Chapter 489： Zombies must follow the progress of the times

Warner Studios, walking in the promenade on the third floor of the office building, Luo Nan said to Scarlett Johansson next to him as he walked: "The audition has passed, let your agent come to the crew to negotiate the contract as soon as possible."

Scarlett Johansson was in a good mood and said, "Okay."

Ronan came to the door of an office, and said: "The heroine will have a lot of escape scenes, you have to prepare in advance."

Scarlett Johansson responded: "I will make a running plan."

Ronan waved to her, turned and walked into the producer's office, Zach Schneider and Eric Newman were already waiting inside.

"I have read the first draft of the script." Ronan sat on a single sofa and said directly: "Overall it is good."

Eric Newman smiled and said: "The screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment has provided a lot of help."

Zach Schneider then said: "If the script can be finalized, I want to start making detailed filming plans as soon as possible."

"This is not in a hurry." Ronan said slowly: "The script needs to be adjusted in some details."

Eric Newman asked: "Which way?"

Ronan said directly: "The role of the heroine." He changed his sitting posture: "Zach, Eric, when we talked on the phone a few days ago, I mentioned that although this film is a group show, it is a group show. There must be a prominent first protagonist in the play, and this role will be the heroine."

"We think so too." Eric Newman said with a smile: "The heroine's role is very heavy."

Zach Schneider echoed: "We also made temporary adjustments with the screenwriter to further increase the role of the heroine."

Ronan said in detail: "The heroine's role is indeed very heavy, but you have misunderstood what I mean by increasing the heroine's role and creating a zombie movie for the heroine. I said increasing the heroine's role, not increasing the role of the heroine. The core scenes, but to make a fuss about the heroine's scenes."

Eric Newman is a more traditional Hollywood old-fashioned producer. He doesn't quite understand Ronan's meaning: "The heroine is already an absolute protagonist."

Zach Schneider thoughtfully, seemed to have guessed Ronan's intentions.

Ronan added: "The plot started when the heroine was chased by zombies and entered the shopping mall, and it really evolved into a group drama. The survivors formed a survival team, but in the existing script, the heroine appeared in a lot of scenes. There is very little help to the survival team. The difficulties and problems faced at critical moments are almost all done by male roles."

"In the face of zombies, women are inherently weak." Eric Newman said.

"How about making suggestions?" Ronan emphasized: "Although there are some girly protagonists helping other lucky people in the film, she has not broken away from Hollywood's usual vase image."

Zach Schneider interjected: "In other words, the heroine encounters problems and can only rely on men to solve it. She seems to be the absolute protagonist, but in fact it still depends on the male character. It is still a typical vase character setting. "

Eric Newman said: "Isn't that all the female characters in commercial films?"

Ronan said very seriously: "Eric, the times are different, and movies will begin to change accordingly. I have been following the film market in the past few years and found that audiences are becoming more and more mindless and can only wait. The female vase-like characters rescued by men lose interest."

In the past mainstream Hollywood commercial films, the greatest significance of the existence of female characters was as a vase.

But movies have always been affected by the social environment. Although women's rights are not as powerful as ten years later, their voices are getting louder and louder and their influence is getting bigger and bigger.

He reminded: "The heroine is the absolute protagonist. She can have the appearance of a vase, but she must also have the temperament of an absolute protagonist."

Zach Schneider fully agrees with Ronan's statement: "The heroine is not strong, but the quality of will and her own medical ability can be strengthened, and it can also be the core of the survivor team."

Eric Newman is also thinking about its feasibility.

Ronan added: "I don't mean to make the heroine become a leader who is the only one, and other characters to become her vassals, but to make her speak her own voice. What about the first draft of the script? Ever since I met a supporting actor in a shopping mall In the beginning, the heroine was almost entirely dependent on him."

"I understand." Eric Newman said: "We will adjust the script again."

Zach Schneider added: "Can I join in the next script modification and creation? I don't want the right to sign."

Eric Newman glanced at Ronan and saw Ronan nodding and said, "Yes."

Ronan finally said: "The heroine who is relatively more independent, this role must take the initiative. In general, she does not need a man to save, but to save a man."

This type of heroine can begin to appear gradually. Lindsay Bill told Ronan before that independent female characters must be motivated. This motivation is not only for men or children. Hollywood screenwriters can often Think of 300 motives for the hero, but for the heroine, the only thing she can think of is that she is going to save the child.

After leaving the office, Ronan was about to leave the Warner Studios, but Zach Schneider came with him, as if there was something to talk about, and followed him all the way down to the lobby on the first floor of the office building.

"About the beginning of the film, I have an idea." Zach Schneider took the time to say to Ronan: "The title does not use the plot written by the script, but is filmed as a collection of various zombie news, causing zombies around the world to move around. Fake. Because some clips were obviously made by the director himself, such as the shots of zombies attacking reporters, it can make the background appear real."

Ronan nodded: "Yes." He praised: "This is also a good idea for low-cost movies to produce large-cost effects."

A similar method was used in the production of "Human Removal Project".

The early Zach Schneider is still worthy of trust, but in the middle and late stages, his film has become very MV, and it is no problem even to treat his entire movie as a MV, such as "Spartan 300 "Warrior" is the "most dazzling Spartan style" that lasts more than one and a half hours.

Of course, there are many advantages.

For example, the previous "Watchmen".

I believe that the beginning of this special superhero movie can leave a very deep impression on people who have watched this movie.

Zach Schneider’s tailor-made title for "Watchmen" is definitely one of the highlights of this movie.

It focuses on several of Zach Schneider's tricks, news briefings, visual MVs, and slow motion throughout the upgrade.

Almost all the scenes at the beginning are about a certain moment or an event of the characters in the Watchmen League. Every shot is related to news, with reporters or police nearby, so the light effect of flashing lights is often seen.

This series of "director forged" news scenes created a "watcher worldview" parallel to the real world.

"Yes, there is one more thing." Zach Schneider said again: "The former producer of "Dawn of the Living Dead" Richard Rubinstein visited the crew and criticized the speed of zombies we set to move too fast. , Lost the essence of the original movie."

Ronan said directly: "Don't worry about these, stick to our settings, even zombies, they must advance with the times."

Zombies are no longer unfamiliar to the audience. Even if a zombie crisis really breaks out in the real world, it is estimated that many people can recognize zombie monsters and distinguish their weaknesses at a glance. To attract audiences, you must have enough excitement. It can be said that making zombies stronger is an effective way.

Zach Schneider smiled: "I see."

When the two approached the door of the office building, Warner Bros. producer Charles Rowan greeted him.

"Hi, Ronan." Charles Rowan actively greeted Ronan.

Ronan responded with a smile: "Good afternoon, Charles."

Charles Ronan pointed to it: "Are there new movie projects in preparation?"

"Yes." Ronan didn't have to deny it, telling the truth: "I am going to remake "Dawn of the Living Dead."

Hearing this, Charles Rowan's gaze fell on Zach Schneider. He faintly felt a little familiar, and asked: "Ronan, don't you introduce it..."

Ronan made an introduction to both sides: "Charles, this is the director of Zach Schneider, and I will guide the remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead" by Shahai Entertainment. Zach, this is Charles Rowan, famous for Warner Bros. Producer."

Charles Rowan shook hands with Zach Schneider, greeted him, and asked: "Director Schneider, have you filmed a MV for Madonna before?"

Zach Schneider said: "I used to shoot music videos and commercials."

Charles Rowan nodded: "Young and promising."

Zach Schneider smiled, seemed very humble, and had a lot of work on hand, so he said goodbye in time.

When Zach Schneider left, Charles Rowan said: "Ronan, you asked Zach Schneider to direct this remake project and trust his ability?"

Ronan said half-truth and half-truth: "On the one hand, ability is mainly due to low pay."

Charles Rowan took down Zach Schneider's name and said: "Many new directors have been successful after being unearthed by you."

Ronan sighed: "I just gave them a chance. Gold will always shine whenever there is a chance."

"I have always admired your courage to use new people." Charles Rowan said seriously: "In this circle, is there little gold buried because there is no chance?"

Ronan glanced at his watch and said, "I have time to talk, I still have something to do."

He immediately catches the flight to San Francisco, and Netflix will launch a series of new functions and new businesses.

Charles Rowan shook hands with Ronan to say goodbye, entered an office, and specifically noted Zach Schneider's name on the notepad.
