Legendary Hollywood Director

Edmund's admiration is justified.

Untouchable is really cleverly conceived.

Perhaps non-French filmmakers will only say that the film is well done and good enough, but if you look closely at the cultural background, you can find the true ambition of the film.

Because Deres in the film, the poor black guy, 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 boycott.

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.

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

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 Free 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 symbol, to tell that history.

But, 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 Algerians or mixed with French descendants.

Because of that colonial history, the degree of integration between 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, with both hatred and recognition, and as long as immigration, the first choice will always be France.

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

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 felt that Lehmann was very thoughtful.

Equality has been talked about 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 a light-hearted plot that shakes the burden, laughing and letting people accept similar preaching.

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

—Well, Edmund thinks more and more.

But that's 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 modest, at $12 million -- the original cost only 9.5 million euros, roughly $1.034 per euro.

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 scene of the housekeeper is concentrated in the presence of the two leading actors, which is a scene shot in a unified scene.

Hearing Ryman's plan, Edmund said curiously, Who are you going to cast that rich man.

François Cruze, 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 there is a lot of room for this role to perform. Yes, ordinary people can't stand the show.

Lehman didn't speak, and handed over a videotape, This is the work The Apprentice that he participated in at the age of 41 in 1996. 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 said nothing, 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: I can help a little. I still hope that you can make more similar films. Over the years, we have rarely made any good results. 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. Edmund, as a member of the Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival, is of course worried.

Maybe that's why he's in such a hurry.

Moreover, when Untouchable is filmed, what substantial gains 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.

......

Saturday, May 13.

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, so as to avoid the follow-up. Good gear.

Brian has an iconic beard, a coat around him, and his upper body is bare to make a new and purified product. Of course, he used candy props to act as a candy prop during the filming, but it just looks like it, and eating it has no effect on the actors.

After a set of shots was filmed, and after today's scene was completed, 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.

And then, Firefly relies on Prison Break and The Walking Dead to lay a foundation for a large number of drama fans. Although there is no saying that HBO will inevitably produce pornographic and violent boutiques, it also makes people believe in 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 know, this is the first-class window resource. Generally, new dramas will be broadcast on Friday when they are free. It seems that this will be specially vacated.

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

It's about to start, come on.

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 the Fox channel specially for the new drama.
