Chapter 361: I want to participate in 1 hand

Warner works fast.

In a short time, the crew was filled with manpower.

Even the recording and theatrical affairs were not spared, not to mention an associate producer and two production managers who were in charge of accounting, logistics, and the representatives of the third-party insurance companies to constantly report the preparations.

Of course, this was expected by Lehmann.

Think about the "Titanic" that 20th Century Fox and Paramount collaborated on. The all-trump lineup also used seven production managers, including three chief producers and four production managers. You can manage anything from the inside out. This also made Cameron complain every day, and he was in a bad mood, and the tyrant on the set gradually spread from then on.

Afterwards, Lehmann finalized the matter of martial arts with extremely fast efficiency.

Naturally, Yuan Jiaban was hired, and a total of 400,000 US dollars was required to be paid. The whole process was followed by the group, and all the money was settled after the shooting.

As for Nolan, apart from the assistant director and a few confidants who were familiar with the shooting, there was no room for personnel.

The people at Warner always asked him questions about his preparations, and he was not annoyed and answered carefully.

Most directors who can make their way in Hollywood basically have one thing in common, that is, they can compromise and tolerate.

Talent is another matter.

For example, Cameron, everyone laughed at him as a truck driver, not a professional, and he was not as short-tempered as he is now. Can you imagine him raising money with a smile on his face? The first film he directed, "Piranha 2: Breeding", was still a mess of someone else. It was the former director who quit, and he found an opportunity to convince the producer to go ahead. It was someone else's project.

Later, it was because he had been successful all the time, and he gradually no longer needed to endure.

Because he can make money, if he wants to cooperate with him, he needs the management to endure his bad faults.

The same goes for Nolan, who wouldn't be a great director if he hadn't compromised where appropriate.

Pride only irritates you when you haven't proven yourself.

"Hello, President."

"President."

It was a new day, and Lehmann came to the company with a newspaper as usual.

The most popular event recently is that "Spider-Man 2" will have its world premiere on June 30.

The release of this movie can be different from the general one. The global meaning refers to the synchronous push market, unlike the general Hollywood movie that is always released in one or two countries first, and then about a week or completely after being drawn locally. , before conducting overseas screenings.

Don't think it's easy, the average movie doesn't like to do it.

Because, in order to achieve global simultaneous screening, in addition to having overseas channels, it has to be carefully planned in advance.

After all, with so many markets and so many theaters, it would take a lot of manpower and financial resources to ensure smooth communication and release.

Since the global film market is not as developed as the United States, Colombia has been busy with this matter since the beginning of March, throwing out 10 to 20 million yuan inside and out to make it happen.

Of course, there are also many advantages, that is, it can develop the market value of the film to a large extent. If it is really good quality and popular, it can ignite momentum and expand the box office in an instant.

In the future, many blockbusters like to do this, but in 2004, it was still not very common.

Lehman read the newspaper and went to the production department by the way.

As the producer's boss and the main producer, he has the highest power. Although he doesn't have to work too **** the specific work, he has to support Nolan.

This kind of Warner throws so many management personnel, although they know that this is what they also value, but the distribution of power is a big problem.

And the casting director and another executive director are their people too.

However, although these people gathered at Firefly Pictures, it was far from the time to talk about the specific shooting.

Because the selection of scenes, actors, and even the most important audience for the movie still need to be determined, and on top of this, set the tone for a series of issues such as grading and plot.

In the huge conference room, people divided into two factions gave opinions to each other.

The director was surrounded and enjoyed the arguments.

As for Lehman, he only pursues one principle, finds the optimal solution, and supports Nolan's shooting idea.

"So, this movie is an action thriller, aimed at fans, young people, and some minority groups, right?" Warner's production manager said after listening to Nolan's confirmation of the plot outline.

"Yes, this is what I think." Nolan answered very patiently.

"Will there be violence and gore if it's a thriller?" another production manager asked.

"There will be some, but it will not be too explicit, and it will not particularly emphasize this aspect, but the atmosphere of the film is inclined to horror." Nolan replied again.

"That's good, if there are a few sensitive clips, we can still get a PG13 rating." The production manager nodded, "The plot is also very suitable for non-manga fans to watch, it will not affect the viewing effect, mainstream fans. It shouldn't be too annoying. It's a good grasp."

Warner is really good enough, such a movie can get a PG13 rating, and his "Bad Guy" only has a small amount of violent scenes, but it is just rated R.

But who made the MPAA Association, the rating system in the United States, whose audit members are jointly held by the seven largest film companies in the United States, (the six largest plus MGM) and some practitioners in the TV media, as long as Warner is willing to pay a certain price. , can still be mixed.

Like X-Men, it's also PG13.

"The film is initially scheduled for the summer vacation next year, when the students are on vacation. The student group is the main audience for comics." Another production manager said.

"What about distribution? Have you communicated?" But it was Lyman who spoke.

"I have communicated with the distribution department When the preparations are completed, we will hold a launch conference, first to heat up the momentum of Batman adaptation, and then wait until the film is completed, and then guide the popularity step by step until the film We still need to see the finished film before making a decision, but we will definitely cooperate with the early hype..."

After discussing for more than two hours, the people from Warner were worthy of being professional, and they left with satisfaction after asking all the questions in place.

For this project, no one wants to make a failure.

As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Lehman patted Nolan on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's my duty, there's no hard work." Nolan shook his head, feeling a little emotional, "If you can convince them, unify good opinions, and get to the specific shooting, it will be a blessing."

Lyman nodded in agreement, "Is your split shot done?"

"Come on, then I'll go to the studio first."

A portion of the crew has already started working on props and costumes at Warner Studios.

After Nolan left, Lyman's phone vibrated suddenly.

It's a text from Kate Beckinsale.
