Chapter 465： digital realm

"Hi, we meet again."

Once again, he came to the digital field in the residential area, and the coffee man greeted him happily.

He took Lehmann into a conference room, and then introduced: "We already have a few creative concepts that you want. Let's take a look."

The meeting room is not big.

There were not many people, and Laiman did not see the familiar figure after he sat down.

He actually quite wanted to meet Cameron on this occasion.

Although he has written his black history before, he is often complained about him.

But for this top-notch director who is invincible at the box office, Lehmann is more admired than the equally outstanding directors such as Spielberg and George Lucas.

After all, just two "Titanic" and "Avatar" are enough to make him famous in film history, and it is the kind that knows how to shoot, and it is difficult to shoot.

Although Cameron's shooting techniques are not sophisticated, he doesn't like to play bells and whistles, and the structure of the plot is nothing new, but just relying on those new technologies that he has figured out and can use, people will not be able to replicate his success. .

"Can I meet your boss?" Lehmann asked the coffee man on the left.

"This..." Coffee Man explained, "Our boss is not in Los Angeles, he's working on a documentary."

Well, it looks like Cameron has begun to ponder new filmmaking techniques in preparation for his sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar." Not surprisingly, the producer of this documentary also has 20th Century Fox...

Lehman thought so, and quickly interrupted the coffee man's long speech about digital technology, "I don't understand this, I just want to see the effect. So let's omit the politeness and go straight to the topic."

Dealing with non-professional customers is like this, and Coffee Man is obviously not a qualified product manager.

At least, his words were not refined and simplistic enough, and it was hard for Lyman to make out what he was talking about.

Fortunately, the moment of embarrassment passed quickly.

The coffee man turned the laptop on the table and put it in front of Lehman, "This is the concept map you asked for. If you are satisfied, we will make a similar style according to the script scene."

In the computer, there are several completed special effects scenes, and it can be seen at a glance that those are movie concepts such as black fog, monsters, and landslides.

"Not bad." Lyman nodded approvingly.

"Then, we will follow this idea in the next production. However, when will your film start? Has the process come out? At that time, we still need to go to the shooting site to collect data and coordinate in advance."

"Probably will start production in February, we will notify in advance."

After Lehman said this, he settled the advance payment and paid the first fee for the special effects work, which cost a total of 2.35 million before leaving the digital realm.

After the preparations for the film were further advanced, on the way back, Lyman was in a good mood.

He was still thinking, perhaps, Firefly Pictures should also have a special effects studio.

From his knowledge of the future, it is not difficult to find that the proportion of computer special effects in the film industry will be higher and higher.

But how to cultivate a good special effects studio, Ryman has no clue.

He himself doesn't understand this.

Back at Firefly Pictures, as soon as he entered the production department, Lyman saw Blake's hurried figure.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Exactly, I was looking for you just now. I have sorted out the film's production schedule, budget statement and shooting arrangements."

Lyman nodded and followed Black to the small conference room in the cubicle.

At this moment, the writing board occupying one wall is densely covered with Lehman's hand-painted "Mist" sub-shots.

Similar coherent scenes are also classified.

On the right, the schedule and budget map are created together.

I have to say, Blake's ability to manage production is pretty good.

Seemingly scattered, in fact, they are all sorted together according to the shooting order.

Blake put several folders on the conference table into the drawer and continued: "The preparatory work of the crew was supervised by Thomas, the personnel arrangement and the behind-the-scenes team were sorted out, and the rest was just waiting for the sets, props and participation in the performance. With the actors in place, filming on The Mist can begin."

"You've worked hard." Lyman reassured.

"It's my job." Blake smiled.

Afterwards, the two discussed some details before the other turned around to do other things.

After Blake left, Garcia quickly joined up: "Boss, the content of the first episode of "The Walking Dead" has been filmed."

"Really. Let the top cut out the feature film, make a few more copies, and send it to the five major commercial TV stations, as well as pay TV channels such as hbo and shoe."

"Cast a wide net and let them bid?" Garcia looked puzzled. "If that's the case, why don't you adopt a hidden bidding model?"

Bidding means asking these TV stations to give a psychological price for buying out the copyright of a certain episode for the market prospect of a certain episode, and not to openly bid.

Doing so is more conducive to the producers to obtain their own benefits without hurting face.

Unfortunately, Lehman never wanted more money to buy.

What he wants to do is to dig out the fame of "The Walking Dead" for the sake of a larger zombie market in the future.

The five major commercial television networks have clearly stipulated filming restrictions.

For example, the lines can't be yellow, and the shots can't be too bloody.

Almost similar to the nc-17 movie rating. The fascination of The Walking Dead doesn't detract from the quality of filming.

Furthermore, no blood, no pornography, and "The Walking Dead" is no longer a zombie TV series.

Therefore, Lehmann's goal has always been on limited premium channels.

Among them, hbo has the strongest strength and the most paying crowd...

"Garcia, your idea is good, but there are other concerns about the choice of platform for the "Walking Dead" series. So, you just do as I ask ."

Garcia grinned and wanted to say something, but seeing Lehmann's unquestionable attitude, he didn't persevere in questioning in the end.

As a subordinate, he still has this vision.

Although he was very confused about the choice that Lehman made in this way.

Of course, he has already given his own plan, and it is up to the boss to adopt it or not. No matter what, he has fulfilled his responsibilities.

"Okay, let's do it like this."

Lyman patted Garcia on the shoulder.

After watching him leave, Lyman turned and went back to his office.

Speaking of which, the public relations of "Million Dollar Baby" also needs his cooperation.

very busy……
