Standing opposite the young director, Jones Butler found that he really underestimated him. His progress was not only obvious, but also amazing. Before the end of the film, she just thought it was very good, but after watching the end, the amazing feeling couldn't be dissipated.

The beginning and end of a film is very important. In Hollywood's extremely mature commercial system, the beginning and end can even occupy more than 60% of the attention of the whole film. Her boss Harvey Weinstein once said that if there is a corresponding and brilliant beginning and end of the film, the middle content can be added at will. As long as it is not too bad, the audience will buy it The account.

The beginning of the film is OK, and the end can't be described as amazing. The middle content is not only not bad, but also brilliant.

Jones Butler takes a deep breath. How much market value will this film have if it is run by Miramax?

She can't estimate it for the time being. It's definitely much higher than hard candy.

"It's a wonderful movie, director Stanton." Jones Butler reached out to shake Murphy and looked at his watch. "It's getting late. I have something else to do. It's time to go."

Murphy stood in front of the theater, not to stay, "goodbye."

As Jones Butler drove away, Murphy looked back at the gate of the theater. It was empty. All the people invited by him and bill rosis seemed to be eager to wait. They said hello to him casually and left at a speed of running for their lives. The director of his film was like a jigsaw.

"That's a good thing." Bill rosis came over from behind and stood beside Murphy. "According to my observation, this film completely exceeded their expectations. A few people gave a very high evaluation in private. They should be back to the company."

Murphy nodded. He has been in this circle for some time. He knows something about the operation of the film company. Except for a few top executives, any project involving millions of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars can't be decided by just shooting his head.

From the attitude of Milton Johnson, Tony gusman and Jones Butler who left successively, he can also see that these people are very interested in the movie.

Distribution companies occupy the upper level of the industrial chain, selling enough projects, but they can fully realize their own market value.

Paul Wilson, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill shipped the copy out. Murphy waved to them, "go to the security company and save the copy. Let's go to lunch."

During the screening, he also saw the reaction of the crowd. Although it's far from the time to celebrate, he can have a drink and relax a little.

Just when Murphy saved the copy, called James Franco and several people walked into the restaurant together, many people from the marketing department and Distribution Department of Lion Gate pictures in Santa Monica rushed to the meeting room.

The room was quiet, with more than a dozen people sitting around. Milton Johnson stood at the front of the table. "Do any of you know the director of Stanton studio and Murphy Stanton?"

Everyone looks at each other. Where are the small companies and new directors? Never heard of it.

Milton Johnson opened his chair and sat down, two fingers gently on the table, "from now on, you immediately look for information about him and establish a complete director file."

Hearing this, many people are surprised to see that Milton Johnson, the director who can be set up a special file by Lion Gate, is a potential partner. Most of them have a bit of reputation in the circle. There are not no such completely strange directors, but the number is very small.

"Jamie..." Milton Johnson looked at a middle-aged man, waited for the female assistant to deliver a business card, and said, "this is Murphy Stanton's contact information. You can contact him as soon as possible, no more than three days at the latest. You must all see his new film."

"His new movie?" Jamie winster was a little strange, but said, "I'll do it after the meeting."

"All of you Milton Johnson said very seriously, "after Jamie contacted Stanton studio for the screening, I ask you to put aside all your work for the time being, go to see the film, evaluate the film, and give me a complete report as soon as possible from the marketing department and the Distribution Department."

Thinking that he might not be able to win the film, he added, "let the people in the editorial department also participate."

Milton - Johnson said so, but also can not help these people do not pay attention, after the meeting began to busy.

Just after the meeting broke up, the female assistant answered a phone call and went to Milton Johnson. "I asked my friend to inquire about Murphy Stanton, who had been in prison, had some disputes with the Los Angeles Police Department, and had offended summery Redstone..."

"Well..." Milton Johnson just nodded, but didn't care at all. "These are the things that the gossip media should care about, and have nothing to do with us."

As for summerstone, lion gate is not a Viacom company. He doesn't care if the director has offended summerstone with such a film that seems to have great market potential.In an office building near the fox building in Century City, Tony gusman was standing in front of a conference room anxiously walking back and forth, sometimes looking at his watch. The Fox Searchlight executives were having a meeting in it, and it was time to finish the meeting.

The door of the conference room suddenly opened from inside, and serious executives came out. When they saw their boss, Godin Clyde, coming, Tony gusman quickly welcomed them.

"What are you doing here?" The boss's words are a little hard, obviously in a bad mood.

He followed his boss into a secluded corridor. "I just saw a movie. In a small production cost of less than five million dollars, I think it's worth five stars."

"What?" The boss turned his head. He knew that Tony gusman was a veteran in the company. He was always cautious and seldom gave such a comment to a film, "are you kidding?"

Tony gusman said with great seriousness, "when did I joke about work?"

The boss nodded, "can you contact the other party to arrange another movie meeting?"

The first quarter performance of Fox Searchlight, especially the Distribution Department, was so poor that there was no film that could win. The head office put great pressure on them. At the meeting just now, several big men of the board of directors were angry.

He is the director of distribution and bears the brunt.

Tony gusman took out his cell phone. "I'll do it now."

Jones Butler returned to the hotel, sat in the living room of the suite, recalled the movie he had just watched, looked at the record in his notebook again, thought about it seriously for a period of time, and finally made up his mind when he thought of the achievements brought by "fruit candy".

She took the phone, pressed a few numbers, and when it was connected, she said, "boss, I have a movie here. If you have time, you'd better come and have a look." (to be continued). )
