Hollywood legendary director

In the spacious office, Lehman didn't notice Tony Gilroy's anxiety, but carefully looked down at the draft of the script, wondering whether the style was appropriate.

As I watched it, I asked. It was only after more than half an hour that Lyman looked up and said: "Director Gilroy, I will recommend you to Ms. Shirley. I have to say that you are well prepared. This is you. Work hard to give a little reward, but it will take a while for success or failure."

After the conversation, regardless of how Tony would feel about the meeting, Lehman just turned around and picked up the phone, and roughly communicated his thoughts on the two interviews with Shirley Lansing.

There is no doubt that Tony is more inclined to be the project director.

Ratner may be fine, but after all, the impression is not good, so there is no need to strongly recommend it.

And Shirley Lansing, of course, would not reject the candidates Lehman suggested.

As the production executive of Paramount said, Shirley Lansing is not very skilled in the director and production business, so why not listen to Lehman?

After all, no matter from which point of view, Lyman has been proven.

After hanging up the phone, Lehmann smiled at Tony, "Happy cooperation."

Tony's back bends involuntarily, his whole body relaxes, and his face also shows unconcealable excitement, but he still has reason. Although he understands that Lehman said so, it is basically equivalent to handing over the movie to him, but Lehman still The producer of the project easily crushed him in terms of status, qualifications, and even the right to speak of the crew, so he quickly stated: "Mr. Rust, I promise to shoot with all my heart, and not delay any of your plans." --- To the effect, I will listen to you.

Lehman naturally understands this. After all, he can't recommend a director who doesn't deal with him or doesn't listen to suggestions and likes to adulterate private goods. Isn't the original director Doug Liman abandoned because of this.

Tony could think so, of course, it couldn't be better. He is indeed a smart man. No wonder he was able to work with Universal to take over the whole thing about "The Bourne".

You know, even if "The Bourne Duty" changes the leading role, the risk increases, but no matter how much it is, it will be a sequel to a big seller. This opportunity is hardly obtained by a failed director.

In that case, Lyman nodded and said, "Do you have any candidates for the cast of "The Smiths"?"

Tony thought Lehman was still testing himself, and he said, "No, it's all up to you to choose."-Choosing an actor is the power of the producer. Furthermore, even if Lehman doesn't interfere, Pella Meng will definitely intervene too, and he will be a little director in any round.

And if he can really choose, he will definitely become a great director, or the one with a certain degree of qualifications, then it goes without saying, just report his name?

However, Lehman told him to participate in the audition screening. When the time comes, he will pass the list and evaluation together, giving him a little bit of power to speak.

After all, Lehman recognizes a crew very much, and the director’s participation cannot be low, otherwise there will be no authority at all. How can the crew cooperate with the filming?

In this way, after Tony received Lehman's support, he almost couldn't suppress his happy mood. If he wanted to vent, he had better share the joy with his friends in the circle.

"Mr. Luster, thank you for your help, please rest assured, I will make a work that will satisfy you."

Seeing that the middle-aged man in front of him is so knowledgeable, Lehman thought: Even if he does not have extraordinary talents in directing, he might be able to get him into the co-director studio system of Firefly Pictures. He is willing to be obedient. Of course, his directing ability is a bit short, but his screenwriting is very good, and it is not without cultivation value.

Of course, all of this will have to wait until the "Smiths" project development is not wrong, it must be smooth, with Lehman's help in everything, and if it is still two knives, then forget it.

"Then, I'll take you to discuss the director contract with Paramount. After signing the contract, you will start to promote the project preparation work. I hope this project can catch up with this year's Christmas file."

"Uh, uh." Tony nodded unceasingly.

Later, Tony soon became the project director of "Smiths" under the affirmation of Paramount and Firefly.

And Tony had no objection to the basic salary of 3 million US dollars and some encouraging box office bonuses in the contract, and he signed it without thinking.

As for the box office share?Will not mention it.

What to fight for and what not to fight for, Tony felt like Der Spiegel.

He has been in Hollywood for more than two decades, and his mastery is the foundation of his life.

Anyway, as long as "Smiths" can succeed, he can completely get rid of the previous difficulties and enter a brand new life.

Regardless of the fact that Hollywood is the most fame and fortune place, countless unknown little actors, screenwriters, and directors will suddenly rise because of the success of a certain movie, gaining money, status, and even the love of movie fans and the pursuit of various capitals.

But in fact, this is only a small probability event after all. One out of a hundred thousand people is considered awesome, and to a large extent it takes some luck.

Without the support of noble people, most of the practitioners are struggling with qualifications and sinking in circles one after another-the last-rate actors have the last-rate actors, and the third-rate actors are in different circles. On top, second-rate, first-rate superstars , Superstar, which is not a huge threshold.

Resources have always been allocated from top to bottom. Take the screenwriting industry as an example.

Many studios want to adapt screenplays or start new projects. They are in charge of veteran screenwriters who have already succeeded. Newcomers can only rely on these big and small hills and may get a job opportunity.

Even if the industry's top screenwriters want to break into the director circle or the production circle, they will inevitably break one barrier after another. Even if they break, they still have to polish their qualifications and look forward to slowly climbing up.

The whole process highlights a difficult and not easy one.

Therefore, the biggest shortcut here is either there are people on the top or the son of God. With invincible luck and good luck, picking up any item can hit the box office.

And this kind of person, once successful, may not continue to continue, slowly, may give up struggling, just like a flash in the pan, leaving a mark in Hollywood.

On March 20, while the "Smiths" project was still advancing steadily, "Million Dollar Baby" was officially completed, with a global box office total of more than 120 million, more than 10 million more than the original. Perhaps it is due to the reputation that Lehman's previous movies have been more popular.

It was also at this time that Blue Butterfly Pictures officially released the second theatrical feature film "Daydreamer"...
