”Mr. Luc Besson.”

After the group returned to France, Lehmann came to the Europa Studios building again and met with Luc Besson.

”Lyman, please sit down first.” Luc Besson greeted him kindly, and let the assistant make two cups of coffee in.

”How's this trip to India? The movie feels good, right?” Luc Besson asked.

”Successful shooting is just the beginning, and then there will be tedious post editing.” Lyman said with a smile.

After chatting with each other for a while, Lyman began to talk business.

”Mr. Luc Besson, now the film is about to enter post-production, shouldn't it be properly promoted?”

The hasty publicity of the upper movie has already exposed many drawbacks. Naturally, this movie needs to be grasped.

”Well... it is possible to carry out a small-scale promotion and warm up in advance.” Luc Besson first affirmed Lehmann's proposal, and then asked: ”How much time do you need for the post-production of this film?”

”It will take more than a month at least, and the specific time depends on the production efficiency.” Lehman hesitated and gave a slightly vague time.

”If it's more than a month, we will preliminarily select a schedule for next year's February release. Of course, we will discuss the specific plan again in detail.” Luc Besson said in a deep thought.

”Well, I'm up to you for the work in this area. I will go to post-production soon. If necessary, I will first cut out some of the film material for the promotion of trailers to cooperate with you.”

Do you want to warm up in advance? Europa Pictures only needs to let the audience leave the shadow of the film in their hearts and know when they can see it in the cinema.Then the propaganda method of trailers is very effective, and showing up from time to time can remind the audience well.

After talking briefly to Luc Besson about the propaganda, Lehman left the Europa Studios building and set about preparing for the post-editing of the film.

After he left, what he didn't know was that another conversation about him was going on.

”George, let's talk about it.” Luc Besson said, ”How is Lyman's performance?”

Luc Besson had no channels to learn about the filming of ”Three Stupies in Bollywood”. Now that the crew is back, it's time to listen to the report.

This is not only an investment in film projects, but also an investment in individuals, just look at what George said.

”He is very mature and experienced. During the first week of starting the filming, the entire crew was in a state of work that was dominated by him. The people in the departments we often cooperate with Europa Pictures were also very convinced by him. There were some contradictions on the set, but he handled them very well.”

George said of his feelings over the past two months, ”He obviously has experience in managing such large-scale production crews, and he is a very qualified director, and his focus on work is amazing. We can complete the shooting expectations ahead of schedule. It’s also because the shooting status has been very good, and there are very few problems that hinder the shooting progress. Even if there is, it can be resolved immediately.”

”The most important thing is that Lehman is very clear about what he wants or what he should ask the crew to do. He has the right to speak and is very confident about the lens effects presented by the film. This is for a young director. Said, it is a very rare quality, his sense of smell for movies is impressive.”

Luc Besson quietly listened to George’s evaluation of Lehman, and his heart was slightly shaken. He still believed in this old acquaintance. Otherwise, he would not be sent as a producer to accompany him to film in India. It is equivalent to handing over the position of Europa Pictures to him.But the meaning in his words now is not obvious. He is very optimistic about Lyman's directorship and thinks he will achieve something.

”Do you really look at him?”

”I'm just telling my opinion, his director ability, just telling what I saw, I think this movie will not be bad.” At this point, a smile appeared on George's face, ”Look, ” Although ”Three Fools Raising Bollywood” has not seen the final film yet, I believe that this work will never be worse than his first work, it will only be better.”

Really, just one piece of ”Buried Alive” allowed Europa Pictures to make tens of millions of euros in profits on it. Would ”Three Fools Raise Bollywood” be better?

Luc Besson thought about it, but also looked forward to it.

On the second day, Lehmann went directly to the post-production studio created by Europa Pictures, and the entire post-production team began to follow up the whole process.

Ryan and Thomas did not want to miss such a second creation, and followed into the editing room.

After another week, the first edited film material became a more than 5 minutes trailer, which was adopted by the publicity department of Europa Pictures.

On the screen, first more than two minutes of campus life, as the camera continued to cut, roughly presented the Indian education issues discussed in the story, and then the most classic dialogue between Rancher and the dean. A wonderful dialogue raised the doubts of the entire trailer and further stimulated the curiosity of the audience.

At the same time, some media tabloids also began to warm up in advance. In India, Eros International Pictures and Europa Pictures also began to cooperate in propaganda actions.
