Hollywood legendary director

The story background of "Stranger Things" is not complicated, and it is very common.

At a larger scale, let the little heroes save the world, and at a smaller scale, let’s resist the invasion of monsters.

As for the U.S. government, of course, it has become a back-up man. Anything involved can be pushed to them. Who makes the American people very acceptable to similar topics?

You have to say that the monsters were not drawn by the government. They are not happy yet.

Following Lehman's explanation and some key words that need to be revolved in script creation, the screenwriters in the conference room soon had a clearer understanding of the background concept of the new drama and the direction of plot development.

As for the role, it is a group of children who defeated the demon kings of the inner world.

The one with a slightly better setting is 11, a girl whose mind and perception have been developed.

After talking about the background of the story and the role settings, a screenwriter sitting below and listening asked: "Are we going to make a TV series similar to "X-Files"?"

"No," Lehman explained, "to be simpler and faster, one episode has to go one step further."

"So... will the mature audience really like it?" This person wanted to be clichéd, but after thinking about it, he changed his words.

"Raun, instead, I think the audience will accept it. Is it not easy to fail if the setting has been tested by the market." Another screenwriter gave a different opinion.

"But it's hard to be brilliant."

"If the plot advances too fast, will the conflict in the drama be reduced. Will the audience jump to the next stage before they can enter?"

"Children are the protagonist, will they appeal to mainstream audiences?"

"..."

Listening to the discussion from everyone below, Lehman coughed and interrupted: "Don't worry, in fact, the solution that is compact and not easy to immerse can be solved narratively. Lines, interspersed, and transitions can be interlaced in sections. Advance the plot, at least have a small climax in each episode, or lay the groundwork for the future to increase the attraction of watching the movie."

Runier also asked: "Will this filming seem chaotic and you can't find the main and secondary?"

In the plot line, the most feared is the fragmentation of the story, and the audience's viewing experience is directly lowered.

"This is what you need to pay attention to. How to express the plot in sections, without departing from the main line, one by one isolated clues and foreshadowing, at a certain stage, it can form an interesting story that seems to be scattered but actually interrelated."

Well, this is indeed their job.

When Lehmann finished speaking, no one raised any concerns.

Anyway, as long as they can write a complete and orderly script in accordance with this idea, it is enough. Whether the effect can be achieved, it depends on the director.

Moreover, the background and role arrangements are so detailed, just filling in the content. If so many people write and cannot satisfy Lehman, it means that they are not suitable for this business.

After some detailed discussions, Lehman finally encouraged: "Well, you have three or four months to gradually improve it, and I hope it can be finalized by mid-February at the latest. If there is nothing else, , Then the meeting will be adjourned, and you will arrange for someone to write and write separately. I only look at the results."

After speaking, Lyman left.

Back at the office, Lehman packed some materials into the folder and put it in the file bag.

Checking the time, he told Metz again that he would go to the caa headquarters and let her inform in advance.

The script is being written, and candidates for actors and directors also need to be screened in advance.

In terms of directors, apart from Nolan, few in the company are good at science fiction, and Nolan obviously has no time to take over, let alone a TV series.

Lehman wouldn't even mention this matter.

As for the original director, Sean Levy, who was acquainted with Fox who was taken away by the Firefly "Museum Surprise Night" series, it is obviously not possible.

As a result, you can only find them from various brokerage companies.

In addition, it is to arrange auditions...

Going over there, the senior management of caa is of course very welcome to Lehman.

In any case, this is regarded as taking care of their business and giving their customers opportunities.

In this regard, Lehman is not surprised.

Anyway, every big director is the target of the agency.

In caa, there are many people who can get such treatment. For example, Spielberg's affairs are often handled by the first-class resources.

Regardless of whether it is an actor or a director, or whatever other needs, the scope of specific screening is taken out, the huge machine is activated, and a lot of suitable candidates will soon be found.

After the entrustment was completed, Lehman refused some invitations to the party and drove home.

Perhaps it’s because the mood is pretty good recently-watching Firefly develop more and more smoothly, "Deadly Magic" is also about to generate benefits, Lehman finally feels that the six unattainable in the past, oh, now it should be The Big Five, after all, Columbia and MGM have become Sony's resource pool. At this time, I am no longer so majestic.

On the road, it is rare for him to look at the high-rise buildings and steel jungles rising from the roadside with an admiring eye.

Follow this direction all the way to Beverly Hills, from the location, it has gathered enough wealth and prosperity.

Who will let the rich and celebrities get together?

The luxury pedestrian street, the garden square, and the municipal building are all exquisite.

This joyful attitude also makes it easy for people close to you to feel it.

Eva returned from Warner Studios with a trace of exhaustion on her body, but under exhaustion, she was more novel and adaptable.

Behind the scenes and in front of the stage are obviously very different jobs. For her, she needs to be familiar with it.

Then when she saw Lyman washing the fruit with an enthusiastic smile, in a daze, she thought she was wrong, because she knew that Lyman rarely expressed similar emotions.

In his impression, he would only do this if the film was approved by the audience.

But recently, it seems that the film was released without him...

The two people who hadn't seen each other for a few days, naturally, because of the wonderful mood, took advantage of the night to stay warm.

In good spirits.

Flicking the hair on Eva’s ear, Lehman said casually: “Now Blue Butterfly Pictures is slowly accumulating, and last year’s release performance is probably not half as high as this year. I hope that next year, there will be such progress in the surrounding markets. ."

In this regard, Eva doesn't care much, and Lehman just wants to talk about similar topics.

After all, what I said to Liam might be clearer than his perception...

Eva echoed a few occasionally, and she was also happy for it.

Although she has never worried about management, she still knows a little bit after being in the circle for so long...

Early the next morning, Lehman went to the company.

Not long after sitting down, I was about to read the newspaper when Maes knocked on the door and walked in.

Her coming is also a matter of schedule.

Sometimes, someone came to look for, usually she would find time to ask Lehman what he meant.

And some people in the company have a higher priority.

such as......

"Boss, the post work of the "Sparta" project has been completed, are you going to see the finished film?"

Yes, the filming cycle of "Sparta" was finally completed at the end of October, and the entire project budget was almost spent. Fortunately, it did not exceed the budget and the set schedule. .

"Do you need to go right now? Or say..." Mayes asked again.

Lehman put down the newspaper and nodded, "Go straight."

When he got out of the office, Lehman also thought about it.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" is the big action of the Firefly this year, let alone anything else, just the expenditure of nearly 65 million US dollars, not including the subsequent publicity costs, is a high investment.

To issue such a project, it is actually a bit reluctant for Blue Butterfly Pictures. In this way, apart from communicating with the theaters in advance, Lionsgate also needs to exchange profits for some resources...

Lehman can remember that Warner didn’t pay much attention to this movie in the original time and space. After the successful remake of "The Living Dead", Zhadao’s new work Warner just recognized his ability. In the March schedule, it is the May and June schedule.

Whoever thinks, this work has exploded, or it has exploded...

Lehman will definitely not commit a similar difference in vision.

This time, they must concentrate their first-class resources into the market during the November schedule to maximize their benefits...
