Hollywood legendary director

"There is no accurate information over there?"

"Didn't they already go back? There will be no problems, are they not willing to such a sincere project?"

"Still discussing? Okay, I see."

When Lehman hung up the phone, he had a new understanding of the so-called organization: Although strong, he also had the style of state-owned enterprises.

Since the initial contact that day, three days have passed, and there has been no formal response. Such progress will feel too slow for people like Lehmann who are used to quick decisions and quick execution without hesitation.

After all, when the China Film Group's film purchase leader left, a first edition of the cooperation document was accompanied by the "Pacific Rim" script outline and the target audience market research expectations. It can be said that many things can be judged from it.

It is not difficult to see that Firefly really wants to cooperate-Lehman also wants to use this series to deepen his influence in Asia and the ability of distribution business, so the proposed terms have taken care of China Film.

In other words, while making friends with interest, concentrating advantages and resources, and jointly expanding the profit pie, help yourself. However, "Pacific Rim" is expected to spend at least 150 million in production costs, and China Film will also invest at least 50 million US dollars. It seems that it is not so easy to make up your mind...

Ending the conversation with Liam, near noon, a middle-aged white man of about 40 years old sat in Lehman's office.

This is Dimon, Joseph, who is responsible for the promotion of Marvel's apparel channel, dug from Macy's. He officially took office last Friday. In addition to the basic annual salary of 3 million, the salary composition that will be linked to apparel profits is also his determined job the reason.

"Boss, I plan to go to China tomorrow to learn about our foundry there, as well as the style and quality of clothes, and determine the corresponding wholesale prices. In addition, our own stores are still too few, high-consumption cities on the east and west coasts There are only 4 companies in total, and the gap is very large. This part also needs to be managed well."

Dimon spent some time handing over work, got familiar with the business of Marvel Apparel, and quickly entered the state, starting to tell his thoughts from the business direction.

"Don't worry, we will support whatever you want. By the way, our products are mostly casual t-shirts. The cost is very low. The average price is 2 US dollars, and the price is about 33 US dollars. Do you think the market will be big?"

Dimon thought about it for a while and replied: "The mid-range low price range is mainly aimed at young people. There are many competitive clothing brands, but our advantage is that we can draw on the popularity of movies and superheroes. Element develops the fan market, even if it does not necessarily occupy a high share, it should not be difficult to gain a firm foothold. In the future, it will gradually change from relying on distribution to direct operation. If the profit range is expanded, the revenue may be considerable."

"In short, you just need to manage these things. You don't have to worry about movies. I'm very satisfied that every time a project cooperates with the promotion can give fans one more consumer choice." Lehman never thought of becoming a new in the apparel market. Wang, he doesn't have high requirements for this area, anyway, he is also training fans and earning fans' money.

The two chatted briefly, Dimon said goodbye and left, and Lyman began to review the documents again.

The teams dispatched to overseas regional sites will arrive at work in the spring of next year, but before that, the arrangement of allowances and salaries has already begun, and he needs to sign the expenditure documents.

After finishing this, the outside world is already very lively.

......

After the promotion of "Avatar" started, a large amount of money was smashed, and it quickly attracted the hearts of countless audiences.

Cameron’s new film, unparalleled visual spectacle, and the first film made with 3D technology all the way... all these propaganda hot spots have all aroused the expectations of the audience.

The talked-about screening specifications, such as the imax cinema + 3D viewing template, have long been emphasized by cinema dealers countless times.

According to the theater operator, if you watch "Avatar" without the use of iamx projection equipment, you won't be able to enjoy the most extreme visual impression.

Of course, the iamx cinema is a new thing after all. In any case, it is incomparable with the number of ordinary cinemas. In fact, when this set of viewing theory is spread everywhere, several major ticketing websites in the United States released iamx. Tickets for the theater have been booked until a week after the screening. That's it, many viewers are still trying to experience the so-called deep immersion.

In previous lives, many viewers would choose to watch an iamx movie theater after watching "Avatar" in ordinary theaters. This is also one of the factors that contributed to the box office explosion. From this perspective, technological advancement can indeed generate huge profits. space.

Similar novel experiences and repeated broadcasts of information channels form the basis of this effect. Fortunately, everyone has the same purpose and did a good job.

For example, when Lehman went out and turned around, he found that he was surrounded by the news of the release of "Avatar", not to mention the movie fans who like to surf the Internet on weekdays, presumably they have been receiving good news about the film.

However, in the context of the movie market that is being created, by the end of the year, Oscar movies gradually dominated the mainstream screens, and because of the theme market, the box office was not good.

Previously hit films like "2012" are gradually losing ground. "I am a legend" will soon be painted with a score of 314 million in North America and 737 million globally. The entire North America seems to be waiting for "Avatar" to rescue the market. At that time, the North American market was less than 90 million, a 34% drop compared with the same period last year, which is relatively sluggish.

After learning that the "Avatar" internal screening was very successful, other studios were afraid to send their masterpieces to compete.

Among them, the mood of Disney executives is undoubtedly the most complicated. In order to win Cameron, they set so many conditions and helped him to shoot several 3D documentary experimental films. As a result, the project expenditures were beyond expectations. There was no courage. Lehman took over.

The point is, it seems to be quite successful is the most angry.

Do you want to make a movie? Before the final product came out, I was betting on how confident I was. What’s more dramatic is that, if the "Avatar" scores are outstanding, then there is no surprise, except for these winners, Disney It will also be the negative case of losers, which is repeatedly arranged and mocked by industry insiders in their spare time.

However, when such feelings of joy or sorrow or expectation were rising, David Fincher received an invitation inexplicably.

"Huh? Firefly wants me to direct a movie?"

Hearing the fireflies, what David can think of for a moment is the appearance of Pete shaking his head unhappily-this guy is an old partner with Pete.

Of course, as a director, I met a strong studio, and I definitely wouldn't answer without understanding anything.

"Talk carefully, man."
