Hollywood legendary director

"Museum" has a hot screen and successfully won the top of the next week's list in the first weekend. The total box office in North America was 73.25 million, which gave the media more material coverage.

Although film critics still disdain, but the movie has become a reality.

Among them, the main creative of the crew has also made a lot of profit. For Johnson to say, that is, another comedy actor who can touch 20 million pieces of pay has appeared....

Afterwards, Ben Stiller also came over to say a few words of thanks to Lehman-in fact, it was nothing. In addition to getting closer, the main expression might be that he can still be found for suitable projects in the future. He hopes very much. Work with fireflies...

For similar things, Lehman was already quite familiar.

For actors, good projects are what they are pursuing.

But having said that, with the advantage of foresight, it is impossible to step on the yellow line to avoid risks.

Firefly Pictures headquarters.

On the coming days of the new year, Lehman went to see a TV drama director.

After all, "Stranger Things" is almost ready, only one character is in charge of the shooting.

And this project is the main episode of the HBO spring release next year, and there is not much time reserved.

When the man arrived in the reception room, Lehman greeted him politely: "Director Zinberg, hello."

This can be regarded as a few candidates recommended by several brokerage companies, but Lehman was finally selected.

The reason is simple, obedient, experienced, and know how to work.

Because the script creation of "Stranger Things" has been finalized, and the actors and behind-the-scenes personnel are already in place, it is unlikely that the director will be able to give the director some good space to perform his duties. Some famous and qualified directors are probably Will not accept similar treatment.

But Michael Zinberg is not the case. In other words, as long as the treatment is satisfied, people will accept it with a high probability.

This guy has previously directed the first and second seasons of "Lost", and certain scenes in the second and third seasons of "The Secret Force" have always been diversity directors who are used as tools, and rarely control the creation of a TV series from beginning to end.

In other words, this guy is used to being a salary officer, not picky, and not so much other thoughts. For example, he must get the voice of the whole crew and make a shooting plan, and he must shoot according to his ideas.

In addition, he likes the idea of ​​taking care of the funders, he never changes the script randomly, and he has rich experience in filming. He has been in this industry for 12 years. The wide range of subjects and the variety of styles are also his characteristics.

For him, there is not much difficulty in filming such sci-fi and retro-style dramas as "Stranger Things".

However, due to the schedule, we waited until the end of the year to make time.

When the two met for the first time, there was not much to talk about. After all, Zinberg didn't know how far the whole crew was. The specific details have to wait for others to see it.

When the opponent left, Lyman packed up and rushed to Rust Manor in Beverly Hills.

Tonight, there will be a New Year's Eve reception here.

Mainly for company management positions.

The second floor of the main house.

Eva was still choosing a dress. Seeing Lyman coming in, she picked up a slanted-breasted dress and asked, "Help me see which dress I wear tonight?"

"The burgundy one on the left is good."

"Will it be too colorful."

"I think it's just right."

After talking a few words like this, Eva still picked the burgundy one-shoulder style that she liked quite heartily.

After six o'clock, the manor began to lively.

Mainly because the company's performance this year is very good, waiting for them must have a big red envelope, this is also a tradition over the years.

Compared with the kind of party that is very open, the scale of this cocktail party is very small, and it can even be said that they are all the backbone members of the firefly.

Joseph, Liam, Perlman, Ryan, Garcia, etc.

Moreover, this year's performance is likely to promote next year's performance, and everyone is more motivated.

......

Soon, Lehman returned to his job.

On January 1, 2007, Lehmann took the lead and paid out about 20 million US dollars from the account and distributed a bonus according to the position.

This way of boosting morale and gathering people's hearts is quite worthwhile.

On the other hand, "The Dark Knight" has entered the filming stage, and the editing of "She" is over...

On theatrical online, "300" is still encouraging and supporting, "Museum" remains the same, and "Untouchable" is gaining box office in France and even the European market.

In contrast, the audience in the US does not like "Untouchable". Although the reputation is good, the actor's main creative is not attractive and topical. In addition, it is a very French story, and even the paragraphs in it are not very good. It's easy to understand, the threshold for viewing movies is relatively high, and it's normal to be unpopular.

Liam, however, took a fancy to the market potential of this subject, and suggested a US version, reimagined the script, and invited local actors to promote it. It is estimated that there is some profit.

Lehman agreed to this, but it will take some time to arrange the project.

After watching the rough cut of "Juneau" from the editing room, Lehman returned to the office still thinking about when to arrange a schedule for this movie. When Metz saw Lehman's figure, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Boss, Michael Zinberg agreed."

Lehman nodded to indicate understanding, and called Joseph.

He is responsible for matters related to the new drama project.

"What did Michael say?"

"He stayed on the set for a long time yesterday. When he left, he was very pleased and very satisfied. Furthermore, his agent has already put forward the conditions for directing."

"What did you mention?" Lyman asked again.

"The director's salary is not less than 800,000 per episode. You must have a name on the position of producer, and he recommends the assistant director."

Joseph skipped some of the more conventional studio treatments, and roughly said the three points that the other party cares most about.

The former is the question of banknotes, the middle is the question of the right to speak and status, and the latter is the arrangement of a direct lineage, or a gift from him.

"He wants 800,000 per episode? I remember he didn't seem to be so worthy. When filming "Lost", he only had 800,000 for the middle two episodes." Lehman shook his brows.Of course he is not completely ignorant of him.

"Negotiating, always report more." Joseph thought about this: "I think at most as long as the price is raised to 450,000 per episode, his agent should reach the psychological price if he wants to come."

"Then give him 450,000 episodes and promise everything else." Lehman continued, "Let him cut out at least the first two episodes for pilot broadcast before March. Also, if the project is completed well, continue. The work can also be handed over to him, but this is only the intention, whether it can be achieved depends on his performance."

"Relax, I will point it out."

After solving the matter, while Joseph left, Lyman left the company and diverted to Coppola Manor.

Since the last time "She" was finished, Lyman had a little chat with Francis Coppola about the Oscars, and it has been a long time since he cared.

Of course, the Oscar is just the icing on the cake, plus a platform of interest to enhance the company's label image, in fact, there is no need to care too much.

It's the best if you can, and it's okay if you can't.

It's just that the treatment is too different, which makes Lyman a little uncomfortable.

If it is dignified and compared to the previous one, it is indeed not as good as others, who is not convinced?But what is this?

Lehman was not so arrogant that the quality of the projects produced by his own company was the first, but he was naked and squeezed out several times. It was all due to lack of contacts and lack of deep foundation, which was very uncomfortable.

In other words, you can not give it, but don't be disgusting on purpose.

Always nominate nominees, at the end of the day, with empty hands, giving a consolation award.

On the way, Lyman also sighed in his heart.

A good selection event that should be recognized by the public has become a public relations competition for family connections. This is really...have to follow other people's rules.

When we arrived at Coppola Manor, Sofia went out to greet him.

After meeting, chatted about "She" enthusiastically.

Sophia is really satisfied with this movie, and there is too much to say, especially the process of shooting.

Such as Scarlett's dubbing.

Lehman wanted to say in his heart that because of this, people took the Roman actress without showing up, which shows how popular they are.

I have to say that Scarlett’s very magnetic sound injection is a big plus for the film.

Talking and walking, Francis Coppola is already ready...
