The two of them communicated for a while, in front of Lehman.

After the conditions were set, Barry Meyer still agreed, but Joshua Blumer seemed to have some ideas.

"Are you really going to give in to casting?"

"Hey, didn't you say that everyone was discussing it? What does it mean to make concessions?" Lehman was a little dissatisfied.

"You directors always have selfish intentions, which is never a good thing for normal filming." Joshua also has his own reasons, "We will not have a bias, and will screen out the most suitable ones."

"Everyone has his own considerations. For casting, it is impossible to have no selfishness. Anyway, it requires everyone's consent, right? We won't do anything randomly, and I hope you will do the same."

Joshua was about to say something, but was interrupted by Barry Mayer, "That's it, you can ask your lawyer team to come and check the last contract."

"You value this kid too much." Joshua was still complaining.

"Don't make things too complicated, okay?" Barry Mayer said: "We have been delaying the adaptation of the Super England project for too long. And the Superman Return Plan you are responsible for, can it work? Just because the director has withdrawn one after another, two directors have been replaced. Can the third one be negotiated? We don't have time to delay, and we must open up the situation first, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the board of directors."

Speaking of this, Barry Meyer was also a little unhappy.

Because some people have too strong desire to control, they can't even find a suitable director for the movie that has been launched.

Every time I just joined the group, I immediately forced the explosion and left the scene in anger.

Of course, Joshua was not something he could decide. For such executives, as long as there is no big mistake, the board of directors will not take any measures against him, at most it is a warning.

"I understand, I understand..." Joshua promised immediately.

Barry Meyer spread his hands, "Some shareholders already have some opinions on us, and I am almost out of patience. In short, will the DC comics be successful or not? When it is time to flip, I don't want Colombia and 20th Century Fox to continue to be free, do you understand?"

Joshua's face looked a little bad, but he nodded and left the office.

Lehman saw all this.

Presumably, Joshua's strength also aroused Barry Meyer's dissatisfaction.

Batman's project was promoted by him, and he would not allow him to delay it like this.

"Where did we just talk about it?"

"lawyer."

"Yes, let your team sign the contract as soon as possible. I hope to see this movie in the summer next year. Is it OK?"

"Yes, that's plenty of time."

"That's good."

......

Taking advantage of the time of the lawyers' review, Lehman carefully read it.

Joshua is the director of the production department, he is very strong, but Barry Meyer is the one who has the best idea of ​​this project.

The powers of the two are not on the same level, even though Barry Meyer actually rarely cares about production.

But according to the current situation, Barry Meyer is much more determined than Joshua and has a more positive attitude.

In his spare time, he kept holding the phone and chatting with senior executives of agency companies such as Caa, William Morris, and ICM to communicate about the news of the project shooting.

He was a little urgent, but for Lehman, most of the interests of the two were consistent.

Development projects, launching markets, and making money to recover.

It's just a little bit of voice, and he can't compete for it.

But Joshua's approach is very uncomfortable. Although he agrees in the general direction, he is calculating in everything and always wants to take care of his department in the project team.

You can't say that there is something wrong, but the way you act is displeasing.

Barry Meyer appears to be more sleek and willing to take care of other people's emotions.

There is no big problem with the contract.

Both sides are still as standard as they have set before.

The copyright and issuance rights belong to Warner, and the funds are under the responsibility of Firefly Pictures. Warner occupies 20 million investment share, and invests in the project and the income is divided by proportion.

Nolan, as a director, also quickly signed a director contract.

In this contract, he can get about 5 million yuan in basic remuneration and box office incentives similar to bets.

For example, if North America breaks 300 million, he can get an additional two million bonus, which is 3.5 million, and 400 million is the upper limit.

Since Spielberg made more than 200 million yuan in "Jurassic Park" by relying on box office incentives, many production companies have learned their lessons and will add an incentive box office ceiling to prevent such things from happening again.

After the negotiations, a wine party was set up internally.

"Hey." Lehman raised his cup and took the initiative to show kindness to Joshua.

The road is complete, and the director of the production department is no longer so strong. It may be Barry Meyer who has played with him, which makes his understanding of the cooperative shooting of the entire project clearer. "Cheers." He took the initiative to drink it all.

The relationship between the two is a bit subtle. He is the first producer, and Joshua will definitely find someone to put it in the crew. Who will you listen to then?

Whoever has the final say on the set has the power. But everyone knows in their hearts that it is time to end the calculation.

Joshua couldn't just focus on one project, he wasn't that idle.

"Cheers." Barry Meyer, who had worked hard for Warner Brothers for most of his life, returned to his smiling face, as if no disputes had happened before, and his communication skills were still online. "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"Cheers." Joshua also spoke.

The wine is just a small taste, or it is still working hours, and no one present wanted to drink it openly.

After two drinks, Barry Meyer prepared another contract and had to sign it.

This is a commissioned shooting of Batman copyright, and it also means that the project can be invested in the shooting budget at a price of 20 million, but it is an agreement paid by Firefly Pictures.

Anyway, Lehman can't covet any copyright use of Batman.

This is not something that can be settled simply by using abilities or favors, favors, etc.

After confirming that, Lehman signed the contract.

In duplicate, each keeps it.

After all, Lehman left the Warner Building with his lawyers, paid the compensation he should have paid, and called his agent Johnson, "You should help me screen out the right distribution company as soon as possible. It is urgent to establish a North American channel. I don't want to be so passive anymore."

"I've been paying attention and have already had some goals. I'm in contact with their management and want to get an issuer with a complete equity and personnel channel, which is what you want the most. Isn't it?"
