February 7.

The drizzle started to fall since the morning.

The sky is cloudy and there is no sign of stopping.

Since a brief preparatory meeting that day, Warner continued to actively, bringing Tom Hardy with 6 million and Anne Hathaway with 4.5 million respectively.

The leading actors and team members were confirmed and the special training began immediately, while the crew was busy setting up scenes and formulating corresponding props and costumes.

Like Warner's studio No. 3, there are all things you need.

Bat chariot, several sets of bat tights, cloaks, and special Catwoman nightwear that measure Anne's figure and imitation guns...

Of course, Lehman didn't pay attention to these things. After he established the group, he oversaw the preparations for the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" project.

In the afternoon, I had just made an appointment with Fox's production department to meet tomorrow, deconstruct the script and make casting. Assistant Metz knocked in and reminded me that Lionsgate President Jon Feleme sent a notice: "Dawn: (Part 1)" can be used for financial sharing.

Well, it took several months to draw "Dawn" and the box office revenue overseas has finally been calculated clearly. It is time for the producer to share the profit.

During this period, the company has been spending money, expanding department employees, expanding publicity and distribution networks, sinking sales channels, establishing transit warehouses, project-setting movie funds, and a large monthly employee salary expenditure. The more you pay for the deposit, the less you can only look at the reduced figures in financial reports.

So after getting the news of the money, Lehman, who had nothing to do, immediately took the accounting team to the US headquarters of Santa Monica Lions Gate.

Familiar buildings, familiar corridors.

Before entering the office, Lehman also saw the managers appointed by the series' author Stephanie Mel.

When the other party saw him coming, he quickly greeted him enthusiastically.

Although Firefly and Stephanie had a very good relationship with Stephanie when they were buying and selling adaptation rights, with the success of the "Twilight" series, the novel also made a big splash around the world while it was already popular. The sales of various translated versions in other regions also created a profitable source of money for the author. In addition, Firefly never defaulted on, concealed, and deducted the benefits belonging to the author. In this way, there were more channels to obtain information, and Stephanie's impression of Firefly eased up again.

Deliberate greetings for having no friendship.

Lehman waved his hand and said, "Let's go in together."

The group walked into the conference room of the Lions Gate, where Jon Felemay and the financial staff were ready.

"Why are you here? I'll want to talk to you about the "Golden Cicada Escape" project in a few days."

Jon stood up, walked to Lehman, and pulled him down, "We have set up a scene at the Aviation Center (NASA). It has been a long time since the start of the film. You are also one of the investors in this movie. I hope to help us build relationships and get a positive answer as soon as possible. I have asked someone to send the materials to China Film Academy. Next, when the filming is over, you can know whether the content meets the requirements there. If not, the risk of our investment recovery will be a bit high..."

He worried, "There are now being promoted "Narnia Legend 3" and "Creation: War Chronicle". Just yesterday, bad movies like "The Green Hornet" were also introduced. If nothing unexpected happens, the finale of "Harry Potter" that has been announced early? "Mission Impossible 4" has been approved... 14 films, not even the spring is over, and one-third is missing? I am afraid that if the six major players have any action, they will give up our medium-investment projects for more works for them. If it is delayed until next year, the year after that? The longer it is, the harder the promotion period signed with the main creator will be implemented." Jon said as he looked at Lehman.

Well? Actually, he also wants to say how many more Marvel films have been decided to release this year? Because nothing unexpected happens? In the case of political and grading, China Film will give priority to introducing wider movies in the box office market and creating more profits.

"My influence is just that? Otherwise, "Dawn" would not have reviewed many rounds or been eliminated." Lehman spread his hands and signaled that he was not that important.

"This is different. It's a subject matter. The content involves vampires. They must have concerns, but "The Golden Cicada Escape" is just an action-oriented type film? There will be no bloody scenes."

"I try my best."

The Lion Gate is worried that this is the right thing to do. The only thing that has been in exchange for both sides is business, and the Lion Gate has been introduced at a handful of times. In addition, all companies have indeed been making efforts in 11 years.

There are too many threats in the disclosed schedule.

As for "The Green Hornet" mentioned by Jon, it is a completely production joke in the industry:

One day, Columbia's production executive suddenly had a whim to re-enact "The Green Hornet" (actually, it was to consume Blues Lee), and then found Jaylen and Seth Logan to form the actor cast.

However, this kind of work that has no progress was naturally neglected in the film market in January 2011. Even though its budget cost is high and its publicity specifications are not low, when curious audiences jointly contributed 33.52 million yuan to the box office of the first week of painting, their reputation was bad, and the next week it plummeted by 47.5%, and it declined all the way.

Faced with the current situation of the projection market, Colombia already knows that the resources and money they invested in can no longer be saved by North America or the English cultural circle. If you think about it, you will know that someone will definitely take the blame for the failure of the film. Nearly 120 million investment was damaged, so you can still expect Sony to have anything good to say.

The director of the project was forced to do nothing and could only involve the French expectation of awesome vote areas, that is, Asian countries. China Film Group, I don’t know what I think, maybe Jay CNK participated in the show, and thought that his fans would buy it, so I happily introduced it and gave it to many screens.

Then, the paintings were also good, and they fell all the way. So far, they have not created a profit of 8 million US dollars. In addition to being disappointed, someone will bear the responsibility for failure.

This is the case with the six major management models. It is common for executives to lose their jobs due to KPI issues.

Currently, two executives of Columbia's production department have resigned.

......

I exchanged some private words.

Jon Felemay put several thick financial documents in front of everyone.

Then, the accounting teams from several parties calculated around the table.

Lehman roughly flipped it out. This is the settlement of the Lionsgate's $430,918,723 overseas creation of "Dawn", with a total of zero and complete areas.

Since the standards for ticket prices, activities, publicity, investment and account distribution produced overseas vary from place to place and have different deviations, the entire account is dazzling after being mixed.
