Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 179 Wen Ziren's movie plan

Yoleman is Wen Ziren.

I called him suddenly the day before yesterday afternoon and asked him if he was free, where he was, and I was looking for him for something.

After confirming the itinerary, it will be about today.

Originally, it was supposed to meet at a certain coffee shop, but Lehman was in trouble, so he changed it to a hotel.

Not long after he went back in Cage's car, the door rang.

Looking through the cat's eyes, it was Wen Ziren who had not seen each other for a while.

He stood outside the door restrained, and even brought gifts, or some souvenirs specially brought from Australia, saying that they could not be bought here.

It's really weird, after all, we have been working together for a while, no.

It felt like he was an outsider.

Of course, this is what Lehman thought, but not Wen Ziren.

He felt that he had to have this attitude when asking people to do things.

When going forward, he always felt that his luck was good enough.

When he was 7 years old, he moved to Australia with his family, which greatly broadened his horizons, and later went to a good university.

During this period, I met my good friend Revonne, and the two hit it off right away and shared a common shooting philosophy.

After graduating from university, he joined an unofficial film group Spike Pike. They are all like-minded people who love horror elements. They have nothing to shoot short films and exchange experiences.

The days passed slowly, but after all, he majored in film, how could he not have the idea of ​​directing a work of his own? He also tried it.

But here, it may be that the luck of life has been consumed too much and hit a wall everywhere.

He thought that the film environment in Australia was not good, there were not many opportunities, and he worked hard, so he went to the United States with his friends.

But still nothing works. Although there are many opportunities, they are all owned by others. Not to mention being a director, it is not his turn to be an assistant.

And all this, going round and round, seems to have returned to the past.

His luck came again, and he met Lyman.

Then the bad guy succeeded at the box office, and some of the film companies who had previously dismissed him were willing to give him a chance.

But after all, isn't he a real director? That man was also a little hesitant, and the conditions offered to him were not high, even harsh.

Of course, he didn't think how the treatment was, but the power to shoot on set was given too little, or in other words, the freedom of creation was not high.

Not only does it not have any post-production power, but it doesn't even have editing rights.

This made him a little distressed. Logically speaking, as a newcomer, he should seize this opportunity, regardless of whether the conditions are good or bad.

but......

Maybe he wanted to struggle a bit. After all, it was his idea, the script he co-created with his friends, so he thought of Lehmann, the man who took good care of him on the set. No, he was a mentor.

What are you busy with recently? If you have time, my next movie will be in the preparatory stage. When that time comes, you can come to help earlier, okay? Lehmann was quite casual, and he greeted him to sit down and said. starter

But when he said this, Wen Ziren felt a little restless.

Is the time inconvenient? Lyman said again, seeing his embarrassment.

Yeah. Wen Ziren didn't think about how to open this mouth, and took it in his bag.

He took out a script, This, I have a book here, which has been favored by Lionsgate, and would like to hear your opinion.

The script? Well, let me see. Lyman was speechless.

On second thought, yes, even non-professionals want to be directors, not to mention his idea of ​​being a professional who doesn't want to be a deputy, Lyman can understand very well.

Reached out to take it, and browsed.

Unlike his style of carefully sorting out every scene word by word, this book is written in a very rough manner, and the dialogue between the characters is poor, but there are a lot of annotations on the scenes next to it.

As for the story, it is roughly similar to the later films, and all kinds of tormenting props are well written.

I don't know, I thought Wen Ziren was a pervert.

Well, it's kind of like a pervert, a psychopath.

Lehman put down the script and looked at Wen Ziren sitting opposite.

He put his hands on his knees, noticed Lyman's look, and responded with a smile.

What about your own ideas? The script doesn't really represent much, but the idea is good.

These days, how can a director with strength and status still use this thing, it is all based on the situation. If you think James Cameron has the idea of ​​making a film, those who are willing to invest must be lined up, as long as it is not It's too outrageous, and the chances of passing the project are too high.

When Wen Ziren heard this, he glanced at Leiman secretly, but he couldn't tell anything from his face, and his heart was ruthless, and he didn't plan to hide it, That's right, I want to be The director of this work, but I am not very satisfied with the investment conditions of Lionsgate, so I want to ask if you are willing to take over.

What's the situation? What does Lionsgate say?

A while ago, didn't I come to your place to apply for an assistant director? In fact, before that, I had already submitted scripts to many film companies. Later, did Lionsgate have some ideas, but it's been deadlocked now, and we haven't reached an agreement yet? …”

After listening to Wen Ziren, Laiman also had a general understanding.

Again, he wanted a little more creative freedom and didn't want to be tied too hard.

This kind of talk made Laiman interested. He also knew Wen Ziren's ability. Lionsgate was hesitant and a little suspicious, but he was different.

Maybe it belongs to the director, and he is also happy to give people the space to display. Just like Luc Besson did to him.

After thinking about his own conditions, Lehman also made a decision.

After he pushed the script back to Wen Ziren, he said, Okay, if you're interested, I'll help you find a way.

Really? Thank you, Lyman.

Wen Ziren's joy was beyond words, and he was even a little unbelievable: it was as simple as that.

Lyman looked at him, somewhat thinking of when he was filming Buried Alive.

That kind of feeling is probably the same after getting the opportunity.

Worry about gains and losses, and full of energy.

Well, but your handling of the ending is a bit rough. You should leave an open ending to give the audience more suspense.

This is pure nonsense. It's just that Lehman doesn't look like the ending of the original. It is estimated that Lionsgate deliberately left a foreshadowing when editing.

After all, the most popular shooting trend in Hollywood right now is to make sequel movies. No matter whether it is a good or bad movie, it is always right to keep one.

In case, the box office performance of the movie's release market is OK, then it is not possible to make money from fans in an open and honest way.

Such a good idea, of course, must be used.

After a little discussion between the two, the name of the project was confirmed, and it was still called Chainsaw Horror.
