The screen of "Museum" was hot, and it successfully won the weekly championship in the first weekend. The total box office in North America was 73.25 million, which allowed the media to report more material.

Although film critics are still disdainful, it has become a fact that the film has sold well.

Among them, the main creator of the crew also made a lot of profit. For Johnson, that is another comedy actor who can get a salary of 20 million yuan.  …

Afterwards, Ben Stiller came over and said a few words of thanks to Lehman - it was nothing, except to get closer, the main meaning might be to find him if there is a suitable project in the future, and he hoped very much. Working with Firefly...

Similar things, Lehmann has been taken aback.

For actors, good projects are what they are after.

But then again, the advantage of having foresight is that it is impossible to step on the yellow line to avoid risks.

Firefly Pictures headquarters.

On the approaching days of the new year, Lyman went to meet a TV director.

After all, "Stranger Things" is almost ready, and only one character is left to control the shooting.

And this project is the main push drama of HBO's spring file next year, and there is not much time reserved.

When the man arrived in the reception room, Lehman greeted politely, "Director Zinberg, hello."

This is one of several candidates recommended by several brokerage companies, and was eventually picked by Lehman.

The reason is very simple, obedient, experienced, and know how to do things.

Because the script creation of "Stranger Things" has been finalized, and the actors and behind-the-scenes personnel are already in place, it is unlikely that there will be room for the director to exercise his power. Some famous and qualified directors are probably will not receive similar treatment.

However, Michael Zinberg is different. In other words, as long as the treatment is satisfactory, people will most likely accept it.

This guy has directed the first and second seasons of "Lost" and some scenes in the second and third seasons of "Secret Army". He has always been a diversity director who is used as a tool, and rarely controls the creation of a TV series from beginning to end.

In other words, this guy is used to being a salary officer, he is not picky, and he doesn't have so many other thoughts, such as he must get the right to speak to the whole crew and make a shooting plan, and he must shoot according to his ideas and so on.

In addition, he likes the idea of ​​taking care of the sponsor, never changes the script randomly, and has rich experience in shooting. Speaking of which, he has been in this industry for 12 years. He has a wide range of subjects and a variety of styles. It is also a feature of him.

For him, dramas with a bit of sci-fi and retro style like "Stranger Things" are not too difficult to shoot.

However, due to the schedule, it was not until the end of the year to make time.

When the two met for the first time, there wasn't much to talk about. After all, Zinberg didn't know exactly how far the entire crew went, and we'd have to wait for others to see it.

When the other party left, Lyman packed up and rushed to Rust Manor in Beverly Hills.

Tonight, there will be a New Year's Eve reception here.

Mainly for corporate management positions.

Second floor of the main house.

Eva was still picking out a dress, and when she saw Lehmann come in, she picked up a slanted dress and asked, "Help me see which dress is suitable for tonight?"

"The wine red one on the left is good."

"Will it be too bright?"

"I think it's just right."

After chatting a few words, Eva still chose the burgundy one-shoulder style she liked very much.

After six o'clock, the manor began to be lively.

The main reason is that the company's performance this year is very good, and there must be a big red envelope waiting for them, which is also a tradition over the years.

Compared with the open party, the scale of this reception is very small, and it can even be said that it is full of the backbone members of Firefly.

Joseph, Liam, Perlman, Ryan, Garcia and more.

Moreover, this year's performance is likely to promote next year's performance, and everyone is more motivated.

......

Soon, Lehmann was back at his job.

On January 1, 2007, Lehmann took the lead and spent about 20 million US dollars from the account and issued a bonus according to the level of the position.

This way of raising morale and gathering people's hearts is quite worthwhile.

On the other hand, "The Dark Knight" has entered the shooting stage, and the editing work of "Her" is over...

On the theater line, "300" is still encouraging and supporting, "Museum" is still gaining momentum, and "Untouchable" is reaping the box office in France and even the European market.

In contrast, the audience in the United States does not like "Untouchable". Although the reputation is good, the actors and creators are not attractive and topical, and they tell a very French story, and even the jokes in it are not too good. It is easy to understand that the threshold for watching movies is relatively high, and it is normal to be unpopular.

On the other hand, Liam took a fancy to the market potential of this theme, and suggested to make a US version, rethink the script, and invite local actors to promote it. It is estimated that there is some profit.

This matter, Lehman agreed, but it will take some time to arrange the project.

After watching the rough cut of "Juno" in the editing room, Lehman, who returned to the office, was still thinking about when to arrange a schedule for the film. When Mace saw Lehman's figure, he quickly said respectfully: "Boss, Michael Zimberg said yes."

Lyman nodded to show understanding, and then came to Joseph.

He is responsible for the new drama project.

"What did Michael say?"

"He stayed on the set for a long time yesterday. When he left, he was very happy. I think he was very satisfied. Besides, his agent has put forward the conditions for directing."

"What did you mention?" Lyman asked again.

"The director's salary is not less than 800,000 yuan per episode, and the producer should have a name, and the candidate for the assistant director should be recommended by him."

Joseph skipped some of the more conventional on-set treatment, and roughly said the three things that the other party cared about the most.

The former is about banknotes, the middle is about voice and status, and the latter is about arranging direct lineage, or in other words, he is gifted with affection.

"He wants 800,000 per episode? I remember he doesn't seem to be worth that much. When filming "Lost", it was only 800,000 after the middle two episodes." Lyman shook his brows. Of course he wasn't completely clueless about him.

"Negotiating, always pay more." In response, Joseph thought: "I think as long as the price is raised to 450,000 per episode at most, his agent should reach the psychological price if he wants to come."

"Then give him 450,000 episodes and promise everything else." Lehmann then emphasized, "Let him cut at least the first two episodes for the pilot before March, and, if the project is well completed, continue It can also be handed over to him, but this is only an intention, whether it can be achieved or not depends on his performance.”

"Don't worry, I will point it out."

After finishing this matter, while Joseph left, Lyman left the company and turned to Coppola Manor.

Since the last time "Her" was finished, Lyman had a little chat with Francis Coppola about Oscar, and he didn't care for a long time.

Of course, the Oscars are just the icing on the cake and a platform to enhance the company's brand image.

It's the best you can get, and it's nothing if you can't.

It's just that the treatment is too different, which makes Lehman a little uncomfortable.

If Dignity is directly compared to the previous one, and it is indeed inferior to others, who is not convinced? But what does that count?

Laiman is not so arrogant that the quality of the projects produced by his own company is the first, but he is blatantly crowded out, and he accompanies him several times.

In other words, you don't have to, but don't be deliberately disgusting.

Always nominate and nominate, and at the end, empty hands and give a consolation award.

On the way, Lyman also sighed inwardly.

A well-selected event that should be recognized by the public has become a public relations competition for family connections. This is really...you have to follow the rules of others.

When they arrived at the Coppola Manor, Sofia went out to greet them.

After meeting, we chatted about "her" with great interest.

This movie, Sophia is really satisfied, there are so many things to say, especially some of the process of shooting.

Like Scarlett's voice.

Lehmann wanted to say in his heart that, because of this, they won the Roman actress without showing up, which shows how popular they are.

I have to say that Scarlett's magnetic voice injection is a big plus of the film.

While chatting and walking, Francis Coppola is already ready...
