Chapter 1119： Preparation for "Game of Thrones" (Part 2)

"What is the specific audition time?"

"Let's wait for the news to spread." Ryan thought for a while, "At least we will not start the first round of large-scale auditions until next week. I put it in the new line studio, which is large and slightly arranged. Just one time, let’s talk about the rest.”

"OK, OK." Brian also roughly understood Firefly's attitude from these words. Although he still did not open the back door to CAA, he was still more intimate than other economic platforms. "Do you need our help, such as maintaining order or something else."

"Also, if the time is right, you can provide a few people who are familiar with the casting process to come over. Just this weekend, we will hold a small audition meeting internally, and the people you send will also come." Ryan is worried. people available.

Mann Media has carried out a lot of projects this year. Many people are out of town, and he needs some temporary management veterans to help him lighten his burden.

"Small thing."

Seeing Brian turning around and planning to go out, Ryan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't leak the news. I'm going to rely on this hype to continue to increase attention."

"Don't worry, I don't know yet, my mouth is very strict. When the time comes, when you release the news, I will inform the Navy to push it for you." Brian gestured twice and walked into the elevator with a smile.

When the door was closed, he said to the people around him: "If you are facing artists on a large scale, if you encounter that kind of independent artist who has won the main role, sign it for me as soon as possible, be quick."

"Don't worry, BOSS."

CAA has cooperated with Firefly for a long time, and Brian also understands that once they make a decision to promote a certain project, it must be extremely optimistic and ready. Such an annual drama can easily win a few top-notch, CAA How can I miss it - since it is not easy to go through the back door, but using information to do things, few people will be disgusted.

evening.

After running the three major US brokerage companies, including contacting some acquaintances in the circle, Ryan took 2DB back to the company. He was just about to go out for dinner, but he was blocked by some persevering paparazzi.

"Game of Thrones" became more and more popular, and George Martin also took the initiative to appear on a talk show. Many things will only become more popular.

"D-B-Weiss, David Benioff, it's them."

"And Ryan."

A group of people swarmed up holding the camera.

"Excuse me, when will Game of Thrones be launched?"

"Is there any news about the casting?"

"Talk about your views on the project."

"Right now, there will be arrangements soon."

Ryan just stressed that he finally escaped with the help of the restaurant security staff.

"Phew. I can't take it anymore, let's guide these people's eyes to the actors."

Three days later, when Lyman came back from Cleveland, Ryan hurriedly said.

"Is the process ready?" Lyman asked.

"It's almost done, let's hold a press conference, just to release the casting issue to expand public opinion."

"No trouble, why not." Lyman laughed.

************

Given that the wind is in a good direction, the things that add fuel to the fire are of course to be done, and more must be done.

On the morning of May 7, the press conference of "Game of Thrones" began after a group of media invited by Firefly arrived.

The press officer first said: "There have been a lot of rumors recently. Today, I would like to declare that the TV series project of Firefly's "A Song of Ice and Fire" has entered the preparatory stage."

However, due to the long production cycle and various matters unknown, there is a high probability that I will not be able to meet the audience this year. The initial expectation is that it will be postponed to the spring of next year or to the summer. I hope everyone understands..."

As soon as the words fell, the reporters raised their hands.

"What is the production budget for this film?"

"Is it 100 million from the Internet?"

"more or less……"

Lehman glanced at the female reporter who was picked up by the press officer, and nodded: "To be precise, if 100 million US dollars can't produce the desired effect, it is not ruled out that it will continue to increase."

"Is it sole proprietorship or cooperation?" Another reporter asked along the topic.

"Firefly sole proprietorship."

Buzzing!

Much more than expected, this is too rigid. I thought that the cost of capital was only more or less shocking enough, but I didn't expect to introduce other capital to spread the risk.

You must know that HBO has always shared its investment share in advance in the history of over 100 million episodes.

I'm really confident that I won't lose money, and I'm not afraid of squeezing cash flow.

"Moreover, I can guarantee that for the visual effects part, we will ask the best team in the industry to take charge of it to ensure that the corresponding book quality is presented..."

"2DB is in charge of the script, and these two are creators personally recognized by Mr. George..."

"The director and behind the scenes are actively negotiating, and we are making an appointment..."

"I'm very confident in "Game of Thrones", its book is very good, we just need to restore it..."

"Just last year, the huge investment in "The Pacific War", the same episode of "Band of Brothers", achieved good results. We are not worried that no one will watch the drama that we put our heart into. The audience's eyes are sharp, whether the filming is good or not. Whether it is or not, you can feel it. And the current production environment is also forcing everyone to improve in terms of high budget and high visual effects.”

"There is no way. There are too many entertainment methods now, and fewer and fewer people can regard watching TV as a daily habit. We need this method to attract audiences to pay attention to our episodes."

"You also have to factor in the consumption level. Everyone can see the expansion of the smartphone market. I can only say that the younger generation is very happy with these kinds of progress. Besides, the script itself can't save us. It's not a small production, it's not a small production. There is something that can be done well for a small amount of money. The subject matter requires different things.”

"You get what you get for every penny. I believe you will know after the episode is filmed..."

Can I make a TV series with the attitude of making movies without spending money?

Answering various questions from reporters, Lehmann silently complained.

The last question, a male reporter asked: "What is the producer of this show?"

"Mr. George and I serve together. He is the general advisor of the crew and is in charge of the general direction. In my case, he is in charge of supervising the production and shooting..."

Good guy, how long has it been since this guy was a TV producer?

It seems that since the first season of "Breaking Bad", I haven't seen his name on any TV series.

And with the growth of the company's talents, Lehman's energy is really not focused on TV dramas, mainly because TV dramas have no channel platform, and it is beneficial for Firefly to have no movie accounts. What's more, the influence of the two is also different. After all, the big screen is more important than the small screen, and the significance is so great.

The press conference is over.

Lehman and Ryan returned to the lounge, "Have all the drafts been sent out? Is there a notice for the audition?"

"It's all pushing."

This is not new. This is what HBO did in the previous life, but their movements were not as big as they were, mainly because they were worried about the cost of expenses, and they were not so confident in their hearts. The most powerful and successful domestic cast members were Zhang Guoshi and Zhou. Stars, seeking girls, star girls and so on...
