Chapter 647 Lost

"This seems like a story of survival on a deserted island, right?" Jeff Abrams said very firmly: "Actually, it's not!"

The main plot told by Jeff Abrams just now has given Ronan a very familiar feeling, and some less profound memories seem to have been touched.

But he needs more time to recall, more information to confirm.

So, Ronan didn't interrupt.

Jeff Abrams made gestures and said, "Before I wrote the main plot, I determined a basic principle! This TV series project must deny all inherent thinking of traditional desert island survival stories. So It's definitely not going to be a modern Robinson Crusoe."

Ronan nodded slowly, and more memories emerged. An American TV series he had watched once seemed to be like this.

He didn't watch that American drama much, and he didn't remember it very deeply. After all, the Hollywood works he paid more attention to at that time were movies.

Jeff Abrams glanced at Ronan and continued: "I decided to inject supernatural elements. The island in the story will have mysterious powers, such as curing paralysis, cancer, and even bringing people back to life. "

Ronan answered at this time: "These new elements are really conducive to making the plot jump out of the old-fashioned desert island survival."

"Actually, I think more and further." Jeff Abrams seemed inspired: "If the project can be filmed, I plan to add some elements involving time travel, butterfly effect, and serial conspiracy in the future." .”

Ronan laughed and said, "That's a good idea."

Jeff Abrams rubbed his nose and said: "These ideas can only be realized if the first season can be filmed and succeeded."

Ronan said: "Do you have time and energy recently?"

Jeff Abrams understood the meaning of this, and said: "The preparations for "Taken 2" are basically almost done, and I can get out temporarily when the actors are in place."

Ronan said directly: "The outline of the script, the setting of the main characters, and a specific episode of the script, and a preliminary plan, all of them will be handed over to me."

"No problem." Jeff Abrams agreed without hesitation.

Ronan asked again: "Have you considered naming this project?"

"Not before,

But now there is. "Jerry Abrams said with a smile: "Just now I thought of a name, "Lost"!" right! It is "Lost". "

He instantly became a literary youth: "A group of people are lost on a small island in the middle of the sea, but in fact this drama is a metaphor for those people who are lost in their own lives. Seeking redemption, finding the meaning and purpose of life, this show represents a certain spirit, and really explores the fateful journey of the characters."

Ronan knew very well that Jeff Abrams was a highly commercial director, and he was not worried that he would go crazy.

The name "Lost" is also equated with some memories that I finally recalled.

For the American drama "Lost", what Ronan recalled was Survival on a Deserted Island, as well as the older heroine, especially the heroine who gave him the deepest memory, because this heroine later starred in Peter Jackson's "Huo Tauriel, the original female elf character in Bitman, later joined the Marvel Superhero series and became the Wasp.

This show must have been successful, because Ronan watched the first season and the fifth season. The reason why he was able to pay attention to "Lost" was because there was news hype on the Internet at the time, saying that "Lost" created ABC TV station. A series of viewing records.

I may have seen other cases, but I almost forgot about them.

However, these are enough for Ronan to make a judgment and choose to support Jeff Abrams.

Looking back now, if he hadn’t brought Jeff Abrams to direct and shoot the "Taken" series, maybe "Lost" would have come out in the cooperation between Jeff Abrams and other companies up.

Is this killing two birds with one stone?

Jeff Abrams is a very strong executive director, and immediately said: "I will submit it to you this month."

Ronan nodded: "I'll take a look at the plan first. If it meets the company's requirements, I will promote your new project after "Taken 2" is over. Jeff, I still need you as a producer by then."

This kind of attention made Jeff Abrams feel quite good, and said: "No problem. Ronan, trust me, and I will continue to bring you success."

Jerry Abrams has proven his ability, and Ronan has confidence in that.

Episodes and movies are the key to the future development of Netflix's streaming media. Only by continuously releasing new content can it attract more users.

The development speed of Netflix was not as fast as that of Relativity Entertainment. When Ronan returned to the office, he still recalled several key points when Netflix changed to streaming media. Some of them might be useful Today's Netflix.

For example, "House of Cards" that made Netflix streaming a big hit.

The relevant plot and character settings have been handed over to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment. There is a team dedicated to creating scripts, but Ronan always feels a little uneasy because he remembers that "House of Cards" was an adaptation. And the original came out many years before.

However, Ronan has made many inquiries in the United States, but he has not seen any works about President Kinoshita.

Although Hollywood is sometimes strong and domineering, it is troublesome if copyright disputes really arise, especially in the Hollywood industry.

The screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment has completed nearly half of the script for the first season. They fully respect Yu Luonan's request and firmly reflect the dark side of politics and the media. In the future, the characters in the play will basically not have good people. The political ecosystem in Washington must be dirty and full of conspiracy.

Hollywood filming works about the Washington authorities, of course, must go all the way to the end.

The characters are fictional anyway.

The media and the audience are also happy to hear it. As long as it does not involve a specific person or event, Washington will not take care of it.

There are too many Hollywood works to discredit Washington.

The director must be David Fincher, who is currently cooperating with Relativity Entertainment until he completes the film project in hand.

For the project written by Lindsay Beal, the preparation progress is relatively slow, and David Fincher is also constantly discussing the project with Lindsay Beal.

Strictly speaking, the script at that time was only a first draft. Ronan's opinion at the time was to wait for the director to be in place, and then let Lindsay Bill make adjustments based on the specific situation of the director.

There is no doubt about David Fincher's ability. Whether it is this film project or "House of Cards", it is not a very difficult challenge for him.

As for the male protagonist of "House of Cards", the famous acting school Kevin Spacey used to play the role. Ronan was somewhat suspicious. Kevin Spacey's ability was definitely not a problem, but later when the Mitu movement rose, it fell down. Big mold.

It seems that Jeff Abrams has also been attacked by Mi Tuo, and the person who attacked him seems to be the heroine of "Lost".

The old-fashioned actress denounced Abrams for forcing her to shoot sex scenes in a certain film, for having very disrespectful behavior towards her, etc., all kinds of misery for herself...

No one knows exactly what happened.

The incident didn't blow up, because the actress soon began working with Walt Disney, and Jerry Abrams was one of Walt Disney's key co-directors.

Jeff Abrams was lucky to have a certain amount of influence, and the behemoth Walt Disney stood behind him.

In contrast, Kevin Spacey is much more unlucky.

At that time, Netflix did not have enough voice in Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry. During the period when Mitu was almost crazy, it could not keep Kevin Spacey at all. In the end, it could only choose to sacrifice President Kinoshita.

Thinking of this, Ronan decided to use Kevin Spacey. After all, Relativity Entertainment is not the Netflix it used to be, and this series will take about two years to launch at the earliest. By then, Relativity Entertainment will have a greater influence.

By the time the Mitus are crazy, Relativity Entertainment may already be a colossus.

Besides, if it doesn't work, you can also make a choice similar to Netflix, and the female president is also in line with the trend.

Ronan can feel the changes in the social environment, especially the more obvious changes in Hollywood. Perhaps looking back decades later, the Mitu Sports will become a landmark event in Hollywood in this era.

It has profoundly changed the survival rules of this industry, and even the style of film shooting and production has changed.

If you don't listen to me, if you don't comply with my request, you just don't respect me, if you don't respect me, you're discrimination, you're the public enemy of the whole society...

This set of rules of conduct also bears the extremely obvious brand of American hegemony.

Due to copyright considerations, Ronan approached Robert Lee and asked him to send someone to Shahai Entertainment's screenwriter department to contact the "House of Cards" team and search for related works.

This time, it is no longer limited to North America, but cooperates with the branches of Embassy Pictures scattered all over the world to find related copyright content.

If it is not found in North America, it may be an overseas work.

It doesn't matter if it's a work from a small country or region, but if it's a work from five friends in the English-speaking area, there will definitely be copyright disputes in the future.

The embassy film industry is currently extremely busy with business. This summer, two films have been released in a row, and there is another film to be released.

Reaper 3, directed by James Wong, will be released in North America on the second weekend of July.

The sequel to this hit horror movie has aroused the expectations of a large number of "Reaper fans".

In addition to "Reaper 3", Relativity Entertainment also has a film released this month, "Batman: Beginning of War" in cooperation with Warner Bros.
