Hollywood legendary director

It was late at night, and Lyman sat at the table, opened the book, and then conceived a new movie setting.

This time, he plans to make a war scene.

Well, the reason is that he had nothing to do last week and went to the cinema to watch the "We were Warriors."

After returning to the hotel, I always wanted to do something deep in my heart.

In fact, war movies are always the kind of romance unique to men, and there is no shortage of markets and audiences. They are considered to be a better type of movie theme.

However, he just sat at the table, frowned and thought about the blank manuscript, without any inspiration in his mind.

War movies will never be outdated in the history of movies, and there are many options and events to shoot.

Like "Blood Battle of Hacksaw Ridge", the acclaimed and popular, "American Sniper" has a huge return on profit ratio...

But Lehmann is very self-aware, knowing that the macro-control of this kind of big scene is not his best shot processing, in other words, he lacks such experience.

Forced to shoot, it is very likely that the effect will not be achieved, so we ruled it out decisively.

What else is there?

"Furious?" Lyman murmured softly.

This film is undoubtedly a good one. It portrays the skirmish battles in which the Allied forces penetrated deep into the German hinterland at the end of World War II and competed against the German tanks of the Soviet Union. There is also an extremely real battlefield atmosphere. The soldiers' humanity thinking in the face of war.

If these aspects are done well, it will not be surprising to impress the audience and bring additional market response.

Lehman carefully analyzed the difficulty of shooting "Furious," and then compared his ability and shooting experience, and found that it was really feasible.

The depiction of scenes and characters is much less than that of other war dramas. It is the rhythm he is familiar with; the shooting process does not use complex cg technology, no special effects, and can be completed by setting up scenes on the spot; In terms of budget, it will not consume too much money and increase the risk of investment.

The only problem is that he hasn't learned any tactics, and he doesn't know how to control the steps and coordinate the battle to complete the task.

However, for these tasks, he can find a real tank officer or a professor who has studied the tank unit of World War II to help arrange specific operational instructions and on-site scheduling.

After these have specific solutions, the rest is the character setting.Characters are the key to portraying war drama.

Well, it's still a combination of veterans and recruits, which is the safest, easy to portray the theme, and ensure drama.

Lehman thought this way and began to write an outline of the characters.

"Sergeant": Serious, pragmatic, adhere to orders, and have a certain moral bottom line; a common image of an officer.

"Bible": Christian, deputy tank commander, is also responsible for controlling the main gun system; in the long war career, only the "Bible" can soothe his heart.

"Machine": The recruit was originally trained as an intelligence system employee in the rear, and later went to the front line; he has a higher education, but what he has to learn now is how to survive on the battlefield.

"Godot": Responsible for driving that battle tank; addicted to alcohol.

"Kuhn": Loader; bold and indifferent to life.

......

Corris stood at a desk, his head lowered slightly, his expression tense, and he said nothing.Since the success of "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood", he has had a hard time.Now he was standing in an office in Miramax.

Opposite him, Harvey Weinstein leaned back in the large boss chair, his plump face without any joy, but a serious look.

"Sorry, boss." Koris finally couldn't stand the gaze, and proactively spoke up: "It's all because of my misjudgment of Lehman's project prospects. This has led to the company's successive losses of two films with high market value."

Obviously he was only a marginal figure in this incident, but he had to take all the gangsters on him.

To say that the bad director Lehman should be the first company employee to cheat him, and Harvey Weinstein's unrelenting face should also be the problem, but who makes one of these two people his own Boss, one has resigned and left long ago.

In this way, it is really unlucky for him, Corris, who has dealt with Lehman many times, and the company's status is not low, so it is suitable for the back.

Who told him to share the issue of negotiating the issue? Not wrong.

As the so-called subordinates make mistakes, they must be the subordinates' mistakes, and the boss's mistakes must also be the subordinates' mistakes. Coris understood this workplace rule very early.

When he said this, he never dared to lift his head, as if he wanted to impress Harvey Weinstein with this more sincere method.

"He should have been a loyal partner of Miramax." Harvey Weinstein finally broke the silence with a cold and blunt tone, "but why did the filming department offend him like this."

It's not what you asked for, buy international film rights as low as possible, otherwise, why would we play some tricks on the distribution contract!This thought flashed through his mind, but Coris wasn't stupid enough to say it.

"Forget it, go out and pay more attention to your department in the future."

Kris sighed, stepped lightly, and left the office slowly.

Harvey Weinstein's gaze fell on a report on the desk in front of him, and the fat on his face trembled twice.

After all, he is Harvey Weinstein, how could he completely put this series of errors on his subordinates?

Just seeing the latest statistics on the report’s one-week North American box office rankings, he felt agitated. It was clear that they were the first to cooperate. Turning around, not only did the established partnership not take care of it, but on the contrary, Become an enemy.What makes sense!

Harvey Weinstein's eyes moved down and glanced at the latest list.

The first place is still the name that makes people feel dazzling-"Three fools make Bollywood", 36,753,200 US dollars.

The production cost of this film is about 6 million. In these three weeks, it has taken away $73,246,200 in the entire North American market, and has won the weekly box office champion for two consecutive weeks.

This number is really astonishing. I thought that the North American box office assessment of this film in my heart was about 50 million, or I planned the only award operation system after winning the Oscar for best foreign language film.

Facts have proved that Harvey Weinstein sometimes misses his eyes.Ah, no, I don't have to look at it at all, after all, people are not even willing to give it a chance to negotiate.

He suddenly felt tight in his chest. Believe that it was because of that action last year that caused such a large amount of profit, and it slipped from his own hands.

Even if it's 50 million estimated by myself, that's an amazing return ratio.

Moreover, this is not the final box office figure. "Three Fools in Bollywood" can only be expanded for two weeks. The overseas box office revenue, video tape revenue and the operation of the surrounding copyright will also be included. , What will the final profit be?

Even though many excellent films have been operated over the years, the Oscars are even softer, but this rough estimate of the value still makes Harvey Weinstein feel extremely heartache!

Especially because this was a good situation that his company had personally ruined. This fact is more like tearing his heart and lungs, laughing at his shortsightedness and lack of talent.

But who knows that the shooting skills of that year were quite satisfactory and the new director without aura would evolve into what it is today.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so unrelenting, because in his opinion at the time, this kind of director, once caught a lot of the film industry, was not worth the bet and investment.

Lyman Last!

Thinking of this name, Harvey Weinstein felt very uncomfortable. The little director made him and Corris played around. On the surface, it seemed that he had let go of the past and could cooperate, but in fact he was tough inside, and there was no chance. Willing to give.

Do you really think someone is a fool?

The suffocation in his chest made Harvey Weinstein very awkward. He stood up and walked twice.

Turning to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, he let out a long breath before finally feeling better.

Will he be the next Quentin Tarantino?

Harvey Weinstein put his arms around his chest and looked into the distance. This thought came to mind unconsciously.

The discovery of Quentin, the director's geek, has allowed Miramax to usher in rapid development, which is one of his most proud things.But one thing he can't deny is that although Quentin's movies are a carnival feast for film critics and a small number of fans, they are not a delicacy for more popular fans.It seems that he lacks the popularity that Lehman gave the film?

Yes, Lehmann's works, in his opinion, cater to the tastes of the public more, but they did not abandon the humanistic thinking in the movie.

This is true whether it is "Buried Alive" or "Three Fools Haunted Bollywood".

It's a pity that I missed him.

However, all of this has not been finalized, but I have to see for myself where this young director can go.

Harvey-Weinstein can lead Miramax to the level it is today. Maybe the company still has many problems, but he will never give up easily, otherwise he will not let Quentin serve honestly. After so long, his temper is even more weird, he can surrender, why can't he surrender Lyman?

As the helmsman of an enterprise, Harvey Weinstein may have various quirks and well-known problems, but learning from failure is the most basic quality.He is by no means a mediocre who only knows regrets, but understands better what a good director means to the film industry.

Back at the desk, Harvey Weinstein put away the report, picked up his pen, and rewritten the next line of letters on a blank sheet of paper-Lyman Rust.

He pressed the paper under the transparent glass layer of his desk, which was both a reminder and a lesson.

It's not over yet!
