Legendary Hollywood Director

Befriending China Film is Lehmann's move to the Asian region in the global market.

Although there is actually a relationship between Firefly and China Film, after all, there will definitely be contact between the two parties about the introduction of films, but this relationship is not much different from other Hollywood manufacturers, and what Lehmann wants is equal treatment Additional benefits after.

It's just that this special status is not so easy to get.

Even if China Film's sense of fireflies is not bad, and it has repeatedly cooperated with propaganda and paid for itself, it still needs a real in-depth opportunity to continuously strengthen this impression in order to achieve long-term interest partners above short-term interest allies.

Whether it is the actual interests of Marvel or considering the rising film market in the future, this trip to China is necessary, and Lehmann will also go with the Avatar crew.

Of course, there is no other reason for the latter, just the way.

After all, Colombia has long decided to go to the two regional platforms where the screenings are delayed in China and Japan, but they initially set the route first, but at the suggestion of Lehman, they will fly to China first.

Inside the study.

That is, on the evening of January 2, Lehmann was thinking about some things that China needs to prepare.

He is not worried about the announcement of Avatar. After all, Avatar has surpassed 1 billion US dollars worldwide in 17 days. The audiences in China and Japan have long expected to be full, and there will be no problem with the agency of China Film, so What he prepared was some more detailed material for Pacific Rim.

After all, Pacific Rim is the most sincere prop for his operation. It is also the first special effects blockbuster with over 100 million investment from various parties since China's entry into the WTO. It will also abide by the rules of co-production. big.

Is it in harmony? The exchange of interests and mutual benefit in nature are not as simple as outsiders think. A proposal like Lehmann is neat and without traps, and it is not a literary and artistic theme that focuses on exploring social issues. The combination of the two can be said to be rare There are few, China Film has never encountered such a good thing, so after doubting for a while, they decided to invest, but they still want to know more, which is also the reason why Lehmann has passed.

As for the second point to be prepared, it is the right to use the well-known monsters in the monster universe, that is, the right to use Godzilla and its derivative monsters.

It’s not difficult to say this. As early as more than ten years ago, DC and Warner Bros. briefly rented the image of Godzilla. The copyright owner, Fang Dongbao Pictures, is also willing to actively develop Godzilla’s commercial attributes. After all, they shot it themselves. Movies about Godzilla have been shot over and over again, and the image potential in Japan is almost exhausted.

For example, in 2004, Toho Pictures released the last Godzilla movie of the same name, Godzilla: The Ultimate Battle, with an investment of nearly 1.7 billion yen, and the result was only 1.26 billion yen at the box office. To 1 million people, it is the third-to-last among the works of all dynasties, which completely made Toho Pictures announce to the public and shelve the development of Godzilla.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this series has reached the 28th film, and there is no place to explore at all. If you continue to shoot, you can only continue to lose money.

However, it is just a simple application for image loan, and it will also face Dongbao's reversal in the future - the original time and space, after King of Monsters, Wanda's legendary film industry had to re-negotiate with Dongbao about Godzilla's Image use, is to eat this loss.

Therefore, after a period of consideration, Lehman's response is that in addition to giving Toho Pictures the exclusive license to distribute the project in Japan, he must also strive for them to use the right to use the image to join the investors, rather than introducing funds or expanding their share of the project. bundled.

Because Dongbao doesn't know Lehman's ambitions, it is very likely that he has the same indifferent attitude as his previous life. Moreover, the part of China Film and Profit is that they have this value and future expectations. The Japanese market is very concerned about the firefly, which is mainly based on live-action movies. That said, it's still not very friendly, and there's no need to bet that big.

There is a saying that is very true in the film industry, how much interest determines how much investment,

China Film is the largest and most worthy company of Mann Media in the Asian market. Whether it is policy support or publicity, there is an urgent need. Compared with this, Dongbao Film is far behind. Too much to please is too much. damage to one's own interests—

Although this idea is utilitarian, it is indeed the most appropriate approach.

After thinking about this, Lyman sorted out the information, took out his mobile phone and called Ryan, I will trouble you with the preparation of The Tuner. As for the role, I talked to Ledger this morning about the blind man. He promises to take time off, but you still have to negotiate with his agent about the actor's contract and salary.

I see. Are you flying to China tomorrow?

Um.

Ryan was concerned for a few words, and then hung up the phone.

In this multi-reversal project, the male protagonist is not a flat positive angle in the traditional Hollywood style, which is just right for Heath Ledger's play.

When Lyman decided to make the film, he actually had this idea in mind.

Furthermore, Heath Ledger, who has gained more attention with the role of the clown in The Dark Knight, will naturally have a bonus to the Tune-in project, and if he himself changes his image, playing a role is not so good. The villain who is evil but gets benefits from the sympathy of others is better than staying in the clown mask and getting tired of the audience's eyes.

Yes, he has been embarrassed by being limited by the role recently. This is also what Lehmann discovered when he heard Ryan chatting a while ago. Maybe he has not encountered enough characters and works that have enough room to play. The result of the audience being picky about him is that He acted in several independent films, all of which were criticized by the media and audience for his backwardness.

After all, the audience doesn't care that it is not easy for an actor to meet a good role and play a script that is conducive to his personal performance. It is better to cover up his eye-catching scenes that are talked about by fans, give the audience a new impression and open up the way of play. There's nothing more fitting than The Tuner—

Blind people, reversal, multi-line narrative, combination of virtual and real, the shaping of the protagonist in The Tuner is extremely complex and will not be flattened. It is used to reshape the audience's relationship and use the topic of acting to hype traffic, arousing fans. Curiosity really kills two birds with one stone.

As for the choice of other roles, they are basically all acting. For example, the cheating police chief Lyman planned to let the hunter Josh Brolin in No Country for Old Men play the role, and the innocent heroine considered Kat Dennings. , the second female is to kill her husband, and the beginning of the whole story is Felicity Hoffman, who was nominated for the best actress Oscar for Crossing America.

After picking out these people from the cast list and handing them over to Johnson to inquire about the schedule, Lehman also got on the flight to Beijing...
