Chapter 519 "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith"

Lehman was awakened by his biological clock. When he opened his eyes, a few rays of sunlight poured into the big floor-to-ceiling window, making people feel sleepy.

After getting dressed, washing, thinking for a while, I found a stack of manuscript paper from the table and continued to write the outline of the new drama I started last night.

The cooperation about Paramount can still be promoted.

Compared with the memories in my mind, Lehman lowered his head to describe it.

The rustling pen tips touched the sound of the paper, just like the sound of nature, but alarmed the beauty on the bed.

Eva turned her head and looked for a while, changed her clothes, walked to the balcony, and greeted lazyly: "Good morning..."

"Good morning, Eva."

Eva leaned over and watched for a while, then washed herself and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

As for the script, Lehman said that the characters in it were not suitable for her, so she didn't care.

Gradually, the outline was gradually improved, and Lehman sorted it out and signed the name carefully - "Mr. Smith".

Yes, in the original time and space, this work should have been produced by Dingfeng Entertainment - later acquired by Lion Gate. Although he is not doing well now, he is barely considered a second-tier studio brand.

In terms of the starting point of the project, it should be the original work written by the original screenwriter Simon Kimberg after graduating from the Columbia University School of Film. This guy likes Hong Kong action movies very much, and later wrote the "Extreme Agents" series, which is considered an action fan.

Then after the first draft of the script was completed, Kimberg went to find producer Achiva Gaussman. Generally speaking, screenwriters with too little experience in the industry need to be supported by noble people. Coincidentally, Gosman and Kimberg were very chatting, and the former won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay because of "Beautiful Mind". It was considered a success.

After reading the script, Gossman told Kimberg that I was willing to help you promote this project and adapt it into a movie, so I asked him to adapt the copyright. Without this step, Gossman would not have the capital to intervene. Kimberg is a newcomer, so he can't do anything.

After obtaining the copyright, Gossman used his network to look for relationships everywhere, and finally he was spotted by Dingfeng Entertainment and shot together.

Of course, in this life, they were not so soon, and Lehman filed the script in advance. This is because the movie is an original script, so there will be no conflict.

And since meeting Shirley the day before yesterday, this guy has promoted it everywhere, openly and secretly building momentum for this cooperation - their family has huge media resources, which makes Lehman very passive in an instant.

Of course, Lehman also knew that Paramount had only two plans for the news.

First, we will quickly finalize this matter, boost the confidence of investment institutions and shareholders, and alleviate her pressure in the company - anyway, the studio has no results, which means that the executives’ positions are unstable;

The second is to promote and hype in advance, and the instructions of the big boss Lei Shidong can be fulfilled.

But this also forced Lehman to really promote the project as soon as possible.

After all, Fireflies still want to continue to grow, and it is impossible to have only one ideal partner. Even if they want to join the Sixth League, they cannot completely get into the Sixth League - or in other words, to win over and suppress one faction. According to Taizu's secret technique of slaying dragons, the more friends they unite, the less enemies will naturally decrease. This is called internalization.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is obviously a very suitable project to ease the relationship, because this movie is very popular for promotion, but the worst thing about Bluedie Pictures is promotion. Even if it is given, it won't work. It might as well take it out and cooperate with Paramount.

Just like DreamWorks also has a North American distribution channel, but the masterpieces will still be handed over to the six major distributions - Spielberg is also a sensible person. He forced himself to do his own resources. He should have sold a big box office, but it would be good if he could recover the cost.

Of course, Lehman knew this very well. Liam had not told him how much food Blue Die Pictures should eat. Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, those who invested more than 70 million US dollars must give away most of the profits to six major aspects.

Only by laying out the six major voices in media channels early can we have enough publicity and distribution resources to release a high investment and high risk work that should have market potential.

Then, Leman took the script outline and asked his own screenwriter department to improve it - lines, etc. Leman is not an authentic American and cannot communicate in oral language at all.

On the one hand, notify Paramount of the project review news - the review means contacting the Allianz Fire Foundation to provide third-party guarantees, including crew accident insurance and film completion guarantees.

During this period, Lehman also discussed with Liam how to use Paramount’s distribution channel network through this cooperation.

Liam also thought about this, so he said, "Don't we pay half of the publicity fee?" He simply transferred to the team to show cooperation. I went to touch the path myself, and there was a high possibility that Paramount would agree.

"The films made by Paramount last year also make money, but compared to several competitors, the data is not that good. Do you think those shareholders are willing to reduce their profits year by year?"

Originally, these few years have been Paramount's period of weakness, and in his previous life they blamed Shirley Lansing for being ruled, so they were obviously unwilling to do so. The competition among the Six Majors is very stressful, and there is cooperation, and more are the kind of fighting each other and killing them when they find an opportunity.

Logically speaking, Paramount has a lot of background and should be revitalized - the best publicity resources combined with qualified production capabilities should not be at the bottom for many years.

But Paramount lacks a very critical link after entering the new millennium - the series of movies.

Yes, among the six majors, Paramount has the worst ability to make movies in series - first Universal, 20th Century Fox, and behind Sony Columbia's Spider-Man series emerged. Then Warner successively developed "Harry Potter", "The Matrix", and DC-making. Disney has all produced "Pirates of the Caribbean", even MGM is in a downturn, and there is also "007" to support it. They film one from time to time, and can make a lot of profits even if they have old capital.

And Paramount, what is Paramount?

"Mission: Impossible"?

Without Tom Cruise, the Mission: Impossible project could not be launched unilaterally.

In other words, the series of movies is the trump card that can relieve production pressure the most, but Paramount failed to catch up with this trend of the times. To be honest, even the new line, Lianmei and Firefly Pictures are not as good as that. At least, the risk of making series of movies is the least, and the market returns are superimposed.

For example, if it weren't for the series, could the third part be sold at such a high box office based on the script concept of a bit unfinished?

Don't even think about it.

So, everyone has the big and big kings in their hands, and they don’t feel panic when they fight. This makes Paramount embarrassed.

Then, if you cooperate with Firefly Pictures, you may naturally give in and give in - the distribution of interests is not enough, and you can't refuse to participate in promotion and distribution. After all, Blue Die Pictures came to sneak relationships under the banner of help...
