Chapter 858: Land of the dead

As far as the film project of Relativity Entertainment is concerned, Jaina-Quan is currently only involved in one "Fast and Furious" series. Apart from continuing to participate in "Grey Intern", she currently has no other work.
An honest and reliable person like Ronan certainly wouldn't turn his face to deny others.
He then called Will Smith.
Some time ago, when Ronan was on the crew of "Infinite Walker" in New York, he saw a remake of the script called "I Am Legend" from Will Smith.
Ronan had watched this film once, and Will Smith alone carried the box office.
It is also the source of the famous "start a dog".
Unfortunately, this is a remake of a film. The earliest film copyright and related other copyrights have been in the hands of Warner Bros. for decades. Even if Ronan remembers, there is no other way.
In the past two years, Will Smith has been in the limelight. Strictly speaking, he can already be included in the ranks of superstars.
In order to invite Will Smith, Warner Bros. not only paid 25 million US dollars plus the remuneration for the later part of the film, but also gave Will Smith almost the same power as a producer.
There are not many actors who can really show up in the film, but Will Smith has a heavyweight voice in the choice of other actors.
Ronan didn't need to be polite with Will Smith, and called directly to recommend him a heroine.
Then, Jaina-Kan went to audition for the cast of "I Am A Legend", and the Latino actress Alice Bragaca from Brazil, originally intended by Warner Bros., had the final audition.
Acting online, Jaina, who has also practiced her English proficiency, passed the audition very smoothly, and won the third most dramatic role in the crew besides Will Smith and the dog.
Being able to partner with Will Smith is enough for the entertainment media of the largest country in the universe to blow for a year.
Of course, in their eyes, maybe Will Smith is not a non-Chief, but a stick.
Will Smith, who returned to Los Angeles temporarily, participated in the premiere of "Land of the Living Dead" because of Ronan's invitation and the reputation of George Romero, the father of the zombies.
This zombie movie, which eventually cost only 8 million US dollars, was filmed and produced by George Romero in less than seven months, and then it was introduced into the theater by the Embassy Pictures.
George Romero came back to shoot a zombie movie, which has become the biggest gimmick in the promotion.
Although in the 1980s, George Romero almost completely ruined the zombie movies that he carried forward. For example, "Zombies Out of the Cage", such as "Zombies Out of the Cage", had a rotten reputation among the audience, almost completely destroying this type.
But the audience is forgetful, and public opinion is more tolerant towards an old man. After nearly two decades, almost no one mentions George Romero’s zombies that no one watched anymore, but zombies. The name of the father of the film spread widely.
Since "Dawn of the Living Dead" last year, he took the initiative to find relativity entertainment. George Romero also learned from experience and lessons.
For example, during the screening, the zombies would be subconsciously attracted by the fireworks, and they would be praised by the audience.
Relativity Entertainment is also constantly promoting on the Internet, continuing to hype George Romero's groundbreaking and importance to zombie films, and completely confirming George Romero's status as the "father of zombie films".
George Romero's new zombie film has also attracted the attention of countless zombie culture lovers.
At the premiere scene, "zombies" gathered, and true lovers of zombie culture have dressed themselves as zombies.
In addition to these ordinary zombies fans, there are also professional people present.
For example, Robert Kirkman.
This is the script writer of "The Walking Dead" and has been hired by Shahai Entertainment to serve as a special consultant for the adaptation of the "The Walking Dead" script.
The drama plan has been put into daily life, the script is being created, and Ronan is also looking for a suitable director.
According to the plan finalized by Netflix streaming and Shahai Entertainment, the first season of The Walking Dead will be launched next winter or spring 2007.
Of course, related plans are still relatively cautious, and there will only be about eight episodes in the first season.
This drama is not suitable for launching too late. Once it loses the advantages and aura of the first zombie drama, its follow-up effects may be discounted.
The early stage of "The Walking Dead" can be said to be a zombie drama, but the background of the zombie is simply used as a coat.
In terms of personal hobbies, Ronan still prefers the type of zombies.
Chain saw and zombies, that is the ultimate romance for men.
At the entrance of the theater, Ronan saw Will Smith, and Will Smith said: "Zombies all over the place are too impulsive."
Ronan deliberately joked: "Your taste has changed again? Or is it further aggravated?"
Will Smith's swarthy face turned darker in an instant, and said, "How could I be interested in zombies?"
Ronan said in a very serious tone: "Will, I have a project here, which is very suitable for you, called "My Happy Life with Zombie Girl."
Will Smith was completely defeated and emphasized: "I'm just a fan of George Romero!"
Ronan put away his joke and said, "You have to star in a zombie movie."
Will Smith nodded: "There are not many zombies, but they are powerful."
Ronan said, "I read the script and the settings. It should be the most powerful zombie in the zombie movie."
"Almost." Will Smith thought for a while and said: "Except for the mutant zombie monsters in "Resident Evil" shot by your company."
Ronan shrugged: "Those can't be regarded as zombies." He changed the subject: "Jaina, trouble you."
"Are you polite to me?" Will Smith said seriously: "Since we met, although I have never said it, it is always clear that you have been helping me, but I can't help you. This The role, finally let me give you some favor."
While speaking, he himself laughed first.
Ronan did not continue this topic, after all, it was just a small matter for Will Smith and him.
Later, Ronan met George Romero in the theater hall.
"I've seen a trial screening." Ronan was full of praise for the movie: "A masterpiece."
George Romero said: "I also feel that "Land of the Living Dead" is the best zombie film I have ever shot, and I may never be able to do that again in the future."
Ronan said: "Why? Fans are still waiting for your new work."
He said so, but Ronan knew in his heart that what George Romero said was the truth. It was not that George Romero was unable to keep up with the times or his ability was degraded, but that his body was no longer good.
During the filming of "Land of the Living Dead," Allianz Insurance, which provided insurance services to the crew, warned Shahai Entertainment more than once that George Romero's health was worrying.
Allianz Insurance even stated that if Shahai Entertainment cooperates with George Romero again, it will not provide personal insurance for George Romero.
George Romero's heart is not old, but his body is old.
For the safety of the crew and George Romero, Ronan decided not to continue working with him.
And also asked George Clint to talk to George Romero specifically to persuade him to cultivate quietly.
Frankly speaking, George Romero is not short of money.
Ronan likes zombie movies very much and hopes that the father of modern zombie movies can live a few more years.
It's a pity that Uncle Nine left too early, otherwise it would be very enjoyable to let George Romero shoot a zombies against Uncle Nine.
There are successors to zombie movies. Hollywood, including Relativity Entertainment, many companies continue to develop this genre, and there will definitely be more outstanding zombie movies coming out.
But this type of zombie film, perhaps no one can surpass Jiu Shu.
The premiere screening began soon, and George Romero added many new things to this traditional zombie film.
Such as zombies and fireworks, such as the zombie revolution throughout the story!
In this film, zombies no longer have only instincts, but consciousness has initially appeared, and George Romero deliberately chose a black zombie as the leader of the zombie group to destroy the life of the white-led human settlement.
As a result, the zombies at the bottom of the film’s character structure, under the leadership of Hei Minggui, took a politically correct pace, stormed into human settlements, and overthrew the white bourgeoisie riding on the heads of ordinary people and a crowd of zombies. He ruled by all evils, and exiled the petty bourgeoisie who was not firm enough to stand, thus turning over to become the master and establishing a zombie dictatorship.
Since then, the zombies have stood up!
This is a zombie movie!
The only purpose is to make viewers who like zombie culture enjoy watching.
There is no doubt that "Land of the Living Dead" achieved this goal.
The most direct manifestation is the box office of the film.
During the opening weekend, "Land of the Living Dead" won $ 15.24 million from the 3,256 theaters ~EbookFREE.me~ won by Embassy Pictures, thus ensuring that the North American box office alone can recoup the investment.
Although the film’s reputation is very bad, the Rotten Tomatoes index is as low as it is published, the media scores 4.5 points, and even the IMDB score fails, but how many zombie films have a good reputation?
This kind of film, as long as the specific hobby group watch it well and the film company can make money, it represents success.
In addition to the big screens in cinemas, zombie films have always been popular in the rental market.
Just like there are a lot of nine uncles on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, zombie films have never lacked an audience in the West.
Maybe other viewers feel that the mentally retarded plot and setting are, in the eyes of zombie film lovers, the refreshing point of getting goose bumps.
After nearly two decades, George Romero's appeal among zombie fans is stronger than in the 70s and 80s.
The success of "Land of the Living Dead" also proves that the zombie movie still has considerable market vitality.
