Hollywood legendary director

After Factory Manager Han went to the bottom of his doubts, Tan Xing was even higher, and he chatted with Lyman for a long time before ending the meeting.

What Lehman didn't know was that the moment he walked into the China Film Building, it reached the ears of the caring people.

Inside Huayi Building.

Liu Tao, the co-general manager of the artist department, received an order from the big boss, Comrade Wang, to coordinate the schedules of his artists, with the purpose of focusing on the role of "Pacific Rim".

Yes, if you participate in the investment or not, the artist resources Huayi is quite rich.

Just a few months after being listed on the market, Huayi’s influence has reached its peak. It has recruited a large number of powerful and well-known actors and talents in the circle.

That morning, Liu Taogang greeted several in-house brokers, Shantou, and went to the office of Comrade Wang to report.

"All orders go down, but who do our main push?"

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"Li Bingbing, she is more suitable."

"Well, you take her to do more activities, how about it, you still have to see the ideas of Zhongying and Firefly, we can try our best."

As a first-line actress in the mainland, she has experience in Hollywood crews, and she is also the top artist in Huayi. Combining these aspects, she does have the best chance of winning.

"Boss, I heard that there has been an official talk with China Film?"

"Well, tonight, there will be a cocktail party for the creator of "Avatar", and there will be attendance there too. Then, I will take you with Li Bingbing, and you will figure out how to make contact and leave a good impression."

......

In the evening, Lyman, who had adapted to this kind of place, still felt a little bit exhausted by the casual communication.

Except for China Film, almost all of the powerful entertainment companies in the mainland have come. On the contrary, they are the well-dressed actresses. Lehman did not pay much attention. After staying in Hollywood for a long time, this pink attack has no effect on Lehman. On the contrary, I had a good chat with Comrades Wang Daxiao and Mr. Bernard Yu Dong.

No need, the director Han also mentioned that Bernard and the Huayihui jointly invested in Chinese funds, but they did not occupy the copyright and participated in the project as a regional co-producer.

On the next day, with the vigorous promotion of China Film and other theaters, the screening of "Avatar" successfully aroused great momentum.

......

At the hotel, Lehmann was chatting with the top to shoot.

This product has now entered a working state, holding the script in his hand and conceiving a specific imaging effect in his mind, because it is a co-production, the formulation of the lens should be more detailed for the photographer to understand.

He was sitting on the sofa and was discussing with the production manager of his studio, and Lehmann also made some comments from time to time.

"...Mr. Rust, how are the staffing arrangements? How are the Chinese film crews managed?"

"Don't worry, you will take care of the people on our side, and China Film will be responsible for them.

Lehman's opinion is simple, separate management, so that you can avoid conflicts caused by different shooting habits.

Apart from other things, Hollywood staff are much more lazy. Overtime is considered overtime, and they are not necessarily happy. Moreover, the eating habits of the two parties are also different, and the meals must be differentiated. There are always a lot of trivial matters. They are in charge of their own. Anyway, when shooting, everyone can divide the labor reasonably and do what they should do. Others don't matter.

It was also on this basis that Lehmann had held several small meetings with the China Film and Television Conference, and the crew framework was quickly set up.

However, in this process, the energy that "Avatar" exploded in the mainland exceeded too many people's expectations.

Early in the morning on January 7.

The box office after the first day's release was quickly collected by many media people-35 million in a single day, which directly drove the single-day box office record of the mainland film market. What is even more frightening is that other films have been compressed to all add up to the cumulative box office. Less than 1 million, so that it can be ignored in the statistical report.

Yes, if I really want to explain, it seems that all the theater audiences in China are watching a movie on this day, and its name is "Avatar".

"This kind of performance, "October Siege" is over." Someone shook his head in the film area of ​​a news editorial department. "It's over 80% of the decline. I can't stand it."

Although Firefly reached a cooperative deal with Bernard a few days ago and bought out the US distribution rights for the film, after the release of "Avatar", "October Siege" became a scheduled cannon fodder, and there was never a profit. He may have been sentenced to death, but he was unlucky.

When the news of the explosion in the mainland and Japan reached the United States, it deeply stimulated the studio owners over there.

No way, the decline of "Avatar" is small, and even zero declines and reverse declines are often seen. After breaking 1 billion in 17 days, someone suddenly told them that China and Japan jointly contributed a single day of box office of 8.6 million US dollars. That becomes more exaggerated.

More importantly, the information revealed from it is surprising-the Chinese film market has doubled for several years in a row, and since the beginning of 10 years, such market potential has erupted, and there is a kind of snowball. Big trend, it’s really hard to say where the upper limit of "Avatar" is...

But there is one thing that the American film media knows. The box office of "Avatar" has approached the 1.5 billion mark in less than four weeks after the screening. Suspense suddenly not so high for breaking the record of "Titanic".

After all, according to this trend-it has been so many days, 3D shows are still full, and a ticket is hard to find. It is conceivable how strong the audience's desire to watch the movie. In other words, the ticket warehouses in overseas regions such as Britain, France, It seems very likely that Germany, Italy, China, Japan, South Korea and other regions will each contribute 100 million US dollars in the box office. Especially in France, if it is optimistic, there is a high probability of 150 million.

Based on this estimation, these places add up to a box office market of at least 700 million yuan. The remaining 80 places are 600 million yuan, which is not a big problem. North America and Canada have now won 360 million yuan. According to the trend of decline, it has broken 600 million is easy, 700 million is not difficult...

In other words, the outbreak of China and Japan directly pushed "Avatar" to a target of more than 2 billion.

What is the concept of 2 billion?

The threshold for winning the first place, the case that the box office market is destined to be included in movie history, and the offline market and surrounding development that means more than 6 billion yuan behind the box office mean that there is a gold mine in the film library of Firefly Pictures-don't forget , "Avatar" has a sequel plan.

The same is true. Under the fiery results that China Film could not predict, some people became more enthusiastic about the so-called co-production special effects blockbuster "Pacific Rim", and fell into an indescribable fantasy——

Exciting, deep stimulus, 35 million stimulus in a single day, outrageous record than the big ship, whoever changes will have to weigh again.

Lehman is busier, but the pace of new projects is accelerating...
