Chapter 195: The requirements are simple
Leaving the Burger King front desk, Amanda Seyfried walked towards a less crowded area with a large tray of fast food items like burgers, fries, and fried chicken thighs.
Ronan was on the phone before, and as soon as he hung up, he saw Amanda Seyfried coming over, and quickly caught up with her and took the tray in her hand.
"Wait for me in a moment. ”
Amanda Seyfried said a word, ran back to the front desk, and soon came over with another tray.
"So much?" Ronan took it and placed it on the table.
Amanda laughed and said, "I'm hungry." ”
Ronan gestured to the tray on the table, "Hurry up and eat." ”
Amanda picked up a burger and asked, "What about your two bodyguards? Would you like to buy some for them?"
"David and Finch?" Ronan said, "Leave them alone. ”
The bodyguards will take care of the catering on their own.
"I ate it. Amanda grabbed the burger and took a big bite.
Ronan was also polite and picked up another burger.
This Western-style fast food is cheap and easy to fill, and the taste is okay.
Think about it in my previous life, when I was a child, I was able to eat KFC and McDonald's, which was a very luxurious behavior.
As the first Western-style fast-food chain to enter the East, KFC and McDonald's have undergone drastic changes with their positioning in the West.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long for these two fast food restaurants to return to their original appearance.
Amanda is not big, and her body is also thin, but she is very edible, and she can eat a hamburger after dividing five by two.
Then she picked up the fries again and began to eat them.
I also took the time to drink happy water in the middle.
Not knowing if it's a developing relationship, Ronan discovers that Amanda Seyfried can eat better than him.
A burger, a large portion of fries, a fried chicken thigh, and half a glass of happy water, but in just ten minutes, it went into Amanda's small mouth.
It's so edible, and it's so thin, it's not scientific.
Ronan just ate most of the burger, half a fries, and couldn't eat anymore.
Amanda, who was on the other side, was wiping her oily mouth with a tissue, noticed Ronan's slightly surprised gaze, and smiled embarrassedly: "I was too nervous in the morning, I didn't eat much." ”
"Is that enough?" Ronan shoved his share of the drumsticks to her side.
Amanda hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm full, really." She hurriedly pushed the chicken leg back to Ronan's side: "Mom usually doesn't let me eat these, saying that actors should stay in shape and eat less, and I can't eat enough every time." ”
Ronan said, "You're growing your body, and you need to make sure you're nourishing. ”
"Actually, I belong to the kind of people who have a hard time gaining weight. Amanda seems to have researched in this area: "I have specifically observed that I eat a lot more than my peers, but I have never gained weight. ”
Ronan nodded: "You're on the thin side." ”
Amanda was a little embarrassed again: "Ronan, I invite you to dinner, and you have to accommodate me." She grabbed her curly blonde hair and said, "I don't have much money, so I can only afford hamburgers and fries." ”
"It's already good. Ronan picked up a french fry, stuffed it in his mouth, and said, "It tastes good." ”
"It's french fries. Amanda knew that Ronan was comforting her.
Ronan swallowed the fries and said, "But the fries were bought by Amanda Seyfried, and they taste different." ”
Hearing this, Amanda Seyfried seemed to have been hit by something, and suddenly she was a little stunned, and then she reacted again, with a heartfelt smile on her face.
She smiled more and more happily: "Ronan, if you like it, I'll invite you next time." ”
Ronan smiled and said, "I'll invite you next time." ”
"It's fine. Amanda considered the two to be friends, and was not polite, saying, "I don't know when I will be able to save up the money to ask you again." ”
Ronan wondered: "What about your salary?"
Amanda said: "It's all at Mom's. Mother ......" she was a little dissatisfied: "Mom is very strict with me, if I didn't say to invite you to dinner today, I can't come out alone at all, my pocket money has a fixed amount every day, just enough to spend." ”
Ronan pushed the chicken leg in front of Amanda again, Amanda subconsciously picked it up, bit the chicken leg hard, and said: "The money I invite is the remuneration for performing at the community theater, not much, so I can only invite you to eat fast food." ”
"Thank you. Ronan said sincerely, "This is the best meal I've had this year." ”
Amanda realized that she had eaten Ronan's chicken legs, and said embarrassedly, "I didn't pay attention." ”
Ronan waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm full, you can eat." ”
Amanda silently nibbled on the chicken legs, felt that the taste was particularly fragrant, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said: "Mom manages a lot, from pocket money to making friends, so I still have no friends of the same age." ”
She complained a little: "The money I earn never reaches my hands, and my mother always says that I am too young to have too much money in my hands, otherwise it is easy to learn badly." I'm fifteen years old. ”
Ronan could see the good intentions of a mother, and Mrs. Seyfried could be said to be a very competent mother compared to the likes of Macaulay-Culkin's parents.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
I am afraid that many people can only understand this when they become parents.
Ronan looked at the girl opposite, with a bit of innocence in her agility, and said: "The Hollywood circle is very complicated, and your mother is protecting you." ”
"I know. Amanda is not stupid, nor is she rebellious: "It's just that it's too restrictive, and it's a little distressing." ”
Ronan added, "Your mother loves you so much, I can see that. ”
Amanda answered, and went back to dealing with the chicken legs.
After eating the chicken legs, Ronan handed over the tissue, Amanda wiped her mouth next, and asked, "Ronan, if there is something I don't understand in the future, can I call you and ask you?"
"Yes. Ronan smiled and said, "But tell your mother first." ”
Amanda grabbed her cup again and took a sip of happy water: "Mom, if you don't have an answer, I'll call you." ”
Ronan said, "No problem. ”
After eating together, Ronan called David and asked him to drive Amanda back.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Seyfried seemed to really trust him.
Ronan could see that Amanda Seyfried also believed in him and should have regarded him as a friend.
In the future, you can also help appropriately with those things that are done with your hands.
Of course, if you run to Ronan to ask for an important role such as a heroine or a supporting actress, this kind of favor will definitely not help.
Ronan can tell the difference.
Seeing off Amanda Seyfried, Ronan returned to Warner Studios to find Paul Anderson and Samuel Hadida to continue work on the preparation of Resident Evil.
Paul Anderson had previously traveled to Japan for a 5-day discussion with Capcom, who also thought that Anderson was a good fit to direct Resident Evil and even recognized his changes, while Paul Anderson learned from his last game adaptation, Empire of the Devil, that the rules of the game could be added and strengthened, but not broken.
As he said in Berlin, the film will be a prequel to the game that gamers have been looking forward to seeing for a long time, so that fans and viewers who have never heard of the game will be captivated by the film.
Also, Ronan focused on the issue of zombies with Paul Anderson and Samuel Hadida.
In this film, the concept of zombies will not be explicitly expressed.
Of course, anyone who looks at those infected with the T virus will understand that these living dead are zombies.
A zombie with a different setting than George Romero.
In some ways, the film has a soft sci-fi nature.
To this day, it is impossible for the crew to repeat the appearance of zombies 20 years ago.
In those days, there was a proliferation of films imitating "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Avoidance of the Living", and blood drenched became the inherent pattern of horror films at that time.
In order to achieve the terrifying effect of making people's scalps tingle, the crew had to make changes that were more in line with the times.
Ronan hired an international animation special effects company, which won an Oscar nomination for "400 Years of Vampire," and also worked on "Black Hole Surface," "Elizabeth" and "Gladiator."
It is also a second-rate special effects company in the industry.
Realism is what the crew is after, so the special effects company had to create the terrifying appearance of being infected with the T-virus, which is inhaled, passed through the whole body system, and expelled from the eyes, mouth and nose, and the designers had to look through a lot of medical textbooks to study the effects of bio-erosion of the skin, which is not the same thing as traditional decay.
In addition, the T virus acts quickly on the body's system, so the appearance and degree of infection vary from person to person.
Ronan took great pains to deal with the zombies, and in order to make their movements smooth and natural, he even invited Warner Van Eden, the dance coach of "Swing Mania", to be the "zombie dance director" of the film.
To be exact, it's a zombie action guide.
Ronan thought about it and consulted with Paul Anderson and Samuel Hadida to decide that the extras who played the zombies needed to be coached because he didn't want the zombies in the film to be ridiculous.
Warner Van Eden himself has also confirmed that he will join the zombies when shooting.
The actors who play the zombies are also carefully selected, not ordinary extras, but some ordinary actors who have professional dance training.
Use well-trained dancers to make the movements of zombies subtle to the smallest tremors.
The crew also needed to shoot in Europe, and the location surveyors had already set out to find suitable locations, looking all over Europe, from Latvia and Ukraine to early bunkers in England and Germany, which needed a lot of renovation because they were all products of the Second World War.
When the film is in the process of creating the script, the main creative staff will have a good idea of what the film will look like, and in post-production, it must be adjusted within a limited range.
Ronan's request for this film is simple.
The fights are clean and neat, the script can generally justify itself, and Alice's styling skills should be eye-catching.
