Chapter 614 Three Hundred Warriors

Unlike other film projects in Shahai Entertainment, for Ronan's ulterior motive, several small crews including "Dawn of the Living Dead", the post-production did not enter the studio of the Relativity Building, but continued to stay at Warner Studios.

Films such as "The Living Dead", "The Death is Coming 3", "Human Purge 4" and other films, Warner Studios' slightly outdated post-production studios are enough to meet their production requirements.

Ronan met Zach Schneider in the office building of the Warner Studios.

"Post production will be completed next month." Zach Schneider introduced the latest situation of the project to Ronan: "Now there is only some final work left in adding subtitles and sound editing."

Ronan nodded gently: "I saw the sample and it was taken well. As long as it was operated properly, there is a high possibility of success."

Zach Schneider is quite confident: "I've always been very excited to build these stories, and I like big action movies."

Hearing this, Ronan couldn't help but remember the films Zach Schneider had made. Whether it was "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", "Man of Steel" and "Super Super", the action scenes were indeed full of momentum.

Not to mention the quality of the film, just talking about the action scene design and rendering, the Marvel superhero movie was like a primary school student making a date in front of Zach Schneider's action scene.

Ronan asked, "Dawn of the Living Dead is about to be completed, Zach, what are your plans next?"

Zach Schneider smiled and deliberately reminded: "Ronan, I signed two movie contracts with Shahai Entertainment."

"That's right." Ronan said: "I came here and wanted to discuss it with you first."

It seems that Charles Rowan and Warner Bros. just put Zach Schneider on the alternative list. If you want to really get into their sight, Zach Schneider must have a promising business achievement.

Just one "Dawn of the Living Dead" is not enough.

Whether it is based on the interests of relativity entertainment or considering future superhero movies of DC Comics, it is very necessary for Zach Schneider to continue to get along with "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan".

Ronan waved to Connie, and Connie immediately handed over an illustration to Zach Schneider.

"Look, this is the masterpiece of the famous cartoonist Frank Miller " "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta." Ronan said very directly: "The copyright of this illustration is already in the hands of Shahai Entertainment. I plan to adapt it into a movie. You are the director's first choice."

Zach Schneider opened the illustration and looked at it carefully. The thick and heavy picture like an oil painting had a strong visual impact, which made him, a director who was an advertisement director and attached great importance to the color of the picture, instantly felt different.

Ronan briefly introduced: "This illustration describes the battle of King Leonida and Hot Spring Pass, a massacre, but it is shocking. Frank Miller said that "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is the pinnacle of his career. Zach, I have seen the advertisements you shot and also watched the sample of "Dawn of the Living Dead". I believe you can shoot the original work."

Zach Schneider closed the illustration: "Ronan, I will finish reading it as soon as possible and then reply to you."

Ronan nodded: "Yes."

Although the two parties have signed a director agreement for the two films, it is still a two-way choice for which film.

But Ronan believes that Zach Schneider will choose "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" because this illustration is too in line with Zach Schneider's aesthetic.

Frank Miller's protagonist attaches importance to having a cold and tragic temperament. For example, Christopher Nolan borrows a lot from "The Return of the Dark Knight". The old protagonist has retired for many years, but for various reasons, he has to go back to the world and fight against various evil forces. The best scene is the aging protagonist fighting his former comrade Superman.

In some ways, the characters Zach Schneider portrayed are not heavy enough, and Frank Miller's original works just make up for this, but the characters he is good at portraying are those tragic heroes who never end up losing hopelessly to fate, who lost the final battle but won the hearts of the people.

As for Frank Miller's opinion, it is not important. Now that the copyright has been in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, Ronan has the final say on how to choose a director.

I vaguely remember that there was a line in this film that was extremely popular - this is Sparta!

When the film becomes popular, maybe you can shoot a movie called "This is Not Sparta", and I guess it will have some market share.

Afterwards, Ronan went to several crews who also stayed at Warner Studios for post-production to watch. The sequels of horror movies such as "The Death Comes 3", "The Deadly Behind 3" and "Saw 2" will be released this year.

Although these sequel movies cannot get rid of the limitations of niche movies, they have cultivated a group of loyal audiences and can generate relatively stable returns.

Ronan specifically talked to James Windor.

"I'm not at ease with this series." Ronan said directly: "James, you insist on shooting another movie and then change to the producer of this series. If you have other ideas about horror movies, I will still support you with all my strength."

At this stage, if what James Winn did not produce a horror movie, then forget it.

James Win said: "Ronan, without you, there would be no success in Saw. I will complete the Saw trilogy and then shoot other horror movies."

Ronan asked, “Do you have other new ideas on horror movies?”

James Wen said with a smile: "It's just a vague concept. When I sort it out clearly, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Ronan smiled and said, "James, you are a genius in making horror movies. I believe you can create even greater achievements."

He was not in a hurry. James Wen signed a long contract with Shahai Entertainment and could wait patiently for the "Soul Conjuring" series.

Even if James Wen has no creativity in this area for a long time, he can make the script first.

None of these are difficult things.

It seems that James Winn later directed the "Fast and Furious" series.

After leaving Warner Studios, Ronan called George Clint specifically to learn about the "Fast and Furious" series.

After obtaining the copyright from Universal Pictures, he specially listed an outline of a new trilogy and handed it over to Shahai Entertainment's screenwriter department, allowing them to use this as a basis to create scripts with coherent plots.

The script writing is still in progress, and if it goes well, preparations will not start next year.

Ronan used Dwayne Johnson as the male lead in the filming of "Prison Break", which has been filmed so far. At that time, he had the idea to let Dwayne Johnson join the "Fast and Furious" series and become a leading figure.

As for Vin Diesel, Shahai Entertainment will invite him to star in the third part, competing with Dwayne Johnson, and finally die, allowing Don Don's close comrade Dwayne Johnson to be the core like Paul Walker.

The plan has been formulated, and it depends on how the scripts are created by Shahai Entertainment Screenwriter Department.

On the way to the Relativity Building, Ronan received a call from Mark Randolph. Netflix's streaming media has completed its technical preparations and is only waiting for the time to launch.

Mark Randolph focused on two opening dramas - "Prison Break" and "Survival in the Wild".

The latter has completed all the productions, and both small-scale internal trials have received extremely high praise; the former's post-production has also reached the end stage and can be completed soon.

These are important resources for Netflix streaming business promotion.

Shahai Entertainment is promoting the shooting and production of multiple projects at the same time, not only is the outside staring at it, but there is also competition inside.

Uvi Ball's "Bloods Ryan" crew and Guilmo del Toro's "Hellboy" crew were also attracted by Ron Pullman, who had a very distinctive appearance and wanted to invite Ron Pullman to play an important role. As a result, the two personalized directors not only made a fuss at Shahai Entertainment, but also called Ronnan respectively.

Ronan handled it cleanly and asked Uvey Ball and Gilmod Del Toro to hold a conference call together to make the two directors respect Ron Pullman's choice.

An actor like Ron Pullman is usually not interested in it, but unexpectedly, directors of both types of films like him very much.

Ronan thinks about Ron Pullman's appearance, and it seems very convincing. Ron Pullman, an actor with a very beautiful appearance, seems particularly suitable for playing some alternative roles.

In the end, Ron Pulma chose Guilmo del Toro's "Hellboy" crew.

The reason is no different. The absolute male lead given to Ron Pulma in "Hellboy", while in "Bloods", Uvi Ball is only preparing for a supporting role.

Uvi Ball may be as bad as ever, but after two movies, other abilities have gradually been trained. He actually contacted relevant departments in Bulgaria and obtained a considerable tax refund discount. Then he took the crew to Sofia to shoot.

In this way, the crew is equivalent to an extra $1 million in budget out of thin air.

To be honest, ignoring the bad production and shooting ability, how can people dislike real people like Brother Bao?

Even if Brother Bao can't make it in the director industry, he is more than enough to be an external producer.

Luo Nan believes that Brother Bao is a talent, and the most time can shock some shameless film critics who scold for the sake of scolding.

As soon as Brother Bao appeared, the film critics avoided it!

Unfortunately, Brother Bao never touched his favorite love, and Ronan did not do much about the relationship between Blizzard and Vivendi.
