Hollywood legendary director

In a brightly lit city, humans will always consciously or unconsciously ignore those visions-peeling walls, cracked ground, chilling wind, inexplicable surging of streets.

The world and hell have signed a truce contract since ancient times. As long as no one oversteps the contract a day, the hell demons can't do anything wrong.

For thousands of years, the two worlds have been in peace, so several generations of humans who have passed on from generation to generation have long forgotten that mysterious world, and even sneered at it.However, people don’t know that the peace contract is already in danger. In hell, an evil force that has been brewing for a long time is quietly poised to take off...

In the world, at a certain auction venue, more than 70 guests had no survivors, and the scene was razed to the ground.The seemingly ordinary case of murder and destruction is actually the arrogant declaration of war by the leader of the evil forces, Prince Nuyada.

This cruel tyrant who walked through the yin and yang realms not only regarded the truce contract as nothing, but also tried to awaken the invincible warcraft army with blood and burn the world with hell fire.Under the call of his blood, the beasts that have been dormant in the depths of hell rushed out of the ground one after another, wreaking havoc and slaughter like a devil, and seeing the world become a devil...

In the face of the invincible Golden Legion, the US government has nothing to do. The only one who can save the world from falling into purgatory is the son of Satan, the Hellboy.

Although he was bleeding from the devil, he had already converted to the kind-hearted red-horned Satan and stepped forward to stand on the side of mankind.

Together with allies of the "Supernatural Research and Development Bureau" such as Flame Girl and Murloc, he will slaughter demons across the yin and yang realms and resist the catastrophe on earth...

Good guy, the second part is much larger than the first part. It looks like there are even some heroes fighting against the BOSS, but the problem is that in addition to the detailed description of Hellboy, the other characters that appeared are all newly added. The attraction is definitely not big.

In other words, it should be that "Iron Man" was released as soon as it was released. It is not clear who the audience is, and not everyone is a loyal comic fan.

But if a single character is shot, the drama is not enough. Because it is not easy to portray, "Hellboy" is not as grand as the Marvel theme, and it is easier to determine the plot.

For a moment, Lehman had a feeling.

The reason for the failure of this "Golden Legion" is that there are too many characters and too complicated to build an impression. The original time and space spent 85 million budgets, and the global total is only 160 million. It is properly compensated for 34 million to 40 million.

But let's not do it. Looking at the positive appearance of the top, it is really difficult to refuse-I don't know what reason to refuse.

After all, I can’t directly say that this project must be extended. At any rate, both of my projects are profitable. The fact that Alfonso has been brought in has also increased the company’s strength and production output in disguise.

Furthermore, not every director has a keen eye for the market, and it is normal to earn and lose.

It was the next day.

"Lonely Castle" and "Golden Legion" were established within Firefly. A budget of 5 million US dollars. Juan did not plan to ask for salary at the beginning. As a result, Lehman gave him 500,000 plus a percentage of the North American box office. No. 3, because this guy is very powerful, and later filmed "Jurassic World 2: The Lost Kingdom", he is not a general tool director, and Lehman intends to win it seriously;

For "Golden Legion", 85 million can't be saved if you want to make an effect. The top has got 8 million salary + part of the production revenue.

In addition, Wen Ziren's "Death Penalty" has been completed, Lehman's own work to be prepared, "Invincible Hulk" directed by Li Press and "Iron Man" waiting to be scheduled, there are six projects in total. There are 10 more and 4 more.

By the end of January, "I Am a Hero", which had been screened for more than a month, had accumulated 270 million in North America, 310 million overseas, and a total of 580 million at the global box office.

Among the several preparatory projects, "Golden Legion" is the fastest to enter the filming stage. As a result, Juan has made more perfection of his screen debut, and how many drafts have been drawn for the storyboards. The starring and supporting roles have not been decided yet. Interviews one by one. As for Lehman, he is currently working as a producer on the "Invincible Hulk" crew, so he should not be too literary when shooting.

Second? The top network is quite wide. With the funds, the crew is quickly formed. The actors are all old acquaintances. A monster professional, Ron Pullman, and Doug Jones. The two have schedules and signed contracts. Just start shooting.

A few days later, "I Am a Hero" officially broke 600 million. For this reason, Lehman had to break away from the crew of "Invincible Hulk" and return to the Firefly Building.

Nothing else, just for the promotion of Zach Schneider.

Still the same sentence, merit is not rewarded, interests are not bound in time, always thinking that giving people an unfair treatment will one day earn points.

Among the allies of Firefly directors, Christopher Nolan is the first to stand out. "The Dark Knight" is 976 million, "The Mystery of the Shadow" is close to 400 million, plus a "Fatal Magic" is 110 million. The salary can't be simpler. The North American sub-account binding is upgraded to omni-channel profit.

And Zach Schneider’s "New York Tour" is 400 million worldwide, "Spartan 300 Warriors" is 478 million, plus the current "I Am a Hero" with a total of more than 600 million, the qualifications are enough.

"Boss, the corresponding terms of cooperation have been worked out. Since then, Zhadao's studio is also a cooperative subsidiary of Man Media, enjoying the channel benefits."

Joseph prepared early and laid out the regulations one by one, showing his sincerity.

In other words, at the level of directors such as Nolan and Zhadao, people can get funds at any time, and whether they can maintain a good cooperative relationship with Firefly. It really depends on the sentiment. It doesn’t work if you don’t respect other people’s ideas. Huairou.

In the afternoon, Lehman called Zha Dao himself, saying that he would celebrate his success.

In the hotel box.

Only Lyman and the Zha Dao who came.

This product has recently become a big show, and ushered in a new round of wooing. In just a few weeks, Warner, Universal, Sony and other studios are enthusiastically approaching him, and even Lionsgate wants to dig a corner.

No, it's the 21st century and there is no slavery system. Zha Dao is a free man, but he cooperates closely with Firefly. It can only be said to be a direct line. Firefly did not prohibit him from cooperating with other companies. what.

Drinking and eating, the atmosphere is relaxed.

For talented people, the world will be more enthusiastic about him, but Lehman is an exception.

When he was full and all the delicacies on the table were withdrawn, Lehman came up with new cooperation terms, which were more generous and relaxed than before.

There is no need to twist and twist the relationship between Yizhadao and Lehman, and agree happily.

Americans don't like to be polite. They always think that if their abilities can match better treatment, they will basically raise them.

Lehman said, "I heard that several studios have been looking for you recently. Have you encountered a project you like?"

Zhadao nodded, talking about this, even with some unconfidence. Lehman rarely saw him not confident, "Warner’s "Watchmen" has found me, and I am hesitating. The project is good. The times like it very much, and I will look at it until now, but I am worried that this story cannot be told because it is too heavy and completely different from the general super-English theme."

Lehman asked, "Have you encountered any problems?"

Director Zha replied: "The story is too long. I feel that it will take at least 4 or 5 hours to make a movie to make it clear. If you cut too much, everyone who likes this comic will hate me, but don’t cut it. More than three hours is a disaster."

In history, countless films with too much content have failed to warn future filmmakers, because the audience’s energy is limited, and the rhythm of the film also pays attention to urgency, so that the audience can relax, so much content at once, who can be completely patient Watch?It's not realistic to rely on fans to pay for works with such a high budget.

In addition, the theaters are not good at arranging movies, and it is likely to reduce the screen share-you arrange a shift, and those 8 or 90-minute movies are shown twice, and the ticket prices are the same, which is quite uneconomical from a profit perspective.

Why do movies have to control the duration?The reason is that simple.

It is the production experience summed up by the market and audience needs to control the projection risk to the greatest extent.

After learning about it, Lehman did not give any good suggestions. It is fine to split the screening into two parts, but Warner's distribution resources are not well coordinated, and the market is not its own...
