The end of the Hugo Awards ceremony has cooled down the craze of the North American event.

Those science fiction writers who won the Hugo Award were well known to some people under the coverage of journalists, and gained a lot of popularity.

Leicester's winning the Hugo Award for Best Picture of the Year was also arranged by journalists among the award-winning authors, and was sought after by comic fans.

"Watchmen" is also positioned as one of the classic manga in the comic book industry.

The news of the Hugo Award-winning work was reported, and the benefits it brought were unimaginable, bringing visibility to the author and the work.

As a result, "Watchmen" became well-known around the world, and comic book dealers from other countries came to their homes to ask for comics, which led to a lot of sales increases.

In the office, Lester listened to Dimes report on the production of the past six months.

For more than half a year, three films have been completed and edited, and their respective directors have begun to publicize.

After Dimes finished talking about the movie, he turned the topic to the TV series: "Mr. Marshall let me tell you that the filming of "Baywatch" is halfway through, and as for the third season of "Transformers", it is already on Wednesday's animation schedule. ”

"What the results. ”

Lester's eyes lit up, and the cartoon asked;

On the TV side, Frank Marshall has always been running, and Lester has rarely intervened.

The other party's series of means made Flying Bird TV go from worthless to being able to make profits on its own and operate without sponsorship funds from Flying Bird Films, and Lester was very relieved to hand it over to Frank Marshall.

"Ratings are stable. ”

Dimes gave a pertinent message.

Asuka TV broadcast an animation for the first time, and the ratings were stable, which was somewhat a good rating.

"Very nice. ”

Hearing this, Lester was slightly surprised and asked about the ratings of other programs: "What about other programs!"

"You're going to ask Mr. Frank Marshall, he knows better than I do. Dimes shook his head.

Since Frank Marshall took over the network, Dimes has not asked about the network, after all, he is still busy with film production.

"Then go down and get busy!" Lester asked Dimes some questions, and let him go about his business.

"Hey, Lester is looking for me for something. ”

Dimes had just gone out when Emmanuel walked in and asked, sitting directly on the stool.

"You just came back from outside. ”

Lester looked at Emmanuel's dusty suit and leather shoes, with Zou patterns, and was a little curious.

"I'm busy with my artists. ”

Emmanuel said helplessly;

In addition to Leicester's books, there are other artists he likes, and he needs to help them find scenes and shoot a lot of things.

Seeing this, Lester didn't waste his time, and said directly: "I'm looking for you to help me do something." ”

"Oh, what a thing. Emmanuel sat up straight and looked around Leicester with interest.

"Help me tell DC Comics and Warners that I want to invest in their Batman, work with them on superheroes, and bring him to the big screen. Lester's words made Emmanuel frown: "It's a bit difficult, I don't agree with you going to take over DC's superhero movies." ”

"Batman" is a good memory for people in North America, one of the superheroes in their hearts, once it is destroyed, it is very bad for Lester's reputation, and he does not agree with Lester to take "Batman".

Hearing this, Lester knew that he would be disagreed by Emmanuel, and insisted on asking, "What's so difficult?" ”

"Warners didn't agree to your intervention so easily. Emmanuel analyzed with a solemn look in his eyes: "If you want to shoot "Batman" and invest with them, you must be able to come up with reasons to convince them. ”

Speaking of which, Lester also understands what Emmanuel meant, isn't it that "Batman" belongs to sci-fi action, except for the action movie "Die Hard", which is not on the list, none of them can be related to action movies, let alone sci-fi films.

Lester took out a piece of paper with his plan written on it from a drawer and placed it in front of Emmanuel: "Look at it. ”

Emmanuel picked up the paper and looked at it, which wrote Lester's perception of "Batman", but did not write about how to shoot it.

"That's not enough. Emmanuel put down the plan paper in his hand, and he was still not optimistic that Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Comics would agree.

"And you!" Lester pointed at Emmanuel and said as a matter of course: "Can't you explain that there are two companies investing in the adaptation of "Batman" into a movie, and Warner has no reason to refuse, even if it is a loss, it is my business, it has nothing to do with Warner Bros., and Warner can make a lot of money if you win.

"I'll try to get in touch with them. ”

Seeing that Lester trusted him so much, Emmanuel rolled his eyes, agreed with Lester's opinion, and got up and walked outside.

He still has things to do, so he doesn't have so much time to stay in Flying Bird Film and Television, and he said without looking back: "I will try to convince them." ”

Seeing Emmanuel out, Lester picked up the phone and called Frank Marshall.

"Mr. Lester, what a coincidence, I was about to call you and tell you about Asuka TV. ”

The phone was connected, and Frank Marshall's voice came.

It seemed that Frank Marshall was about to call him, when Lester called him first.

Lester listened to Frank Marshall talk about the operation of Asuka TV and TV ratings, and hung up.

The first season of "ER Story," broadcast on the network, aired with 2,450 viewers, brought in 25 million in revenue for Asuka TV.

The first season of "ER" has aired, and Frank Marshall has let the first episode of the first season of "Baywatch" take over, airing on Thursday, a prime time for the whole family to watch TV.

Lester has learned that Rob Holcombo has started filming the second season of ER.

Putting things in order for the company, Lester walked into the editing room to get the final cut of "Die Hard" right.

The music dubbing and other special effects of "Die Hard" are basically matched with the help of Dimes and Chris Welch, and the whole film can be sorted out only by editing.

"Boss, Mr. Christwech has started post-production promotion for Beauty and the Beast. ”

Lester had just sat down when the assistant walked in and announced.

"Got it. Lester fiddled with the Die Hard film and footage without looking back.

"By the way, I'm inviting Gwen Stephanie to join me for the premiere of Beauty and the Beast. ”

The assistant turned around and was about to walk out of the editing room, when Lester suddenly thought of something and reminded the female assistant.

"I see. ”

The female assistant walked out of the editing room with a gossip in her eyes.

Lester is back focused on editing "Die Hard", trying to get him right in October, so that he can be promoted and released later.

While Leicester was editing "Die Hard", a piece of news spread in Hollywood...
