Hollywood legendary director

Regarding the schedule of "Fatal Magic", Liam had thought about it, and the range given was to be released in the United States on Friday, September 15th.

Because at that time, Blue Butterfly will not have other publishing work on hand, "Little Sunshine" is about to be drawn according to this posture, and it can be promoted with all its heart, plus it can better communicate with the theater and discuss the number of canvases.

Moreover, when it is released in mid-September, the market potential will be exhausted almost in mid-October, and then "Sparta" can be connected to the box office.

This idea is a more appropriate arrangement.

Therefore, Lehman also approves of Liam's plan.

After discussing the schedule, the two chatted again on the offline market.

This aspect is more casual.

After all, Firefly doesn't have any powerful copyright peripheral channels. It is the kind of more traditional distribution promotion. It also uses offline giants such as Blockbuster and Mattel. Their sales network belongs to one of many offline partners.

It can be said that when it comes to copyright development, it is better than the Big Six. In addition to Warner doing a good job, Disney is the only one in the world.

From theme parks and resort hotels, to image surroundings, to authorized development, every link has sufficient accumulation and marketability. It is not comparable to the "extensive" style of fireflies, and I don't know which direction to expand.

Liam also had a headache for this.

In the company, he thinks that the most advantageous is the film director who can produce high-quality content like the boss. At present, he can obtain resources and can tilt the resources to expand because the high-quality content can give all kinds of forces, such as theater operators and channel dealers. Bring good income, otherwise, which one will look at the firefly more?

But the accumulation of this kind of resources has limitations, or innate disadvantages, so it can't be mixed up now. It's really the result of this kind of market restriction, and Liam is also helpless.

Moreover, in order to block the mouths of rivals like Warner and Paramount, you must be tough yourself. If you don’t take advantage of this opportunity, the theater resources will be somewhat insufficient. For the project itself, there must be sacrifices. 10%. Now the issuance is not only more stressful, but also more risky. It can't get the slightest practical benefit. It is estimated that only 80% is left.

Of course, without a "partner" to be shared, the total income is roughly indispensable, but it is not much stronger.

In other words, the desperate self-protection is still not enough at best, which is really damning.

However, compared to Liam's somewhat pessimistic thoughts, Lyman is confident about the future.

When the sky changes, who would have thought that the film and television industry will also be vulnerable.

Oh, no, the country of American lighthouses also has times of weakness.

After a while, Liam said again: "The focus of publicity is to make a fuss around the two leading actors."

Lehman understood, "Batman vs. Wolverine, it's very topical. I just don't know if Foxconn will not be able to cooperate with the hype."

"And Warner Bros." Liam thought the boss was funny and smiled.

"No, Warner is definitely willing, maybe they are more afraid of damage to the newly established Batman image than we are. Superman is blocked, and Batman must not be lost. You see, they definitely want "Fatal Magic" more than us. To be successful, at least the word of mouth cannot be bad. As for Fox, it depends on what people mean. After working together for a while, I should be willing to give a little help."

"Warner is still holding on now, and I don't know what it is thinking. Do we just keep waiting like this?" Liam asked about the "Batman" project.

Lehman nodded, "We can't back down anymore, step back, step by step, and it will be difficult to wait until today's time is tough. I guess they must be willing to talk. It is said that Superman's mess has caused two executives has resigned?"

"Well, the two deputy directors should be launched to share the pressure. However, the copyright is in their hands. We only have the right to shoot and are also subject to three restrictions, so there is no confidence."

"Haha, I think this is our greatest confidence. Think about it, Superman changed so many directors, and finally found Brian, but still lost. Now, Nolan has proven that he has the ability to direct Batman. Grasp the market and audience fans to drive image appreciation. If you are an executive of the Warner Distribution Department, would you be willing to abandon the existing situation, risk huge risks and reshuffle the cards and take a gamble? Will you?"

"Okay. Anyone can make this decision. I am only an executor." Whoever makes such a decision, who is responsible for such a decision, is Warner executives really willing to gamble?

Status, wealth, and moving to the gambling table all at once are probably impossible for those who are always looking for the best solution in the market and want to be stable.

In fact, even from the perspective of Warner, Lyman would not choose this way.

Now Nolan is like an amazing soldier, finally let the market have a new vitality to Batman, so that the audience's interest and expectation are raised again, can it be directly put out?

Let alone what the viewers who have watched "The Mystery of Xia Ying" think are good, will they resist it, and just say that it is not worthwhile or worthwhile to take the risk.

And Nolan is ours.

Warner failed to dig a corner once, and became even more passive.

Of course, most of the time, for a studio like Warner, the director is a tool man, a small piece of the puzzle to perfect the plan.

But a reputable director is still a director who has proved it once, and a director who has not been verified by the market but is also famous. Who would Warner trust?

This is a very simple multiple-choice question. Choose A for Nolan, because he made the film "The Mystery of Xia Ying", and choose B for Nolan, because of his very personal style of imaging techniques, which cannot be imitated by ordinary people of.

In this way, Warner seems to have only one way to go.

The original team, original main creation, original investment, restore the taste of needs.

But can Warner tell Firefly that they have worked so hard, but they were dissuaded by the harsh terms of participating in the North American issuance proceeds.

In the middle, the shareholders on the board of directors are not quiet...

In short, they also have a lot of trouble.

For the "Batman" project, what the meeting discussion can get is generally, "Handle it carefully and talk about it slowly. You can't be led by the nose."

Warner is not a one-word model. Every decision cannot be answered instantly, so what can be done without delay?

The middle-level and lower-level employees couldn't manage it, and the top level was very scrupulous and didn't manage it well, so they had no choice but to settle down quickly and wait for the opportunity.

After the chat.

Lehman left Blue Butterfly Pictures.

Back home, it was late at night, and Lyman stood on the balcony of the second floor bedroom, quietly all around, above his head, the bright moon was high.

Farther away, there is an increasingly vast starry sky.

Looking down, the city's lights are still shining with the location of the hillside.

Feeling the comfort of the breeze, the inexplicable mood is calm.

Warner, Disney, prestige, channels...

The first two are the focus of Firefly's attention. As for Fox, Paramount, etc., either are declining or are walking in the wrong direction, oh, plus a MGM that has been played badly.

For the latter two, it is necessary to continue to improve.

Prestige means too much, and I must understand it.

The channel, the blood supply system of the studio, cannot easily be let go.

The size of the blood vessels is related to how far the giant firefly can go and what endurance it has.

It can't seem to be huge, but it's broken in one blow, it looks like a thing...

Lehman has made up his mind that no allies and partners are reliable. When the interests are the same, it doesn't matter how close they are. Once they get in the way or threaten, it doesn't matter what to do.

What Firefly needs is to continue to accumulate prestige, strength and company heritage, until one day, just like the current six, with only one name, one brand, and a complete network, countless studios will take the initiative to invest. , Forming a general trend, that is the future of the firefly.

A little difficulty, a little development frustration, but only the way to the future must be tempered.

Tang Seng took a scripture, and still had seven, seven forty-nine calamities, nine-nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties, and the theater chain resources were not sufficient, so what was it.

How long has the Big Six been in operation, how long has Firefly been in operation, and how long has DreamWorks been in operation?

Countless examples are telling Lehman that the upward road is not easy to go, but it has to go...
