Chapter 488: The Big Heroine
Taking Scarlett Johansson's script, Ronan took a look at it, and there was only the screenwriter's name, Alex Kutzman, on the cover, and the position of the script title was a capital code "X".
This is very common in the industry, and some projects often use code names before they are officially prepared.
Scarlett Johansson said at this time: "I want to transform into business, the agent helped me contact this project, the producer thought I was also good, and directly gave the script, as long as the audition did not have too many surprises, I still have a lot of hope of getting the heroine of this project." ”
Ronan didn't rush to read the script, but asked, "Why do you suddenly want to make a commercial film?" Scarlett, you are the goddess of literature and art." ”
"The goddess of literature and art?" Scarlett Johansson said with a bit of self-deprecation, "It sounds lofty, but unfortunately it doesn't have any real benefits." Can the goddess of literature and art bring me more fame, or can it improve my status in the industry, or can it make me get a higher salary?"
Ronan shrugged his shoulders and couldn't answer for a while.
After all, he has rolled the sheets many times, and he knows a little bit about Scarlett Johansson, this girl started acting in movies before she was ten years old, and has been in Hollywood for nearly ten years.
To paraphrase the words of the Internet, Scarlett Johansson is different from other young girls who are still living in all kinds of wonderful fantasies, and can be described as a standard social person.
Scarlett Johansson pulled out a lady's cigarette and gestured to Ronan, "Is that okay?"
Ronan glanced at her and said, "Whatever." ”
Scarlett Johansson lit a cigarette and said, "I also want a high quality of life, not to be a poor ghost in the name of the goddess of literature and art." So, I'm going to move to the business side, and the role of transformation is very critical, Ronan, you are known for your good vision, and I want to hear advice. ”
Ronan smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that the advice I gave is wrong?"
Scarlett Johansson was honest: "I was the one who made the choice in the end. She also laughed: "Ronan, we are the best match, I believe you will not harm me." ”
Of course, Ronan could hear the meaning of this best partner.
Frankly, of all the young girls he has met, Scarlett Johansson's technique is the best.
Ronan flipped through the script: "My words can only be used as a reference. ”
He himself is more social than Scarlett Johansson, and if the two hadn't had a relationship, this so-called favor would definitely not help.
But he is also a very particular person.
So, Ronan opened the script and read it.
This is a science fiction screenplay, set in the not-so-distant mid-21st century.
The male protagonist is called Lincoln, and the female protagonist is called Jordan......
They live with hundreds of partners in an underground society similar to a utopia, surrounded by advanced precision instruments, methodical life rhythm and efficient and intelligent defense systems, although they do not see the light of day all day, but according to the description of the base scientists, in their heads, the entire planet has been completely polluted by nuclear war, and no living thing can survive there.
All the inhabitants of the base are looking forward to a lottery where the lucky ones will be sent to the last unpolluted place, a place called 'The. Island's hideaway.
Seeing this, Ronan already understood what the script in his hand was about.
Isn't this Michael Bay's "Escape from Clone Island"? The male protagonist is Ewan McGregor, and the female protagonist is Scarlett Johansson.
Ronan skimmed through the script and asked directly, "Scarlett, who is the director of this project?"
Scarlett Johansson threw the cigarette butt that had long been extinguished into the trash and said: "This is the work that DreamWorks is ready to invest in filming, the director is Michael Bay, and DreamWorks has signed him." ”
Ronan nodded slightly, that's right, it must be "Escape from Clone Island" without a doubt.
"What about the producer?" Ronan asked the key to this, also reminding Scarlett Johansson: "Is the producer Jerry Bruckheimer?"
Scarlett Johansson shook her head: "No. Michael Bay doubles as director and producer. She was a very experienced actor, and when she heard that Ronan meant something else, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem with this?"
Ronan pondered for a moment and said: "Michael Bay has been working with Jerry Bruckheimer since directing his first film 'Jedi Men', and Jerry Bruckheimer has played an extremely key role in Michael Bay's rise. ”
He closed the script and returned it to Scarlett Johansson: "According to you, Michael Bey, this is the first work that ended his collaboration with Jerry Bruckheimer. ”
Scarlett Johansson took the script and showed a thoughtful look, she is not the kind of woman with big breasts and no brains, and she has a certain ability to judge.
"Do you think this film might fail?" asked Scarlett Johansson tentatively.
Of course, Ronan will not give a direct answer, saying: "Before a film is filmed and produced, or even before it is released, no one can determine the success or failure. I'm just pointing you out a possible risk issue in the Michael Bay films, which have been checked by Jerry Bruckheimer in the past. ”
"Thank you. Scarlett Johansson felt rewarded and said: "I will discuss this carefully with my agent. ”
Ronan didn't say much about the script, instead asking, "Do you really want to move on to commercial films?"
Scarlett Johansson nodded: "Actually, "Octopus" is an attempt, but it failed. ”
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "I may have a suitable type here, I don't know if you are interested." ”
Scarlett Johansson hurriedly said, "Of course I'm interested. She asked with concern, "What kind of movie?"
"A zombie movie. Ronan briefly introduced: "Shahai Entertainment is preparing a new project, a new film remake of George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Living Dead", in which the first protagonist is a woman. ”
Hearing that it was a zombie movie, Scarlett Johansson hesitated a little: "A remake of a zombie movie?"
Ronan said: "If you are interested, I can say hello to the crew and arrange for you to audition for the crew." ”
Scarlett Johansson looked at Ronan for a moment before she said, "Do you need me to do anything?"
The meaning of these words was very clear to both of them, and Ronan said directly: "You have already done it." ”
"Hmm...... Can I read the script first?" Scarlett Johansson's perception that zombie movies are non-mainstream genres: "After reading the script, I'll give you an answer, is it okay?"
Ronan said, "Okay, go find Connie when you leave and ask her to take you to get the script." ”
After putting away the DreamWorks script, Scarlett Johansson chatted with Ronan for a while, quit the office, and asked Connie to get the script for "Dawn of the Living Dead" before leaving Relativity Entertainment.
Scarlett Johansson got into the car, flipped through the script and looked at it roughly, and compared it with the DreamWorks script, furrowing a pair of golden eyebrows slightly.
"Dawn of the Living Dead" is obviously not a big commercial film project, with a production budget of $20 million at most, and the director is a newcomer director like Zack Schneider, who has never heard of it, and the genre is still a bit outdated zombie film.
Normally, when she gets this kind of script, Scarlett Johansson will push it off without even thinking about it, but this is the project that Ronan recommended to her.
Ronan is a person, Scarlett Johansson in in-depth contact, I think he is still very reliable, and from what she knows, Ronan is not the kind of bastard producer who doesn't recognize people with his pants up.
And Ronan's film projects in the past have a fairly high success rate.
It seems that only one film, "Ace Agent", failed at the box office.
In these respects, the absolute heroine of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is not impossible to consider.
Scarlett Johansson thought about it for a while and decided to talk to her agent.
In the office, Ronan called Eric Newman to communicate the preparations of the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead", and once again emphasized the importance of highlighting the heroine, and striving to make it a big heroine movie that is in line with the current social development situation.
After careful consideration, Ronan felt that Scarlett Johansson playing the leading role was also a good choice, not only as an excellent vase, but also relatively good in her own acting skills among the younger generation of actresses.
And then there's something to add to it.
Think about it, the picture of Scarlett Johansson being chased by zombies is quite emotional.
A group of tough male zombies, chasing and shouting to take Scarlett Johansson in bath water to drink, Scarlett Johansson shook two small short legs and ran wildly, and her plump chest shook up and down......
Maybe some male fans will have nosebleeds.
Zombies and sexy blondes are a perfect match.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Scarlett Johansson's side made a decision very quickly, and after getting off work that night, Scarlett Johansson came to the future world manor and expressed her willingness to take over the heroine of "Dawn of the Living Dead", and enthusiastically expressed her gratitude to Ronan.
As for Ronan, the enthusiastic thanks to Scarlett Johansson are, of course, taken as they are.
However, Scarlett Johansson is still considering Michael Bay's sci-fi project with DreamWorks, and no decision has yet been made on whether to pick up the heroine.
Ronan knows very well that with the actual situation of Scarlett Johansson today, the decision to turn off this role is very difficult to make, and the heroine of a top commercial production with a budget of more than 100 million dollars is not available to any actress.
Even, most actresses won't even have the opportunity to fight for it.
In the next two days, Ronan took time to audition for Scarlett Johansson, and after the crew confirmed her as the heroine, he also found Eric Newman to talk to Zack Snyder.
Especially about the heroine's role, Ronan has some ideas.
