Hollywood legendary director

"Hungry, let's have dinner together, Sophia."

When Lehman finished speaking, Eva yelled, she just forgot about it.

And if there are outsiders, she has to show her a hand--then she ran into the kitchen and ordered the chef to make one more serving of food.Because Eva can only make salads, toasts with jam or omelette sandwiches, besides that, her cooking skills still need a lot of time to learn.

Taking advantage of this effort, Lehman asked Sophia: "How did you choose such a subject. Sorry, but just curious. I have watched "Lost in Tokyo" several times. You should like to tell stories with strong personal emotions and emotions. , You like to create a sense of loneliness and want to vent that kind of loneliness. So I don’t think Princess Mary’s story would be appropriate."

Sophia noticed the gaze cast by Lehmann and thought about it for a while, as if chatting with a very familiar friend, with a calm tone, "In June last year, I read two biographical novels, one is Antonia-Fu Reese's "Marie Antoinette: Journey", one is Stephen Zweig's "The Decapitated Queen: The Double Tragedy of Revolution and Marriage". After reading it, he suddenly asked the 18th century Bourbon Queen Mary, the last witness of, has a strong desire for understanding."

"Later I looked through a lot of information, which prompted me to want to make a biographical film of her. The woman who lived an extremely luxurious life in Versailles but has always been insecure..."

Sophia said, Lehman listened carefully.

He actually knew Sofia's directorial style, and he did watch "Lost in Tokyo" several times.

As a female director, the films directed by Sophia always reveal very delicate emotions, inexplicable loneliness and confusion. The film is not based on rigorous plots, but more like a feminine personality full of personal emotions. Broken thoughts.

Therefore, Sophia is not a director who can express the theme through the story, but will express the narrative purpose through the emotional catharsis of the character in a prescribed situation.

With a small amount of dialogue and a large number of no-dialog close-up scenes, Sophia is like a bystander outside of the matter, thinking about the emotions of the characters. She does not like too much modified audiovisual language shooting. On the contrary, Nolan's movies are always for people. Complex and sufficient lens audiovisual effects.

Perhaps it was her failure experience as an actor that laid the foundation for her unique film style. Sophia's works always have a faint reflection and hesitation, so Lyman felt that this theme was not suitable for her.

Biographical novels require too much documentary and restoration, and that kind of realism is destined to not inject too strong personal style into the film.

After all, Queen Mary is a real character, she is not a fictional character.

Furthermore, the background of the script is on the eve of the French Revolution. With the heaviness of history, Lehmann does not think Sophia can play well.

As Spielberg said when he finished "Schindler's List", it took him ten years to make himself able to master such themes. The project was conceived in 1983, but it was not included until 1993. Big screen.

In the beginning, Spielberg wanted to direct Roman Polanski and Sidney Pollack, but both were delayed for various reasons.

This is a type of subject that needs life experience, and Lyman has never dared to touch it.

If you haven't lived long enough, and haven't seen many things, you will easily become paranoid. If you are not careful, you will become a nondescript work like "Nanjing, Nanjing".

Therefore, there is indeed a reason why this "Queen of Peerless Beauty" is not well-known, and even became a very general film in the works of director Sophia. There are too many shortcomings in terms of style or elsewhere. Place.

Perhaps, she won't be able to see further until she is 50 years old to touch on such subjects.

The more they talked, the more speculative.

Sophia actually wanted to shoot such a subject on a whim.

After the script was written, it was picked up by Korsten Dunst-without the Spider-Man trilogy, the actress quickly left the public eye for a reason.

But after chatting with Lyman for a while, I also found that I might not be ready to really talk about what happened to the legendary woman Queen Mary.

After the enthusiasm, there is no motivation at all.

Sophia has forgotten the purpose of his coming today, and only feels that it is good to have a friend who can understand him.

After dinner, it was late, and Sophia was about to leave.

Lehman suddenly said: "The script of "The Peerless Queen" must not be taken over with your current experience."-Haha, the upright training feels really good. No wonder the previous life was always taught.

That's how it is said, but in fact, Sophia has a very good mentality, and she won't shoot if she doesn't take pictures. Anyway, she shrinks in her heart.

But if there is no cooperation, the friendship with the Coppola family cannot be deepened. This investment must definitely help, but it can’t be "Peerless Porn Queen"-an investment of 40 million, it is estimated that only a fraction of it will be recovered. This movie It really didn't take a good shot, it was terrible.

Although Lehmann doesn't mind losing a little money for his works, he can at least gain a good reputation.

"The Peerless Queen" was filmed, even if it was not recognized by the audience, and the reputation in the industry was not much.

Therefore, Lehman wanted to find a suitable script for Sofia to direct, which can be regarded as an explanation for the Coppola family. Otherwise, they trust you to find it, but they didn’t help at all, and it felt like they didn’t value Coppola’s release. It’s not good for people to misunderstand their kindness.

Sophia raised her head and said curiously: "How do you know I would be willing?"

"I guess, I think you would like it. Maybe, wait until you have read the script before you decide?" Lyman frowned, so he made it.

"Haha." Sophia was amused, feeling that Lyman was humorous while being serious.

"Okay, wait until I finish reading the script, I will go back first."

After Sophia left, Lyman took a shower and was about to make love to Eva-she could leave the group after finishing the filming of "Casino Royale" the day before yesterday.

Just about to prepare foreplay, a little pink atmosphere, suddenly someone interrupted.

the phone is ringing.

Lehman was a little depressed. Amidst Eva's sneered laughter, a weird voice answered the phone and said, "It's all so late, can't you find me during the day?"

On the other end of the phone, it was Luc Besson, who funny explained that he had forgotten the jet lag.

Now that the identities of the two are close, Luc Besson is no longer so serious in ordering and instructing.

After a bit of a joke, I still talked about business.

He said: "This year's Cannes Film Festival, on behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to serve as a judge."

Lehman became more depressed, "I plan to participate in the main competition unit this year. This is a player and a referee. Forget it, I will be scolded. I don't want to be questioned."

Nima, this kind of offending is the only way to get rid of labor and capital. No matter how the award is judged, people will definitely dissatisfied. Just look at how many jokes are made at the annual awards or are cast aside by the audience or the media.

——The selection of this stuff, as long as it is made by humans, will be mixed with many other off-site factors. After all, humans are all animals living in a social environment. How can it be completely fair?It's admirable to be able to have less crooked buttocks.

Moreover, he also intends to let Alessandro's "Tong Tian Pagoda" and his "Old Nowhere" participate in the election for qualifications, fame, and reputation. If you don't want to be questioned, it is better to keep a low profile.

Lehmann's refusal made Luc Besson depressed again.

Some old people ask him for help, so why can't they just be perfunctory.

Luc Besson persuaded: "The Cannes Film Festival is the glory of all our French filmmakers. You are also an international flag for French directors. How can you not help your own film festival to increase its reputation?"

At any rate, Eva also leaned over to listen to a little bit of content and said excitedly: "This is a big face. Not only is it bright, but it can also get benefits. Don't you agree?"

Lehmann pushed Eva away, you only saw the good, but how could you not see the bad.

If the judges are so good, the Cannes Film Festival will change the lineup every year, and will they be invited?

Is this clearly a wicked person?

Lehman said again: "I still have a lot of things to deal with. I can't squeeze out the time, which is really inconvenient."

Luc Besson continued to tempt him: "Do you know how many works have been selected this year? That is a crowd of film seniors and rookie directors. At that time, many filmmakers from various countries will come to join us. Don't you have to get some Will the film source be released in North America? Don’t you come to see and select for yourself? You have also opened a distribution company, don’t you want to take this opportunity to hang out with you? Being a judge, I don’t know how many people will be willing to accept your love."
