Legendary Hollywood Director

Edmund's admiration was justified.

The concept of "Untouchable" is indeed clever.

Perhaps non-French filmmakers will only say that the film is well done and good enough, but a careful study of the cultural background will reveal the true ambition of the film.

Because Deres in the film, that is, the poor black ghost, is an Algerian.

If you don't pay special attention, this identity is actually nothing.

But you must know that the history of grievances between Algeria and France is quite complicated. Once this issue is not well settled, it is very easy to cause the audience to resist.

In other words, under the shell of the light comedy "Untouchable" is a film that transcends race, country, skin color, and even looks at history and hatred from an objective standpoint. Emotional approach is presented.

There's a reason it's consistently rated high and even ranks high in French cinema history.

A book that is mixed with many factors that are difficult to tell, but can be expressed intelligently, is undoubtedly a kind of wisdom.

In 1830, France seized the richest part of the Mediterranean coast of Algeria on the grounds of diplomacy;

In 1905, France basically completed the occupation of this area of ​​Algeria;

During World War II, Algeria supported the Allies and supported the French Liberty Armed Fighting;

At the end of World War II, Algeria was full of independent ideas, and the de Gaulle government launched the army to suppress it;

In 1962, Algeria declared independence.

Therefore, the relationship between these two places should be that France spent 75 years colonizing Algeria and then failed.

The tragic level of this is the hatred between countries, and until now, Algeria likes to build trefoil towers, their architectural symbols, to tell that history.

However, if that's the case, the two are just hostile to each other.

But the situation is actually a little more complicated.

In later generations, many people lamented how the French army raised so many black people? And suspected a form of mercenary.

But in fact, most of those black people are Algerian or mixed with France.

Because of that colonial history, the integration of the two countries is very high.

In France today, more than 70% of the mixed-race population are all Algerian blacks and descendants. Many were forced to stay in France during the colonial period, and then they have been rooted in this way.

Like Zidane, the pride of Marseille, he is also an Algerian.

Therefore, the relationship between Algeria and France is very complicated. They both hate and recognize, and as long as they immigrate, the first choice is always France.

At the same time, what do the French generally think of the Albanians?

Generally speaking, most French people feel that it is an overseas territory and then lost it as a shame, and they also set Algeria's Independence Day as a national disaster day, which is enough to show the thinking of the people and the government.

This kind of master's thinking makes many French people subconsciously look down on the Albanians.

The treatment and benefits for them are also vastly different from those of the local residents, not to mention the respect of the society. There is no such thing at all.

Therefore, Edmund thought that Lyman was very thoughtful.

Equality, after talking about it for so many years, is society truly equal?

No, but it doesn't prevent Lehmann from speaking like this as a filmmaker. He still uses the most subtle forms of nobles and black servants to advocate, rationalize and respect.

And it still uses the light-hearted plot of shaking the burden, laughing and letting people accept similar preaching.

This is very difficult, and it is no wonder that it takes a lot of time to conceive and perfect.

——Well, Edmund thinks more and more.

But this is just a white lie.

After so many days of preparation, Lehmann gradually clarified the filming ideas for this film, and chatting with Edmund, there are many directions to talk about.

For example, some very French jokes, "You can't eat chocolate without arms." - To the effect of being willful and not rewarding, it is usually the words parents teach their children.

In the preliminary plan, Lehmann planned to participate in the opening ceremony, decide the award, and complete the work he promised the organizing committee to officially start.

The film's budget was not high, only 12 million US dollars - the original cost only 9.5 million euros, which roughly translates to 1.034 US dollars.

After all, the whole plot scene is very simple, there are only three main actors, the rich Philip, the poor Dreis and Philip's mansion housekeeper.

And the butler's scene is concentrated in the presence of the two leading actors, which is a scene shot in a unified scene.

Hearing Lehman's plan, Edmund asked curiously, "Who are you going to cast that rich man."

"François Cruceet, do you know him?" Lehmann asked with a smile.

Edmund thought about it seriously and replied, "The one who collaborated with Isabelle Adjani in "A Dead Summer"? I seem to have heard, can he really do it? I think this role has a lot of room for performance. Yes, ordinary people can't stand the show."

Lehman didn't speak, and handed over a videotape, "This is the work "The Apprentice" he participated in in 1996 when he was 41 years old. The image in it fits Philip's setting very well. As for his acting skills, he has been nominated for the best male Caesar Award many times. For him, although it is a challenge, it is also the best stage to perform. I think he is competent."

Edmund didn't say anything else. He took the video and said, "Unfortunately, I don't know any Algerian actors. Otherwise, I can recommend one to you. As for this one, I'll contact you."

"thanks......"

Edmund interrupted: "It's just a little help. I still hope that you can make more similar films. Over the years, we have rarely made any good results, and the film market is getting lower and lower. It's all washed away by other countries' films. That's not a good thing."

The international momentum of French films is becoming more and more bleak, and people in the entire industry are affected. As a member of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee, Edmund is of course worried.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why he is in such a hurry.

Moreover, when "Untouchable" is filmed, what substantial benefits can he get?

It's not fair, he doesn't need help at all.

After sending Edmund away, Lehman continued to perform his business, brushing films and socializing every day, and in North America, "Breaking Bad" also officially began its pilot broadcast on Fox TV.

......

May 13, Saturday.

In the morning, in the old city of New Mexico, "Breaking Bad" is still busy shooting. Although the TV series will premiere tonight, they still have to continue to shoot the following plot materials to avoid the follow-up. Good gear.

Bryan has an iconic beard, wears a large coat, and bares his upper body to make a new and purified product. Of course, during the filming, he used candy props to act as a candy prop. It just looks like it, and eating it has no effect on the actors.

After a set of scenes was filmed, after finishing today's scene, director Mark Tetotu ordered to assemble the next day, and then disbanded the crew.

In a blink of an eye, everyone dispersed, and it seemed that their minds were disturbed.

Mark smiled, turned around and went back to the hotel, turned on the TV and locked the Fox channel.

For his first official drama, he is also inexplicable.

......

Since the Fox TV network broke through the three old TV networks in the 1990s, it has also fixed a large number of audiences. They belong to the kind of hard-core TV fans who just take a look at everything~www.readwn.com~ And then, Firefly relies on "Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead" have also laid a foundation for a large number of fans. Although there is no such thing as a must-have pornographic boutique produced by HBO, it makes people believe the strength of this producer.

Even if there are some controversies and doubts ahead, most people still watch the drama first while watching the TV.

Does spraying also pay attention to a rational method?

As for Fox TV, it also attaches great importance to it, and directly gave it the prime time on Saturday, which is to broadcast at 8 o'clock.

You must know that this is the first-class window resource. Generally, new dramas are broadcast on Friday when they are free. It doesn't look like this will be specially vacated.

It can be seen that Fox is also a signboard in the field of TV dramas that recognize Firefly, which is not in vain.

"It's about to start, come quickly."

In a community building in Los Angeles, a young man shouted.

In the room, a girl ran out and leaned against the young man.

Oh, couple viewers.

These two are also fans of Firefly, and they usually watch HBO. This time, Baba locked on Fox for the new drama.
