Hollywood legendary director

The person who came in was a white man of about 35 years old with glasses, holding a few report documents.

According to the identity reported by Metz, this person named Wilson is the president of an entertainment company that released the film festival.

When he got to the front, Wilson took the lead in making friendships. He said: "Mr. Lyman, I am your fan. You can make movies, and I watch every movie repeatedly..."

"Really. Sit down first. If you have anything, you can just say it." Lehman smiled and accepted his near words.

"Mister is really straightforward." Wilson followed the meaning and explained his intentions.

In fact, it’s nothing, I just want to talk to Lehman about the cooperation of repacking Oscar-winning films such as "The Old Nowhere" and "Pan's Labyrinth", and reaping the wallets of literary youth with a different look.

"We can do these things ourselves, why bother with your company?" Lehman said politely.

"Ha, Mr. May has some misunderstandings. Our business model is different from that of ordinary film and television companies."

When it comes to his own business, Wilson appears more calm and smooth.

"...Of course your company’s publishers can operate the North American market, but most overseas are entrusted to Fox Pictures, but Fox has already released it before, and it is unlikely to bet too much resources, because their mainstream model is larger than that of other places. With the cooperation of a guaranteed distribution company, these films have already been transferred to those people’s hands, and they may be transferred to third hands. There is a lot of loss in the middle."

Lehman listened and motioned for him to continue.

Lehman was accustomed to being secretly pitted when it was released, and he couldn't catch it. As long as you don't go too far, generally everyone defaults to the cost of resale commission.

If this is the case, Lehman still can't be moved.

Perhaps Wilson also knew that dry words had no effect, and finally began to shake things up.

He handed the report to Lehman and talked about some market data they had worked with Miramax in the past.

"...Bay Bay sold 2 million US dollars, of which more than 30,000 DVDs were sold and a profit was 260,000..."

"...The total amount of copyrights sold in Eastern Europe is 7 million U.S. dollars, of which 850,000 U.S. dollars from offline leasing..."

What does the above mean?

It is equivalent to the approximate output of the Oscar movies they packaged in each location.

Lehman understood how profitable this company was.

Take advantage of some people’s herd mentality or bias towards authority to sell award-winning Oscar movies, especially those that are more literary and artistic, to the market for specific groups of people, and they never cooperate with large companies, they are looking for relatively weak distribution companies in various regions Focus on one market.

No wonder they came to find fireflies.

In addition to this year's film source problem, it is also because their single type of film and television company can only have a great advantage at certain times, such as packaging Oscars.

In other words, after working for a long time, they have the confidence to operate the Oscar market most efficiently.

While speaking, Wilson continued to transmit the concept of mutual benefit.

Obviously they need the film source, but they have suffered a big loss by not cooperating with them.

I have to say that Wilson's eloquence is still there, and his analysis is also in place, because Fox really can't achieve a detailed division of the single market, and people have no reason to spend their minds just for a bite of Oscar cake.

Lehman estimated the income revealed in the report, even if there is some tricks in it, there is a certain temptation.

The most important thing is that in the future, the Oscar cake will not be eaten by fireflies only once.

In many years, even Ali will have to pay a high price to win the "Green Book" to know how fragrant the Oscar is. Smart people can see the natural call of this platform to expand its advantages.

In other words, no matter how many people complain about Oscar's political correctness and shady public relations, it can still affect the judgment standards of many people.

And this is something that many studios are pursuing.

Lehman pondered for a while, handed back the report, and then asked, "So, how do you want to cooperate?"

"The three-year management rights for those films yielded 64 points."

"We are six?"

"Ha, we are responsible for the contact and operation of all parties in the middle, but it is not to take advantage of your company."-Of course, we are six, we are not here for charity, it is difficult to run.

"Okay, take a moment to sort out the cooperation contract, and after the legal review, we'll make it."

"Happy cooperation." Wilson suddenly found his throat dry.

Don't look at him being so calm, but before he came, he was really not sure about making this business with Firefly.

It is more important for them to be able to catch firefly film sources, because the types of films playing non-mainstream film festivals are much more demanding than the general distribution options.

You give a popcorn movie, they will definitely not be able to play it.

This is the restriction of the single market.

Wilson restrained his inner joy, said goodbye and walked out of the office door, feeling full of power.

This is the motivation that Franklin brought.

......

The shooting progress of "The Dark Knight" is over halfway, and the remaining funds need to be approved by Lehman...

To contact Perlman in the issuance field of various overseas regions to apply for the deployment of funds and manpower, and to sign a confidential contract on personnel matters, arrangements and audits are required...

The copyright market data of Blue Butterfly Pictures for February needs to be recorded and checked...

Lehman sat in the boss chair and looked at things like that.

Some troubles, some only need to sign and pass, but it takes time and energy to deal with.

Of course, this is also because Lehman did not give Joseph the full approval authority.

It's not for any other reason, it's just that it can't be completely divorced from the company's actual business, and nothing is done.

After all, many people have a desire for power and can't believe in personal qualities too much.

In reality, I don't know how many cases of insider thieves have occurred in the company, so we must be vigilant.

Even when Lehman went out to film a movie, he would use emails to deal with the backlog in order to maintain a sense of presence in management.

For this reason, Blue Butterfly, digital field, lighting entertainment, and firefly are basically managed separately, and it is not hesitate to waste some power and resources.

Time to enter March.

The pre-screening publicity of "Juneo" continues to build momentum, and the remaining few days will increase funding.

On the other hand, the trial broadcast of "Stranger Things" on HBO will also begin.

Saturday, March 3.

In a residential building in Brooklyn, New York.

John quickly ate dinner, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and stared at the TV screen.

The short opening episode passed.

The younger brother George also ran over, and after not watching it for a while, he was surprised: "Isn't this short-haired actor the little girl in "New York"?"

"Yeah." John affirmed briefly, and didn't care about his brother's bluff.

He is 15 years old this year, and his brother is 12 years old. Of course, he can't tell his brother. He really likes Dakota Fanning, who is the short-haired actor in his brother's mouth.

In this play, he knew Fanning would play Xiao11 early in the morning, and the trailer said it, but compared to the short hair style, John prefers her long hair in "New York", especially with a hairpin on the ear. ,Extremely Beautiful.

......

Although the general plot of "Stranger Things" produced by Firefly has not changed much, the cast has completely changed faces compared with the original version.

After all, at that time, Vichy ran to pick up the TV series, but now people can still play the role of a girl, and ask her to play the role of a housewife. Unless Vichy's economic team is crazy, it is absolutely impossible.

This is the case in Hollywood. Once a certain actress has taken a "backward" step herself, it will be difficult to basically want to look back.

In other words, you have played roles such as "mother" and "grandma", so leave the performance opportunities for other age groups to other actresses.

Of course, Cate Blanchett has no such worries. She is older and has less room for selection, and her acting skills are as good as the Dakota-Fanning combination, which is not inferior to the original.

In other words, it was Lehmann who personally communicated with Fanning's team members before they agreed to act in a TV series.

With her reputation among young people at this time, it can be said that she has the best momentum of development among the new generation of actresses born in the 1990s.

At least, she quickly captured the hearts of teenagers who watched the show.
