Hollywood legendary director

"Mr. Luc Besson."

After the group returned to France, Lehmann came to the Europa Studios building again and met with Luc Besson.

"Lyman, please sit down first." Luc Besson greeted him kindly, and let the assistant make two cups of coffee in.

"How's this trip to India? The movie feels good, right?" Luc Besson asked.

"Successful shooting is just the beginning, and then there will be tedious post editing." Lyman said with a smile.

After chatting with each other for a while, Lyman began to talk business.

"Mr. Luc Besson, now the film is about to enter post-production, shouldn't it be properly promoted?"

The hasty publicity of the upper movie has already exposed many drawbacks. Naturally, this movie needs to be grasped.

"Well... it is possible to carry out a small-scale promotion and warm up in advance." Luc Besson first affirmed Lehmann's proposal, and then asked: "How much time do you need for the post-production of this film?"

"It will take more than a month at least, and the specific time depends on the production efficiency." Lehman hesitated and gave a slightly vague time.

"If it's more than a month, we will preliminarily select a schedule for next year's February release. Of course, we will discuss the specific plan again in detail." Luc Besson said in a deep thought.

"Well, I'm up to you for the work in this area. I will go to post-production soon. If necessary, I will first cut out some of the film material for the promotion of trailers to cooperate with you."

Do you want to warm up in advance? Europa Pictures only needs to let the audience leave the shadow of the film in their hearts and know when they can see it in the cinema.Then the propaganda method of trailers is very effective, and showing up from time to time can remind the audience well.

After talking briefly to Luc Besson about the propaganda, Lehman left the Europa Studios building and set about preparing for the post-editing of the film.

After he left, what he didn't know was that another conversation about him was going on.

"George, let's talk about it." Luc Besson said, "How is Lyman's performance?"

Luc Besson had no channels to learn about the filming of "Three Stupies in Bollywood". Now that the crew is back, it's time to listen to the report.

This is not only an investment in film projects, but also an investment in individuals, just look at what George said.

"He is very mature and experienced. During the first week of starting the filming, the entire crew was in a state of work that was dominated by him. The people in the departments we often cooperate with Europa Pictures were also very convinced by him. There were some contradictions on the set, but he handled them very well."

George said of his feelings over the past two months, "He obviously has experience in managing such large-scale production crews, and he is a very qualified director, and his focus on work is amazing. We can complete the shooting expectations ahead of schedule. It’s also because the shooting status has been very good, and there are very few problems that hinder the shooting progress. Even if there is, it can be resolved immediately."

"The most important thing is that Lehman is very clear about what he wants or what he should ask the crew to do. He has the right to speak and is very confident about the lens effects presented by the film. This is for a young director. Said, it is a very rare quality, his sense of smell for movies is impressive."

Luc Besson quietly listened to George’s evaluation of Lehman, and his heart was slightly shaken. He still believed in this old acquaintance. Otherwise, he would not be sent as a producer to accompany him to film in India. It is equivalent to handing over the position of Europa Pictures to him.But the meaning in his words now is not obvious. He is very optimistic about Lyman's directorship and thinks he will achieve something.

"Do you really look at him?"

"I'm just telling my opinion, his director ability, just telling what I saw, I think this movie will not be bad." At this point, a smile appeared on George's face, "Look, " Although "Three Fools Raising Bollywood" has not seen the final film yet, I believe that this work will never be worse than his first work, it will only be better."

Really, just one piece of "Buried Alive" allowed Europa Pictures to make tens of millions of euros in profits on it. Would "Three Fools Raise Bollywood" be better?

Luc Besson thought about it, but also looked forward to it.

On the second day, Lehmann went directly to the post-production studio created by Europa Pictures, and the entire post-production team began to follow up the whole process.

Ryan and Thomas did not want to miss such a second creation, and followed into the editing room.

After another week, the first edited film material became a more than 5 minutes trailer, which was adopted by the publicity department of Europa Pictures.

On the screen, first more than two minutes of campus life, as the camera continued to cut, roughly presented the Indian education issues discussed in the story, and then the most classic dialogue between Rancher and the dean. A wonderful dialogue raised the doubts of the entire trailer and further stimulated the curiosity of the audience.

At the same time, some media tabloids also began to warm up in advance. In India, Eros International Pictures and Europa Pictures also began to cooperate in propaganda actions.

"Today, a reporter from the Mumbai Evening News interviewed actor Amir Khan. Facing the reporter, Amir Khan said very confidently that his new film "Three Fools in Bollywood" will definitely bring a different viewing experience to the audience. ."

There are more interviews with actors, spreading in India.After all, most of the actors in the movie are Indians. Eros International Pictures naturally knows where the focus of the promotion will make the audience more interested. In France, the focus of the promotion is different. Their target is anyone. Put it on the director Lyman.

Actually speaking, the publicity work of a film on the actors is definitely more effective, but the French media can never publicize how good Amir Khan is or how dedicated the actors are, not to mention that the European cultural circle does not accept it. Indian actor stars, just looking at it this way, they feel strange.

According to the Parisian newspaper, the actor Amir-Khan said...Balabara’s, it is very contrary to the sight.So they report like this:

"The director of "Buried Alive" returns strongly with his new work "Three Fools in Bollywood", or is about to win next year's box office ranking."-"San Ferro Daily"

"Rookie director Lyman threatened that "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" will become a benchmark for Indian films and set the industry standard for them in European film circles."-"Paris Times"

"Break the record? The billion-dollar club may add another person. The 26-year-old director Lehmann may become the best young generation in the French film industry."-"The New Observer"

"Cannes Evening News takes you in-depth analysis of the rise of director Lyman."-"Paris Competition Illustrated"

"I look forward to director Lyman's new film. His "Buried Alive" is still vividly visible."-"Viewpoint"

"It is reported that all the crew members of "Three Fools in Bollywood" went to Mumbai, India, and insisted on shooting on the spot, just to present a more authentic Indian style."-"Le Monde"

......

In silence, Europa Films and Eros International Films began to exert their efforts, and the promotion costs immediately became effective.Of course, these are all tabloid reports, and they are all regional media, especially Paris. As the seat of Europa Films, it seems more caring and more capable of nonsense.

Obviously, Lehmann was rushed into the later film production and never accepted any newspaper interviews, but how could the unscrupulous media tabloids let go of such an excellent source of heat.Everything is said to be true.

Although they are not as smooth as the shocking body of well-known news websites in later generations, there is no difference in the depth of the content.

In short, it is just a picture of the beginning of the game, and the content depends entirely on editing, how to attract the eye.

Anyway, reporters have never lacked imagination. When they close their eyes, they can fill up tens of thousands of hyped news headlines, and they dare to write anything outrageous.

But this kind of blind writing can really attract the attention of some audiences.

At least some people who have watched the "Buried Alive" movie have aroused curiosity.It’s worthwhile to warm up in advance to leave a little impression of the movie in the minds of the audience.

......

The post-production of the film continued, and after the rough cut, the length of the film was controlled at 130 minutes.

This is undoubtedly too long, even if some ambiguous branches and the first few paragraphs of funny content are deleted, it is still not ideal.

His goal is to think that this movie can be controlled within two hours.

It's best to think over and over again, and the duration of the film is set at 115 minutes.

He couldn't cut it anymore, and he killed a lot of brain cells in these 15 minutes.

It is not a simple matter to control the rhythm of the film and to achieve a smooth plot.

After the editing is completed, it is the soundtrack. In this regard, Lehman is not a professional. After telling his requirements, the production team mobilized by Europa Pictures will naturally present satisfactory results.

Then communicate with the sound editor and Lehman, and reach an agreement.

Furthermore, the entire narration entry took two or three days.

On January 10th, all post-production was completed, and the finished film went through magneto-transfer and burned onto the film again, and a few more backups were made.

I brought the film to meet the director Luc Besson of Europa Pictures again, preparing to start the internal screening and the appointment schedule.

Last year’s "Buried Alive" did not have this step, so the initial release was very miserable. After all, was it bought from the film festival? It was a child picked up, so naturally it didn't feel bad.Is it now, full investment, it's different again...
