Hollywood legendary director

The script idea that Lehman conceived was naturally the Korean movie "Travel to Busan" from later generations.

This film is a 2016 work, and on the first day of its release, it broke the record for the highest number of movie viewers in South Korea with more than 870,000 movie viewers.

In the end, a total of 11.56 million passengers and 93.1 billion won in the market became South Korea's 2016 annual record holder for the highest box office.

In addition, the screenings in other countries and regions are also good.

On Hong Kong Island, the total box office revenue was more than 66.3 million Hong Kong dollars, making it the 16th most-grossing film in film history and the number one Asian movie box office.

In Bay Province, the total box office revenue was NT$340 million, and it was also the most popular Korean film in film history.

The most outstanding feature of "Travel to Busan" is the design of a collapsed, pre-apocalyptic social environment that focuses on the excavation of human nature.

The reason why people are human is because of sheltering the weak, helping others of the same kind, trust in strangers, and even disappointment in the dark side of mankind, and the ugliness of some people in the face of danger, all of which constitute this movie The portrayal of human beings.

The pungent black irony is the biggest feature of this work: the government's incompetence.Obviously, he chose to conceal the truth of the facts so as not to cause social panic, but it was precisely this concealment that caused the sudden outbreak of accidents and the instantaneous paralysis of the transportation system, which eventually led to a series of tragedies.

Social issues and ugliness of human nature are put together on the table, and the subtle meaning presented is the most different point between "Travel in Busan" and other zombie movies.

The commendable setting of the closed space of the train, even more restricts the movement of the zombies, and also brings a kind of sublimation to the conflict between the survivors and the zombies in the movie. This kind of plot will undoubtedly make the story even more. Being authentic and credible also makes the sudden conflict of the drama more reasonable.

The setting of the countermeasures is also the same, because it is on the train, everyone does not have firepower weapons, otherwise it happened in other places, maybe many Americans took out firepower guns from the ammunition warehouse at home, and suddenly they fell the zombies.

Such a solid basic setting will bring a better look and feel to the direction of the story, and also render the atmosphere for the subsequent plot.

Of course, so many benefits have now become "New York Tour".

I don't know if the Koreans will be able to shoot similar photos in the future, but what is wrong with Lehman.

Anyway, after discussing with Eric Newman, the design of these plots became the idea of ​​"New York Trip".

In the end, the protagonist sacrificed his life and jumped into the car with the zombies, was able to save the lives of his daughter and a pregnant woman, and finally reached the encirclement of the army.

"Will it be better if the male protagonist does not die? Is it really good to abuse like this?" Eric Newman couldn't help asking after taking down the plot.

"This makes the theme even more shocking, understand. He didn't die in vain, but for his daughter. Would the audience blame it for this?"

Eric wanted to say yes, but after another thought, there were not many good endings in the movies he made, and it was commonplace for the protagonist to be abused.For example, Paul of "Buried Alive" died directly underground, and no one of the protagonist group of "Furious" survived. By the time of "Bad Guy", several of them died. The protagonist was completely blackened and became the last person he wanted to live. Isn't it a torture?

Since there is a precedent, Lehman is the father of the gold master, he is not good to say anything, just abuse it, anyway, his task is to fill in the plot and dialogue dialogue needed for the story as much as possible. How to shoot, that is the director Thing.

As for, the guide on the side is still immersed in the plot of the idea, thinking about what kind of lens to use.

This guy is also lucky.

In the previous life, Zach Schneider successfully tested the waters with "Dawn of the Living Dead" and took his first step outside. To be honest, the film did not give full play to his talents, so it was quite satisfactory.

This life is hard to say.Anyway, Lyman intends to dig out his use of color.This guy may not be the most storytelling director in Hollywood, but it will definitely be the director with the most style of film.

"New York Tour" is naturally suitable for the play of the lead.The first film is so appropriate, the image style of this product must be sharper and richer than the previous life.

Thinking of this, Lehman couldn't help but look forward to it.

Two days later, Dior’s commercial was officially completed.

In addition to the rest of the payment into Lehman's account, Eva Green also hurried to the set of "The Day After Tomorrow".

Lehman stayed in the company, and besides dealing with some daily affairs, he was to confirm the project with Zach Schneider.

In terms of the script, Eric Newman is still writing, but the theme of the movie is very clear. Zha Dao is the first debut in his life. He is very energetic. After knowing that the investment is fine, he took the lead in preparing the preliminary work of the movie.

However, for a bit of a gimmick, Lehman also bought the copyright of "Dawn of the Living Dead" and let the copyright owner Abraham participate in the project-no way, the condition for this guy willing to sell the copyright is to get "New York Trip" Part of the investment share.

Moreover, he had already discussed with Zach Schneider and Eric Newman and joined Firefly Pictures directly in the name of the studio.

At this point, the approximate shooting budget for the entire project is 70 million US dollars, of which 10 million are invested by their studios, and only the income is distributed, not participating in the subsequent operation of copyright.

Also, in the name of the company, Lehman invested 5 million in a studio established by a few people, accounting for 51% of the shares.

In this way, everyone is happy, and the "New York Tour" is officially approved.

For such a debut work, Zach Schneider has never thought about the investment that can attract so much investment, and when he is happy, it is more pressure.

Basically, every project in the film preparation is personally controlled, and I can’t wait for everything to be done without making any mistakes.

Equipment, venues, labor, props, costumes, films, and actors.

Of course, don’t watch a lot of 70 million dollars, but for such big scenes and movies that require special effects and a large number of group performances, there is not much wasted space.

Don't even think about the first-line stars. With so many main creators, it is impossible to spend all money on one or two main actors in group portrait movies.

Originally, Zach Schneider wanted to invite Lehman to be the producer of "New York Trip" and gave him the right to cast casting, but Lehman refused on the grounds of busy company affairs.

Just say that being a deputy producer is almost the same, so let the chief producer leave it to Abraham.Well, this guy was originally a producer, and he also did scene work.
