The Best Entertainment Era

Like George Lucas and James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis is also one of the representatives of technical directors in Hollywood. An innovative director at the end of modern times, and most of the films he shot are like adult fairy tales with unique styles.

Throughout the representative works of Robert Zemeckis, including the Back to the Future series and Forrest Gump, there are always clean and pure, wonderful dreams, and harmonious warmth in his works.

The director's works have always told stories full of innocence.

Steven Spielberg, who carried Robert Zemeckis in one hand, commented on him this way: a child who doesn't grow up, a technical control who restless storytelling.

In fact, there is no need to look for information. Ronan also has a clear understanding of Robert Zemeckis based on his impressions.

The output is not high, but all classics.

Robert Zemeckis is a techie and a great storyteller.

In Hollywood, his versatility is obvious to all.

As an alumnus of USC Film Academy, Ronan also had contact with Robert Zemeckis, otherwise he would not be included in the shortlist of directors.

This director is also a very suitable candidate for shooting fairy tale movies.

Then again, is there a more fairytale adult movie than Forrest Gump?

Ronan also spoke to Robert Zemeckis about this.

Robert Zemeckis has a deep attachment to something innocent.

Therefore, when dealing with the character of Forrest Gump, he did not portray him as a clown who made a fool of himself, but instead gave this reckless and straightforward character more positive colors.

The deputy director also said: Robert Zemeckis has made many technical achievements. The ingenious combination of real people and animation in Who First Killed Roger Rabbit in 1988 has become a milestone in the history of world film technology development. Milestone. The Polar Express, which was released last year, used CG live-action capture and CG animation technology for the first time to present real-life characters vividly in a 3D animation movie.

In fact, the corresponding choice is not difficult, besides, Alice in Wonderland is still following Avatar to borrow the wind.

Ronan quickly made a decision: Well,

Pause for a moment to engage with Tim Burton. George, you send an invitation to Robert Zemeckis; Blinder, you go to contact Robert Zemeckis' agent.

He thought for a while, and then said, Don't give up on Tim Burton, they are not the first choice for the director of Alice in Wonderland.

Blind said quickly, Okay.

George Clint suggested: Ronan, you and Robert Zemeckis are alumni, say hello to him in advance?

I will. Ronan nodded slightly: I will call Robert Zemeckis this afternoon.

For a director at the level of Robert Zemeckis, the salary is basically clear, and there is basically no possibility that Ronan will invite him to take advantage of the trend to increase the price.

In fact, both Tim Burton and Robert Zemeckis need to be hired by Sandsea Entertainment with high salaries.

Both of them are well-known veteran directors in the industry.

This small-scale communication about Alice in Wonderland will soon end, because Tim Burton asked Johnny Depp to act as the leading actor, and Ronan finally made a choice in favor of finding a new director.

At the end of the meeting, Ronan did not leave immediately, and asked George Clint about the filming of The Hangover.

This comedy movie with an investment of only 20 million US dollars will be a very important step for Relativity Entertainment in the comedy movie genre.

Embassy Pictures has also formulated a corresponding publicity and distribution plan for The Hangover. If there are no major accidents in the production, this comedy film will be released next year, that is, in 2006.

If the first film can be successful, The Hangover must also be serialized.

To some extent, its serialized routine is very similar to Death is Coming.

The routine of the Hangover series used to be very typical. On the eve of the wedding, bad friends held a crazy bachelor party. After a night of hangover, they completely lost their memory, but all members collapsed and fell into crisis, so they had to solve the mystery to save their lives.

In terms of actors, Bradley Cooper, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are the three good friends of the leading actor in the college.

This is also the cast that Ronan finalized.

Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill have been in Hollywood for a few years, and both belong to the kind of rookie actors with certain qualifications.

The scale of the film is relatively large, and it will definitely be rated R.

Someone once said that if it is not an R-rated Hollywood comedy, it is definitely not a good movie.

In the routine of American comedy, say a few lines at most, and then the topic will start to go down three ways.

Ronan still remembers watching a super-large-scale Hollywood comedy movie. The two male protagonists were hunted down by killers on the grassland. There was no place to hide. Then they found a herd of elephants and hid them in the Zigong of a female elephant. .

As a result, a male elephant came and wanted to applaud the love with the female elephant...

Seeing this, even a person like Ronan couldn't stand it, so he turned off the player and deleted that shit comedy movie that he didn't even remember the name of.

The many funny scenes and jokes in American comedies, to the eyes of many Eastern audiences, are like American horror movies, more disgusting.

Ronan still remembered that a colleague once heard people in the office talk about The Hangover, downloaded it and watched it with great interest after work, and came back the next day and asked, What's so funny? Can you tell me what's funny? Where? Not only did I read it seriously, but I almost fell asleep during the process...

Comedies are actually more influenced by cultural differences than horror films.

The focus of the film The Hangover is the European and American markets, and the Asian markets in the East.

Ronan then went to the screenwriting department again. He had formally submitted the idea of ​​the teddy bear to the screenwriting department in written form. Currently, Shahai Entertainment is recruiting suitable screenwriters to create the script.

Producers or production companies propose ideas and themes, and recruit screenwriters to write scripts. This is the most typical Hollywood commercial script creation mode.

In order to facilitate the creation of the script, Ronan planned to let Shahai Entertainment recruit screenwriters, and let the screenwriters go to the company that produces teddy bears to experience it.

This is a typical propositional composition, which is conducive to deepening the emotional connection between the screenwriter and the characters.

As for the teddy bear's personality, I haven't found a target to learn from for the time being, but Ronan gave a standard, this perverted bear must be as cheap as the sky.

This movie can be said to be one of Ronan's most impressive Hollywood comedy movies.

He also wanted a comedy. He was also impressed. It wasn't that the film was good-looking, but a film made by Hollywood. The main plot was to assassinate the leader of a certain country...

In some respects, American hegemony is best reflected in Hollywood.

These filmmakers in Hollywood say that you are wrong, you are wrong, and you are right and wrong.

The only thing that can make them change their positions is a wonderful existence called profit.

For the sake of profit, they dared to black out the Washington authorities.

Ronan has watched countless Hollywood movies, and in his impression, only the tax bureau has not been really hacked by Hollywood movies.

It is estimated that those who hacked the tax bureau were all taxed.

Having said that, how many companies of all sizes and countless taxpayers in the United States have no tax problems at all?

Teddy Bear just started the earliest planning, and it would be good to finish the script this year.

Unfortunately, Ronan can't remember the name of the director who sang Mimi Song at the Oscars.

As the Oscars become more and more politically correct, the selection of films is becoming more and more biased and niche. The most direct consequence is that the ratings of the awards ceremony are declining every year.

So, that director can sing this kind of song on the awards stage.

Without the consent or acquiescence of the director and production team, this kind of song will definitely not appear.

This also illustrates a problem. In a few years, the Oscar Awards Ceremony will also need to attract the audience's attention in a way that stands out.

If you really can't find a suitable candidate by then, the current Hangover director Todd Phillips can also.

The young director in his thirties has rich experience in comedy film shooting.

In the middle of April, the North American box office of Hellboy released by Embassy Pictures last month exceeded 80 million U.S. dollars, and overseas also earned nearly 60 million U.S. dollars.

On box office alone, this offbeat superhero flick will recoup its investment.

This month, Relativity Entertainment also released a film. From preparation to filming to completion of production, to the final publicity and release, I learned that Artisan Films' Human Skin Inn completed its big production in less than half a year at a super fast pace. Commercial films often take two years to complete.

The total investment of the film is only 4 million US dollars, which is relatively small.

Correspondingly, the pressure to pay back is much less.

Director Eli Roth is a typical admirer of Quentin Tarantino. He borrowed the filming and production style of Kill Bill.

During filming, Eli Roth's crew used more than 1,000 liters of artificial blood plasma.

The effect is also obvious.

This kind of horror film about American mentally disabled youths being tortured and killed by perverts has always had a relatively stable audience in North America. As long as the quality of the film is basically guaranteed, it may not be easy to make a lot of money, but the chances of recovering the investment are relatively high .

Eli Roth's film is also good. He has directed a similar film No Bones before, and he has won the essence of this type of film.

In the first week of its release, Human Skin Inn did not win the North American box office chart, but with a box office score of 19.55 million US dollars, it only took three days for the film to make a profit.
