows that as a director, or a box office director, he should be welcomed, after all, he himself represents opportunity.

But this is too fair, right?

Yes, a wavy hair with an oval face, like a princess Anne Hathaway in front of Eva, running over to strike up a conversation...

"Director Lyman, last time I said goodbye, I only have a chance to meet you now. Congratulations, the movie is selling well."

Lehman thought to himself, when I met you, Li Jiao was filming Brokeback Mountain. When I went to visit, Ye Di, you said it felt like we had an adulterous relationship.

"Thank you……"

To be courteous, Anne Hathaway took the initiative to leave again-inexplicably.

But as soon as she turned her head, Eva leaned tighter. Although she didn't say it clearly, her actions had already betrayed her-what jealousy she was eating.

Even if Lyman wanted to hunt for beauty, he would not choose Anne Hathaway—beauty is beautiful, but it's too scheming...

With the first person to strike up a conversation, there will be a second and a third.

Some invited to dance, some talked about a drink, some suggested cooperation, and hoped to join Firefly Pictures...

In short, the politeness and politeness should be dismissed, and then Liam brought a few well-talked producers over and said to get to know him.

In this way, it took more than an hour to usher in and then slowly begin to clean up.

Only when she refused the few last actresses who boldly stepped forward and directly handed over her room card, Lehman had the opportunity to rest on the side chair.

But after a short rest, there was a commotion in the banquet hall...

"Why did Shirley Lansing come?"

"Why did Paramount's head family run here? Could it be..."

"Didn't it mean that Lyman's relationship with her is froze?"

The appearance of Shirley Lansing immediately made the scene lively again.

Guessing, skeptical, associative...

For a while, even Liam came over and asked: "Boss, why did she come in person?"-This meant that she came here. Did you personally invite it.

But Lehman was also confused. He was convinced that the company had completely cut off relations with Paramount and had not dealt with it in the past year.

However, since they are here, welcome.

Ever since, Lyman took Liam to greet him quickly.

After a greeting, Shirley said, "Can you find a quiet place to chat?"

"Okay, please follow me."

Lyman greeted her all the way into the cubicle, still wondering why this old woman came.

But I don't want to, Shirley Lansing is also a little depressed about this.

She came in person on this trip, and it was the order of the chairman of the parent company Sumner Redstone-the Viacom Group and Murdoch News Group, behind Redstone, hold each other's shares.

Rupert has always wanted to make his studios an excellent content provider, so that his media empire can be linked together and maximize profits.

Among them, Fox TV is very impressive. In ten years, it spent more than 2 billion to buy TV stations in the UK, France and other regions. Together with its own TV network in North America, it has become the fourth largest TV multimedia group in the world. Including broadband services and telecommunications charges are thriving, but this guy is not good at film and television content, but is very good at newspapers. The gossip media such as The Sun and The Guardian are all under his.

But although his emphasis is different, he has always been thinking about the production of film and television content. After all, the media empire needs film and television performance as the foundation.

However, the performance of the studios has been sluggish in the past two years. After Lehman did not cooperate with Paramount, he continued to reap high-selling movies at the box office. He even had a hand in filming TV series, which was in full compliance with Rupert's requirements for film and television.

Then, Shirley Lansing came...

Even if the prestige of the company is swept away, it will come.

It is really that Paramount's financial situation has fallen ugly, and it needs a big-selling movie to pull back its decline.

After the two were seated, Shirley smiled and said, "Congratulations, the box office of "The Mist" is very successful."

"Haha, thank you."-I don't know how many people have said this, and Lehman didn't hear anything.

"When I first started filming "Furious", I knew you were a director with great potential..."

"Ms. Shirley, you are so polite. The success of a movie is everyone's credit, not just the production."

The two recalled the past, and after a lot of things, Lehman realized that they were here to seek cooperation. Anyway, Ramon has channels and Firefly Pictures has the production ability. Only the Warner family will publish it, and they also have it. Project development will inevitably lead to conflicts.

When you talk about the schedule conflict, whose interests are you sacrificing?

Well, I have to admit that Shirley's reason is indeed thinking from the standpoint of Lyman.

The dilemma that Blue Butterfly Pictures does not have publicity resources can not be solved in a year or two. The low cost of distribution is very uneconomical in terms of investment. If it is not for the future layout, there is no need to sacrifice the interests of the film, and the first-line masterpiece is far It is more propaganda than low-cost movies. Blue Butterfly Pictures can't afford this kind of publicity pressure at all. After all, it still scores the cake for others.

But why is Paramount?

Even if Warner doesn't work, isn't there still Universal and Twentieth Century Fox?

Then, Shirley Lansing said that Paramount’s project development volume is far from enough, and it can tilt the most resources, which is a big advantage;

And we have cooperated and are more familiar with each other, which is the second advantage;

There is also Paramount's willingness to make concessions. In terms of publicity, offline channels can allow Blue Butterfly Pictures to participate. This kind of concession is the third advantage...
