Chapter 440： "Resident Evil" series (1)

"Ride to New York" is still showing.

But Lyman is starting to get busy with Firefly's new TV series.

As a part of the zombie project, the movie is a part of the TV to realize the traffic, and it is necessary to conceive a plot line suitable for a long story.

Three days later, when Lyman wrote a small outline, setting the tone for the TV series, he handed it over to Jonathan Nolan's screenwriting team.

Formally fill in the plot story.

The first is that the background of the drama revolves around the collapse of society after the outbreak of the zombie virus; the second is that the protagonist is the savior to restore order.

The storyline mainly grasps these two aspects, and it is generally impossible to go wrong.

And just when Lehman started this matter and wrote the first version of the script as soon as possible, someone came to him - Paul Anderson wanted to see him, and he came to Hollywood from England.

It is said that when this guy was studying, he graduated as the youngest student with a bachelor's degree in film and literature at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom. There is a little bookishness in his bones.

Think about it, this guy is a man who made the series "Resident Evil" specially for his girlfriend in order to please his girlfriend and express his love.

Milla Jovovich did get along with Paul more and more during the filming of the film. After thinking about it for a long time, the two held an engagement in 2003 and officially became Paul's fiancee.

Therefore, since he watched "New York Trip" that day and gained some inspiration, he immediately conceived the third feature film of "Resident Evil", but how he wrote it, he always felt that it was almost meaningless and not very confident, so he suddenly On a whim, I want to meet Lyman, who has created the highest-grossing zombie-themed work. Meet and chat with him.

As for whether Lyman is willing to meet him, and whether he will make any suggestions for his script outline after meeting, it is not within Paul Anderson's expectations.

Without him, only self-willed.

He just wanted to try, and he had seen director Lehmann's past works and felt that he was also a sentimental person, so he should not refuse an invitation to play a screenwriter.

In short, this product is here to get the truth.

Although the first and second "Resident Evil" were still successful, they did not really make Milla Jovovich purple, which actually made him a little dissatisfied. Of course, his fiancee doesn't mind, and even if there is a fire in the future, the two will still love each other.

......

When Paul Anderson came to him, Lehmann really baffled, but he agreed.

On this day, Lyman was discussing the construction of the script for the first season with Jonathan and others. The little girl at the front desk knocked on the door and brought people up.

Paul Anderson is only 38 years old. He is wearing a black and white plaid sweater and a thick black leather coat. His hair is not well groomed, it looks messy, and his appearance is very ordinary. A special face with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his nose.

After the front desk left, Lehman dragged him to the next office and asked the assistant to make a cup of coffee.

Seeing Lehman himself, Paul Anderson looked a little shy again, didn't talk much, said hello politely and sat on the sofa, looking at him.

However, Lehmann is actually quite interested in him, or the projects he is in charge of.

Lyman still knows how popular the "Resident Evil" series will be in the future.

Right now, the Lord is coming to the door and holding a script for him to read. This......

Wouldn't it be to pull investment?

I haven't heard that Paul Anderson will be short of money.

Behind this fellow, there are local production companies in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom to endorse him, and Mubao Films helps them seek distribution in North America - Paul Anderson's operation is very similar to the early Lehmann, both of which are united with the European film and television industry. , looking for a North American distribution company to work together to make a profit.

Oh, by the way, the shareholders of Mubao Films are the above-mentioned German Constantin Films, French Davis and British Impact Films, and three Wall Street foundations.

It can be said that it is very European, and its background is somewhat similar to that of Lionsgate, but it does not have the financial strength and courage of Lionsgate, and it is determined to establish a foothold in Hollywood. It belongs to the kind of people who leave after earning a fortune. They usually don't get involved too much and compete for Hollywood's film and television resources.

Lyman opened the script with doubts, and before he could read it carefully, Paul Anderson finally remembered what he was here for, and said excitedly: "Mr. Lyman, I like your company's "New York Trip" very much. , this script also refers to the collapse of humanity after the sudden zombie virus destroys the social order in the movie. The only pity is that the description of this part in "New York Row" is too small. I want to try it in "Resident Evil" "The sequel also added this kind of portrayal of morality and social phenomena without the law..."

Lehman looked at it and said, "Well, it's a very good idea, go ahead and say it."

Paul Anderson saw that Lyman was listening attentively, and said with joy: ""Resident Evil: Extinction" is a continuation of the previous "Apocalypse" story. With the earth-shattering explosion of a powerful nuclear weapon, the entire city of Lacken has been removed from Meitu. The survivors' camp built on the ruins is extremely difficult to live in. On the other hand, Alice is determined to enter the umbrella when she learns that the source of all these terrible disasters is from the umbrella company. The company's headquarters..."

This version of Paul Anderson's script is not as marketable as the previous version, and is somewhat literary.

Of course, every version of the script for this product has been compromised. The requirements of the management and the preferences of the actors have been changed in a mess after it was formed. This is also a very normal thing in the industry. Even if Paul Anderson is the producer of the entire series, he can't do it exactly as he wants.

After reading the script outline, it is not very different from the plot in Lyman's previous life memory is to focus on adding some scenes to describe how the survivors struggle to survive in a city full of zombies.. ....

Of course, Lehmann has filmed and supervised so many film and television works, and the plots and actors have been changed, so I don't think there is any problem.

He really wanted him to think that if it was filmed according to the currently designed script outline, it would be easy to beat the box office of the first two previous films, even if it couldn't compare to "Train to New York".

This is entirely viewed from the market perspective that Lehman developed personally, and it is also the movie viewing experience he accumulated in his previous life for more than ten years.

After closing the script, Lehman asked with some doubts: "The outline and main story are well written, but are you coming to see me?"

"Oh, I'm a little unsure whether the movie will be accepted by the audience. The first two films were adapted from the game's plot. Most of this film did not refer to the original game."

"Haha, is this also the attitude of adaptation? It's not restricted. Those who have played the game may not necessarily go to the theater to support it. Your eyes should be wider, rather than simply satisfying game fans."

To be honest, it was from the third part of the previous life that the plot of the original game was greatly changed, and the "Resident Evil" series really rose.
