Hollywood legendary director

Due to the need to control the length of the advertisement, and there is no heavy set work, and the number of shots is not large, Lehmann took only three days to shoot the material and cut out a 4 and a half minute short film.

After adding the soundtrack appropriately, Dior has basically completed the task assigned to him, and all that is left is to let Eva re-record the promo narration in the ad.

Compared with the production of movies, these things are really easy to deal with, so Lehman's mood is very relaxed.

Sitting in the lounge on the set, sipping coffee, waiting for Thomas to finish his work, and then put the subtitles on, the order will be settled.

Not long after, Lehmann didn't wait for Thomas, but saw Zach Schneider push the door and walk in, sitting opposite him somewhat stiffly.

"What's the matter?" Lyman asked curiously.

In the recent filming of the past few days, Zach Schneider has been acting as the deputy director of the set, and the relationship between the two is fairly close because of the cooperation.

"Lyman, does your film company still need manpower?"

It seemed that he had plucked up his courage, Zach Schneider said firmly.

"What? What do you mean?"

Lyman had a hint of prediction in his heart.

May I ask which director does not want to direct his own movie?

What's more, Zach Schneider is from a professional background.

In addition, this product will enter the advertising circle, and it will also pull up an advertising shooting team. It is not because when there is no chance, they will hone themselves and find a suitable opportunity to enter the film circle.

These days of working with Lehman have given him some hope.

He is actually very smart and knows that if no one is supporting him, it is not easy to take this step.

The most typical one is Michael Bay, who is also an advertising director. The uncle of this guy is the executive director of Warner. It took many years to shoot the commercial before he won the opportunity to direct a film project.

He is 38 years old, and he has been doing commercials for more than ten years. His income is not low, but he doesn't want to keep doing this.

Seeing a possible opportunity emerge, it is impossible not to try it.

He lowered his attitude and said, "If your company is short of staff, can I join. Oh, and my studio, they are also very good."

The shooting team brought out by this guy has been in contact with Lehman frequently these days, and the shooting experience in all aspects is also very good. Of course Lehman is very happy to hear this.

After all, all departments of Firefly Pictures are short of staff.

"You are welcome to join." Lehman grasped Zach Schneider's hand for fear that he would regret it.

However, this servant also has his own little abacus. Seeing that Lyman is very good at talking, he took out a script from the file bag.

It is impossible to say that Michael Bay's success has no effect on Zach Schneider.

Seeing the success of people in the same circle naturally inspired Zach Schneider's ambitions.At the same time, it also gave him the idea of ​​making his first feature film.

Prior to this, although his job had always been to shoot commercials, he was not experimenting with shooting short films.

It feels good and has a certain degree of confidence.

Later, by chance, there was a copywriter who had collaborated and adapted a work, and he planned to use this script to test the waters.

For Zach Schneider, Lehmann is not too strange.

Moreover, this product is different from ordinary new directors-like Wen Ziren who is planning to make a movie for the first time, he comes with a script, and this product even comes with a complete shooting report and approximate shooting budget expenditure.

Thinking about it is not a temporary impulse, a decision made on a hot mind, and sufficient preparation.

This also makes Lehman quite pleased, regardless of whether the project is good or bad, this attitude is very worthy of recognition.

For a mature film work, it is too rough to have an idea without a complete and detailed shooting outline.

From this look, Zach Schneider obviously has a lot of production experience.

Also, for so many years, advertising can't be made for nothing.

The name of the movie on the script is "Dawn of the Living Dead" and the story is very simple.

What is talking about is that a society that was originally safe has become a hell on earth due to an unexplained plague.

People infected by the virus have become a kind of walking corpse, which will inexplicably attack humans and feed on human flesh and blood. What is even more frightening is that if survivors are in close contact with these walking corpses, they will also be infected and become similar. .

The setting is actually pretty good, but the next plot direction feels very bloody.

At least Lyman thinks so.

What a brilliant white person A, is the leader of the survivor group, is flexible and calm, cares about others, treats people sincerely, and is brave and does not shrink back in case of trouble;

There is also female number one B. Seeing that the survival resources of the refuge are getting less and less, she discussed with A and took everyone to run together, through the city with dense walking corpses, and flee to the island without walking corpses;

As for the supporting actors who are intriguing for survival, the process of reuniting together and working together under the influence of all kinds of great lights also appears to be fake.

Lehman only felt that after reading it, there was an inexplicable touch of sadness.

If it weren't for Zach Schneider's rescue, Lehman really wanted to give him a big eye.Just the script written here, how about proper toilet paper?The background setting is so good.As a result, Hollywood’s mainstream values ​​have always been revealed.

The entire script contains: tearing, bloody large-scale, personality charm protagonist group, and countless daily supporting roles and brain damage behavior of dog blood to set off the protagonist group, setting aside the setting, it is simply an action movie with commercial elements in zombie skin. , Is to show how hungry the protagonist group is in the face of danger.

The most important thing is how this setting is so familiar.

"Are you a remake of a movie?"

"Yeah." Zhadao smiled shyly.

It seems that this guy is not sure, and I want to take the first step by making a remake of a classic old film.

I have to say that the idea is very cute and smart.

With previous experience and personal understanding, the difficulty of shooting must be greatly reduced.It's perfect for testing water.

But the problem is that this has an obvious disadvantage.Not pleased.

why?

Precisely because of the previous work, no matter how you shoot, you will inevitably be compared.

That's it, even if the shot is new, and the jug is filled with new wine, the evaluation is definitely not much higher, and it will naturally fall behind.

In addition, this is still better. If you don't shoot well, you may be put on a hat of ruining classics.

Just like a novel adapted from a movie, the most difficult thing to satisfy is the original book fan, and the same is true. Under the premise that Dawn of the Living Dead is destined to be compared again, it always feels a thankless taste.
