Chapter 58: Cooperation

Buzz, buzz.

In the early morning, the sound of a black Lamborghini resounding in the alleys of Universal City, attracting the attention of people on the side of the road.

Driving into Flying Bird Film and Television, the staff who came to work saw this and looked sideways.

Andy, when did we have an employee in our company who drove a Lamborghini?

Haven't heard of it.

Some whispered, their eyes shining as they watched the Lamborghini drive in the parking lot

''Click'''

The door opened, and the stopped employee's eyes lit up, curious to see who was in the window.

"The boss is here, hurry up and get in. ”

Lester walked off the Lamborghini, the curious employees saw this, turned around and walked towards the company, where gossip was inevitable, Lester bought a black Lamborghini Countach, and the company began to go viral.

Lester walked into the office, took the elevator to the fourth floor, and walked to the reception room without entering the office.

The boss, in addition to Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis in the reception room, and the president of the world, Sid Scheienberg, also came.

The female assistant stepped forward to report on today's events and said the name that made Lester's eyes shrink.

"Got it. Leicester paused, stopped at the door of the reception room, pushed open the door of the reception room as usual, and walked in.

The global box office of "Emerald" gradually returned to North America, and Universal Pictures "learned" that Robert Zemeckis's "Emerald" had achieved high box office results, and began to pay attention to it, thinking of the script of "Back to the Future" that he and Bob Gale had cast, and decided to start him, but found the two but were told that they had signed a shooting contract with Asuka Films, which made them not expect that a film and television company would take a fancy to this script for a while.

Universal Pictures, which has a unique vision for sequels, has given the green light and feels that the box office of "Back to the Future" will continue the high box office of "Emerald", and since the script has been signed, it can negotiate distribution channels with Bird Films.

Unlike Lucasfilm, Bird Film and Television has its own distribution channels, although it also has its own distribution channels, but it is not as big as Universal Pictures, and in some places, Leicester cannot be compared with the Big Eight film companies because of financial problems.

Knowing that Sid Scheinberg, the president of Universal Pictures, came over, Lester understood that the other party was for the release of "Back to the Future", and if he wanted to hit the box office, in addition to publicity, he could only cooperate with the other party to release it.

Universal Pictures is very close to Bird Films, only 20 minutes by car, and you can see the building in the distance from the upper floors.

Because of the representative logo of Asuka Film and Television, the neighborhood is very well-known, and it is often heard that the company's employees mention it, and Sid Scheienberg can't even think about it, especially since the "Time" people column also reported Lester's personal deeds.

"Hello, Mr. Sid Scheienberg. ”

"What a young and promising young man. ”

Looking at the young child in front of him, Sid Scheienberg got up and hugged Leicester.

Separated from Sid Shaneberg, Lester shouted to Spielberg, "Mr. Spielberg, long time no see. ”

"Haha, long time no see. ”

Spielberg patted Lester on the shoulder.

This time, Spielberg was invited by Lester to be one of the producers of "Back to the Future", and the producers of the whole film will have the names of Spielberg, Lester, Bob Gale and others.

In addition to Spielberg and Sid Scheienberg, Robert Zemeckis as the director is also there, and producer Bob Gale has to find actors for the script and follow Dimes to find the right actors.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Sidscheienberg when he came to us. ”

A few people sat down, and Lester said quietly;

In the face of him, I did not see the enthusiasm of the president of a large company.

Sid Scheienberg raised his eyebrows, and the other party's humble appearance surprised him in his heart, and said: "My intention is to cooperate with you to release "Back to the Future", I don't think you should refuse." ”

"Released together, I really can't refuse. ”

Leicester knew where his company was and agreed with Sidder Scheienberg.

The two talked about the split, but Sid Scheienberg asked for a share of the video tape in addition to the box office, so the two kept talking about the share, and finally Lester could only agree to Sid Scheienberg's words in order not to tear his face and attract a powerful enemy for himself now.

The two sides signed a contract, which can be regarded as negotiating the box office share of "Back to the Future".

In "Back to the Future", Lester can not only get a share of the box office, but also a salary as an actor, when it comes to Lester's role, Sid Scheienberg took a step back, after all, with Lester's current popularity, he can bring box office to the movie.

But even if Sidder Scheinberg took a step back, Universal Pictures also had more than Asuka Films.

"After this one, you don't have to look at your faces. ''Seeing Sid off Scheinberg, Lester looked at their backs and muttered to himself.

In addition to not having its own cinema chain, Flying Bird Film and Television also cooperates with cinemas, but there is a lack of blockbuster movies, as long as there are blockbuster movies, there will naturally be a lot of distribution channels for Lester to plan.

Leicester doesn't want to be like Lucasfilm and DreamWorks, relying on the distribution channels of giant studios.

Lester arrived at the audition room with Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, and producers Bob Gale and Dimes had already begun auditioning for other roles in the script

For the important roles in the script, the crew sent them invitations.

As soon as the supporting roles auditioned, everyone held a meeting to discuss and discuss, and basically gave the supporting roles.

The supporting roles are set, and a group of people begin to discuss who is suitable to play the role of Marty.

"I think Eric Storowz's performance in 'The Mask' is very good enough for him to play the role of Marty. ”

"No, send an invitation to Michael M. J. Fox, he's more suitable. ”

Robert Zemeckis wanted to be played by Aric, but Lester refused, thinking that he was not suitable.

Lester knew that if Alex was to play him, Robert Zemeckis would find out that he wasn't the right fit and waste an extra $300 in money by the time the film started.

Lester thought about it, but still felt that the protagonist used the original protagonist of his previous life, Michael J. J. Fox is better, and the other party has not yet started filming "The Birth of a Family".

In the script, except for the protagonist Lester, the other two or three characters were replaced by Lester.

There is no shortage of actors in Hollywood, Leicester doesn't want the crew to be like the "Back to the Future" crew in his previous life at the beginning, it will be difficult as soon as filming starts, either the one who takes maternity leave, or changes the actors, which will waste a lot of time, and Lester doesn't want to spend it on the "Back to the Future" crew in 85.
