"Tracy, you're here. ”

As soon as he came out of the restaurant, Johnny Depp saw the agent and quickly asked, "You and that ......"

He patted his drunken head, which was slightly dizzy, and finally remembered: "That Ronan Anderson, yes! Just Ronan Anderson, how did you talk to him?"

Tracy Jacob casually put the character script and setting sketch on the coffee table and said, "I'm disappointed, not the good character I expected." ”

In fact, she is also confused about Johnny Depp's development route, more than ten years have passed, and she is still playing some non-mainstream alternative roles, and the drama path is getting narrower and narrower, if it weren't for Tim Burton's support, Johnny Depp's star road would be even more bumpy.

It's not easy to make a transformation, I originally thought it was an opportunity, after all, "Spy" made Matt Damon's transformation quite successful.

Who knew it would be a pirate theme.

Hell, there are still people in Hollywood who want to make big investment pirate movies, I don't know whether to say that Ronan Anderson is so self-confident that he gets carried away, or is he really crazy.

Johnny Depp casually asked, "What character?"

Tracy Jacob replied, "A pirate captain. ”

Johnny Depp had just picked up the character script and setting sketches, and when he heard that it was a pirate captain, he instantly lost interest.

He's just a bit of an offbeat and a jerk, but he's not stupid, and he naturally knows what the pirate genre means in Hollywood these days.

"Depp!" Vanessa Paradis's voice suddenly came from upstairs, "Hurry up and look at Lily!"

Johnny Depp's face was a little embarrassed.

Vanessa Paradis's voice was even louder: "Depp, you bastard, hurry up!"

Johnny Depp had no choice but to say to the agent: "Tracy, feel free, I'll go upstairs first." ”

Tracy Jacob hurriedly waved his hand and let Depp feel free.

Johnny Depp hurriedly walked towards the side of the stairs, and before going upstairs, he found that he still had the character script in his hand, and he casually put it on the shelf by the stairs, and went upstairs in a hurry.

Tracy Jacob looked at Johnny Depp's back thoughtfully, as if after having a daughter, Johnny Depp finally matured a little and understood the responsibilities of men.

That's a good thing.

Do you want to be a prodigal star for life?

As you get older, this path will soon become untenable.

I hope Depp can really grow up.

Soon, Johnny Depp came down from upstairs with a little girl in his arms, and Vanessa Paradis, who had long hair and waist-length, also followed, greeting Tracy Jacob with a smile.

Looking at this happy family, what pirate movies, what pirate themes, all were thrown behind by Tracy Jacob.

Ronan's first contact with Johnny Depp did not go well, and after Tracy Jacob took away the character script and setting draft, there was no news back for a while, and it seems that all Hollywood is afraid of the pirate theme like a tiger.

A pirate movie that brings down a medium-sized studio, even if there are other reasons for it, is still scary to say.

Since "Cut Throat Island", Hollywood has not made a slightly larger pirate-themed movie, which can also explain one or two.

Ronan has a certain psychological preparation for this, and also knows that Shahai Entertainment is not as good as Disney Pictures, and his own appeal in the production field is not as good as Jerry Bruckheimer, whether it is funds or personnel, it is normal to encounter some difficulties.

Such a top-level production cannot be done in a short time.

Shahai Entertainment also had preliminary contact with Gore Wibinski, and the news was not good, not that Gore Wibinsky had doubts about the pirate theme, but that Gore Wibinski had just signed a directing contract with DreamWorks Pictures and was preparing to shoot the American version of the famous horror film "Midnight Bells" in the island nation.

Ronan briefly inquired about the film, directed by Gore Verbinski, and the heroine was the late-blooming Naomi Watts, which was invested and filmed by DreamWorks Pictures.

The horror remake won't be completed until February or March next year at the earliest, and according to his directorial contract with DreamWorks Pictures, Gore Verbinski won't be able to talk about a new director's job until then.

That is, it is unlikely that Gore Verbinsky will be able to transfer to work on Pirates of the Caribbean before March next year.

Ronan has kept in touch with Gore Verbinski and his agent, while also considering a backup.

Even Johnny Depp is considering the necessary backups.

As a producer, it's impossible to hang yourself from a tree, even if that person lives himself as Captain Jack Sparrow.

For this kind of crazy role, Jim Carrey may be a backup candidate.

In contrast, the contact with Miss A's side of Keira Knightley, who is filming a film called "Kick Like Beckham", in which she plays a supporting actress and can switch to a new crew at any time if the crew needs it.

The little blacksmith has not been in contact for the time being, and Ronan is thinking about whether to change to a powerful actor with a strong force, and he has more funny talent with Depp.

How is the beauty of the prosperous age Guoda Statham?

In terms of appearance, it is the level of beauty in the prosperous world, and the London accent is also very standard.

In terms of muscular body, it is the existence of the elf prince in seconds.

Also, it seems that Dwayne Johnson is not bad, and that muscle is obviously more in line with the blacksmith's setting.

But if it is replaced by Dwayne Johnson, it will be too embarrassing for Miss A Keira Knightley, after all, if the breasts are not as big as the male ticket, it doesn't seem to be very coordinated.

This is not a good candidate.

Ronan thought about it again and again, and decided to look at the situation, now that the project has just been put on the agenda, these tasks are in a hurry.

In contrast, the script had to be further refined.

At present, there are two scripts that the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment has prioritized, one is "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the other is "Hurricane Rescue".

The latter will also be on the agenda in the second half of the year.

Finding the right action movie director is also Ronan's most important job.

After a proper disclosure with CAA, CAA recommended Joseph McGenty Niccher, the director of "Thunderbolt", but Ronan directly refused after meeting, and there was a huge irreparable difference between the two sides in action design.

Joseph McGenty Nicher doesn't seem to have woken up from the success of "Breaking Bad" and thinking that the best action design in North America today is "Breaking Bad"-style.

Ronan didn't have the slightest interest in this kind of fancy dance and kung fu, so he asked the agent's father to dance, what kind of joke?

Dance will soon be withdrawn from the mainstream stage of Hollywood films.

Ronan brainstormed and asked everyone in the company to recommend a few people who they thought were suitable, and then make the best selection.

In Hollywood, the world's gathering place for film talent, there is always the right director.

This is also the advantage of Hollywood, attracting film talents from all over the world to develop, as long as there are the right projects and funding, there is no need to worry about not being able to pull the crew.

And it can ensure that the crew members are qualified talents.

After the first draft of the script for "Hurricane Rescue" came out, Ronan also made initial contact with Liam Neeson's agent, Liam Neeson had just finished filming "Star Wars Prequel 2: Attack of the Clones", and there was no other work to be done at present, and he was still somewhat interested in playing a secret agent father, and the only condition was that the salary should be sufficient.

This is also good news in a series of not-so-smooth news.

Liam Neeson has a valuable future, and he is a typical example of getting older and more popular, which is also the advantage of many Hollywood actors.

Hollywood actresses tend to decline rapidly after the age of thirty-five, and their status and appeal are greatly reduced, but there are quite a few uncle-type male stars who get older and better.

Ronan is also thinking about whether to rely on Liam Neeson to make a series of rescue series if they can successfully cooperate?

Let Liam Neeson rescue on screen until the audience wants to throw up.

Hurricane Rescue, Night Rescue, Train Rescue, Plane Rescue, Cemetery Rescue, Army Rescue......

There are really a lot of rescues that can be done.

If you can't do it, you can also go and rescue Batman.

Uwe Ball can be the king of bad movies, and Liam Neeson can be the king of rescue.

Finally, friends who must like Liam Neeson movies know that there is no evil force in reality that can threaten Liam Neeson.

Whether it is an international mafia organization, a criminal syndicate with an official background, a vicious mafia, or a frenzied terrorist, Liam Neeson has been stabbed one by one.

Longtan Tiger's Den, airplanes and ships, only places that humans can't reach, and there is no one that Uncle Liam can't save.

Ronan still remembers that whenever he saw Liam Neeson's face in his previous life, he felt a very down-to-earth sense of security, and even the wrinkles on his uncle's face felt sexy and handsome.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Liam Neeson can continue to rescue.

While Ronan was busy with these two projects, "Spy Shadow" continued to be released in North America, and with the addition of the Robert Ludron effect, the North American box office started to an excellent situation to the present, and the North American box office finally exceeded $150 million, reaching $151.26 million.

At the same time, the number of countries and regions in which the film was screened overseas increased to 75, with a total overseas box office of $95.26 million and a global box office of nearly $250 million.

According to the current trend, there is basically no problem with the global box office exceeding $300 million in the end.

The successive successes of the films released by Embassy Pictures have also increased the confidence of theaters in "Fatal Bend".

A week before the release, all copies of "Fatal Bend" were put in place, and there were as many as 2,355 theaters in North America, and the theaters were very confident in this traditional plasma horror film.

On July 20, 2001, "Fatal Bend" held a grand premiere at the Emirates Rock Theater in Hollywood.

This is a horror premiere that has been carefully choreographed based on Ronan's opinion.
