Chapter 251 Zombie Culture

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

He picked up Kayla Knightley from Disney Studios. Matthew returned to his residence and took a look before entering the house. The paparazzi who were guarding him all night last month disappeared without a trace, not just in the residential area. Recently, he has carefully observed that unless he encounters it by chance, there are few paparazzi chasing him and Kayla Knightley.

Gossip and scandals are time-consuming. He and Kayla Knightley have had a lot of trouble living together, and basically consumed the enthusiasm of the bystanders. In addition, this is Los Angeles, and the stars who break up with each other every day appear from time to time, and the two of them have gradually been forgotten.

After entering the room, Kayla Knightley leaned on the sofa, continued the topic in the car, and said angrily to Matthew, "I really don't understand what you think. I don't take the lead in "King Arthur" and I just want to act in a non-mainstream zombie film."

"Dear," Matthew sat down next to Kayla Knightley, put his arms around her shoulder, and said, "Who made you angry?"

Kayla Knightley leaned against Matthew, humming comfortably, and said, "You will become like me if you train for the whole morning!" Then, she realized something was wrong, "Forget it, people like you will be very energetic for training for a day."

She pulled the topic back, "I can't figure out why you took such a video."

"It's easy to make a profit." Matthew said part of the real reason, "The original film has a certain audience base, and the remakes have the most basic audience. Otherwise, why would Hollywood always like to remake old movies?"

He explained, "The production cost of the video is only $28 million, so it's relatively simple to make a comeback, and I'm a little bit appealing."

Kayla Knightley lay in Matthew's arms and shouted, "What does it mean to have some appeal? You are now strong!" She snorted dissatisfied and muttered, "What are the three protagonists? They are obviously two male protagonists and one supporting actress! You must add a show to the sequel! Otherwise, I won't sign a contract!"

Matthew didn't answer her words and asked instead, "When will you start shooting?"

"It's more than two weeks left." Kayla Knightley thought for a moment and said, "The crew went to the UK on the 20th."

"We're going to break up before you go to England." Matthew looked at Kayla Knightley, "There's not much time."

"Well, we're getting closer to breaking up." Kayla Knightley also nodded.

Then, Matthew and Kayla Knightley discussed the time and details of the breakup.

The two snuggled together intimately, but they were talking about how to break up. They didn't care about each other, as if they had been integrated into the Hollywood environment.

"It's not too much time!" Matthew picked up Kayla Knightley and walked towards his room. "We can't waste it."

Kayla Knightley seemed to agree very much and said, "I will rest these two days, so you don't go out."

Matthew said with a smile, "Even if we break up, I will welcome you back at any time."

"OK!"

Throughout early August, Matthew was not only hiding at home and staying with Kayla Knightley for two days, but was basically busy preparing for "Dawn of the Living Dead". Since the male protagonist in the script is a fighting expert, he only needs to maintain the training of the fitness club and does not have to train alone before filming.

As for the use of firearms for filming, Sean Daniel and Matthew had a conversation. They learned that he had received professional firearm training on the crew of "Black Hawk Down" and did not allow him to join the crew to train in advance.

In fact, since he starred in Captain Ronald Spears in "Brothers", Matthew is a very reassuring actor among producers and directors.

Filming will start at the end of this month. The crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" still has a lot of work to do. For example, because of Matthew's pay negotiations, most of the other actors have not yet been finalized. After Sean Daniel gave Matthew a lot of information, he asked him to talk to director Zach Schneider in detail several times. Out of his understanding of him, he no longer cared about the male lead, and focused on selecting other actors.

Matthew also knew that Helen Hermann had many opportunities in the crew with the advantage of his male lead. The young actors from Angel Agency will appear in large numbers in the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" and play some not very important supporting roles.

For example, he heard from the front desk of the Angel Agency that Alexandra Dadario had passed the audition and would play a girl whose father turned into a zombie.

According to his random thoughts, this can actually become a highlight of the film. Think about it, the bloodthirsty zombies are chasing behind, and Alexandra Dadario is desperately running away, which may shock many viewers...

I just don't know if Zach Schneider would design this way.

He had a pleasant conversation with Zach Schneider. Maybe he could find a suitable opportunity to give such a small suggestion?

Matthew still remembers watching an earthquake movie starring the big guy Johnson. The daughter on it seems to be played by Alexandra Dadario. Whenever there is an earthquake scene with Alexandra Dadario present, it is really shocking.

In addition, the crew has not finalized the most important supporting actress among all the supporting roles in the film.

As far as Matthew knows, Helen Hermann also has ideas about this role, but unfortunately there is no suitable actress to impress Sean Daniel.

Matthew couldn't speak for the actors. After paying attention, he returned to a very regular work and life state. In the morning, he studied the script at Angel Agency, found someone to play and read related information, went to the fitness club to train in the afternoon, and seized the last time with Kayla Knightley in the evening.

Among the information provided by the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead", there are a lot of information about zombies. Sean Daniel even got the sample book of "Zombie Survival Manual" that has not yet been launched. Matthew has read these information and not only has a better understanding of zombies, but also found that zombies have formed a unique zombie culture throughout North America and even a larger range.

At the earliest, the term zbie (zombie, zombie) originated from a mysterious religion popular in Ghana, West Africa. It was later spread to Haiti in the West Indies in the 16th century due to the slave trafficking of white colonists.

It is said that in this religious belief, wizards have a mysterious ritual that can resurrect the dead and become zombies for their power.

This is the original origin of the concept of zombies.

If you want to talk about the earliest Hollywood zombie movies, you can tell them until the 1930s.

The zombie movie mentioned in the information is "White Zombies" starring the famous vampire actor Bella Lugaosi in 1932.

In order to better understand the zombie film culture in Hollywood, Matthew specially found this film to watch. Unexpectedly, this film is completely different from modern zombie films. It tells the story of a voodoo wizard using witchcraft to turn people into zombies, allowing them to make money for their work in the sugar factory day and night. In this movie, zombies neither eat people nor rot, but their skin is as pale as a corpse. Instead, their endless work makes people feel pity.

This is also the difference between the zombies in voodoo religion and the zombies in modern popular culture. Zombies in voodoo religion are just products of witchcraft. Although they will kill people under the instructions of wizards, they do not eat people in essence, and they will not make the victims become zombies by biting them.

So how did zombies develop into their current image? There are also related narratives in the information. Later, someone added a little inspiration from the rabies virus to zombies.

Thus, modern zombies were born: viruses, infections, aggressiveness, irrationality, and death.

The image of zombies in the true sense in modern popular culture was born, and it was widely spread in the movie "Night of the Living Dead" directed by George A-Romero in 1968. Zombies are no longer simply and rigidly controlled coolie images, but instead become horrible images of immortality, rotting limbs, and biting living people.

George A-Romero also became the veritable father of modern zombie films. His "Living Dead Trilogy" not only criticizes current ills, but also has distinct characteristics of the times, but also has bloody violence, which makes people eye-open the zombie scenes, which influences countless zombie movies afterwards, and also lays several general developments for the later zombie culture. It can be called the "three laws of robots" in the zombie world, and has been used to this day.

Therefore, the routines of zombie movies are generally similar. First of all, the unknown reason causes the dead to "resurrect" and become zombies. The zombies themselves have no consciousness and thinking ability and rely on instinct activities, and their only nature is to eat human flesh.

Secondly, zombies will be infected, and those bitten by zombies will quickly turn into zombies after death.

Finally, the zombies are in a state of immortality, so no matter how they hurt their body, the zombies will continue to move. The only way to make them lose their ability to move is to shoot headshots, which makes many zombie movies look bloody, and the pleasure brought by headshots is unparalleled. Most zombie movies are a feast for headshots.

In addition to the thriller attributes, zombie movies often have attributes such as doomsday and disasters. Therefore, the focus of zombie movies is often not zombies, but humans in extreme environments. How do they choose whether to rely on each other and help each other, or kill similar people for their own survival...

After reading these materials, the biggest feeling is that if there is a possibility of a zombie outbreak, the most unfortunate thing is not to become a zombie, but to survive. The survivor is the real walking zombie.
