68 Chapter 68 Seems like a cocktail party (seeking recommendation for collection) (1/2)
In Los Angeles in May, the climate has begun to heat up.
An extended Lincoln commercial vehicle was driving on the road, and soon it was parked in a parking lot next to a hotel.
”Huh, finally here.” Ryan adjusted his tie and opened the back seat door.
Lyman, Thomas, and George got out of the car one after another, and the next step was to participate in a celebration reception for Paramount Pictures.
Although the lights were already on and the night was over, it was already after seven o'clock in the evening.
However, the interior of the hotel is still decorated with magnificence.
This is the beginning of nightlife.
After showing the invitation, the group, led by the waiter, stepped into the main hall of the reception.
As soon as he walked in, someone greeted him.
”Hi, everyone...”
A middle-aged man in his thirties greeted them affectionately by shaking hands.
For this person, Lehman still had the impression that he was an assistant to Tony Slock, the head of distribution at Paramount Pictures.
After a few words of courtesy, the other party led the way and led Lehmann and his group to the second floor. It seemed that he was there waiting for them.
”Mr. Lyman Last...”
”Mr. George...”
”Ryan...”
Along the way, some and none of them were greeted by the group of them, but in Lehman’s view, apart from a few familiar, they seemed to be employees of Paramount Pictures related departments. Knowing why they are so kind.
It's just that Lyman also knows how to be polite. Although he thought that way, he smiled and nodded in greeting.
”Congratulations, Director Lehman...” When I arrived at the reception circle on the second floor, it seemed that the people in it were noble.
In addition to Tony Slok, Lyman is a bit familiar, and there are a large number of seemingly powerful guys here.
After all, things are gathered together, and people are divided into groups.
Being able to stand with the real power executives of a top publishing company, with a smile, will certainly not be too bad.
As soon as he met, Tony Slok was the first to greet him with enthusiasm. Lyman shook his hand extended and said politely: ”Thank you, just call me Lyman.”
Although he understands that the other party’s attitude is so good and kind, it is entirely because ”Three Fools Raise Bollywood” has brought good value to Paramount Pictures, but Lyman still maintains a very polite etiquette, ”Thank you very much. Paramount Pictures’ support for me.”
”Come, let's have a drink first, in order to honor what I said to you that day.” Tony Slok took two glasses of champagne from the waiter next to him, and handed one of them to Lehman.
”Bang!” In the crisp sound of clinking glasses, the two of them did it accordingly.
Then, under the introduction of Tony Slock, Lyman shook hands with several other senior officials who were present at Paramount.
These people all treated each other with smiles, and of course, Lehman did the same.
There was a wave of entertainment, and the waiters in black kept moving through the crowd, constantly delivering champagne to the guests in need, and waiting to completely deal with the people of Paramount Pictures , Lyman also quickly found an opportunity to slip away.
He walked to the balcony of the reception hall leaning to the outside, took this place to avoid, and breathed in secretly.
This is actually a very formal cocktail party.
Lyman knew that perhaps his successive successes made Paramount Pictures a little cautious.
And just frequent conversations with all kinds of very simple, can also prove this-Paramount Pictures wants Lyman to join their camp.
No one will let go of a valuable director. In Hollywood, it is even more common.
It's a pity that Lehman doesn't have any meaning in this regard.
He admits that the strength of Paramount Pictures is stronger than that of Europa Pictures, and because of this, if he takes over the olive branch of Paramount and joins it, it will not necessarily be better than Europa Pictures.
Strength and channels are strong, but the degree of emphasis may not necessarily match.
From this point of view, Europa Pictures has a little advantage.
That is, they will pay more attention to Lyman's director ability than Paramount Pictures, and even pay more directing conditions that benefit Lyman.
Of course, this may also be a nonsense by him, Europa Pictures has no plans at all. After all, all this is the result of Lehman's guess based on his own knowledge.
Then just try it. If Europa Pictures doesn't pay attention to him and refuses to pay more, it is not too late for him to change jobs.
To be honest, Lehmann is still quite willing to cooperate with Europa Pictures. After all, the French director Luc Besson, perhaps based on a director's own cognition, is willing to give creators a lot of freedom on the set.
For example, George was originally a supervisor who was sent over, but he was very talkative and has been very helpful to Lyman.
This is also a point that Lyman has deliberately thought about, otherwise he would not hesitate to refuse as early as the first time Tony Slock wooed.
He cares more about his right to speak in the filming than the strength of his partners.
”Congratulations, Director Lyman!”
It hasn't been long yet, and another person came over.
Lehman pulled out a smiling face and said politely: ”Thank you.”
