Hollywood legendary director

Looking at Lyman, Nolan suddenly didn't know what to say.

Sometimes, a person’s intuition is very sensitive. Whether you are perfunctory or polite in your words, there is always a more accurate perception similar to the conveyed attitude.

And just now, Nolan was just a sigh from the heart,

He really felt that if he could retake it again, he would definitely do better.

This "Fatal Magic" has some flaws, and he knows it himself.

But how to say.

Lehman's unsuspecting response also made Nolan aware of his affirmation of himself for the first time, instead of the so-called comfort or casual similar feeling.

Perhaps others would think he was talking big.

But in Nolan's bones is a somewhat British stereotype.

Therefore, Lehman does not doubt.

The feedback to Nolan is that he feels comfortable with the phrase "Of course, I believe".

It is human, there will be comparison.

Compared with other studios' attitude towards him, Lehman is obviously sincere.

This is also Nolan's choice, perhaps, since the moment he rejected Warner, he has had such thoughts.

......

After the screening, Blue Butterfly Pictures prepared a reception.

Whether to entertain the reception, it is of course that the media and film critics can be "sympathetic".

As the so-called soft hands of people, soft mouths of cannibals, the two-pronged approach will have an impact.

At the banquet, everyone was in good spirits, and George was one of the others.

It's just that his energy is no longer rich in food and wine, but often focuses on the main creator of the crew and Lehman.

Moreover, in addition to the director's approval and some delightful elements shown in the film, George has to admit that the characters inside are also excellent.

For example, the combination of Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, the duel between them produced a very positive chemical reaction.

He was even a little strange that he didn't see the shadow of "Wolverine" in An Jie. For some embarrassing reason, it was difficult for this actor to get rid of his image positioning in that series of comic works.

But "Deadly Magic" effectively concealed this point, instead of magnifying the difference.

In addition, the performance of the newly recruited flower Scarlett Johansson is also remarkable. However, compared with this type of movie, he still feels that the artistic atmosphere of the actress has been wasted. It is a work suitable for her.

If it didn't happen to be concerned, the role of "soy sauce" like a female assistant would be even thinner.

It’s easy to overlook such a role if you watch the full movie.

In addition, in addition to the ubiquitous magic elements, this film, like the title, is a work that "turns decay into expression".

Movies about magic are actually very few, because magic itself is not a good subject for exploring the sense of drama, and how to properly display different things in such a carrier is even more difficult.

Fortunately, he felt that Nolan did a good job, which brought more surprises than "The Mystery of Xia Ying".

......

After two quick steps, Liam came to Nolan and Lehman.

"Why..." Lehman looked at the stack of reports in his hand, "What's the matter?"

"Yeah," Liam replied, "It's the detailed data about the audience. Although the base of the collection is a little bit smaller, you can see something, especially the most intuitive feeling of the movie just after the screening."

In fact, the role of the premiere ceremony included a similar role, and Liam, who was arranged in the morning, quickly gathered information from several employees.

Although the early propaganda strategy was based on Batman and Wolverine, it did achieve good results.

However, the post-screening publicity must no longer be used in the way of topical hype, but must be transformed into the influence and attraction of specific mainstream audience groups, and the analysis of the market.

The spectators leaving midway undoubtedly made Liam a little worried.

In case the reputation of "Fatal Magic" collapses or the prospects are not good, they can now think of ways to reduce losses in advance.

For some things, an extra plan and preparation is always good.

Although the performance of the movies produced by Firefly has always been good since 2004, but...

I hope it is a rainy day, and the result is still good.

He himself is still very optimistic about the company's future and has high hopes, and he also hopes that he can accumulate more power in such a team and realize his own value.

And this report, he has roughly read it.

To put it simply, the audience’s high expectations for Nolan made the film’s reputation not so good, or rather mediocre.

Obviously, a full investment of 50 million (40 million for production and 10 million for announcements) is not very optimistic based on the data trend presented in this report.

Liam is already a little bit unsure whether the audience will pay for this work, even if it is Nolan's new work following "The Mystery of the Shadow".

However, what he worries about, Lehman is calm and composed.

After receiving the report, I flipped through it at random, and found that if I liked it, I would be sure. Those who didn't like this kind of theme would feel boring and leave the show if they could not insist on a third of the screening.

In other words, the audience who can have some sense of suspense elements will not show their rejection in the form of magic.

Listening to Liam's words, there were a total of 1,375 spectators. By the end of the film, there were roughly 98 people who left the scene.

Excluding off-site factors such as fans in urgent matters, it can be basically seen that about 7 percent of the audience have a poor perception of the film.

In this way, if you push big by small and predict it boldly, the evaluation of the film among passers-by will appear to be a bit larger, and it may be closer to 20%...

Lehman handed the report back and said relaxedly: "I still have expectations for the market prospects of "Fatal Magic". The results may not be very impressive, but if you want to lose money, such data can't explain much."

Liam whispered: "I'm afraid that bad reputation will affect the audience's potential impression."

"This film does not have a traffic role like Bruce Wayne, so its selling point should be the exquisite plot design, narrative mode and novelty of magic elements. Liam, what we have to do next is to guide some positive reviews, If the results in the first week are good, we will take the lead in the follow-up public opinion, and winning the market will not be difficult."

Liam nodded, knowing that his boss still has confidence in the film, and thought in his heart that he didn't need to overwhelm the show, so he opened his mouth and said: "I will pay attention to the guidance of public opinion. Then, I will fight with a few newspapers first. Say hello, I hope to get more positive comments. Also, the online side is also ready, and it depends on whether the next market performance can follow the expected results at the beginning."

Lyman watched Liam leave, and was waiting to find a quiet place to rest when he saw Isaac, the Fox executive, approaching.

This is not for the screening of "Deadly Magic". After a few auspicious words, he changed the subject and said: "Mr. Rust, our company hopes to continue to cooperate with Firefly. Except for movies, TV On the Internet, Firefly Pictures does not seem to have much interest in cooperating with us?"

Lyman said calmly: "Isaac, haven't we already cooperated with Breaking Bad? You forgot?"

"No, no, I mean, there can be more cooperation. If you have any good production plans, you can communicate with us more, and we will definitely come up with cooperative terms that satisfy Firefly."

Although Fox is already regarded as the fourth most beautiful TV network, they still have some fundamental gaps compared with the traditional top three (ABC, NBC, CBS).

For example, for events such as the Oscars, Golden Globes and even the Super Bowl, where the audience base is destined to be large, Fox rarely has the opportunity to get started. After all, these three companies have already put similar public interest cakes for decades. The division is over.

Moreover, as far as the most basic control of the number of local TV stations is concerned, Fox is catching up quickly, which is not too much.

In order to save money, or if it weren't for the level of Fox's program production, there is a question mark whether Fox Television Network can develop.

These factors have limited Fox's motivation to continue upward.

Therefore, an excellent content provider Fox is very important.

But Firefly didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to have a deep friendship. Isaac's coming here at this time was both tentative.

Of course, the fireflies did not want to cling to the big tree Fox.

The tacit understanding at this time will become an enemy in the future. Who can say it clearly?
