Chapter 7 Adapting the Script

Lehman sat at the desk with his legs crossed, with messy paper piled up around him, and there were many words on a thick stack of messy white paper.

Writing a script is not an easy task, never, and Lehman has a clear understanding of this.

Three days have passed since I confirmed the movie I was going to shoot that day.

During these three days, Lehman stayed in the room every day and did this, but he still encountered many difficulties. The script was written very badly, even though Lehman had the memory of the movie in his mind.

He lacks corresponding life experience and social experience.

He neither knew the relevant background of the Iraq War nor the details of life that an American real estate contractor should have. The plot portrayed in this way will inevitably have some logical fallacies. Lehmann did not expect that when the movie was released, he would be ridiculed by the audience and even the common sense problem could be wrong. This is a blasphemy for the art of light and shadow like the movie.

Moreover, the biggest highlight of the movie "Buried Live" is the realism that is so terrifying that it is a little desperate, just as if there is really such a person in the world who is buried alive, and the perception presented to the audience must make them believe that it is true. If even this cannot be done, this movie is a failed work. The sharpness between documentaries and feature films is the most needed feature of this movie.

Maybe he should have asked someone to help. He can still handle the basic framework of the script, but filling in the details is not something that Lehman can do now.

"Ryan, do you have time?"

"Yes, I'm very idle lately." Ryan's voice came out clearly on the phone.

"Then come here to my side. I have something to do and want you to help."

"I'll arrive soon..."

When he encountered difficulties in writing the script, the first thing Lehman remembered was his friend Ryan.

The first directorial debut of his predecessor was the script written by Ryan, who had this ability.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong...Lyman, I'm here." With a knock on the door, the voice of my friend Ryan came from the door.

Lehman opened the door, and Ryan warmly greeted me, "What's the matter with me? Have you figured it out and you're going to go to the beach with me to meet the beautiful girl."

"No, I'll come to you, there's a script that you need to improve." Lehman curled his lips and dispelled Ryan's unreliable idea.

"Script? Are you going to make a movie?" Ryan seemed very confused. Didn't Lyman say he wanted to go to work some time ago, why did he suddenly want to make a movie again?

"Ahem......" Lehmann's face turned red, but he still explained: "I thought about it later and it was still suitable for me to make a movie. I also raised an investment that could be used as fund for the shooting of this new movie."

"How much investment is there? By the way, why don't you look for me when you make a movie? I have money too." Ryan used a series of unique skills in this round, causing 100 points of damage to Lehman.

"450,000 euros." Lehmann answered the previous question first and then continued: "It's not that I don't want to find you, but that making a movie itself means risks. Do you remember how we had nothing last time?"

This sentence did not bring the effect that Lehman imagined. Ryan said with a wicked smile: "You still have any ideas about this matter, right? I have said that it has failed once, don't take it to heart. People, there will always be times when they are unsuccessful, so why should you mind? Do you think you are very sorry for me? Did you say it?"

"Get out." Leman frowned, and found that things were not simple, so he quickly shouted and made a big splash.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Take the script and let me see what kind of story you want to tell." Ryan said while walking inward: "If the money is low, tell me at any time that I am the screenwriter of this film and I have the obligation to make this movie."

The screenwriter of God tm is also obliged to make good movies, and Lehman couldn't help but be amused by Ryan's words.

Looking at his figure, Lehman was convinced that this was a person who was really good to Lehman and a real "friend".

After coming to the study, Ryan picked up the script on the table, and had already completed more than half of it, and began to read it carefully. Lehman sat quietly next to him, restraining himself from making any noise to disturb others' thoughts.

After a long time, Ryan put down the script and said, "Will this story be too monotonous?" This was the first time he saw a movie with only one main character and most of the scenes were in the same space. When he was in college, the professor who taught him also said that one-man show is the most difficult to excel in all movie types and the most difficult to shoot, but his friend Lehman chose this creative idea.

"Isn't it monotonous? Isn't it a direct view of the director's narrative method? Even if there are many characters, there are also monotonous and boring works with stories." The confidence in the words is clear at a glance.

In fact, Ryan just asked, he respected Lehman's opinion very much about creating movies. The plot concepts of his first work were mostly derived from Lehman. He was the person who turned his ideas into words, filled in details, and sorted out logic.

"There is also the Afghan War." After closer inspection, Ryan discovered the background of the movie again.

"Yes, do you have information on this?" Because the original work was filmed a few years later, the Iraq War had already begun, but it is still in 2001. Naturally, the Iraq War cannot be used as the background era of the movie, so Lehmann changed to the Afghan War. Anyway, do these two wars have the shadow of the United States? The plot of the protagonist being an American real estate contractor being attacked abroad seems very reasonable. Who made you an American?

"I don't know much about this, but my mentor probably has information. I'll ask him when the time comes." Ryan immediately thought of a solution. He then asked, "How do you want to complete the plot of the entire work?"

"I want to show all the complex psychological changes that the protagonist breeds in desperate situations, from confusion to struggle, to self-denial, pain, despair, and finally to do his best to survive. Therefore, more details and words are needed to establish the image of the character, so that the audience can have a clear three-dimensional sense of the character, and be able to experience the entire process of change in the middle, and empathize with it."
