After the car passed by a rockery fountain, he stopped in the open-air parking lot. Lehman got off the car. Looking at the surrounding environment, he sighed, "It's really good here."

Barry Meyer heard this and smiled and said, "If you think it's pretty good, you can come here often. Our old men often make an appointment to play golf here. If multiple young people can join, it can also add some vitality."

However, the secretary assistant secretly conspired to the side. Since he said such words as Barry Meyer, he really valued this young director.

Who is Barry Meyer?

Not to mention how strong Warner Bros. Pictures is in Hollywood and how good the performance is, even the personal connections he has accumulated and the dividends he shares every year, his value is not low.

"Forget it, I don't know much about golf. I prefer to think about movies than that."

"It is good for young people to have career aspirations." Barry Meyer praised with a smile.

Lehman didn't answer the conversation anymore and followed him to a restaurant.

The decoration inside is still quiet and luxurious, and the same setting as private rooms are separated.

However, to be honest, this meal was quite delicious.

The age difference is so much, it is boring and very concerned.

After the meal, Barry Meyer took Lehman to a elegant room at the club and continued to discuss the project.

After a while, I got to the point.

"In addition to the investment conditions of cooperation, let's talk about your personal needs." Barry Meyer said.

Although the data in Warner's annual performance report is quite good today, various problems are also a bit troublesome.

Sony Columbia rose with Spider-Man, and the worst thing to feel is Warner.

In the past, the field of super British movies has always been respected by DC. Now, the Three Kingdoms are suddenly competing for hegemony (20th Century Fox's "Fantastic Four" and "X-Men"), and Warner is naturally not willing to share the fruit with his competitors.

But unfortunately, the adaptation plan of Superman and Batman has not been very smooth. Not only many of them have complaints about the project, but the market prospects of the outside world are not optimistic.

Just as he was in trouble, someone suddenly took over the olive branch he had thrown away.

This young director with a promising future has made Barry Mayer quite expectant.

As soon as Barry Mayer asked, Lehmann said his demands without hesitation, "I am actually very simple. Just give me a more free shooting space on the set. I will decide on the selection of actors, film shooting, post-production editing and even forming a shooting team. How about it? As for the subsequent distribution rights and offline channel income, I can completely give up."

Barry Mayer smiled and said, "I promise you this request. But we must first discuss a plan. If the movie is not well released, your company's investment in funds and share will give priority to making up for Warner's losses."

"Okay." Lehman continued: "If so, the producer will be the one I recommend. In addition, Warner must not easily interfere in the shooting operation of the project. This will make everyone feel sincere in cooperation."

"good."

Barry Mayer now looks more and more pleasing to Lehman. This young man is so fond of him. Not only does he have the talent for directing, but he also knows how to advance and retreat (voluntarily giving up the copyright of the movie and not participating in offline operations is equivalent to actively giving up a piece of meat). He is not arrogant and his personality is not so annoying.

"Director Lehman, have you ever thought about joining Warner? We will definitely treat Europa Pictures more preferentially." Barry Meyer couldn't help but say this.

Faced with such a proposal, Lehman refused without thinking, "Sorry, I am a director. As long as there are good projects, I will naturally cooperate. No one will join."

This is nonsense. The reason is that Lehman doesn't really believe that Warner will really focus on his project. Compared with Europa, Warner is too competitive, and they are not short of money-making projects, such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the Matrix...

Barry Meyer was not surprised when he heard Lehman's rejection. Lehman has never expressed much thought of joining since he dealt with him, let alone, when talking about related cooperation, he can also move forward and retreat freely while fighting. Obviously, he is a very decent and independent person.

Unfortunately, such talents cannot be used entirely for me. Barry Meyer sighed.

In his previous life, Barry Mayer was optimistic about Christopher Nolan's potential. Without saying a word, he supported him to direct the restart of the Batman series, and collaborated on "Deadly Magic", "Inception" and "Interstellar" one after another... As for now, he believes that Lehman has great potential, so he naturally had the idea of ​​whether he could join Warner.

But Lehmann is not Christopher Nolan. Nolan had just made his mark at that time and had no reputation. After being attracted by Barry Mayer, he was still a big platform like Warner, so he would definitely be willing to join. If it were the same as today, Lehmann might have been particularly happy. But now he has worked hard for so long, has had the qualifications and has succeeded several movies. If he is stupidly tied to a company like Warner, he will definitely not be as free as he is now. Lehmann is not stupid.

Of course, it is also risky to be able to get along with each other. For example, what Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures think about cooperation is still unknown.

However, he wasn't afraid.

Anyway, his own project is preferred to cooperate with Europa. In addition to his years of kindness (mainly in the love of Luc Besson), he also has the idea of ​​stabilizing the base camp there.

After the two of them initially unified the general cooperation conditions, Lehman stood up and said goodbye with joy. Barry Mayer wanted to send him off, but Lehman called his agent Johnson to pick him up, so he gave up.

After returning home, Johnson couldn't help but mention, "Does the new project need to cooperate with Warner?"

Lehman smiled and said, "That's right, you need to pay more attention to the specific cooperation terms at that time, but in fact it's almost done."

Johnson suddenly realized that he didn't know what he was working with, but the news still made him very happy. After all, his career was closely linked to Lehman.

"Don't worry, I'll pay more attention."

"Well, then you go back first, I'll go upstairs first."

The roar of the engine sounded again, and Lehman returned to his big house, came to the spacious balcony, looked around, and couldn't help but relax.
Chapter completed!
