Hollywood legendary director

Cage is too arrogant and doesn't have many friends; Sophia is stronger, and it's more difficult to help after turning around.

What's more, the times have changed, and the new generation has changed for the old.

Francis Coppola thought a little sadly, and then took a deep look at Lyman, his eyes showing some appreciation.

After explaining the intention of the invitation, Lehmann fell into thinking.

He also did not expect that the meeting today would be like this. His own company actually has the potential to become a "win-win", but he did not immediately agree to this kind of "win-win", but only quickly counted the pros and cons in his mind.

Lehman had been reluctantly in all kinds of interpersonal communication, and after mixing for so long, his calm kung fu was obviously developed.

As experienced as Francis, he didn't know what he was hesitating.

However, it is said that Hollywood’s tradition of networking and class separation is really very "American," because from the beginning, this country was a minority of white people ruled by a majority of other ethnic groups. During this period, I don’t know how many things happened.

The government’s indulgence has made class consolidation a useful weapon for stabilizing society. Similarly, ethnic groups that are grouped by blood and the same color have become a major feature of Hollywood.

For example, the Australian gang, Jewish ethnicity, and Italian ethnicity are all common and cannot be ignored.

So, now the question is coming. Lehman suddenly became a new gang that cannot be underestimated with the talents in the eyes of others. It attracted the favor of the Coppola family. After accepting what Lehman needs to pay, or say What will the fireflies give?

Could it be that because of a little uneven distribution of benefits, if you fail to become friends, you become enemies?

Don't regret agreeing again when the time comes.

——After a while, Lehman is thinking more and more.

Therefore, Lyman tentatively asked: "Mr. Coppola, what do you think of Cage?"

"If he wants to go out, let him do it on his own. He will never miss a bite."

"So, what about Miss Sophia?"

"she was......"

Lehman understood.

Cage is already a first-line movie star and doesn't need help from the family.

Then, there is only another candidate left for Francis to cultivate extremely.

After all, Hollywood is ultimately a place where men are the masters. Even if they continue to advocate and support women's independence because of political needs, Hollywood is still not friendly to women.

"Does she have any subject matter she wants to shoot now? Firefly has always invested in such an excellent director."

Francis Coppola admired Lyman more and more, and his reaction was quick enough to be decisive.

In particular, the bargaining chip is settled between calm and quiet, and it has blocked other channels that want to be convenient-"excellent" directors, of course not vote for those who are not good, and Coppola can't come by anyone, and Firefly will give money. Resources.

The exchange of benefits is very particular about reciprocal pay, which is also the principle that Lehman practices.Of course, Sophia is Francis's daughter, so she has to give face.

"If there are any minor problems in the future, Coppola will do his best to help solve them." Francis also said euphemistically.

Then he spit out a smoke ring, and said: "If an excellent movie can't even enter the Oscar, that's a joke."

Lyman laughed, completely relieved.

With this support, what are the thresholds for operating Oscars?What qualifications?

After such a reminder, both of them were satisfied with the price offered by the other party, or that they were very acceptable for the time being. Then after a few gossips, Lehman said before leaving: "This is the case. Mr. Coppola and wait for the news to respond."

Francis waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely not regret it."

The two people left the cigar house one after another. In the courtyard in front, Eva was also chatting with a few people. Seeing Lyman coming out, she stood up and was politely sent off.

At this time, Sophia, who was in the middle serving as a bridge of cooperation, saw Lyman and smiled at him, even if he knew something.

After leaving Coppola Manor, Lehman went directly to the company.

Find Joseph at the office, tell him about the contact with the Coppola family, and then leave.

Lehman still attached great importance to this contact.

You need to ventilate with Joseph in order to avoid any mistakes in the communication.

I drove away, it was around nine o'clock in the evening, and when I entered the house, it was almost half past nine.

Was thinking about drilling Eva's hot bed.

——Lyman has not seen meat for more than half a month, especially Eva went to the crew of "Casino Royale", filmed everywhere, and couldn't go home often.

After washing, after taking a shower, Lehmann, who put on a nightgown, saw Eva sitting halfway on the bedside under the soft light, holding a book to read.

"Do you still have leisure to read?" Lyman leaned over with a smirk, and caught a glimpse of whiteness by chance, breathing quickly.

"Yeah." Eva was still pretending to read, and Lyman had turned over and picked her up, quickly removing the obstacles with his hands and feet.

"call."

Completed the great harmony of life (three thousand words are omitted here.)

......

After getting up the next day, Lyman called Liam over again and asked him to enrich the copyright with the screenwriting department.

This year, Firefly will definitely have to increase its production. You can't shoot five or six copies a year, and you will be fine with the rest.

If you want to improve your strength, the best way is of course to start with your own strengths and project production.

But good projects are not easy to encounter. They all rely on originality, and Lehman doesn't have so many good original stories. Therefore, he can only learn from the mainstream Hollywood model, take the copyright of novels and comics, and then film and television.

However, the slight difference is that Lehman also attaches importance to the original scripts of other screenwriters, and specifically emphasized in this regard, you can find a way to collect any fancy scripts.

And from another aspect, excellent screenwriters are the talents required by film and television companies, which can also increase the project selection space and expand the company's heritage.

Lehman looked at Johnson and Liam, and seriously ordered: "Pay more attention to scripts that have a basic foundation. Both movies and TV series can be included in the contact list first."

The dispatched staff were handed the task of selecting the script of the expansion project, and suddenly realized that selecting the script was also difficult.

The famous ones, the copyright is long gone, and the ones that can be left behind are the die-hards like Frank Miller, who do not prove that they can make good works, and don’t give them at all; the ones that are not famous have too large a base, tens of thousands of copies. Who knows which of the original scripts is suitable for the big screen?

It can only be considered.

However, since my own boss attaches great importance to this aspect, he must not hesitate to screen.

As for whether or not it can be achieved, some people above make up their minds.

Therefore, after the employees are dispersed, there are still gains from the daily list.

But most of it left Lehman unimpressed, and then eliminated.

Anyway, there is no memory, even if there is a mistake or omission, it can also mean that the risk is too great and inappropriate.

"It seems that the company has a big move."

The staff below have quite some ideas about this.

"This time there is definitely no lack of project shots." Someone answered.

Spend such energy, you can't just idle and accidentally entertain.

Anyone who is a little caring can think of Lehman's previous talk of expanding the company's production, and the steady expansion of Blue Butterfly Pictures and the digital field within their respective business areas.

In short, Mann Media has been able to eat more production business.

And just as a group of people collected the scripts, the editing of "Old Nowhere" was completed.

In fact, most of the post-production workload of "Old Nowhere" is in the editing process.

After all, this film does not use special effects technology, it is all set-up or live shooting. Once the editing is completed, the subsequent work is much easier.

Inserting the narration, the soundtrack, the opening and ending credits, and the company logo, plus the help of Thomas and Ryan, make these tasks easier.

Then, in April, "Prada" began to be painted overseas.

At this time, the total box office of the film reached 350 million, allowing all stakeholders to have a large sum of money.

Twentieth Century Fox originally held a high confidence quotation that was greater overseas than in North America. The fact is, as they predicted, movies of this kind of subject matter will not be inconsistent at all, so that audiences in other countries cannot accept it.

Moreover, this is only at the box office. Liam is already ready to wait until the film is drawn and release the DVD immediately. Even Blockbuster has already discussed how to promote it.

Although it takes a long time to recover funds offline, there will be a fixed income in the next two to three years.
