Paramount Pictures headquarters, Hollywood.
Shirley Lansing looked at the project planning document sent by the Firefly Film Company on the table, thinking slightly.
Sitting across from her confidant, Andrew David, who is in charge of the marketing department, looked through the documents with interest.
”This project is very feasible, and the story is well carried on the part that the audience is more interested in. Now some people have called the jigsaw the second Hannibal, two perverts of anti-social personality, really interesting.” Just after reading the accompanying script summary, Andrew David introduced it very easily.
”It's still a sophisticated killing mechanism, which has almost become a kind of logo of jigsaw. President, this Wen Ziren is really good. Such an excellent idea is really suitable for sequel adaptation. According to this template, it should not be possible to shoot several films. problem.”
Shirley Lansing then said: ”Well, I heard Lehman mentioned before. He said that if the effect is good, the audience can accept it, you can continue to shoot, and the investment will not be like ”Harry Potter”, ”007” is the same as the water turns the boat high. After all, the jigsaw is just a symbol, and it can be played in a big deal. This is not a problem.”
”What about the release mentioned above?”
”Of course I am willing, but...” Shirley Lansing said calmly: ”Never mind anything else. The investment in this project will cost at least 10 million yuan, but this does not allow us to Do you know what it means to participate in investment?”
”I know.” Andrew David said of a seemingly unrelated matter, ”I heard that the film company established by Lyman will fully contract the production of this film, and CAA, they are also very willing stand by.”
”Hmph, then let them support. They don't have the ability to issue theaters, and even if they are shot, they are still in bad hands.”
”It's not that simple. You have to know that Warner is also very close to Lehman recently, and Europa Pictures has promised to be responsible for the overseas distribution of the film. Kevin Hoween even took Lehman to meet Barry Meyer in person. ”
Shirley Lansing's face changed slightly, and she looked at Andrew David, ”What is CAA doing?”
”What else can they think about? Isn't their purpose all clear. Over the years, they have launched packaged services and frequently wooed directors. Aren't they all expanding their influence in the circle? , If it were not forbidden by the law (anti-monopoly law), they would have been dissatisfied with the service commission and set foot in the film and television production business. But even so, under the covers, they are involved in less film production. What. Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and even the American dramas of the past few years...Lyman is just the next point of effort.”
Who doesn't know CAA's wolf ambition?
Will a company with so many artist resources be satisfied with the role of an intermediary service?
Of course, as long as they don't really take that step, it doesn't matter.
Without the ability to issue, everything is wasted.
There is no fool in the Big Six of Hollywood. The cake has already been divided. Who will allow anyone to come in.
It's all small means of struggling.
With that, Shirley Lansing sighed.
”I really want to air them. Look at his conditions. The 25% issuance fee, including the publicity fee, is simply harsh. Such an attitude makes it clear that there is no fear.”
Of course there is no fear, as David mentioned, if Paramount didn't agree, he turned around and threw himself into Warner's arms.If it weren't for the fact that the cooperation in the past was a pleasant one, he would like to bid directly with the major film companies in order to maximize profits.
