Chapter 648: Death Comes as Promised

Since the release of the first film, the "Death is Coming" series has attracted a large number of loyal fans of "Death and Death" and "Fear of Death" through the first and second installments.

When "Death Comes" first came out, it received widespread attention for its unique conception and thrilling storyline, which benefited the unknown Shahai Entertainment a lot, and made outstanding contributions to Ronan's original capital accumulation, becoming one of the main sequels of Relativity Entertainment today.

At the premiere, Ronan also worked hard to praise this already quite popular film.

"The appeal of this series of films is not only due to the horror and gore similar to other horror films, but also because of the tight pace and endless suspense, which can be described as terrifying. Ronan talked eloquently in front of many reporters, and the words spoken by the gold medal producer attracted the attention of the media: "As the source of the horror of the film, the appearance of death is not only mysterious, but also highlights the taste of fate, the struggle of the characters in the film against fate not only does not eliminate the hidden dangers, but instead involves more people in the whirlpool of death, and the insignificance of life and the difficulty of fate make the film have an extra layer of gray charm." ”

Seeing director James Wong coming to the media area, Ronan took the initiative to leave and gave up the place to him.

Coming to the photo area, Eliza Cuthbert, the heroine of the film, took the initiative to come over to say hello.

This blonde actress from Canada can be called a stunner, with a seemingly petite body, but extremely sexy curves.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson. Eliza Cusper's eyes burned.

Ronan nodded slightly: "Hello." ”

This is the heroine decided by the crew through audition, and in "The Actress Next Door", which was released in March, it has caused a lot of repercussions among teenagers.

Someone came over to take a picture, and Ronan and Eliza Cuthbert stood in front of the Netflix advertising background and took a photo together.

Then, more people from the crew came over, and Eliza Cuthbert didn't have a chance to talk to Ronan anymore.

Ronan chatted with James Wong's good friend Glenn Morgan, the "Death is Coming" trilogy, and the scripts are all written by Glenn Morgan.

This one is indeed unique in terms of horror film script creation.

"I'm already working on the script for the fourth part. Glenn Morgan said to Ronan, "It will probably be done by the end of August." ”

Ronan heard something else and said, "I hope we can continue to work together." ”

For these talented talents, who have proven themselves in the market, and do not have a long-term contract, Ronan attaches great importance to them, will not be stingy in terms of money, and usually does not hesitate to keep people.

But sometimes, when the pay is about the same, the project is the key.

Glenn Morgan said to Ronan: "In the horror genre, I have created too many repetitive works, and if I continue, there will be no new breakthroughs, I may have to try something else." ”

Not surprised, Ronan asked, "Got a suitable project?"

If Glenn Morgan's project is valuable, he's happy to continue hiring him as a screenwriter.

"I'm talking to Paramount Pictures. Glenn Morgan didn't mean to hide it from Ronan, and said directly: "Ms. Anne Hurd has a project about a sci-fi female warrior, and it has been confirmed that Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron will be the heroine, and she has approached my agent several times and intends to hire me to write the script. ”

Ronan nodded: "Anne Hurd's work." He smiled, "Good luck, Glenn." ”

Having experienced James Wong and Ang Lee twice, Ronan no longer casually persuades others, and many successful film directors or people in other professions have their stubborn side.

Field experience has shown that such persuasion is thankless.

Ronan didn't say anything more, waited for the drama group to end, and went directly to the theater.

Is it the sci-fi female warrior project in which Charlize Theron plays the heroine?

It seems that many film companies do not believe in the Oscar-winning curse and are full of confidence in Charlize Theron, the new Best Actress.

Ronan knew about the project and had seen the film before, the only thing that was a little surprising was that Gail Anne Hurd turned out to be the first producer.

Anne Hurd is James Cameron's ex-wife, and among all James Cameron's ex-wives, her appearance is closest to the public's aesthetics, and her most famous work is to initiate and produce the first two "Terminators".

In the words of the other side of the Pacific, Anne Hurd is James Cameron's Bole.

It's a pity that the one who really tamed the thousand-mile horse of James Cameron was a very inconspicuous woman named Susie Amis.

Because of James Cameron, Anne Hurd is also one of several Hollywood producers that Ronan was relatively familiar with.

It's not as good as the famous Jerry Bruckheimer and others, but it's about the same as Jon Landau, who used to be James Cameron's perennial collaborator.

It seems that in addition to the "Terminator" series, Anne Hurd also served as a producer of a very influential series after 2010.

What is it exactly?

Ronan frowned slightly, even though he was sitting in the theater, he was still recalling this aspect of the content.

Connie, who had been Ronan's assistant for many years, knew his habits and whispered to the side that stopped the people who came to say hello.

Anne Hurd has been linked to the Marvel superhero film franchise, and in this regard, it is certain that she worked as a producer on The Punisher and was supposed to have filmed and produced two films.

Later, he served as a producer on the side of Universal Pictures in "The Incredible Hulk" cooperated by Marvel and Universal Pictures.

Not a Marvel series.

None of the other movies seem to make him remember the name.

Ronan simply stopped thinking about it, came to his senses, and shook hands with Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich, who came over to say hello.

"When will you return to Part 3?" Ronan asked deliberately, "I'm waiting for you here." ”

Milla Jovovich smiled and said: "I can do it at any time. ”

Paul Anderson, who is more familiar with Ronan, half-jokingly said, "We've adjusted and will be back fighting zombies soon." ”

Ronan's heart moved, but he didn't show it, and continued to exchange a few pleasantries with Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich, and then sat back in his chair.

That's right, it's zombies!

The words of zombies reminded Ronan that another famous project of Annie Hurd is not a movie, but a TV series!

At this point, Ronan remembered - "The Walking Dead", a zombie-themed TV series based on the comics!

Touched, more and more related memories began to appear faintly.

It wasn't long after he was promoted, and this American drama was extremely popular on the Internet, almost on par with "Game of Thrones", and he was affected by this and watched it, but he quickly retreated because it didn't meet his aesthetics.

This film can be fried so hot, which means that the quality must be guaranteed, but a good quality film may not be suitable for everyone, otherwise there will not be so many good films hitting the street.

Ronan watched "The Walking Dead" with the expectation of watching zombies, but he was naturally disappointed, the pace of the drama was slow, not so much a zombie movie, but a literary drama that tells the battle between people in the guise of zombies.

It didn't match expectations, so it was naturally thrown aside.

But "The Walking Dead" has been filmed.

It's not clear whether it's over or not, because he has a limited understanding of the series.

Ronan looked at Connie sitting next to him and asked, "Do you think Alice is handsome to fight zombies?"

Connie found this question inexplicable, but replied, "I don't really like this kind of subject. ”

Ronan didn't know if the related comics were out, so he could only say: "I remember where I saw the zombie-themed comics, I forgot the specific name, you can collect this theme." ”

Connie quickly wrote it down: "I'll send someone to do it tomorrow." ”

Ronan nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned to look at the big screen that lit up.

"The Grim Reaper is Coming" reached the third part, in fact, there was no breakthrough, and from the perspective of the lowest risk, it followed the successful routine of the first and second parts.

For this kind of bloody film, there is no need to think about any ideological significance or artistic value, as long as it is enough to be happy.

By now, everyone knows the routine of the "Death is Coming" series: some people survive a disaster, and soon after, they will die mysteriously one after another, all of them will die, and none of them will be missing, and one of them - either a handsome guy or a beautiful woman - can anticipate people's fate and then try to prevent the tragedy from happening, but the end is doomed, and no one can survive...... Fate is irreversible, and death is invincible.

In short, death always comes.

James Wong is back in the series, and the effect is generally not bad, constantly innovating in the way of death, and ensuring that there are no duplicates.

Although the elaborate roller coaster tragedy at the beginning is very fake in terms of special effects due to budget constraints, the hilarious and jubilant mass deaths are still eye-catching and shocking.

In addition, the scale of the film continues to upgrade, with more blood, more brains, and the character's death is becoming more and more tragic and perverted.

Like headshots, dismemberments, people being smashed into a big lump of poop and the like, it's all trivial.

When the third part of the patterned horror film was filmed, there was actually no gimmick to watch, nothing more than to see how the characters died.

The Grim Reaper came as promised, and then the character died after being addicted.

Like "Saw", the biggest feature of this type of horror film appeared almost all in the first part.

For Hollywood, which is conservative and more focused on commercial success, stable, low-risk business-based movies are undoubtedly the safest choice.

Even Ronan is no exception.

The premiere of the movie went smoothly, and at the end of the movie, the "Grim Reaper fans" applauded enthusiastically, and they basically bought it quite well, and also guaranteed the most basic income of the movie.
