Hollywood legendary director

When Blake heard it, his plan for this purpose became clearer.

According to Lehman, coupled with the format problems inherent in the script itself, it is estimated that the cost of a single episode will not exceed 450,000, which is a relatively low-cost series.

Moreover, although many luxury sponsorships are not available, you can still find a suitable brand.

Blake thought of the RV that appeared in the script, and said casually: "For the du-made vehicle, you can ask Ford to discuss the implantation plan, and it should be able to pull one or two million. With other fragmentary sponsorships, one will be recovered. A half investment should be feasible."

"Well, if it's appropriate, I don't object to giving some convenience, close-up shots can also be given, and you can be responsible for these."

Anyway, it is a small matter to make a TV series and occasionally waste a few seconds of footage for advertising, Lehman affirmed.

Afterwards, Black went to prepare for the sponsorship action of "Breaking Bad" and build a cooperative filming team.

In this case, what is worse is a director with good ability to perform the filming work. In this regard, we need to screen carefully.

After all, several of Firefly’s co-directors are either working on projects, or their personal styles are too strong, not suitable for slightly realistic themes, and need to be found from outside.

But this matter is not troublesome. Hollywood does not lack directors, and there is enough room for selection.

Putting the matter down, Lehman gathered his work for a while, gave a simple advice on how to deal with it, and stood up and walked out.

In the editing room, the final version of "Old Nowhere" has been finalized. The length of the feature film is about 105 minutes, which is slightly more compact than the original work of the same name. On the side, Ryan and Thomas teased that they were tired physically and mentally and were going on vacation.

Lehman also found it funny. When the two got together, it felt that weird buff was added, which was not at all the usual serious attitude.

Thinking back to the content of this edition just now, the overall feeling is very good, Lehman himself is quite satisfied.

It's good to shoot that style of lawless temperament.

As for the box office, who knows.

Anyway, it will never be more popular with the public than commercial movies, because this movie requires patience to watch. It is not as cool as it is, and of course it will not be a gold-sucking weapon at the box office.

However, Lehman didn't rush to the market at first, he just wanted to make such a movie.

Out of the company, drive home.

On the way, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This year Firefly has plans for six movie projects and one TV series, which can catch up with nearly half of the project output of large studios.There is a long way to go.

Fortunately, I have made so many capable directors. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such energy and time to produce.

Think about it, if it weren’t for the company’s thriving, so many scripts and producers would not be willing to cooperate-small studios would not even be able to buy the copyright, because you are not well-known, and who is willing to put their own projects Leave it to you?Without distribution, without strong production capabilities, everything is false.

In the evening, Lyman returned to his mansion in Beverly Hills.

From afar, I saw a strange figure chatting with Eva in my living room.

Lehman was puzzled. After approaching, the man turned around when he heard the movement, but she was a tough-looking woman in her thirties.

She wore a very masculine, jeans jacket with short hair, no wonder Lyman didn't notice it for a while.

She stood up and greeted: "Director Lyman, do you remember the last time we met?"

Oh it's you......

Lyman recognized the person who was Francis Coppola's daughter Sofia Coppola.

Be polite and take a seat again.

Sophia looked curiously at the famous director.

She had heard many things about him from his cousin Cage and his father.

The first one is what he said when he invited Cage to shoot "Furious", he should not stop touching similar themes because of a failure in the theme of war. That is because he denies himself.Later, "Furious" sold out, and Cage recovered his career decline.

The second is when filming "Bad Guy". At that time, Lyman was already a cutting-edge director who won the best foreign language figurine and achieved certain results, but he was not too outstanding in Hollywood.Later, "Bad Guy" swept more than 400 million worldwide, saving the qualifications of one of the best selling businesses.

The third one was filming "Million Dollar Baby". At that time, Lehman had become the hottest director in Hollywood with many successes, and became the owner of a film and television company, but he was still willing to make some meaningful movies.Later, after the film won the Palme d’Or, it was nominated for the best Oscar director, but the best film failed one after another. I heard from my father that it was because the organizing committee was deliberately neglected. If you change to a well-connected director, you might get it. At least one will be compensated.But he didn't get it.

Seeing Lehman now, Sophia only feels that he looks more imposing than the last time at home party.

Perhaps she is no longer in the role of a junior. She feels that it is very different from the last time she met. This kind of temperament is unclear. Perhaps this is the so-called temperament of a successful person.Sophia thought.If you put it to your lips, it is a little difficult to say.

According to the tacit agreement between Lyman and Francis, he actually saw Sophia quite pleasing to the eye—a woman who looks good, has a personality, and a seductive woman can always get more attention from men, even though Lyman considers her as a junior supporter. of.

Talking and laughing for a while, the relationship gradually became harmonious.

After all, the two are quite familiar, whether it is Cage or Francis Coppola, they are both very affectionate and not embarrassing.

Lead her to gossip, turn left and right and didn't find out what's going on - there must be something to visit at this time.

Seeing this, Eva on the side leaned into Lehman's ear while serving coffee and whispered, "She came to make a movie. You have stayed for more than an hour before you came back."

Sophia knew that Eva was helping her, and she was really grateful.

Somehow, I was full of confidence before I came, and I really met someone, but I don’t know what to mention.

After Lehman heard this, his heart did not fluctuate much.

What he agreed with Francis Coppola was to help Coppola's younger generation to develop a situation in the film and television industry to a certain extent, and the key figure was to help Sofia.

And Sophia is the director-originally wanted to go the way of an actor, a golden plum award broke the girl's heart and had a shadow on the performance.After all, during that period, I was hacked and scolded by newspapers all the time.

Since it is a movie project, Lehman said seriously: "Are there any arrangements for the script and shooting budget and production plan?"

Sophia nodded and took out the prepared script from the shoulder bag beside him.

In other words, there is a big director who is his own father and he is also dedicated to help. Sophia's road of director is still very smooth.

In 1999, his debut work "Broken Wing Angel" won the Hollywood Young Director Award-similar to the actor rookie award. The film was also selected as one of the "Top Ten Best Films of 2000" by the authoritative French magazine "Cinema Manual".

In 2003, the second "Lost in Tokyo" was nominated for best director, best film and many other awards. At the same time, she won the best original screenplay, making her the first American female director to be nominated for best director.The scenery is infinite.

It stands to reason that a famous female director like her does not lack investment. Whether it is the influence of the Coppola family or her personal success, someone will rush to give money to make a movie.

In fact, it is true.

After she got the script, a number of studios clearly stated that they could shoot, distribute, and provide one-stop service for it.

But isn't it that her father Francis is very optimistic about the future development of Firefly, especially for the movie concept of Lehman. After meeting and talking, I want to owe personal love to my daughter's project-there is a relationship The entanglement of interests is in line with the transition from verbal agreement to actual cooperation between the two parties.

Ever since, Sophia, who had just finished the script smoothly, ran to Beverly Hills under the influence of her dad.

So, Sophia, who detonated the film market by "Lost in Tokyo", is really not short of people to give money, but lacks such a candidate who can continue and long-term escort for family interests.

And this candidate was initially identified as Lyman.
