Hollywood legendary director

The great prospect of "Prada" lies there, and some obstacles are easily overcome.

In the office of the chairman of the Firefly headquarters building, Joseph walked in happily until he sat down on the sofa opposite Lehman.

Two people have arrived in the office at this time, Ryan and Liam are here.

Naturally, they gathered together to discuss the follow-up measures for this small storm.

You know, I still remember the inexplicable slander and the default of project profits.

Although it’s not wise to spend money and bring rhythm because of the explosion of "Prada", the six major suppressions are still there.

"Ryan, can you talk about the latest situation first?" Lyman asked.

"Paramount and Warner have ceased their hands. As for the profit arrears, it is a small trouble. For something interesting, both HBO and WB TV stations want to promote continued cooperation."

"Well, it should be. The filth among the studios has spread to the TV station. Presumably they don't want to see it either." Liam said with some amusement.

"Don't let go and see the follow-up action. This is just a dispute of interest, we have not done too much." Lehman frowned and said: "How about Lion Gate and Mubao?"

Liam took out a document and said: "According to the theater online seat rate and box office trend in the past few days, "Prada" will be in a steady decline in the remaining two weeks. Two weeks later, the screen The number is further reduced, and there is no need for joint announcements. When the time comes, the accounts will be clear. In terms of the film's profit initially calculated by the financial staff we entrusted, the two of them can take about 23 million North American box office in this cooperation. The revenue is more than 17 million in offline peripherals."

"It's not bad. Although they have made a lot of profits, it is better than having a great dependence on the Big Six. In short, after the movie is down, the income is settled immediately. Then, the matter here is left to You guys, the crew of "Old Nowhere" in New Mexico is still waiting for me."

......

The competition between the Big Six and the fireflies has not risen to a very serious degree.

Paramount and Warner saw the excellent market performance after the release of "Prada", and they did not waste their efforts.

You know, their essence still wants to "coexist peacefully and win-win cooperation" with the fireflies. After all, with so many studios, as long as they don't infringe on the six core interests, no one wants to kill chickens and get eggs and wantonly suppress them.

On the other hand, the six major factions do have too many internal factions, and there are no foreign enemies, so they will fight first, not to mention a media group, which is not only based on the business produced by the studio.

As a small counterattack, Joseph slightly revealed that the filming of "Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead" might be delayed, and the two TV stations immediately couldn't sit still.

After all, if you haven't tasted the benefits of these two projects, it's fine. Anyway, you can't get it. It's good to watch the excitement.

But the problem is that this kind of thing happened to me. Seeing that the mining of a gold mine will be delayed by inexplicable fighting, the TV station and the studio have no affiliation, and of course it cannot be accepted.

After making many calls in a row, the high-level of the TV station who was forced to directly pressure the board of directors on behalf of the shareholders’ interests, begged not to mess around. Isn’t it good for everyone to make money together?

That’s not the case, but it’s what it means. Anyway, you have to guarantee the interests of the TV station, and let it rectify the relationship of Firefly. If you can’t directly intervene in the operation, don’t play any warning scenes, happy. Quickly settle the project arrears owed to Firefly and release goodwill.

Anyway, at this level, Warner and Paramount didn't really tear up their faces with Firefly, nor did they admit that they took part in this storm. After considering each other, they realized that this time it was not the ultimate goal.

——The current fireflies are no longer the fireflies they used to be. The ability to resist risks has greatly increased, not to mention that the big net formed by the exchange of interests has already reached the point and affects the whole body. If you want to suppress, you must first think about whether it is worth the loss. A gold mine.

In fact, if "Prada" did not achieve such results, and the joint announcement of the alliance failed, the Sixth National Congress still has the opportunity to let Lehman bow his head.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Joseph was very able to adapt to this kind of commercialism, and when Warner became loose, he immediately said that the cooperation was happy.

The whole thing, once you fail to follow the established goals, then giving up halfway is a very sensible choice.

"Prison Break" has finished the second season and is preparing to broadcast the third season. "The Walking Dead" has just finished the second season and the third season has not yet been filmed, but for Warner as a whole, these two projects have become the signature projects. The production not only brought huge profits, but the value of its binding to paying users was what HBO liked most.

The benefits of a hit drama can’t be viewed as a simple viewing profit, just like the huge blessing of "Friends" to nbc.

Therefore, it is a completely foreseeable unanimous interest between Lehman and HBO. The Firefly also knows that Warner will not give up the 50-60 million or even the TV series that cultivates the number of users every year for a little schedule dispute.

With more people and more voices, the courage is naturally lessened.

Among the Big Six, Warner and Firefly have the deepest interest entanglement. Therefore, it is reasonable that the breakthrough point will be at Warner.

And once someone has the idea of ​​compromise and is in the same hatred, will this kind of foundation still exist?

Warner compromised, and Paramount did the same.

Coupled with the smooth release of "Prada", even if they persist for a period of time, the fireflies will not be suppressed to the point of exhaustion.

The situation is like this, and it is not a huge contradiction between life and death that is irreconcilable. Why bother to try?

Smart people are almost instinct to judge the situation.

In Paramount's chairman's office, Shirley Lansing was a little depressed so that his staff no longer embarrass the Firefly, continue to maintain the profit sharing, and don't default on the payment.

——Everything stops.

......

The screening of "Prada" entered the third week, and the heat of the Valentine's Day schedule disappeared unknowingly, and the North American film market became even more deserted.

Except for "Prada", there has not been a North American film that has broken billions in the same period.

The momentum is slightly better. The comedy film "Pink Panther" starring Kevin Slane and Steve Martin has won 51.07 million box office in 20 days, and "Death is Coming 3" North America has a total of 35.27 million, basically both Advance in accordance with the expected goals of the major film companies.

Of course, this expectation does not include North America's over 100 million yuan.

Compared to their costs, they are all profitable, and they are completely worthy of the resources they have obtained-provided that they are not compared with "Prada".

When Lyman broke 100 million in "Prada" in North America and continued to struggle toward the box office of 150 million, he did not continue to invest too much attention. Instead, he focused his attention on filming most of the scenes and needed the finale of "Old Nowhere". Crew.

Things ended smoothly, and the temptations of Warner and Paramount didn't play a big role, and as long as they didn't make the move first, Lehman couldn't take the initiative to provoke them—after all, they couldn't fight it, so it would be fine for each other to give in.

At the same time, on the last day of the filming plan, the crew of "Old Nowhere" came to a small town in New Mexico.

After filming the killing scenes in the previous few days, the progress of the progress came to an end.

At the intersection of the town.

The killer Anton drove the car with his belongings on the co-pilot, waiting for the traffic lights with interest.

This is the first time he actively abides by the secular rules, but he has not reaped good results.

The design of this scene is quite ironic, and it is also the famous scene of Anton.

In the past, he was lawless, and things went smoothly. Now, occasionally, waiting for the green light to pass the intersection with pleasure, he was hit hard by the red-lighted car coming from the sideways.

Anton was beaten to the head and his eyes were blank.

He didn't even know what just happened.

Fortunately, Javier Baden is in very good shape, and this reversal shot has passed once.

After packing up the shooting set and having a finale, Lyman returned to Los Angeles with the crew.

At this moment, the selection of Oscars is the news topic of the most concern to the media.

Everyone on the shortlist came out with all kinds of competitive methods, which brought another farce to American fans.
