Three days later, Ronan signed a formal contract with Christian Bale on behalf of the Pirates of the Caribbean crew.

The signing took place in the office building of Warner Studios, and the media was not invited to attend, and the crew just made an announcement on the official blog.

Compared to Johnny Depp, Christian Bale is much less famous, and correspondingly, the salary is also low.

Christian Bale also signed a trilogy contract with the crew, with the first installment being paid $1 million.

In the office, after the two sides signed the contract, Ronan shook hands with Christian Bale: "Happy cooperation. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Christian Bale shook Ronan's hand hard.

Ronan said directly: "I hope you can join the crew this week." ”

Christian Bale said: "No problem. ”

Ronan saw off Christian Bale and his agent Patrick Whitesel, returned to the office, and saw the weight gain and muscle gain plan developed by the crew's nutritionist and fitness therapist based on Christian Bale's physical condition.

As we all know, sudden weight loss and sudden weight loss can hurt the body, and a scientific plan must be formulated.

According to the dietitian, Christian Bale's stomach has atrophied a bit because of the filming of "American Psycho" to control her weight, and she needs to adjust her diet as soon as possible.

Once on the set, Christian Bale was required to eat five meals a day, and the food was dominated by high-calorie foods such as pizza and ice cream.

For most people, gaining weight first and then building muscles is definitely a very painful process.

Ronan spoke to Christian Bale about this before signing and said he was eager to challenge himself to see if he could do it, and he was immersed in the process.

Ronan believes Christian Bale can do it.

In his previous life, because of the "Batman" trilogy, he had seen news reports on this side.

At that time, Bell took over the filming of "The Mechanic", and the role in the play required "to look like he hadn't slept for a year", relying on hunger and a lot of physical exertion, Bell lost 63 pounds in 2 weeks, and he originally planned to lose 100 pounds, but the doctor warned him that if he lost weight any longer, he might die young, and Bell stopped the terrible body shaping training.

As a superhero without superpowers, Batman needs to keep his physical fitness at his peak at all times, which means that in the shortest possible time, Bale will transform from a weak sick man to a muscular superhero......

As for the results, anyone who has watched "Batman" knows it.

That afternoon, the agent of a small company contacted by Brian Lord came to Warner Studios with dozens of ordinary actors, and Ronan took the time to see it for himself, and was extremely satisfied with the efficiency of CAA.

The appearance is strange, and the makeup and styling during the shooting are absolutely unforgettable.

Pirates who stay at sea all year round must be dirty and smelly.

With a delicate appearance and white and delicate skin, is it still called a pirate?

Ronan deliberately arranged for the styling department to let some of them audition with makeup, and the effect was quite good.

These people not only have outstanding appearances, but also have prosperous beauty, most of them have been in Hollywood for many years, and their acting skills are also good.

Ronan arranged for an associate producer to talk to the other party about the collaboration, and as a pirate actor on the Black Pearl, he also asked them to sign a trilogy contract.

In this way, a very characteristic group of pirates will be guaranteed.

However, the skin of these actors is still too white and delicate.

Ronan had already come up with a good idea, and when the contracts were signed and the actors were ready, they would go around the studio's huge sandstone open-air set, and it had to be under the sun.

Exposure to the sun for several months is guaranteed to darken and roughen their skin.

Also, you can say hello to Gore Verbinsky, and during the shooting, the actors' costumes are worn in the sun on the open-air set for three days, and no one is allowed to take them off or wash them, and all the actors are not allowed to take a shower during these three days.

Make sure that all of them are stinky.

Like this typical first-line costume production, it must conform to the background of that era.

In the era of piracy in the Caribbean, it was difficult to take a shower every day, take a bath every day, shave and blow your hair, was that still a pirate? Who could expect a group of pirate outlaws to laugh with eight teeth and shiny white?

It's not just about clothes, it's about styling.

The stylist had already submitted a plan and report to Ronan, and the pirate makeup was not to cover the flaws on the face, let alone smooth and white skin, but to highlight the rough and tough lines, showing the most masculine and wild beauty that men should have.

The reason why Hollywood movies do this is actually consistent with the aesthetics of society as a whole, Ronan read in a very famous book on film styling, saying that until now, the aesthetic of Westerners is still the worship of wild and primitive charm in the atmosphere of the industrial age.

In other words, the mainstream of society still likes the wild beauty of those muscles.

In fact, it can also be seen from the situation of Hollywood first-line stars, whether male or female, rough types occupy the vast majority, and there are very few exquisite and beautiful ones.

At the end of a busy day, Ronan left the office and walked down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, ready to go to the studio again, but met a very familiar person in the lobby.

This person is about thirty years old, his golden brown hair is combed into a large part, and his hairstyle looks a bit like Liu Kuisheng at first glance.

Ronan's gaze fell on the other party, who also noticed him.

Since they met, Ronan took the initiative to walk over and asked, "Are you director Christopher Nolan?"

"I am. Christopher Nolan didn't know Ronan and looked at this side suspiciously: "Excuse me, ...... are you?"

Ronan introduces himself: "Ronan Anderson, a producer. ”

Christopher Nolan was instantly moved, and hurriedly said, "Hello, Mr. Anderson. I've seen "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" and "The Human Removal Project" that you made. ”

Ronan shook hands with Christopher Nolan and said, "I've also seen your Memory Fragments." ”

Christopher Nolan said: "It's an honor for me. He looked at Ronan, "I didn't expect Mr. Anderson to be so young. ”

Ronan smiled: "Director Nolan is also young and promising. ”

At the age of his early thirties, he can direct and shoot theatrical movies, which is definitely worthy of this praise.

Christopher Nolan had heard of Ronan and modestly said, "It's not as good as Mr. Anderson." ”

There were not many people in the hall, the two stood near the door, chatted for a while, Ronan said: ""Fragments of Memory" left a very deep impression on me, the narrative technique in it is a stroke of genius, after watching the film, I have always wanted to get to know Director Nolan, but I didn't expect to meet here today. ”

Christopher Nolan thought of Ronan's identity as a producer and studio owner and said with a smile: "I'll be at Warner Studios lately, and we'll probably meet more often in the future." ”

Ronan duly asked, "You're busy working in the studio, new film project?"

Christopher Nolan replied, "Busy with the late stages of a new movie. ”

Ronan asked tentatively, "Do you know what the project is?"

Christopher Nolan thought about it for a moment and said, "A suspense film about a homicide in Alaska, based on an old Norwegian movie. ”

Ronan has watched all of Christopher Nolan's films, and when he heard him say this, he immediately guessed that it should be "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" based on the old Norwegian film "Insomnia".

"When will it be finished?" Ronan said deliberately, "I hope to see this film sooner." ”

Christopher Nolan was able to get such a lot of support from Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. in his previous life, in addition to his own talent, he was also a person, and immediately said to Ronan: "When the audition for the film is completed, Mr. Anderson is welcome to participate. ”

Ronan responded, "I'll be there." ”

Christopher Nolan hurriedly asked, "...... your contact information?"

Ronan pulled out his business card, handed it to Christopher Nolan, and said, "This is my personal phone. ”

Christopher Nolan solemnly put it away, and also handed Ronan a copy of his personal business card, and said, "I'll let you know when the film is finished." ”

Ronan nodded lightly and said, "Director Nolan, I like the style you expressed in "Memory Fragments" very much, and I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future." ”

Christopher Nolan said very politely: "I also hope to work with Mr. Anderson. ”

Having said that, Ronan basically achieved his goal, and before saying goodbye and leaving, he said again: "Director Nolan, when you encounter difficulties or insufficient funds for your future film projects, you can call me at any time." ”

There are many film companies and many roads, and Christopher Nolan, who is still a small director, attaches great importance to Ronan's words and says: "I will." Thank you, Mr. Anderson, for your kindness. ”

His talent is full of talent, and if he wants to turn it into an image on the big screen, he needs a lot of money and the full support of the film company.

Christopher Nolan knows very well that getting to know such a wealthy studio owner will not hurt his future career.

Ronan smiled and nodded, said a few more polite words, and took the lead in leaving the studio office building.

It was a surprise to meet Christopher Nolan here.

In his previous life, Christopher Nolan's most important partners were undoubtedly Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., Warner Bros. cannot be compared for the time being, but Legendary Pictures ......

Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a top commercial film director, and in Hollywood, where adaptations and continuations are styled, he has even become the last banner of original big-budget films.

If we can establish a stable cooperative relationship with Christopher Nolan, it will help Shahai Entertainment a lot.
