Legendary Hollywood Director

When Blake heard this, the plan for this project became clearer in his mind.

According to Lehman, coupled with the structure problems of the script itself, it is estimated that the cost of the entire filming of a single episode will not exceed 450,000, which is a low-cost episode.

Moreover, although many luxury sponsorships are not used, it is still possible to find suitable brands.

Blake thought of the RV that appeared in the script, and said casually: For that du-built vehicle, you can ask Ford to discuss the implantation plan, and it should be able to pull one or two million. Plus other piecemeal sponsorships, take back one. The small half of the investment should be feasible.”

Well, if it's appropriate, I'm not against giving some convenience, and close-up shots can also be given. You're in charge of these.

Anyway, it’s a very small thing to waste a few seconds of footage for commercials, Lyman affirmed.

Afterwards, Blake went to prepare the Breaking Bad pull sponsorship operation and build a cooperative filming team.

In that case, the only thing that is still bad is a director with good ability to perform the shooting work. In this regard, it is necessary to carefully screen.

After all, several of Firefly's co-directors are either working on projects, or their personal style is too strong to be suitable for slightly realistic themes, and they need to be found from outside.

But it's not too much trouble. Hollywood doesn't have a shortage of directors, and there is enough room for selection.

Putting this matter down, Layman gathered up the work he was doing a little bit, gave a simple suggestion on how to deal with it, and then stood up and walked out.

In the editing room, the final version of No Country for Old Men has been determined. The main film is about 105 minutes long, which is slightly more compact than the original film of the same name. On the side, Ryan and Thomas teased that they were physically and mentally exhausted and were going on vacation.

Lehman also found it funny. As soon as these two goods got together, they felt that they had added a funny buff, and they didn't have the usual serious attitude at all.

Thinking back on the content of this edition just now, the overall feeling is very good, and Lehman himself is quite satisfied.

It's good to shoot that lawless temperament style.

As for the box office, who knows.

Anyway, it will never be more popular than commercial movies, because this movie needs patience to watch, it is not so refreshing, and of course it will not be a money-sucking weapon at the box office.

However, Lehmann didn't go to the market at first, he just wanted to make such a movie.

Out of the company, drive home.

On the way, I could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This year, Firefly has plans for 6 movie projects and 1 TV series, which is nearly half the output of major studios. A long way to go.

I am also fortunate that I have made friends with so many talented directors. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for him to have such energy and time to produce.

Think about it, if it weren't for the company's popularity, so many scripts and producers would not be willing to cooperate - it is difficult for small studios to even buy copyright, because you are not famous, and who is willing to put their own projects to you? Without distribution, without strong production capabilities, everything is illusory.

In the evening, Lyman returned to the mansion in Beverly Hills.

From a distance, I saw a strange figure in my living room chatting with Eva.

Laiman was puzzled. After approaching, the man turned around when he heard the movement, but it was a tough-looking woman in her thirties.

She was dressed in a very masculine style, with a jeans jacket and short hair, no wonder Ryman didn't notice it for a while.

She stood up and greeted, Director Lyman, do you remember the last time we met?

Oh it's you......

Lyman recognized the person, it was Francis Coppola's daughter Sofia Coppola.

After some courtesies, we were seated again.

Sophia carefully looked at the famous director in front of her with some curiosity.

She had heard a lot about him from her cousin Cage and from her father.

The first is what he said when he invited Cage when he was filming Fury, that he couldn't stop touching similar themes because of a failure of a war theme, because he denied himself. Later, Fury was a big hit, and Cage recovered his career decline.

The second one was when filming Bad Guy. At that time, Lehmann was already a cutting-edge director who won the Best Foreign Language Golden Man and also made some achievements, but he was not too outstanding in Hollywood. Later, Bad Guy swept more than 400 million worldwide, saving the most outstanding business qualifications.

The third one was making Million Dollar Baby. At that time, Lehmann had become the hottest director in Hollywood by virtue of his many successes, and he also became the owner of a film and television company, but he was still willing to make some meaningful movies. Later, after the film won the Palme d'Or, it was nominated for the Oscar for best director, but the best picture failed one after another. I heard from my father that it was because the organizing committee deliberately left out. At least, one will also be compensated. But he didn't get it.

Now that I see Lehman again, Sophia only feels that he is more imposing than the last time he met at home.

Maybe she no longer plays the role of junior. She feels that it is very different from the last time she met. This kind of temperament is unclear. Maybe this is the temperament of the so-called successful people. Sophia thought. It's a little hard to put words into your mouth.

And according to the tacit agreement between Lehman and Francis, he actually liked Sophia very well—a woman who is good-looking, has a personality, and a seductive eye can always get more attention from men, although Lehman considers her as a junior in his heart. of.

After talking and laughing for a while, the relationship gradually became harmonious.

After all, the two of them are quite familiar with each other. Whether it is Cage or Francis Coppola, they are considered to be very friendly, and they are not embarrassing.

Leading her to chat, I turned left and right, but I didn't find out what was going on - there must be something to visit at such a time.

Eva on the side saw this, and while the coffee was being served, she leaned into Lyman's ear and muttered, She's here to make a movie. You've been there for more than an hour before you came back.

Sophia knew that Eva was helping her, and was really grateful.

For some reason, I was full of confidence before I came, and I really met someone, but I didn't know what to say.

Lyman's heart was not fluctuated after hearing this.

What he agreed with Francis Coppola was to help Coppola's younger generation to develop a situation in the film and television industry to a certain extent, and the key person was to help Sofia.

And Sophia is the director - originally wanted to go the way of an actor, but a Golden Raspberry Award broke the girl's heart and had a shadow on the performance. After all, in those days, I was miserable, and I was scolded by the newspapers all the time.

Since it is a film project, Lehman said seriously: Is there some arrangements for the script, shooting budget and production plan?

Sophia nodded and took out the prepared script from the satchel beside her.

In other words, there is a big director who is his own father, and he helps him wholeheartedly. Sophia's road to directing is still very smooth.

In 1999, the debut film Angel with Broken Wings won the Hollywood Young Director Award, which is similar to the Actor Rookie Award.

In 2003, the second Lost in Translation was nominated for Best Director, Best Picture and many other awards, and also won Best Original Screenplay, making her the first American female director nominated for Best Director. The scenery is infinite.

It stands to reason that a famous female director like her has no shortage of investment. Whether it is the influence of the Coppola family or her personal success, there will be people rushing to send money to make movies.

In fact, it does.

After she got the script, several studios made it clear that they could shoot, distribute, and provide one-stop services.

But isn't that her father, Francis, who is very optimistic about the future development of Firefly, and especially appreciates Lehman's film concept. After meeting and talking, he wants to owe his daughter's project to a personal relationship - there are back and forth , entanglement of interests, only in line with the change from verbal agreement to actual cooperation between the two parties.

So, Sophia, who had just smoothed out the script, ran to Beverly Hills under her father's compulsion.

Therefore, Sophia, who detonated the movie market with Lost in Translation, really has no shortage of people to send money, but there is a lack of such a person who can escort the family's interests for a long time.

And this candidate was initially identified as Lehmann.
