Chapter 460 Hackers Attack
The entire Relativity Entertainment adheres to the original spirit of pragmatism. Ronan met Zach Schneider himself in his office on Tuesday.
These are British people with a low head, very ordinary face and hair color, and gentle temperament.
Because they were in a completely unequal position and after they greeted each other, Ronan said directly: "Mr. Schneider, I have seen the MV you shot for Madonna and the commercials you shot for Nike, which is impressive, so when someone recommended you to me as the director of this remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead", I also thought I would be a suitable candidate."
Zach Schneider no longer wants to continue wasting his time in the advertising director circle. The dream of a film director is right in front of him, and he is even within reach. He quickly said respectfully: "You and Relativity Entertainment value me, which is my honor."
The agent also said from the side: "Zach attaches great importance to this opportunity. As soon as he gets the news, he immediately rushed over from London." He asked quickly: "When can we talk about cooperation?"
Not every new director in the film industry can direct projects with a budget of 20 million US dollars from the beginning.
Although this is risky, the opportunity is even more rare.
Ronan said: "So, Director Schneider, you are not our only director candidate."
Zach Schneider's heart is sinking, but it's not surprising. He knows that it's not easy to impress these big names in the film industry.
The agent was about to say something, but Ronan raised his hand to stop it and said directly: "Director Schneider, I will give you a script and a producer plan. You need to make a detailed shooting and production plan before I can make a decision."
"No problem." Zach Schneider immediately responded: "I will do my best."
Ronan gave some hope again: "Don't underestimate yourself, you are at the forefront of all 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 content, and left Relativity Entertainment.
As soon as he left the office building, Zach Schneider said to his agent: "Saidan, turn off all advertisements and MV invitations. I will not be doing other jobs during this period."
The broker hesitated and said, "This may affect your cooperation with some manufacturers."
Zach Schneider's eyes fell on the thick stack of information in his hand and said, "This is an opportunity to determine my future and destiny. I need to concentrate."
The agent thought for a while and said, "Okay." He opened the car door for Zach Schneider: "I talk to Robert Lee Neng of Relativity Entertainment, and I will ask him to inquire about the news in time."
In the office, Ronan was still watching Zach Schneider's information, especially when he shot commercials.
It is necessary for Zach Schneider to write a detailed video production plan based on the script. After all, he has not filmed any movies before. Who knows what he really thought?
Although it is very likely to continue the commercial style that focuses on formal expression instead of the so-called connotation and philosophical thinking of life, what if Zach Schneider has any idea and wants to shoot a movie that focuses on ideological connotation?
This is also Ronan confirms whether Zach Schneider will film "Dawn of the Living Dead" like he did.
After all, advertising directors with very strong commercial attributes also have cramps in their heads. The first half of Michael Bay and Escape from the Cloned Island are undoubtedly typical of them.
This is too scary for commercial films.
Ronan has read the information and specifically explained that when negotiating below, he would sign a director contract with Zach Schneider at least for two films.
In addition to "Dawn of the Living Dead", there is also "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", which has obtained the copyright of film and television adaptation.
Although the previous movie was successful, Zach Schneider did not form his own unique style. The latter had a profound impact on Zach Schneider's directorial career, giving Zach Schneider's works with a highly recognizable personal style.
While still on the other side of the Pacific, Ronan had seen almost all the movies directed by Zach Schneider, from "Dawn of the Living Dead" to "Watchmen" and then to "Batman v Superman", which was extremely impressive.
In Zach Schneider's movie, bloody violence is as elegant and gorgeous as a ballet. Massacre becomes 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 with slow motion. No matter what audiences evaluate his film content, he cannot deny the magnificence of his works.
Starting from "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", Zach Schneider's films are full of personal creations such as slow motion, dark tones, exaggerated violent presentation, etc. The tones are all thick and dark, like deep oil paintings, especially when it comes to comic adaptations, bringing it a serious feeling.
This also caused Zach Schneider's film to be mixed, and both the audience and the media have severely polarized comments.
I love what I like to the extreme, but I hate what I don’t like.
"Batman vs. Superman" undoubtedly magnifies this situation to the extreme.
In the eyes of the slag fans, the whole movie "Super Super" is like watching an elegant opera, which is very artistic and much stronger than Marvel's TV series superheroes. Marvel's hero movies are completely unnutrition. This is the ideal superhero movie in their hearts, a classic with a little darkness, a little depression, and a very meaningful and philosophical thoughts.
This film does have many extremely impressive shots, such as the Superman State Funeral presented in deep tones and high-speed slow motion, but more of them make non-comic fans confused.
"Masha", which uses its own comics, has become one of the most popular Internet memes for a while.
Perhaps, in the eyes of many people at that time, if DC, which was already seriously behind, had to take a different approach and find another way to catch up with Marvel movies, it should be darker, more serious, and more cruel...
But what the scumbag fans are waiting for is the first self-denial of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.
If a director who has directed "Avengers" and has a typical Marvel style, he will do post-production and editing for "Justice League" filmed by Zach Schneider, it can only be said that Warner Bros.'s senior executives are panicked and are already at a loss.
The island descendant who later took over the position of Warner Bros. had very limited capabilities in film.
Moreover, as the CEO of one of the six major companies, he fell at the gun of Mitu. Is our army not strong enough? Or is Mitu's Gundam?
Robert Lee was very efficient. Just on Wednesday, he reached an agreement with Eric Newman, and George Clint signed a production contract with Eric Newman on behalf of Shahai Entertainment.
Sandhai Entertainment invested a total of $20 million to shoot and produce the new version of "Dawn of the Living Dead", and Eric Newman will serve as the second producer and producer manager.
The project's copyright transfer fee is included in the $20 million budget.
In addition, Shahai Entertainment also paid $200,000 as the producer award for Eric Newman according to Hollywood practice.
The crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" was also officially established. As the publisher's Embassy Film Company, it was initially scheduled to release the film in 2004.
In terms of actors, it is still provided by Caa. Ronan specifically called Brian Lord to communicate, preparing to let the crew choose actors with certain qualifications and acting skills, but are there any very famous ones.
On the director's side, Ronan has enough patience to wait for news from Zach Schneider.
Embassy Films is currently busy preparing for the release of two films, one for the upcoming global premiere of "Lost Tokyo" at the opening Cannes Film Festival, and the other for "Summer of Jeans" to be released next month.
At the same time, "Spy Shadows 2" continued to be screened in North America, with the number of screening theaters increasing to 3,790, and the screening rate exceeded the previous release of "X-Men 2". Both the screening theaters and screening rate, they are temporarily ranked first in North America.
During these working days, due to the summer movie market effect, "Spy Shadows 2" has been operating at a high level, earning $9.15 million on Monday. Although the box office of each working day has decreased since then, it still received $30.56 million from Monday to Thursday. Before the second screening weekend, the box office in North America pushed the $100 million mark in one fell swoop.
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 North America, a film under Relativity Entertainment, which exceeded 100 million yuan.
This also greatly encouraged the confidence of the entire group company, especially for large-scale production film projects with high investment.
Even some people who were not optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean" are quietly changing their ideas. Maybe relativity entertainment can reverse the decline of Pirates' movies?
"Spy Shadows 2" has also come to its second screening weekend. Just like "X-Men 2" last weekend, it also faces the market impact of newly released popular movies.
This is a popular top science fiction production that is highly anticipated, and its first song has been praised by countless people as a masterpiece.
The 1999 "The Matrix" not only captured the attention of global audiences with its bold visual innovation, but also allowed a series of imitations such as commercial TV, music TV and movies to emerge, and the doubts about reality and identity are even more memorable.
This also allowed the Wachowski brothers, who can be called a newcomer in the film industry, to reach the top in almost one step, thus gaining the absolute right to speak for the sequel.
"The Matrix 2: Reloading", produced and released by Warner Bros., was released as scheduled on the third weekend of the summer season.
