Who was the heroine of the "Hunger Games" series, because of a certain door in Hollywood, Ronan remembers it relatively clearly, after all, too many people in China have seen the photos of the eldest cousin, and some of them are comparable to the female artists of the San Fernando Valley.

The eldest cousin seems to be a post-90s generation, and now it's only 2007, who knows where the eldest cousin drinks milk.

Ronan said, "What do you suggest for the actor to play Katniss?"

George Clint thought for a moment and said, "CAA has a lot of rookie actresses, and many of them are of good standard...... Of course, we don't have to limit our eyes to CAA, and we can hold a wide range of auditions. ”

Ronan nodded slightly, this is also a good way.

Lindsey Beale interjected at this point: "I have an actor to recommend. ”

"Tell me about it. "Ronan knows that Lindsay Beale is a reliable person and will not recommend the Wonder Actor.

Lindsay Beale immediately said: "In the second half of last year, CAA recommended a rookie actor to me, wanting her to play a small role in "Gossip Girl" or other projects. Ronan, you know, we worked closely with CAA on the TV project, so I met the actress and auditioned for a role in Gossip Girl. ”

Ronan is not surprised by this, according to the good cooperative relationship between Relativity Entertainment and CAA, under the same conditions, the crew of Shahai Entertainment will definitely give priority to candidates from CAA.

Lindsey Beale continued: "Her acting skills are average, but she is also above the basic level, and most importantly, Katniss has a lot of action scenes, which requires the actor to be athletic. The actress is a model-turned, has undergone professional physical training, and has also served in the Israeli army......"

Hearing this, Ronan had an inexplicable sense of familiarity and asked, "Serving in the Israeli army?"

Lindsay Beale replied, "Yes, Israelites, called Gal Gadot." ”

After listening to the previous introduction, Ronan had a guess, and there was no surprise about the name, and said: "In this way, since you are optimistic about her, keep in touch with her, and after the "Hunger Games" crew is formed, invite her to audition for Katniss." ”

Lindsey Beale said, "Okay. ”

George Clint has no opinion on this, most of the leading actors of the crew, who can win the audition in the end, many times come from recommendations in the industry.

Even in many cases, the recommendation of a qualified person in the industry is more important than the audition result.

The three-person meeting ended quickly, and Ronan returned to his office to take time out of his way to read the first draft of The Hunger Games, which Lindsay Beale had already completed.

Recently, with the influence of the popularity of "The Twilight Zone", "The Hunger Games" has rushed to the top five of the New York Times bestseller list, and by the time Relativity Entertainment promotes the movie, it may still have the possibility of rushing to the top of the championship.

Although the island nation's remarks about plagiarizing "Battle Royale" have not stopped, North America has not been affected in the slightest.

As long as the first film adaptation is successful, "The Hunger Games" will definitely be filmed into a film trilogy.

Since the day-to-day operations of the company are handled by Robert Iger, Ronan's energy is still more focused on film and television projects.

Ronan replied to Lindsey Beale about the Hunger Games script, which still needs to be polished.

Subsequently, he began to approve the newly submitted projects of Shahai Entertainment.

Most of them are sequel films, and since there are successful precedents ahead, it is only natural that a sequel project should be established.

In terms of new projects, Jared Abrams has finished post-production on Hurricane Rescue 3 and will officially move into the preparation of The Clover Archives after a sabbatical.

This alternative sci-fi film will be released next year.

With the completion of the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy, the cooperation between Shahai Entertainment and Liam Neeson has reached a new stage.

According to Ronan's request, the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment used the outline he provided as a model and came up with a project script about the rescue on the plane.

After Ronan read it, he asked people to transfer it to Liam Neeson, and the actor read the script first.

The rescue road of this veteran movie star has only entered the middle stage.

Of course, there is no need to rush the project named "Air Rescue" by Ronan, "Hurricane Rescue 3" will be released this year's holiday file, and the new rescue film will have to be separated by one to two years.

If it is too often, it will also cause the audience to get bored.

Needless to say, Relativity Entertainment's Marvel superhero movie project is steadily advancing, and the alternative superhero movie "King Haibian", under the leadership of director and producer Matthew Vaughn, has reached the final stage of preparation.

Matthew Vaughn also submitted his latest report to Ronan, and the crew identified all the main actors, and in the audition for the crucial heroine, Chloe Moretz, who was a year older, fought her way through the encirclement and defeated many strong competitors, including Dakota Fanning, and finally got the role.

Ronan also watched a video of Chloe Moretz's audition, and the superkiller girl when she was a child was really beautiful and cute to the point of being a mess.

Who would have thought that Chloe Moretz would grow up to be like that.

And it's not a serious fat problem, but because of the natural skeleton, it's very difficult to do.

Anyway, Chloe Moretz as a child was enough to fall into a big movie.

The film will start filming this year and will be released next year.

Unlike Marvel's superhero movies, "King Haibian" is larger in scale and bloodier.

Matthew Vaughn also intends to work with Relativity Entertainment for a long time, and plans to remake a new version of "Ace Agent" after filming "King Haibian".

That is, based on Mark Miller's recreated comic book based on the first version of the film, and then adapted for the film.

In order to attract investment from the Abu Dhabi consortium, the "Ace Agent" filmed and produced by Shahai Entertainment was not a success, but through Hollywood-style operations, the producer made a lot of profits.

This also laid the foundation for the later establishment of Relativity Entertainment.

Now that there is an opportunity to rearrange the filming, Ronan also plans to let Matthew Vaughn try it.

Now Hollywood agents, one by one, have become like Jason Bourne, retro-style gentleman agents, but they will stand out from the crowd.

The winds in the film market are not static.

Moreover, the investment in this project will not be particularly high, at best it will only be an upper-medium scale investment project.

After Ronan finished dealing with Shahai Entertainment's film and television projects, he took a closer look at Connie's latest list of literary submissions, including the New York Times bestseller list, as well as some literary works that have received more attention recently.

In this list of literary works, Connie has marked all the works whose adaptations have been sold, both the time of the transaction and the information of the buyer.

With the current situation in Hollywood, once the adaptation copyright of a literary work falls into the hands of medium and large film companies, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to get it again.

So, Ronan first focused on works whose copyrights had not yet been sold.

It didn't take long for him to see a familiar name in it - "Weakness: The Progression of the Game".

Sandra Bullock is considered to be one of the most popular actresses after the Oscars entered the new century, and the film in which she won the Best Actress was called "Weakness".

Ronan saw the name of this non-fiction book and remembered the film, vaguely impressed, Sandra Bullock seemed to have an expression from beginning to end.

used to be able to win an Oscar with this film, more about public relations and qualifications.

Ronan took a closer look at the relevant materials for this literary work.

"Weakness: The Process of the Game" was published and released in 2006, the author is called Michael Lewis, a special writer for "Vanity Fair", and he is a relatively well-known non-fiction writer in the United States.

This is based on a true event by Michael Lewis and tells a true story about the real-life experiences of Mississippi State football star Tackle Michael Oher and his adoptive parents, the Taussy couple.

Ronan once watched the movie, I don't remember what the specific name of the male protagonist in it is, but I have the impression that he is a black man, and it is also a rugby theme.

Michael Oher is also Black, a star player in the NCAA.

According to Connie's collection, there are a lot of teams in the NFL that are very interested in Michael Oher.

Ronan is basically certain that this is the source of the adaptation of the film that once starred Sandra Bullock.

The vast majority of films that have won Oscar heavyweights are also realistic themes, and the most common is adaptations.

Determined this, Ronan immediately sent Weakness: Game Progression and its related materials to Robert Lee, asking his department to go and take the rights as soon as possible.

Rugby is the most popular sport in North America, and the NFL is the No. 1 professional sports league in the United States, killing other events in seconds, so the football theme is also the most marketable sports movie genre in North America.

Once a company notices "Weakness: The Tournament Progress", it is estimated that it will also be moved.

Michael Oher's experience is very detached, and it is also in line with the mainstream values of the family and black and white coexistence in American society.

If Michael Oher enters the NFL with a lower pick this year or next year and enters the NFL with a lower pick, it may attract more attention.

This kind of thing is really quick to have, but not fast.

Robert Lee moved fairly quickly and sent someone to contact Michael Lewis the next day, but Michael Lewis, who was not a rookie writer and had experience working in Vanity Fair, asked for a $5 million licensing fee.

To shoot this kind of movie, it is not only necessary to get the adaptation copyright, but since all the real people exist, at least they must get the authorization of Michael Oher himself and the Taussy family, otherwise it will be quite troublesome later.

It wasn't until just before the Oscars that Relativity Entertainment negotiated the project, spending a total of $6 million and basically getting all the relevant licenses.

However, this project will not be on the agenda right away, at least until Michael Oher enters the NFL.

At the end of February, the awards season came to its final stage - the 79th Academy Awards!
