Legendary Hollywood Director

The original The Mist was released in 2007 by Dimen Pictures and released by MGM Pictures.

The director is Frank Darabont.

This man is friends with Stephen King.

Miracle in the Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are both directed by him. If Lehman hadn't participated in the first hand, he would have made The Mist in 2006, and it was the third time to cooperate with Stephen King.

This fellow was born as a screenwriter. After stepping into Hollywood from France, he never got much chance to become famous in the early stage.

However, he is a very thoughtful and talented person.

Occasionally, he was writing the script for director Chuck Russell The Ghost in the Night 3, which was greatly appreciated by director Russell.

The following year, he was named and asked him to write a new drama Transfiguration, and also met Stephen King, a well-known horror writer at the time.

He chatted with Stephen very much.

In 1994, he invested in the adaptation of Stephen's novel The Shawshank Redemption and served as the director.

It's a pity that the movie has an invincible reputation, but the story is too dull to sell at the box office.

As a result, the losses were serious, and the investors were directly crying.

However, he himself became an instant hit because of it, and many film critics and judges of various awards liked it. He was nominated for the best adapted screenplay at the Oscars the following year, and was named the best adapted screenplay by the New York Daily. The best movie top lineup of the year.

Then in 1999, the man once again adapted Stephen's novel Miracle in the Green Mile and won the favor of the Oscar again.

Well, the market is still hitting the streets, and less than 70% of the 60 million investment is recovered.

The capitalists are very realistic. After these two failures, even if the reputation of the work is not bad, no one is willing to continue to lose money.

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

When it came to the third cooperation, the budget given by Dimen was only 18 million.

From the previous production of 50 to 60 million yuan, it has been reduced to a low-cost production.

It can be seen that Dimen is also very careful. With such a small amount of money, it is very poor to make a soft sci-fi thriller movie.

Still, that's not a problem for Lehmann.

When he inquired all the way and knew the address of Stephen King's residence, he rushed over quickly.

In order to get the film adaptation rights of The Mist.

Such a good story should not be limited by the lack of funds and the best results.

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

The doorbell rang, and Stephen's wife hurriedly greeted him.

Lyman was specifically notified this morning.

...You two, please come in.

Ryman 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 it was to buy the rights to adapt the novel.

However, she has also experienced similar things, and smiled and replied: He is upstairs, I will take you up.

Before coming to meet Stephen King, Lyman also inquired about the great writer.

Knowing that the copyright of novel adaptations in his hands is in his own hands, and this person attaches great importance to the handling of novel adaptation rights.

If he appreciates it, then everything can be said. This is the case with Flack, and he is also the director he has collaborated with the most times; if he doesn't like it, he may not get the rights to the adaptation at a high price.

In other words, Stephen King himself is not disgusted with his novel being put on the big screen, as long as he approves it.

And as he grows older, he also has less energy to take care of adaptations. In the past, he liked to work as a screenwriter together on movie scripts and personally control the shooting of scripts. In recent years, he has stopped doing this.

However, he occasionally serves as the producer of the project himself, investing in works or something.

Culture and entertainment are not separated, the old man has tried everything.

Lehman is also mentally prepared for this. It is impossible to get the adaptation copyright from such a rich man who does not follow the rules of the market. It is impossible to do it by talking about money.

The top is also based on this, and it was specially brought.

After all, Lehmann hasn't seen much of Stephen King's work, so he may not be able to talk, talk about sexual cold scenes and the like.

The situation is not the same as Lehmann expected.

After meeting Stephen King and explaining his intentions, the old man did not hang up at all, but said that if he wanted to talk, he would come back the day after.

But how could Leiman just leave like this, he had to talk more about spying on his tendencies.

My junior came from Cannes, a small town in France, and I have made several works. I happened to see Mr.'s novel The Mist in a bookstore. When I went to Hollywood, I inquired about Mr. through some channels, and visited him rashly, but it was just a matter of urgency, thinking, and thinking, and whether today's event was successful or not, it also satisfied the boy's wish to see Mr.

Layman's ability to tell lies has entered the realm of transformation through two years of experience, and he will come without writing a draft.

Sure enough, the old man still prefers this set.

After all, there are thousands of clothes, and no flattery.

In any case, you can't keep a cold face to a fan of your own books.

Speaking of which, the old gentleman's trivial matters for the past two days were concentrated together, and he was a little irritable.

Let's talk then.

Stephen King smiled a little, losing his initial indifference to the two strangers.

Then in the chat that followed, the top licked even more.

This guy likes Stephen's novels very much, and has admired it since childhood. The style of his movies is also influenced by the extraordinary ideas in Stephen's novels.

As soon as we chatted, Lehman was almost thrown aside.

Lyman sat dry beside him, occasionally holding a sentence, making the conversation more natural.

I was actually a little embarrassed in my heart, and sure enough, people who had expectations in their hearts and people who didn't expect them were different.

Talking about the creation of novels, or the similar topics of the stories in it, the tops are all connected. It's not like Lehmann, a cybe, a fake book fan, except for the movie version of The Shawshank Redemption, The Shining and the original novel I bought for the adaptation of The Mist, other works have no impression at all.

Fortunately, the old man doesn't care about that.

After all, in Lehmann's previous explanation, he came across this novel by chance in France. How could the old man know that Lehman remembered the plot of the movie version first, and then read the original novel.

The top chatted with a look of joy, like a groupie who was chasing after an idol who successfully met.

Stephen King also had a good chat and felt that the two were quite eye-catching.

Not to mention the spinning top, the die-hard book fan, Lehmann, is also a good-natured person with a very low attitude.

Although the old man doesn't often pay attention to the entertainment industry, he still knows about the French director Lehmann, who has sold all his works in recent years, but he has never met.
