Chapter 765 Human Skin Inn
Like George Lucas and James Cameron, Robert Zemekis is also one of the representatives of Hollywood technical directors. He has been seeking innovation and change in film technology for many years. In the Hollywood circle, he can be called the director of the modern ending of film innovation. Most of the movies he shoots are like adult fairy tales with unique styles.
Looking at Robert Zemikis's representative works, including the "Back to the Future" series and "Forrest Gump", his works always have clean purity, wonderful dreams, and warmth.
The director's works have always told stories full of innocence.
Steven Spielberg, who has supported Robert Zemikis, commented on him in this way: a child who never grows up, restlessly telling a story.
In fact, there is no need to find information. Ronan also has a clear understanding of Robert Zemekis based on his impression.
The output is not high, but it is all classic.
Robert Zemikis is a technical controller and a good storyteller.
In Hollywood, his omnipotence is obvious to all.
As an alumnus of the USC Film Academy, Ronan also had contacts with Robert Zemekis on the spot, otherwise he would not have been included in the director's shortlist.
This director is also a very suitable candidate for shooting fairy tale movies.
Having said that, are there any adult movies that are more fairy tale than Forrest Gump?
Ronan also had communication with Robert Zemekis about this.
Robert Zemikis has a deep attachment to some innocent things.
Therefore, when dealing with the character Forrest Gump, he did not portray him as a clown who made a fool of himself, but instead gave this reckless and honest character more positive colors.
The deputy director said: "Robert Zemikis has achieved many technical achievements. The clever combination of live-action and animation in 1988's "Who Kills the Rabbit" has become a milestone in the history of world film technology development. "Polar Express" released last year uses cg live-action capture and cg animation technology for the first time to present the characters in reality vividly in 3D animation movies."
In fact, the corresponding choice is not difficult, and "Alice in Wonderland" still follows "Avatar" to borrow the east wind.
Ronan quickly made a decision: "So, pause your contact with Tim Burton. George, send an invitation to Robert Zemekis; Brind, you go to contact Robert Zemekis's agent."
He thought about it and said, "Don't give up on Tim Burton, they are not the first choice for directors in Alice in Wonderland."
Brinder hurriedly said, "Okay."
George Clint suggested: "Ronan, you are alumni with Robert Zemikis, say hello to him in advance?"
"I will." Ronan nodded slightly: "I will call Robert Zemikis this afternoon."
When directors of Robert Zemikis are of the same level, their pay is basically clear, and there is basically no possibility that Ronan will take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices.
In fact, whether Tim Burton or Robert Zemikis, they all need high-paying employment for Shahai Entertainment.
These two are both well-known veteran directors in the industry.
The small-scale communication about Alice in Wonderland will soon end, as Tim Burton asked Johnny Depp to be the leading actor, Ronan finally made the choice to look for a new director.
After the meeting, Ronan did not leave immediately and asked George Clint about the shooting of "The Hangover".
This comedy movie, with an investment of only $20 million, will be a very important step for Relative Entertainment in the comedy movie genre.
Embassy Films has also formulated a corresponding promotional and distribution plan for "The Hangover". If there is no big surprise in the shooting and production, the comedy film will be released next year, that is, in 2006.
If the first part can be successful, "Hangover" will definitely be serialized.
To a certain extent, its serialized routine is very similar to "The God of Death".
The routines in the "Hangover" series were once very typical. On the eve of the wedding, bad friends had a crazy bachelor party. After a night of hangover, they lost their memory completely, but the whole crew collapsed and fell into crisis, so they had to solve the mystery and save their lives.
In terms of actors, the three good friends who are the key male protagonists in college are starring Bradley Cooper, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill.
This is also the cast that Ronan finalized.
Seth Logan and Jonah Hill have been in Hollywood for several years, and they are both new actors with certain qualifications.
The film is relatively large in scale and will definitely be R-level.
Someone once said that it is not an R-level Hollywood comedy, it is definitely not a good movie.
The routine of American comedy, with a few lines at most, and the topic starts to go three ways.
Ronan still remembers watching a super large-scale Hollywood comedy movie. Two male protagonists were hunted by killers on the grassland, and there was no place to hide. Then he found a herd of elephants and hid in Zigong, a female elephant.
As a result, a male elephant came over and wanted to applaud the mother elephant for love...
Seeing this, even people like Ronan couldn't stand it. They turned off the player and deleted the comedy comedy movie that didn't even remember the name.
Many funny scenes and jokes in American comedy, if viewed from the eyes of many oriental audiences, are like American horror movies, and are more disgusting.
Ronan still remembers that a colleague heard someone in the office talk about "Hangover", and after get off work, he downloaded it and read it with great enthusiasm. When he came back the next day, he asked: "Where is the funny thing? Where is the funny thing? Not only did I finish watching it seriously, I fell asleep in the process..."
Compared with horror movies, comedy movies are actually more affected by cultural differences.
The focus of the release area of the film "Hangover" is the European and American markets, and the Eastern Asian markets can be calculated as much as you can.
Luo Nan then went to the screenwriter department. He had officially submitted his thoughts about Teddy Bear to the screenwriter department in writing. Shahai Entertainment is currently recruiting suitable screenwriters to create scripts.
Producers or production companies propose creativity and themes and recruit screenwriters to write scripts. This is the most typical Hollywood commercial script creation model.
In order to facilitate the creation of scripts, Ronan plans to ask Shahai Entertainment to hire screenwriters and let the screenwriters go to the company that produces teddy bears to experience it.
This is a typical propositional essay, and doing so will help deepen the emotional connection between the screenwriter and the character.
As for the teddy bear's character and style, there is no target to learn from for the time being, but Ronan gave a standard that this colored bear must break the sky with sloppy.
This movie can be said to be one of Ronan's most impressive Hollywood comedy movies.
He also wanted a comedy, and he was also impressed by it. It was not that the film was so beautiful, but that it was a film made in Hollywood. The theme plot was to assassinate the leader of a certain country...
In some ways, American hegemony is fully reflected in Hollywood.
These Hollywood filmmakers say that you are wrong, you are wrong, and right and wrong.
There is only one wonderful existence called "profit".
For profit, they dared to hack the Washington authorities.
Ronan has watched countless Hollywood movies, and it seems that only the tax bureau has not been truly blackened by Hollywood movies.
It is estimated that all those who have hacked the tax bureau have been checked.
Having said that, how many companies, big and small, and countless taxpayers across the United States have no tax problems?
"Teddy Bear" has just begun its earliest plan, and it would be nice to complete the script this year.
Unfortunately, Ronan can never remember the name of the director who once sang "Mimi Song" at the Oscars.
As the Oscars become more politically correct, the choice of films has become more and more obscene and niche. The most direct consequence is that the ratings of the award ceremony are declining every year.
So, that director was able to sing such songs on the awards ceremony stage.
Without the consent or default of the director and production team, such songs will definitely not appear.
This also illustrates a problem. In a few years, the Oscars will also need to attract the audience's attention by attracting their talents.
If you really can't find a suitable candidate then, Todd Phillips, the current director of "Hangover", can do it too.
The young director in his thirties has extensive experience in filming comedy films.
In mid-April, the box office of "Hellboy" released by Embassy Pictures last month exceeded US$80 million in North America, and nearly US$60 million overseas earned.
Relying solely on the box office, this alternative superhero movie can recover its investment.
This month, Relativity Entertainment also has films released. From preparation to shooting, production, and then to final promotional release, it was learned that Yijiang Film's "Human Skin Inn" took a very fast pace of less than half a year and often took two years to complete the big-scale commercial film.
The total investment of the film is only US$4 million, which is relatively small.
Correspondingly, the pressure to recover is much smaller.
Director Eli Ross is a typical admirer of Quentin Tarantino. He borrowed the shooting and production style of "Kill Bill". The already-standard "Human Skin Inn" made his blood soar.
During the filming, Eli Rose's crew used more than 1,000 liters of artificial plasma.
The effect is also obvious.
This kind of horror film in which the brain-dead young Americans were 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 big profit, but the chance of recovering investment is relatively high.
Eli Rose's film was also well made. He has directed a similar film "The Bones of the Bones" before, and he has learned the essence of this type of film.
