Hollywood legendary director

People always like to chase poetry and distance, chasing illusory dreams, but before acting, it is best to fill their stomachs first. If they can't even the most basic survival, everything else is just empty talk.

It's been two days since I came to this strange country. Lehman didn't go anywhere and did nothing except wandering around here to get familiar with the environment.

Before his movie dream can be realized, he must first have an opportunity to participate, or a job related to it.

After all, his total assets are only 356 yuan except for the property. He also spent 30 yuan on the bakery today, which is only 326 yuan.

If he doesn't find a source of income, he may really starve to death in France-it would be too cruel to die in a foreign country, Lehman absolutely does not want to.

The sky soon began to darken again. France didn't know whether the security conditions were good or not, and Lehmann didn't dare to go out to hang out at night alone.

For dinner, I went out to buy French bread sticks in the morning, plus some cooked cold boil, chewed it randomly, and swallowed it into the water.

It probably only cost 5 euros.Lehman had no income yet, and he didn't dare to spend a penny indiscriminately. He had to save some money.

Lying on the bed in the bedroom early, Lehman turned his mind, thinking about how he should make money next?

write script?No way.Not to mention that his creative ability is very poor, and he can barely justify himself. Even if he writes a good script, who will buy it?There is no shortage of good stories in this world, but people who can take pictures of them.As a former insider, Lehman knows that the script library of many film companies is full of scripts that no one appreciates. This is an infinitely low probability.

To be an actor?It doesn't seem to work either.He looked at his face, and he looked like a superhero, handsome but not handsome, characteristic but not characteristic.How can an ordinary and featureless face make a living in the cruelly competitive showbiz...

As for copying songs, it’s even a fantasy. He has listened to a lot of songs and a lot of English, but he has heard and written songs that are completely different. Let him come from someone who has not received professional studies. Write and kill him.

Thinking of this, Lyman stood up and walked to the window, looking through the window at the star-filled sky, he needed to calm down.

After a long time, he sighed, discarded the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and turned his thinking back to the most realistic thing, which is to find a paid job to solve the future survival problem.

Everyone wants to get rich overnight, but it's just a dream.

Where is this place?Cannes, the town with the strongest French movie atmosphere.The two-week international film festival is held here every year in mid-May.

There must be no shortage of work in the film industry here, Lehman thought to himself.

As the night darkened, Lehman no longer thought about what to do tomorrow, his physical and mental exhaustion had begun to urge him to rest.

After a good night's sleep, Lyman was awakened by a knock on the door early the next morning.

Only when the door was opened, a dark figure rushed up.

He hugged Lehman and patted Lehman's back with his palm.

"Ryan Garcia." Lehman could only see who came, and he also shouted immediately.

The man called Ryan released his arm and stood in front of Lyman with a smile on his face, "Oh, my dear friend, you don't seem to be very happy."

The man standing in front of Lyman has long chestnut hair that is casually draped over his shoulders. Under his tall nose and rough eyebrows, he has a pair of slightly deep dark blue eyes, and the chin is rough and rough. The messy stubble dots, the whole round face is matched with a tall and thin body, a wild temperament rushes to his face.

He is Lyman's college friend, Ryan.

That is, one of the two members who didn't know how to make money from making movies.

Lyman pouted his lips, worried that he came to collect the debt, but still calmly said, "Why are you looking for me?"

"It's already June, we agreed to go to the beach to pick up girls, did you forget?" Ryan looked at Lyman with a weird look, wanting to see the panic on his calm face, but he didn't.

Of course, Lehman didn't know what Ryan said. This may have been promised by the original body. Although he inherited part of his memory, he did not have the impression of it.

"But I have to find a job."

"Didn't you say that you don't work? My friend, are you about to leave the leisurely enjoyment of life so soon and be exploited by others?" Ryan took a closer look at Lehman and said with some uncertainty: "It's because Did the movie fail? I said I used my money to make it, and I still have thousands of euros on me. You can use it first."

"Isn't it a loss? What's the big deal, my family runs a slaughterhouse. What kind of money is this money, I can bear it." Ryan's determined eyes seemed to say the truth.

But Lehmann knew it was different.

Ryan's family does have money, but that is his father's asset, and there are two older brothers on him.

That money was also the starting capital for his dad to fund his business. Now that it is gone, he estimates that he will go home and inherit the family business after a while.

Of course it’s not the slaughter factory business. It’s actually the product of his dad’s initial success in his career. He has long since stopped doing that business. The transformation has brought up clothing agency and processing. There are also several stores and factories under his name. The above are wealthy people.

After Ryan finished speaking, he really took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket, and said, "I only carry so much on him. I thought I would use it when picking up girls, but now..." He turned his head and looked at the room that was a bit messy even though he had cleaned up, and said, "You need this money even more. Take it first. Tell me if you have any questions. We have known each other for so long. Don't stop thinking of me as a friend. Sorry to speak."

"Oh, I was just hit suddenly, sleeping at home to heal, and forgot to contact you, sorry, Ryan, I made you worry about it." Lyman said sincerely, apologizing.

Ryan's mood improved obviously. He thought that his friend would be unhappy because of this blow. Now that he can still joke, it means that he has really come out.

"Let me say that the genre of that movie is too unpredictable. People play plainly, we also play plainly, and there is no innovation. Isn't this a failure?" Ryan seriously analyzed the reasons for the film's failure. He still doesn't know whether they were pitted by Miramax, and he thought it was really because the film had no audience, and the lack of market recognition led to the complete shooting cost.

Lehman nodded and agreed with Ryan's point of view.

His analysis is reasonable.

If you don't follow the film festival route to expand your reputation for a plain-style movie plot, you will not be recognized by the audience in all likelihood.The audience will not pay attention to the release of each movie. Of course, some inducement conditions are needed to let him choose the movie he wants to watch.No one knows how there is a market.

Although European literary and artistic films have always been produced a lot, they are also built on the right theaters and their own quality reputation to gain some gains in the box office market. What's more, those famous literary and artistic films do not have to worry about copyright operations. Naturally, other publishers will pay high prices to subsidize production costs. They are like them. One is that they choose the wrong theme, and the other is that they believe the nonsense of Miramax Films. This is a heavy loss and a little profit is returned. There are no conditions for funding.

"Yeah, Ryan, so I plan to find a job in the film industry and gain more experience."

Lehman still accepted the money.In the past, he would never ask for it, but considering that he hadn't eaten normal food for two days, the follow-up work problem was not resolved.In the face of the heavy reality, he didn't give him too many choices, he hesitated a little, and took the money from Ryan.

"Your major is philosophy, and your electives are director theory and set control knowledge. You are really willing to go to the crew to do miscellaneous work."

Even Ryan knows that the qualifications of the film and television industry are a hurdle. Novices like Lehman are probably only able to do miscellaneous tasks.

He said with a hint of disagreement: "Is the first failure as a gain experience? I will go to my father to ask for some money, we are shooting one vigorously. I believe you, Lehman, you are an excellent The director will be successful."

When he was in college, Lehman was praised by many professors for his directorial talents, and Ryan, a scumbag, also admired Lehman.

His obsession with movies strives to analyze the language of thought conveyed behind every scene in the movie.When directing the first work, the huge shot composition and the filling of the various details of the script all showed his love for this career.

In Ryan's view, it is impossible for such a person to succeed in the movie.

"So I succeeded." Lehman's response caused Ryan to choke. The words are not over yet, and the next sentence is more impactful. "But I think I will direct again in the near future. Let's find a copy. The job is more suitable for me."

Now, Ryan didn't understand even more, "Lyman, do you really want to do this? You don't believe in yourself than I do."

Three years of hard work in the last life made Lehman even more aware of the cruelty of the circle.Indeed, he has a lot of experience in shooting, and the accumulation of other professional experience also allows him to understand the operation of the set, but so what, where does the money come from?Do you rely on Ryan for funding?

He didn't want to do this.

Filming is risky. He can't do unsure things again and again, but Ryan will bear the consequences, which is not something that friends should do.

Although he had only been in contact for such a period of time, he felt Ryan's friendship with Lehman.

It is precisely because of this that one cannot easily get involved in filming.That is the disrespect of this feeling.
