Chapter 712 Zombie World War

Thanksgiving is approaching, and the first audition of "Fast and Furious 3" crew is over. Gianna-Quan passed it smoothly and was notified by the crew that she doesn't need to participate in the second audition. She will directly come to the crew to participate in the last audition with makeup in mid-December That's it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the new season of "Grey's Anatomy" will not be filmed for the time being, Gianna-Jeon went back to Korea and actively contacted female artists with outstanding appearance through her previous agency.

However, she solemnly told the former brokerage company that those who have undergone major repairs must be avoided, and they should be as natural as possible. Even if they have been knifed, they are still the type of minor repairs like her.

After Jessica Felton returned to Los Angeles from Europe, at the request of Ronan, the crew re-signed a safety agreement with the main actors, restricting them from engaging in dangerous activities such as drag racing during the crew.

Even if every actor has accident insurance, if an accident occurs, the crew will still have considerable trouble, and it is not impossible to be investigated by the actors' union.

Ronan is also taking precautions.

Through contact with Heath Ledger, Ronan understood one thing, some things can not be done if you want to, in the ecological environment of this country and Hollywood, even in his status, interfering with other people's Living freely is still a thankless task.

I work and you get paid, what do I do in my spare time?

This is very common among Hollywood stars.

For some things, it is enough to do it once, and Ronan will not be foolish enough to do it a second time.

Therefore, it is enough to ensure that the actors do not have accidents while working for Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan is just a producer and studio owner, not a nanny.

Besides, Hollywood stars have a million ways to die, do they have to stare at them 24 hours a day?

This safety agreement can basically guarantee that actors will not have major safety problems during their work.

In spare time, the crew can't control it.

This week, George Romero's "Land of the Dead" has also finalized the actors, and the crew will go to Canada after Thanksgiving to start preparations for a series of shooting matters.

George Romero reopened his own zombie road.

Due to the success of "Dawn of the Dead", Hollywood's traditional zombie films are on the rise again. Twentieth Century Fox bought a zombie-themed script called "28 Weeks Later"; -Rodriguez is also preparing to shoot his own zombie and pornography movie; Warner Bros. has purchased the remake copyright of "Zombie Out of the Cage".

Robert Lee specially called Ronan's office because of the theme of zombies.

"Looking at the current trend, zombie movies will become a trend in the future." Robert Lee said: "Although we have obtained the copyright of "The Walking Dead", George Romero is also shooting a new zombie movie, but it is not to increase this point. The copyright reserve in the field?"

Robert Lee has purchased copyrights everywhere in the past few years. With the accumulation of experience, his vision has gradually become sharper.

The theme of zombies, which has already declined, will indeed become an important force in the film and television market in the future. Ronan is very aware of this, and asked, "Have you discovered anything? Do you have any good works to recommend?"

Robert Lee took out a few pages of copy paper and handed it to Ronan. Ronan took it and looked at it. There were slightly messy handwriting on it, which was obviously copied from a manuscript.

"This is..." Ronan glanced quickly.

Robert Lee explained: "Don't worry, it's with the permission of the author, as long as it doesn't go out."

Ronan nodded slowly, and continued to flip through a few pages of copy paper.

"When we promoted the movie, we used "The Zombie Survival Manual." Robert Lee briefly introduced: "The author of "The Zombie Survival Manual" is Max Brooks, the director of "Robin Hood Is Crazy" and "Vampires Are Crazy" Son of Mel Brooks, I have just handed you the manuscript that Max Brooks has just begun to work on."

He thought for a while, and then said: "A few days ago, I met Max Brooks at a party, because I have been in charge of the company's copyright business. He took the initiative to find me and chatted with me about his new work. I took a look at it. , I find it interesting."

Ronan finished browsing quickly, collected the manuscript and returned it to Robert Lee, saying, "It's really interesting."

These few pages are written about the framework of the novel. Human beings are facing the greatest extinction crisis in the theme of zombies. The zombie epidemic is spreading around the world. As the hero, the United Nations investigator goes to the source of the virus to find a way to resolve the crisis.

Looking back, Ronan felt that this setting was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Reminiscent of Max Brooks' identity as the son of a Hollywood director, it is estimated that it should have been adapted into a movie.

Ronan asked, "Just started writing?"

Robert Lee replied: "The setting and framework are done, and the official content is only written at the beginning. Max Brooks said that he wants to continue to revise, so I didn't want it."

Ronan nodded slowly, and asked again: "Has Max Brooks confirmed the name of the work?"

"I'm sure." Robert Lee replied, "I heard him mention it, saying it was called ".z"."

The reaction in Ronan's mind was the Chinese translation of "World War Zombies"?

No, it should be called "Zombie World War", or "Zombie World War"!

That movie with Brad Pitt? The one where zombies run faster than rabbits! It seems to have been clamoring for a sequel, waiting for Brad Pitt's schedule.

Ronan remembered some related memories. It is said that in order to shoot the sequel, Brad Pitt specially invited David Fincher as the director.

In this way, the previous film at least did not fail.

Hollywood studios pursue profits when they make films. If a film cannot bring benefits, it will never launch a sequel.

Thinking of this, Ronan said to Robert Lee: "You talk to Max Brooks, it's best to get the film and television adaptation rights before the novel is released."

Robert Lee responded, "Okay."

He didn't stay long, and quickly left Ronan's office.

Robert Lee had just left, and Ronan received a call from David Fincher. He and Lindsay Bill were both optimistic about an actress, Rachel McAdams from Canada, and the audition results were also good. good.

Ronan thought about it for a while, and felt that this candidate was not bad, so he gave an affirmative reply.

Rachel McAdams was helpless in Hollywood. She came to Hollywood a few years before becoming famous, and finally returned to Canada as a loser. After a few years, she came back again and was successful.

In most cases, it is not easy for such a helpless actress to get mixed up in Hollywood.

After carefully studying the information of Hollywood's newly-famous stars in recent years, it is not difficult to find that many of them are either graduated from professional film and television schools, or are inextricably related to this circle.

To be precise, the proportion of the second generation of stars and the second generation surrounding the Hollywood industry among the emerging actors in Hollywood is increasing year by year.

They naturally have various advantages, and can be supported by all aspects of the network of contacts. This road is much smoother than ordinary people.

Of course, there are opportunities for the helpless, and the best ladder to climb is there.

If you catch it, you will become famous in one fell swoop, and your investment will be rewarded.

Some things about Rachel McAdams are not secrets in the Hollywood circle, and there are even rumors among the entertainment media.

Rachel McAdams has a good public image for fans and the media, fresh and sunny, like a school goddess, but she has a coquettish side secretly, which fits the heroine's personality very well.

She is like a goddess in front of people, but behind her...

The sweet and sexy Rachel McAdams is relatively okay, maybe not as good as Natalie Portman, but better than Jessica Alba.

Originally, Marvel Entertainment and Kevin Feige wanted to invite Rachel McAdams to play the role of Pepper in "Iron Man", but Rachel McAdams turned it down because of the comic book superhero movie.

Unexpectedly, she participated in the audition for "girl" later.

Maybe this kind of role can help her win awards.

Many actors will face this kind of choice, should they come first with awards or business?

The former Rachel McAdams made a foolish move in Marvel. In the early years, he refused the more important peppers. Later, his development was not smooth. Seeing the amazing popularity of the Marvel series of movies, he spent a lot of effort and got the role and Christine Palmer with less weight.

According to the news from Lindsay Beal, Rachel McAdams worked hard to get the leading actress in "girl" and was willing to pay only $500,000.

This is a very smart actress, and with the fact that she has worked with Ronan many times, it is obvious that the film is aimed at awards season.

In order to compete for awards, many actors often take the initiative to lower their social status when they choose low-budget films.

Rachel McAdams was willing to take the initiative to reduce the film salary, and of course the crew had no reason to refuse, and formal negotiations between the two parties began soon.

David Fincher's filming pace is very slow. It took more than half a year from early planning to pre-production, but it will take several months to enter the shooting stage.

This is also his consistent style. David Fincher is a typical example of slow work and meticulous work. He is not a prolific director, and he usually only has a film in four years or so.

Think about Spielberg, at the peak of his creation, he made two films a year.

Thanksgiving is coming, and the North American film market has become very crowded. After a large-scale publicity, "Night at the Museum" will also open in North America. We look forward to bringing festival happiness to the audience in the form of family reunion.

In addition, films such as Warner Bros.' epic masterpiece "Alexander the Great", Universal Pictures' "Bj's Single Diary 2" and Miramax's "Spring of the Cowherd Class" purchased at the Toronto Film Festival are also sharpening their knives. , ready to risk a big cake for the Thanksgiving schedule.
