Chapter 876: New year

2008 has passed, and the time has come to 2009.

Firefly, Digital Field, Lighting Entertainment, Blue Butterfly Pictures, Marvel Studios, Marvel Entertainment, and the apparel business that is still in the preparation cycle are the foundation of Lehman's media business.

After the enjoyment and passion, the employees re-entered the working state.

Early in the morning, in front of Eva's carefully prepared breakfast, Lehmann picked up the latest issue of the Los Angeles Daily.

Sure enough, the commander who was dubbed "the only" had already begun to announce the "Austrian-style" rescue measures impatiently.

Although there is no very targeted stimulation for the entertainment industry, it has accelerated the identification of black people.

This much-publicized document, the economic revitalization plan with a total budget of about 825 billion US dollars, still looks very exciting. The day after the result was released, the Dow Jones Index plummeted by 4%, reflecting that the crisis is far from that. Deep issues that are easily overshadowed. First release https://https://

After all, on September, 10, 11, and 12 during the tumultuous four months, a total of 1.9 million layoffs in the United States were laid. In 2008, 2.6 million people lost their jobs in the United States, the most since 1945. The unemployment rate soared to 7.2 percent.

Even if so much money is still squeezed out under the fiscal deficit, how to restore employment and guide new jobs is not as simple as imagined.

In addition, another highlight in the newspaper is the implementation of the main political platform of withdrawing troops during the election campaign.

After all, the war on terrorism provoked in Iraq and Afghanistan led by George W. Bush has aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and the voices calling for the withdrawal of troops are getting louder and louder.

Anyway, all the newspapers in the social page are staring at the pace of the new commander, the poor are concerned about relief subsidies, the unemployed are concerned about the return of the labor industry, and the rich are repeatedly studying the tax cuts...

Lyman quickly turned to the entertainment page, and this is the guy he eats.

Only by browsing the information in the industry can he quickly understand some changes in Hollywood or the ethos that will be turned.

For example, several studios could not survive and closed down, so that the "gamblers" who had joined the game with infinite passion were a little calm;

For example, the nominees for the 81st Oscars have not yet been confirmed, and the public relations campaign has already begun. For example, the political film dialogue between Slumdog Millionaire and Ron Howard, which has been leading since December, seems to be reserved for Nixon;

Another example is that Britney has an ambiguous relationship with her agent Jason Trawick, there are pictures and the truth...

Even more explosive is Spielberg, the division of DreamWorks and Paramount, which was acquired by Paramount in 2006 for $1.6 billion and debt.

From then on, the two sides began their honeymoon period.

During this period, Spielberg's production team led a series of successful films for Paramount, including Transformers 1, Rear Window and Blade of Honor.

However, the two sides soon became increasingly at odds over the distribution of profits.

Until recently, Indian reliancebigentertainment entertainment company injected 500 million US dollars into Spielberg's studio through a mediation adjustment, helping Spielberg break away from Paramount and become an independent company again.

Unexpectedly, Paramount's management did not show a strong reaction, but took the initiative to terminate the contract with the original DreamWorks executives and staff, which enabled Spielberg's team to quickly transfer and restructure.

Of course, in addition to the fact that Paramount could not control Spielberg and the stock market crash, the reason for Paramount letting go is that the two sides have also finalized a joint agreement for as many as 40 development projects, that is, the filming rights of popular IPs such as Heartbreaker are still being sent. Ramon's control.

Besides, the farce of the writers' union is over.

No way, the screenwriter's position is so embarrassing.

The directors have made troubles, and the capitalists will compromise, because the big shots don’t know how to shoot;

Actors have had troubles, capitalists have compromised, and the salary space has been extremely high, because the big shots are not bought by fans when they show up;

The producers have made troubles, and the capitalists have compromised, because the Hollywood studio is a producer-centered system, only the screenwriters make troubles every day, and the capitalists ignore it, pointing at the door and laughing, "Get out."

Who makes people who can write scripts and who can write scripts quickly become producers or directors? This is the reality.

After reading the newspaper and eating breakfast, Lyman waved to Eva and slid to the garage to drive to the company.

"Hasbro's commercial authorization, as well as agency account sharing."

When Lehman arrived, Mace had already brought in some documents that he needed to deal with.

When checking the documents, Lehmann found that the surrounding value evaluation of the ninth district is indeed not high. After signing the income documents that totaled less than 5 million, it can also be seen that most of the original projects are embarrassing.

Many fans like the story of District 9 and discuss the in-depth thinking reflected in it, but it does not mean that they will like the rough prawn figures or other derivatives in the wasteland, especially the mainstream group of the film is still more rational consumption of adults. Men, according to Hasbro's research, the sales figures for derivatives in District 9 are mediocre, and there will be no momentum in the future.

It can be said that in the last two months, I can still earn 5 million, but in the next two months, I may not be able to earn 2 million The total sales volume is about 23 million.

Compared with Iron Man’s billion-dollar market, it’s not even a star and a half. This is why Hollywood is more and more chasing adaptations of popular novels and comics compared to original projects. It’s all risky, why not bet more profitable ?

"The word of mouth is good, but the profit margin is really not outstanding. The more artistic depth, the more it deviates from the masses. However, the bonus of the brand image is very large."

Lehman muttered and sighed a few times. After assistant Mace went out, he went over the project preparation progress and went to the production department on the third floor.

"how's it going?"

Walking through the busy office area, Lehman looked at Ryan who was helping Crescent Moon Group, "Is Eva over there in the studio?"

"Yeah. The preparations are going well, the makeup stills have been taken, and the union will send some suitable behind-the-scenes personnel." Ryan said with a smile: "In my opinion, Chris Weitz and his brother Paul have a good relationship with each other. The arrangement of the set is always the one with more experience.”

"When will it start?"

"The 10th of next month is completely ok."

Lehmann nodded and ran to the New Line studio again.

There, Eva is working with Paul Weitz and two dispatchers from Fire Fund Insurance to make arrangements for filming and minimize the risk of accidents.

Lehmann watched for a long time, and Eva was always immersed in her work. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest mobile terminal: https:/

She is getting closer to a producer who can really take responsibility.
