Chapter 585 "The Old Has Nowhere to Be" (seeking subscription, tickets)

Eva's eyes seemed to be attracted inexplicably.

These layouts are messy in front of them, as if the owner thinks that it will be a randomly posted manuscript that makes people interested in following it.

Then, she stood and watched it all the time.Read it completely.

According to Eva's understanding, Lehman wanted to mix many contradictions into one story.Ambitious.

The top-level mine owners are unethical (operating illegally and want to hire murderers); the workers who live by the mines live like lambs raised in captivity, and they make great efforts to make ends meet, but they don’t do anything in pain. Know, so when a lucky person appears, the situation of boiling water is revealed;

The lawyer who came here wanted to speak up for the weak, but was bought by the mine owner and willing to conceal it; the sheriff was lawful and wanted to investigate the crime; the killer chased him and helped the employer to smooth things out, which represented his own evil.

And throughout the story, the relationship between good and evil has been changing.

It can be said that the complexity and conception of the plot are immediately up.It's a good script.

In terms of style, it is a B-level crime drama, where several characters are independent and related to each other.

After all, Lehman's reference target is mainly derived from the two crime masterpieces "Burst Silent" and "Old Nowhere".

The amazing feeling that is refreshing after watching it is the characteristic of both of them. After Lyman mixed it up, he incorporated it into his own story frame.

Of course, in this way, it feels like a very small subject.

At least, that's how Ryan sees it.

He knows very well that his friend is very talented, and he always has all kinds of inspirations in his mind, but he can clearly make popular popular movies like "The Mist", "Bad Guy", and "Water Monster in the Lake". But he always chooses the subject matter according to his preferences.

Obviously, he likes freshness and does not want to shoot repetitive ones.

Ryan, who had only finished the preparations for the TV series some time ago, just came to rest and was caught by Lehmann as a screenwriter.

Although the company has a screenwriting department, Lehman feels that only Ryan can fully understand his own ideas, give the most suitable story background and character dialogue, and add pen and ink to the plot to promote the plot, which is more fluid.

Lehman sorted out his thoughts and said: "Similar to "Bad Guy", I want to use a non-linear narrative mode to show all the characters uniformly, so as to have enough expressive power and leave a certain impression on the audience. ."

Taking out the setting outline and role template, Lehman spent more than half an hour talking in detail, explaining in detail the creative ideas and the script version he wanted to see.

Ryan could see that Lehman liked this story very much, and he had a sense of accomplishment, otherwise he wouldn't be so passionate.

The passion came to him at night, and didn't plan to go back.To stay overnight here.

Ryan doesn't mind spending the night or anything. Anyway, this place is the same property he bought in Beverly Hills like Lehman. The two's homes are not far away, and Thomas usually lives here when he has nothing to do.

It's just that Lehmann just rang the doorbell and looked like a storm. People who didn't know thought he was rushed to take refuge here by Eva's domestic violence.

Moreover, this script is not easy to write at first.

There are many roles, and if you want to be brilliant, you must test coordination.

Although Lehman said that it is simple, what non-linear narrative interspersed to explain the role, the story must be logical, not to lose the priority.

But Nima, group dramas are the most prone to unbalanced dramas, and both sides are not pleased.

Ryan really feels whether Lyman feels that he is free, and he can't see that he is going to spend a pleasant and relaxing vacation, and specifically find something difficult for him to do.

It's pretty simple, don't be too challenging.

Of course, "Old Nowhere" is the most satisfying work of the Coen brothers, and the gloominess of "Burst Silent", the sublimation of the texture of director Qi from "Blood Labyrinth" is the masterpiece of their respective directorial careers. Lehman wants to integrate into My own style is also difficult.

But filming is not challenging. It is purely to make money, which is so uncomfortable.

If that's the case, always play with commercial elements, shoot what is popular, and blindly follow the trend, Lehman can't do it by asking himself.

Occasionally, I also need "willful" self-regulation to satisfy myself.

This work is just like that.

Then, Ryan felt sore teeth inexplicably.

However, he has become accustomed to following Lehman's will and working with him on project scripts.

For many years, Ryan has always been able to finish as meticulously as possible, no matter how he complained about it or how worried his hair would fall.

In this, he also has a sense of accomplishment.

The feeling of being liked by the audience and appreciated by fans is not bad at all.

In the bones, who didn't come up with the "little show".

It's just that, compared to actors, directors and screenwriters are more like personal behind-the-scenes appreciation, the kind of aftertaste at midnight.

Lehman said, coughing a few times and his throat became dry.

"Why, do you want to drink water?"

The train of thought was interrupted, Ryan took a cup and poured a glass of water while sorting out the results and paying attention to the meaning of the script.

Lehman drank it, and once again began to talk about sex, "Go, go to the study and talk slowly."

I pulled Ryan over, and walked to the study with interest.

How do you feel like it is your home.Ryan wanted to complain again.

Oh my god, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

......

The temperature difference between day and night in Los Angeles in early December is not small, and the clothes are also slightly chilly.

However, it is always better than the temperature in many areas, and it has not been said that it can freeze like a dog.

It never makes people too crazy.

In the study, dizzy yellow light shined.

Lyman and Ryan are gradually sketching out the nuances of the script in this early morning hour.

Sometimes when I get tired, I just eat some cakes, mix with hot coffee and continue to beat the dried-up inspiration, and dig out all kinds of mistakes or uninteresting scene arrangements.

For an unknown period of time, Lyman looked at the preliminary list of character dialogues, analyzed various lines corresponding to the character's personality, and determined that he was in line with the character setting, before leaning heavily on the back of the chair.

It's like a feeling of weakness after passion, very tired.

"When is it?" Lehman asked suddenly.

Ryan was still finishing the final version, and without raising his head, he replied casually: "It's always daylight. What do you want to do?"

Although there is still some time before dawn, Lehman wants to tell Thomas first to help him contact the audition schedule at caa.

According to the previous "big studio era," artists were signed at the studio and called at will.

But now, there is an extra humane brokerage business that is not very friendly to the studio. Not only do actors need to arrange schedules, but the behind-the-scenes team and even the director have their own things to do. Without first notification, the manpower needed may not be Can make it.

The so-called fighting for the interests of artists and protecting their rights has also become another giant in Hollywood.

The cost of production has risen sharply. In the past, how can an actor participate in the box office share?It's all about paying some money to finish the filming, and there is no follow-up at all.

Brokerage companies such as caa seem to rely on the film and television projects of the studios to survive and promote star actors, but in fact they have long since become independent entities, no different from the detached status of theater chains and distribution.

It is indispensable for the studio anyway.

The original "Paramount Act" seemed to cut a monopolistic group, but in fact it released more interests. However, Hollywood did rely on this rule to get onto the system and speak out all over the world.

As for Lehmann, he was placed within this kind of rules, and he was not interested in breaking the rules. After all, Caa was of great help to him.

If there is no caa, how can he have the energy to deal with all kinds of trivial matters?

Thomas lives in a high-end apartment near Santa Monica. The price is very expensive, but for the salary he now earns from several customers, whether it is Eva or Lehman, he can completely afford it.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the phone rang.

Thomas sat up abruptly from the bed, with no shoes on, stepped on the ground barefoot, and answered the phone.

For the director who gave him his current status, Thomas did not dare to slack off.

Sure enough, the other party ordered another task.

He asked him to make a tabular statistics of all types of Hollywood actors, except for the first-line, especially focusing on good acting skills. Of course, the budget of "Old Nowhere" should not be too high. Lehman had the desire to shoot and did not want to make a lot of money. But it doesn't always mean that you will lose money.

The niche theme also has the charm of the niche theme.
