The Best Entertainment Era

The entire Theory of Relativity Entertainment adheres to the original spirit of pragmatism. Ronan met Zach Schneider himself in his office on Tuesday.

This is a short British man with a very ordinary face and hair color, and a gentle temperament.

Due to the completely unequal status, after the two parties greeted each other, Ronan said directly: Mr. Schneider, I have seen your MV for Madonna and the advertisement for Nike. They are very impressive, so someone recommends you to me. I also thought it would be a good candidate to direct this remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Zack Schneider no longer wanted to continue wasting years in the circle of commercial directors. His dream of being a film director was within reach, and he quickly said respectfully, It's my honor that you and Relativity Entertainment value me.

The manager also said next to him: Zach values ​​this opportunity very much, and rushed over from London as soon as he got the news. He quickly asked, When can we talk about cooperation?

Not every new director in the film industry starts out directing a project with a $20 million budget.

Although there are risks, the opportunities are even rarer.

Ronan said: Let's put it this way, Director Schneider, you are not our only candidate director.

Zach Schneider's heart is sinking, but it's not surprising. He knows that it is not easy to impress these big names in the film industry.

Just as the agent was about to say something, Ronan raised his hand to stop him, and said directly: Director Schneider, I will ask someone to give you the script and the producer plan. You need to make a detailed shooting and production plan before I can do it. Decide.

No problem. Zach Schneider responded immediately: I will do my best.

Ronan appropriately gave some hope: Don't underestimate yourself, you are at the top of all the candidates.

The agent and Zach Schneider breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They said a few more words to Ronan, took the initiative to say goodbye, received relevant information from Connie, asked about some specific business work, and left Relativity Entertainment.

As soon as he left the office building, Zach Schneider said to his agent: Saidan, turn down all commercials and MV invitations. I won't be engaged in other jobs during this time.

The broker hesitated a bit,

Said: This may affect your cooperation with some manufacturers.

Zach Schneider's eyes fell on the thick stack of materials in his hand, and said: This is an opportunity to determine my future and destiny, and I need to concentrate.

The agent thought for a while and said, Okay. He opened the door for Zach Schneider: I can talk to Robert Lee of Relativity Entertainment, and I will ask him to inquire about the news in time.

In the office, Ronan was still watching Zack Snyder's profile, especially his commercials.

It is necessary for Zach Schneider to write a detailed film production plan based on the script. After all, he has not filmed any film works before. Who knows what he thinks?

Although in the style of an advertising director, it is very possible to continue the commercial style that focuses on formal expression, rather than the so-called connotation and philosophical thinking of life, but what if Zach Schneider has any ideas and wants to shoot a movie that focuses on ideological connotation? ?

This is also Ronan's determination of whether Zack Snyder will film Dawn of the Dead as he once did.

After all, advertising directors with very strong commercial attributes also have headaches. The former Michael Bay and the first half of Escape from Clone Island are undoubtedly typical of them.

That's terrible for a commercial.

After reading the information, Ronan specifically explained that when negotiating with Zach Schneider, he must at least sign a director contract for two films.

In addition to Dawn of the Dead, there is also Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta whose film and television adaptation rights have already been acquired.

Although the previous movie was successful, Zack Schneider did not form his own unique style. The latter can be said to have had a profound impact on Zack Schneider's directorial career, making the works directed by Zack Schneider highly recognizable. personal style.

When he was still on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Ronan watched almost all the movies directed by Zack Snyder, from Dawn of the Dead to Watchmen to Batman v Superman, which was extremely impressive.

In Zack Snyder's movies, bloody violence is as elegant and gorgeous as ballet, massacre has become an art in his movies, and sacrifice is the most noble nirvana in his movies

He pursues the ultimate personal image style, and is good at adjusting the rhythm of the film screen in slow motion. No matter what the audience thinks about the content of his films, they cannot deny the magnificence of the screen in his works.

Starting from Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, Zack Schneider's films are full of personal creations such as slow motion, dark tones, exaggerated violence presentations, etc. The tones are all in heavy dark colors, just like deep oil paintings , especially when applied to manga adaptations, it brings a serious feeling to it.

This also made Zach Schneider's film mixed. Both the audience and the media, the comments were severely polarized.

Those who like it are simply loved to the extreme, and those who don't like it are deeply hated.

Batman v Superman undoubtedly magnified this situation to the extreme.

In the eyes of slag fans, the whole Bat Super movie is like watching an elegant opera, very artistic, much better than Marvel's TV series superheroes, Marvel's hero movies are completely devoid of nutrition, this is The ideal superhero movie in their minds is a dark, depressing classic with a lot of meaning and philosophical thought.

This film does have a lot of impressive shots, such as the state funeral of Superman presented in deep tones and high-speed slow motion, etc., but more of them make non-comic fans look confused.

The Martha used from the comics has become one of the most popular Internet memes for a while.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people at that time, DC, which was already seriously behind, wanted to catch up and even fight against Marvel movies. …

But what the slag fans waited for was Warner Bros. and DC Comics who were the first to deny themselves.

Let a director who has directed The Avengers and has a typical Marvel style to do post-production and editing for Justice League filmed by Zack Snyder. It can only be said that Warner Bros. executives panicked and have already Some are at a loss.

The descendant of the island country who later became the CEO of Warner Bros. has limited abilities in movies.

Moreover, as the CEO of one of the six major companies, he fell under the guns of the Mitus. Is it because our army is not strong enough? Or Mi Bunny has Gundam?

Robert Lee's efficiency is very high. Only on Wednesday, he reached an agreement with Eric Newman, and George Clint signed a production contract with Eric Newman on behalf of Sandsea Entertainment.

Sandsea Entertainment has invested a total of 20 million US dollars for the filming and production of the new version of Dawn of the Dead. Eric Newman will serve as the second producer and production manager.

The copyright transfer fee for the project is included in the $20 million budget.

In addition, Sandsea Entertainment also paid 200,000 US dollars as a producer project bonus to Eric Newman in accordance with Hollywood practice.

The crew of Dawn of the Dead was formally established. As the publisher, Embassy Pictures, initially scheduled to release the film in 2004.

In terms of actors, they were still provided by CAA. Ronan specifically called Brian Lord and communicated with him, planning to let the crew choose actors with certain qualifications and acting skills, but not too famous.

As for the director, Ronan has enough patience to wait for news from Zach Schneider.

Embassy Pictures is currently busy preparing for the release of Lost in Translation, which will have its world premiere at the opening Cannes Film Festival, and Summer in Jeans next month. .

At the same time, Bourne Shadow 2 continued to be screened in North America, and the number of screening theaters increased to 3,790, and the screening rate also exceeded that of X-Men 2, which was released before. Regardless of the screening theater or screening rate, it is temporarily ranked in North America. The first one.

In the past few working days, due to the addition of the summer movie market effect, The Bourne 2 has been operating at a high level, and it received 9.15 million US dollars on Monday. From Monday to Thursday, it still got 30.56 million US dollars, so before the arrival of the second screening weekend, the North American box office pushed the 100 million US dollars mark in one fell swoop.

In less than a week after its release, the box office in North America exceeded 100 million, setting a record for the fastest box office of a film under Relativity Entertainment to break 100 million in North America.

This has also greatly boosted the confidence of the entire group company, especially for large-scale film projects with high investment.

Even some people who were not optimistic about Pirates of the Caribbean are quietly changing their minds. Maybe Relativity Entertainment can reverse the decline of pirate movies?

Bourne Shadow 2 also came to its second screening weekend. Like X-Men 2 last weekend, it also faces the market impact of newly released popular movies.

This is a popular and top-level sci-fi production that has attracted much attention. The first song has been hailed as a masterpiece by countless people.

In 1999, The Matrix not only captured the attention of global audiences with its bold visual innovations, but also created a series of imitation works such as commercial TV, music TV and movies, among which the doubts about reality and identity were even more impressive. endless aftertaste.

This also allowed the Wachowski brothers, who can be called newcomers in the film industry, to almost reach the sky in one step, thus gaining the absolute right to speak in the sequel.

The Matrix 2: Reloaded, produced and distributed by Warner Bros., was released as scheduled on the third weekend of the summer file.

Both inside and outside the circle believe that The Matrix 2 will become the first R-rated movie in North America with a box office of over 100 million.
