Legendary Hollywood Director

The next day, the whole crew drove to Atduba, a small town on the outskirts of Paris.

This location is the place that spends the most time out of the country in the movie.

In the car, Ryan said to the crowd: I have already contacted the sheriff and the mayor of the town on the phone, and they are very welcome to our crew to film here. In addition, there is also a hotel in the town. Don't worry about accommodation.

Well, very careful. Lyman nodded at him and smiled.

In recent years, Ryan has followed the crew to make films, but he has become more and more familiar with the work of producing.

Afterwards, everyone drove to the hotel to stay, put away their luggage, and after a short rest, they split up.

Thomas, Evan Brayden and several heads, with the camera crew and the set crew, began to arrange the shooting location; Ryan was responsible for contacting the crew for meals, recruiting extras from the town, and so on.

Everyone's motivation is very high, and the film crew under Lehmann's opponent still has nothing to say.

In addition to the basic salary far exceeding the average level in the industry, if the movie box office is good after its release, he is also willing to take some of the proceeds as a bonus, and distribute it to all employees including the crew as dividends.

The bigger the box office sales, the bigger the red envelope for this bonus.

Do you save others by yourself? Everyone's interests are guaranteed. This is the most practical and effective thing to maintain the crew's centripetal force.

Once his personal affairs were properly distributed, Lehmann, along with Jim Carrey, Jean Reno, and Hilary Swank, went to visit the town's mayor.

For the crew who came here to shoot, it was always right to have a good relationship with the government.

The town is not a very popular location, and it is rare to see a crew every year.

Not to mention that an internationally renowned director like Lehmann led the crew, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the town's future development.

Therefore, the mayor of the town met Lehman and his party with a warm attitude.

The mayor's name is Prey Josephman, and he is about fifty years old. He has a chubby, bulging belly, is not tall, and has a pair of small eyes.

He looked kind and happy.

He held Jean-Renault's hand enthusiastically, looked at him with small eyes and said, Oh, are you here to film too? It's nice, it's nice.

The more famous the crew, the more he liked it.

Mr. Mayor, you're welcome, let me introduce you, Jean-Reno took the initiative to act as a middleman. This is Mr. Lehmann, the director of the crew. This is the starring Mr. Jim Carrey, from Hollywood. This is Miss Hilary Swank, the female lead on the show.

Several of Lehmann's films have been shown in France, and the mayor of Prey has a more enthusiastic attitude towards him. He grabbed his hand and said, Hello, hello, welcome to the town of Atduba.

After greeting each other, Pre-Josephman personally led the four of them around the town and introduced the scenery.

In the evening, this fellow proposed to invite the whole crew to dinner, saying that it was to express the attitude of the town. If something happened during the shooting, they could come to him.

The economic level of the town is not high, and the people who were able to see the scene also took a fancy to this point, which is very consistent with the scene setting in the movie, and finally chose this place.

It is precisely because of this that the leadership of the town still hopes to create a fortune for the town.

If you can really make a name for yourself with movies,

Attracting more crews to film here is not in vain for their enthusiastic gestures of dedication and support.

A feast, ate very late.

It wasn't until Mayor Prey couldn't hold it any longer, lying on the bed drunkenly and sleeping on the wine table, did he announce the end.

Layman was also almost dying, and said with a sigh of relief: It's finally poured down, these people are working too hard.

Ryan next to him got up and said, The person who called them came.

Lehmann cleared the table and asked Jim Carrey and Jean Reno, How are you?

Jim Carrey laughed: It's okay, I didn't have a few drinks. They're targeting you.

Jean-Renault was miserable. He was a little too drunk and his face was flushed. This fellow has a taciturn personality and is a famous actor in France. Of course, the people in the town did not let him go. In addition, the people are honest, they will not refuse to come, and they will drink with their heads down, but they are fighting hard.

Thomas on the side also said: They still want to do things.

The economic environment is not good, and it's impossible to live a life that relies entirely on government subsidies. Lehmann glanced at the mayor, who was still asleep, I just followed him around, there is no source of income in the town, and the factory has no source of income. In a few seats, the pressure of employment is high, and young people all run outside.

Isn't this normal? Ryan muttered: France's economy has experienced negative growth in recent years, and the government has to bear high welfare expenditures, so it's good to be able to maintain a decent appearance. On the contrary, the film industry is still good, and the box office is very good. The total volume has been increasing and the market is getting bigger and bigger.”

Lyman was not surprised when he heard it.

In the future, because of the government's reduction of welfare, I don't know how many demonstrations broke out.

The determination to let go of the burden is there, but what can it be?

Furthermore, he is a filmmaker, and the film market does not need to jump.

And, as Ryan said, the rise of French cinema is fast.

In the past few years, it has been praised by Hollywood blockbusters, and the money has been made by outsiders, but now, local film companies such as Europa and EMI have significantly increased their market share.

In terms of last year, in the top ten of the annual box office list, 5 are from France, and the champion is Bad Guy.

Even more so this year, for the first time, the summer vacation market has been guarded by French films.

In fact, it was also caused by the unsatisfactory blockbusters such as Van Helsing and Troy, one after another.

As a result, The Violent Neighborhood produced by Europa Films and Spring in the Cattle Class released by EMI have achieved very good results.

Especially The Violent Neighborhood, which was written by Luc Besson and imitated the localized improvement of Hollywood commercial films. .

It can be considered that I have learned the essence of Hollywood popcorn movies, and the audience is also happy to watch.

In the past, boring romantic movies dominated the mainstream. Although there are still the most such movies, we can see that the market is changing, and there are more and more filmmakers who want to simply make money.

After all, people have been making money making movies, and I have been losing money making movies. It must be false to say that I can’t get a little thought from it. Furthermore, the genre of literature and art is really good, and it's not that it can't be sold. For example, Spring in the Cattle Class, the audience also likes it.

Therefore, judging from the current development situation, French films still have room for improvement.

While speaking, several drivers that Ryan called to notify had come, and everyone helped to carry several government employees in the town into the car, and then they left together.
