300 Chapter 300 Digging Deep (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)

The original work of ”Dawn of the Living Dead” is the second part of the ”Death Trilogy” filmed by director George-A-Romilow, and the opening of the walking dead culture comes from ”Night of the Living Dead” in 1968. It is the first part of the trilogy.

There has been a gap of nearly ten years between the two works. The reason is that when this setting was first launched, the director himself had not been able to conceive it well, it seemed very rough, and the market did not buy it.

It wasn't until 1979 that George sold ”Dawn of the Living Dead” for $500,000. After it was released, it was praised with more than 20 million rolls in the United States and a total of more than 50 million box office results worldwide.

However, the director of George-A-Romiro is also a strange thing. In addition to being able to shoot well on the theme of walking dead, this product is also a hit on the street. Therefore, it has not been on the stage since then. , Over time, it slowly faded.

In the following many years, it is not that no one thought of remaking this classic old film, but the problem is that the copyright owner Abraham does not intend to restart.

It was not until the appearance of Eric Newman that he was moved by the good adaptation of the story and some improved walking dead settings.

Going around, the director of this project fell to Zach Schneider.

But these people, together, did not have enough shooting funds and required distribution channels, so they thought of cooperating with others.

Firefly Pictures is one of their options.

However, after Lehman read the script, he felt that the plot was too old-fashioned, and he did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Zach Schneider to call the script's screenwriter.

The next morning, the three gathered in Schneider's studio.

After greeting each other, Lehman said straightforwardly: ”I think I can invest, and it's okay to help with the release, but the script has to be changed.”

The screenwriter Eric Newman is not a person who values ​​his creation, or he hopes that his project can run smoothly, otherwise he would not think of remaking an old film.It's not all for money to be able to do this.

So seeing investment opportunities, he happily agreed: ”Mr. Lyman, you say.”

”The style of this film has to change. It doesn't mean that zombie films must be scary and bloody. Have you ever thought about changing your mind?” Lehman suggested: ”Have you seen ”Resident Evil”?”

”Have heard of it.” Eric was very honest.

Well, only one movie adapted from the game has been released, and the market has not received much response. It is the reputation that has gradually accumulated due to the sequels.

”That movie also has a similar setting, and the story is also very innovative, so if we want to make a zombie movie that takes place in modern society, we can't take the repetitive path, and the protagonist may not always be dangerous every time. Overcome the crisis. Do you know what I mean?”

”The abuser?” Eric Newman looked puzzled.

Lehman simply found a piece of white paper from the desk and took out a pencil from the pen holder on the side. Xixi drew a picture of a scene, similar to a train station, and said as he drew: ”Zombie-themed works , Whether it’s a comic or a game, or even the ”Resident Evil” I was talking about, it has gone out of its own way. If you blindly restore ”Dawn of the Living Dead”, it will just eat your old books. There is no new idea, and it will not necessarily be marketed. Accept it, so you have to be innovative. I don’t see much innovation in your script.”

”Then how to design plot development?”
