Chapter 618： father holding daughter

Cage is too arrogant and has few friends; Sophia is stronger, and it is even more difficult to help after turning behind the scenes.

What's more, times have changed, and a new generation has replaced the old.

Francis Coppola thought a little bleakly, then looked at Lyman deeply, showing some appreciation in his eyes.

After explaining the purpose of the invitation, Ryman fell into thought.

He also did not expect that the meeting today would be such a situation. His company actually has the potential to become a "sweet pastry", but he did not immediately agree to this "win-win", he just took a quick inventory of the pros and cons in his heart.

Lehman is reluctant in all kinds of interpersonal relationships. After mixing for so long, he has obviously learned his quiet skills.

Even someone as sophisticated as Francis doesn't know what this guy is hesitating about.

However, he said that Hollywood's tradition of fighting for contacts and segregation of classes is really "American", because this country has been dominated by a small number of white people from the beginning, and many other races have been ruled during this period.

And the government's laissez-faire has made class solidification a favorable weapon for stabilizing society. Similarly, ethnic groups based on blood, the same skin color, etc. have become a major feature of Hollywood.

For example, Aussie gangs, Jewish ethnic groups and Italians are all commonplace and can not be ignored as a rule force.

Well, now the problem is coming. With the talent in the eyes of others, Lyman suddenly mixed into a new gang that cannot be underestimated, which attracted the favor of the Coppola family. After accepting it, what did Lyman need to pay, or What does Firefly want to give?

Could it be that because of a little bit of uneven distribution of benefits, instead of being friends, they became enemies?

Don't regret your promise at that time.

——After what happened a while ago, Lyman thought more and more.

So, Lyman tentatively said, "Mr. Coppola, what do you think of Cage?"

"If he wants to go out on his own, let him do it on his own, and there will be no shortage of food for him."

"So, what about Miss Sophia?"

"she......"

Lyman understood.

Cage is now a first-line movie star and doesn't need the help of his family very much.

Then, there is only another candidate that Francis has cultivated extremely.

After all, Hollywood is after all a place where men are in charge. Even if they constantly advocate and support women’s independence due to political needs, Hollywood is still not friendly enough to women.

"Does she have any subject matter she wants to shoot now? Firefly has always invested heavily in such an excellent director."

Francis Coppola appreciated Lehmann more and more when he heard it, and his reaction was fast enough to be decisive.

Especially when the bargaining chips were finalized quietly, and other channels that wanted to be convenient were blocked - "excellent" directors, of course not good directors, of course not to vote, Coppola can't just come to anyone, Firefly will give money to them. resources.

The exchange of interests is very particular about reciprocal payment, which is also a principle practiced by Lehmann. Of course, Sophia is Francis' daughter, so she has to give her face.

"If there are any small problems in the future, Coppola will do everything in their power to help solve them." Francis also euphemistically said.

Then he let out a puff of smoke, and said again, "If a good movie can't even get into the Oscars, that's a joke."

Lehman laughed, completely relieved.

With this support, what are the barriers to running the Oscars? What qualifications?

After such a reminder, both of them were satisfied with the price offered by the other party, or in other words, they were very acceptable for the time being, and after a few gossips, Lehmann said before leaving: "This matter is settled like this, Mr. Coppola will wait for a response."

Francis waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't regret it."

The two left the cigar house one after the other. In the courtyard in front, Eva was chatting with a few people. Seeing Leiman come out, she stood up and was greeted politely.

At this time, Sophia, who was in the middle and acted as a bridge for cooperation, saw Laiman and smiled at him, even if she knew something.

After leaving Coppola Manor, Lyman went directly to the company.

He brought Joseph to the office, told him about the contact with the Coppola family, and then left.

Lehman still attaches great importance to this connection.

How to deal with the arrangement needs to be communicated with Joseph, so as to avoid any mistakes in the communication.

When I drove away, it was about nine o'clock in the evening. When I entered the house, it was almost half past nine.

I was thinking about getting into Eva's hot bed.

——Lyman has not seen meat for more than half a month, especially when Eva went to the "Casino Royale" crew and filmed everywhere, she couldn't go home often.

After taking a shower, Lyman, who was taking a shower and put on a nightgown, saw Eva sitting halfway on the head of the bed under the soft light, flipping through a book.

"Do you still have time to read?" Lehmann leaned over with a smirk, and caught a glimpse of a touch of white, and his breathing couldn't help being short.

"Yeah." Eva was still pretending to be reading, but Lyman had already turned over and picked her up, quickly removing the obstacles with his hands and feet.

"Call."

Completed the great harmony of life (three thousand words are omitted here.)

......

After getting up the next day, Lyman called Liam again and asked him to work with the screenwriting department to enrich the copyright.

This year, Firefly will definitely have to increase its production. It can't make five or six films a year, and there's nothing left to do.

If you want to improve your strength, of course, the best way is to start from your own strengths and make projects.

But good projects are not easy to come across. They all depend on originality, and Lehmann doesn't have so many good original stories. Therefore, he can only learn the mainstream model of Hollywood now, win the copyright of novels and comics, and then turn them into film and television.

However, what is slightly different is that Lehman also attaches great importance to the original scripts of other screenwriters, and specially emphasized this aspect, and he can find a way to collect any scripts he likes.

And from another aspect, excellent screenwriters are the talents needed by film and television companies, and they can also improve the project selection space and expand the company's heritage.

Lehman looked at Johnson and Liam, and instructed earnestly, "Pay more attention to those basic scripts, whether movies or TV series, they can be included in the contact list first."

The dispatched man was given the task of selecting the script for the expansion project, and suddenly found it difficult to select the script.

If you are famous, the copyright is long gone, and if you can still stay, then you are a diehard like Frank Miller. If you don't prove that you can make a good work, you will not give it at all; if you are not famous, the base is too large, and there are tens of thousands of copies. Who knows which original script is suitable for the big screen?

You can only think about it.

However, since the boss of his own attaches great importance to this aspect, he has to screen carefully.

As for whether it can be done or not, there are people above who make up their minds.

Therefore, after the employees leave, the daily list will still be harvested.

However, most of them left Lehmann unimpressed, and then he was eliminated.

Anyway, I don't have any memory. Even if there is a mistake, it means that the risk is too great and it is not suitable.

"It seems that the company has a big move."

The staff below have quite a lot of ideas about this.

"This time there will be no shortage of projects to shoot." Someone answered.

Spending so much energy can't be idle and accident-free pastime.

Anyone with a little heart can think of Lehman's previous talk of expanding the company's production, and that Blue Butterfly Pictures and the digital field are both steadily expanding in their respective business areas.

In short, Mann Media has been able to eat more production business.

And just when the group was collecting scripts, the editing work of No Country for Old Men was completed.

In fact, most of the post-production workload of "No Country For Old Men" was in the editing process.

After all, this film doesn’t use special effects technology, it’s all set-up or live-action shooting. Once the editing is completed, the later work will be much easier.

Inserting the narration, the soundtrack, adding intro and ending credits, and the company logo, plus the help of Thomas and Ryan, made the job easier.

Then a period of time, the time came to April, "Prada" began to be painted in overseas areas one after another.

At this time, the total box office of the movie came to 350 million, allowing all stakeholders to have a large amount of banknotes.

Twentieth Century Fox originally offered high confidence overseas than North America. In fact, as they predicted, films of this type would not be unacceptable to audiences in other countries.

Moreover, this is still just the box office. Liam has long been ready to wait until the film is drawn, and release the DVD immediately. Even Blockbuster has already talked about how to promote it.

Although the offline recovery cycle is relatively long, there will be a fixed income in the next two to three years, and it is not bad for everyone to wait and share.
