Chapter 876: Plasma feast

Compared to Frank De Labont, Drew Gundam's resume is much worse, but he has two obvious advantages.

First and foremost, his philosophy is almost the same as Ronan. In the relevant plans submitted to Shahai Entertainment, the focus is on the horror of this apocalyptic world and survival in the face of the threat of zombies, rather than revealing life. Noble themes such as truth or human darkness.

Secondly, Drew Gundam does not seem to be famous, and his resume is very general. In fact, he has been in the industry for a long time and has worked for the Relativity Entertainment for many years.

Drew Gundam has been working for Relativity Entertainment since Jeff Abrams filmed "Hurricane Rescue", including "Hurricane Rescue 2" which will be released on holiday this year. He is all Jeff Abrams. Ramsay's deputy.

In the "Lost" drama that has finished filming, Drew Gundam directed two episodes as the director. Ronan has seen the first cut version, which can be said to be quite good.

This is not the first time that Drew Gundam has directed a series independently. As early as the late nineties, he collaborated with Jos Weiden and served as the director of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and later participated in " Two dramas, "Angel" and "Spy Girl".

Therefore, he will get the joint recommendation of Jos Weden and Jeff Abrams.

It's hard to say Jos Weiden, after all, he has just cooperated with Relativity Entertainment, and his "Hulk" project is still in preparation.

But Jeff Abrams is a long-term partner of Relativity Entertainment. He has a very good vision and ability. Ronan trusts him to a certain extent.

There is also the same key point. Compared with directors such as Frank Drapant, Drew Gundam can be said to be his own person in Relativity Entertainment.

With many years of experience in the industry, similar creative concepts, and the experience of directing several successful series independently, and the endorsement of a well-known director who has cooperated with Relativity Entertainment for many years, Ronan has no reason to choose a director whose artistic concept is floating in the air, and give up A more down-to-earth director.

After determining the director, the crew quickly began to recruit actors.

Ronan doesn't remember who used to be an actor, but the most indispensable thing in Hollywood is actors.

In addition to this project, another horror and thriller TV series project is also steadily advancing.

Shahai Entertainment previously sent people to collect horror materials across the United States. The part about the Warrens was specially reserved for Wen Ziren, and some of the remaining materials were adapted into TV drama scripts.

This project was also named "American Horror Story" by Ronan.

According to Ronan's request, the scale of this series will be very large, including elements such as plasma, horror and astringent, and will not be smaller than the scale of Huangbaotai such as hbo.

To be precise, the first season will be a plasma feast in retro style.

As long as the scale is large enough, such dramas will definitely have an audience.

Moreover, Shahai Entertainment has collected too many materials, and there will be many horror stories that are widely circulated.

The audience of this drama must be people over the age of 18.

But horror types also have quite a lot of authorization among young people, especially those online.

Ronan specifically explained to the production department of Shahai Entertainment to use the extensive material collected to see if it is possible to create a thriller and mysterious drama for the youth group.

There used to be Netflix's mysterious thriller series for teenagers. Although Ronan has not watched it, he heard the name "Little 11" frequently mentioned by his colleagues and entertainment news on the Internet.

This resulted in him not remembering the name of the episode, but firmly remembering "Little 11".

It seems that many people or the media are saying that the future of this "little 11" has unlimited prospects in Hollywood.

Most of the child stars in Hollywood will die when they are adults, but many have achieved great success, even better than they were in childhood.

The youth group cannot be ignored. They surf the Internet more frequently and consume less rationally. As long as the drama is attractive, the chance of buying Netflix members is very high.

Netflix streaming media attaches great importance to this market, and has also communicated with Shahai Entertainment several times, requesting to increase the development of related dramas.

Preparations for the second season of "Gossip Girl" have been completed and shooting will begin soon.

But just one "Gossip Girl" is far from meeting the future needs of Netflix's streaming media, and Shahai Entertainment naturally needs new youth themes.

The teenage horror and mysterious subject, at Ronan’s proposal, temporarily uses "Little 11" as the project code.

In addition, Ronan and Shahai Entertainment are also looking for new episode material.

Quite unexpectedly, Robert Iger recommended a project to Ronan. The exact point was to recommend a director and producer who had previously collaborated with Walt Disney.

Recently, between Maple Leaf Pictures, Disney and New York, Robert Iger finally had time to chat with Ronan about Disney affairs for a long time, and also discussed the next step.

The two had lunch together, and Robert Iger suddenly asked: "I heard that you initiated a blacklist plan?"

Luo Nan took a sip of black tea and said, "Expanding the company's material collection, the effect is not bad. In the first batch of blacklists, we have finalized two items."

It should have just been news from London that John Wilson and someone from the Legal Department reached an agreement with the British producer to buy out the copyright of the remake of Shameless for 5 million pounds.

The show has just aired in the UK for its first season and has not attracted much attention yet.

Robert Iger said: "I also have a project recommendation."

"You too?" Ronan was interested: "Bob, have you seen the script recently?"

In Relativity Entertainment, Robert Iger has never been involved in the production of specific movies or TV shows.

Robert Iger said: "A director and producer I used to know at Disney found me two days ago and promoted his TV series project to me."

"Disney?" Ronan wondered.

Robert Iger said: "You also know the situation at Disney. Recently, it has become increasingly chaotic and has begun to affect the company's daily operations. Steven Pateman has repeatedly promoted his new project to Disney without a response. , So I found me."

Ronan squeezed his chin and asked, "Steven Pateman, this name is a bit familiar."

Robert Iger said: "He can be regarded as an experienced director and producer in the industry. He has worked with Barbra Streisand in "The Coquettish Girl" and filmed the movie "How to Get a Rich Miss" in the past two years. ."

Barbra Streisand Ronan knows that this is the most successful star in the Hollywood industry.

Ronan asked: "Do you know the specifics of the project?"

"I didn't read the script or anything, but Steven Pateman said it was a teenage sitcom." Robert Iger said simply: "I have known Steven Pateman for many years. He is a very thoughtful man. , Also a very reliable director and producer, so I recommend it to you."

Ronan knows Robert Iger, and if Steven Pateman is unreliable, he will never mention it.

"Okay." Ronan said, "When he has time, let him come directly to me."

Robert Iger said: "Let me call him."

The call was made, and the opposite party responded quickly. Steven Pateman happened to be working at the film school headquarters in Beverly Hills and immediately rushed to the Theory of Relativity Building.

Worried about affecting Ronan's judgment, after introducing Steven Pateman to Ronan, Robert Iger took the initiative to leave, and took practical actions to indicate that he would not participate in the content production business.

"This is the script of the project." Steven Pateman opened the briefcase and took out the relevant materials: "This is the plan."

Ronan took the script, and it was a female name Hannah Montana.

This should be the name of the play. Hollywood has always had a tradition of directly naming the protagonist.

"The script of the project was created by Michele Boyes, but the copyright is already in my hands." Steven Petman introduced the project as much as possible: "Don't worry about copyright issues."

Looking through the script, Luo Nan asked, "It is said that you originally planned to cooperate with Disney?"

Steven Pateman said with a smile: "I have been working with Disney, but Disney's situation..." He shook his head: "At this stage, Disney is not a good partner."

For people with certain qualifications in Hollywood, especially directors and producers, cooperation is often a two-way choice.

Ronan frowned slightly and looked at the script: "It seems that something is missing?"

Steven Petman said: "This is a teenage musical sitcom. Michel Boyes and I don't understand music creation. The songs need to be created by professionals."

Ronan nodded slowly. For this show to succeed, music is very important.

However, once it succeeds, it is very likely to become an explosive youth idol drama, in which the heroine may even become popular.

Become a big star just like the heroine in the script!

In the script story, the heroine is a split person: half is an ordinary person, and the other half is a popular singer.

The heroine's ordinary identity is a middle school student, but the other identity is actually the popular idol star Hannah Montana. She has always hidden her brown hair with a golden wig, so no one has ever recognized her. For her true identity, she and her family and friends laughed a lot for keeping a secret.

Although it is a sitcom , there are many scenes performed by Hannah Montana.

These are not just going through the scene, but really going to sing.

The script that Ronan said before is incomplete, that is, all the songs in the singing scene are completely blank.

Few screenwriters and producers understand popular music creation, which requires professionals or even a professional team to create it.

"I have contacted several music creation teams." Steven Petman said at this time: "But it needs funds to start."

Ronan closed the script, looked at the name of "Hannah Montana" on the cover, and couldn't help but think of a word.

The Hannah Montana once thoroughly carried forward the concept of "camel toe".
