Hollywood legendary director

After going through the entry formalities, Benjamin Joseph successfully joined Firefly Pictures.

As soon as the latter arrived, they began to recruit personnel in various departments of the company.

Then, it is to establish appropriate internal rules and regulations for the increase and decrease of rewards and punishments.

These are all very necessary, but Lehman had no management experience in this area, and it was procrastinated.

Now that there are professional talents, it is different, and internal operations can be regulated by the naked eye.It's a good thing.

As for him, he only needs to be in charge of the production department, which he is a little familiar with.

In the afternoon, Eric Newman wrote the script and brought Zach Schneider to the company again.

I want to talk to Lehman about casting.

Most of the filming team of the film crew is from the studio of Zach Schneider, and the production department of the company has some staff. After the money is paid, the scenes, props and other preparatory work have now begun.

Zach Schneider is not a pure newcomer. He has been in the advertising circle for so many years, and he knows all aspects of filming very well.

He also knew that Lyman gave him so much autonomy, but it didn't mean he really wanted to do that.

He is very grateful for such support for a director who has not achieved much.

This value is also the pressure on him...

"Go ahead, do you have any actors you like? I'll give you a reference."

After knowing his intention, Lyman said with a smile.

In fact, the brokerage company has given a list of screenings, some supporting roles are okay, but Zach Schneider really doesn't know which to choose as the leading role.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly suggested: "How about Eva, the part of the pregnant woman in the movie?"

Lyman glanced at Zhadao, thinking that this man was quite interesting.

But it seems that Eva is also quite suitable for that role, well, it is the wife of the fat wrestler played by Zheng Yumei in the original film.

She herself played a similar role in "Bad Guy" and has acting experience.

The schedule is not a problem.

The filming of "The Day After Tomorrow" is nearing completion, just in time for "New York Tour".

"Okay, I'll tell her. But, who are you going to let the protagonist play?"

The image of a calm middle-aged man...

Zach Schneider carefully thought about the list of actors he had seen, and felt that there were a few castings that would be very good, so he said: "Christian Bell? Jack Gyllenhaal? Matthew McConaughey? These few candidates. How about one acting? Both the value and the image are quite consistent."

"Jack Gyllenhaal can't do it. In addition to "The Day After Day", he also took a play. If Matthew, are you sure he can play a calm middle-aged man?"

This servant is not the Matthew who has gradually settled down in later generations. He now estimates that he just seems to have a more suitable image, and it is really difficult to play.This is not the challenge that Zach Schneider should be exposed to in his first work.

Then only Christian Bale remains the option.

"Has Bell recently taken the show?"

"He should have a schedule. He is a contracted artist of CAA. His agent told me about the drama last time..."

After hearing Schneider's explanation, Lehman figured out his situation.

Bell is a child star.

It was not that Jack Gyllenhaal did so because his family was in the entertainment industry and had access, but he was completely compelled.

When I was young, my family was poor, my father was idle, my mother worked in a circus, and three sisters.

The economic pressure is huge, and he is often unable to make ends meet. Bell followed his parents to live a life of home from all over the world. He spent his wandering childhood in Britain, Portugal, and the United States. From the age of eight, he was taken to pick up advertisements and work to support his family.

Later, slowly, more contact surfaces.

Because of his young age and advantages, many TV shows need actors like him.

This road is also widened, but that's it.

Until some time ago, I was still polished in the independent film circle because there were no more opportunities.

And most of the independent films that appeared in the box office were not good, and the market response was very little. Christian Bell continued to follow commercial commercials or guest appearances in TV series.It can be said that the value is very low.

Also, before meeting Christopher Nolan, he rarely had the opportunity to step into the mainstream film circle, let alone be the leading role.

But let's not say that although the person is a little down, but the image is really suitable, the key is still when there is no success.

Well, when Lyman and Zach Schneider thought about it, they sent someone an invitation to his agent.

We are not saving that little money, right, mainly because of the actor temperament...

Well, it does need to save some shooting expenses.

The special effects shots, costumes and props of this project are really big money lovers.

To show the zombie effect depicted in the script, several live-action special effects studios, such as Digital Field, Industrial Light & Magic, Weta, etc., have not low prices, and they all need to join the team for collaborative shooting from the beginning.

And there is no money left in this aspect. After all, in a strict sense, these zombies have more shots than the protagonist, and the plot is driven by them. The next point will definitely affect the perception.

As a result, before the film was shot, the money was thrown in more than 40 million, and a small part of the balance was left.

There are also the salary of the shooting team, the construction of the scene, and the rental of the venue. So, 70 million is really not much.

The key point is that Lyman doesn't dare to be too involved. Although he believes in the solid foundation of coaching, he must have a degree in filming.

The idea of ​​"New York Trip" was good, and "Dawn of the Living Dead" was also bought by Lehman.

Even Eric Newman, as a reasonable screenwriter in the industry, has a rigorous plot logic, which captures the main points that Lehman said that day and explores the human nature of the end.

However, making movies involves risks.

Seventy million is already a very reasonable arrangement. Lehman didn't intend to change it. If he really suffered a loss, this loss would not make him return to the pre-liberation period.

Wouldn't it be good to leave some retreat

Although I don't have much popularity to play, the problem is that I haven't seen zombie movies that need first-line stars too much.

Milla Jovovich didn't see much popularity before starring in "Resident Evil", but her singer status is far more famous than her actor status.

Speaking of charisma, it is obvious that the acting skills need to make Zadao and Lehman more concerned.

Whether the climax of the ending can touch the tear ducts of the audience depends on how the actor empathizes and immerses the audience.

This is not a very simple task.

As for Matthew McConaughey, he can only be shyly screened out.

He is far behind now.

People also need to grow.
