Hollywood legendary director

Lyman knew about the strength of Chris Weitz, and when Ryan came back to relay his verbal wishes, he immediately asked Johnson to interview Chris' agent.

There is nothing to say in this regard. "Golden Compass" definitely has an impact on the career. After two rounds of talks, Chris Weitz's director salary is set at 6.5 million, without any share of accounts (he enjoys the project offline in "American Pie" Earnings), and also gave the crew the treatment, which means that the team in his studio can enter the "New Moon" set.

Mainly, he thinks that the people behind the scenes he is familiar with are competent, and he determines the salary position. Of course, Firefly will also send finance and production, and it is impossible to organize it at will, but it also stipulates that it does not interfere with the shooting without deviating from the shooting plan.

This kind of trust is nothing to Firefly, but after experiencing Warner's strong production team, Chris Weitz is even more useful, and he also encourages him not to fail anymore and to film seriously.

Another day, after the "New Moon" project was established, Chris made a small request, but the "Twilight" series also attracted his brother Paul Weitz, who wanted to become one of the producers.

This is a trivial matter, and this person's experience lies there, Lehman agreed.

Chris was overjoyed and thanked his brother.

Lehman smiled, "I still need him to help me deal with the trivial matters of the crew and to deal with the fire insurance review. You only need to be able to direct and transfer to the late stage before the summer next year. Are there any questions?"

"Enough, I have the confidence to complete."

It took more than 5 months to make a Marie Su movie, and there were not many transitions. In fact, it was very generous.

......

The time came to December 26, as the "Ninth District" entered the final few days of the countdown, "New Moon" heroine Stewart joined the crew with a salary of 6 million, the male lead Pattinson rose to 7.5 million, and many others The total spending on supporting roles also exceeded 4.5 million.

As a result, the shooting difficulty of the second part is not high, the special effects scenes are only a little more, and the production cost has also been raised from 35 million to 51 million.This is within a reasonable range.

But both Lionsgate and Firefly are optimistic about the profitability of "New Moon".

After all, the first film has a foundation, and it has swept more than 400 million. It has the bonus of the Firefly label and the novel author Stephanie relied on "Lunar Eclipse" to save more book fans. When the series is more popular, money Jing is very optimistic.

Firefly Building.

Liam is reporting on the offline operation of "District Nine", "The North American score of the film should be fixed at 277 million, 295 million overseas, and 572 million globally. Starting from January 5, the first two million sets of hardcover DVDs will be sold by PepsiCo. Channel stores such as Da, Netflix, etc. will be sold to the market within 30 days, and the number of people renting and watching movies on demand will only increase."

In the office, several executives from Blue Butterfly Pictures waited for the boss to finish, and then gave a more detailed explanation. The atmosphere was slightly relaxed.

No way, the word-of-mouth of "District Nine" is so good, and it is still in the upper rankings of IMDBtop250, and many fans have expressed their willingness to buy a collection.

Even in 2008, due to the continued development of streaming media and the Internet, DVD sales were actually affected, because more and more fashionable young people like to pay on Netflix and watch them when they want to watch it with a computer, but this power Not enough to change the offline layout.

"The Lionsgate, have you talked to them?"

"Well. Several regions overseas have finished, and they are also very busy now, but overall, the operation of the "Ninth District" is fairly smooth."

"How about the split?"

Liam took out the project income statement, "The copyright part is not easy to develop, and it is a pity that it is difficult to always find points with topical discussion value in the Ninth District. Although the follow-up trend is smooth, it is more than 3,000. Wan can break the box office record of R-rated movies, otherwise, relying on this can finally make a hype."

"We can't touch porcelain deliberately. This can only be the limitation of the work itself. "The Ninth District" is not liked by female audiences." Lehman responded casually and accepted the initial stage of the company's "The Ninth District". Income situation-

North American theaters divided 110.8 million, overseas theaters took 147.5 million, and 313.7 million producers. Lionsgate took another 29.5 million, deducting 130 million production expenses, 47 million publicity expenses, and 107.2 million fireflies.

Anyway, it is expected that this ticket will bring Lionsgate a profit of no less than 88.5 million U.S. dollars, and Firefly will be able to reap 24075 million in the next three years with the "Ninth District" under the box office share.

It can only be said that such a return did not disappoint Lehman.

As Jon Fellermei said, the end of the year can be spent in a better mood.

Lehman put the report aside, pondered for a while, and asked: "Is there a plan for the bonus arrangement for the film crew and the distribution team? Those who perform well can calculate the year-end bonus together."

"In this regard, President Joseph and the financial department have been discussing for a while, and he has a better grasp of these personnel rewards or job transfers." Liam replied.

"Your issuing department sorted it out by yourself first, and then handed over the list to Joseph. The various branches of the company should be based on their respective income and expenditure." Skip this not very good topic, Lehman said again : "How about "Museum Surprise Night 2"?"

"It will be released in mid-January next year. There will be the first primer, and the audience should not be small, provided the quality and jokes are guaranteed."

"It's fine if you are responsible for contacting people from Mubao and Lionsgate." Lehman said with a slight emotion: There will be more production projects next year, and I hope that the performance can be improved again.

In 2009, it was really a big year for Mann Media.

The confirmed projects include "Museum 2", "Twilight 2", "Beauty Team", "Thor", "I Am a Legend" and TV series supplementing Marvel's worldview can also be put on the agenda.

For example, "Hell's Kitchen" has always achieved results with previous lives. Although "Roaring Squadron" is a bit overwhelming and not eye-catching, at least the Aegis Director has deepened the personality, and Ma's Fakxia is initially known to more audiences. , Like it, it is no longer so insignificant when the movie series is still very few.

Counting it down, next year's "American Team" will be released, and Agent Carter can also join the appearance of "S.H.I.E.L.D." and the sequel to "Hell's Kitchen", and continue to deepen the background on the basis of Daredevil...

Marvel has more than 5,000 characters, not all characters are suitable for the main universe movie, but it does not mean that they have no development value.

After all, the strongest thing about Marvel is its snowballing ability, and its popularity will expand at a speed beyond everyone's imagination, Lehman promises.

"The "Museum" needs high-intensity and large-scale publicity more than "The Ninth District."

"Rest assured, starting next week we will change our propaganda model and continue to bombard with higher exposure."

"Yeah." Lehman rubbed his brows to affirm.
