Chapter 103 101 Zombies Are Coming

Chapter 103 Zombies are coming

Gal Gadot's apartment.

As Judy and Bar Refaeli left, Eric was the only one left in the living room.

Turn on the TV and jump to the HBO channel. It's only 7:40 now, and there are still 20 minutes before "The Walking Dead" starts.

Looking at the water cup on the table and the obvious red lip print on the edge of the water cup, Eric picked it up and walked to the kitchen.

Swish

Turn on the faucet to rinse it clean, and then nodded with satisfaction. When you don't like someone, often everything about him is wrong, and you will hate even the good side of the other person.

After doing all this, it took only 2 minutes. Eric sat on the sofa, looking at the Nokia in his hand, and couldn't help missing the smart phones of later generations.

In the mobile phone war of later generations, Apple is of course the one who laughs last.

As a Chinese, although Eric doesn't have a good impression of Apple, he has to admit that it is absolutely the only one in the world.

However, Apple mobile phones have not yet risen, and Nokia is still the big brother in the industry.

Although this time is not the best opportunity to buy Apple stocks, it is still suitable.

Unfortunately, Eric's available funds are really stretched, and there is no extra money to buy stocks, especially after the last conversation with his father, he felt the other's difficulties.

MGM now has more than a dozen projects launched at the same time, even if there are many low-cost horror films, even if the film is not invested in all costs at one time, but it is still very stressful.

Especially among them are big productions such as "Transformers" and "Frozen" with an investment of more than 500 million US dollars. In another month, the second payment to Weta Digital will be tens of millions of dollars.

There are also bank debts. At present, 50 million US dollars of principal has been repaid, but the interest is still huge. By June, it will be time to repay the second quarter interest.

Eric now has little to mortgage. The most valuable is Hasbro's 16% stake. To be precise, part of it has been used for loans, otherwise he and Elena have been taken to court by JPMorgan Chase.

In principle, it is possible to continue to mortgage the remaining part, but the total loan is not a good idea. This thing is like smoking opium. The more you smoke, the more addicted you become. The bank will not give you money for free.

The second way to relieve the financial pressure as soon as possible is to re-list, but after discussing with my father, both of them think that now is not a good time. As long as it can last until the release of "Transformers", MGM's market value will at least double.

Money! Poor!

So don't envy those who drive Mercedes-Benz, maybe he bought it with a loan.

"Eric, what time is it?"

Gadot walked out of the bathroom. She was wearing a bathrobe and some wet hair was draped over her shoulders.

The picture of a beauty coming out of the bath, even without makeup, she is still very beautiful, especially the pure breath, which makes her exude temptation.

"Let me see, there are still 2 minutes until 8 o'clock."

"What! Then I don't have time to blow dry my hair."

"Just go ahead and blow dry it, beautiful lady. Although I can't wait to hug you, I also heard that wet hair makes women uncomfortable."

Gadot laughed: "But I don't want to miss the show. The beginning is very important. If you skip it, you will miss the key information."

Eric pointed at himself: "Look here, look who I am, baby. The person sitting on your sofa is the screenwriter and producer of "The Walking Dead". If you want, I can get the content of the next few episodes now."

"Hahahaha, you're right. How could I forget your identity? Okay, then I'm going to blow dry my hair first, and you can tell me the plot later."

The sound of a hair dryer sounded in the bedroom, and Eric's eyes shifted to the TV screen.

With the roar of a yellow lion, the plot officially began.

In the small town, a police car parked on the side of the road, and the male protagonist Rick was chatting with his colleague Sean.

The content of the chat was mainly about family. Rick said that his relationship with his wife Lori was tense recently. His good friend Sean said that it was nothing. It was common for couples to quarrel and he could help persuade them.

The subsequent plot was changed from the original time and space. In the original time and space, the two police officers intercepted the prisoner's car.

But Eric thought this was too unrealistic. Generally, when encountering such a prisoner fleeing with a gun, at least dozens of police officers would be dispatched, and a ground spike was also very thin.

So it was changed to a patient's family making trouble in the hospital. Rick and Sean went to deal with it, but the other party suddenly took out a hidden dagger and stabbed Rick.

In the hospital, Rick was sent directly to the operating room.

Then there were some memories in a trance. Sean often came to visit him, and he would bring a bouquet of flowers every time. His wife Lori came a few times at the beginning, but she didn't show up later, and even Sean didn't come anymore.

I don't know how long it took, there seemed to be screams and gunshots in my ears. Rick woke up slowly and looked at the withered flowers next to him, which meant that Sean hadn't appeared for a long time.

At this moment, a pair of cool little hands suddenly grabbed Eric's neck from behind: "Zombies are coming!"

Eric raised his head and looked up at the sky: "If all zombies look like you, I think all men in the world hope that the end of the world will come soon. Oh, and Judy."

Gadot giggled a few times, and then kissed Eric.

"Well, although I really want to continue tasting, this posture is not very friendly to the cervical spine."

"So what do you want?" Gadot blinked.

Patting her thighs, the girl sat up obediently, leaning her whole body in Eric's arms, and the two of them half-lying on the sofa.

"OMG! Seeing this environment, I can imagine what kind of disaster this place has experienced.

On the TV screen, as Rick explored the hospital, the surrounding environment appeared in front of the audience.

The corridor was in a mess, the lights flickered, there were broken glass on the floor, and the walls were also bloodstained, but it was obviously dried, and there were still a lot of bullet holes.

It was obvious that there had been a fierce battle here, which corresponded to the shouting and gunshots Rick heard in a trance.

Rick wanted to call, but the signal was interrupted, he could only look aimlessly, everything made him confused.

It also confused the audience, the audience wanted to know why it became like this, and what would happen next.

Just like Gadot, originally The two of them were still drawing circles with each other, but now her hands were no longer moving, and her eyes were attracted by the plot, and all this took less than 3 minutes.

This is the excellence of "The Walking Dead", which is tense and exciting, and can instantly capture the hearts of the audience.

Suddenly, Eric felt his hand being tightly squeezed, because the first corpse had appeared on the TV screen. It was a female corpse that was gnawed to the point that only the skeleton was left, with a little flesh hanging on it, which looked very scary.

This kind of picture is rare even in large-scale movies, and it is very impactful.

If this kind of picture is found in the MPAA review, don't even think about the R rating, and it will most likely be labeled as NC17.

"Gadot, are you scared?" Eric asked softly.

"No, just very nervous, he is going to that door, and it says don't open it! "

Bang, bang, bang!

As if it smelled the breath of a living person, the iron door was banging and making noises. Suddenly, several filthy and rotten hands stretched out from the gap between the iron doors.

Frightened, Rick turned around and left in a hurry. Dragging his weak body, he struggled to walk out of the side door of the hospital.

As soon as the door was opened, a wide-angle lens appeared, and the whole hospital was presented to the audience.

Obviously, some buildings here and around have turned into ruins.

When the camera moved down to the ground, countless white body bags were piled on the ground, and abandoned vehicles were piled up on the ground. Ambulances were parked in disorder, and there were also a lot of corpses piled in the truck bed.

Flies crawled on the corpses, and Rick opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.

This shot was very impactful. Eric was shocked when he saw it at the beginning. The feeling of the end of the world was created instantly.

Looking at Gadot, she frowned and her expression became more nervous.

Then Rick walked to the military camp not far from the hospital. Unfortunately, it was also turned into a ruin, as if it had experienced a war.

"Is the world destroyed?" Gadot looked at Eric and asked.

"Yes, the army is gone, and the world certainly no longer exists. This is originally a story of a survivor's survival. Look, he found a bicycle."

Gadot's attention returned to the TV again. As a result, when Rick was about to ride away on the bicycle, the half-zombie not far away suddenly moved, and let out a low roar and bit him.

Only half of the body instantly gave Gadot a strong shock. She couldn't help but slightly tilt her head: "Eric, how did you shoot this? I feel a little scared. "

"Originally, I wanted to use special effects, but Darabont directly found a dwarf actor, put on makeup and it was like this."

"Well, after listening to you, I don't feel scared anymore."

Then Rick rode a bicycle home, and a sick person rode a bicycle in the end of the world. The contrasting pictures made people smile.

Then they met the Morgan father and son, and the director told the audience about the current situation through them.

Rick began to recover under the care of the Morgan father and son, until the father and son faced the choice of whether to completely kill his mother who had turned into a corpse. The first test of humanity in "The Walking Dead" came.

"Eric, if it really happened to you, what would you do? Can you do it?"

Eric nodded without hesitation: "I have to do it, even if it's the person I love the most."

"Why? Wouldn't you be reluctant? After all, that's your wife or mother!" Gadot frowned.

"Yes, I know, but the dead are gone. Is it good to let them survive in this form? And I have to protect my living family, the living are more important than the dead. "

"If I were a zombie, and I still had my thoughts after the zombie, then I would definitely want to die, as long as I could protect those who were alive."

Gadot climbed onto Eric's neck and kissed his face gently: "I agree with this answer, I would do the same if it were me."

The two lingered for a while, and Rick on TV had brought Morgan and his son to the police station. A hot bath eased the tense plot, and the weapons found in the police station made the protagonist seem less powerless.

On the way to Atlanta, Rick contacted Sean with the car radio, but unfortunately the signal was too poor and they did not recognize each other.

Sean had become the leader of a small team at this time, and the team members also included Rick's wife Lori and son Carl.

Just when the audience thought Sean was a hero who saved his good brother's wife in the apocalypse, he had already rolled with Lori.

Gadot stared at all this, pointed at the TV and asked: "Wait a minute, let me think about it, Rick just took out a photo of his wife, it's this woman, right? That means his wife is with his best brother?"

"Yes, this is the apocalypse. Under the pressure of survival that can die at any time, the shackles of morality have become weaker and weaker."

Gadot shook her head: "These two actors will be criticized badly. The audience will not think so much. Most people can only see what is in front of them."

"Then let them scold. Anyway, a drama always needs villains. You can't let these emotionless zombies be villains."

"You mean, this Sean?"

"I didn't say that. I don't know how Darabont will shoot it."

"But aren't you the screenwriter?"

"I'm kidding you!"

"Damn, you're getting worse and worse, dear."

The time came to 8:50, 10 minutes before the end of the first episode, and the next classic shot appeared.

In the far corner, a man and a horse are riding on the road into Atlanta. On the left are rows of abandoned vehicles, one next to another, very crowded, and there is no end in sight. People who have turned into zombies can be vaguely seen in the car.

On the right is a derailed train, and there are still many broken bones around the train.

After entering Atlanta, the horse, feeling threatened, began to neigh, but this behavior instead provoked the siege of zombies.

Rick rode away on horseback, but met love at the corner, where a whole street of zombies gathered.

After seeing Rick, these zombies rushed over immediately.

Soon, the space for escape was compressed and lost by the tide of zombies. Rick fell off the horse, and the horse was also pounced on and eaten by the zombies.

Facing thousands of zombies, the audience realized that the weapons Rick got from the police station were completely useless.

And these zombies acted very quickly, far from the zombie movies they usually watch.

The atmosphere of despair was full, and Gadot once again tightly grasped Eric's hand and stared at the TV screen intently.

Rick escaped to an abandoned tank, but it was still useless because the zombies were even pulling open the entrance cover of the tank.

In a desperate situation, Rick knew that there was no hope of escape and was ready to shoot himself.

At this moment, a voice sounded on the radio.

"If you want to live, listen to my command!"

The mysterious voice on the radio stopped, and the camera finally froze on Rick's terrified expression.

The first episode of "The Walking Dead" is over!

Seeing the behind-the-scenes personnel list start to pop up on the TV screen, Gadot stared at Eric speechlessly: "That's all? That's all?"

Eric spread his hands: "What else do you want? The first episode is a special broadcast of 60 minutes, and it's been an hour, girl."

"What! So fast? I don't feel anything at all. Tell me what happened next." Gadot asked eagerly.

"Can't tell, you're asking me to violate the confidentiality agreement, girl."

"Hehe, how about I exchange something?"

Eric hesitated for a moment and pretended to think: "It depends on what it is."

"How about this?"

"Well, she's very valuable!"
