Chapter 386: Fix it

The countdown to the filming of Daydreamer has begun.

The actors also left the crew one after another.

Hilary Swank was the first to leave.

Her scenes were concentrated in the small town and at the end, and she had no scenes to shoot on location. On July 20, she completed her shooting task.

Looking back on this entry, Hilary Swank feels very fulfilled.

Learned a lot again.

It also made her understand, "Comedy is not deliberately performed, but cleverly designed lines and bridges combined with body movements, which are harmonious in contrast."

She had never been exposed to this type of film before, but now she has a little experience.

And she can also get advice from the top movie stars in the comedy world, and the director also mentioned her next to her...

This made Hillary a little flattered.

Filming with Lehmann was a lot of fun. she thought so.

......

On August 7, "Hellboy" was completely painted in North America.

After 5 weeks of screening, the local accumulated more than 53 million. The first two weeks were more profitable than the next three weeks combined.

Speaking of box office, it's not very eye-catching, but it also caused a little wave in the circle.

Hollywood, Paramount headquarters.

Shirley Lansing took the market financial report compiled by the assistant and flipped it slowly.

Since the rise of the film industry, the United States has still dominated the domestic market, far from the time when later generations focused on developing the overseas market (the Chinese market).

After all, due to issues of distribution channels, regions and local policies, the proportion of overseas box office profits is far less than that of domestic ones. To build a good relationship with overseas cinema chains, or even plunder the film market in other regions, it is bound to pay something.

It can be said that back to the United States, the competitive pressure is also the greatest for these film companies.

Since the new millennium, there have been countless film companies that have erected signs to grab the market every year. Over the course of the year, thousands of films have been fighting there, and how many have profited.

When DreamWorks was first established, it has made nearly 2 billion in domestic production with more than a dozen high-quality films, and instantly became the top brand of second-tier production companies, and you can reach the top of Hollywood.

Animation, music, film and television production, TV stations, distribution channels...

It is not an exaggeration to say that one is in the middle of the day.

But now...

Looking through the financial report, Shirley Lansing saw the name she didn't want to see again - Firefly Pictures.

In total, only three films were produced independently in Hollywood, and one was a small hit and two were popular. Among them, "Chainsaw" has also developed into a series of films with considerable potential. How can such a result not be surprising.

Shirley Lansing thought, is it another DreamWorks on the rise?

There are explosive products every year, and the release will make money?

It seems that Lehmann was born into the film industry. How long has it been since he became a director?

Less than three years.

It doesn't matter if the movie you shoot can make money, do you have the talent to direct?

But starting a film company is not a one-man job, and you have such a good eye for people.

Forget the top, it has some small talents and has proved himself, but... Where did Wen Ziren come from?

When it comes to the return on investment ratio and profit margin, only the strong DreamWorks can compare.

As the CEO of Paramount, Shirley Lansing originally wanted to improve her hematopoietic ability and suppress Lyman's ambition by acquiring DreamWorks.

But now it seems that people are getting more and more wings, and Spielberg's resistance is also fierce on his own side. Needless to say, he is depressed in his heart, but he has to continue to maintain this very delicate cooperative relationship with Firefly Pictures.

As a successful businessman, even if you are unhappy with certain things in your heart, you still focus on your business interests.

At present, Firefly Pictures can bring a lot of profits to its partners, and it can also allow her Paramount Pictures to compete with other film companies for a period of time.

Therefore, not only can we not fight and suppress, but we must continue to deepen cooperation.

This is like the Firefly Pictures in Lehman's hands is a production factory, while Paramount has both sales channels and its own production factory, but the problem is that the products it produces are far from occupying all the market share.

Everyone is competing.

And Firefly Pictures is a production company with fairly good potential.

When the scale of the product is still small, it is optional. It depends on the seller's face, begging others to sell their own products; and when Lehman's factory can produce substantial products, it can achieve considerable After the production benefit.

The channel dealers in the market have to lower their profile.

The current situation is like this, whoever attracts Firefly Pictures is a good deal.

Who doesn't care.

But if the production company wants to upgrade to channel sales, the situation is different.

......

Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Here, bridges are crisscrossed, and rivers and canals are crisscrossed.

The intoxicating tulips are the calling card of the city.

Close to the streets of the city.

Lehmann was constantly gesturing and dancing, before the translator gave a speech to several local Dutch groups according to his intention.

This is the final scene of the make-up and the city where Walter Mitty sets out to find photographer Shaun.

Speaking of which, Iceland is the location with the most scenes, but like Australia's national parks and Amsterdam, the scenes in the middle of a trip with only one or two shots are also shot on the spot.

"Okay, get ready."

"Daydreamer, Scene 52, First Shot."

Lyman stared at the footage from the director's monitor.

On a leisurely street, Jim Carrey, carrying a backpack and a map, stopped and went to find it.

Passing a fork in the road, I politely asked a few pedestrians for directions...

The movie isn't too concentrated, but it's not too complicated either.

Occasionally, while filming and traveling abroad, the days are quite pleasant, except that the journey is a little hard.

And there are not many scenes to be filmed in Amsterdam, but with a group of people coming to the filming location, it took two and a half days to complete.

Because of fear of unexpected delays, I also set aside a day for shooting. And don't worry about missing your flight.

Done now.

In addition to the joy of finishing, Lehman let the crew of the film crew take a collective holiday.

I had a good day in Amsterdam That night, another killing feast was held. Everyone gathered together to release the dual exhaustion of body and spirit, and the way to release was to drink——

"Director Lyman."

Jim Carrey, the film's leading actor, raised his glass and touched Lyman.

He is very relaxed now, and a little empty.

However, this emotion did not affect him too much.

"I hope there is still a chance to cooperate." Jim Carrey raised his glass again.

"There is a chance." Lyman laughed.

"Bang." A crisp collision sounded.

The two had another drink.
