Chapter 1012 Channels for new students
Whether out of reason or emotion, when he learned that Europa Pictures was forced to cut production and lay off employees and the production pressure increased greatly, Lehmann's first director of the director of "Super Body" and even the entire production team became Luc Besson.
The reason is not all what Johnson said. In fact, the reason why he did not give up the extra rights beyond the director's compensation was that Lehman knew that he would have less trouble and would be easy to control the crew, and Johnson would not be sure of this.
In other words, if a project is not too much for him to succeed, a little extra investment seems to him to be completely worth it.
He is so busy.
From September to December, the promotion and distribution plans for at least five movies will definitely occupy a lot of his energy, and reducing some schedule arrangements is very demanding for him at this time.
Therefore, when Lehmann understood the cause and effect of the matter, he still decided to contact Luc Besson, but Johnson was a little confused.
On the one hand, the client did not listen to the opinions of professionals like him who fully stood in the perspective of their own people, or was rejected by a pertinent proposal, which was a little disappointed; on the other hand, if Lehmann did not like to mention acquaintances and attitude towards doing things, he seemed to be unable to get to the high position of CAA today. From this point of view, after being rejected, he felt unexplained and relieved.
Many peers understand that if CAA was not trying to win over the priority of Lehman with the production business he represented, how could he have such a higher level of resources and a power salary that matched his status?
Even he himself has become the favorite object of discussion among many employees who have started from the mailroom. Many agents who are determined to make a name for themselves in the circle also envy his good luck.
"Since you think it's better to lead Luc Besson, we can also provide behind-the-scenes packaging services. If there is a need for the project, we will talk to him in person and listen to his requests."
After Johnson finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye.
Anyway, the ultimate staffing and shooting situation of a crew cannot be solved in one or two days.
When Johnson left, Lehman continued to lie halfway on the boss's chair, thinking about the "Super Body".
Since it is a compliment to Scarlett, it is a disguised way to improve the sense of Marvel's camp and enhance the screen charm presented to the audience by the Black Widow's role, so the role of the role has actually already taken a direction. Judging from the news feedback I received today, Luc Besson is likely to become a choice, and if Lehman really agrees to some of the shooting plans of the project, he will not be unwilling to-
Since he established the studio label, he has not been a pure director. Of course, in the years he was a director, he was a bit tacky in the eyes of many traditional French film critics.
But this vulgar person has a great effect on promoting French films in the international image.
Still the same thing, art can be just art, but without commercial drive, art will not last long.
After all, no industry develops and grows with enthusiasm, losses, and no returns on profits...
"You have to have money to take pictures of what you like. If you don't have money and can't make high-quality content, you're sorry for your hard work over the years."
Lehman sighed.
Looking at the new weekly box office of "Despicable", the animation has also exceeded 100 million in North America, and its ability to harvest box office has slightly decreased.
Apart from these, the sales of corresponding derivative toys reached US$142 million in the next week, and Lighting Entertainment, as the authorized party, earned at least 44.8 million.
After thinking about the profit prospects of this project, Christopher McLedandre, as the project leader, believed that the market potential of the Minions had room to explore. In the second part, the shooting proposal of the Minions shot of the second part was naturally frequently recognized by Lehman.
After spending some time following up on some matters that needed his signature, Lehman then left the office and headed straight for the Blue Die Films office building.
"The Lost Lover" has entered the late stage in early August, and the full film schedule is worry-free.
In this regard, as their second work to develop overseas distribution business, Lehman naturally cares about it.
When he saw Liam, he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"There has no deviation in our production process. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be scheduled for September 3."
The autumn season in September will not only leave some residual heat for the summer season, but also not many opponents will compete for the screen in theaters. For a medium-produced movie, this period will definitely be able to play.
"However." Liam, who felt the puzzled look that Lehman cast, had a clear arrangement for the entire promotional and promotion plan, quickly said: "Due to our overseas channels, the overseas box office of "Despicable" is actually very average compared to North America."
This result is also considered a loss to lay the foundation. Overseas publicity and distribution resources do take time to sink. For this matter, Liam was helpless and also gave a vaccination in advance to prevent his boss from being dissatisfied with his grades. After all, 10 days have passed, and "Despicable Dad" has exceeded 100 million in North America, but it is less than 50 million overseas. It is likely that the box office proportion at home and abroad is unbalanced (especially for Disney cartoons).
"In terms of channel business, we still need time to operate."
"I understand this, any business has a gradual process."
Lehman was not dissatisfied with this. A freshman distribution website would inevitably have some things that could not be taken care of in the early stage, which is normal. Otherwise, he would not have carefully selected the reputation of a few medium-investment movies as the template for early overseas issuance.
"But don't worry, boss, there is no problem with the quality of the films controlled by director David. We all watched them (Landie, North American theaters, and overseas channels) and would not lose money no matter what, especially the slogan you mentioned for the couple group: verification of love. We have thought about it and will definitely make some noise."
The creator of "The Lost Love" is actually not outstanding in box office. David Finch has many fans, but there are more people who don't like his style. The reasons are that he is too strong in his personal style. If he starred Ben Affleck and Rosa Mander Parker, one is on the decline. After "Fatus 911", the box office of the starring actor has not exceeded 100 million. The other is because her husband has a good relationship with David, and she is a graduate of a prestigious university, so she doesn't need to pretend to be a student-to-be (Rosa's husband is Joe White who filmed "Pride and Prejudice".).
