Frank Miller is very famous in the comics industry and he is not a person who likes to enjoy it. Therefore, he does not need to ask for money after he is not short of money. The disastrous defeat of epic war themes like "Troy" can indeed bring him a warning.

After all, the Battle of Hot Spring Pass is not as famous as the Trojan Siege.

From this point of view, Frank is actually a person who attaches great importance to reputation, that is, the audience's evaluation of his works.

"Director Peterson is best at narrating the plot directly, rather than focusing on the role. Inviting traffic actors like Brad Pitt is a mistake. The audience's attention is focused on the protagonist, so they can only fail. In other words, the fault is not his. The choice of the protagonist is something he cannot control. Instead, it is necessary to ignore the rigor of the plot in order to highlight Pitt. This is the flaw." Lehman curled his lips and explained.

Wolfgang Peterson is a German director who debuted in 1973. His works have always been rigorous and straightforward.

"Strike from the Underwater", which was written and directed by himself, "Submarine Storm" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director and two awards for Best Screenplay. In 1984, a movie "The Great Devil" wanted to be a box office hit, and it reflected the popularity, and thus successfully entered Hollywood development.

In 1997, Peterson ushered in an opportunity. Due to environmental adaptation, he did not continue to maintain his results when he first came to Hollywood to make movies. However, he was very prosperous this year. The film "Air Force One" directly entered the top ten of the annual box office rankings, which also allowed Warner to gain a famous director who was both profound and popular. He was overjoyed and continued to support him, and since then he has made great achievements and has no shortage of projects.

But Peterson's amazingness lies in his ability to write and direct, and he rarely misses his works that he recognizes. After encountering "Troy", Warner was afraid that the cast would not be able to support it, so he forced Brad Pitt, the screen idol who was enough to be alongside Tom Cruise at the time.

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise both like to interfere in movies. They have high self-recognition. Then, Pitt's role is unbalanced, not too few, but too many, which makes the storylines of other characters not enough and slightly abrupt.

Later, Peterson suggested that Warner increase the duration. Warner was worried about the market and failed to agree...

After all, in the Hollywood environment, directors have less say. Just like Peterson, who has achieved many achievements, can be swept by capital and unwilling to accept it. Can this person say he can't tell the director?

No, I was born on the set and went from screenwriter to deputy director, director, and in terms of experience, few people are so rich.

In Lehman's opinion, there must be a team of responsible production for the failure of "Troy", but director Peterson is definitely not the one who should bear the failure the most. Warner's arrangement on this matter is simply a mess, a micro-working expert.

The meaning of Lehmann's words is also very clear. Fireflies will not make such mistakes. They can sacrifice the plot for the sake of the market. Zach Schneider is not the unlucky Wolfgang Peterson and cannot have certain power to produce movie projects.

After the filming of "City of Sin", Frank Miller also knew some of the rules in Hollywood. After hearing this, he smiled bitterly: "Success can always be shared by wealth, but failure can't be troubled. It's not that I don't believe in the production ability of Fireflies, but making movies is never easy. It's good to come up with results, but what if it doesn't work?" To put it bluntly, Frank Miller is still concerned about his reputation for his work. He is a shameless person and does not want to be scolded by fans for a little money and make the work mess.

After selling the adaptation rights, many authors found that the movie was completely different from the story they wrote.

Are there few Hollywood studios doing this?

Lehman was also a little helpless, "I can only say that Director Zha is suitable for this project, and his style is like this. Why not, you can first look at a few shots of the test shots and feel the effect. And if you agree, I can guarantee that when the movie is filmed, you will be the project producer and check it yourself."

Although in the system of Lehman, the producer's authority has become a logistics manager, who manages budget expenditure, props, clothing, extras, and lunch boxes, it just cannot manage shooting.

The significance of the birth of the producer-centered system is good. It can control the film production funds most effectively and prevent the director from shooting randomly or randomly. However, it does not mean that the filming is all listened to the production. In that case, what is the use of the director?

The failure of many works is that it limits the director's right to speak too much. You should know that even though some directors like to temporarily change the shooting plan, this is not all.

Of course, if Frank Miller said this to him a few years ago, he would probably not agree with it.

But he himself realized the charm of the movie.

It was a more intuitive visual enjoyment different from the paper. The success of "City of Sin" allowed Frank, who was getting older, to objectively examine the principles he adhered to.

Although the heart of profit and wealth is weak, the funeral of reputation is prosperous.

It is said that people die for a hundred years and their works will be passed down forever.

Frank was not completely pedantic and did not allow outsiders to change his works at all. Instead, he must reflect the generality of his creation. It cannot be completely different. Shooting in leather.

Lyman is very sincere, and with Director Za’s careful preparation, Frank Miller finally agreed to give the adaptation rights of "300 Dead Soldiers" after seeing the test shot style.

The author agreed and the rest would be easier to deal with. After several rounds of negotiations based on the market price, he bought the copyright time limit for 5 years for 8 million. After the movie was released, the copyright development income belonging to the author was also calculated separately.

Moreover, Frank Miller serves as one of the project producers and has certain control over the project.

As for Zach Schneider, he would be even happier.

Being able to direct your favorite works will immediately burst into unlimited energy.

While discussing script writing, we waited until the first fund was recorded by 12 million yuan, and started to build the crew.

Another producer who replaced the Firefly supervision project shooting was Garcia.

Lehman was actually very excited about the finalization of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

The company's future big moves are in urgent need of funds, and the project that director, the director, is also a hit in his career, which can alleviate certain financial pressure.

There are six months left, and signs of subprime mortgage storm begin to appear.

One year left, the subprime mortgage crisis entered a period of rapid outbreak.

Within one and a half years, the US financial market was the first to collapse. The government launched various measures to rescue the market, but it still could not recover the decline.

Two years left, the 2008 financial crisis swept across countries.

And then, it was definitely the best time to buy at the bottom to strengthen Mann Media.

Whether you can control enough resources, break through the blockade, and stand at the top of Hollywood, you need to accumulate enough funds to implement the bottom-buying plan.

......

After the project was established in "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", there were actually some debates within Fireflies.

Because Hollywood has not achieved much results in recent years, instead, epic themes are often seen on the loss list.

If you mobilize a budget of nearly 70 million US dollars to shoot, you can only make a profit of at least 200 million yuan worldwide. It has to be said that there are still certain risks, especially the audience's impression that there are always no outstanding similar themes, and subconsciously they will label the movie as a bad movie.

This is like shooting science fiction themes in mainland China. It always gives people the feeling that it is not that reliable. Unless the quality of the movie is indeed excellent, if the reputation really doesn't rise, you will definitely lose it.

But Lehman has always made the idea of ​​project production.

What he is sure of is still of a certain degree of credibility. Although Firefly is worried, it is still very active.

Ryan stood at the door of the office and heard the discussion inside, wondering if he should go in.

Through the explanation of Leman's assistant, he knew that Leman was determining the second main character for the audition for "Old Nowhere", that is, the old policeman who was at a loss after the rules of the representative in the script was broken, and witnessed the collapse of things step by step from beginning to end from a participatory but bystander perspective.

The old policeman was unable to see the killer until the end, let alone seized and sent to prison, but he was chasing the traces of the innocence of the thug.
