Chapter 340： 1 point more

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the legendary Hollywood director!

As Warner's chief executive, Barry Mayer chose the project and naturally had to bear certain consequences for his actions.

What Lehmann has to do is to reduce the risks he takes as much as possible, but the returns are not low.

In short, it means that I can resist more risks and eat more benefits. It's a selfless dedication.

Otherwise, Barry Mayer will not be moved.

After all, the project itself is Warner's, and Lehman is an outsider no matter what. Even if this outsider has cooperated with Warner, he is also favored by some high-level executives.

But, when Barry Mayer asked the question.

Lehman said honestly: "I am not the director of this project, I am planning to be a producer and lead the overall situation."

"You don't want to direct this project?" Barry Mayer was surprised.

"No, there is another person."

Barry Mayer hesitated.

"Don't worry, the project is about 200 million yuan, and Firefly Pictures is responsible for the shooting expenses. We will not mess around. All the shooting plans will also be shown to Warner." Lehman laughed.

Having said that, Barry Mayer nodded again.

That's right, the production risk is not on Warners, so his worries are quite superfluous.

"Then, I'll go back and speak to the board."

Barry Mayer feels that this kind of cooperation is very beneficial to Warner, and it can also dispel the concerns of some people. He also intends to go back and discuss it.

"Wait, I have one more request."

Seeing that Barry Mayer wanted to leave, Lehmann said quickly.

Although he intends to get on the boat, he is not prepared to pay so much and get so little.

People should be greedy a little, commonly known as inch by inch.

Therefore, Lehman asked without hesitation: "If Batman can be adapted successfully, the subsequent film projects related to Batman must also leave a place for Firefly Pictures."

"what do you mean?"

"If the first film can be successful, the second, third and even subsequent projects related to Batman should give up part of the investment share to Firefly Pictures. "

If it really proves Batman's charm, Lyman doesn't want to be swept away by Warner and occupy the situation he has worked so hard to create.

This is very likely, like the original "Lord of the Rings" series, the farce between New Line Pictures and Miramax, he doesn't want to repeat it again.

Hollywood six, not a single fuel-efficient lamp.

There must be such a follow-up guarantee.

"How much do you want?"

"At least 30 percent."

Lehman thought for a while and said seriously.

With a cake as big as Batman, he will definitely not be able to eat it, and Warners will not allow others to share too much.

If it weren't for the fact that the management had a lot of opinions and everyone's thoughts were different, in fact, there were no conditions for this first intervention.

But who made Troy fail.

The funding gap is there, and Warner is reluctant to take too much risk.

Lehman seized the opportunity to deepen the partnership between the two companies.

But if the first one is a success, Warners will certainly be reluctant to let anyone join.

The so-called trip thunder you come, road, I go. It is probably the most authentic idea of ​​these film companies.

If Lehman didn't say it, maybe even Barry Mayer would subconsciously avoid it.

Doesn't he know that Lehman took the initiative to let the benefits of publishing rights, and he would be willing to develop such a project without any initiative?

He knew, but he didn't say it. So, Lyman said. He has to pay attention.

"Okay, I will mention it to the board of directors."

"That's it, looking forward to your good news."

"You remember to get a shooting plan first."

"The president really understands, so I will replace the wine with coffee. I wish us a happy cooperation."

It seems that this guy was really moved by Lehman's conditions, and he took the initiative to remind him to come up with a detailed plan to further convince the board of directors.

The Warners have a big business, but management is also troublesome.

The two finished their coffee with a smile, and then said goodbye to each other.

......

Lehman returned to the company and immediately called Joseph to talk about re-cooperating with Warner.

"This is the most important project in the next phase of the company, and you have to be prepared."

"Are you going to make a new movie?"

After he finished speaking, Joseph asked.

As the president of the company's administrative department, he was actually quite comfortable these days.

It's not that the job is easy, but that he finds it worthwhile to do it. Tired, he is not afraid. He was afraid that he would not be reused, and his career ambitions would have nowhere to show, just like when he was transferred to the British branch during the Columbian period.

Seeing that Firefly Pictures is getting better and better, he is also more and more interested in his new job.

"It is the company that wants to set up a new project, and you need to prepare the shooting funds in advance."

"You're not going to direct yourself?"

As expected of a smart person, Lehman explained and immediately reacted.

"I'm not very interested in such a subject. Besides, I already have a filming plan myself. Didn't I tell you?"

Hearing this, although Joseph wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, the production department was not under his control. Talking too much is useless, and it will make the boss feel that the desire for power is too strong, so he retorted: "I will be ready."

"Well, remember to talk to Johnson and ask him if he knows a director named Christopher Nolan."

Come to think of it, director Nolan is still a contract client of CAA, and he has not come out to do it alone.

If you want to get in touch, there seems to be no other channels besides looking for CAA.

"Any other orders?"

"No, you contact Johnson, remember to ask him to help with the invitation."

"OK."

......

Lehmann was in a good mood.

Warners was very cautious about the Batman project, but it gave him a bargain.

I think Legendary Pictures will not fall out with Warner in the future, because they don't even have the chance to cooperate.

When people are happy at a happy event, Lehman smiled and ran to the company's editing room.

After the top guy finished filming "Hellboy", he has been staying here for editing and post-production.

"How's it going, how's it going?" Lyman asked when he found the top .

"Look at it, the film has been cut out."

Later, the two took out the projection equipment to watch the feature film of "Hellboy" again.

"How is it?" The spinning top was a little nervous.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with the people at Lionsgate in a few days, they want the distribution rights to this movie."

"Is that so?" Gyro let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lyman would be dissatisfied and asked for a re-cut.

Of course, Lehman nodded, in fact, because the story of the movie was really poor, and there were even logical problems, and he didn't know where to change it.

The main selling point of this film is the realistic monster images, costumes, props, and special effects, but they are not atmospheric.

Come to think of it, the market won't be so hot, but it shouldn't be a loss. Just focus on this theme, the craftsmanship of the gyro, if you don't have a brain, it's still very cool to watch.
