When we arrived at the back, Stephen King felt more comfortable when he looked at the two of them.

Great writers are also human beings and ordinary people.

He even wrote in a magazine column when he was in his 40s that he wanted to become a Mark Twain-style writer, not a so-called horror writer.

He actively embraced the film and television circle. At first, he made more money, and later because of enjoyment, he was praised by the audience when his novel was adapted into a film and television drama.

He has also met many directors, box office hits, arrogant, and literary...

But none of them are like Lehman.

How to say it.

Respectful words, decent posture, and respect yourself very much.

What he actually doesn't like is that some directors are here to ask for the right to adapt the movie, but they seem to give him face, or just pay for money when they meet.

He is not short of wealth, nor does he like luxury.

He wants to pursue fame more than wealth. This is also the place where many older generations agree on their thoughts.

After making enough money, I want to pursue "remaining a name".

Coincidentally, Lehman guessed these things too.

After a suitable response, Stephen King had a very good attitude and agreed that Lyman wanted to get the copyright of the movie adaptation of "Mist" in his heart.

With a smile, he raised his glasses up and nodded to Lehman and said, "I will say hello to them. Do you want to settle down in the past two days?"

Lehman's tone was a little excited, "Thank you, sir, I will shoot "The Mist" well."

Stephen King looked at Lehman more and more, and his eyes narrowed, "If you have any questions, you can also talk to me. This is my private phone number."

He took out a business card from the drawer on the side of the small table. It was very simple, with only a string of numbers and nothing else.

Lehman took it respectfully and thanked him twice.

At this time, Tabitha came over again.

Seeing this, Leman took the initiative to retreat with great scruples and said, "As soon as I met, I wanted to chat a few more, but it was not too early, so it was inconvenient to chat. If I had free time in the future, I would come to ask in person."

At this time, the gyro had already woken up from the fan status. Seeing the two of them having basically agreed to the movie adaptation rights of the novel, they already understood that Leman had got what he wanted.

Although he does not have the ability to tell lies like Leman, he does not lack politeness.

He then followed suit and quitted from the villa.

As soon as he came out, he said with some emotion: "When can I adapt Mr. Stephen's works too."

"You can come and talk if you want."

"But I don't know what to shoot, I have no clue at all." Gyro was a little disappointed.

After filming "Hellboy", he entered the window period again, and when he was free, he was thinking about where to develop his new work.

"Haha, then you'd better get the "The Walking Dead" first, and think about the rest slowly."

"What's the difficulty of TV series? You have written all the scripts." Gyro said disdainfully.

Like ordinary film directors, he is not very good at creating TV series.

Well, Lehmann doesn't like it either.

If he hadn't made money, he would definitely not have the idea of ​​filming a drama.

"It's good that you have confidence. Don't forget that the investment in TV series is also from your studio."

The initial investment of "The Walking Dead" is 10 million, and the total investment in the first season will probably not exceed 60 million. Among them, Gyro himself and his studio accounted for a total budget of 12 million, Constantine Pictures and other investors accounted for about 18 million, and the rest was invested by Firefly Pictures.

However, the allocation ratio is not entirely based on the investment ratio.

The main reason is that Firefly Pictures and the TV stations that have obtained the broadcast rights jointly allocate most of the profits. The remaining investors and creative teams can eat meat, while the young actors and some behind-the-scenes filming teams drink soup.

In addition, the series itself is very influential and does not lack publicity hotspots. Lehmann has two requirements for the cast:

1. The image is appropriate.

2. The pay is cheap.

To sum up, if you have the strength but the salary cannot be high, the shooting cost will be reduced.

The casting work has been spread through various economic companies. The first threshold is to select internally among these brokerage companies, and then to determine the matching degree of roles based on various conditions.

Finally, it was Lehman, Gyro, Jonathan, Ryan and others who decided on the final round. Pay more attention to the actors' salary needs and not exceed the actor's budget for the filming.

While walking, the two chatted about the next crew preparations.

After Lehman obtained Stephen King's approval, he only needed to sign a formal contract with the cultural company he created and just follow a program; on the gyro side, some of the crew's shooting teams were from his studio, and some were selected from the production department of Firefly Pictures. The preparations for the sets and props have begun, and the actors are waiting for the actors to take their place.

Drive home and send the gyro back to his studio first - his studio rented it on the 7th floor of the business building located across the street from Firefly Pictures.

Several other co-directors are similar, and they don't usually stay in the Firefly Pictures building to work.

As for the studio's administrative expenses and personnel salaries, they are also responsible for their respective duties.

Let me put it this way, if there is a cooperative project, Lehman will make a big contribution and undertake part of the production business, and will also help find channels to issue and launch it into the market to make profits; these studios will invest and assist in filming, and obtain project revenue according to the signed contract.

There are six major subsidiaries such as Fox Searchlight and Focus Pictures, and the development model of the sharing of business is the same.

The only difference is that they are larger in size, while Lehman and others are smaller in size.

But the same is that they all maintain a certain degree of independence. For example, after DreamWorks joined Paramount, the senior positions have basically not changed. How to manage them or how to manage them.

After Lehman arrived home, it was already past 8:36.

He and Eva got together in the room to settle the accounts, and arranged for Eva to allocate time on the "The Walking Dead" crew and the "Mist" crew.

The shooting of the TV series will definitely be established as Gyro said, and the crew will be produced as soon as possible.

As for "Misty", it may take one or two days to get the copyright, and then it will be the preliminary preparations for the movie. It is estimated that it will be fast to start the film next February.

Therefore, Eva's scenes are only concentrated and she can get the bento early, which is beneficial to the promotion and promotion.

Well, toolman Eva.

The meaning of settlement is that Eva's statistics on her assets this year. She earned about 43 million yuan and spent more than 27 million yuan. The female celebrities did spend too much, and the CAA's economic commission was not very high.

Among them, advertising endorsements, commercial performances account for 30%, actors' salaries and box office incentives account for 60%, and the remaining 10% is the profit of the reasonable investment of her assets by the agency team arranged by CAA for her.

After happily reporting to Lehman, Eva was still quite happy.
Chapter completed!
