Hollywood legendary director

A big drama involving a lot of human cooperation is not a simple job to shoot.

If you think about it, when you’re a school leader, you’re a team leader, and you can manage work with less than 12 or 3 people. There are many things. Don’t say that the "Iron Man" crew will have an average filming team of no less than 300 members. There are about 100 actors in some scenes, and when it comes to group performances at most, it will be troublesome for the entire crew to reach thousands of people.

For this reason, the producer team also has more people than the average project.

Blake, who has finished working on "Juneo", the most frequently co-operated deputy and screenwriter Ryan, Marvel Pictures President Kevin Fitch, CAA representative Klauen, and Actors Guild representative Gartman, named general manager Producer and director Lyman, almost half of the core team of Firefly joined the crew.

These people have experience in studio organization.

Lehman communicated with them first, they were communicating with the employees of the department below, and then they got acquainted with each other during the break-in to complete the specific shooting matters.

Scheduling, room and board, and personnel expenses will be the focus of the crew every day. Even the filming budget of "Iron Man" is also on the top, followed by the special effects that burn money. The actor's pay is not multiplied in front of such a big show. Expenditures.

A large-scale commercial film is basically a team work with meticulous division of labor.

Fortunately, Hollywood is accustomed to such streamlined management and has great coping experience.

"The financial staff must strictly control the flow of the budget, and any procurement work must follow the process, and the accounts must be reviewed at any time."

Lehman's harsh instructions three times and five appeals, he was afraid that because many people outside the system joined the crew, they would use their brains to make money, such as a straw hat of several thousand yuan, a beggar for tens of thousands of yuan, etc., obviously unreasonable. Investors have joined the team with the shortage of goods.This is not impossible.

Do some people always want to make quick money?

Anyway, if he caught it, let him know what a capital society is, and be capitalized by lawyers to see how much money he has to compensate.

The heads of various departments gathered together to discuss various matters before the start-up. In the dressing room, Robert Downey Jr. changed his clothes, rubbed a little powder on his face, and chatted with his agent and Susan about public relations issues.

Susan is actually a woman with fairly rich studio experience. Lehman spoke and asked her to lead the communication vehicle.

Is it a waste if such manpower is not used? Anyway, this one is also very professional.

As for image public relations, it is not that Lehman has a kind heart attack, but the film enters the promotion period. He is the leading actor. You can't let the audience's impression of him still remain on the "honorable" deeds of being caught by speeding.

At this time, because the main creator was kept secret, the public did not know the specifics of "Iron Man", only that Marvel seemed to be making a movie, and even the director was not clear.

This is also to create a kind of mystery and arouse public curiosity.

When the film is finished, Robert Downey Jr. will first appear in several talk shows with the support of both Firefly and Warner, and then increase media exposure, focusing on the "return of the prodigal son" route and allowing the public to monitor his behavior .

If he really quits, this is the best way to restore his image, and he can even interact with Tony Stark to play a publicity role of 1+1 greater than 2.

In the original time and space, Paramount did the same, and Downey was no longer absurd, and this completed the rebirth of an actor.

As long as he doesn't give up on himself and is given a chance to seize it, returning to the mainstream screen is not a big problem.

Because Hollywood is very tolerant of this aspect, a certain popular singer who relied on Internet traffic to become popular has more troubles. He can do it even if he sucks silly pee on the street, and still does not affect his career.

Capital society, as long as it can prove its worth.

After Downey gained muscle, he also worked hard on the role, holding his breath in his heart.

Treat every staff member politely regardless of their status.

He really cherishes this opportunity.

It may be that you have had it and lost it before you develop a similar mentality.

Lehman urged the actors to play against each other.

Among them, only Samuel Jackson is the only one who has cooperated with him. He is also the most informal among actors and Lyman.

Anyone who knows Lehman knows that this director is not someone who likes to put on airs. This time I heard that director Lehman had a role looking for him, and he didn't even pay attention to the scenes, so he took it.

After reading the script at this moment, I felt a little bewildered.

Nima, he just had a few lines, a scene, said it was a role, more like a friendly guest appearance, but when Lehman invited him, he didn't say it was a guest appearance, and he was a little surprised.

The result... ahem.His role is like this-

Tony Stark entered the room, and a stranger in black stood in front of the French window with his back to him: "Do you think you are the only superhero in the world? We are only a small part of the vast universe, but you have nothing to do with it. I know. I’m Nick Fury, the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I’m here to talk to you about the Avengers..."

Yes, he didn't show his face at the beginning, and he pretended to speak with his back to others. Halfway through, he turned around and finished calmly in Tony Stark's guard.... ..

After getting the role, Jackson's first reaction was to be ignorant.

After so much talk, it seems to have no effect on the establishment of his image. He raised a mouthful of S.H.I.E.L.D., but the force of S.H.I. No matter how he acted, Jackson was confused.

I gave too few key points, I don’t know how to play it.

This is the character that actors are most afraid of encountering with insufficient background and no performance space...

"Director Lyman, my role?"

Seeing people coming, Jackson hurriedly asked for help.

In fact, he really didn't know what he was going to do on the stage, could it just show his face, one or two seconds?

If it is a cameo, he can actually not pay for it. Anyway, wait until the day of the performance to take a moment to come over and walk through the scene to deepen the friendship, this little thing, he is still very willing.

At this time, he euphemistically revealed similar thoughts.

Lyman smiled.

He still attaches great importance to the role of Nick Fury.

Although he is a soy sauce character in "Iron Man", his appearance is just a small easter egg to bring out the Hulk... Initially establish the role basis for linkage, and use dots (independent works of various superheroes) to bring the surface (rejoin) set up).

But in addition, in terms of TV dramas, Nick Fury and Hell's Kitchen will be the two main adaptation directions in the early stage, and they must be focused on mining.

In other words, in Lehman's vision, Samuel Jackson played a role as a link between the previous and the next in the film plan. There were few scenes, but the key was to make a big difference in the field of TV dramas and become one of the leading roles.

After taking over Marvel, Lehman has written a lot of comics and his ideas are more flexible——

In May 1963, the image of Nick Fury debuted in the chapter "Sergeant Fury and the Roaring Commando".

The name of this comic comes from a bet between Stan Lee and Marvel Chairman Goodman: No matter how bad the title is, there is a way to make it popular.

In fact, this comic is indeed very successful.

The background of the Roaring Commando is a special operations squad that was active in World War II, and Chief Nick Fury (the white face in the comics, but Jackson is more suitable) is the captain of this squad.

The members of the commando came from all corners of the world: Southern Americans, blacks, Italian-Americans, Jews, British, Japanese-Americans, Germans who had surrendered.

Such a team of different races and skin colors is quite rare, breaking many conventions: the Jews in the team are the first well-documented Jewish superheroes in history, and the cartoons also have a positive effect on blacks and other minorities. Image shaping.

In the same year, Lawyer Jin, a benchmark figure among blacks, Martin Luther King, delivered the famous anti-discrimination speech "I Have a Dream". At this time, the comic had been released for three months, and the sales volume was good and profitable.

Moreover, "Iron Man" raised a mouthful of S.H.I.E.L.D., not taking advantage of the heat to film S.H.I. Visionary filmmakers.

In the setting, Director Fury would be injured by a landmine in an operation, and his life was dying, so the government also let him participate in the Super Soldier Project.

The effect of the super serum not only made him completely healed, but also gained an extraordinary body and a body that would not age.

But unlike Captain America's "Super Soldier" serum, the Director's degree of integration is lower.

In Marvel's existing comic world view, the director is equivalent to a weakened US team, but he has more experience in the overall situation, command and organizational capabilities. In other words, people are natural leaders.

More importantly, Lehman discovered that after seeing Marvel’s past cooperative business, in the early 1990s, when Goodman was presiding over the overall situation, a popular arcade machine "The Punisher", Marvel provided the copyright image— —

This game has only two characters, and bind the main and auxiliary joysticks.

The main joystick is the punisher, while the secondary joystick controls the cyclops wearing green overalls and always holding a pipe in his mouth. It's a young Nick Fury.

At that time, Lyman felt that the role of Director Fury certainly could not be a supporting role in a simple popcorn movie to advance the plot.

The worldview created by "Sergeant Fury and Roaring Commando" can be linked with "American Team", and the popularity should be the best in the third line. As long as some resources and media promotion, the filming of TV series is still very much nice.

A person who does not follow the development of a flawed era and does not have a role to bow to the incorrect mainstream is not in response to the political trend at this time.

Well, the election year is coming soon, and the black-skinned, white-hearted politician will come to power and set off a more correct black trend in Hollywood.

In terms of the times, Director Fury is simply the most suitable role adaptation project.

Lehman is not the Marvel management who is forced to continue his life. How to expand the value of Marvel, he stands taller and farther.

Samuel Jackson nodded thoughtfully. Just now Lehman told him that this role will be of great use in the future, so he doesn't worry about why the role in this movie is so low.Maybe it's not yet time for his performance...
