Hollywood legendary director

Lehman didn't even know that his company's reputation in Canada was so loud, so loud that it was just a low-cost movie of 11 million dollars that attracted enough attention.

Of course, this may also be partly related to the project director of Jason Reitman, who was born in Canada.

"Acquaintances"? It's always easier to deal with.

The next day, Jason Reitman brought two leading actors over to sign an actor contract.

Also in the office, Lehman met Alan Page and Michael Sierra.

The latter has nothing to say, very quiet, but Peggy, it can only be said that the real person is more prominent than the photo.

He is not tall, a little thin, and has a relatively outgoing personality. When I first met Lehman, I could also say some insights about the work and express what I like.

Not to mention whether she really likes the movies he made, and being able to take the initiative to find topics to get closer is really helpful to her career.

It's no wonder that such a person can gradually emerge from the lack of background and stumbling supporting role career.

After all, if you can grasp every possible point and give a good impression, maybe there is a suitable role that will remind her.

Opportunity, people who have no conditions but also create conditions are undoubtedly very suitable for actors.

Not to mention that the young girl's professional ability is considered very good only in terms of her same age. In terms of performance alone, she does not lack any strain.

There are no big restrictions on the play road.

Lyman talked a few words with Page, admitting that Jason Reitman still has the vision to choose people, but the other one is not so important.

After all, the movie "Juneo" is actually a heroine, and the hero's existence is more of a foil.

Because no matter how you look at it, Peggy's role has to have more drama, more performance space, and it is the kind that is easy to shine.

The hero, as long as the acting is immature...

After the two signed the contract and left, only Jason and Lyman were left in the office.

"When are you going to shoot?"

"Next Wednesday, there are still some trivial things to deal with here." Jason replied.

"Yeah." Lehman nodded. "The rules and regulations of the guarantee plan are enforced by the Fire Insurance Fund. Two people will be sent over there to supervise them. Just pay attention. There is nothing else, you can concentrate on shooting."

......

After Jason Reitman left, Lehman reviewed the progress of the company's ongoing projects.

In the afternoon, a call was transferred to him.

In fact, it’s nothing. The message on the phone was an invitation from Warner Production executive Jonson.

This product has arrived several times, but this time it is more formal.

Judging from this situation, Lehman also speculated.

After all, the only relationship between the two parties now is "Batman."

After thinking about it for a moment, I understand that it is estimated that Warner has made a decision, otherwise Jonson will not find it again.

However, what Lehman is curious about is what conditions Warner intends to give.

Logically speaking, if you have a tendency to talk, you must be ready to cut your flesh and blood.

After contacting so many times, Lehman's idea is actually obvious.

......

Qiaosen and Chief Mayer did have many discussions and roughly determined the biggest bargaining chip that can be paid.

Although it did not clearly say that the "Batman" project must be implemented, similar to the affirmation, but after the meeting, other voices were suppressed and the bottom line of the negotiation was arranged, which obviously acquiesced to the cooperation.

Joson smiled, and didn't know what a farce this was.

Perhaps Warner's management does not understand why all kinds of bad luck suddenly went wrong this year.

If it can make last year's very impressive results, maybe it can be harder.

Moreover, "Superman" was refrigerated again, to avoid the adverse effects of failure and reduce the audience's negative memories, which is also a main reason for being soft.

After all, this is equivalent to Warner's own sealing of an arm of DC, but what else can we do if we don't do this?

The change in attitude towards Firefly was naturally clear to Jonson, but he could not find a way to solve the dilemma at this time.

Sometimes, he felt that Lehman had invested more than 100 million in cash in "The Mystery of Xia Ying" and said that it would be restarted. It was a magical stroke.

Otherwise, they would not be so passive.

Of course, there are not so many ifs in the world.

Now that the situation is like this, there is already a choice, only to bring the fireflies back to the warship again. In any case, in the "Batman" project, everyone's interests are the same.

But before the negotiation, Joson felt that he still needed to do some things, such as HBO...

......

Sometimes, it's strange how things are going.

This is especially true in shopping malls.

In the last moment, they may be enemies and opponents who hate each other, but in the next moment, they can't wait to become a confidant and become the most reliable partner.

In this regard, Lehman is also very impressed.

After all, Paramount and Warner have repeated their attitudes towards him, and the reason for this is not clear to him.

What is involved is nothing more than the word interest.

Once the interests are not in harmony, turning around becomes a stranger.

September 26, weekend.

The entrance to the Los Angeles Country Club.

The doorman who had been informed of the news a long time ago saw Lyman parked the car and greeted him enthusiastically. He respectfully said: "Mr. Rust, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Brian are already waiting for you, please come with me. "

However, what Lyman has some doubts about is the negotiation about "Batman", why did he get Brian for?

The business of film and TV stations do not overlap, right?

If you don't understand, you don't want to.

Lehmann followed the doorman, and soon saw the two sitting on the sofa in the lounge in the East Side.

Noting Lyman's figure, the two got up and walked over together.

"Hello, Lyman, it's nice to see you again." Brian greeted warmly.

Lehman smiled politely and shook hands with the two intimately.

In fact, it is not the first time that they have dealt with each other.

Seeing that the greeting was over, Qiao Sen said: "This is not a place to talk, go in and talk again."

After that, the club service staff on the side brought coffee again.

The three of them were seated, and Lehman asked casually, "I haven't seen you in a few days, I should have planned something."

Josen smiled and replied: "It's nothing, haven't I been contributing to the continued shooting of the project. Of course, we have something to negotiate about negotiations. "Batman" is just a good project after all."

Lehman took a sip of the coffee, not paying attention to what he said, or voluntarily ignoring the depressing value of what Warner does not lack projects.

Instead, I was thinking, the more I said that, the more I needed it...

The three of them knew not the purpose of this meeting, but they were the most eager at the negotiating table, so none of them first throw out the price tag, but tried to test the bottom line step by step.

Qiaosen asked: "Do you still want to participate in the North American issuance? To be honest, in this regard, your distribution capabilities are not enough to support it. How much can you get even if you participate?"

Lehman didn't mind being exposed to his method of raising prices.

Lu Xun said in "Silent China": Chinese people always like to reconcile and compromise.For example, you said that this room is too dark and a window must be opened here. Everyone must not allow it.But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and open the window.

A similar reasoning is actually more applicable at the negotiation table.

Put forward something that is difficult to accept, and only after pressing the other side uncomfortably, do you propose to reduce it down, and come up with a condition that you have to fight for, and the other party can accept it from the senses.

Lehman pretended to approve, and nodded: "I'm telling you that, just talking about issuance, we are not enough for projects with this investment quota for the time being, so...how about cooperative issuance? Overseas and North American issuance income, We only need 40%."

"Impossible. It is meaningless to talk about distribution. I don't think there is a need for cooperation in this area."-Warner Pictures can afford it and does not need to be complementary, or the distribution income is too high and the interest chain is too wide, which is very suitable The operation of the studio.

After all, the so-called channels have raised so many people up and down, and it is more convenient to have no resources available for distribution.

In other words, with so many employees, you have to find something to do.

Is it possible to cultivate waste?

Even when Blue Butterfly Pictures does not have a suitable project, it needs to find a sufficient number of film sources to maintain the release. How can Warner give up the release of first-line projects?
