Chapter 338

This time the Cannes Film Festival was a success, not only can I upgrade my resume, but more importantly, the follow-up operation of the film has been smoother. Maybe the disappointed people, except for Hillary, have gained a lot.

Los Angeles, Warner Bros.

Barry Mayer was very happy to receive the news.

There is quite a feeling that a promising talent has not let him down.

Then they notified the propaganda department and asked them to take advantage of the heat to make a little fire.

Coincidentally, Cannes closed and many press releases were sent back to the United States.

So, when the people got up the next day, the news about Cannes was overwhelming.

"Million Dollar Baby" at the 57th Cannes International Film Festival won three heavyweight trophies: Palme d'Or, Best Director and Best Actor." - "New York Daily".

"Director Lehmann's new film has won the top prize at Cannes. It has been well received and recommended by many film critics." - "Los Angeles Daily".

"Out of six out of three, 'Million Dollar Baby' is the biggest winner at the Cannes Film Festival." - "The San Francisco Report".

...

All of a sudden, there was a huge uproar.

Affected by this, many movie fans became very interested in movies that have not yet been released but have won awards.

I really want to know what kind of charm this rumored and well-received masterpiece has.

Lionsgate is bitter.

The "Fahrenheit 911" they operated won a screenplay award, and there was no attention at all.

If it weren't for the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in publicity expenses, the major newspapers would not even give it a page, but even so, the related news was suppressed by the popularity of "Million Dollar Baby", and nothing was raised. movement.

At a glance, it's all about Lehman, the new work, "Million Dollar Baby", Palme d'Or... all of them are core elements, news points, and none of them pay attention to "Fahrenheit 911".

The only thing that makes Lionsgate relieved is that "Million Dollar Baby" is not going to be released directly due to the popularity, but issued a notice that it will be released in December.

This instruction is very easy to understand, and Warners seems to be determined to compete for the Oscar.

But "Fahrenheit 911" is different. Although Lionsgate also wants to compete for the Oscars, they still consider the market first than the honor.

They just waited for the popularity of "Million Dollar Baby" to pass, hyped it up, and pushed it directly into theaters.

Fans are a little upset, and they were looking forward to it just now, but it turned out to be released in December.

Of course, there is no way.

For Warner, if such a masterpiece that can win awards cannot be maximized, it will be given for nothing.

If it can shine at the Oscars, with this momentum, the operation of copyright does not know how much higher than the pure box office.

Everyone has their own abacus.

On May 29, after Lehmann figured out the trivia, he set off for the United States.

After getting off the plane, let Johnson send Hilary Swank home first, and then return to his villa mansion.

Only the housekeeper was watching, and Eva didn't come back from filming.

Lehmann put his luggage away and put the two specially checked trophies in the display cabinet.

Take a shower and rest in bed.

The journey was hard work, and soon fell asleep.

After resting at home for a day and adjusting his body, on May 31, Lehmann went to the company again.

Joseph's management is really good.

At least, stronger than when he was there.

The staff departments are divided in turn, and the system of promotion and punishment has also established a standard.

In addition, the recruiters have not stopped in the past few weeks, and it was only after Lehman entered the company that he found out that Firefly Pictures had grown from more than 80 employees to more than 110 employees.

At least the production department has met the scale of opening three plays at the same time.

As the number of employees increases, the office space must also be expanded.

Lyman listened to Joseph's suggestion, rented the two office rooms upstairs, and then simply renovated them. It is estimated that they will be available for use in a week.

Joseph's ability is really excellent, coupled with his experience in Colombia, he has no shortage of vision and methods of managing the company.

Of course, when it comes to the ability of film and television production, he can only be regarded as average, because he has rarely been in contact with similar businesses for so many years, but he still has some experience in publicity and market research.

However, Ryman is the one in charge of the production business, and Joseph can manage the day-to-day operations of the company, which is very satisfying.

He made up his mind to give Joseph an extra bonus at the end of the year, which was also an incentive.

Then, the expansion of the production department also requires a deputy to coordinate his ideas.

As far as ability and intimacy are concerned, Lyman wanted Thomas to be the one.

But Thomas was reluctant and didn't want to bother about it.

People have no ideas, and Lehman is not tough.

First let Blake - Cole serve as vice president of production to assist him in his work.

Blake Cole is an old man of the original company. He has been Ryan's deputy before, but the production department is the company's ace department. Although the rank has not been raised, the status has been raised a little, and he is naturally happy.

After dealing with the chores, Lyman began writing the script for "Daydream."

Since they met Jim Carrey by chance, the two have sincere cooperation, and naturally they can't let go of such a work that they also liked in their previous lives.

Also in the past few days, "The Day After Tomorrow" operated by 20th Century Fox was officially released.

He also found time to go to the premiere at the Chief Stone Theatre.

In fact, this movie has no story at all, but the special effects are very good.

Whether it is a flood eruption or a small glacier, it gives a strong visual effect.

Film critics naturally don't like this kind of popcorn works much, and they mostly ridicule and criticize them.

But the audience was very satisfied and the ticket price was worth it, but the market responded enthusiastically.

On the first day, excluding the midnight show, it won a box office of more than 23 million.

As for Eva, she still couldn't rest.

It is also the actor's duty to get paid to run the promotion.

In addition to meeting the two of them at the premiere, Eva followed the crew to roadshows everywhere.

As for Lyman, after writing the outline of the script and letting Ryan add the lines and background of the story, he sent a copy to Jim Carrey to let him figure out the role.

Waiting to finish the scene of the movie~www.mtlnovel.com~Johnson is here.

There is also a message.

Said it was Barry Mayer who asked him to meet.

Lehman was a little puzzled. The filming of the film was finished, and everyone knew the process of operation.

What does it mean that he is a busy man now inviting to meet?

Ask Johnson, and Johnson doesn't know either.

He is only responsible for speaking.

You must know that Warner's summer is not easy.

The failure of "Troy" has already caused a lot of losses to Warner.

With such thoughts in mind, Lehman also agreed to meet.

Anyway, he still intends to continue to hold the thigh of Warner Bros.
