452 Chapter 449 "Mist" (seeking subscription, tickets) (1/2)

The original version of ”The Mist” was released by MGM Films invested by Emperor Gate Pictures in 2007.

The director is Flac De Labont.

This person and Stephen King are friends.

”The Green Mile” and ”Shawshank's Redemption” are all directed by him. If Lehman didn't take part, he would film ”The Mist” in 2006. This is the third time he has collaborated with Stephen King.

This guy was born as a screenwriter. After stepping into Hollywood from France, he didn't get any chance to become famous in the early stage.

However, he is a very thoughtful man, not short of talent.

Occasionally, the script of ”Midnight Ghost Goes to Bed 3” was written for director Chuck Russell, which was greatly appreciated by director Russell.

The following year, he asked him to write a new play ”The Deformed Monster” and met Stephen King, a famous horror writer at the time.

He came to chat with Stephen very much.

In 1994, he adapted Stephen's novel ”Shawshank's Redemption” to invest and act as a director.

Unfortunately, the movie’s reputation is invincible, but the story is too dull and not suitable for selling at the box office.

As a result, the losses were severe, and the investors cried directly.

However, he himself became popular because of this. Many film critics and judges of major awards liked it. He was nominated for the best adapted screenplay at the Oscar the following year and was named that one by the New York Daily. The best movie top lineup of the year.

Then in 1999, this person again adapted Stephen's novel ”The Green Mile” and once again won the favor of the Oscar.

Well, the market is still on the street, less than 70% of the 60 million investment has been recovered.

Capitalists are very realistic. After these two failures, no one wants to continue to lose out even if the works are not bad.

Even if Stephen is very supportive of him, he will not support anything financially-the great writers are also realistic.Stephen admired Frank's talent and recognized his adaptation and interpretation of his work, but it is an indisputable fact that he has been losing money.

By the third cooperation, the budget given by Emperor Men was only 18 million.

From the previous production of fifty to six million, reduced to low-cost production.

It can be seen that Emperor Men is also very careful. With such a small amount of money, it is very poor to make soft science fiction thriller movies.

However, this is not a problem for Lehman.

When he inquired all the way and found out where Stephen King lived, he quickly rushed over.

In order to obtain the film adaptation copyright of ”The Mist”.

Such a good story should not be limited by insufficient funds to produce the best results.

Although that movie is Frank's highest return on investment, it made money...

Ringing the doorbell, Stephen's wife hurriedly greeted him again.

Lehman specifically notified this morning.

”...Two, please come in.”

Lehman was polite, and then said: ”Hello, Ms. Tabitha, I'm here to discuss the adaptation of the novel with Mr. Stephen, I don't know...”

Tabitha only knew that someone came to visit, but she didn't know that she came to buy the right to adapt the novel.

However, she had experienced similar things, and smiled back: ”He is upstairs, I will take you up.”

Before coming to meet Stephen King, Lehman also inquired about some news from the great writer.
