Chapter 876: Plasma Feast

Compared with Frank Dragrant, Drew Gundam has a much worse resume, but he has two advantages that are very obvious.

First of all, and most critical, his philosophy is almost the same as that of Ronan. The relevant plans submitted to Shahai Entertainment focus on the horror of this doomsday world and the survival of the threat of zombies, rather than revealing the true meaning of life or the darkness of human nature.

Secondly, Drew Gundam seems to have a bad reputation and a very average resume. In fact, he has been in the industry for a very long time and has worked for relativistic entertainment for many years.

Since Jerever Abrams' filming of "Hurricane Rescue", Drew Gundam has been working for Relativity Entertainment, including "Hurricane Rescue 2" which will be released this holiday season. He is Jerever Abrams' deputy.

In the "Lost" drama, which has ended all filming, Drew Gundam directed two of them as the director. Ronan has seen the first cut version, which can be said to be quite good.

This is not the first time Drew Gundam directed a series independently. As early as the late 1990s, he collaborated with Jos Whedon to serve as the director of the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Later, he participated in the two dramas "Angel" and "Double-Faced Female Spy".

That's why he got a joint recommendation from Jos Whedon and Jerever Abrams.

It’s hard to say about Jos Whedon, after all, he just collaborated with Relativity Entertainment, and the "Hulk" project directed by him is still in preparation for the preliminary preparations.

But Jerever Abrams is a long-term partner of Relativity Entertainment, with very good vision and ability. Ronan trusts him to a certain extent.

There is also an equally critical point. Compared with directors such as Frank Dragonte, Drew Gundam can be said to be his own person in the entertainment of relativity.

With many years of experience in the industry, similar creative ideas, experience of independently directing successful dramas many times, and endorsing a well-known director who has worked with Relativity Entertainment for many years, Ronan has no reason to choose a director whose artistic concepts float in the air and give up a more down-to-earth director.

After confirming the director, the crew quickly began to recruit actors.

Ronan doesn't remember who had been an actor at all, but what Hollywood lacks the most is actors.

In addition to this project, another horror thriller TV series project is also progressing steadily.

Shahai Entertainment previously sent people to collect horror materials across the United States, with some of the Warren and his wife being reserved for Wen Ziren, and some of the remaining materials were adapted into TV series scripts.

This project was also named "American Horror Story" by Ronan.

According to Ronan's request, the scale of this series will be very large, including elements such as plasma, horror and astringent, and will not be smaller than that of Huangbaotai such as HBO.

To be precise, the first season will be a retro-style plasma feast.

As long as the scale is large enough, this type of drama will definitely have an audience.

Moreover, Shahai Entertainment has collected too much material, including many widely circulated horror stories.

The audience of this drama must be a group over 18 years old.

But the horror type also has a considerable number of authorizations among teenagers, especially those who surf the Internet.

Ronan specifically told Shahai Entertainment Production Department to use the extensive material collected to see if there is any possibility of creating a thrilling and mysterious drama for the teenagers.

There was once a mysterious thriller series of Netflix. Although Ronan had never watched it, he heard colleagues around him frequently mention the name "Little 11" more than once.

This led to him not remembering the name of the series, but instead remembering "Little 11".

It seems that many people or media are saying that this "Little 11" has unlimited prospects in Hollywood in the future.

Most child stars in Hollywood are ruined after adulthood, but many have achieved great success, even better than they were in childhood.

The audience of the teenager group cannot be ignored. They are more frequent online and often lack rational consumption. As long as the series is attractive, the chance of buying Netflix members is very high.

Netflix streaming media attaches great importance to this market and has communicated with Shahai Entertainment several times, demanding to increase the development of related dramas.

The second season of "Gossip Girl" has been completed and will start filming soon.

But just one movie "Gossip Girl" is far from meeting the future needs of Netflix streaming media, and Shahai Entertainment naturally needs new teenage themes.

At Ronan's suggestion, the teenager's mysterious theme temporarily used "Little 11" as the project code.

In addition, Ronan and Shahai Entertainment are also looking for new episode materials.

Surprisingly, Robert Iger recommended a project to Ronan, the exact point of recommendation of the director and producer who had worked with Walt Disney.

Recently, he has been traveling between Maple Leaf Pictures, Disney and New York. Robert Iger finally had time and chatted with Ronan for a long time on Disney affairs and discussed the next progress.

After lunch together, Robert Eiger suddenly asked, "I heard you launched a blacklist plan?"

Luo Nan held the black tea, took a sip, and said, "The company's material collection surface is still good. We finalized two projects on the first batch of blacklists."

It should be that news came from London that John Wilson and the Ministry of Justice reached an agreement with the British producer to buy out the copyright of "Shameless" for £5 million.

The show just aired its first season in the UK and has not attracted much attention yet.

Robert Eiger said: "I have a project recommendation, too."

"You have, too?" Ronan became interested: "Bob, have you read the script recently?"

In Relativity Entertainment, Robert Eiger never participates in the production of specific movies or TV series.

Robert Iger said: "A director and producer I met at Disney used to find me two days ago and marketed me his TV series project."

"Disney?" Ronan was puzzled.

Robert Eiger said: "You know the situation in Disney, which has become more and more messy recently and has begun to affect the company's daily operations. Steven Pettman has repeatedly promoted his new projects to Disney, but has not received any response, so he came to me."

Ronan pinched his chin and asked, "Steven Petman, this name sounds familiar."

Robert Eiger said: "He is also a veteran director and producer in the industry. He has worked with Barbara Streisand on "The Cool" and has also filmed the movie "How to Win the Millionaire" two years ago."

Barbara Streisand Ronan knows that this is the most successful star in the Hollywood industry.

Ronan asked: "Do you know the specific situation of the project?"

"I didn't read the script or something, but I support Steven Petman saying it's a teenage sitcom." Robert Egg said simply: "I have known Steven Petman for many years. He is a very thoughtful and reliable director and producer, so I recommend it to you."

Ronan knows Robert Iger. If Steven Patman is not reliable, he will definitely not mention it.

"Okay." Ronan said: "When will he have time? Let him come to me directly."

Robert Eiger said: "I'll call him."

After calling, the other side quickly responded. Steven Patman happened to be at the headquarters of the Film Academy in Beverly Hills and immediately rushed to the Relativity Building.

Worried about affecting Ronan's judgment, after introducing Steven Petman to Ronan, Robert Iger took the initiative to leave and left, showing that he would not participate in the content production business with practical actions.

"This is the script of the project." Steven Petman opened the briefcase and took out the relevant materials: "This is the plan."

Ronan took over the script, which was named a woman - Hannah Montana.

This should be the title of the drama. Hollywood has always had a tradition of directly naming the protagonist.

"The script of the project was written by Michel Boyes, but the copyright is already in my hands." Steven Petman introduced the project as much as possible: "Don't worry about copyright issues."

Ronan flipped through the script and asked, "It is said that you originally planned to work with Disney?"

Steven Petman said with a smile: "I have been working with Disney, but the situation in Disney..." He shook his head: "At this stage, Disney is not a good partner."

For people with certain qualifications in Hollywood, especially directors and producers, cooperation is often a two-way choice.

Luo Nan frowned slightly and looked at the script: "It seems that there is some content missing?"

"This is a teenage music sitcom, and Michelle Boyes and I don't know how to write music, and the songs need to be created with professionals," said Steven Patman.

Ronan nodded slowly. If this drama is successful, music is very important.

However, once it is successful, it is very likely to become a hit youth idol drama, and the heroine in it may even become a big hit.

Just like the heroine in the script, become a big star!

In the script story, the heroine is a split person: half is an ordinary person, and the other half is a popular singer.

The heroine is an ordinary identity as a middle school student, but the other identity is actually Hannah Montana, an idol star who is popular all over the United States. She has always used a golden wig to hide her brown hair, so no one has ever recognized her true identity. She, her family and friends are full of jokes in order to keep a secret.

Although it is a sitcom, there are many scenes in which Hannah Montana performs.

These are not formalities, but really to sing.

The script Ronan said before was incomplete, which means that all the songs in the singing scenes were completely blank.

Few screenwriters and producers understand pop music creation, which requires professionals or even a professional team to build.

"I have contacted several music creation teams," Steven Petman said at this time: "But it needs funds to start."

Ronan closed the script and looked at the name of "Hannah Montana" on the cover, and couldn't help but think of a word.
Chapter completed!
