Hollywood legendary director

When Lehman left the screening room and returned to his office, assistant Mays quickly brought two bottles of water to Lehman and greeted Liam with him.

Lehman nodded, drank some water to moisturize his throat, and quickly asked, "What's the situation in the theater? What are they going to do?"

"The best central city theaters, the most gears and the number of theaters up to 4550." Liam was still very excited.

"For the promotion, remember to connect with Columbia. Also, have the people from China Film kept?"

"Retained, their plane the day after tomorrow will go to Colombia to sign a screening contract tomorrow." Liam replied.

"That's good, we will contact them later. Don’t look at the current mainland movie market is less than one-tenth of North America, the output value is even less than one-fifth (the mainland The copyright market does need time to perfect), but their room for growth is still very broad. With such a large population, their film market cannot be underestimated.

As I have always emphasized, the company should allow the interest groups over there to better accept our business. The national conditions over there are different. Some things are more important than benefits. Don’t pay attention to this. No matter how you do it, the foundation is not stable after all.

You should understand what I'm saying. I don't want employees in the company to say something inappropriate, especially the person in charge of the site over there. It is more important to check, and don't get involved in a fool who speaks about international politics at will.

The public opinion over there is also sensitive to this matter, and has a strong awareness of maintaining the country’s political system. Like Colombia’s emphasis on showing good, we are also actively learning. All our preparations and layouts must always keep those red lines in mind. You too This is the way to make it clear to the team responsible for promotion in mainland China."

Liam nodded as he listened, "Relax, disregard the company's interests and stand in line to publish private goods to please some people. I will strictly guard against such people from appearing on our distribution team."

"It's fine with your heart. Let's go."

Liam was taken aback, "Where?"

"Go talk to the people from China Film."

"Will it be too urgent, I plan to have a dinner for them tonight."

"The banquet is arranged as usual. It's not long after the trial screening of the film just ended. Doesn't it seem that we value them and are more sincere?"

"Yes, yes." The boss has said so, and the potential market of less than 13% of the accounts needs to be managed well.

......

The preview of "Avatar" is very good, which is also very useful for China Film.

The schedule approaching the end of the year means that their targets are full again, and how to make the 10-year introduction film is a matter of careful consideration.

And "Avatar" can undoubtedly make a good start (not to mention that it is squeezing the mainland market after the introduction. Although it is true from the results, it is because of the fact that it is facing Hollywood blockbusters at any time. Mainland movies Talents will be aggressive and eager to make progress. Moreover, this is a sacrifice of trade bundling, and it is hard to refuse).

Of course, some of the film purchasing managers of China Film had planned to negotiate with Colombia earlier, and then went back to early gear, but when they were preparing to leave, they were left by the firefly people first, and their boss wanted to meet. See, but this thing reveals something unusual no matter how you look at it.

After all, in the eyes of China Film, whether fireflies or Colombia, they are all "partners" that have cooperated in the business field. It doesn't matter how close they are, but the two studios are relatively "obedient." "I haven't made some red line errors, so relatively speaking, I have a little bit more dealings.

After being a little strange, the film purchasing manager of China Film Group immediately went to ask the organization for instructions, and the answer was that the attitude was calm.

Ever since, the people from China Film also waited for a while in the room arranged by Firefly to see what Firefly wanted to do.

"Speak as little as possible and listen more." China Film's team leader warned: "The American emperor will never die. These capitalists are very flexible in some aspects and can easily confuse people."

"We understand."

Everyone was speculating wildly, and Lyman and Liam walked in with a smile.

"Sorry, neglect."

"Where, where." The team leader of China Film Group seemed to smile, "The two are here, maybe it's not for "Avatar". Don't worry, we are ready to arrange the release on January 6th and there will be no delay."

"Our cooperation has always been pleasant." Lehman said, not planning to talk more about "Avatar".

Of course, China Film is really refreshing-the Spring Festival file is the hottest time for watching movies in the mainland.

But Lehman is not for this. Colombia will take care of overseas affairs anyway. He doesn’t have to worry about too much. So he stopped this topic and hinted, “I don’t know if you know if our company intends to set foot overseas. Issuance? At that time, you still need your support."

The subordinates sitting next to the team leader suddenly realized, what they thought they were doing, they really wanted something...

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, if you encounter any trouble, you can call me." The team leader is also a master of blank checks, seemingly very enthusiastic in reply.

"Rest assured, this will not make it difficult for you. I vaguely know that you are very supportive of Sino-US co-production?"

As soon as the Chinese and American co-productions came out, the team leader’s smile was a little stiff. In recent years, the United States has always wanted to learn from its industrial chain and industrialized production methods, because no one wants to use their country’s film market. Let out.

In the era of blockbuster film, there is no shortage of good special effects talents in the mainland. In fact, part of the special effects work of "Avatar" is outsourced to the mainland Chinese crows, but there are very few talents behind the scenes and filmmakers familiar with special effects, and the foundation is not strong. , Let alone build tall buildings?

Among other things, the Hollywood filmmaking model involves the participation of various guilds, and there is no need to maintain so many personnel expenditures-a blockbuster film is also the effort of hundreds of people, but the studio only needs to hold the head. A dozen people in the department can produce a professional team, and many things can be outsourced.

Among them, brokerage companies and guilds such as CAA have helped a lot, but in the Mainland, even the actors are owned by film companies. This is not clear.

By comparison, we know that operating costs are too wide, the burden is heavy, and it is not flexible enough.

However, although Sino-US co-production is a good thing to promote, we can cultivate talents through the already mature system of the United States, but the problem is that the co-production projects in recent years have been pitted. Even if you don’t make money, you don’t learn much. Instead, they are attracted by capitalists. The use of support policies is convenient.

The team leader thought that Lehman wanted to enjoy the screening tilt in this way, so he was a little repulsive.

But who knows...
