Hollywood legendary director

During this time, Wen Ziren took some of the main creations of "Dead Silence" to promote in batches among European countries.

On the other hand, Nolan also came back from England, and discussed with his brother Jonathan all day about the script of "Fatal Magic", deletes, changes, and changes.

After that, the top was busy with "Pan's Labyrinth", Johnson and Eva had also agreed with Lauren Weissberg, the author of "The Devil Wearing Prada", and bought the copyright back from Fox. After spending 5 million, Fox also earned 3 million US dollars.

Of course, after the movie is released, Fox will regret it or maybe.

But film is also a business. You can celebrate if you make money, and you have to accept your fate if you are scammed. Anyway, Fox has not developed the project himself. It is completely unnecessary to discuss copyright ownership later.

After the copyright of "Prada" is taken back, Green Pictures will re-sign an adaptation contract with Lauren.

With Eva's current strength, of course, it is impossible to invest in the project. Firstly, there is no one; secondly, there is no way. Of course, the joint production of Firefly Pictures and Green Pictures is required, which serves the purpose of diverting attention.

And in this way, it can be regarded as invisibly weakening the strength of Fox Pictures.

After all, according to the benign development of Mann Media, sooner or later, it will face the six major competitions, so Fox, who has never exchanged "interests", is obviously the enemy of the group.

"Hi, Lehman, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Lauren, the author of the novel, and this is her lawyer and agent Nodley."

Johnson took the lead in introducing both parties.

"Hello, Lauren." Lyman greeted him by extending his hand.

Lauren Weissberg stood up nervously, and after shaking hands with Lehmann, he fainted with excitement when he saw the big director smiling in front of him.

In fact, she really realized at this moment that the joint action with Johnson in the past few days is really going to be made into a movie-my book is going to Hollywood.

Lyman Rast, one of the most famous directors today, the pride of the French, and he actually took a fancy to my novel.This is Lauren's idea.

And this one is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There may be excitement, but he still values ​​his own interests more.

You know, this lady has prevented Fox from casting a cast. At that time, the director was not standing, but when the script of "Prada" was handed over to Natalie Portman, she clearly expressed her disapproval and thought her The image is not enough to play "self"-the whole book is made from the author's perspective.

But in fact, Lauren herself is not good-looking, let alone compare with Natalie, maybe it is not this book, she would not even have the chance to enter Hollywood.

But this is enough to reflect her pickiness and possible trouble with the production-Lehman hates non-professionals' interference in production.

After some greetings, Lehman politely stated that he liked the novel, but in fact, if it were not for negotiation, he had not been able to read it completely.

Because after collecting this person's information, Lehman understood why Peter Heggis would withdraw from the adaptation and refuse to take over the project.

Combined with the description in the book, the heroine is innocent in youthfulness, but she is not arrogant, has a sense of responsibility, and works hard after graduating from a prestigious school-but Lauren herself has a small mind. Enter the most influential magazine "vogue" in the fashion circle.

But she was not as positive as the description in the book. Instead, because she could not stand the pressure of the work intensity and the pressure of the career, she took the initiative to switch to another magazine, and turned her back and disgusted her boss. The "demon" in this book is Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "vogue" in reality, is discredited and rhythmic.

If Lehman tells him, it’s nothing more than secretly complaining to his boss. He also writes a novel about Mary Su’s bloody plot, venting his anger and selling other people’s privacy, adding how "stupid and sweet" he is, implying his boss, and spending. The boss is a "tyrant".

The real purpose is apart from disgusting the other party and accidentally making money. What's the deeper intention?

Whether it is East or West, this kind of backhanding and profiting from the privacy of others will not make people feel good.

After learning everything, Lyman was also defeated by Lauren's shamelessness. No wonder you look down upon Natalie. It turns out that you are not clean.

But things have come to this point. Lehman just wants to put aside this stuff quickly and shoot the original version so that the role of Anna Wintour will become a career-oriented strong woman, that is, a "queen", not an incapable one. Tolerant and treat the harsh "demons" of subordinates.

Fortunately, the scriptwriters and directors of the original movie still have IQs. They have to set the characters in the book as they are, and they are mixed with the author's private goods and evil thoughts. It is estimated that this movie will not be so popular.

Back to the topic, Lauren was obviously more convinced after Lehman stated that he would fulfill the contract and make a movie.

Especially after comparing Fox's procrastination and perfunctory.

But obviously, her agent is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately began to strive for better conditions for the employer.

"Everyone, in order to ensure the interests of Ms. Lauren, my basic requirement has been told to Mr. Johnson. The copyright proceeds must have a copy of the original author, and it is impossible to sell it."

Lehman smiled and said, "Of course, since it is a cooperative relationship, I will naturally not embezzle the author's part."

Lauren interrupted: "Can I be on the scene? Fox promised me a character with a face."

Lehman smiled and said, "Do you have to show your face? This is actually unnecessary."

"No, it is necessary. I have never been in contact with film production." Lauren firmly said: "I don't have to pay for it."

Oh, is this a reward?

You are an incompetent newcomer, and you will die for a few thousand dollars, but after Lehman knows what this guy is, he doesn't want to give her the right to participate-just to satisfy a little vanity, it may affect tens of millions of dollars. The project, who do you think you, Tom Cruise dare not give out the role casually, okay?

"I'll talk about it again." Lyman frowned slightly, perfunctorily.

The agent Nordley took out the first draft of the contract and continued: "Then, there are still some details that need to be discussed, such as Ms. Lauren's affirmation in the casting, and..."

"Does this all mean you?" Lyman still had a smile on his face, but he became obviously impatient.

What's more, you obviously want to interfere in film and television production as a writer of Marisu's novels.

Do you know how to write scripts?Do you understand audience market analysis?Do you know budget making?What do you know is to compromise and give up?

You don't know anything, you are a pure layman, but you want to have such a big say. It's no wonder that Director Peter is disgusted, and it's no wonder that Fox just let it go.

This stuff is really nosy!
