250 Chapter 250 Small talk (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
The newspaper of the second day really broke the report that Lyman Rast was interested in cooperating with Warner. The content was true and false, and some unnecessary details were added. For example, the two sides were because of the ”Chain Saw”. The profit sharing was unfair, and the Paramount store bullied its customers. Director Lehmann then switched to Warner.
Although this report did not arouse much attention from readers, in the eyes of interested people, it is not known for whom this good show is sung.
Today’s newspapers are full of great news about Warner: ”The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution” premiered at a box office of 48.47 million U.S. dollars, and after landing overseas, it has triggered a movie-watching boom in various places, with a cumulative total of nearly 100 million on the first day of the world.
This is the overseas distribution capability that Warner Pictures relies on, and there are really few film companies that can achieve simultaneous global distribution.
It is not difficult for an international distributor like Europa Films to achieve simultaneous releases in France and the United States, but it is very difficult to contact so many countries and regions, negotiate the theater line and determine the release date.
I have to say that Warner is Warner. As a film company that can wrestle with Pinnacle Disney in the future, its production capabilities and strong publicity capabilities are really not comparable to ordinary film companies.
Even if it is the Big Six in Hollywood, there are high and low points.
And there is no doubt that Warner at this time is the top one.
On the second day after the banquet, Lehman was taking care of the company's affairs.
After the company's internal personnel situation is finally cleared, the second business is to recruit people.
The recruitment advertisement was posted a long time ago, and Lehman also asked CAA to help and release the news in the circle. However, most of the people who came to apply for the job were not very reliable. When asked about the qualifications, they were just new to the circle. Ask about work experience. Yes, most of them don’t. Ask about your ideal position, but you all want to be an executive. Who can agree?
To train talents or something, you have to start from the bottom, so that you know if there are real materials. For this, you want the management team, and you don't have any working qualifications. Lehman just made a few fools and sent it away.
There was no progress throughout the morning. In the afternoon, Johnson called first, saying that he had found the author of the novel and communicated the meeting place.
”Million Dollar Baby” is actually one of the stories in a collection of novels. It has undergone some artistic processing and appears to be more dramatic.
After all, movies are not reality, and if there is no story, they are too plain, and the audience has never bought it.
As for the author, it’s because Lehman wants him to help polish the script, or the script adapted by Warner is not very satisfying to Lehman. Neither the dialogue nor the background of the characters are interesting enough, and it is about boxing rules. On the one hand, Lehman also has something to ask.
Johnson is well-measured and the scheduled time is three in the afternoon.
Lehman drove to a bar called ”Josh's Cabin” and looked at the chic and unruly decoration style in front of him. There was not much that he could see that it was a bar, so he smiled and shook his head.
Just like the name, this is probably the kind of place where you can relax and drink among the neighbors who only greet regular customers.
Of course, this meeting place is decided by others, if Johnson's style, he would definitely choose a coffee shop.
Open the door of the bar, there is not much space inside, and the seats are next to the bar ring cloth.
At this time, it was the time of work. There was only one bartender in the bar who was wiping the glass, and guests sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender while drinking.
He is wearing a white and blue checked gown, the lower body is also simple loose pants, with thick boots, and almost half a hundred hair on his head.
Hearing the sound, he turned around, saw Lyman in a black suit, and came over to meet.Unable to smile, he said politely, ”Mr. Lyman, please come and sit down.”
