As far as Relativity Entertainment's film project is concerned, Gianna Quan has only participated in one "Fast and Furious" series so far, and has no other work for the time being, except for continuing to participate in "Grey's Anatomy".

An honest and reliable person like Ronan certainly wouldn't do anything to turn his face and not recognize people.

He then called Will Smith.

Some time ago, when Ronan was on the crew of "The Departed" in New York, he saw a remake of "I Am Legend" from Will Smith.

Once Ronan also saw this film, and Will Smith carried the box office alone.

It is also the source of the famous "opening a dog".

It's a pity that this is a remake, and the original film rights and other related rights have been in the hands of Warner Bros. for decades, and even if Ronan remembers, there is no other way.

Will Smith has been in the limelight in the past two years, and strictly speaking, he can already be classified as a superstar.

In order to hire Will Smith, Warner Bros. not only paid $25 million plus the post-share salary, but also gave Will Smith almost the same power as a producer.

There are not many actors who can really appear in the film, but in the selection of other actors, Will Smith has a heavyweight voice.

Ronan didn't need to be polite to Will Smith, and called directly to recommend him a heroine.

Then, Gianna Quan went to audition for the "I Am Legend" set, and Alice Braga, a Brazilian Latino actress originally intended to be used by Warner Bros., got stuck on the final audition.

Gianna Quan, who has online acting skills and has also practiced her English, passed the audition very smoothly and got the third most role in the crew besides Will Smith and the dog.

Being able to partner with Will Smith is enough for the entertainment media of the first country in the universe to blow for a year.

Of course, in their eyes, maybe Will Smith is not a non-chief, but a stick.

Will Smith, who is temporarily back in Los Angeles, has specially attended the premiere of Land of the Living Dead because of Ronan's invitation and the fame of George Romero, the father of zombies.

The zombie movie, which ultimately cost only $8 million, was shot and produced by George Romero in less than seven months, and then pushed into theaters by Embassy Pictures.

George Romero's return to the mountains to shoot zombie movies has also become the biggest gimmick in publicity and promotion.

Although in the 80s of the last century, George Romero almost completely made the zombie movies he carried forward, such as "Zombies Out of the Cage" and other zombie films with a bad reputation among the audience to a certain extent, almost completely destroyed the genre.

But the audience is forgetful, and public opinion treats an old man more tolerantly, nearly 20 years have passed, and basically no one mentions George Romero's zombie movies that are so bad that no one watches them, but the name of the father of zombie movies has spread widely.

Since last year's "Dawn of the Living Dead", George Romero has also learned his lessons, abandoning many old-fashioned zombie films that are not suitable for the current setting, and recreating a more modern and entertaining zombie.

For example, in the test screening, the zombies will be subconsciously attracted by the fireworks, and they will be praised by the audience at the test screening.

Relativity Entertainment has also been continuously promoted on the Internet, continuing to hype George Romero's pioneering and important role in zombie films, and has also completely confirmed George Romero's status as the "father of zombie films".

George Romero's new zombie film has also attracted the attention of countless zombie culture lovers.

At the premiere scene, it can be said that "zombies" gathered, and real zombie culture lovers dressed themselves up as zombies.

In addition to these ordinary zombie fans, there are also professional-level people present.

Like Robert Kirkman.

This is the script writer of "The Walking Dead", who has been hired by Shahai Entertainment to serve as a special consultant for the script adaptation of "The Walking Dead".

The series plan has been put on the daily basis, the script is being written, and Ronan is also looking for the right director.

According to the plan finalized by Netflix Streaming and Shahai Entertainment, the first season of "The Walking Dead" will be released next winter or in the spring of 2007.

Of course, the plans are still cautious, and the first season will only have about eight episodes.

This drama is not suitable for launching too late, once it does not have the advantages and aura of the first zombie drama, its follow-up effect may be discounted to a certain extent.

"The Walking Dead" can be said to be a zombie drama in the early stage, and the zombie background is simply used as a coat in the back.

In terms of personal hobbies alone, Ronan still prefers the type of zombie fighting.

Chainsaw plus zombies, that's the ultimate romance for men.

At the door of the theater, Ronan met Will Smith, who said, "This zombie everywhere is too easy to be impulsive." ”

Ronan deliberately joked, "Have your tastes changed again?"

Will Smith's swarthy face instantly darkened, and he said, "How could I possibly be interested in zombies?"

Ronan said in a very serious tone: "Will, I have a project here that is very suitable for you, called "My Happy Life with the Zombie Girl". ”

Will Smith was completely defeated, emphatically: "I'm just a fan of George Romero!"

Ronan put away the joke and said, "You're also going to star in a zombie movie." ”

Will Smith nodded: "There aren't many zombies, but they're powerful." ”

Ronan said: "I read the script and looked at the setting, it should be the most powerful zombie in zombie movies." ”

"Pretty much. Will Smith thought for a moment and said, "Except for the mutated zombie monsters in "Resident Evil" filmed by your company. ”

Ronan shrugged: "Those can't be considered zombies. He changed the subject: "Gianna's business, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Are you still polite to me?" Will Smith said seriously, "Since we met, although I have never said it, it has always been clear that you have always helped me, but I can't help you." This role can finally make me give you some favors. ”

As he spoke, he laughed to himself.

Ronan didn't continue the conversation, after all, it was just a small matter for Will Smith and him.

Later, Ronan met George Romero in the lobby of the theater.

"I've seen the test screening. Ronan was full of praise for the film: "A masterpiece. ”

George Romero said: "I myself feel that 'Land of the Living Dead' is the best zombie film I've ever made, and I may never be able to do it to this extent again." ”

Ronan said, "How so? Fans are still waiting for your new work." ”

said so, but Ronan knew in his heart that what George Romero said was the truth, it was not that George Romero couldn't keep up with the times or his ability was degraded, but that his body was not good.

During the filming of "Land of the Living Dead", Allianz, which provided insurance services for the crew, warned Shahai Entertainment more than once that George Romero's health was worrying.

Allianz Insurance even made it clear that if Shahai Entertainment cooperates with George Romero again, it will not provide life insurance for George Romero again.

George Romero's heart is not old, but his body is old.

For the sake of the safety of the crew and the safety of George Romero, Ronan decided not to continue working with him.

And also asked George Clint to talk to George Romero specifically and persuade him to be quiet and recuperate.

Frankly, Giorgio Romero is not short of money.

Ronan is very fond of zombie movies and hopes that the father of modern zombie movies will live a few more years.

It's a pity that Uncle Nine left too early, otherwise it would have been very enjoyable to let George Romero shoot a film about Uncle Nine vs. Zombies.

There are successors to zombie movies, Hollywood, including Relativity Entertainment, many companies are still continuing to develop this genre, and there will definitely be more excellent zombie movies in the future.

But in the genre of zombie films, perhaps no one can surpass Uncle Nine.

Premiere screenings began quickly, and George Romero added a lot of new things to the traditional zombie film.

Such as zombies and fireworks, such as the zombie revolution throughout the story!

In this film, zombies are no longer only instinctive, they have initially appeared conscious, and George Romero deliberately chose a black zombie as the leader of the zombie group to change the life of the white-led human settlement.

As a result, the zombies, who are at the bottom of the film's character structure, under the leadership of Black Lives, rushed into the human settlement with politically correct steps, overthrew the evil rule of the white bourgeoisie who rode on the heads of ordinary people and a group of zombies to exploit, and exiled the petty bourgeoisie who did not have a firm position, thus turning over and becoming the masters and establishing the zombie dictatorship.

Since then, the zombies have stood up!

This is a zombie movie!

The only purpose is to make it enjoyable for audiences who like zombie culture.

There is no doubt that Land of the Living Dead achieves this purpose.

The most direct embodiment is the box office of the film.

In the opening weekend, "Land of the Living Dead" earned $15.24 million in 3,256 theaters won by Embassy Pictures, thus ensuring that it could recoup its investment by relying solely on the North American box office.

Although the film's reputation is very bad, the Rotten Tomatoes index is outrageously low, the media score is 4.5 points, and even the IMDB score is not good, but how many zombie movies have a good reputation?

This kind of film, as long as a specific hobby group can watch it well, and the film company can make money, it means success.

And outside the big screen of theaters, zombie films have always been very popular in the rental market.

Just like there are a lot of Uncle Nine hardcore on the other side of the Pacific, zombie movies have never lacked audiences in the West.

may think that the mentally retarded plot and setting of other audiences, in the eyes of zombie movie lovers, is a cool point that can give goosebumps.

After nearly two decades, George Romero's appeal among zombie fans is even stronger than in the seventies and eighties.

The success of "Land of the Living Dead" also proves one thing, the genre of zombie films still has considerable market vitality.
