Like George Lucas and James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis is also one of the representatives of Hollywood's technical stream directors, who has been seeking innovation and change in film technology for many years, and can be called a director of the modern end of the film revolution in Hollywood circles, and most of his films are like adult fairy tales with unique styles.

Throughout Robert Zemeckis's masterpieces, including the "Back to the Future" series and "Forrest Gump", there is always clean purity, wonderful dreams, and harmonious warmth in his works.

The director's work has always told a story full of innocence.

Steven Spielberg, who was carrying Robert Zemeckis in his hand, said of him: A child who doesn't grow up, restless storytellers.

In fact, there is no need to look for information, Ronan also has a clear understanding of Robert Zemeckis based on impressions alone.

The output is not high, but it is classic.

Robert Zemeckis is a technical controller and a good storyteller.

In Hollywood, his omnipotence is evident to all.

As an alumnus of the USC Film School, Ronan also had on-the-ground contact with Robert Zemeckis and would not have been included in the director's shortlist.

The director is also a perfect candidate for a fairy tale film.

Then again, is there a more fairy tale adult movie than Forrest Gump?

Ronan also spoke to Robert Zemeckis about it.

Robert Zemeckis has a deep attachment to something innocent.

Therefore, when dealing with the character of Forrest Gump, he did not portray him as a clown who looks like a foreigner, but instead gave this reckless and straightforward character more positive colors.

The deputy director added: "Robert Zemeckis has many technical achievements, and the ingenious combination of live-action and animation in 1988's 'Who Killed Roger Rabbit First' has become a milestone in the history of world film technology. "Polar Express", which was released last year, used CG live-action capture and CG animation technology for the first time to vividly present the real characters in a 3D animated film. ”

In fact, the corresponding choice is not difficult, and "Alice in Wonderland" still follows "Avatar" to borrow the east wind.

Ronan quickly decided: "Well, pause the contact with Tim Burton. George, you send an invitation to Robert Zemeckis, and Blind, you go and get in touch with Robert Zemeckis' agent. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Don't give up on Tim Burton's side, none of them are the first choice of the director of Alice in Wonderland." ”

Blinder hurriedly said, "Okay." ”

George Clint proposed, "Ronan, you're an alumnus of Robert Zemeckis, say hello to him in advance?"

"I will. Ronan nodded slightly: "I'll call Robert Zemeckis this afternoon." ”

When it comes to a director of Robert Zemeckis's level, the salary is basically clear, and there is basically no possibility that Ronan's invitation will take advantage of the situation to increase the price.

In fact, whether it is Tim Burton or Robert Zemeckis, they all need to be hired by Shahai Entertainment with a high salary.

Both of these are well-known veteran directors in the industry.

This small communication about Alice in Wonderland will end quickly, as Tim Burton asked Johnny Depp to play the lead actor, and Ronan finally made the choice of leaning towards finding a new director.

After the meeting, Ronan didn't leave immediately and asked George Clint about the filming of The Hangover.

This comedy film, with an investment of only $20 million, will be a very important step in the comedy film genre of Relativity Entertainment.

Embassy Pictures has also set up a plan for the release of "The Hangover", and if there are no major surprises in production, the comedy film will be released next year, in 2006.

If the first part can be successful, "The Hangover" will definitely have to be serialized.

To some extent, its serialized routine is very similar to "The Grim Reaper is Coming".

Once the routine of the "Hangover" series was very typical, on the eve of the wedding, the friends had a crazy bachelorette party, and after a night of hangover, they completely lost their memory, but all the members collapsed and fell into crisis, so they had to solve the mystery to save their lives.

In terms of actors, the three good friends who are the focus of the leading actor in college are played by Bradley Cooper, Seth Rogan, and Jonah Hill.

This is also the cast finalized by Ronan.

Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill have been in Hollywood for a few years now, and both belong to the category of rookie actors with certain qualifications.

The scale of the film is relatively large, and it will definitely be R-rated.

Someone once said that a Hollywood comedy that is not R-rated is definitely not a good movie.

In the routine of American comedy, the lines are said at most two sentences, and the topic begins to go down three ways.

Ronan still remembers watching a super large-scale Hollywood comedy movie in which the two male protagonists were chased by killers on the grassland and had nowhere to hide, and then 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, so they turned off the player directly and deleted the, pee, and fart comedy movie that I 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 films, and more disgusting.

Ronan still remembers that a colleague once listened to the people in the office talk about "The Hangover", and after work, he downloaded it and watched it with great interest, and the next day he came back and asked, "What's funny, what's the laugh? Not only did I read it seriously, but I was going to fall asleep in the process......

Comedy is actually more affected by cultural differences than horror films.

The key distribution area of the film "Hangover" is the European and American markets, and the Asian market in the East.

Ronan then went to the screenwriting department again, and he had officially submitted the idea of the teddy bear to the screenwriting department in writing, and Shahai Entertainment was currently recruiting suitable screenwriters to write the script.

The producer or production company proposes ideas and themes, and recruits screenwriters to write scripts, which is the most typical Hollywood commercial script writing model.

In order to facilitate the creation of the script, Ronan plans to let Shahai Entertainment recruit screenwriters and let the screenwriters go to the company that produces teddy bears to experience it.

This is a typical propositional essay, and in doing so, it is beneficial to deepen the emotional connection between the screenwriter and the character.

As for the character of the teddy bear, there is no target to learn from for the time being, but Ronan gave a standard, this perverted bear must be cheap and break through the sky.

This movie can be said to be one of Ronan's most impressive Hollywood comedy movies.

also wanted a comedy, he was equally impressed, not so much because of how good the film was, but because of a Hollywood film, the theme plot was to assassinate the leader of a certain country......

In some respects, the idea of American-style hegemonism is vividly embodied by Hollywood.

These Hollywood filmmakers say that you are wrong, that is, you are wrong, and you are right and wrong.

The only thing that can make them change their position is a wonderful existence called "profit".

For the sake of profit, they dare to hack the Washington authorities.

Ronan has watched countless Hollywood movies, and he seems to have the impression that only the tax office has not been really hacked by Hollywood movies.

It is estimated that those who have hacked the tax bureau have been checked for taxes.

Having said that, how many large and small companies and countless taxpayers in the United States have no tax problems at all?

"Teddy Bear" is just the beginning of the earliest planning, and it would be nice to be able to complete the script this year.

It's a pity that Ronan can't remember the name of the director who once sang "Mimi Song" at the Oscars.

As the Oscars become more and more politically correct, the choice of films becomes more and more biased and niche, and the most direct consequence is that the ratings of the awards ceremony are declining every year.

So, the director can sing this kind of song on the stage of the awards ceremony.

Without the consent or acquiescence of the director and production team, this kind of song would definitely not appear.

This also illustrates the problem that in a few years, the Oscars will also need to attract the audience's attention in a way that is in a good way.

If you really can't find a suitable candidate by then, Todd Phillips, the current director of "The Hangover", can too.

The young director in his thirties has a wealth of experience in comedy films.

In the middle of April, Embassy Pictures' "Hellboy" released last month exceeded $80 million at the North American box office, and nearly $60 million overseas.

Relying solely on the box office, this alternative superhero movie can recoup its investment.

This month, Relativity Entertainment also has movies released, from preparation to shooting to completion of production, and then to the final publicity and distribution, I learned that Yijiang Pictures' "Human Skin Inn" has completed the road that it often takes two years to complete a large-budget commercial film with a super fast pace of less than half a year.

The total investment in the film is only $4 million, which is a small investment.

Correspondingly, the pressure to return to the cost is much less.

Director Eli Rose is a typical admirer of Quentin Tarantino, and he borrowed the filming and production style of "Kill Bill", and the already large-scale "Human Skin Inn" is even more bloody.

For filming, Eli Rose's crew used more than 1,000 liters of artificial plasma.

The effect is also obvious.

This kind of horror film about the perverted torture and murder of a brain-dead young man in the United States 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 probability of recovering the investment is relatively high.

Eli Rose's films are also good, and he has directed a similar film "No Bones Remain" before, which captures the essence of this genre.

In the first week of its release, although "Human Skin Inn" did not win the North American box office, the box office result of $19.55 million made the film profitable in just three days.
