Introduction to famous screenwriters and works

Paul haggis paul haggis

Paul haggis, a screenwriter and director, was born in March 1953 in Ontario. He grew up under the influence of Hitchcock and Jean-Luc Ge Daer, which was his early motivation for infatuation with art and storytelling. Later, influenced by antonioni's Magnification (1966), he moved to England and decided to become a fashion photographer, but he returned to Fanxiao College to study film. At that time, Haggis was trying to write a script for his father who was engaged in highway construction. /kloc-When he was 0/9 years old, he finished his debut and put it on the stage of the local theater. Although the response of the play was mediocre, it strengthened Haggis' ideal of life. A few years later, with the support of his father, he left his hometown at the age of 22 and came to Hollywood with his playwright dream.

The days when I first arrived in Hollywood were very hard. Haggis worked as a furniture porter, worked as an indoor photographer in a department store and had classes at night. He was finally selected by Jack Humphrey of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to write a script for the series Hangin' In. Later, while studying a writing course, Haggis met a friend who had just broken up with his partner. He was the screenwriter of Different strokes. Haggis wrote a script for the program released the next day for free, which was favored by the screenwriter. So the screenwriter wants Haggis to work for him. In exchange, Haggis can get a sofa with cushions. Today, this sofa still lies in Haggis's office, symbolizing a turning point in his career.

Haggis soon became the screenwriter of Diff'rent Strokes, and took over the scriptwriting of another series One Footprint a Day (CBS, 1975- 1984). Once beheaded for this series, he became depressed and even became the screenwriter and executive producer of the youth drama Facts of Life (NBC, 1979- 1988) which he hated. A year later, Haggis was fired because he suggested that the company make the program more interesting. Here, Haggis learned all the necessary elements of making a program from production, editing to getting along with the screenwriter, which played an important role in his later career. At the same time, he also wrote "Who is the boss?" (ABC, 1984- 1992) and "Law of Los Angeles" (NBC, 1986- 1994). Haggis was later discovered by producers Ed Zwick and Mark Herskovitz, and was invited to join the screenwriter and producer of the one-hour drama The Third Thing (ABC, 1987- 199 1). Despite criticism, Thirty Years Old won several awards after the first season, including an Emmy Award and a Humanitarian Award from Haggis.

The success of Standing at Thirty gave Haggis a chance to develop his own style (dark, complex and vague). He created the political satire "City" (CBS, 1989- 1990), describing a single mother who can now play tricks. Although it received a certain degree of praise, the play was finally forced to stop broadcasting because of its dark tone. Later, another TV series "Due South" (1994- 1996) was filmed, which tells the story of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police who went to Chicago alone to find his father's murderer and finally stayed in Chicago to help the local police fight crime. Once again, the play proved to be a boring work. Although other companies, including TNT and CTV Canada, later broadcast the TV series, it still failed to attract too many viewers.

Haggis became famous as the producer of the action drama "Texas Mounted Police Walker" (CBS, 1992-200 1). Perhaps in order to fully control the process of a drama, Haggis created "Ez Streets》(CBS, 1996- 1997), a TV drama about the lives of police and people sentenced by both ends of the law. Haggis advocates artistic control, but his pursuit of super-moral character and the combination of rigid film photography and Celtic music are doomed to fail again. Haggis didn't give up. He tried another TV series, Family Law (CBS, 1999-2002), which miraculously aired the first season, but finally stopped broadcasting because of the ratings.

From 65438 to 0996, Haggis made his first film. He was both a screenwriter and a director. The story happened in 1959. Four Russian teenagers tried to form the first rock band in the Soviet Union. Eight years later, Haggis made his second film. He adapted F.X. Toole's novel "Rope Burning" into "Million Dollar Baby", which was finally recognized by the Oscar. Although Haggis missed the best adapted screenplay award, he used it to prove his success in another field. His deep friendship with director Clint Eastwood gave him the opportunity to participate in the production of the World War II film The Flag of Our Father. At the same time, Haggis directed Crash, which has a complicated relationship with the characters. This film about race finally put Haggis on the Oscar stage again. Haggis won six nominations at the 78th Academy Awards, including the Best Director Award, and his film career reached an unprecedented peak.

He started his film career on 1945, and the first work of the screenwriter was "G oldenEarrings" starring Marlene Dederry. 1947, his film BodyandSoul Meat, which describes the life of boxers, was nominated for the best screenplay at the Oscar. 1948, his gangster film "ForceofEvil" failed to sell well because of its dark style, but it was later regarded as a classic by film critics and historians. In the early 1950s, Polanski was blacklisted by Hollywood for refusing to associate with the extremist organization HUAC, and was abandoned by major film companies (this experience also made him make enemies with director Arya Kazan). In the days when he was banned, his only collision with the film was 1959' s "OddsAgainstTomorrow" written anonymously. It was not until 1968 that Polanski was allowed to return to the film industry, but only a few films such as madigan and Tell them Willie is here (starring robert redford) were filmed. In his later years, he devoted himself to film teaching. Before his death, he taught screenwriting at the University of Southern California.
