Hollywood legendary director

"Fox really has the intention to cooperate, and now it is fine to deduct the contract."

Things are going to be done, Joseph reports cheerfully.

"Hold the bottom line, I'm going to Japan these few days." Lehman sitting in the boss chair said.

"OK, I know."

"By the way, let Palmanm keep an eye on those channel dealers, settle the accounts, and collect some of the authorizations from the derivatives market as scheduled." Lehman then ordered.

"No problem." Joseph thought of something and asked: "Warner has said that it will start "Batman 3" for the second time. What do we say?"

"What does Nolan mean?"

"He is in the UK, and he has a schedule."

"Let’s talk about it when I come back. Anyway, this is the last one. After the filming, we will not intervene. Our interests must not be allowed. I will first let CAA form a negotiating team to negotiate with Nolan on the production and director. Salary."

"Go to Japan to talk about the sequel to "Pacific Rim"?"

"Of course, this is a good project. I have asked Gyro and the screenwriters to continue writing the second script, and sort out a timeline and worldview structure to enrich the background."

In the previous life, Warner wrote a detailed origin background for the Monster Universe. It was very good to integrate the concepts of wormholes and small worlds. Lehman added: "Prioritize our own sole proprietorship. Warner and Fox have no priority. If you put it so high, even if they want to operate, they will contribute their own efforts and release resources."

Joseph nodded, expressing understanding.The publicity team of Blue Butterfly Pictures has limited energy and can only be responsible for so many things. Of course, it must be placed on the main business side of the company.

"Well, you are busy with you."

After Joseph left, Lehman picked up the performance report of "Reunion" and read it again.

How to say it, after 6 weeks of screening, the global box office of the film has broken 1.1 billion. What's better is that 443.3 million in North America accounted for 40% and 664.9 million accounted for 60% of the international distribution. It was produced independently by Marvel. One of the most popular overseas projects in the past, the meaning behind it is that Marvel’s overseas market foundation has risen rapidly, and it has a positive performance that the wall is blooming and the wall is more fragrant.

By comparison, the overseas box office of the first "Iron Man" only accounted for 45 percent of the total box office, which is less than half. The trend of opening up the market is very obvious.

Lehman is naturally also happy to see the expansion of this radiation surface. He knows that as long as the characters under Marvel can become more popular around the world under the magnification effect of the movie, then these often cultivated audience soils will naturally be able to deliver more benefits. Conducive to the fruit of Marvel.

On the plane, I don’t know how many times I have been out of Japan. Lehman’s goal is not only to talk about the location, sponsoring the implantation, and shooting start-up matters with Toho Cinemas, but also to understand the April screening of "Reunion".

Yes, in most areas when "Reunion" is about to get a good box office, this weird place in Japan directly postponed "Reunion".

The reason is that in mid-December, Toei Animation (the one that produced the Fist of the North Star, Sailor Moon, and Slam Dunk) came up with "Carmen Knight Movie War Mega Max: Carmen Knight vs. Carmen Knight FourzeO" (automatic brain supplement Japanese translation of the second name), the Japan Film Bureau saw that the screen share is full. It is also possible to simply protect Toei, the flagship project of the Japanese animation giant, and discuss with Sony to release "Reunion" until April of the following year.

It's all about making money. If you can't bump into it head-on, no one wants to compete for the audience with a hot project.

"how are things?"

Entering a smooth flight, Lehmann chatted with the spinning top.

"Hilarious." The top grinned.

After the sale of "Pacific Rim", the number of paintings was finally locked at 820 million (about 130 million US dollars) under the background of more support in the Mainland. All parties, including the theaters, have made money, and have also made a lot of money. An announcement, an interview, and this is the first time he has directed a masterpiece. It is also his favorite subject matter, and I am very satisfied.

Naturally, during that time, there were more "good people" around him every day, all kinds of inquiring about news and opportunities.

"If you shoot "Godzilla," there will be more places to deal with Japan. You have to change your mind and introduce some of their culture to cater to the Japanese market."

The top is only aesthetically unique, not stupid. Hearing Lehman’s reminder, he smiled tacitly, "I understand, but if the main creations in the first part are reduced, will it be harmful to the audience? impression?"

In the second script now written, Charlie Hannum, who is driving the Ranger, has become a supporting role, and the situation of other characters being marginalized can be imagined.

Of course, the top asked this sentence with some selfishness. As mentioned earlier, Charlie has a very good relationship with the three Mexican masters. He himself is still a student of Alfonso.

As a result, the teachers managed to make him popular, but the second part was nowhere to be seen. Charlie himself was worried that he would just fade out.

"This is the second step for us to establish a network narrative. It must be divided into the first part. Only after laying the audience, we can guide the market superposition of the assembly node. No way, our protagonist is a monster and a machine. A, it's not the driver alone. We have to focus on showing that the audience loves to watch this theme."

"Well, I will explain to them."

......

After getting off the plane, Lehman and his party were received by Dongbao Cinemas with high standards.

No way, Mann Media is now an international studio. Whether it’s "Reunion" or several sequels revealed, the audience reviews are very good, and the two companies have already established a cooperative relationship. As well as the tone of international relations between the two regions, that really lifted Lehman and others to the sky.

In short, Toho has done a good job.

But whether it's Lyman or the top, everyone is not indulged in enthusiastic flattery, and they all know to do business.

They came all the way, not to be praised, but to listen to good things, is Hollywood weak?

Therefore, the people in charge of the Japanese site have worked hard. In some places, Lehman is not easy to show up, and they are all told to benefit from Toho, such as dealing with the government, closing roads for filming, dealing with brand owners, and whether there is a region Sponsored, we have to determine the Japanese production team, and select a few experienced monsters to join the team as supervisors.

Of course, there are also benefits to doing things. In addition to the investment share already set, does Dongbao have any actors who meet the requirements of the play, or you can put them in? Allies are affordable.

"Huh? They still want to hold a press conference. We haven't decided on the crew yet. Is it necessary for such a big battle?"

Two days later, the person in charge of the site came to report.

"Books? It is certainly worth publicizing to be able to go out. This is good news for Dongbao.

Belt, who had been in Japan for a period of time, the former deputy director of Blue Butterfly Pictures Oklahoma Region explained in a penetrating tone.

"Well, I will come to the platform."
