Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter eight hundred and forty seventh back garden

Lyman scrutinized Joseph Russell as he walked in.

With small eyes and a big face, he was not tall among white people, and he was looking at himself with a smile on his face.

Lyman came to see after hearing that Kevin said that the director candidate was about to come out, but he didn't want to be an acquaintance. Later generations have cooperated with Marvel the most times, and the one who has the closest relationship is this fellow.

In Kevin's inner evaluation, this person is obedient and capable, and not greedy.

Many directors see the high box office sales of Marvel works, and it is easy to take the opportunity to open their mouths and ask for high accounts. Therefore, the co-directors of the Marvel series change very frequently, because Marvel executives are well aware that the biggest guarantee of the box office is this IP. , not the person performing the IP monetization.

The tools are too expensive, so find a cheap and suitable one.

Joseph Russell? Kevin Feige called out, Sit first, let's sit and talk.

Joseph Russell's heart jumped when he saw Lyman, and then heard that Kevin Feige didn't even speak politely, as if he was going to get to the point, and sat down stupidly. Hold on... Does he want to give a couple of sentences first to get some impression points?

Come to think of it, he himself still likes the films directed by Lehmann very much, so he should say something.

But when the mind is one step slower and the body one step faster, it will give up.

The combination of this guy and his brother Anthony is actually very sensitive, and there are not so many filmmakers who are reserved. For example, no other voices are allowed during the shooting, plus the ability to grasp the market trend, it is a relatively shrewd movie. people.

If you just talk about his resume, he is not the most prominent among the US team's candidate directors. He has made three movies, but he has not made a name for himself. He belongs to the kind that has neither box office nor word of mouth.

Later, I switched to TV dramas, but I did well, at least it won't make investors lose money, and I was nominated for an Emmy Award for comedy.

Of course, Lehman and Kevin didn't care about that. Their selection criteria never said that they should have excellent works by their side. It's enough to have shooting experience and talk about it. It mainly depends on whether their temperament is suitable or not.

Unsurprisingly, Joseph Russell's views on Team America are not very sharp, what is best to shoot this way, and what the audience likes is never something he likes to publish.

The more we chatted, the more satisfied Kevin became. He was not satisfied with his technique, but his attitude. It showed the temperament of a tool man on the set, making him feel that it was not easy to quarrel when working together, and it was a waste of energy.

Director Russell, please wait for the notice. If there is anything else, we will contact your agent.

After listening, Joseph also felt that he could handle it well, and he was powerless to do the rest, and the decision was not in his hands.

After he left, Lyman asked, How is it?

Look at the latter. If there is no more suitable, then let him be.

Just as Lehman was about to nod his head, he said that the project preparation can be accelerated, when assistant Mace knocked on the door and walked in, Boss, Director Perlman is back.

Really? Kevin, then I'll go first. Lyman hurriedly left.

......

Perlman came back a few years ago, and even made a phone call every once in a while to report on the laying of overseas sites, but Lehman was still eager to meet him.

Because she is a talent.

Thinking about it carefully, the company has thrown in more than 200 million for this matter, and it has to continue to throw it. So far, he has not seen any throwing in return, but he never worries about anything.

in the office.

When Lyman came in, Perlman had already arrived.

Boss. Perlman stood up to greet him.

You've lost weight. Lyman smiled and replied, Sit down.

Perlman thanked his seat and sat comfortably on the sofa, feeling relieved for a while.

Although he likes to go on business trips and conduct field research work, but he has traveled so far and is in a foreign land. After a long time, he is not so comfortable. He just carried a strong spirit and worked hard for his career, so he didn't feel too tired.

Coffee. Lyman called to the outer room, and assistant Mace quickly served it, and then withdrew.

After Perlman took a few sips, Lyman asked, How's the situation on your side?

The 20 million approved last month is about to be spent again. Perlman put down the cup, Is the company's circulating funds still sufficient?

You can rest assured that the company's financial situation is very healthy, and Marvel Entertainment is also operating well. The net income of the comics department last month was 13 million. The effect of the sinking of the entire channel and the gradual development of the distribution system have driven Multi-faceted income output, and now the company's capital chain is extremely stable.

Perlman listened happily, and was completely confident in the decision to start overseas deployment a year and a half ahead of schedule - at least it did not slow down the company's development process.

How much is arranged now?

Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China, as well as 43 regions such as Russia, India, and Italy, have our people.

Perlman proudly took out a stack of lists from his briefcase.

I saw the distribution of sites and employees in various places, as well as the contacts of academies and distribution forces in various places. At a glance, you can roughly understand the prototype of the overseas network developed by Perlman and his team.

However, when it really comes in handy, the upstream and downstream capital businessmen have to taste the benefits of cooperating with Mann Media, otherwise they will not spend resources to help promote it.

It seems that movies imported from other regions have always been recognized by the American market, which has made many overseas audiences think that the proportion of bad Hollywood movies is small, but how is that possible?

In the film market all over the world, there are more bad films than good films. The reason for this illusion is that the failed films will not be imported at all. If you don't import it, of course there will be no bad movies to watch.

You know, since Spielberg's Jaws made a high profit at a small cost, Hollywood has produced no less than a thousand works of marine giants in the past ten or twenty years, and several of them can be seen by overseas audiences. of?

Otherwise, Hollywood would not close down so many production companies every year, and the audience would not buy it.

As Lehman watched, Perlman explained, I still use the online and offline method, first set up a company, and then recruit local employees with experience in publishing, and I'm not in a hurry to use our company's name.

Well, it's the right thing to do, Lyman agreed.

What he wants is a reliable, stable, efficient, and temporarily hidden distribution network, and he certainly can't play the name of Mann Media. When everything is ready and he really wants to start overseas business, it will be an instant to change the door. thing.

You are cautious, but how long will it take to get through to other areas? Lehmann asked again.

It will take at least seven or eight months. The rest of the film market is more complicated, such as South America and some small European countries. In terms of funding, it still needs 40 to 50 million yuan.

What's wrong with South America?

I went to inquire and found that there are almost no local forces there. They are all entertainment markets such as theater chains and audio-visual products built by channel companies such as the Big Five and Sony Records. If you want to avoid making a fool of yourself, you need to be more careful.

Lehman was quite surprised, but thinking about it, it seems that the back gardens of American capital are all too close to the United States, and it is not incomprehensible, You just need to have your own discretion, the company will provide you with financial security, and the rest will trouble you. already.

Don't worry, boss, by the middle of next year, I will definitely build our own overseas distribution network. Perlman couldn't help expressing his stance.

I believe in you. You still need to be more responsible for this part in the future. Lehmann followed suit.
