Hollywood legendary director

Barry Meyer didn't think he was wrong to suppress the Firefly.

From the perspective of Warner, suppliers are beginning to be strong, don't the channel side warn, give some color?

This is like your home is a mobile phone sales channel. Suddenly there is a company that feels that its technology upgrades or other advantages, and wants the highest level of resources to distribute goods, does it really agree?

After doing this, what will happen to the mobile phones produced by ourselves, and what will other mobile phone manufacturers think?

Oh, co-authoring is for him, no other mobile phone brands-everyone will compare.

Putting it on Warner, Warner is not only cooperating with the Firefly family. Other large and small studios also have business dealings. In the original system, Firefly requires better treatment and resources based on performance. This is no problem. But if the upper limit is exceeded, that is a change in the pattern, which cannot be agreed in any case.

The ass determines the head.

From the point of view of Firefly, the more skilled the production business, what's wrong with it.

Hard-working projects, risking an unclear prospect, just to make money for others?

This is why the current mobile phone brands are beginning to get involved in sinking sales, setting up specialty stores instead of sub-regional agents. The latter develops quickly, but the hidden dangers are the greatest. Although the former is slow, one step at a time, the most stable... ...

Of course, Barry Meyer didn't expect that Lehman would rather brave the pressure of insufficient resources and the reduced film screening potential to open up channels.

Moreover, what is even more embarrassing is that this channel is not the Warner family. Several other people saw that the Firefly did not cross the line, and they all held the attitude of watching a good show, but finally pushed the Firefly to the opposite camp...

Therefore, it seems that the best way is to relax the relationship directly, but it is the most difficult to do. It is better to dig Nolan.

After all, if Warner could directly order Lehman to go east and go west, what would happen to him?

It wasn't because Lyman was disobedient.

How to ease the relationship?What else can there be other than the more benefits you don't want to give?

Barry Meyer had no choice but to say: "Joson, you continue to keep in touch with Firefly. As for other things, we don't have any projects except Batman?"-Warner, as one of the top studios, certainly does not lack Project production and promotion of some projects are estimated to be scheduled for next year.Moreover, it’s okay to wait for a while, don’t let people take advantage of the opportunity.

Josen replied, "I will."

......

In fact, Barry Meyer admires Lehman.

For talented directors, he never hesitated to win in.

In the past two years, the two companies have cooperated very well. The production business is so wide and the global film market is so big. There is enough space for these talents to display their talents. Therefore, Warner is really not afraid of the growth of Firefly's strength, because the film market is not the cake. One family and two families can eat it, and the lack of firefly channels is the biggest flaw.

At that time, Barry Meyer thought he had found another director with great potential. He was an all-rounder like Spielberg, who was excavated by Universal in his early years, who could open up territory for Warner, win-win for both parties, and benefit from each. .

But I don't know when, I have become more and more worried about his growth rate and become more and more uncontrollable. The fierce general who always charged with the Warner banner has begun to play his role and is not ordered.

Perhaps, just like Spielberg "breaking up" with Universal to establish a dream factory, Lehman no longer missed Warner's asylum, and began to work independently for himself.

Why are talented people always reluctant to succumb to others?Or does it mean that people will gradually increase their ambitions as resources and status accumulate?

Warner made a shot, but it didn't succeed, because Firefly is no longer the empty shell studio that can be manipulated.

......

Jonson is annoying.

An executive of Warner's production department, he couldn't even see Lehman.

Looking at this extremely polite and boring Joseph, he said seriously that Lyman was editing the film, and no one would bother, so don't wait.

Qiaosen really wants to yell. Can't you find a better reason if you want to fool?Clip?No one to see?It's troublesome.

Firefly and Warner were at odds, and there were some dismantling situations. Johnson knew this well, and he didn't even think about it once or what happened.But people, I have to let me meet.

Such an attitude still appeared in the fireflies who had been friendly between the two families, which inevitably made people feel emotional.

But it's just sighing. After all, it involves the general direction of the two studios. It is really not enough for a production executive to watch.

I just accepted the task myself and had to work hard to coordinate.

......

Joseph actually didn't lie, nor was he talking nonsense, because Lyman was really busy in the editing room for "Untouchable". For this reason, he had been through two nights, except for eating, basically not out of the room.

Editing can be said to be the second creation of the film. Whether the film is made according to ideas or not depends on how a director or team cuts it.

Therefore, the editing work is also the most important work in the later period, and it is not sloppy at all.

Sometimes, the cut is cool, and forgetting to sleep and eat is just the daily routine of all directors.

Of course, it must be exaggerated to see no one. Lehman just doesn't like to be disturbed, but in any case it is not serious enough to see no one or ignore anything.

After marking a editing point, I will deal with it roughly according to the connection of the previous and subsequent plots. After waiting for this section, I will contact the upper and lower scenes repeatedly for fine-cutting. After finishing, watch it again. Lehman nodded in satisfaction.

"Untouchable" is a relatively easy type to cut, because the main line is clear, there are not many branch plots, the scenes are all around Philip and Deris, and they are cut along the way of the story marked at the beginning, basically OK. Up.

Not to mention that Thomas and Ryan also helped from time to time without procrastination or delay, so it only took three days to complete the editing of the entire film. The content of the film is about 110 minutes, which is slightly more streamlined than the original. The scene transition is more clean and not muddy.

After the editing is complete, there are follow-up work such as the insertion of the opening and the end of the movie, the insertion of the animation logo, and the subtitles, narration, sound effects, and soundtrack.

Of course, Lehman doesn't have to do it himself. With the professional team taking over, the film will only be more perfect.

When he walked out of the editing room, Joseph reported something about Warner.

After Lehman heard this, he knew that Warner was still insisting, so he smiled.

The conditions they offered this time are indeed very harsh, and Warner cannot agree to it. After all, the distribution business of this kind of film is the most profitable, and it is also the channel operation that Warner Lai considers the foundation. How could it be possible to get a share of the firefly.

Of course, Lehman’s purpose is not actually for Warner to agree to such harsh conditions. He just raises the price first, and then negotiates a few steps back to get more benefits.This can be regarded as some small skills in negotiation, anyway, Warner is not in a hurry, I don't know, Firefly is definitely not in a hurry.

The development of the Firefly project this year has been relatively smooth. Even award-winning films such as "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Tongtian Tower" are basically able to make a small profit due to the operation of contacts and awards, and there is no risk of loss. What is there to worry about in the production?

To consolidate the North American channel, Blue Butterfly Pictures' life is not easy.

Speaking of which, unless the channel business is at the top, the lack of film sources is also a headache for the distribution company.

After all, a good project depends on luck in which studio, coupled with the head effect, the middle and lower-level studios will basically not favor channel vendors like Landie-the same project, The Blue Butterfly issuance is estimated to be less than 10% to 20%, or 20% to 30% less profit than the Big Six, and the more resources are needed, the more so.

In this way, even if the top six draws are higher, but others can make the cake larger, the points are still more profitable than small channel vendors.

No one is stupid with similar calculations.

Even Lionsgate is backed by its own independent film production, and its capital is all over Europe, looking for film sources from Australia, Italy and other places, North American business is relatively small, and it is all the usual accumulation of contacts.

Of course, Blue Butterfly's life will survive after all, this kind of pain is always going to be experienced, and all issuers are no exception...
