Legendary Hollywood Director

Lyman is really funny.

The reason for laughing is the general trend of the times, why is it so accidental?

Yes, this script is very familiar to Lyman.

It was also the first blockbuster film that Eva received in Hollywood in her previous life, almost ruining her stardom, and the failed work Kingdom of Heaven, which was silent for several years afterwards.

It can be said that this is also 20th Century Fox's ambitious work aimed at this summer's release. It has high expectations and a very strong production team - the investment budget is as high as more than 130 million US dollars, even in Hollywood, where blockbusters are gathered. It is also a first-class investment.

And the script is based on the true story of the Crusades that defended Jerusalem in 1187. It can be said to be well-known in Europe and the United States, and it has a natural adaptation effect;

The behind-the-scenes team has been preparing for this for three months, using hundreds of props and costumes to participate in the design. In order to truly restore the history, the horses and the group of troops have already started training, and they have also established a large area in Morocco. On location……

In addition, the director is Ridley Scott, who used Gladiator in front of him - the same ancient epic theme, fame and fortune, and he was nominated for the Oscar for best director. Besides, he The Alien series is also a box office guarantee. It is quite good at shooting big scenes, and it is also the most suitable director candidate.

In terms of actors, Jeremy Irons, Liam Neeson, Orlando Bloom, Edward Norton... It is necessary to have acting skills, traffic flow, and reasonable distribution.

Finally, there are veterans in the industry such as Simon Atherton and Jenti Yates as assistant directors to assist in the gatekeeping - everyone in this team feels very confident.

There is no doubt that 20th Century Fox also thinks so, otherwise it would not be so generous, and it is certain that the investment is so high, and it will definitely be profitable.

It's a pity... it's a miserable loss, all the filming staff suffered a big loss, director Ridley Scott went directly from the first-line director, everyone competed for it, and it became necessary to rely on earning money to turn around. It can be seen how unreliable this project is. spectrum.

Therefore, Lehman only has some Coke now. After all, Eva took the show in her previous life, and now she is doing so well, why did she turn her head and still encounter it.

But it didn't work out. The role of the heroine was originally suggested by Ridley. He said that after watching her performance, he thought it was very suitable and the image was very suitable. As for the investor, 20th Century Fox, of course, he would not refuse - I gave it all. A lot of money, afraid to hire an actor? Furthermore, the more appealing the actor is, the better the risk can be reduced, so the film contract was sent.

Why, what are you laughing at? Eva asked curiously: I think this role is not bad, with a lot of scenes, and Fox also offered a very sincere salary, more than 9 million...

Old God Lehman sat comfortably in the chair, listening to Eva's little excitement, and remembering that if the movie didn't pay, it would be really suitable to play.

Just as Ridley invited, Eva has a very classical charm, and she can also increase her performance by playing with a lot of old actors.

However, this is a pit.

Filming this drama, I don't know how much filth happened...

Lehman put away the script and suddenly became serious, Reject it, it is very risky.

Huh? Eva couldn't believe it.

According to her team's analysis, the box office is quite guaranteed.

Ridley is going to roll over this time. Lyman said with emotion.

ancient epic?

No matter how big the investment or how powerful the lineup is, there is naturally a three-point risk, because facts will prove that not many audiences will be satisfied with this theme.

However, when Eva heard Lyman say this, Xiaoxiao fought for it, Is it really not possible?

If it's just for the role, I suggest you take it,

It's good for you to partner with a movie star like Edward Norton. But it has to be explained in advance that this movie will lose money to a large extent. Compared with last year's Troy, it can be seen that the audience does not buy any epic subject at all. Of course, Fox sincerely invited and offered high remuneration. Few Hollywood actresses are willing to refuse, but you must know that this is the market value you have risen step by step, and you are the only one who can suffer the most in the middle. experience. A failure, go back to the past, are you willing to gamble?

Eva shook her head.

There are many examples like Hollywood. Even if I am a director, I have to be careful to avoid failure.

Okay, I'll let the assistant decline.

Of course it's best if you think so.

...

Time has entered March, and while The Mist can still reap the box office overseas, it is officially released in North America.

As the biggest winner of this February schedule, although The Mist has received 212.65 million US dollars from North America due to the excessive publicity expenditure, compared with the investment, the box office is only a small profit, and even overseas, even the profit is not enough. 20000000.

But what was successful was that Blue Butterfly Pictures took the first step to develop the theater channel, and it was the one that made a big hit—this was enough, it was a victim, and Lehman was very satisfied to be able to make a profit.

On March 10th, Lehmann's co-production crew and Blue Butterfly Pictures are going to hold a celebration banquet.

A movie like The Mist with a good box office cannot be justified if it is not held.

Lyman just drove Eva to the hotel parking lot, only to be surrounded by a group of paparazzi.

Hilton's security guards are also very strong, and they are very dutiful to protect them, but the paparazzi don't eat this, they still shout at their throats:

Mr. Rust, do you have a new shooting plan? Can you tell me a little.

Miss Eva, I heard that you rejected Fox's invitation. What special reason prompted you to make this decision?

Director Lehmann, what's your comment on the recently announced masterpieces?

Miss Eva, Miss Eva...

Most of the questions asked by these paparazzi are malicious and full of traps. If they are not careful, they may be taken out of context.

Therefore, Lehman and Eva ignored them at all, and had to hurry into the banquet hall in an almost embarrassed manner under the protection of the security guard.

These uncrowned kings are indeed difficult to deal with, one is better than the other.

Hilton's hotel manager stood at the door and greeted him with a smile: You two, the celebration banquet is on the third floor, please.

He waved his hand and took the initiative to lead the way.

In other words, a lot of people were invited to this celebration, but most of them were independent filmmakers or producers with good connections in the circle.

After all, after Blue Butterfly Pictures has the ability to distribute in North America, it also needs to deal with these people, or cooperate, or win over, all for the very basic issue of film sources.

So, this is actually a social cocktail party. Liam used it to get closer to people. No, it just happened that The Mist was down. With this solid performance as a guarantee, those who are interested in Blue Butterfly Pictures There are also many...
