207 Chapter 207 "Brokeback Mountain" (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
When making a movie and letting Lehman evaluate it, the hardest part is the preliminary preparation.
To do that, everything must be prepared, which is difficult and troublesome.
But if you don't get it right, the subsequent shooting will not go smoothly.
It is equivalent to fixing the foundation before building a house, so that the subsequent work can provide a guarantee.
After spending about a week in Fisheka Castle, I finally decided on the lens imaging style of the movie.
Ryan and Thomas stared at the rest of the scenes, making props, and choosing appropriate crew costumes.
Now Lyman can be considered freed, ready to choose the actors.
Isn't it about to start filming? It's not a problem if the actors are not complete.
By the way, after a few phone calls with Heath Ledger, he was hesitant and unclear about it. He didn’t know when the schedule would be available. Ask him. He said that the shot was almost done, and there was only a finishing touch. He couldn't tell when it would end.Lehman planned to go directly to him.
......
Back at the homestay, I simply packed my luggage, took the car, transferred to the train, and rushed all the way to the airport.
The ticket has already been booked by Europa Films staff. This time, he set off alone. Eva had wanted to come, but he refused.
Running around, the schedule is so busy and troublesome, it's better to stay on the set.
......
It was rainy in the summer, and it rained suddenly in Wyoming in the United States at noon. There were no signs of dark clouds in the sky, it was ”sunny rain”.
On a straight road, in a Mercedes-Benz driving smoothly, Lehmann witnessed the rain.
He arrived at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday afternoon, and then found a hotel there to stay for one night. Early the next morning, he took a vehicle arranged by Paramount Pictures to come here.
”Brokeback Mountain” was filmed on a ranch in Wyoming.
By the way, this movie is also a very common novel adaptation.
The original book is a collection of short stories written by Pulitzer Prize-winning Anne Plucks.
There are altogether 11 articles, all of which are set in Wyoming. The main themes are about the hard life of the farm people in the wild, harsh, violent natural environment.
Before the article was intentionally put on the big screen, it won the 98-year Euro-Henry Short Story Award and the National Magazine Award, so it does not lack fame.
Later, it was naturally adapted by writers Larry McMurtry and Diana Osana into a script suitable for filming.
The story is a good story, but Hollywood does not lack good stories.
The natural attributes of this script indicate that there will not be too many film companies interested. After several rounds, many directors such as Gus Van Sant and Joel Smeche have refused to take over this low-cost film. In the end, the producer James Shams paid US$3 million to take over the script of the film, and it was caught by director Li Zheng.
It would be embarrassing to want to come to Li Zheng, the current situation of the director.
The 2003 ”Hulk” almost killed his previous achievements.
The shooting cost is 137 million US dollars, not counting the announcement.
The release result was only US$245.3 million (total box office worldwide), which directly caused the producer Global to lose approximately US$70 million, and indirectly failed the Global Superhero launch plan.
To know that the Marvel movie copyright in Universal's hands, only ”Hulk” is still well-known and has relatively good commercial adaptation value.
”Spider-Man” turned out, such a market performance, such a fan appeal, who is not eye-catching?
