Hollywood legendary director

Edmund's admiration is justified.

The idea of ​​"Untouchable" is really clever.

Perhaps non-French filmmakers will only say that the film is well made and excellent enough, but if you look at the cultural background, you can discover the true ambition of the film.

Because the Deris in the film, that is, the poor black ghost, is an Algerian.

If you don't pay special attention, this status is actually nothing.

But you must know that the history of grievances between Algeria and France is quite complicated. Once this issue is not addressed, it is very easy to cause audience resistance.

In other words, under the shell of the light comedy "Untouchable" is a film that transcends race, country, skin color, and even looks at history and hatred from an objective standpoint. Emotional techniques are presented.

It has always been highly rated and even ranked high in the history of French cinema for a reason.

It is undoubtedly a kind of wisdom to be able to express smartly with many factors that are not easy to tell.

In 1830, France seized the richest part of the Mediterranean coast of Algeria on diplomatic grounds;

In 1905, France basically completed its occupation of this area of ​​Algeria;

During the Second World War, Algeria supported the Allied Powers and supported the French Free Armed Forces;

At the end of World War II, Algeria's independent thoughts were strong, and the Charles de Gaulle government launched the army to suppress;

In 1962, Algeria declared independence.

Therefore, the relationship between these two places should be that France spent 75 years colonizing Algeria and then failed.

The tragic level in the middle is the hatred between countries. Until now, Algeria likes to build three-leaf towers—their architectural symbols to tell that period of history.

However, if this is the case, the two are just hostile to each other.

But the situation is actually more complicated.

In later generations, many people lamented how the French army raised so many blacks?And suspect it is a form of mercenary.

But in fact, most of those black people are Algerians or descendants of mixed blood with France.

Because of that period of colonial history, the degree of integration between the two countries is very high.

In France today, more than 70% of the mixed-race population are all Algerian blacks and descendants. Many of them were forced to stay in France during the colonial period, and then they have taken root.

Like Zidane, the pride of Marseilles, he is also Algerian.

Therefore, the relationship between Algeria and France is very complicated, both hate and recognized, and as long as immigrate, the first choice will always be France.

At the same time, how do the French generally view the Albanians?

Generally speaking, most French people feel that it is an overseas territory and then lost, as a shame. They also set Algeria's Independence Day as a national crisis day, which is enough to show the people and the government.

This kind of master's thinking makes many French people subconsciously look down on the Albanian.

Their treatment and welfare are very different from those of local residents, not to mention social respect, there is nothing like that.

Therefore, Edmund felt that Lyman was very thoughtful.

Equality has been said for so many years, is society truly equal?

No, but it does not prevent Lyman from speaking like this as a filmmaker. He still uses the most subtle forms of noble and black helpers to advocate and rationalize respect.

And still use the lighthearted plot of shaking the baggage, smile and let people accept similar preaching.

This is difficult, and no wonder it takes a lot of time to conceive and perfect.

——Well, Edmund thought more and more.

But this is just a white lie.

After so many days of preparation, Lehman also gradually sorted out the filming ideas for this film, and chatted with Edmund, there are many directions to talk about.

For example, there are some French jokes, "You can't eat chocolate without arms."-It means that there is no reward for willfulness, and it is usually the words used by parents to teach their children.

In the preliminary plan, Lehman intends to officially start after participating in the opening ceremony, deciding on the awards, and completing his promise to the organizing committee.

The film’s budget is not high, only 12 million U.S. dollars-the original version only cost 9.5 million Euros, which roughly translates to 1.034 dollars.

After all, the entire plot scene is very simple, with three main actors, the rich Philip, the poor Derris, and Philip's housekeeper.

And the butler's scenes are concentrated when the two leading actors are present, and they are shots of unified scenes.

Hearing Lehman's plan, Edmund curiously asked: "Who do you intend to play the rich man."

"François Cruze, do you know him?" Lyman asked with a smile.

Edmund thought about it seriously, and replied, "The one who collaborated with Isabelle Adjani in "A Lifeless Summer"? I seem to have heard of it. Can he really do it? I think this role has a lot of room for performance. Yes, most people can't hold up the show."

Lehman didn’t speak, and handed over a videotape, “This is the work “The Apprentice” he participated in at the age of 41 in 1996. The image in it fits Philip’s setting. As for acting, he has repeatedly nominated the Caesar Award for Best Male. To match, to play the leading role, is a challenge for him, but it is also the best performing stage. I think he can do it."

Edmund said nothing, and took the videotape and said: "Unfortunately I don't know any Algerian actor, otherwise I can recommend one to you. As for this one, I will help you contact."

"Thank you......"

Edmund interrupted: "I can help a little bit. I still hope you can make more similar movies. In recent years, we have rarely had any good results. The film market is getting lower and lower. It's all washed away by movies from other countries. This is not a good thing."

French films have become increasingly dismal internationally, and people in the entire industry are affected. As a member of the Cannes Film Festival organizing committee, Edmund is of course worried.

Perhaps this is why he is in such a hurry.

What's more, what substantial benefits can he get when "Untouchable" is filmed?

Not Gongxin, he didn't need to help at all.

After leaving Edmund, Lehman continued to perform his own business, filming and socializing every day, and in North America, "Breaking Bad" also officially began its trial broadcast on Fox TV.

......

May 13th, Saturday.

In the morning, in the old town of New Mexico, "Breaking Bad" is still busy filming. Although the TV series will be premiered tonight, it is still necessary for them to continue filming the following plot materials to avoid subsequent failures. Good gear.

Brian wears his iconic beard, wears a big coat, and prepares new and refined du products with his upper body exposed. Of course, he uses candy props when shooting, but it looks like it does not affect the actors in any way.

After shooting a set of shots and finishing today's scene, director Mark Tetotu ordered the assembly the next day, and then disbanded the crew.

In a blink of an eye, the people dispersed, and it seemed that their minds were disturbed.

Mark smiled, turned around and went back to the hotel, turned on the TV and locked the Fox Channel.

For his first official drama, he is also inexplicable.

......

Since the Fox Television Network broke through the three established television networks in the 1990s, it has also fixed a large number of audiences, the kind of die-hard fans who just take a second look.

After that, Firefly relied on "Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead" to lay a foundation for a large number of drama fans. Although there is no saying that HBO will produce violent boutiques, it is more or less convinced of the strength of this producer.

Even if there are some controversies and doubts before, most people still watch the drama before watching the TV.

Do you also pay attention to a rational method?

Fox TV also attached great importance to it and directly gave it to the prime time on Saturday, which is broadcast at 8 o'clock.

You know, this is the first-class window resource. Generally, new dramas will be broadcasted when they find time on Friday, but it is like this will be specially vacated.

It can be seen that Fox also recognizes Firefly as a signboard in the field of TV dramas, and it is worthy of Freeman's thoughts on boutique production.

"It's going to start, come soon."

A young man shouted in a residential building in a community in Los Angeles.

In the room, a girl ran out and leaned against the young man.

Oh, couple viewers.

These two can also be regarded as fans of the Firefly TV series. They usually watch HBO. This time, specifically for the new drama, Baba locked the Fox Channel.
