Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 30 New Film Project (for recommendation and collection)

In an apartment late at night.

Lyman lay on the bed, stretched his body greatly, without covering the quilt, and forced himself to sleep by closing his eyes.

But I don't know why, my head is messed up, and I can't sleep.

He sighed, pulled a pair of trousers from the bed and put them on, then naked his upper body, wandering around the house without shoes.

Looking out through the window, the street lights on the side of the road are still working as usual, and the soft lights spread over the surrounding circle, illuminating the open space outside the house in half bright and half dark.

After wandering around for a few laps and still did not feel sleepy, Lehman simply ran to the study to continue completing his new script outline.In fact, he now has two plans in mind. The first one is naturally produced at a low cost. After all, the profit after the profit sharing is only enough to support him to complete similar projects; the second is the financing and shooting method, Europa Pictures In view of the good conditions after the release of "Buried Alive", and even made a special trip to talk to him and other things, Lehman thought about it and thought it was okay.

He had invested all his wealth in the production of a movie like the original, the kind of extremely risky behavior, only once, not to mention other, his own future life, also needs money.If you can live a good life, why force yourself to eat chaffy vegetables.Lehman is not a masochist and does not want to repeat the bitter fruit.

He spread out the manuscript paper, picked up a pencil, and began to follow his train of thought to write the story of the second plan.

Scene 5: Dormitory, close-up spotlight.

Character: the protagonist.

The young student took off the light bulb and used the high school physics he had learned to make a simple electrical prop. He wrapped the wire around a piece of metal and stretched out the door along the gap.

Then, the school senior who wanted to pee to demonstrate was hit by the electric current...

Yes, the film he is going to make is mainly about a feature-length film about a newly enrolled college student named Rancher against the decadent education system in India.

Imperial University of Technology is one of the most comprehensive schools in India. Rancher, a newcomer, is a unique university student. He openly questioned the dean’s teaching philosophy and used mavericks to break the college’s traditional educational concepts. In short, He is a thorn in the eyes of a teacher.

For example, life in college is always related to study and exams, which are staged repeatedly.Rancher's results are very good, always ranked among the best, and he has an unusual love and obsession with mechanical applications.His two roommates, Fahan and Raja.The former actually didn’t want to study industrial design. He wanted to be a field photographer, but his family’s incomprehension and persuasion made him embark on this path. As for Raja, his family is very poor. The family hoped that he could find a good job to supplement his family after graduation, so he also entered the college of industrial design.

In the days with Rancher, they did a lot of things that went against the dogma of their previous lives, until they both found out that if this goes on, they may not be able to graduate.There is a gap in the talents of people’s minds. It just so happens that their good friend Rancher is a very good person. He doesn’t spend much time studying every day, but always gets high scores in the exams. Under confusion, they choose Breaking off relations with Rancher...

Unlike the characters and scenes in "Buried Alive", this time, Lehman wanted to shoot a big scene, a large space span of an academy as the background for filming.

In the story design, there is not much novelty, but the perspective is put on the teaching system of India.

Since the last time he watched the "Monsoon Wedding Banquet", he has always felt that he wants to do something.

This story was chosen to focus on some social conditions in India.

Educational issues, the whole world is concerned.

Who doesn't want their children to be successful through education?

Therefore, his new film is ready to shoot such a story.

A movie called "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood".

The name sounds a bit frustrated, but there is no way, Lehman can't think of any more in line with the storyline of the name of the play, just follow the previous life.

Like the first self-made film, in this "Three Fools Haunted Bollywood", Lehman also intends to refine some of the core elements of previous works, and will innovate and adapt the story.

This is his work. The value of the film will naturally not beautify India's education system as much as the previous one. For example, he faked his studies and graduated successfully, and he also got the dean's "space pen" that symbolizes honor.This kind of design concept, let alone India, can't even happen in American schools that have always been liberal and democratic.

Beyond the limitations of the region, Lehmann chose to interpret this story in his own way.

Therefore, in terms of overall perception, although the tone of this movie is joyful, it is more of a sadness.

Rigid educational doctrines suppress the nature of every student, forcing them to study hard, take exams, and obey, otherwise they will not be able to graduate.

That small certificate is related to the yearning and helplessness of all students.

As for whether such a large-scale adaptation will fail, is it too risky?But then again, which movie was made at the beginning, not a gamble.

The gambling audience will accept it, the gambling market will be optimistic, and the gambling theaters will be issued smoothly...

Before any film is shot, there is no way to truly predict whether it will be successful or whether it will have a good result.Even if the Indian director Rakuma-Hilani from the previous life is allowed to direct "Three Fools in Bollywood", at this point in time, it is impossible to completely copy everything from the previous life.

The light design, the use of the lens, the director's shooting philosophy, the connection of the characters and even the later editing, soundtrack, sound effects, etc., a slight change will produce a different film.

There have never been two leaves that are exactly the same in the world.

What's more, the film he shot is focused on the global market, and it does not rely solely on India to contribute to the box office.

Moreover, the nearly three-hour filming of the original is really difficult for him to repeat. If he shoots it like this, the cinema will never provide any good performances or more screens to show.

In the world of businessmen, profit is everything that measures value.A movie of someone else has been shown twice before you show it again. Even if the attendance rate is high, the theaters will definitely choose the first movie to arrange first.

In addition, there are many hypocritical points in the original plot, and the plot is also somewhat procrastinated. The protagonist's large and large straight preaching in the film can be deleted.

As for the creation of the villain, the dean is also somewhat rigid. He has been teaching for so many years, and his cognition is absolutely qualitative. If he abides by the education system, how can he be so easily persuaded? As for the daughter used to completely break the concept of the dean in the movie The line has dragged down the overall rhythm of the film, and Lehmann directly abandoned this branch line.

What he wanted to talk about was the corruption and the nature of stifling students under the Indian education system, rather than focusing on Rancher's ambiguous story and the dean's awakening.

After clarifying the idea of ​​adaptation, Lehman wrote the outline very quickly, and the shaping of each role began to emerge:

The dean who symbolizes the dogma of the old age, his face is always serious, and he stubbornly believes that only grades are the standard to measure the value of a student;

Lancher, who symbolizes the new ideas of education in the new era, is optimistic by nature and can always influence people and things around him. He does not put the dean's performance theory in his eyes, but encourages the surrounding roommates to try to stick to their ideals.

It is this complete opposition that determines all the conflicts and plot rhythms of this movie.

The series of events caused by the collision of ideas is the main line. As for the other branches used for embellishment, those that have nothing to do with the main line are all removed.

The original director's narrative technique, the method of starting the plot from the agreement ten years ago, naturally cannot be used, the branch line is gone, the agreement is naturally a joke.

Lehman's idea is simple, using the most straightforward and straightforward narrative to portray the real life of Indian universities. Under the high pressure, the suppressed nature of each student is what he wants to tell through the film.

He has never thought of copying movies mechanically. He is a director, he has his own ideas, and the stories he wants to tell are naturally different.

Even if there is a successful precedent for the previous work, it cannot be copied completely.He has his own shooting concept.

Moreover, copying has never been a panacea. Just like the movies made by some directors are never edited according to their own wishes, there are too many changes in this world, and immutability is the most terrible thing.

For example, black politics is the most mainstream direction of Hollywood creation in the back. Hei Minggui has also become people's favorite point of promotion. But if we take out a movie dominated by black people now, at this point in time, it will be placed in the United States. In the big environment, do you still think you can still succeed? Do many audiences still agree?

The answer is a question mark.The time and place are right and the people are harmonious, and movies also pay attention to these. Different movies will be shaped under different circumstances.Homosexuality can be accepted, isn't it only after the new century that it gradually became the chief flu officer? Who would have thought that these would become normal words in people's mouths?

Therefore, blind copying is not absolutely correct.

Moreover, if the movie is all copied and pasted, then it will lose its most attractive charm. The wonderful feeling of being immersed in the world portrayed by the director for the audience is what this light and shadow art needs most.

Art creation needs the ideology and spirit of the creator in order to truly take shape and enjoy the sweetness.
