The time is approaching Thanksgiving, the first audition of the crew of "Fast and Furious 3" is over, Gianna Quan passed successfully, and was notified by the crew that she does not need to participate in the second audition, and can directly come to the crew in mid-December to participate in the last audition with makeup.

Gianna-Quan took advantage of the fact that the new season of "Grey's Anatomy" would not be filmed for the time being, so she went back to South Korea and actively contacted female artists with excellent looks through her previous agency.

However, she solemnly told the former agency that she must not have those overhauled ones, and that they should be as natural as possible, even if they have used knives, they are the type of minor repairs like her.

After Jessica Filton returned to Los Angeles from Europe, Ronan asked the crew to re-sign a safety protocol with the main cast members to restrict them from engaging in dangerous activities such as drag racing while on set.

Even if every actor has accident insurance, if there is an accident, the crew will still have considerable trouble, and it is not impossible to be investigated by the actors' union.

Ronan is also a precautionary measure.

Through his contact with Heath Ledger, Ronan learned one thing, some things are not something that can be done if you want to, and in the ecological environment of this country and Hollywood, even with his status, interfering with other people's freedom of life is still a thankless task.

You pay me for my work, what do I do in my spare time?

This is very common among Hollywood stars.

There are some things that are enough to do once, and Ronan will not be stupid enough to do it a second time.

Therefore, as long as it is enough to ensure that the actors do not have accidents while working for Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan is just a producer and studio owner, not a nanny.

Besides, Hollywood stars have a million ways to die, do they have to stare at it 24 hours a day?

This safety protocol can basically ensure that there are major safety problems during the actor's absence from work.

In his spare time, the crew can't control it.

This week, the cast of George Romero's "Land of the Living Dead" was also finalized, and the crew will travel to Canada after Thanksgiving to begin a series of filming preparations.

George Romero has reopened his zombie path.

Due to the success of "Dawn of the Living Dead", Hollywood's traditional zombie films have a tendency to rise again, Twentieth Century Fox bought a zombie-themed script called "28 Weeks of Shock"; Robert Rodriguez, who has just completed the production of "Sin City", is also preparing to shoot his own zombie and **** movie; Warner Bros. has purchased the remake rights of "Zombies Out".

Robert Lee came to Ronan's office because of the zombie theme.

"Looking at the current trend, zombie movies will become a trend in the future. Robert Lee said: "Although we got the rights to "The Walking Dead", and George Romero is also making new zombie movies, isn't it to increase the copyright reserve in this area?"

Robert Lee has been buying rights everywhere in the past few years, and with the accumulation of experience, his vision has gradually become sharper.

The zombie theme, which has been in decline, will indeed become an important force in the film and television market in the future, Ronan is very aware of this, and asked: "Have you found something?

Robert Lee pulled out a few pages of copy paper and handed them to Ronan, who took it and looked at it, and there was slightly messy handwriting on it, apparently a copy of the manuscript.

"It's ......," Ronan took a quick look.

Robert Lee explained: "Don't worry, it's with the author's permission, as long as it's not passed on. ”

Ronan nodded slowly, and continued to flip through the pages of copy paper.

"When we were promoting the movie, we used the Zombie Survival Handbook. Robert Lee briefly introduced: "The author of 'The Zombie Survival Handbook' is Max Brooks, the son of Mel Brooks, the director of "Robin Hood is Crazy" and "Vampire is Crazy", and I just handed you the manuscript that Max Brooks has just begun to create. ”

He thought for a moment and then said, "The other day, I met Max Brooks at a party, because I had been in charge of the company's copyright business, and he reached out to me and talked to me about his new work. I took a look at it and thought it was kind of interesting. ”

Ronan quickly skimmed through it, put away the manuscript and returned it to Robert Lee, saying, "It's really interesting. ”

These pages are written in the framework setting, the zombie theme - mankind is experiencing the biggest extinction crisis, the zombie epidemic is spreading around the world, and the United Nations investigator as the protagonist goes to the source of the virus to find a way to solve the crisis.

Looking back, Ronan felt that the setting was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Thinking of Max Brooks as the son of a Hollywood director, it is estimated that he should have been adapted into a movie.

Ronan asked, "Just starting to create?"

Robert Lee replied: "I got the setting and framework in mind, and the official content was only written at the beginning, and Max Brooks said it was going to continue to be modified, so I didn't ask for it." ”

Ronan nodded slowly, and then asked, "Is Max Brooks sure about the name of the work?"

"Sure. Robert Lee replied, "I've heard him mention it, and it's called World. War . Z》。 ”

The reaction in Ronan's mind is the Chinese translation - "World War Zombies"?

No, it should be called "World War Zombies", or "World War Z"!

The movie that Brad Pitt once starred in, the one where zombies run faster than rabbits, seems to have been clamoring for a sequel, waiting for Brad Pitt's schedule.

Ronan remembered some related memories, it is said that in order to shoot the sequel, Brad Pitt specially hired David Fincher as the director.

In this way, at least the previous films did not fail.

Hollywood studios are all about making profits, and if a film can't bring profits, it will never start a sequel.

Thinking of this, Ronan said to Robert Lee: "You go to talk to Max Brooks, and it's best to win the film and television adaptation rights before going public." ”

Robert Lee replied, "Okay. ”

He didn't stay long, and quickly took his leave and left Ronan's office.

Robert Lee had just left, and Ronan received a call from David Fincher, who and Lindsay Beale were both optimistic about an actress, Rachel McAdams, an actress from Canada, and the audition was good.

Ronan thought about it for a while, felt that this candidate was also a good candidate, and gave a positive reply.

Rachel McAdams was nowhere to be left in Hollywood, came to Hollywood a few years before becoming famous, and finally returned to Canada as a loser, and came back a few years later, and it was successful.

In most cases, it is not easy for this kind of helpless actress to mix up in Hollywood.

Carefully studying the information of Hollywood's newly famous stars in recent years, it is not difficult to find that many people are either graduates of professional film and television schools, or have an inextricable relationship with this circle.

To be precise, the proportion of the second generation of stars and the second generation around the Hollywood industry among the new actors in Hollywood is increasing year by year.

They naturally have various advantages, and they can be supported by all aspects of the network, and this road is much smoother than that of ordinary people.

Of course, there are also opportunities for the helpless, and the best ladder to climb is clearly there.

If you catch it, you will become famous in one fell swoop, and your investment will pay off.

Some things about Rachel McAdams are not a secret in Hollywood circles, and there are even rumors in the entertainment media.

Rachel McAdams has a good public image for fans and the media, fresh and full of sunshine, like a school goddess, but she secretly has a coquettish side, which is very in line with the heroine's personality.

She is like a goddess in front of people, but she is ...... behind her

The sweet and sexy Rachel McAdams' acting skills are also relatively okay, maybe not as good as Natalie Portman, but much better than Jessica Alba.

Originally, Marvel Entertainment and Kevin Feige wanted to invite Rachel McAdams to play the role of Pepper in "Iron Man", but Rachel McAdams refused because of the comic book superhero movie.

Unexpectedly, she participated in the audition for "GIRL" when she turned around.

Maybe this kind of role can help her win the prize.

Many actors will face this choice, is it the award first, or the business first?

The former Rachel McAdams made a stupid move on Marvel, refusing to have more weight in the early years, and then the development did not go well, seeing that the Marvel series of movies was amazingly hot, and it took a lot of effort to get the role and the less Christine Palmer.

According to the news from Lindsay Beal, Rachel McAdams worked hard to get the heroine of "GIRL" and was willing to take only $500,000.

This is a very smart actress, and with the fact that she has worked with Ronan many times, it is obvious that the film is going for the awards season.

In order to win awards, many actors often take the initiative to reduce their value when choosing low-budget films.

Rachel McAdams was willing to take the initiative to reduce the salary, and the crew certainly had no reason to refuse, and formal negotiations between the two sides soon began.

David Fincher's filming pace is very slow, from early planning to preliminary preparation, it took more than half a year, but it will take several months to enter the filming stage.

This is also his usual style, David Fincher is a typical example of slow work and meticulous work, he is not a prolific director, and it is often about four years before a film comes out.

Think of Spielberg, at the peak of his creation, he made two films a year.

Thanksgiving is coming, the North American film market is starting to become very crowded, and the large-scale publicity of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" will also open in North America, looking forward to bringing holiday happiness to the audience in a family-friendly situation.

In addition, films such as Warner Bros.'s epic "Alexander the Great", Universal Pictures' "BJ's Single Diary 2" and Miramax's "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" purchased at the Toronto Film Festival are also sharpening their knives and preparing for the big cake of the risky Thanksgiving schedule.
