253 Chapter 253 (1/2)
Maybe the script is good enough, or maybe Barry Meyer's face is big enough.
In short, after Lehman met with Father Clint Eastwood several times, his agent quickly reached an agreement with the crew, and the performance pay was also a symbolic $3 million-the peak of the actor's career. He is usually between 30 and 45 years old, but he is a director and his worth is not easy to estimate. This number was given by his agent after referring to his opinions.It can be considered that Lyman owes some favors.
After the signing of the performance contract, if the iron-blooded cowboy with a rich resume is not surprised, he will probably play ”Frankie”. The image of this role is almost tailored for him. It is also the first time Lehman saw the script An actor who thinks of (Generally speaking, Hollywood is the stronghold of the left, but this is different, it is a hard-core right. For the left, refer to Hillary’s campaign philosophy) can be seen from his political stand, just like his classic Like his screen image, he pursues the logic of ”the strong” and hates hypocrisy.
At the same time, after asking Lehman's opinion, Warner quickly arranged the media to release news about the preparation plan for the new film.
”The next work directed by Lyman: the inspirational drama ”Million Dollar Baby””
This is the headline of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times. For a film company of Warner's size, it is very simple to hype the popularity of a movie.
After the newspaper was launched on the market, some news appeared in major forums one after another, and then was reprinted everywhere, and also caused extensive discussion on the Internet.
After all, after so few works, this year another movie like ”Bad Guy” that caused a movie-watching craze was released. Lyman's popularity is among the directors, which can be considered very high, and there are many fans.
Anyway, the people who followed him almost learned the relevant information from various channels and knew that Lehmann was planning to shoot a new work.
As for the co-filming party, there is no one cares about the newly established Firefly Pictures by Lehman.
Although the media know it, they don't pay much attention to it. It's really not surprising that directors and actor stars start film companies.
Los Angeles has never lacked film companies. The media pay more attention to movies. His fifth movie, inspirational drama?
......
”Director Lyman, there has been news recently that it is the actor of the film that will be played by Clint Eastwood. Is this true?”
As soon as Lehman walked out of Warner's headquarters building, he was surrounded by a large group of reporters, asking about all kinds of news related to ”Million Dollar Baby.”
”Excuse me, what is your idea of filming? Why did you choose such a subject film?”
”Can you take the liberty to ask, is there anyone else in the movie? Tom Cruise? Nicholas Cage? Heath Ledger?” The reporter ordered all the actors who used to work with Lyman.
At this moment, surrounded by more than a dozen reporters, the microphone almost poked his face.Although Lehman knew that this was Warner's propaganda method, he had been enthusiastic about the project before shooting, and of course he was willing to cooperate.
As for how to cooperate, Lehman directly indicated with actions.
Ask whatever you want, alas, I just don’t.
The gossip is flying all over the sky, and there is no complete corroboration. Will that only arouse greater topicality?
If everyone knows everything, then there are a few more meanings.
Lehman is deeply committed to the propaganda strategy formulated by Warner and strictly adheres to it.
The chaotic scene attracted the attention of the security guards at the door. Soon several people rushed to maintain order, but the reporters always surrounded Lehman, seemingly not giving a clear answer, and decided not to let him leave.
