”Human nature. Do you think, in a society that suddenly changes, what happens when the people encounter an infection crisis similar to the doomsday? Everyone’s choices and choices in the face of disasters are meaningless. Put the perspective from the zombies to Human beings.”
”Will it be too long, it is difficult to express it in detail.” As a screenwriter, Eric Newman saw the problem at a glance.
Portraits of people have always been the most difficult to portray, which is why the film rarely enlarges the pattern. For example, ”The Day After Acquired”, which is obviously a global natural disaster outbreak, only locks the city of New York, and a group of suffering people is the same.
Lehman nodded, full of approval: ”You are right, so we have to take the initiative to reduce the scene to show the story that happened. You said, on a moving train, an infected person enters, what will happen? ”
With that said, hand over the painted scene picture.
In the small carriage, there are infected zombies on one side, and the panicked crowd on the other...
”This idea is incredible.”
Zach Schneider watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but said: ”Using a moving train as a scene carrier directly intensifies the conflict in the drama. It's very interesting.”
”Because it happened suddenly, what will the public's reaction be tested?”
Eric Newman continued: ”A whole station is turned into purgatory, and the difficulty of survival is infinitely magnified?”
”Yes, that's it.” Lehman nodded and said: ”So such a movie is more a test of group portraits. It is not focused on a single protagonist, nor does it have the bloody large-scale shots that zombie movies like, but it is more cruel. .”
”Listen, it feels wonderful.” Zach Schneider was completely inspired by this creative setting.
Eric Newman looked at Lyman, ”How about the main line of the story?”
Lehman thought for a while, and said, ”Let's start from the main perspective of a father and daughter. The father, the actor A, is an office worker and has a daughter who has just divorced.”
”one-parent family?”
”Yes, this is the design reason for them to go to the train station.” Lehman continued: ”During the vacation, my daughter clamored to see her mother. My father was helpless, so he asked for leave to take her. For the train route, the final stop would be to New York , I thought about the name of the movie, and it’s called ”New York Trip.” As for how the virus broke out, you can think about how to bury the clues reasonably. Then, you can also think about how the infected people got into the station. Now, let the audience see something abnormal, but don’t know what will happen. Keep a certain sense of mystery.”
”Well, I will conceive it well.” Eric Newman took a note of the idea.
After speaking, he hesitated and said: ”But if this happens, there will be a lot of movie scenes, and you will have to deal with the New York City government. In terms of cost...”
Originally, the project shooting budget they conceived was only 25 million US dollars. It was because they had spent too much on group performances. But now, if they are conceived according to Lehman’s creativity, rough calculations may not be possible without a 50 million base. come out.This is still under the premise of not considering the joining of big-name celebrities, if the first-line actors are invited to participate in the performance, a large production of hundreds of millions is properly done.
”Don't worry about this.”
