Hollywood legendary director

Regardless of reason or emotion, when it was learned that Europa Pictures was forced to cut production and lay off staff, and the pressure on the production had increased, Lehmann became the first director candidate for the director of "Super Body" and the entire production team instead. Besson.

The reason is not all what Johnson said. In fact, the reason he heard that the additional rights beyond the director’s compensation did not give up decisively is that Lehman knew that he would have less trouble in controlling the crew and would be easy, and Johnson would not be sure of this. .

In other words, if a project can be successful without him worrying too much, a little extra investment is totally worth it in his opinion.

He is too busy.

From September to December, the publicity plan of at least 5 movies will definitely occupy a lot of his energy, and it is very necessary for him to reduce some schedules.

Therefore, when Lehmann understood the cause and effect of the incident, he still decided to contact Luc Besson, but Johnson was a little confused.

On the one hand, the client did not listen to the opinions of professionals like him from his own perspective, or that the pertinent proposal was rejected, and was a little disappointed; on the other hand, if Lehmann was not the kind of person who likes to promote acquaintances and His attitude towards work seems to have fallen short of his high position in CAA today. From this point of view, he is unclear and gratified after being denied.

Many colleagues understand that if CAA is not to win over Lehman's production business priority, how can he have such a higher level of resources, power and salary of matching status.

Even he himself has become the favorite discussion object of many employees who started from the mail room, and many agents who want to make a name in the circle also envy his good luck.

"Since you think Luc Besson's guidance is better, we can also provide behind-the-scenes packaging services. If there is a demand for the project, we will personally talk to him and listen to his requirements."

Johnson finished speaking, stood up and said goodbye.

Anyway, what kind of staffing and shooting situation a crew will ultimately be can’t be solved in a day or two.

When Johnson left, Lyman continued to lie halfway in the boss chair, thinking about "Super Body".

Since it is to support Scarlett, it is to enhance the sense of Marvel's camp and the charm of the screen presented to the audience in the black widow corner, so the role-playing role has actually got a direction, and from the feedback received today, Luc Besson will most likely be a choice, and Lehmann has some shooting plans for the project. If he really agrees, he will not be unwilling.

Since the establishment of the studio label, he has not been a pure director. Of course, the years when he was a director were a bit tacky in the eyes of many traditional French film critics.

However, this cheesy person is not small in promoting the international image of French films.

Again, art can be just art, but without commercial drive, art will not last.

After all, no industry grows and grows on the basis of enthusiasm, loss, and no profit return...

"You have to have money before you can shoot what you like. If you don't have money, you can't make high-quality content. I'm sorry for the hard work these years."

Lehman sighed.

Looking through the box office of "Despicable Me" in the new week, this animation has also exceeded 100 million in North America, and its ability to harvest the box office has slightly declined.

Apart from these, the sales of the corresponding derivative toys reached 142 million US dollars in the next week, and the lighting entertainment as the authorized party recorded at least 44.8 million.

After knowing the profit prospects of this project in mind, Christopher Mairedandre, as the project leader, believes that there is room for the minions to tap the market potential, and plans to add more minions in the second part of the scene. The shooting proposal of the lens was naturally recognized by Lehman.

It took some time to follow up and deal with some matters that required his signature. Lehman then left the office and went straight to the Blue Butterfly Pictures office building.

"The Lost Lover" moved to the late stage in early August, and the schedule for the film is worry-free.

And in this regard, as their second work to develop overseas distribution business, Lehman is naturally concerned.

Seeing Liam, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Our production process hasn't deviated much. If nothing happens, it will be September 3."

In September’s autumn schedule, not only can there be some residual warmth that belongs to the summer file, but also in the theater arrangement, there will not be too many rivals competing for the screen. For a medium-produced movie, this time period is definitely Able to play.

"But." Liam, who felt the puzzled look cast by Lehman, had a clear arrangement for the entire announcement plan, quickly said: "Limited by our overseas channels, the overseas box office of "Despicable Me" compares with North America. On the other hand, it's actually pretty average."

This result can be regarded as a loss to lay the foundation. Overseas publicity resources do need time to sink. Regarding this matter, Liam was helpless but also took a shot in advance to prevent the boss from being dissatisfied with the results. After all, 10 The days have passed. "Despicable Me" has exceeded 100 million in North America, but it is less than 50 million overseas. It is very likely that the proportion of box office at home and abroad will be out of balance (especially compared to Disney cartoons).

"In terms of channel business, we still need time to operate."

"I understand that any business has a gradual process."

Lehman is not dissatisfied with this. A new distribution network is bound to have some things that it cannot take care of in the early stage. This is normal. Otherwise, he will not carefully select a few medium-sized investment word-of-mouth functions for the early overseas release. template.

"But don’t worry, boss, there’s no problem with the quality of the film controlled by Director David. All three of us (Blue Butterfly, North American theaters, and overseas channels) have all looked at it. Nothing will happen, especially the boss you mentioned. The slogan for couples: Verification of love, we have thought about it, and we will definitely make some noise."

The main creator of "The Lost Lover"’s ability to play a leading role in the box office is actually not very good. David Fincher has a lot of fans, but there are more people who don’t like the style of his work. The reason is that his personal style is too strong; Ben Affleck and Rosamund Parker, one is going downhill. Since "Fahrenheit 9/11", the starring at the box office has not exceeded 100 million yuan, and the other is because her husband has a good relationship with David and is After graduating from a prestigious school, there is no need to pretend to be a master (Rosa’s husband is Joe White who filmed Pride and Prejudice).

In other words, a relationship accountant with acting experience, of course, David thinks she is suitable and indeed fits. Of course Lehman will not be disappointed. The director is also a human being. If he is a human being, he will have affection. Hollywood is no exception. Circles are very popular.
