Hollywood legendary director

On the second day, the whole crew drove to the small town of Atdubar near Paris.

This location is the place with the most outbound time in the movie.

In the car, Ryan said to everyone: "I have already contacted the town’s sheriff and mayor on the phone, and they also welcome our crew to come here to shoot. In addition, the town has also booked a hostel. Don’t worry about accommodation."

"Well, very careful." Lyman nodded and smiled at him.

In recent years, Ryan has followed the crew to make films, but he has become more and more familiar with the work of producing.

Afterwards, everyone drove to the hostel to stay, put their luggage, and after a short rest, they split up.

Thomas and Evan Braden, together with the camera crew and the set crew, began to arrange the shooting locations; Ryan was responsible for contacting the crew for food, recruiting extras from the town, and so on.

Everyone is full of enthusiasm, and Lehmann still has nothing to say about the film crew under his opponent.

In addition to the basic salary that is far above the average in the industry, if the box office is good after the movie is released, he is also willing to take out some of the proceeds as a bonus and distribute it to all employees of the crew as a bonus.

The bigger the box office, the more generous the red envelope of this bonus.

To save others by oneself, everyone's interests are guaranteed, which is the most practical and effective thing to maintain the centripetal force of the crew.

After the personal affairs were properly assigned, Lehman went to visit the town mayor with Kim Carrey, Jean Reynolds, and Hilary Swank.

For these crews who come here for filming, it is always right to have a good relationship with the government.

The small town is not a very popular location. It is rare to encounter a crew in a year.

Not to mention the fact that Lehman, an internationally renowned director leading the crew, is undoubtedly a good thing for the future development of the town.

Therefore, the mayor of the small town met with Lehmann and his party with a warm attitude.

The mayor's name is Prey Josephman, who is about fifty years old, has a chubby, swollen belly, is not tall, and has small eyes.

It looks very kind and very pleasing.

He enthusiastically held Jean-Renault's hand, looked at him with small eyes and said, "Oh, are you here to film too. It's so good, so good."

The more famous the crew, the more he likes it.

"Mr. Mayor is polite, let me introduce you," Jean-Renault took the initiative to act as a middleman. "This is the director of the crew, Mr. Lyman. This is the starring Mr. Kim Carey, from Hollywood. This is Miss Hilary Swank, the female number one in the play."

Several of Lehmann’s films have been screened in France, and Mayor Pry is more enthusiastic about him. He grasped his hand and said: "Hello, hello, welcome to Atdubar Town."

After the exchange of greetings, Pre-Josserman personally led the four around the town and introduced the scenery.

In the evening, the guy offered to invite the whole crew to dinner again, saying that it was an expression of the town’s attitude that he could come to him if anything happened during the filming.

The economic level of the small town is not high, and the people who looked at the scene at the beginning also took a fancy to this point, which is in line with the setting in the movie, and finally chose this place.

Because of this, the leadership of the town still hopes to create a way for the town to make money.

If they can really make a name for themselves through the film and attract more crews to this filming, it will not be in vain for their enthusiasm for their dedication and support.

A banquet, eat late.

It wasn't until Mayor Pray couldn't hold it anymore, drunk-eyed, and slept on the wine table before announcing the end.

Lehman almost couldn't do it, and he sighed with relief: "Finally, I'm overwhelmed. These people are too hard."

Ryan next to him stood up and said, "Call them."

Lehman cleared the table and asked Kim Carey and Jean Renault: "How are you?"

Jin-Kerry smiled: "It's okay, I haven't had a few drinks. Their target is you."

Jean-Renault was miserable. He was a bit too much and his face flushed.This boy has a righteous personality and is a well-known actor in France. Of course the people in the town did not let him go.In addition, the people are honest, who do not refuse to come, and drink while sullen, but it is a hard fight.

Thomas on the side also said: "They still want to do something."

"The economic environment is not good. How can life be better if you rely solely on government subsidies." Lehman glanced at Mr. Mayor who was still asleep, "I just followed around for a while. There is no economic source in the town, and no factory. In a few, the employment pressure is high, and all the young people ran outside."

"Isn't this normal?" Ryan murmured: "French economy has experienced negative economic growth in recent years, and the government has to bear high welfare expenditures. It would be nice to be able to maintain a personal outlook. The film industry is pretty good at the box office. The total amount has been increasing, and the market is getting bigger and bigger."

Lehman was not surprised when he heard it.

I don't know how many demonstrations broke out because of the government's reduction of welfare issues.

There is that kind of determination to let go of the burden, but what can be done?

Furthermore, he is a filmmaker, so it's fine if the movie market doesn't jump.

Moreover, as Ryan said, the pace of the rise of French cinema is very fast.

In the past few years, it has been praised by Hollywood blockbusters, and the money has been made by outsiders. But now, the market share of local film companies such as Europa and EMI is obviously increasing.

Based on last year's words, five of the top ten in the annual box office list were French, and the champion was "Bad Guy".

Even worse this year, the summer holiday market was guarded by French films for the first time.

In fact, it was also caused by blockbusters such as "Van Helsing" and "Troy", one after another.

This has made Europa Pictures’ "Violence Street" produced by Europa Pictures, and "The Spring of Cattle Class" released by EMI have achieved very good results.

Especially "The Violent Street", this is a localized improvement made by Luc Besson as the screenwriter and modeled on Hollywood commercial films. The plot is very entertaining and lacks depth. It highlights a rhythm, violence, and adrenaline surge. .

It is considered to have learned the essence of Hollywood popcorn movies, and the audience watched it very well.

In the past, love literary and artistic movies, which were often boring, dominated the mainstream. Although there are still the most such movies, there are more and more filmmakers who can see the market change and want to simply make money.

After all, people have always made money in making movies, and I have been losing money in making movies. It must be fake to say that I can't get a little thought from it.Furthermore, the literary genre is really good, and it is not unsellable.The audience also likes "The Spring of the Cow Herding Class".

Therefore, judging from the current development situation, French films still have room for improvement.

As he spoke, several of the drivers Ryan called to inform had already come, and everyone helped lift several government employees in the town into the car, and then left together.
