Hollywood legendary director

Hollywood should be the most standardized place in the world for the film and television industry.

Since receiving Metz’s reminder, Lehman asked Liam to ask how much the theater’s stalls could provide, or to come to an internal screening to give the hospital confidence.

This is actually a process, the task is not difficult, just follow the routine.

When it's almost time, through the announcement, it will cause the topic and then push it into the market. The rest depends on whether the audience can buy it.

This time the "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" project is highly valued by the company.

The creator of the crew has paid more attention.

After the project is profitable, Lehman is not stingy with rewards.

Those who have made relatively large contributions like production, photography, and lighting, generally have a little better grades, and can get almost one or two months of salary from the bonus.

Director Zach Schneider, not to mention, the net profit of the project himself is mostly.

Although it hasn't waited until that moment, the quality and marketability of the film still make people miss it.

"Tsk tusk tusk, if the box office exceeds 300 million, there should be 70,000 US dollars."

The art director Hans was valued by the coach because of his early days, and he became a protagonist. This time he was also eligible for more bonuses. He counted the possible banknotes in his hand, just wondering if he could have that luck.

The prop logist sat beside him, squinting at the little head behind the scenes who had just moved up to take over the art position for the first time not long ago, despising the other party's ignorance and speechless.

In the crew, there are also large and small classes.

Needless to say, handymen and studio assistants are usually called goods.

In their category, they are almost at the top of various positions, such as radio, photography, field record...In addition to the degree of importance and the difference in the project, although the salary is still very different, the name In the above, it is all "sit on an equal footing", each manages its own affairs, and don't make trouble.

Therefore, in terms of piping equipment and clothing arrangement, his salary is inferior to Hans, who is newly promoted to art director...This is very angry.

No matter how many years he has worked and how rich experience he has, the gap in his position still cannot be made up. People have more room for improvement than his job.

Seeing that the management of the same group did not speak, Hans chuckled, and then calculated there: "How much can Zha Dao get this time? Can it exceed 20 million?"

"Maybe, it's all obscure things, why are you so passionate about it?"

"That's right, it's coming out soon. Didn't you say that the boss will come over today?" Hans suppressed his inner joy and forced a calm appearance, but the smile at the corner of his mouth still exposed him.

"Hey, why isn't the boss here yet?" Hans stretched his neck and looked at the door.

But beside him, he has already stopped answering his words.

......

The time is nine o'clock in the morning.

In a projection room in the digital realm, Lyman, Scott Rose, and Zach Schneider were sitting around watching a few shots.

For such a period of time, the digital field is still in the stage of burning money and not making profits.

However, the money spent was not in vain, and it has become a variety of expensive graphics processing equipment and deepening special effects technology.

The development of similar professional fields was originally driven by projects mixed with research.

Like Zha Dao's idea of ​​imaging "Sparta" has been implemented on the big screen, it has also been specifically solved, which is equivalent to practicing hands.

Scarlet tabard, slow writing, oil painting processing...

This kind of lens is very amazing.

At least, Dao Zha was also very satisfied. At this time, he coughed twice, showing off with a little bit: "How?"

"I think there is still a possibility of improvement in rendering."

Scott made a serious analysis.

Of course, from a technical perspective, there is no best but better.

But from the director's point of view, the color processing of "Sparta" has been greatly innovative.

Save a great personal mark.

People who are not directors may find it good and have strong senses, but the more you enter the threshold, the more delicate the whole process will be.

After all, every step of innovation is not simple.

"Very good." Lehman complimented sincerely following Zhadao's meaning.

Sure enough, Zha Dao was proud and in a good mood-I worked so hard and took so much thought to complete the directed work, don't you want to be amazing.

In this world, who doesn't want to be recognized.

"Oh, yes, "Sparta" is scheduled to be screened next Friday next week, which is to be released on November 10.

......

The issue of cooperative issuance is profitable, and of course no one will refuse.

Whether it is Lionsgate or Mubao, after all, they have a certain amount of theater resources. Anyway, if you can't participate in Christmas, and you don't have any great potential masterpieces, then it is good to get a share of the "Spartan" project.

Things went better than Lehman imagined.

Perhaps this is also due to the inadequate schedule of works.

In terms of data, in October, the market rose by only 1.5% over last year, while the number of screens increased by more than 4,000 yuan over last year-from the total amount of early 40,000 to more than 46,000, the canvas The amount is too large, but the benefits they deserve are not up to expectations.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't meet the standard in a certain month. As long as the total market value shows an upward trend, the theater operators are willing to increase investment.

Social development and wealth growth are most easily affected by entertainment.

In recent years, both the stock market and the real estate have been increasing in value. People have more surplus money, and more people enjoy watching movies. Businessmen are not stupid. A little calculation will know the expansion of the market.

Just like the golden age of film and television in the 1980s, behind the explosive growth of the number of theaters, it was because smart people wanted to make money.

Now the threshold is high. After all, is the theater chain chain? You can't play the theater chain if you have no strength. Wall Street investment banks invest money in production, offline and other channels. Generally speaking, there are still many people who are optimistic about the film and television industry. .

With more industry resources, film sources are needed, especially high-quality film sources.

After all, without excellent content, where can the subsequent benefits be earned?

Even Disney has begun to attach importance to live-action movies. For the animation industry, it has also acquired Pixar at a high price.

Everyone has actions.

Anyway, in a wealthy industry, similar things are justified.

Content is the foundation of the film and television industry.

If it is on weekdays, as long as there is money to make, the more the theaters share the profits, it does not matter whether they support it or not.

However, there are not many excellent film sources in October, so when "Sparta" was set for November 10th, Liam had a good communication with several major cinema dealers.

The screen, film arrangement, location and even internal promotion have all received a certain focus on resources.

Of course, it is only certain.

As Christmas approaches, the five major projects all have ace projects in theaters, but this is a period of time.

After all, these established studios are more appealing.

Of course, Lehman doesn't think his company is so attractive.

Movies, it was still a market until the end.

The early investment cannot be converted into actual box office, and it is all in vain.

Who knows from which work the big winner will be born?

"Boss, Mubao and Lionsgate promised to provide no less than 1,000 screen canvases, but we have to let us pay for the promotion. They can cooperate. In addition, they also want a 10% net profit of the local box office. If our If the project results are not satisfactory, it may not be difficult to control the loss." In the office, Joseph reminded worriedly.

This time, the investment was the highest without the Big Five taking over, and it was more than "The Devil Wearing Prada".

You know, Liam alone talked about 2500 screens, and the terms of subsequent additional screenings and the share of the film, plus the cooperation of the other two, the premiere canvas is as high as 3,500, which is basically enough for the top five first-line projects. If the results are not up to expectations, it would be equivalent to eating up all the losses in several aspects-Lionsgate and Mubao are a profitable business, otherwise, cooperative distribution will not fail to become the mainstream distribution model of Firefly .

If it can be issued independently, who is willing to take the risk and distribute the money to allies happily.

However, the potential of "Sparta" is worth it.

Lehman didn't want to wait until after the release to discover that the cinema screens were insufficient.

It was trouble at that time!

Lehman replied: "Don't worry. Let's determine the direction of the announcement today."
