Hollywood legendary director

This old castle in Annecy sits on a hillside.

The name is Fischerka Castle.

The origin of the name is also simple, it is the surname of the first builder.

Don't see too many castles of this kind.

According to incomplete estimates, there are more than 10,000 castles of all kinds, large and small, in France. The more famous ones are those that can be ranked among the well-preserved castles in the world. There are dozens of seats.

And the castle, divided by the time and reason of formation, can be roughly divided into military fortresses, wineries, residences of nobles, and royal palaces.

This Fischka Castle was built by Sir Fischka who was entrusted by the Principality in the mid-18th century.

At that time, the whole of Europe was in chaos, and France was no exception, politically torn apart.

Large and small powerful feudal lords and members of the royal family are all over the French territory. No one can tell the boundaries between them, and no one can completely sort out the relationship between them.

It can be said that the construction history of medieval castles is the history of long-term disputes and separatism in France.

These buildings are the witnesses of time.

Those aristocrats who have different degrees of superiority and inferiority, in order to fight for power and gain, dynasty hegemony, covet each other and guard against each other, and while wars are frequent, at the same time, if you want to protect life safety or consolidate the territory, the best way It is "fortification".

As a result, the nobles raced to quarry the mountains, rushing day and night, and the castles rose up against the mountains.

During this period, countless manpower, money, materials, energy and time will be consumed, and the number of farmers who lost their lives is even harder to count.

But now, the overlords of the Megatron side have long been entrusted with the mud and smoke together with his broken sword and stirrups. Only the castle that has experienced the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow is telling the visitors its past glory.

"So, what kind of person is this Duke Fischka?" Lehmann asked curiously.

"A loser in the struggle."

George had already done his homework before he came.

He continued: "He was originally a direct member of the Amboise family, but he came out first in the struggle for family power, so he came here."

As mentioned earlier, Annecy is located on the border of southeastern France, on the edge of the Alps.

At that time, it was a real remote place.It can be said that the distribution is very miserable.

What kind of kingship hegemony has basically been declared missed.

Okay, so much has been introduced in the previous section, and when you get to your side, it will be straightforward.

"Because of this, this old castle is very beautifully built and well preserved. There are springs in the mountains. You can try it. By the way, there are no hotels nearby, the castle, and no one can live in it, so we The rent is a private house, and the conditions may be poor."

"It's okay, I don't care about this."

Lyman waved his hand and skipped the topic.He didn't come here for enjoyment.

At the foot of the mountain, it has been classified as a scenic spot.

The staff sent by the town government took a look at the familiar George, immediately removed the long pole, and let him go.

Now, their "Wei Ai" crew is the people who want to please the whole town.

Without him, the economic benefits brought are really high.

Regardless of the cost of renting the castle, so many members of the crew are here for food, drink, housing and transportation. It is not the residents of the town who benefited.

Taking a walk in, the trees grew more and more dense and lush.

The open path in the forest is covered with leaves, and there are bluestone steps on both sides, one by one, leading to a high place.

Looking up, Bai Yun seemed to be stationed on the top of the mountain.And halfway up the mountain, there is an ancient castle manor.

"Actually, filming here is an advantage. The scenery is good." George thumped his waist tiredly.

Damn, this car won't get up at all.

I didn't know how much effort it took to get the shooting equipment.

Moreover, the power was cut off, and the mosquitoes in the mountains were still poisonous...

Stop talking, it's all tears.

......

No matter where the scenery is beautiful, after a long time, you will feel tired.Not to mention that the conditions in this mountain are really not so good, only three or four days later, Lehman has no time to pay attention to these.

The crew is still busy with the preliminary preparations. Ryan ran to George from time to time to discuss funding control and wrangling with third-party guarantee agencies, or pull Lehman to buy shooting props.

Sometimes, he had to communicate with Heath Ledger about the schedule-his role in "Brokeback Mountain" has not yet been settled.To make a complaint, Li's filming is really slow, not that he is slow, but that this guy is always coming up with novel ideas, and then he wants to test it.In this way, the whole crew has to play with him.However, the producer, Focus Films, knows him a little bit, and hasn't imposed any restrictions on this aspect at all. Even the shooting budget is fully allocated, and its purpose is next year's Oscar.

Of course, if he could catch up, Lyman would naturally hope to give him the actor inside, but now it seems a bit frustrated.

But this is not the most important thing, wait until the preparation work of the crew is completed.

Lehman has entered a busy state again. The director's job is like this. When he is busy, he can't wait to split himself in half to deal with it. When he is free, he is always busy.

While working for the crew, he did not forget to contact and urge people from Europa Pictures.

Just the day before yesterday, "Bad Guy", which had been screened for nearly two months, was finally released-most of the overseas regions have already withdrawn from the market.

The final box office remained at more than 723 million US dollars.

To be honest, this result is somewhat unexpected, because generally speaking, the box office in overseas regions is usually slightly higher than that in North America, and the profit earned may not be higher than that in North America—— Distribution in overseas regions is usually more complicated than in North America, and a lot of money is taken away by local agents and theater chains.

But who caused France to explode? Relying on Lehmann’s popularity and reputation, the French people’s support for his film is not small, and they directly won more than 90 million US dollars-don’t underestimate this achievement, you have to know "Bad Guys" "The box office in the UK is only more than 30 million US dollars.By comparison, you can find that the French people really like him.There is no way to support my own director, but it is a slogan often used by Europa Pictures.

There is also to negotiate with Thomas to determine the filming style and imaging screen of this film.

After all, this is a love movie—a pure love movie is also a love movie.

Unlike the previous movies, this time, he hopes that the picture can present a warm tone, beautiful, and the light can also make the character's facial features more full and three-dimensional...
