If you want to create a sense of the end of the world, of course, Zack Schneider's style is the best, with the same thick ink and color as an oil painting, which can better express the desolation and tragedy of the end times.

Zack Schneider definitely can't think about it, he's about to start filming "Ghost Rider".

You can choose a director with a similar style to Zack Snyder.

A name had already come to Don's mind.

A week later, negotiations between Vivendi and Towne Pictures continued.

All the pre-sale assets, Vivendi asked for $16.8 billion!

The negotiation team at Down Pictures is working hard to squeeze the offer to less than $16 billion.

At this time, Frank Darabont returned.

He studied the outline of the script for The Walking Dead provided by Donn for a week, and agreed to take over the project with almost no suspense.

Donn said he would invest $100 million in the first season of "The Walking Dead"!

The sincerity is too much!

Relatively speaking, the first and last seasons of American dramas are the quarters with the highest cost budgets.

The last season is easy to understand, the actors' salaries are high.

The high cost of the first season is because at the beginning of the project, it takes a lot of money to customize props, build the set, and build the crew.

Rao is like this, Don En has set a budget equivalent to a Hollywood blockbuster for an American drama, which is absolutely shocking.

Now, the outside world has not heard the news.

As soon as the cost of $100 million is announced, there will definitely be an uproar in public opinion!

Frank Darabont has never directed a film or television with a budget of $100 million.

He will definitely cherish this opportunity.

Let's make a big turnaround.

After making an appointment with Don, he came to Don's office for the second time, only to find that in his office, a young man in his thirties was sitting in his office, with a slightly restrained posture.

"Mr. Walker, are you busy?" said Frank Darabont as he entered, and asked softly, thinking that Donn was greeting.

Don laughed and said, "Frank, come on, I'm waiting for you! Introduce you to a young and promising friend, Francis Lawrence!"

Francis Lawrence quickly stood up, "Hello, Mr. Darrabont, The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies!"

Frank Darabont was suspicious, but shook his hand, "Nice to meet you." ”

Looking at Don's eyes, it was quite strange.

Don waved his hand, sat the two of them, and said with a smile: "The Walking Dead, don't mention the project, you all know the situation, this is a zombie movie." But when it comes to zombie movies, we have to mention a zombie movie "Resident Evil" released this year. Frank, what did you think of the shot?"

"The visuals are stunning, but it's a pity that there is a lack of deeper humanistic exploration and falls into clichés. Frank Darabont put it bluntly, "The advantages are outstanding, and the disadvantages are also obvious." ”

"The summary is incisive!" Donn immediately gave a thumbs up, "I will invest $100 million to build "The Walking Dead", and the budget cost of "Resident Evil" is only more than $30 million, you can see what I expect from this TV series, right?"

Frank Darabont nodded heavily, "Looking at Hollywood in general, I don't think there is any other person other than Mr. Walker who can have the courage of you." ”

Francis Lawrence agreed: "Yes, 'Band of Brothers' amazed the world, 'The Walking Dead...... It doesn't have to have the same effect. ”

Don also gave him a thumbs up, "That's right, that's what it means!"

Then he turned to say: "Frank, you also said that the advantage of "Resident Evil" is that it has stunning visuals. Indeed, Zack Schneider's films are no less visually present than Tim Burton, and he has always been able to bring the audience into a realm full of alternative and dazzling colors. This is a merit that "The Walking Dead" has to inherit. As for the lack of profound humanistic exploration you mentioned, it is your main job as a director and screenwriter, we all know that this is your forte. ”

Frank Darabont heard a little deep meaning from Donn's words, this is a division of labor.

He was in charge of the camera and script, to lead the story of The Walking Dead, and the final visual effect was taken care of by someone else.

Zack Schneider is certainly not available.

Who is it?

Could it be this young man in his early thirties in front of him?

He's a director?

Frank Darabont's heart was full of doubts.

To be honest, he didn't think the young man in front of him was qualified.

Don said with a smile: "Back then, I discovered Zach from the field of MV, and he did not live up to my expectations and became a rising star director in Hollywood." In fact, the directors of the MV have such commonalities, and they are good at creating fascinating visual effects. ”

Frank Darabont's eyes narrowed slightly, "So, Mr. Lawrence is an MV director?"

Don frowned slightly, feeling that his tone was slightly frivolous and slightly disdainful.

It seems that I am very optimistic about this MV director.

Don immediately changed his tone and said solemnly: "I have a lot of expectations for Francis, just like Zack Schneider back then! I will let him be the assistant director of "The Walking Dead", responsible for the visual presentation part, and accumulate experience first. In a few years, I will find an opportunity to arrange a commercial blockbuster for him!"

Donn has already taken in two director brothers, one Christopher Nolan and one Zack Schneider.

In addition, J.J. Abrams is also going to be involved.

Francis Lawrence, who directed "Hell's Detective", "I Am Legend", "The Hunger Games", he certainly won't miss it!

Prior to this, Sam Mendes, Danny Boyle, Stephen Dudley, Patty Jenkins and others have also had happy collaborations with him.

Don wants to work harder, and it's best to catch all the Hollywood potential directors!

Hearing Donn's words, Francis Lawrence looked grateful, and his heart was even more excited.

Done's words are equivalent to opening another window to his career!

Just like Zack Schneider, after filming "Saw Horror" and "Resident Evil", then there was an opportunity to direct a big production like "Ghost Rider".

It looks like he's going to be on this road too!

From a small director in the commercial and MV circles, he has been promoted to a big director of commercial films in Hollywood!

How could he not be agitated?

How not to be grateful?

Frank Darabont also heard a bit of solemnity from Donn's tone, and immediately changed his tone, and his eyes when he looked at Francis Lawrence also changed, and he said with a smile: "Being able to work with Director Lawrence, I want to come to "The Walking Dead", and I have succeeded most of it. ”

……
