Chapter 675: No need to change actors

Every month, Embassy Pictures, the distribution company of Relativity Entertainment, releases at least one movie.
On the second weekend of mid-August, the classic zombie film "Dawn of the Living Dead" directed by Zach Schneider and remake of George-A-Romero will be released soon.
Although the project's production budget is only 20 million US dollars, it is a medium-to-low investment in Hollywood, but in the category of zombie movies, it is definitely a large investment and large production.
It is relatively rare for zombie movies to invest more than ten million dollars.
In many cases, zombie films are synonymous with B-level films and shoddy.
But once the trailer of "Dawn of the Living Dead" was released, it attracted the attention of a large number of zombie fans.
Although zombie culture belongs to a niche culture even in North America, there are a considerable number of die-hard fans. These people's obsession with zombie culture is not inferior to the fans of Captain Jack Sparrow.
In the promotion of "Dawn of the Living Dead", the Embassy Pictures also invited George A-Romero heavily to participate in a number of promotional activities.
George Romero was quite satisfied with the crew's acceptance of his suggestion and the use of women as the first protagonist. Not only did he praise Scarlett Johansson for his outstanding acting skills, he also actively cooperated with some publicity measures of Embassy Pictures.
In the field of zombie films, George Romero's influence is self-evident.
The image of zombies in modern popular culture in the true sense was developed from the rabies virus, and it was widely spread in the movie "Night of the Living Dead" directed by George Romero in 1968. Zombies are no longer pure The dull image of coolie controlled by humans has turned into a horrible image of immortality, rotting limbs, and biting the living.
George Romero has also become a veritable father of modern zombie films. His "Trilogy of the Living Dead" not only pinpoints current malpractices, but also has distinctive characteristics of the times, as well as bloody, violent and eye-opening zombie scenes. It has influenced countless zombie movies and laid down several general developments for the later zombie culture. It can be called the "three laws of robots" in the zombie world, and it is still in use today.
The premiere of "Dawn of the Living Dead" was placed on the newly completed Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles. From the morning, the surrounding area seemed to be the end of the world, and various zombies came out of the cage.
Zombies of various shapes are seen around, and Nokia Plaza is completely occupied by zombies.
The premiere was created by Embassy Pictures as a carnival feast of zombie culture.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the premiere kicked off. Before many celebrity guests walked on the red carpet, the zombies took the lead on the red carpet, which caused the zombie culture lovers on both sides to scream constantly, and even some female fans went crazy. It seems to call more than seeing a handsome guy.
Seeing the zombies, some people's emotions suddenly flew up.
Maybe you can shoot a zombie romance, just call "My Boyfriend is a Zombie".
Ronan came to the door of the Nokia Theatre, looked at the screaming zombie culture lovers, and said to George Clint: "These are our audience protection."
George Clint said: "Robert has obtained the film and television adaptation rights of The Walking Dead. Are we really not making movies, but adapting TV series?"
Ronan said: "This is a project for Netflix."
George Klin nodded characteristically: "When will it start?"
"Don't worry." Ronan looked at Scarlett Johansson walking on the red carpet: "As long as "Dawn of the Living Dead" succeeds, more zombie movies will follow, which will further expand the influence of zombie culture and film and television works. To create a more favorable communication environment for related works."
George Clint estimated: "At least three to four years."
Ronan smiled: "It's almost the same, it depends on the specific situation."
He specifically asked Connie to conduct surveys and statistics. Today, there is no zombie-themed TV series in Hollywood. If "The Walking Dead" appears as a pioneer, it may attract more people's attention.
Scarlett Johansson walked into the interview area. The female star at the peak of her appearance and figure instantly attracted the attention of countless media reporters and surrounded her.
With Ronan, Scarlett Johansson has paid a lot, and of course it needs to be reciprocated, and she knows Ronan doesn’t mind taking him appropriately.
"When Ronan came to me and asked me to act as the heroine, I was moved by his brand-new creativity." Scarlett Johansson said naturally: "I have been fascinated by zombies since I was a child. It all stems from the curiosity after death. If death is not eternal, if it is only half-dead and the body is still alive, what will this world be like? So I also fell in love with the movies directed by Romero."
When the celebrities are interviewed, all kinds of beautiful remarks will appear. As for the truth and falsehood, they know best.
Scarlett Johansson does not like zombie culture, and took the film "Dawn of the Living Dead" just because the producer is called Ronan Anderson.
Because she believes that Ronan will be as successful as ever, and Ronan's success will drive her success, thus realizing the transformation of the business direction.
Although Ronan gave her a lot of valuable gifts, if she didn't gain anything in business, she would have to sell herself to Ronan if she wanted to continue to maintain a bright and beautiful life.
If you charge a fee every time you go to Future World Manor, the nature will change.
"Hi, Ronan." Scarlett saw Ronan at the entrance of the theater and hurried over to say hello: "You didn't walk the red carpet?"
Ronan shook his head: "There are too many zombies, I'm scared."
Scarlett Johansson couldn't help laughing, and deliberately took Ronan's arm: "Don't worry, I have beaten many zombies, and I will protect you."
Ronan also laughed and went into the theater with Scarlett Johansson.
"Zach, Warner Bros. hopes to be with you in the future..."
As soon as he entered the VIP lounge, Ronan saw Charles Rowan chatting with Zach Schneider and said,
Charles, if you want to dig Zach to Warner Bros., you have to wait for Zach to complete the director contract with Shahai Entertainment. ."
Charles Rowan smiled and replied: "I'm talking about the future, not the present."
Zach Schneider was very calm: "I still have an appointment with Shahai Entertainment."
"Is the project confirmed?" Charles Rowan asked.
Zach Schneider took a look at Ronan, saw that he had no objection, and said: "Yes, it is confirmed, an epic action film based on a comic."
Charles Rowan thought about what he had heard: "Frank Miller's "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan"?"
Ronan said: "It's this one. After Zach's vacation ends, preparations will begin."
Charles Rowan didn't say much, but remembered it in his heart.
"Batman: Hour of War" was a great success. The theme plot and core of the film basically came from Frank Miller's comic "The Dark Knight Returns", which made Warner Bros. pay attention to Frank Miller's comics and wanted to win The adaptations of several other comics and interruptions are copyrighted.
Unexpectedly, Warner Bros. slowed down, and the copyrights of Frank Miller's other two well-known works, "Sin City" and "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" were all sold.
The former was bought by the Weinstein Brothers' Emperor Gate Pictures, and the latter fell into the hands of Shahai Entertainment early in the morning.
Tony Koch walked over at this time, Ronan introduced him to several people present, and then went to other places, Scarlett Johansson also followed.
"Marvel Entertainment now belongs to your relativity entertainment, right?" Scarlett Johansson asked.
Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment controls Marvel Entertainment."
Scarlett Johansson greeted the person who came to greet Ronan with a smile, waited for the other person to walk away, and whispered: "The people from Marvel Entertainment have contacted me and asked me to tell the black widow Natasha Normanoff. Are you interested."
"Did they find you?" Ronan said, "If you are interested, you can talk to Marvel Entertainment."
When it comes to the contract with Stan Lee, Ronan can't say more, just vaguely.
Scarlett Johansson was a little confused: "This character has very few scenes in "Iron Man"..."
Ronan thought for a while, and said, "Because of the trade secrets, I can't say more about it. Scarlett, if the conditions are right, let's go ahead."
Scarlett Johansson frowned slightly. Is it really appropriate to have a role with few scenes, low pay, and a long contract?
She could not make a decision immediately.
Although Black Widow is a typical movie and role that has made an actor, it will not be too different to switch to other actresses with excellent appearance conditions, and it is not difficult to find suitable candidates. After all, there are not too many and beautiful women in Hollywood , But thinking of the roles he was once familiar with, and the various efforts Scarlett Johansson has made on his side now, Ronan decided to say a few more words.
"Sometimes, you can't just look in front of you." Ronan said faintly: "Scarlett, you can also look farther."
Scarlett Johansson heard the hint in Ronan's words and recalled it carefully. From getting together in the elevator to now ~EbookFREE.me~ it seems that Ronan has never done anything against her.
As Ronan's status is really bad for her, there is no need for such trouble.
Speaking of which, Scarlett Johansson’s experience of working hard in Hollywood since childhood made her quickly make a decision: "Ronan, I know what to do."
Ronan smiled and said, "Do what you want, don't think about me."
"No." Scarlett Johansson said seriously: "I think we can work together for many more years, at least I am still young and beautiful."
This is straightforward enough.
Ronan patted her arm: "Miss Johnson, you are a smart and good girl."
Scarlett Johansson said immediately: "A smart girl is always waiting for your call."
Ronan is now sure that the role of Black Widow should not need to change actors.
