Chapter 391： advent

end of August.

In some theaters, a poster with a familiar style was replaced in the poster column.

Dark colors, mixed with some gothic weirdness.

In a room similar to a basement, there was a corpse hanging.

Blood was flowing, and it gathered into a small pool on the ground.

The incandescent lights flickered, and in the darkness, a silhouette with a mask loomed.

Inside the mask, a pair of smiling and plain eyes could be seen looking through.

In the upper left corner is written the return of "The Chainsaw". In the middle of the poster, director James Wen's name is bolded with a pen, and black fonts are in front of it.

......

The publicity planning of "Chainsaw 2" was completed with reference to the publicity of the first part.

The focus is also on Jigsaw and director Wen Ziren, two directions that attract audiences.

Paramount was determined to release it in early September, not mid-October as expected.

However, the schedules in September and October are not very popular.

After confirming with the theater, Paramount first released the cut quarter and a half trailer to the market.

The feedback from the TV station is good, and the effect is not bad. Fans who really pay attention to this news can see something in advance.

For example, continuing the wonderful killing mechanism of the previous work, punishing the world, always likes to observe the jigsaw of the prey up close.

At the same time, Paramount also used its own resources to open a more frequent publicity path.

"Los Angeles Daily", "San Francisco Evening News", "Observer"... A bunch of print media began to build momentum for the release.

Also, when I went to the TV station to participate in the interview and the promotion of the program, Wen Ziren also took the lead actors on a trip, and basically went there.

Although, "Chainsaw 2" is still a low-budget movie, and there is no star actor in the team to play the leading role.

Looking at it this way, the biggest card, the one that is so attractive to the audience is the director himself.

The most popular in the "Chainsaw" series is also the director himself.

Wen Ziren was relieved, and even the media interviewed him.

After all, "The Chainsaw", which is small and big and has an amazing rate of return, is a good publicity hotspot.

Everyone likes to hear stories like this, and this gimmick is not a small one.

......

After acquiring Hunter's stake, Lehmann did nothing new.

In addition to attracting the management of the issuance department, or continuing to acquire some of the incentive equity in the hands of the management.

It wasn't like Charles thought, as soon as he came in, he was threatening.

On the contrary, Lyman did not care about Lisemanwish Films' right to speak and the prestige of establishing the company.

Yoyo returned to Firefly Pictures to continue the post-production of "Daydreamer".

Originally, after entering the stadium, Lehman was thinking about planning the next step, but he was in no hurry.

The time has not yet come.

He worked hard to participate in the distribution channels in North America, naturally not to share the benefits with others.

As far as Lismanwish Films is concerned, the film segment is not good at all.

If he participates in the movie, wouldn't he want to reap the bonus of Firefly's strong production capabilities with Charles?

On that day, he negotiated with Charles, hoping to buy his equity at a high price, but they simply refused.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to talk about, so he won't talk about it.

The film and television industry is so promising, who doesn't want to stand higher and gain more market share?

The richer the country, the greater the people's demand for spiritual food.

Think about it.

This year, Cameron is still experimenting with his IMAX-3D technology;

This year, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft followed the development of the Internet, and their market value continued to rise;

This year, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the mainland film market has gradually soared, and it will become the second largest ticket warehouse in the world in the future;

this year......

The torrent of the times is rolling forward, and Lehmann, who has a certain foundation, is no longer able to satisfy this success.

He hopes that in the future film industry, he will no longer be a foil for the Big Six.

It's not that easy to do this.

During this period of time, the scattered thoughts in my heart were slowly twisted into a rope, and some specific development routes were gradually improved.

However, since we have just started the distribution channel, we can only strive for greater market benefits after we have mastered the North American channel.

Well, the first point is to settle Lismanwish Films.

In the afternoon, when Johnson came over to report, he said a little dejectedly: "Those people are still swaying, let alone buying equity, their perfunctory attitude is obvious."

"Distribution department?"

"The TV drama department. The equity is scattered among several executives in the TV drama department."

"Well." Lyman was very calm. "Help me meet Frank Gusta, the chairman of Lionsgate."

The major shareholder behind Lionsgate is also a Canadian banker.

......

Frank Gusta was very busy, and went to check business everywhere.

As a successful investor and businessman, watching the booming film industry, he put a lot of thought into getting in.

But he rarely intervenes in the management of the company.

He has always believed in the right people to manage the right things, rarely intervening.

In fact, his approach was successful.

Lionsgate is developing rapidly in the hands of a professional, Jon Felemed.

However, on this day he suddenly received a personal call from the CEO.

But someone invited him.

......

Upscale clubhouse near Hollywood.

The service and decoration are exquisite.

As soon as Lehmann opened the suite, he immediately felt a sense of luxury.

Leather chairs, glass and crystal coffee tables, and bookcases with complicated carvings.

Further inside A slightly fat middle-aged white man was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar.

He heard the movement, looked at Lyman, and nodded slightly.

In the room, behind the middle-aged white man, stood a capable woman. It should be a secretary, assistant or something like that.

No one greeted him, and he didn't care, so he sat in front of the man on his own.

The middle-aged man, about 50 years old, said with a smile, "Mr. Lehman is younger than I thought."

"It's just that when a good time comes, Mr. Frank is admirable."

Frank Gusta looked at Lehmann with interest, and suddenly exclaimed, "The time for those of us is over."

Lehmann didn't answer, but instead said, "I invited Mr. Frank to meet this time because there are some things I want to discuss."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"A little busy, maybe it's something that Mr. Frank is interested in."

For people like Frank Gusta, the accumulation of wealth is often just a series of numbers in their eyes, so it is not necessarily the case that Lionsgate, which has invested in it, has received a lot of attention.

But if there is no idea, it must be there.

Otherwise, he wouldn't agree to Lehman's appointment.

As for Lehmann, he wanted to invite Lionsgate into the game and help him squeeze Charles out.

Of course, he can pay some conditions.
