This time, the Cannes Film Festival was successful. Not only can I upgrade my resume, but it is more realistic that the subsequent operation of the film has been much smoother. Perhaps the frustrated person, except Hillary, has gained a lot.

Los Angeles, Warner Pictures.

Barry Meyer, who received the news, was very happy.

There is a feeling that the optimistic talent did not disappoint him.

Then he notified the publicity department and asked them to add a little fire while the heat was hot.

It happened that Cannes closed and many press releases were sent back to the United States.

So, when the people got up the next day, news about Cannes was overwhelming.

"The 57th Cannes International Film Festival "Million Dollar Baby" won the three heavyweight trophys, Best Director and Best Actor." "New York Daily"

"Director Lehman won the highest Cannes award in his new work. He received numerous praises on screen and recommended by many critics." Los Angeles Daily.

"There are three out of six points and three, and "Million Dollar Baby" became the biggest winner of the Cannes Film Festival." San Francisco Report.

......

Suddenly, a huge wave of turmoil was caused.

Many movie fans were affected by this and were very interested in movies that had not been released but had won the grand prize.

I really want to know what charm this rumored masterpiece has.

The Lion Gate is so bitter.

Their operation "Fahrenheit 911" won a script award, and there was no attention at all.

If it weren't for the fact that my family had lost more than 100,000 US dollars in publicity fees, major newspapers would probably not even give it a page. But even so, the related news was suppressed by the popularity of "Million Dollar Baby" and did not cause any noise.

At first glance, it was all Lehman, new works, "Million Dollar Baby", Palme d'Or... all are core elements and news points, and no one cares about "Fahrenheit 911".

The only thing that made Lions Gate feel relieved was that "Million Dollar Baby" did not intend to be released directly with this popularity, but issued a notice saying that it would not be released in December.

This instruction is very easy to understand. Warner seems determined to compete for the Oscar.

But "Fathurt 911" is different. Although Lionsgate also wants to compete for the Oscars, they still consider the market first compared to honors.

They waited for the popularity of "Million Dollar Baby" to pass, and made a big wave of publicity, and directly pushed it into the theater.

The fans were a little unhappy and were looking forward to it just now, but it turned out to be screened in December.

Of course, there is nothing we can do.

For Warner, if the benefits of such a masterpiece that can win awards cannot be maximized, wouldn’t it be given in vain?

If you can shine in the Oscars and take this trend, you don’t know how much higher the copyright operation is than the simple box office.

Everyone has their own abacus.

On May 29, after Ryman figured out the trivial matters, he set off for the United States.

After getting off the plane, Johnson first asked Hillary Swank to his home, and then returned to his villa and mansion.

Only the housekeeper watched, and Eva did not come back even after filming.

Lehman put his luggage and put two specially checked trophys in the exhibition cabinet.

Take a shower and then lie on the bed to rest.

After working hard along the way, I soon fell asleep.

After resting at home for a day, he adjusted his health. On May 31, Lehman went to the company again.

Joseph's management methods are indeed good.

At least, it's better than when he was there.

The staff departments are divided in sequence, and the promotion and reduction reward and punishment system has also set a standard.

In addition, the recruiting staff has not stopped in the past few weeks. After Lehman entered the company, he found that Firefly Pictures had long grown from more than 80 employees to more than 110.

At least the production department has met the scale of opening three dramas at the same time.

As employees increase, the office area must also be expanded.

Following Joseph's suggestion, Lehman rented two office rooms upstairs and then simply decorated them. It is estimated that he will be able to settle in and use them in a week.

Joseph is indeed excellent in his ability, and he has experienced it in Colombia, so he has no shortage of vision and methods of managing the company.

Of course, he can only be considered average when it comes to film and television production capabilities, because he has rarely been exposed to similar businesses in so many years, but he still has some experience in publicity and marketing and market research.

However, Lehman is the person in charge of the production business. It is very satisfying that Joseph can manage the daily operations of the company.

He made up his mind that giving Joseph an extra bonus at the end of the year was also an inspiration.

Then, the expansion of the production department also requires a deputy to coordinate his ideas.

Only talking about ability and closeness, Lehman wanted Thomas to be the one.

But Thomas is reluctant and doesn't want to work hard.

People have no idea, and Lehman is not tough either.

So he first asked Black Cole to serve as vice president of the production department to assist him in his work.

Black Cole is an old man from the original company and has been Ryan's deputy before, but the production department is the company's ace department. Although the rank has not been raised, his status has been raised a little, so he is naturally happy.

After dealing with trivial matters, Lehman began to write the script of "Daydailer".

Since we met Jin Carrey by chance, the two of us have worked together sincerely, we naturally cannot let go of such a work that we liked very much in our previous life.

It was also in these days that "The Day Afternoon" operated by 20th Century Fox was officially released.

He also took the time to run to the Chiefs Stone Theater to participate in the premiere.

Actually, this movie has no storyline, but the special effects are very good.

Whether it is a flood or a small glacier, it gives people a strong visual effect.

Film critics naturally don’t like this kind of popcorn work much, mostly mocking and criticizing.

But the audience was very satisfied, the ticket price was very worthwhile, but the market responded enthusiastically.

On the first day, it won more than 23 million box offices without the midnight event.

Eva still couldn't rest.

It is also the actor's obligation to get paid to go public.

In addition to the premiere, Eva followed the crew to perform roadshows everywhere.

Lehman, after writing the script outline, asked Ryan to supplement the lines and story background, and sent a copy to Jin Carrey to let him figure out the role well.

Just as the movie's scene storyline is completed, Johnson is here.

A message is also brought.

It was said that Barry Meyer asked him to meet.

Lehman was a little confused. The film was finished and everyone knew the operation process.

What does it mean to invite him to meet now?

Asked Johnson, Johnson didn't know either.

He is only responsible for leading the conversation.

You know, Warner's summer vacation is not easy.

The failure of "Troy" has caused considerable losses to Warner.

With this thought, Lehman agreed to meet.

Anyway, no matter what, he still plans to continue to hold Warner Bros.
Chapter completed!
