Hollywood legendary director

When making a movie and letting Lehman evaluate it, the hardest part is the preliminary preparation.

To do that, everything must be prepared, which is difficult and troublesome.

But if you don't get it right, the subsequent shooting will not go smoothly.

It is equivalent to fixing the foundation before building a house, so that the subsequent work can provide a guarantee.

After spending about a week in Fisheka Castle, I finally decided on the lens imaging style of the movie.

Ryan and Thomas stared at the rest of the scenes, making props, and choosing appropriate crew costumes.

Now Lyman can be considered freed, ready to choose the actors.

Isn't it about to start filming? It's not a problem if the actors are not complete.

By the way, after a few phone calls with Heath Ledger, he was hesitant and unclear about it. He didn’t know when the schedule would be available. Ask him. He said that the shot was almost done, and there was only a finishing touch. He couldn't tell when it would end.Lehman planned to go directly to him.

......

Back at the homestay, I simply packed my luggage, took the car, transferred to the train, and rushed all the way to the airport.

The ticket has already been booked by Europa Films staff. This time, he set off alone. Eva had wanted to come, but he refused.

Running around, the schedule is so busy and troublesome, it's better to stay on the set.

......

It was rainy in the summer, and it rained suddenly in Wyoming in the United States at noon. There were no signs of dark clouds in the sky, it was "sunny rain".

On a straight road, in a Mercedes-Benz driving smoothly, Lehmann witnessed the rain.

He arrived at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday afternoon, and then found a hotel there to stay for one night. Early the next morning, he took a vehicle arranged by Paramount Pictures to come here.

"Brokeback Mountain" was filmed on a ranch in Wyoming.

By the way, this movie is also a very common novel adaptation.

The original book is a collection of short stories written by Pulitzer Prize-winning Anne Plucks.

There are altogether 11 articles, all of which are set in Wyoming. The main themes are about the hard life of the farm people in the wild, harsh, violent natural environment.

Before the article was intentionally put on the big screen, it won the 98-year Euro-Henry Short Story Award and the National Magazine Award, so it does not lack fame.

Later, it was naturally adapted by writers Larry McMurtry and Diana Osana into a script suitable for filming.

The story is a good story, but Hollywood does not lack good stories.

The natural attributes of this script indicate that there will not be too many film companies interested. After several rounds, many directors such as Gus Van Sant and Joel Smeche have refused to take over this low-cost film. In the end, the producer James Shams paid US$3 million to take over the script of the film, and it was caught by director Li Zheng.

It would be embarrassing to want to come to Li Zheng, the current situation of the director.

The 2003 "Hulk" almost killed his previous achievements.

The shooting cost is 137 million US dollars, not counting the announcement.

The release result was only US$245.3 million (total box office worldwide), which directly caused the producer Global to lose approximately US$70 million, and indirectly failed the Global Superhero launch plan.

To know that the Marvel movie copyright in Universal's hands, only "Hulk" is still well-known and has relatively good commercial adaptation value.

"Spider-Man" turned out, such a market performance, such a fan appeal, who is not eye-catching?

Not to mention Universal, 20th Century Fox's "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four", and New Line Film's "Blade Warrior" all took advantage of this craze to speed up their creative plans and successively launched them into the market.

Needless to say the former, the results of each film are quite impressive. Although "Blade Warrior" has a poor response, it can also make a little bit. Only popular comic characters such as Warner and the Hulk have messed up.

Do you think Li Zheng can be irresponsible?

The reason for taking over such a low-cost work is probably also helpless in this regard.After all, Hollywood has always been reality.

......

The filming location was on the ranch, and after the car drove to the foot of the mountain, the road behind was not easy to drive, so I did not force it to go up.Lehman found a hotel, put away his luggage and clothes, and prepared to hike up the mountain.

In fact, it's not far away. This mountain is not high. It is a big slope rather than a mountain.

About 15 minutes away, when I reached the top, I could already see the crew of Brokeback Mountain.

There are a lot of green grass around, and there are many cows and sheep grazing. It looks like a place suitable for grazing.

A few built tents were placed there, and the surrounding staff seemed to be fine and laid back.

As he approached, he saw Heath Ledger sitting on a chair, wearing a cowboy hat, dressed like a ranch man.

The one next to it is...

Oh, right, Michelle Williams, one of the leading female actors in this work.

Seeing that they are chatting together, they are probably getting better.

"Hi, Heath Ledger."

He greeted.

"Lyman." Heath Ledger turned his head and saw that Lehman, who said he was about to come and ask his address, had arrived.

"It's been a long time, how are you doing? What did you just talk about? I have been here for so long and you haven't noticed." Lyman quipped.

The two are very familiar, even if they haven't seen each other during this time, they are not strange.

"Nothing, oh, let me introduce, this is Michelle Williams."

Michelle raised her head slightly and looked at it.She is still quite curious about Lyman, but now the most curious thing is that she feels good about it when she is filming, how does Heath Ledger, who is interested in that aspect, seem familiar with him.

That is the famous French director in Hollywood.

This kind of friendship doesn't look like a simple partnership.

"Director Lyman, hello. Everyone likes to call me Michelle, and you can call me like that."

"Well, hello, Michelle." Lyman waved his hand and said politely.

"Where's the director? Where did Li Zheng go?" he asked curiously.Of course, the crew who came to the house had to say hello to the host.Besides, he still admires this literary director. He has seen many of his works several times in his previous life.

"The director has something to go out."

Sure enough, when he first came, he felt that there was no more shooting here.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

"It's not so good. The final shot could have been completed yesterday, but the director was not satisfied with the way the scene was handled, so it has been delayed until now."

Heath Ledger spread his hand.
