Chapter 527： statement

In the spacious office, Lyman didn't notice Tony Gilroy's unease, he just looked down at the draft of the script carefully, pondering whether the style was appropriate.

While watching, I asked, just after more than half an hour passed, Lyman looked up and said: "Director Gilroy, I will recommend you to Ms. Shirley, I have to say, you are well prepared, this is you Efforts should be given a little reward, but whether it succeeds or not, it will take a while."

After speaking, he ignored Tony's feelings on the opposite side. Lyman just turned around and picked up the phone, and roughly communicated to Shirley Lansing his thoughts on the two interviews.

Undoubtedly, it is more inclined to Tony as the project director.

Ratner may also be able to, but after all, the perception is not good, there is no need to strongly recommend it.

As for Shirley Lansing, of course, she will not reject Lehmann's proposed candidate.

As the production executive of Paramount said, Shirley Lansing is not very skilled in directing and production, so why not listen to Lehman?

After all, no matter from any point of view, Lehmann has proven his strength.

After hanging up the phone, Lehman smiled at Tony, "It's a pleasure to work with."

Tony involuntarily bent his back, relaxed his whole body, and revealed an undisguised excitement on his face, but he was still sensible. Although he understood what Lehman said, it was basically equivalent to handing over the movie to him, but Lehman still did. The producer of the project, in terms of status, qualifications, and even the right to speak to the crew, easily crushed him, so he quickly expressed his position: "Mr. Rust, I promise to film with all my heart and not delay any of your plans."—— The point is, I will listen to you.

Lehman naturally understands the meaning. After all, he can't recommend a director who doesn't deal with himself or who likes to mix private goods. Isn't that why the original director Doug Lehman was abandoned.

Tony can think so, of course, it is better, he is indeed a smart person, no wonder he was able to cooperate with Universal to take over the "Bourne Bourne" thing.

You must know that even if "The Bourne Bourne" changes the leading role, the risk will increase, but no matter what, it will be a big-selling sequel, and such an opportunity is rarely obtained by a director who has failed.

In this case, Lyman nodded and said, "Do you have any candidates for the actors of "Mrs. and Mrs. Smith"?"

Tony thought that Lehman was still testing himself, and when he heard the words, he said again, "No, it's all up to you to choose." - It is the producer's right to choose an actor. Furthermore, even if Lehman does not interfere, Pyla Meng will definitely intervene, which round can be a little director of him.

And if he really can choose, he will definitely become a great director, or the kind with certain qualifications, then it goes without saying, just put his name on it?

However, Lehman instructed him to participate in the audition screening. When the time comes, he will hand over the list and evaluation together, and still give him a little power to speak.

After all, Lehmann recognized a crew very much, and the director's participation must not be low, otherwise, there would be no authority at all, so why should the crew cooperate with the filming?

In this way, after Tony received Lehman's support, he could hardly hold back his happiness. If he wanted to vent his joy, he had better share his joy with a few of his circle partners.

"Mr. Rust, thank you for your help, please rest assured, I will definitely produce a work that will satisfy you."

Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him being so knowledgeable, Lehman thought to himself: Even if he didn't have extraordinary directing talent, he might be able to get him into the co-director studio system of Firefly Pictures - he is very smooth in dealing with people, such a director is the key He is willing to be obedient. Of course, his directing ability is a bit poor, but his screenwriting is great, and it is not that he has no training value.

Of course, all this has to wait until the development of the "Mrs & Mrs. Smith" project is not wrong, it must be smooth and smooth, and everything is controlled by Lehman, and if it is still two knives, then forget it.

"Then, I will take you to discuss the director's contract with Paramount. After signing the contract, you will start to promote the project preparations. I hope this project can catch up with this year's Christmas season."

"Um, um." Tony nodded incessantly.

Afterwards, Tony quickly became the project director of "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" with the approval of Paramount and Firefly.

And Tony didn't have any objection to the basic salary of $3 million and some incentive box office bonuses in the contract, and signed it without thinking.

As for the box office share? Will not mention it.

What to strive for and what not to strive for, Tony felt the same as Der Spiegel.

Having been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, this grasp is the foundation of his life.

Anyway, as long as "Mrs. Smith" can be successful, he can completely get rid of the previous difficulties and enter a new life.

Don't look at Hollywood is the place where fame and fortune can be best obtained. Countless little-known actors, screenwriters, and directors will suddenly rise up because of the success of a certain movie, gaining money, status, and even the love of movie fans and audiences and the pursuit of capital from all walks of life.

But in fact, this is only a small probability event after all. It is considered a great thing to stand out among hundreds of thousands of people, and it needs a little luck to a large extent.

If most practitioners do not have the support of nobles, they will be struggling with their qualifications and sinking in one circle after another - the last-rate actors have a circle of last-rate actors, and the third-rate ones are in different circles. On the top, second-rate and first-rate superstars. , Superstar, which is not a huge threshold Resources are always allocated from top to bottom, just take the screenwriting industry as an example.

Many studios want to adapt scripts or start new projects, they are looking for veteran screenwriters who have already succeeded in charge. Newcomers can only rely on these big and small hills, so that they may get a job opportunity.

And even if a first-class screenwriter in the industry wants to break into the director's circle or the producer's circle rashly, they must break one barrier after another. Even if they do, they still have to polish their qualifications and look forward to climbing slowly.

In the whole process, there is one difficult and not easy one.

So, the biggest shortcut here is either someone on it or the Son of God, luck is invincible and luck is invincible, and any item you pick up can make a big box office hit.

And this kind of person, once successful, does not necessarily continue to maintain, slowly, may also give up the struggle, just like a flash in the pan, leaving a mark on Hollywood.

On March 20, while the "Mrs & Mrs. Smith" project was still progressing steadily, "Million Dollar Baby" was officially completed, with a global box office of more than 120 million, more than 10 million more than the original version. Perhaps it is because of the reputation of Lyman's previous films that have been more popular.

It was also at this time that Blue Butterfly Pictures officially released its second theatrical feature film "Daydreamer"...
