Hollywood legendary director

When "Death Penalty" saw a 27% drop in the box office the following week, Firefly found several media outlets and issued an announcement, that is, "Director Lyman's new work is determined to be a science fiction theme, and Edward Norton and Hilary Swank will join the cast ."

The financial market is still brewing, and a small number of people’s carnival has already begun, but for ordinary movie fans, they are more concerned about Lehman’s new work than Bear Stearns’ downfall, because no one is affected, they are combined The Fed handled it perfectly.

New line studio.

The interior of the ninth district in "The Ninth District" is being set up, but Lehman is starting to plan the schedule of the movie and release news of cooperation to the outside world, and soon he has the initiative to contact many studios.

Anyway, since joining forces with Lionsgate to open overseas markets, Firefly has received more and more attention, especially Lehman’s project is more qualified to provide more conditions.

And one of them is that this Christmas cannot be less than the five-week schedule.

Originally, Lehman wanted to find Fox to cooperate, but they may have planned the schedule and hesitated.

Lehman didn't want to procrastinate, so he directly found the private number of global senior Nassim Ellison and called it.

"Hi, Nasim, is it convenient for you now, this is Lyman?"

"Well, what?"

"I have a science fiction work with a budget of 130 million yuan and I want to find your cooperation. Do you want the right to distribute the project?"

"Ahem..." Nasim-Ellison didn't go well in a breath. He was confused by the news. Under normal circumstances, who knew that Lehman was calling for a new project, he still wanted Talking about the Hulk, because this was the case for several calls.

It’s mid-March now, not far from the summer vacation.

As for the new project, the news released by Firefly before, of course, Universal knows that although the specific content of "District Nine" is confidential, the main creative of Lehman + Edward + Hillary is enough to make people look forward to, after all, Lehman directed science fiction The last part of the horror is "The Mist", with a global score of more than 400 million, is it guaranteed?

"Of course, do you want me to come over?"

"Can you free Christmas this year?" Lehman reminded.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that our company really doesn't have any plans for Christmas. It's okay to spare 5 weeks for the only announcement period."

Universal's production pressure this year is quite heavy, because Universal is a studio that prefers to produce low-cost comedies. It does not produce many blockbusters independently every year, and it is far less powerful and courageous than Warner and Paramount.

Coupled with the success of Lionsgate's breakthrough, Firefly's situation has become more detached-the two big-selling projects have paved the overseas interest network, and the global attitude towards Lehman is also the mainstay. It is still very enthusiastic to hear about this.

Lehman hummed and said: "It's not easy to talk in detail on the phone. I think we should make an appointment for a formal talk. What do you mean?"

Nassim replied excitedly: "Do you think tomorrow is OK?"

If it is a formal negotiation, he still has to talk to the board of directors and other department executives.

"Okay, let's meet tomorrow morning in the studios of Universal Pictures."

......

For Wen Ziren, the recent days have been very comfortable, busy and happy.

After "Death Penalty" was released, he was either interviewing or drafting every day, or he went to major cities to run the theater line, platform publicity, and then watched the box office performance slowly rise.

This kind of accumulation, Perlman, who is thousands of miles away, also deeply understands.

Since taking up the task and contacting overseas publishers to establish a global distribution network, his workload is also very large, but his salary and benefits are also improving rapidly, including the company's status and the right to speak.

He knows that when he completes this, he will become the general manager of the film and television copyright department. This is the promise of the boss to him, so he is particularly passionate and this is also the accumulation of his career.

Island country, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Toho Corporation.

This media company is now Japan's largest film company with the most movie theaters and box office revenue.

And Toho also makes full use of its own distribution and projection system (which has 350 theaters in total) to screen works produced by other companies and independent producers, reducing its own investment in filming.

Among them, in the overseas business, most of the films distributed by Toho are foreign films, especially American films, while focusing on the development of film cooperation with foreign countries.

Well, Lionsgate is cooperating with this company, so Perlman also came to Tokyo after spending half a year fixing distribution sites in China, South Korea, Singapore and other regions.

Then came the pace of process, renting a business floor, recruiting local film talent registration companies in Japan, hiding the firefly capital, and then contacting strong local distributors, such as Toho Club.

In doing so, it is similar to the Lions Gate's routine, and it does not reveal its intentions until the distribution network is fully formed.

There are so many film companies established every year, who would think so much.

Anyway, the initial stage is just to invest money, organize the promotion team, and get in touch with the publisher.

In the temporary office, Perlman quickly received several job resumes.

There are also many film practitioners in Japan. They don’t need to dig people. They can directly post recruitment information and choose from them. Anyway, the local people in these areas are just communication tools. The site director will still be transferred by the parent company internally, organized by Perlman. Those team configurations are the same, unless it is proved that they have the ability to go up, it will not harm the company's interests.

But now there is not even a specific project, and it seems that there is no benefit or benefit.

Outside the door, Yuichiro Ida looked at the somewhat "shabby" interior scene, and for a moment he hesitated whether to enter.

Wouldn't it be a liar, the one who just runs away?he thinks.

There are also a lot of troubles in the Japanese film industry. There are still many scammers who take a specious movie script to attract investment when it comes to filming.

However, the salary conditions in the recruitment information are quite attractive, 900,000 yen per month, and the requirement is to engage in film distribution and related businesses for more than 5 years, and he has also met.

Holding it all, looking at the situation, Ida Yuichiro knocked on the door and stepped into the office.

Inside, Perlman was looking through Toho's personnel information, and when he saw someone applying for another job, he pointed his finger to the seat in front of him, and when he was seated, he said, "Did you bring your resume?"

"Take it." Ida Yuichiro respectfully handed it.

Perlman took it, took a closer look, and then asked, "Why did you leave at Nikkatsu Co., Ltd. for 8 years?"

"Because of some housework, I took the initiative to resign."

After some discussion, Perlman kindly asked him to leave. After sorting out the job applicants he received over the past three days, he picked two of the best impressions. One of them was Yuichiro Ida.

What's left is to get acquainted with the distribution department of Toho, and then wait until the sites in other regions are established one by one...
