Legendary Hollywood Director

Five hundred and sixtieth eight chapters insatiable greed



Perhaps many seniors gave Lauren Weisberg the confidence to learn from.

For example, in the Lord of the Rings series, in addition to spending a high cost of adaptation, New Line Cinema also promised to give up 7.5% of the film's total revenue;

Another example is the Harry Potter series. Time Warner mobilized the resources of the entire group, used overwhelming money to build momentum, promoted the novel around the world, and then made the book more popular through movies.

Warner paid enough, right?

Should be the benefactor of Joanne Rowling, right?

After all, two years after the novel was published, he was reduced to the point of receiving government subsidies. Obviously, his life was not good.

But what did she do after the novel became popular?

The first three films were adapted from the rights to make movies. After Warner made a lot of money, they first refused to sell the copyrights of the four sequels, and took the opportunity to put forward various strict requirements, because she felt that the cooperation was unfair and needed additional compensation for more benefits.

Warner didn't want to eat dry rice. On the surface, he agreed with no choice but to raise a white-eyed wolf. He also gave her the position of producer and let her participate in the production and become the owner.

The backhand is a heavy punch. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the United States made 612 million US dollars at the box office, but when the account was split, Warners lost 167 million.

The reason is that Warner has deducted up to 212 million US dollars in distribution expenses, and the distribution of this film is controlled by Warner throughout the whole process - don't ask, it is a blatant bullying, even Wall Street dares to cheat, not to mention a novelist . Don't you want money, how do you give it if you lose?

I have to say that Warner's hand is too cruel, which is actually disgusting Rowling.

After all, in order to promote Harry Potter, Warner spent so much money and resources, and as a result you are not satisfied, what else can you do.

Isn't it just a routine, the studio is really not a bad routine.

After all, when Xuanfa made this thing, it was all quotations from own. I said that a beggar costume would cost 300,000 yuan and a straw hat would cost 200,000 yuan. I knew it was a scam, but I couldn't find it out by checking the accounts.

The same is true for publicity, because the channel is in your own hands. I said that if you spend 200 million, it is 200 million. No, it is also true. I said that if you spend 5 million, it is 5 million.

It's ridiculous to think about it. With so many role models ahead, Lauren estimates that he is not satisfied with the adaptation fee, so he wants to eat a piece of meat from the production. As everyone knows, the film industry is so easy?

Moreover, The Devil Wears Prada is not as famous as these series of novels, why do you speak so loudly?

Of course, in the eyes of Westerners, everything is based on interests, and there is nothing wrong with this kind of negotiation.

Do you want it, I want it, everyone wants it, but what Lehmann recognizes most is to take as much money as you do.

He can distribute the profits to Top, Nolan, Wen Ziren, including Zach Snyder, because people can do things and have that ability, and they will never include a pure layman like Lauren.

Furthermore, the copyright fee is also not less, which is basically the market price.

The corner of Lehman's mouth twitched and smiled, It doesn't matter, just negotiate the conditions ahead of time to avoid trouble.

Lauren thought it was easy,

It is taken for granted that without this novel, how would the project be made?

So then strive for better conditions.

I wish the 5-year period was changed to 2 years...

Well, the future revenue of the film will increase from 10% to 20%...

Also, when the film is shot, can I participate in the whole process? I don't want people to modify my work at will.

Ryman continued to nod, appearing to speak well.

Prada has a part of my own portrayal. I hope that the heroine is not only beautiful, but also has beautiful blonde hair.

Lyman cast a glance, oh, you are also dyed blond hair - the reason why you don't like Natalie has been found, is she Jewish, where does the blond hair come from.

Ugh, is this racist?

Director Lehman, you are really considerate, so... can that allow my boyfriend to also have a face-to-face role? It's better that we play couples in the play.

As soon as this request came out, even Nordley, the agent next to him, felt that it was too much and kept his eyes down.

But Ryman still smiled, Yes, a very reasonable request. But...

After the conversation changed, he frowned and said, Otherwise, you can be the producer of the project, so that the conditions you put forward are the normal work of the producer, and you can also help control the specific shooting.

Really? Lauren was a little surprised.

Of course you can, but I initially estimate that this project will cost at least 30 million to complete. As a producer, you have a certain investment share. In addition to the author's interests, do you want to invest?

this……

Lauren couldn't make up her mind, because she had never invested in a movie and subconsciously didn't want to pay.

Don't you want to be the producer of your own works and shoot your favorite works yourself? I don't think anyone knows this novel better than you.

A very simple trick.

Lauren doesn't know anything about film and television production, it's just a pure investment, but she must be very vain - how could a person who doesn't care about fame and fortune deliberately use the fashion circle as a creative content to insinuate his boss?

Think about it and know that she cares a lot.

Sure enough, after some inner struggle, perhaps the big director in front of him seemed to be very talkative, Lauren Weisberger discussed with the agent a few more words, and then said again: How much do I need to invest?

3 million, accounting for half of the box office profits. The salary is included. Lehman thought for a while, and also gave the answer.

Phew... I voted. Then, can the specific positions and conditions be written into the contract?

Of course, this is a necessary process, and it is more sincere to speak in black and white.

Lauren had no more doubts, and she didn't feel that her conditions were excessive.

Excessive?

The ass decides the head.

......

The signing of the contract was very smooth, Lehmann almost met all the requirements of the other party, of course there will be no further differences.

When Lyman took Johnson out of the law firm, his smile that always hung on his face subsided and seemed unusually calm.

Hmph, insatiable greed.

Just because it was Lehman who was in charge, Johnson had not commented, but obviously, he was a little annoyed.

In this world, people who give charcoal in the snow may not necessarily make people grateful.

From Lauren, Lyman saw the pride of the British literary world, the shadow of Rowling.

Ha, the most popular book series in the world.

How much has been invested behind this? How much will you get?

Lehman now knows why Warner is so ruthless. Logically speaking, Warner doesn't really like bullying people, but in a rogue way.

But a top studio in the industry has its own pride, and if it is really shameful, it really plays with people.
