Legendary Hollywood Director

An invitation issued in the name of Lehman, for actors, basically no one will refuse, even the popular movie star agent Bond is no exception.

At least, Pierce Brosnan rushed to the Paramount headquarters building with his agent early the next morning after receiving the news.

Soon, an inconspicuous black commercial vehicle was parked, and Brosnan hurried upstairs.

About half an hour later, several main creators came to the office.

It was also at this time that Catherine Zeta-Jones and Pierce Brosnan actually read the entire script of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and understood what kind of story the film told.

Of course, to be honest, the plot of the script is not complicated at all, and even a little disappointing, but the two British actors can feel that the market prospect of this film may be good. After all, isn't the 007 series also popular with routines and audiences. Still able to support.

Moreover, the leader of this project is Lehmann. Under such circumstances, even if some doubts are quickly dismissed, there must be no reason to refuse to act.

Who doesn't know the power of Lehmann's works?

In addition to negotiating cooperation, this time the main creators met, but also slightly modified the role template according to the two actors' own circumstances to make them more suitable for the images of the two actors.

After the two read the script, they also made some comments at the right time.

Anyway, what makes these two certain is that, with their current reputation, if this project with an investment of more than 80 million can be successful, it will definitely bring a lot of career assistance.

Afterwards, the two actors basically had no problem with the performance, and their agents were also instructed to strive for a good salary as much as possible under the premise of establishing cooperation.

This kind of work has nothing to do with Lyman, and it is better for Paramount to negotiate.

Several are still discussing script shooting.

In the words of Pierce Brosnan, he is a little unwilling to play the same type of role again, so the play is too limited, except that the agent is the killer, anyway, it is inseparable from the action field.

Of course, because of Lyman, he agreed.

However, Lehman can also understand Brosnan's mentality. The other party is almost unable to come out in the image of Bond. To put it bluntly, the audience is not happy for him to play non-action themes, and the acceptance is not high.

The transformation is basically hellish difficulty, this is the shackles brought to him by the 007 series, just like Hugh Jackman leaves Wolverine, and 80% of the works he starred in will hit the street. The play is fixed.

However, if you don't star in the 007 series, who will recognize you? This pros and cons cannot be bypassed.

Lehman said, Don't worry about expanding the way of play. Many actors will encounter this kind of hurdle. If the rash transformation project fails, wouldn't it be more difficult?

Lehman knows Brosnan's path as an actor. After leaving Bond, several transformations have failed, and finally he has to return to the old way.

Of course, Brosnan just thinks about it like this. He will not reject this project at all. The transformation is also after the Mr. and Mrs. Smith, he thought so.

And the salary negotiation between these two is not a problem. Lehman's budget formulation for this piece is still very sufficient. Besides,

Brosnan and Katherine are also cheaper than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Even if Brad Pitt's star road has not been smooth in recent years, he is often polished in the independent film circle, but the external remuneration will not be less than 10 million US dollars. As for Angelina Jolie, the actress from Tomb Raider It began to be riddled with scandals. Actors who have been in constant troubles will never be paid less than 8 million yuan, and they may even ask for a share of the box office.

But Catherine is not only more beautiful, but also has a better temperament. It only needs 4 million US dollars, which is a lot less.

Yes, after so many years, there are not many decent works to come out, and her salary is not high, which is still the foundation accumulated by the previous films.

Brosnan's salary is a little higher. After all, is it really popular? His agent won him 8 million US dollars plus 3% of the North American box office revenue. Box office revenue, but Brosnan refused, so he agreed, after all, people are worth the price. Give more, give more).

The main actor is in place, and the remaining actor Tony is also selected, and Lehman does not pay much attention to this aspect.

After attending the production meeting, Lyman's subsequent days were only occasionally focused on the Mr. and Mrs. Smith project.

Most of the energy is on the idea of ​​a new script, but Tony will report the progress of the work every day and exchange various shooting details with him.

A week later, the cast members of Mrs \u0026 Mrs. Smith have been confirmed, and the first funding of 30 million U.S. dollars has also been quickly put in place. In addition, Paramount is very concerned about this project, and the production cycle will start step by step with almost no delay. It is expected to be in mid-July. Once you're done shooting, it's time for post-production.

...

In mid-April 2005, when Saharan Raiders continued to shrink its theaters, but still did not get a little bit of box office revenue, Daydreamer was screened very well overseas.

It has achieved good results in Germany, the United Kingdom, France and other places. Although the film still failed to break through 200 million in North America and only earned 187.5 million US dollars, with the help of overseas markets, it will not be 200 million. The mark is stuck.

The news came back to North America, and Liam immediately held a celebration dinner.

After that, Ryman went to the digital realm with a new script.

Since he took over, Lehmann has indeed, as he said at the beginning, has not intervened too much in the daily operations of the company.

And this time, I also came with a task, which is an opportunity to take the initiative to take a project and give it to the digital field to participate in the development.

After going, Scott-Roth took Lehmann to visit to understand the latest status of the research and development of various technologies.

Among them, CG rendering has made good progress, and the cost has been further reduced, while the matching shooting system has not made much progress. It still requires the participation of professional studios, which is still very cumbersome.

However, technology research and development is not always accomplished overnight, and Lehmann understands it very well.

If your project only refers to the use of visual effects, it will cost at least more than 12 million. After carefully understanding Lyman's needs, Scott Ross said: The special effects are purely on the shaping of monsters, and there are not many big scenes. , save a little, more than 10 million should be enough.

Well, I'll leave the special effects work to you. Let's implement this project as soon as possible. The next focus of Firefly Pictures is to make this film.

Well, don't worry. Scott is in a good mood. Firefly Pictures' film development direction has indeed added special effects work. This is a natural backer for the digital field, isn't it.
