The Best Entertainment Era

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

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

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

Scarlett Johansson responded, I'll make a running plan.

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

I've already read the first draft of the script. Sitting on a single sofa, Ronan said directly, Overall, it's good.

Eric Newman said with a smile: The screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment provided a lot of help.

Zach Schneider said: If the script can be finalized, I want to start making a detailed shooting plan as soon as possible.

This is not urgent. 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 position: Zach, Eric, when we talked on the phone a few days ago, I mentioned that although this film is a group play, the group play There must be a prominent first protagonist in the play, and this role will be the heroine.

That's what we think about it too. Eric Newman said with a smile: The role of the heroine is very important.

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

Ronan said in detail: The role of the heroine is indeed very important, but you misunderstand what I mean by adding more role to the heroine and creating a big heroine zombie movie. What I mean by increasing the role of the heroine is not to increase the role of the heroine. The core scene, but to make a fuss about the heroine's role.

Eric Newman is a more traditional old-fashioned Hollywood producer, and he doesn't quite understand what Ronan means: The heroine is already the absolute protagonist.

Zach Schneider was thoughtful and seemed to have guessed Ronan's intentions.

Ronan added: The plot begins when the heroine is chased by zombies and enters the shopping mall.

It really evolved into a group play, and the survivors formed a survival team. However, in the existing script, the heroine plays a lot of roles, but very little help to the survival team. The difficulties and problems faced at critical moments are almost All are male characters.

Facing zombies, women are inherently weak. Eric Newman said.

Where are you making suggestions? Ronan emphasized: Although there are many heroines helping other lucky people in the film, she has not deviated from Hollywood's usual vase image.

Zach Snyder interjected: That is to say, when the heroine encounters problems, she can only rely on men to solve them. She seems to be the absolute protagonist, but in fact she still exists attached to the male role. It is still a typical vase role setting.

Eric Newman said: Aren't all female characters in commercial movies like this?

Ronan said very seriously: Eric, the times have changed, and movies have to start to change accordingly. I have been paying attention to the movie market for the past few years, and found that audiences are becoming more and more ignorant about the kind of big breasts, so they can only wait for it. Male-saved female vase-like characters lose interest.

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

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

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.

Zack Schneider fully agrees with Ronan's statement: The heroine's strength is not enough, but if she strengthens her will and her own medical ability, she can also serve as the core of the survivor team.

Eric Newman is also thinking about the feasibility.

Ronan said again: I don't mean to make the heroine a leader who says nothing, and other characters become her vassals, but that she can make her own voice. What about in the first draft of the script? Ever since I met the supporting actor in the shopping mall In the beginning, the heroine depends almost entirely on him.

I see. Eric Newman said: We'll make adjustments to the script.

Zach Schneider said again: Can I join the next script modification and creation? I don't want authorship.

Eric Newman glanced at Ronan, saw Ronan nodded, and said, Yes.

Ronan finally said: A relatively independent heroine, this role should take the initiative. The general idea is that she doesn't need a man to save her, but she wants to save a man.

This type of heroine can start to appear gradually. Lindsay Beer once told Ronan before that independent female characters must have motives. This motive is not just for men or children. Hollywood screenwriters often can Think of 300 motives for the male protagonist, but for the female protagonist, the only one that can come up is that she is going to save the child.

Out of the office, Ronan was about to leave the Warner Studios, but Zack Schneider followed him, as if he had something to discuss, 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 seized the time and said to Ronan: The opening does not use the plot written in the script, but shoots it as a collection of various zombie news, causing zombies all over the world to move around. Illusion. Because some clips are obviously shot by the director himself, such as the scene where zombies attack reporters, so that the background can look very real.

Ronan nodded: Yes. He praised: This is also a good idea for a small-budget movie to produce a big-budget effect.

A similar method was used in the filming and production of Human Purge.

Zach Schneider in the early stage is still trustworthy, but in the middle and late stages, his movies have become very MV-oriented, and it is even no problem to regard his entire movie as a MV, such as Three Hundreds of Spartans The movie Warrior is the most dazzling Spartan style that lasts for more than one and a half hours.

Of course, there are still many merits.

Such as the former Watchmen.

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

Zack Snyder's tailor-made title for Watchmen is definitely one of the highlights of this movie.

It concentrates several of Zach Schneider's tricks, news briefings, visual MV, and slow motion throughout the upgrade.

All the scenes at the beginning are almost all about a certain moment or event of the characters in the Overwatch League. Every shot is related to the news, and there are reporters or police next to it, so there are often flashing light effects.

This series of director's forged news scenes created a Watcher's world view parallel to the real world.

By the way, there is one more thing. Zach Schneider said again: The former Dawn of the Dead producer Richard Rubinstein visited the crew and criticized the zombies we set to move too fast. , losing the essence of the original film.

Ronan said directly: Don't worry about these, stick to our setting, even zombies, we must progress with the times.

Zombies are no strangers to audiences. Even if a zombie crisis breaks out in the real world, it is estimated that many people will be able to recognize zombie monsters and distinguish their weaknesses at a glance. To attract audiences, there must be enough stimulation. Making zombies stronger can be said to be an effective way.

Zach Snyder smiled: I see.

When the two were about to reach the door of the office building, Charles Rowan, the producer of Warner Bros., came face to face.

Hi, Ronan. Charles Rowan greeted Ronan proactively.

Ronan responded with a smile: Good afternoon, Charles.

Charles Ronan pointed to the top: Is there a new film project in preparation?

Yeah. Ronan didn't need to deny it, and said truthfully, I'm going to remake Dawn of the Dead.

Hearing this, Charles Rowan's eyes fell on Zach Schneider, feeling a little familiar, and asked, Ronan, why don't you introduce me...

Ronan took advantage of the opportunity to introduce the two sides: Charles, this is director Zack Snyder, and he will direct Shahai Entertainment's remake of Dawn of the Dead. Zach, this is Charles Rowan, the famous director of Warner Bros. producer.

Charles Rowan shook hands with Zach Schneider, exchanged pleasantries, and asked, Director Schneider, have you ever filmed a MV for Madonna before?

Zack Snyder said: I used to mainly shoot music videos and commercials.

Charles Rowan nodded: Young and promising.

Zach Schneider smiled, seemed very humble, and had a lot of work at hand, so he bid farewell at the right time.

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

Ronan half-truthfully said: Ability is one aspect, the main reason is the low salary.

Charles Rowan remembered Zach Schneider's name and said, Many new directors have achieved success after being discovered by you.

Ronan sighed: I just gave them a chance, and gold will always shine as long as it has a chance.

I have always admired your courage in using newcomers. Charles Rowan said seriously: In this circle, is there still less gold buried because there is no opportunity?

Ronan glanced at his watch and said, We'll talk when we have time, I still have something to do here.

He's about to catch a flight to San Francisco, and the Netflix website is about to launch a series of new features and businesses.

Charles Rowan shook hands with Ronan, entered an office, and wrote Zach Schneider's name in a notepad.
