Chapter 930： "in some place"

When Virginio left South Korea to go to Japan, Hong Kong Island, Wanwan and other places to find agents, he briefly reported the process of his dealings with several game manufacturers to Lehmann.

In his opinion, as long as Virginio is always thick-skinned and has the eloquence to exaggerate his chips, he is undoubtedly capable of this job, and a few words of praise can be regarded as support for him.

After all, the game side is just a sideline, nothing has been rolled out on the fist side, and Lehman's main energy is still on the movie.

For example, "New Moon" has been shown for more than three weeks, and its momentum has plummeted. It is completely impossible to see that the first week is also a highly popular work that exceeded 100 million yuan. It has been proved by facts that in a single audience market, passion comes and fades quickly. The consolation may be that the surrounding of the movie is more popular than the first one, and the fans' desire to buy has not fallen as fast as the box office of the movie, which is also a good news.

As for the overseas side, Lionsgate has also gradually reduced its investment in publicity and distribution in the past few days, and has continuously adjusted its level following the market.

"If the main creators have another wave of salary increases, the production budget of the third part will be at least 72 million."

The film was a big hit and entered a plateau. The series' producer, Blake, came back to report to Lyman, "According to the filming plan formulated by the company, this type of Mary Sue film has very high requirements on the age of the characters. We should take advantage of the next two years. The protagonists are still young and continue to launch sequels. In fact, if the two films are combined, the cost of adding the two can be reduced compared to doing them separately.”

"Since it's a good job, and the production department has decided, let's do it. However, have you spoken to their agent?" Lehmann asked.

"It's just a question of salary increase, but the attitude is kind, and it's all for the purpose of achieving it quickly. To be honest, we don't need to exert any pressure, the actors themselves are the breakthroughs. With the screening of these two plays, Their popularity and worth are completely incomparable with the previous days, and they have benefited a lot, not to mention that the "Twilight" series has not gone downhill, and no one will give up."

Blake analyzed: "But the second part is also looking at the 600 million level in the world. After the next painting, there is so much time left, even if the screen share is reduced a lot, it is not a problem to cross the 700 million. The results are there, and they always have to meet some of their small requirements."

"Just watch it, and as long as you don't go too far, you will agree."

Lehman sees this matter clearly, and he can't always treat others as a minor role. Anyway, he is now a wrist, and the salary must be matched. "We still firmly grasp the copyright surrounding and offline dividends." This means that When the salary rises to a certain extent, the North American box office share can also be exchanged for excessive project expenses. In short, the return rate on the book must be good.

"I see."

After Blake left, Lyman stayed in the office for a while, sorted out some documents that needed his signature, and went to see Sophia again.

The director, who is also very motivated at work, has figured out the script in late May, and after setting up the crew, he has finished filming all the materials for "The Mountain of the Virgin" a few days ago and returned to Los Angeles.

"What are you going to do?"

"This film is not suitable for the atmosphere of the Oscars, it is too bland, and I want to show it in Venice next year."

After several movies were polished, and another great director father helped reference, Sophia quickly knew how to build momentum for her work and entered the market more calmly.

Speaking of which, films that are too artistic are like this. If there are not so many film festivals to be exhibited, with platform award bonuses, the decline of literary and artistic films will only be faster. The in-depth works are getting farther and farther, or in other words, the market is getting more and more impetuous. If "Lost in Translation" is released in 2009, the results may not be as high.

"Have you said hello to the organizing committee over there? Do you need my help?" Lehmann asked.

"Don't be so troublesome, my film "Her" the year before was shown in Venice, and I know the filmmakers there."

Well... The road to the film festival planned by the Coppola family for Sofia seems to be running well, Lehmann smiled, "After your film is completed, I will continue to help you here. Collect suitable scripts, I will sort them out after a while, you can take a look..."

Movies with depth must continue to be made, even if the profit is not high or even a small loss, but Lehman's insistence has not changed.

"Okay, but, I myself have written something during this period of time, a story of inspection, reflection, and growth..."

Sophia is still quite assertive in movies, and often reads novels and newspapers to learn creative materials.

The inspiration for the new film that she is talking about now comes from her own life experience to some extent. After all, as the daughter of Francis Coppola, she has been used to seeing all kinds of glitz in Hollywood since she was a child.

Although Sophia herself stated that she wanted to shoot a "fictitious star's life in contemporary Los Angeles", the main scene is also the Marmont Castle Hotel -

"A hotel itself is a small world There are all kinds of interesting people in it, so I chose the hotel as the background, because many stars also live in hotels when they work. In this short stay place , people are often in a moment of some kind of turning point and change, and these sensitive emotions are a good topic to extend."

But Lyman could still see her own shadow, no wonder she was so concerned.

"Sounds like an interesting movie, and I'll support you."

"thanks."

"Has the movie title been decided?"

""in some place"."

In this way, "The Mountain of the Virgin" has been completed and entered the editing process. Sophia is busy with this, and will also prepare a new film in her spare time.

"Somewhere" has low investment, and the scenes and characters are quite simple. It can be said that this is also Sophia's style. Her works have always focused on one or two characters to describe the psychology of her characters. With a quiet taste.

Not so loud, not so lonely...

And the investment that this film may require is also very low, the budget is about 8 million, because according to the shooting plan presented by Sophia, she hopes to find her relatives and friends to complete it together, and there is no big expenditure at all.

Afterwards, there was nothing that Lehmann needed to do by himself, and time always passed quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, October came.

"New Moon" is still very sluggish, but because the total box office volume has increased, there is no market. At this time, its global box office has exceeded 600 million, of which 267 million has been recorded in North America. Then, "I Am Legend" coming too...
