Chapter 253 Gossiping
The next day, the newspaper revealed that Lehman Rast was interested in cooperating with Warner. The content was true and false, and some false details were added. For example, the two sides were unfair in the interests of "Saw" and the Paramount store bullying customers. Director Lehman then turned to Warner.
Although this report did not attract much attention from readers, in the eyes of those who are interested, they don’t know who this good show is for.
Today's newspapers are full of great news about Warner: The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution has won 48.47 million US dollars in the box office of the premiere. After landing overseas, it has triggered a wave of movie viewing in various places, with the total cumulative day of the world approaching 100 million.
This is the overseas distribution capability that Warner Pictures relies on. There are really few film companies that can achieve synchronous global distribution.
It is not difficult for international distributors like Europa Pictures to achieve simultaneous release of France and the United States, but it is very difficult to contact so many countries and regions, discuss theaters and determine the release date.
I have to say that Warner is Warner. As a film company that can compete with Peak Disney in the future, its production ability and strong promotional and distribution capabilities are really beyond the reach of ordinary film companies.
Even among the top six Hollywoods, there is a difference between high and low.
And there is no doubt that Warner is the top one at this time.
The day after the banquet, Lehman was in charge of business.
After finally clearing the company's internal personnel situation, the second important thing is to recruit people.
The recruitment advertisement has been posted for a long time, and Lehman asked Caa to help and posted news in the circle. However, most of the people who came to apply for the job are not reliable. When asked about their qualifications, they all just entered the circle and asked about their work experience. Most of them did not have one, and they all wanted to be an executive. Who can agree to this?
To cultivate talents, you have to start from the bottom to know if you have real materials. From now on, you want to manage the management team and don’t have any work qualifications. Lehman just fooled him a few words and sent him away.
There was no progress throughout the morning. In the afternoon, Johnson called and said that he had found the author of the novel and communicated the meeting place.
"Million Dollar Baby" is actually a story in a collection of novels. It has also undergone some artistic processing, making it more dramatic conflict.
After all, movies are not reality. If they are not story-based, they are too dull and the audience has never bought it.
As for the author to be invited, it was because Leman wanted him to help polish the script, or the script adapted by Warner did not satisfy Leman. It was not very interesting in terms of the dialogue or the background of the character. Moreover, Leman also had some things to ask about boxing rules.
Johnson was very sensible and arranged the time at 3 pm.
Lehman drove to a bar called "Josh's Cabin". After looking at the unrestrained and unruly decoration style in front of him, there was not much that could be seen as the bar. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Just like the name, this might be the kind of place to relax among neighborhoods that only greet regular guests.
Of course, the meeting place was decided by someone. If it were Johnson's style, he would definitely choose a cafe.
When I opened the bar door, there was not much space inside, and the seats were close to the bar counter.
It was working time period, and there was only a bartender wiping the wine glass in the bar, and a guest sitting by the bar, drinking while chatting with the bartender.
He was wearing a white and blue plaid gown, with simple loose pants on his lower body, thick boots, and almost fifty-year-old hair on his head.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw Lehman wearing a black suit, and came to meet him. He couldn't help but smile and greeted politely: "Mr. Lehman, please come and sit down."
Although his outfit is incompatible with the surrounding environment, who knows that this will happen after he comes?
This was the first time he met, and the meeting location was arranged in a bar, which was really interesting.
Hearing the hello, Lehman did not hesitate, adjusted his pace, and walked straight towards the bar.
The bartender was also smiling cheerfully, wiping the wine glass in his hand without any pause, and said comfortably: "Man, I am not a serious place to talk about things."
"What's the matter, Josh, I think you're very good here and is suitable for chatting."
The bartender Josh in front of him was obviously the owner of this bar.
And the two are very familiar with each other.
Lehman sat in the seat, Josh put the wine glass in his hand, raised his chin to Lehman, and greeted, "Sir, what do you need to order?"
"A cup of beer."
Then, he turned to look at the person next to him, "Actually, I was quite surprised that the place where I met would be a bar, but in fact, the atmosphere was really good."
"Of course, it will be more lively if it is at night. Everyone is acquaintances, so there is no need to be so reserved."
Lehman looked at his face carefully and smiled, "Yes."
This is an old man with a rough atmosphere, although it sounds a bit contradictory, but it is exactly the case. Just from the age point of view, his wrinkled face and most of his gray hair must be very old.
However, people are very energetic.
The slightly messy silver-white beards looked untreated, as if they were growing wildly at will. The cheeks were slightly red because of drinking alcohol, and the old spots on the forehead looked changed.
The pupils of his eyes were not dim, but instead had a strong smell. At this time, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which subconsciously made people ignore his age.
Beer is here.
Lehman raised his cup, raised his eyebrows, and touched him, "Meeting is a fate, cheers."
"You are an interesting person." The man said, lifting his glass, taking a big sip, then showing a satisfied expression.
"Jerry, can you never live without alcohol in your life?" Josh said helplessly.
"Why leave wine? This is God's reward to the world. I cannot let God down." As he said that, he took another big mouthful.
Lehman listened next to him and also knew the man's name Jerry.
The novel collection published by this guy is called f-x-Tur. Johnson asked for a long time before he got the contact information from the publishing company because the adaptation rights of the script were completed by Paul Haggis. Strictly speaking, any copyright of this movie has nothing to do with him.
