Chapter 723： that familiar dress

Manga image and screen image will of course be different.

Not to mention, the image of the clown in the comics is not uniform, so it can only be used as a reference.

After Heath Ledger got the call, he changed his clothes and went to the Firefly Building.

At this moment, Lehman and Nolan are specifically determining this matter. After the styling is finished, they will take a makeup photo, which will also be useful in future publicity.

In the huge room, the rows of support racks are full of movie-related costumes.

When Heath Ledger came over, a few people greeted him without gossiping, and went straight to battle.

The first version of the look was based on the cartoon image created by Ed Brubuck, but Nolan felt that wearing Heath Ledger was not enough to show off his temperament, or to say it was eye-catching, so he shook his head and said, "There must be some changes? Do you have any suggestions?"

The costume designer of the crew, Lindy Hemming, suggested: "Can we hide the character with a funny and weird shape? Our purpose is to dig out the deeper realism of this character. So it's just a symbol, Contrast makes it easier for viewers to make an impression.”

"Well, that's a good idea." Lyman nodded in agreement.

Then, the second version was modeled on the original purple suit, especially the face, with many traditional mask-like features—dark eyeshadow, white space, and messy hairstyles.

"Where's the scar?" Lyman reminded.

As a result, a skin-treating plastic close to the cheeks all the way to both sides of the mouth was smeared on.

Looking at the clown shape that was almost restored, Nolan nodded with satisfaction and asked Heath Ledger to imitate it.

These days, the benefits of careful thinking have also been reflected.

The temperament and demeanor of the whole person are more and more closely related to the role, that is, the plastic is close to the old pine, and the scars are easy to be seen as fake.

"You can push yourself with your tongue from time to time." Lyman reminded again.

After that, a character with speech and body with a temperament that ordinary people can't have appeared...

Burbank, Fox Administration Building.

The director of the distribution department took a document and read it carefully.

The content above is about the recent movie market, including "300", which is still raking in the box office.

According to the report analysis made by the marketing department, the screening space of this film has gradually shrunk, but the box office will never fall below 400 million (global).

As far as the production cost and publicity investment are concerned, Firefly has undoubtedly made another good business.

Exactly so.

His friend Christopher McLeodandre came over.

The two belong to different departments, and even McLeodandre's position is still the "leader" of the Fox animation department.

However, McLeodandrei has been very uncomfortable lately.

The reason is that the Blue Sky Studio he excavated with his own hands has a faint intention to surpass him—whether it is the laissez-faire of the major shareholders or the ambitions of the Blue Sky Studio managers themselves, this is something he cannot bear.

A similar power struggle really happened to me, and no one could accept it with peace of mind.

Besides, he was tired too.

To do this, he is still a wage earner with little right to speak. At best, he is more advanced and has a higher salary.

As a result, the old friend was surprised to hear that McLeodandrei revealed his desire to resign.

It was not easy for him to keep this matter, but he just said: "Have you thought about it? Actually, talk to the big boss, or take a vacation to rest for a while to calm down?"

McRedandry shook his head and said, "No, it's boring."

He now has a stable family, and there is no shortage of savings in the bank. In addition, he is old. Although he still has career motivation, his passion is not spent on similar things.

In other words, he's not doing well right now and doesn't see the possibility of going further.

......

The news that McLeodandrei will leave did not spread, but several headhunting companies inquired about relevant intentions.

In the original space, McLeodandrei had contact with Universal for a period of time after leaving the company, and then set up Lighting Entertainment, the animation studio of the father of the Minions.

At this time and space, it is not only Universal that hopes to develop in the animation field, Firefly also pays great attention to relevant talents in the industry.

Even now McLeodandrei hasn't figured out what he does, but based on his work experience - for more than 20 years, he has worked hard in the film and television industry all the year round, and has stayed at Disney and Fox successively. The latter also participated in the post. Buy Blue Sky.

Just this resume experience is the only big fish in the animation field so far who has a tendency to leave the original company.

Therefore, the headhunting company quickly followed him and called Joseph, the Firefly executive.

Joseph didn't know much about animation production, so he hired Rodriguez Perlman, the director of copyright operations. He thought that when Lehmann had not set foot in the animation field, he began to propose to expand the company's production business. Third-party marketplaces are beneficial.

Animations take a long time to make. In terms of box-office performance, even if it reaches Pixar's level, the return on profits is still not high - in two or three years, earning 100 million to 200 million yuan is really more than a live-action movie. ?

But for the image licensing market or copyright operation, it is a huge source of profit, far from what live-action movies can match. This also means that the stability of the capital chain is very important to the overall development of the company.

Of course, the heavier the copyright business, the heavier Perlman's right to speak, and it is difficult not to increase the treatment and salary.

Perlman got this news from Joseph and immediately saw the direction of business deepening.

For a long time, he has been inquiring about the news of the animation studios on the market that can produce results, and Lantian can't miss it.

Although it is not McLeodandre who is most responsible for the development of projects under Lantian, but he is in charge of management and has experience in animation production, so he is also the second biggest contributor.

Moreover, this person is a handsome talent, not only has a wide network of contacts, but also works in a large company like Fox all the year round. How can he not be strong in terms of means, management, and control of the general direction?

Thinking of this, Perlman said immediately: "You should immediately arrange for someone to contact him."

Hearing his urgency, Joseph was also happy in his heart, "Well, you are in charge of this matter, and I will let the headhunting company assist you."

Seeing that Joseph was not the kind of sloppy, Perlman felt that he would get along with him, and he did not refuse, but responded directly.

"I'm going over now, please go and talk to the boss. It's better to come up with a good salary. If it doesn't work, I don't have the confidence to talk about it." Perlman reminded vaguely.

Of course Joseph knew this.

I thought about his resignation from Colombia for a while, and he was already marginalized at that time...

Pushing others by oneself, do they have to accept even worse treatment than they did before if they did not go well in Fox?

Think about it, unlikely.

Joseph pondered in a low voice, "I'll explain in detail... I'll give an answer after I've talked to the boss. You first stabilize the person and give a good impression."

Perlman responded, turned and left.

......

"You can talk as much as you can, what are your requirements to hear what he has to say?"

When Joseph found Lyman, support was immediate.

He doesn't have the power to make such decisions, but Lyman does.

Moreover, Lehmann also hopes to expand the production business.

The market share in the animation field, it's very itchy to watch it all the time.

"Since McLeodandrei has this ability, as long as he is willing to join , of course, he will give priority to winning over." Lehman first characterized the poaching operation, and then continued: "Firefly definitely does not have the size of Fox. If he is so big, he needs to change his thinking and give him more autonomy. As long as it is beneficial to the development of the animation department, as long as he does not exceed his authority, he will support him in whatever he wants to do."

Lehmann had longed for a leader in order to develop new businesses.

Moreover, it is impossible for a person with such an excellent work experience to leave for no reason. Speaking of salary, Fox must have a lot of intentions for the management below. How could it be because the salary is too low that McLeodandrei can be the general manager of the department? to leave.

Judging from the documents sent by the headhunting company, the only reason is that it is not "valued", and it is the psychological gap.

Therefore, only by giving people what they want most and making full use of their personal needs can they catch this big fish.

All in all, everyone gets what they need. All Lehman wants is to give Firefly a sufficient bargaining chip in the production business, and the rest can be given.

This kind of talent, most of the time, works comfortably by himself, and there are no heavy constraints on his body, which is more attractive than the specific salary.
