Hollywood legendary director

This is how the schedule competition is. Some people are happy and some are worried.

But for Lehmann, the "Iron Man" matter is temporarily left behind, and he has to be busy for the latter part of "District Nine".

Oh, two projects in the Marvel TV field also need to be thoughtful.

Another day.

The company's built-in screenwriting team allocated a portion of staff, and then Lyman and Kevin Fitch arrived.

The two of them came to determine the direction of the adaptation. Although the copyright of Daredevil has been withdrawn, how to structure it, whether to learn from the movie or reshape it, these are all questions.

"Okay, let's start."

Lyman waved his hand and told the assistant to close the door.

"Let’s talk about "Roaring Squadron" first, have you seen the comics?"

"Look."

"Look."

The tool people nodded one after another. After receiving the scriptwriting task, who didn't make some preparations.

Collecting background information is a good habit of adaptation.

"If you have any ideas, talk about it."

"The theme of the drama is based on action and war. Aside from the background, it feels like a special squad recruited from various places. The main tasks are intelligence collection and enemy rear. Destruction and other missions. Unlike "Brothers", it has fewer characters and more concentrated scenes. The description of war is not comprehensive."

Lehman nodded and looked at it with talented eyes, "What is your name?"

"Uh, boss, my name is Domitry Klaus." Toolman One hides the joy of being called, and tries to keep it steady.

He is the Mann Media that the company expanded at the end of last year. He usually only has a basic salary. The salary is calculated according to the completion of the drama and the level of the script during the creation period. If the ratings of the drama are good, he will be given a bonus. Most of the year has passed, and he wrote " The script for the second season of "Stranger Things", the income is not high or low, but the ability is.

When the company was about to release a new drama, he was immediately thrown in by his boss Runier-Giss...

"Then first decide on the chief writer of "Roaring Squadron", Klaus, you will lead this project. In my opinion, the theme of the series must be a war scene with a partial action. You can take a look at the type of agent or other gunfight scenes. inspiration......"

Under the envy of the tools, Klaus listened carefully.

"The character part, the comics are set up very well, I hope to keep it."

"The 8 main characters?"

"The number of people can be changed, and it’s easier to make it more three-dimensional. What I value is the setting of skin color, from all corners of the world, to all races. It’s a trick. In the words of Captain Nick Fury, the main image is based on Samuel. Portrayal of El Jackson."

"In this way, the division of labor can be reasonable, and each team member must have characteristics and be differentiated."

Lehman was surprised, his brains were okay, he gave a few thoughts, and he could keep up.

"Klaus, tell me carefully." Lehman encouraged.

"I think the team leader should have a strong view of the overall situation and be able to make temporary decisions; there can also be someone who is good at blasting, good at tracking and anti-tracking, strong in reconnaissance, good at hot weapons, snipers, good at close combat, and good cold weapons. A signal soldier, a cryptographic genius, can decipher the intercepted telegram...In this way, a more comprehensive configuration of the rear enemy team is available."

"Yes, I only mention one point. The Asian in the character will be portrayed as the King of Close Kung Fu and Cold Weapon, and you can see the others as appropriate."

"Are there any rules for the length of the script?" Klaus asked.

"This script is mainly for the image of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in "Iron Man". It will certainly not be long, but the length of a season ranges from 12 episodes to more than 20 episodes. Then watch the audience's response. If the ratings are still If it’s okay, it’s going to be expanded. No, it’s the end of one season, and the standard is to maintain an average audience rating above 3."

"Okay, boss."

Lehman continued: "Well, now let’s run "Hell's Kitchen", everyone, let's first determine the idea. In the script, ideas and creativity are very important."

"I have watched the movie Daredevil. Ben Affleck played well, but his red robe is too bright and the color scheme is too bright, and the setting is not a blind man. The other 4 have a strong sense of strength and all his strength is his own hardship. Trained, with a firm will and a heart to uphold justice, I think he can rely on Nolan's Batman, both have similar temperaments, and both aspire to become the destroyer of the regional darkness."

"But Daredevil is too weak by the audience. It's not like a superhero at all. Doesn't it strengthen the setting of force?" Someone gave a different view.

"A person who uses the law to protect the weak during the day and uses his fist to deliver justice at night. I think the character itself is quite dramatic, but it needs to be dug out to give the audience a sense of substitution."

"Whether it is a movie or a comic, the villain is a golden union. I think he can have more space to make him a little more exciting. This can also contrast Daredevil and make the story more vivid. For example, although he is Hell's Kitchen The biggest gang leader, but has formulated a set of underground rules, and will take the initiative to deal with violators.

Do you know the largest drug dealer organization in Mexico? Those people will manage the slums for the government, similar to the feeling of the dark king. I want to express this point of view."

"The main line and conflict are there, but will the audience be satisfied?"

"No, on the contrary, the audience now likes non-mainstream villains, who do not blindly do evil for the sake of evil. In the past, they were defeated by the protagonist solely for the purpose of establishing a villain. The single-type and cliché contradiction settings are outdated. I If I think this is a good way, I will give Jin and more room for performance."

Lehman approved, "What is your name?"

Talking Tool Man No. 2 was also a little excited, and seized the opportunity, "Boss, my name is Faris Choate."

"Well, you are here to write "Hell's Kitchen". I hope that both of them will be online this year. Is there a problem?"

"No."

Kevin Fitch on the side twitched his mouth, and resisted not speaking.

This brain hole feels really interesting.

Golden Union?A gangster-level villain with tolerance?It seems quite interesting!

As for the feeling of "Roaring Squadron", it is not as big as the surprise of "Hell's Kitchen". The routine is quite common, that is, the skin color and race. Other dramas may not have it, but others can find templates.

"Okay, don't worry about other aspects, first polish the script, tell the story so that the audience can see it, don't be embarrassed, and the characters must be online."

After that, Lyman and Kevin left.

The two chief writers who were named quickly moved into action, each pulling up the team.

While Lehman was looking for a director while controlling the quality of the script, the new week passed, and the King of Chives, the masterpiece of Reaping Feelings, went online on time.

According to the propaganda slogan of a certain company in later generations, it is "We all owe "Indiana Jones" a movie ticket."

Why do you say that?

Brother, it's been 19 years. Do you know how I came here in these 19 years?

Video tapes are sold, TV stations are rebroadcasting them, and if you don’t want to watch, there are too many channels to broadcast the first three parts of "Indiana Jones". How much energy and sentiment the market has accumulated.

Coupled with the original team, although they are all old, they can remember the good memories of watching the "Indiana Jones" series at that time.

This is how people always remember the past and rarely look to the future.

Not to mention, many passers-by who did not enter the movie theater came to support "Crystal Skull".

The cinema in these few days is like dry firewood encountering a raging fire, out of control.

The premiere of "Prince Caspian", which had just been screened for 4 days, and some combative "Iron Man", was held in the United States last Thursday, and the premiere day was $25.04 million (this is a working day) , Three days of the weekend, directly collected 101 million box office, successfully topped the weekly list, squeezed out the Disney masterpiece that was not hot.

The number of openings in 4260 theaters also makes the film the third-largest film in history, ranking behind "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" (4362) and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (4284). Counting the identity of the old movie, the scale of the first venue in Hollywood history has not run away.

However, as soon as the film was released, the reputation was mixed. If the quality is better controlled, it may really dominate the summer vacation of 2008, but it is true that the main creators are old, and they will not bring much freshness to the younger generation of audiences. Old audiences They are very good.

In terms of word-of-mouth, 38 media gave a comprehensive score of 67, Rotten Tomatoes praise rating 76%, IMDB7.7, strictly speaking, for an adventure action theme, this score is quite good, but there is too much hype and too much expectation. high.

Let’s just say that, part of the audience was cautiously jumping into the arena. When the lights dimmed, they started to cheer up. When the signs of Paramount and Lucasfilm appeared, tears began to fill their eyes. Then reality and memories fought, and some of them went out of the movie theater, wanting to boast, but they could only cause trouble.

Prior to this, Paramount had played the title of the most anticipated movie of 2008. How many media waved the flag and how many drafts helped the audience recall the past. Although it is not a flop, it still makes a lot of vision. Water drift.

After five days of screening, the cumulative box office was 150 million, and the average single-day credit was 30 million, which was far lower than the publisher’s forecast of 40 million on the first Sunday.

Such a combination, even the first 5 days of "Iron Man" did not exceed the cumulative total, it is really unreasonable.

Of course, Spielberg has something to say.

What team did you bring Lehman, what did I bring?

A group of veterans must have similar styles, minimize innovation, and self-compress the shooting space. Compared with Tony Stark, who is full of charisma, there is nothing to say.

When the purpose of entertainment for the whole people becomes simple and straightforward, no one will accuse you of being superficial.

What the audience hated was the second-force mentality of "not wanting to give up the depth of thought" but also "taking care of the commercial market." They didn't please either.

Lehman understands this very well, so he has deep shooting, never expects too much from the market, always keeps production costs down, and shoots comfortably, but if he decides to go for entertainment, he also Can peacefully use a bright and concise narrative to come up with a qualified commercial film, so that the audience feels more comfortable in the process of watching and satisfies the time.

And what aspect of "Crystal Skull" has been criticized?

"It's like a piece of cake", "The key ingredient is missing"... Many viewers don't feel that way, and they can't find the pleasure of watching this series before.

Actually, the movie has not changed, the quality is some, even better than the box office market of the first three movies, but the audience has changed, grown up, matured, and there is no such attraction and sense of substitution for the so-called adventure.

A young man rides a white horse, but is there still a galloping heart when he is older?Many people gave answers.
