Hollywood legendary director

Lyman looked at Joseph Russell when he walked in.

With small eyes and big face, he is not tall among whites, and he is looking at himself with joy.

Lehman came over to see when he heard that the director candidate is about to come out, but he didn't want to be an acquaintance. He has the most collaborations with Marvel in future generations, and the one who has the closest relationship is this one.

According to Kevin's evaluation, this person is obedient and capable, not greedy.

Many directors watched Marvel’s works sell at a high box office, and it’s easy to take the opportunity to open their mouths and demand high scores. Therefore, the co-directors of the Marvel series change frequently, because the Marvel executives know that the biggest guarantee for the box office is this IP. , Not the person who implements IP monetization.

Tools are too expensive, then find cheap and suitable ones.

"Joseph Russell?" Kevin Fitch called out, "Sit down first, let's sit and talk."

Joseph Russell had a heartbeat when he saw Lyman, and he heard that Kevin Fitch had no polite words, as if he was about to go straight to the topic, and sat down in a daze.Wait a minute...Does he want to add a few words first to get some impression points?

Come to think of it, he himself still likes the films directed by Lyman very much, so he should say something.

But the brain is a step slower, and the body is a step faster, so let go.

The combination of this product and his brother Anthony is actually very sensitive, and not so reserved by the filmmakers. For example, when shooting, no other sounds are allowed, and it can also grasp the market trend. It is a relatively shrewd movie. people.

If you just talk about his resume, he is not the most prominent among the candidate directors of the US team. He has made three films, none of which has made a name for himself. He belongs to the kind that has neither the box office nor the reputation.

Later, he moved to TV series, but he mixed well, at least he won't lose money to investors, and he was nominated for an Emmy in comedy category.

Of course, Lehman and Kevin don't care about this. Their selection criteria never say that they need to have a very good work. They have shooting experience and talk about it. It mainly depends on the temperament.

Unsurprisingly, Joseph Russell has nothing to do with what he thinks about the US team when he talks about it. It’s the best way to shoot like this and the audience likes it like that. He never liked to express.

The more we talk, the more satisfied Kevin is. What is satisfied is not the technique, but the attitude. It shows the kind of temperament of the tool man on the set, which makes him feel that it is not easy to quarrel and waste energy in cooperation.

"Director Russell, please wait for the notice. If anything happens, we will contact your agent."

After listening, Joseph felt that he had dealt with it well, and he was powerless to do the rest, and the decision was not in his hands.

After he left, Lehman asked, "How?"

"Let's look at the latter, if there is no more suitable, then choose him."

Lehman just wanted to nod his head, saying that project preparation can be speeded up, assistant Mays knocked on the door and walked in, "Boss, Director Perlman is back."

"Really? Kevin, then I'll pass first." Lyman hurriedly left.

......

Perlman came back a year ago, and even made a phone call to report the situation of the overseas site installation, but Lehman still wanted to meet him very urgently.Because Ya is an individual.

Think about it carefully. For this matter, the company has thrown in more than 200 million yuan, and has to continue to throw in. So far, he hasn't seen the slightest return to throw, but he has never worried about anything.

In the office.

Perlman was already there when Lyman came in.

"Boss." Perlman stood up and greeted.

"You have lost weight." Lehman replied with a smile: "Sit down."

Perlman thanked his seat and sat comfortably on the sofa, feeling relieved.

Although he likes going on business trips and doing field research work, he is not so comfortable after traveling so far away from another country. After a long time, he is not so comfortable, but he does not feel too tired to work hard for his career.

"Coffee." Lehman yelled to the outside room. Assistant Mays quickly offered it, and then stepped out.

After Perlman took a few sips, Lehmann asked, "How is the situation on your side?"

"The 20 million approved last month is almost spent again." Perlman put down his cup. "Is the company's circulating funds still sufficient?"

"You can rest assured that the company's financial situation is very healthy, and Marvel Entertainment is also operating well. The comics department had a net income of 13 million last month. The effect of the sinking of the entire channel and the gradual development of the distribution system have driven Multi-directional income output, now the company's capital chain is extremely stable."

Perlman was happy to listen, and he was completely confident in the decision to start overseas deployment one and a half years earlier—at least it did not hinder the development of the company.

"How many are arranged now?"

"Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the mainland, the other is Russia, India, Italy, Audrey and other 43 regions have our people."

Perlman took out a stack of lists from his briefcase with some contentment.

I saw the distribution of sites and employees in various places as well as the contacts between hospitals and publishing forces in various places. A glance at it can roughly understand the prototype of the overseas network developed by Perlman and the team.

However, when it really comes in handy, the upstream and downstream capital businessmen have to taste the benefits of cooperating with Mann Media, otherwise they will not spend resources to help promote it.

It is as if the films imported from other regions have always been recognized by the American market. Many overseas audiences think that the proportion of bad Hollywood films is small, but how is that possible.

There are more bad films than good films in the world's film market. The reason for this illusion is that failed works will never be introduced.If you don't introduce it, of course there is no bad movie to watch.

You know, since Spielberg's "Jaws" filmed at a small cost and gained high profits, in the past ten or twenty years, Hollywood has produced no less than a thousand works of sea monsters, and several of them are for overseas audiences. of?

Otherwise, Hollywood will not close down so many production companies every year, and it is not being scammed and the audience will not buy it.

While Lehman watched it, Perlman explained, “I still use the single online and offline method. I set up a company first and then recruit local employees with distribution experience. I’m not in a hurry to use our company’s name.”

"Well, this is right." Lehman agreed.

What he wants is a reliable, stable, efficient, and temporarily concealed distribution network. He will definitely not be able to make the name of Man Media. Only when everything is ready and he really wants to start overseas business in person, the change of the door will be an instant. thing.

"You are cautious, but how long will it take to get through other areas?" Lehman asked again.

"It will take at least 7 or 8 months. The remaining places are where the film market is more complicated, such as South America and some small European countries. For funding, it will cost 40 to 50 million."

"Why is South America in trouble?"

"I went to find out that there are almost no local powers over there. They are all entertainment markets such as theater chains and audiovisual products built by distributors such as the Big Five and Sony Records. If you don't want to startle, you need to be more careful."

Lehman was quite surprised, but think about it, it seems that the back gardens of American capital are all too close to the United States. It is not incomprehensible, "It’s good for you to have a sense of measure, and the company will provide you with financial protection. Others will trouble you. Up."

"Don't worry, boss, I will build our own overseas distribution network in the middle of next year." Perlman couldn't help expressing his opinion.

"I believe in you, you will be responsible for this in the future." Lehman promised.
