Another weekend passed, September 17, cloudy.

A while ago, Netflix's slippery collapse incident was like a gust of wind. Apart from leaving a little scar and wreckage, it was difficult for outsiders to discuss it again.

Time is good. As long as many things pass, there doesn’t seem to be much need to maintain stability in public opinion. However, from the recent recent contacts between Netflix’s copyright owners, film companies, and Wall Street brands such as Dune Entertainment and Relativity Entertainment, it can be seen that the huge losses brought by this wave may still take a long time to make up for.

In the film market, "Sparta 2" won $93.59 million in North America with its fierce firepower, but it dropped below 3 million on the weekend, and consumed most of its box office potential in just 17 days.

If you just stay like this, I guess if you pass the 100 million threshold before you finish the painting, there will be no room for you;

As for overseas, it is better. After all, it is also a fine art film that has spent a lot of money. At this time, the total amount has exceeded 130 million. In some regions, they can maintain the top three in the weekly list and continue to harvest box office.

In addition, the global box office of "Captain America 2" is 683 million, which is about to exceed the 700 million mark, and the situation is very good.

When Joseph came in, he had just put down his box office report.

"It's the promotional itinerary of Godzilla soon? Boss, what do you think?"

Lehman was half lying on the boss's chair and yawned when he heard this, "It's that way, you won't lose, but you won't make much money. My purpose in this series is to expand the Asian market and establish connections between the marketing area and those local major manufacturers."

There is really nothing to say about this kind of high-intensity publicity. It is nothing more than spending money on various media to push it, and it is also the cooperative allies who are more concerned about it and have various soft articles.

Joseph nodded, handed over several documents and signed them, and then went to work on his own affairs.

Lehman turned on the TV and browsed Fox's news station at will.

One time it was finance, the other time it was the stock market news. After a long time, another incident happened in Georgia was reported. Perhaps a white policeman was suspected of excessive law enforcement during law enforcement. A Mexican was sneaky and fled while parking to check. He was knocked down by the police with an electric gun. As a result, the person did not commit a crime and did not carry contraband on the car.

When the host slightly extended this matter and skipped it, Lehman was speechless.

This is really hard to say. Many people only see all kinds of broken things by American police, but they don’t know that there is a deep chain of suspicion in the execution of justice in the United States. Both sides do not trust each other. The lower the level, the more they are. It is easier to understand the current social mentality in this example.

Minorities often hear about the injustice of law enforcement, and because their skin color is afraid of being "framed" by the police, they are sternly drunk, and are afraid of being fatal and prone to excessive behavior;

The same is true for police. There are no fewer people who are injured or even shot during law enforcement. In such an environment where gun control is not strict enough, people who are not doing well may easily make associations, or in order to protect their own safety, they may simply relieve the other party's danger first.

This chain of suspicion is the root cause of this incident.

After reading this report, I remembered more similar things, "I't breathe" and so on. Lehman joked with Ryan on the phone: "It's better to say that it's a system and environment problem than blame the American police. Using violence is inherently backfiring by violence. Of course, institutional issues need to be worried about the White House. What I can do is to write a book about the police's execution of justice."

"It's not true, good and beautiful, it's essentially... hey, it can guide you to vent your emotions."

"Haha, didn't those politicians comment that movies and TV dramas are all fun? What's wrong with **joy? Some people are under great pressure."

"I just want to make people feel excited and earn money. Just say whether the topic of the police-bandit film theme is OK."

"The subject matter is no problem, the audience is very wide, but how to do the framework?" Lehman said, "Why do I feel that the framework is very simple? Wait for me to sort out the outline and I will talk to you."

At night, in the study of the Rust Manor.

A desk, a chair, a cup of coffee, and a person.

Eva went shopping in Paris, and Lehman was alone and quietly pondering the plot against the blank documents.

First of all, is it necessary to punish evil? This is the core of the police-bandit film and the most critical contradiction and opposition point. But if you take the time to think about it, you can make the audience feel angry and feel a sense of justice, which can bring the protagonist into the role of the public policeman and get emotional venting. There are routines to follow.

Are types of films? They are always in line with their essence. The elements included in each subject generally have their own characteristics. They are nothing more than exploring their core positioning while sorting out the story and serving the subject.

For example, "The Stupid Thief" with a little comedy color; "The Story of Fire" with a little thriller; "The Robotic Men" series with a little science fiction, etc. In essence, it emphasizes the sense of identity while exercising justice and fighting crime.

Of course, what Lehman wants to write is not the directions mentioned above, it is a bit similar to "The Story of Fire", but the crime in "The Story of Fire" is a bit romantic - when director Michael Mann filmed this classic, he portrayed the temperament and emotional loneliness of everyone, including the criminal, too subtle, and it is very manly, but lacks a little bit of comfort to hit bad people.

In other words, the characters that "The Story of Fire" are not all portrayed by the police, which makes the bad guys look bad enough. Although it strengthens the drama, the actors perform more well and creates a strong and opposing texture, but it is not what Leman wants at this time.

What does he want?

Focus on the difficulty of law enforcement at the bottom, focus on the carefree and carelessness of bad guys doing evil, and then defeat the bad guy who was erected in advance to achieve emotional ups and downs.

If he was 5 years ago, he would definitely not think so when facing such a direction. Even if he filmed a police-bandit film and focused on the bottom-level law enforcement, the final outcome would be that the bad guy used his own influence or financial resources to play with the protagonist, causing the protagonist's family to be destroyed, and the protagonist's family to be destroyed. In essence, it is mainly based on the mockery system and is more literary and artistic, but it is difficult for him to care about whether it is literary or not, whether it is profound or not.

At the core, he really wants to shoot some works with connotation, but he is by no means to raise it up to fully explore the darkness of human nature.

Discussing less heavy topics can be said to be what he has been doing in recent years. It can also be said that if you have nothing to do, think about the direction of Marvel's production and pay attention to the feedback from Marvel fans, it has greatly influenced him about the narrative techniques.

He no longer cares so much about the reviews of film critics, nor does he care so much about the awards, but is narrating purely for how to narrate it.

The more clear the topic, the more you take care of the audience threshold.

So, carefully sorting out the film effect you want, a very simple storyline came out - a little policeman defeated the villain of a rich family.

Once this kind of movie that is sent to prison for "being rich and unkind" is well made, it is easy to burst into an unparalleled craze, sweeping over workers, peasants, and students.

Why?

Because the characters like Huang Shiren hate them all over the world, this caters to a certain kind of moral needs of the people.

If the world is worse, the better the person will be able to have a good ending. Doesn’t it mean that the order has collapsed?

Time passes by little by little.

The document is finally no longer blank.

"Young Master Zhao will pay for the purchase tonight."

...

The film is called "Big Man", but the protagonist is focused on is a small person.

Of course, it is not the bald version, but the original version adapted, "The Veteran".

It was released in South Korea and won the weekly box office championship for three consecutive weeks, with a total of 13.4 million viewers and a cumulative box office of 89.77 million US dollars, becoming the first in the year and third in the history of the box office - second only to "The Battle of the Mingliang" and "International Market" ("International Market" is somewhat similar to the Korean version of "Forrest Gump").

Three days later, the script summary was handed over to Ryan.

"Well, it's a very simple theme. Then... how do I need to portray the character?"

"A middle-aged policeman with a trivial family and a little unhappy career; a middle-aged policeman who was born with a golden key in his arms, and he never had to panic about money in his life. He pretended to be well-behaved in front of his father, but he was actually a scum full of bad water, and even a little psychologically distorted villain. In addition to these two roles with many scenes, he also beats the police officer who doesn't want to offend the taxpayer; an assistant who sweeps the tail of the young master; a direct boss who supports his subordinates, and a family that is not warm but decent."

"By the way, in order to make the story and ending more reasonable, we can also arrange a new commander who has long wanted to take action against the chaebol." Lehman smiled and said, "I am not satirizing the current person, but I just don't endorse the chaebol with the chaebol without the instructed power of the upper level. The male protagonist seems to have no chance to collide with the anti-angle head-on, so he can create some reasonable search for clues and collect evidence for his political endorsement."

"If I want to see, this chaebol can be described by Samsung." Ryan also complained.

"A good idea. Anyway, it's artistic processing. Just change the corresponding role and region to America."

"Are there any other points to pay attention to?" Ryan asked responsibly as a qualified detail filling tool.

"There is nothing to pay too much attention. This story is not complicated and the narrative is quite straightforward. As long as you portray the characters and environment in place, it will be OK to be able to motivate emotions."

"Okay, do you have a favorite actor?" Ryan continued to ask.

"I'm a middle-aged policeman, I'm inclined to play Cage. I'll wait for you to complete the script and send him a copy."

Although the theme of "Big Man" is very clear, the demand for acting is very high. If you want to create a character, it is difficult for this movie to tolerate a bastard.

Cage's performance in "Face Change" is enough to support the role of the original Korean version of Hwang Jung-min. Both of them are slender and emotional, and each character can bring different freshness to the audience. Moreover, Cage has been doing a little unsatisfactory recently. Actors of his age generally are going downhill. This is not good, so we should give him more room to play.

"Okay, I'm going to visit the set of Game of Thrones in a few days. I'll leave the script to you. I'll help me make an appointment with Cage's schedule."
