Picking up Keira Knightley from Disney Studios, Matthew returned to his home and took a special look before entering the house, the paparazzi who had been staying all night here last month had disappeared without a trace, not just in the residential area, and he had recently taken a closer look, and unless they happened by chance, there were very few paparazzi chasing him and Keira Knightley anymore.

Gossip and scandals are time-sensitive, and the uproar of his cohabitation with Keira Knightley has basically consumed the enthusiasm of onlookers, plus this is Los Angeles, and celebrities who get together and break up every day pop up from time to time, and the two of them have gradually been forgotten.

Entering the house, Keira Knightley leaned back on the sofa, continued the conversation in the car, and said to Matthew angrily, "I really don't understand what you think, if you don't accept a leading actor like "King Arthur", you have to act in a non-mainstream zombie movie." ”

"Honey," Matthew said, sitting down next to Keira Knightley, putting his arm around her shoulders, "who you off?"

Keira Knightley leaned on Matthew, snorted comfortably, and said, "If you train all morning, you'll be like me!" Then, she realized that something was wrong, "Forget it, people like you can train for a long day." ”

She pulled the topic back again, "I can't figure out why you want to take on such a film." ”

"It's easy to get back to your roots. Matthew said part of the real reason, "The original film has a certain audience base, and the remake has the most basic audience, otherwise why does Hollywood always like to remake old movies?"

He explained, "The production cost of the film is only $28 million, so the return on cost is relatively simple, and I have a bit of appeal myself." ”

Keira Knightley lay on her stomach in Matthew's arms and exclaimed, "What do you mean by a little appeal? You're a powerful force now!" she snorted dissatisfiedly and muttered, "What are the three main characters, obviously two male protagonists and one supporting actress! The sequel must add drama to me! Otherwise, I won't sign a contract!"

Matthew didn't answer her and instead asked, "When are you guys going to start shooting?"

"It's more than two weeks away. Keira Knightley thought for a moment and said, "The crew is going to England on the 20th. ”

"We're going to break up before you go to England. Matthew looked at Keira Knightley, "There's not much time left." ”

"Well, we're getting closer to a breakup. Keira Knightley was nodding her head as well.

Matthew then discussed the timing and details of the breakup.

The two snuggled up intimately, but they talked about how to break up, and they didn't care about each other, as if they had been integrated into the Hollywood environment.

"Time is running out!" said Matthew, picking up Keira Knightley and heading towards his room, "We can't afford to waste it." ”

Keira Knightley seemed to agree, saying, "I'm off for the past two days, and you don't go out." ”

Matthew smiled and said, "Even if we break up, I'm always here to welcome you back." ”

"Okay!"

Throughout early August, Matthew was basically busy preparing for "Dawn of the Living Dead" except for hiding at home with Keira Knightley for two days, because the actor in the script is set to be a fighting master, he only needs to maintain the training of the fitness club, and does not need to train alone before filming.

As for the use of firearms in the filming of the film, Sean Daniel had a communication with Matthew and learned that he had received professional firearms training on the crew of "Black Hawk Down", and did not let him enter the crew for early training.

In fact, since he played Captain Ronald Spears in "Band of Brothers", Matthew has been a very reassuring actor with a reputation among producers and directors.

Filming will start at the end of this month, and the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" still has a lot of work to do, for example, because of Matthew's salary negotiations, most of the other actors have not yet been finalized, and after Sean Daniel gave Matthew a lot of information, he asked him to talk to director Zack Schneider in detail a few times, out of understanding him, he no longer cares about him as the leading actor, and the main focus is on selecting other actors.

Matthew also knows that Helen Herman has taken advantage of his advantages as a leading actor to get a lot of opportunities in the crew, and the young actors of the angel agency will appear in large numbers in the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" and play some less important supporting roles.

For example, he heard from the front desk of the angel agency that Alexandra Daddario had passed the audition and would play a girl whose father turned into a zombie.

According to his cranky thinking, this can actually be a highlight of the film, think about it, the bloodthirsty zombies are chasing after it, and Alexandra Daddario is desperately trying to escape, maybe it will shock many viewers......

I just don't know if Zack Schneider will design it this way.

He had a great time communicating with Zack Schneider, maybe he could find a suitable opportunity to make such a small suggestion?

Matthew still remembers watching an earthquake movie played by Dwayne Johnson, whose daughter seems to be played by Alexandra D'Addario, and whenever there is an earthquake shot of Alexandra D'Addario's presence, it is really shocking.

In addition, the most important supporting actress among all the supporting roles in the film has not been finalized by the crew.

As far as Matthew knows, Helen Herman also had ideas for the role, but unfortunately there was no suitable actress to impress Sean Daniel.

Matthew couldn't say anything about the actors, and after a simple attention, he still returned to a very regular work and life state, studying scripts at angel agencies in the morning, finding people to play and watching relevant materials, going to the fitness club to train in the afternoon, and seizing the last time to enjoy with Keira Knightley in the evening.

Among the materials provided by the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead", there is a lot of information about zombies, and even Sean Daniel got a sample book of the "Zombie Survival Manual" that has not yet been released in advance, Matthew has read these materials, not only has a better understanding of zombies, but also finds that zombies have formed a unique zombie culture throughout North America and even beyond.

Originally, the term "zombie" originated from voodoo, a mystical religion popular in the Ghana region of West Africa, which later spread to Haiti in the West Indies in the 16th century through the slave trade of white colonists.

It is said that in this religion, shamans have a mystical ritual of resurrecting the dead and becoming zombies for them to drive.

This was the original origin of the concept of zombies.

If you want to talk about the earliest Hollywood zombie movies, you can trace back to the thirties of the last century.

The zombie movie mentioned in the information is "White Zombies" in 1932 starring the famous vampire actor Bella Lugosi.

In order to grasp Hollywood's zombie movie culture more clearly, Matthew specially found this film to watch, but what he didn't expect was that this film is completely different from modern zombie films, it tells the story of a voodoo wizard who turns people into zombies with witchcraft, and lets them work day and night in the sugar factory to make money.

This is where the zombies in Voodoo differ from the zombie images in modern pop culture, where the zombies in Voodoo belief are just the product of witchcraft, and although they will kill people under the instructions of wizards, they are not essentially cannibalistic, nor do they make their victims zombies by biting.

So how did the zombie develop into its current image? There is also a related narrative in the source, and someone later added a little bit of inspiration from the rabies virus to the zombie.

Thus, the modern zombie was born: a virus, a contagion, aggression, irrationality, and death.

The image of zombies in modern pop culture in the true sense of the word was born, and it was widely disseminated in the 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead" directed by George A. Romero.

George A. Romero has also become a veritable father of modern zombie films, and his "Living Dead Series Trilogy" not only has the disadvantages of the times, but also has distinctive characteristics of the times, as well as bloody violence and eye-opening zombie scenes, which have influenced countless subsequent zombie movies, and also laid several general developments for the later zombie culture, which can be called the "three laws of robots" in the zombie world, and are still used today.

Therefore, the routines of zombie movies are generally relatively similar, first of all, the unknown factors make the dead "come back to life" and become zombies, the zombies themselves do not have any consciousness and thinking ability, rely on instinctive activities, and their only nature is to eat human flesh.

Secondly, zombies will be infected, and people who are bitten by zombies will quickly become zombies after death.

In the end, the zombie is in a state of immortality, so no matter how he hurts his body, the zombie will continue to move, and the only way to make it incapacitated is a headshot, which makes many zombie movies look blood-pumping, and the thrill brought by a headshot is simply incomparable, and most zombie movies are a feast of headshots.

In addition to the self-contained attributes of thrillers, zombie movies often have attributes such as doomsday and disaster, so the focus of zombie movies is often not zombies, but human beings in extreme environments, how they choose, whether to rely on each other to help each other, or to kill the same kind for their own survival......

Matthew read these materials, and his biggest feeling is that if there is really a possibility of a zombie outbreak, the most unfortunate thing is not to become zombies, but to survive the humans, and the survivors are the real walking dead.

After a week of regular life, it was time for Matthew and Keira Knightley, a temporary couple, to break up.
