Chapter 815
When the box office market of "Death Penalty" fell by 27% the next week, Firefly found several media outlets and issued a notice, saying, "Director Lehman's new work was confirmed as a science fiction subject and will be starring Edward Norton and Hillary Swank."
The financial market is still brewing, and a carnival for a small number of people has begun, but for ordinary movie fans, their concern for Lehmann's new work is greater than the fall of Bear Stearns, because it was perfectly handled by the **** United Federal Reserve without affecting anyone.
New Line Studio.
The interior of the Ninth District in "The Ninth District" is being laid out, but Lehman began to plan the schedule of the movie and released news of cooperation to the outside world, and soon received active contact from multiple studios.
Anyway, since joining forces with Lionsgate to open up overseas markets, Fireflies have received more attention, especially Lehman's project is more qualified to provide more conditions.
One of them is that this Christmas schedule cannot be less than 5 weeks.
Originally, Lehman wanted to find Fox to cooperate, but they might have planned the schedule and were a little hesitant.
Lehman didn't want to delay, so he directly found the private number of the global senior executive Nassim Ellison and called it.
"Hi, Nassim, are you convenient now? I'm Lehman?"
"Well, what?"
"I have a science fiction work with a budget of 130 million yuan and want to find you to cooperate with. Do you want the right to issue the project?"
"Ahem..." Nasim Ellison didn't get well in one breath, and was confused by the news. Under normal circumstances, who knew that Lehman called for a new project, so he wanted to talk to the Hulk, because this was the case in the previous few calls.
It's mid-March now, and it's not far from summer vacation.
As for the new project, Firefly released news, Universal of course knows that although the specific content of "The Ninth District" is confidential, the main creators of Lyman + Edward + Hillary are already anticipated enough. After all, the previous sci-fi thriller directed by Lyman is "Misty", with a global achievement of more than 400 million yuan. Is it guaranteed?
"Of course, do you want me to come?"
"Can you free Christmas this year?" Lehman reminded.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that our company really doesn't have any plans for Christmas, so it's okay to free up the only promotional and promotional period for 5 weeks."
Universal's production pressure this year is quite high, because Universal is a studio that prefers to produce low-cost comedy. It does not have many blockbusters filmed independently every year, far less than Warner and Paramount as strong and courageous.
In addition, the Lion Gate's successful breakthrough made Firefly's situation become more transcendent - two big-selling projects have laid out the overseas interests network, and Global's attitude towards Lehman is mainly attracted, and he is still very enthusiastic when he heard about this.
Leman said hunched and said, "It's not easy to talk carefully on the phone. I think we'd better make an appointment and the two sides will talk formally. What do you mean?"
Nasim replied excitedly: "Do you see if tomorrow can be done?"
If it is a formal negotiation, he has to communicate with the board of directors and other senior executives of the department.
"Okay, let's meet at Universal Pictures' production building tomorrow morning."
......
For Wen Ziren, his recent days are very comfortable, busy and happy.
After the release of "The Death Penalty", he either interviewed or went to major cities to go to theaters to promote the film industry, and then watched the box office performance gradually increase.
Perlman, who is thousands of miles away, also deeply understands this kind of accumulation.
Since taking on the task and contacting overseas publishers to establish a global issuance network, his workload is also very large, but his salary and benefits are also rapidly increasing, including company status and voice.
He knew that when he completed these, he would become the general manager of the film and television copyright department. This was the boss’ commitment to him, so he was particularly passionate, and it was also a career accumulation.
Island country, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Toho Co., Ltd.
This media company is the largest film company in Japan now with the largest cinema and box office revenue.
Dongbao also makes full use of its distribution and projection system (with a total of 350 theaters) to screen other companies and independently produce works, reducing its investment in filming.
Among them, in terms of overseas business, most of the films released by Toho are foreign films, especially American films, and at the same time focus on the development of cooperative filming business with foreign countries.
Well, Lionsgate cooperated with this company, so after spending half a year to get the issuance sites in China, South Korea, Singapore and other regions, he also came to Tokyo.
Then there is a process-based pace, renting a business floor, recruiting local Japanese film talents to register companies, hiding Firefly Capital, and then contacting local powerful publishers, such as Toho Company.
Doing this is similar to the routine of Lions Gate. If the issuing website is completely formed, you will not expose your intentions at all.
There are so many film companies established every year, who would think so much?
Anyway, the early stage is just investing money, organizing a promotion team, contacting the publisher, and getting familiar with it.
In the temporary office, Perlman soon received several job search resumes.
There are also many film practitioners in Japan, and they don’t need to poach people. They just publish recruitment information directly and choose from them. Anyway, local personnel in these regions are just communication tools, and the site manager will still be transferred from the parent company. This is the case with the team configurations organized by Perlman. Unless they prove that they are capable of taking office, they will not harm the interests of the company.
But now there is not even a specific project, and there seems to be no interests or unfavorable things.
Outside the door, Yuichiro Iida looked at the somewhat "sweet" interior scene and hesitated for a moment whether he should go in.
Could it be a liar, he would run away if he cheated? He thought.
There are also many scammers in the Japanese film industry. There are still many scammers who use a specious movie script to invest in. When it is time to film, they will run away.
However, the salary conditions on the recruitment information are quite attractive, with a monthly salary of 900,000 yen, and the requirement is to be engaged in film distribution and related businesses for more than 5 years, and he has also achieved it.
With the mentality of coming, Yuichiro Ida knocked on the door and stepped into the office.
Inside, Perlman was looking through Toho's personnel information. When he saw someone applying for the job, he pointed to the seat in front of him. After waiting for someone to sit down, he said, "Did you bring your resume?"
"Take it." Yuichiro Ida respectfully handed it over.
Perlman took it, looked carefully, and asked, "You have worked at Nisho Co., Ltd. for 8 years, why did you leave?"
"I voluntarily resigned because of some family affairs."
After a while of the conversation, Perlman politely asked someone to leave. After sorting out the job seekers he received in the past three days, he chose two of them who had the best impression, one of which was Yuichiro Ida.
Chapter completed!
