As a result of their collaboration on The Da Vinci Code and Mamma Mia, Ronan attended a Tom Hanks party where he met Spielberg.

"I heard that the Iron Man project is looking for the right actress?"

has dealt with many times, and has the cooperation of Artisan Pictures, Spielberg and Ronan are also very familiar, and the two sides are loose offensive and defensive alliances, so Spielberg spoke a little directly: "I have a candidate on my side." ”

Ronan wanted to give Spielberg a proper face, and said: "Let her agent contact Kevin Feige, and I will greet him and arrange an audition." ”

He said to Connie, who was following him, "Remember to give Kevin Feige a call. ”

The ordinary-looking female assistant nodded slightly.

But Spielberg's words did not end there, and said: "It's one of my goddaughters, the development has not been smooth in the past few years, and I need an opportunity, and I don't have a suitable role on my side for the time being." ”

It is well known that Spielberg had a large number of goddaughters and godsons, and was known to take care of them.

Of course, Ronan understood what Spielberg meant, but he didn't want to give more preferential treatment, and deliberately asked: "Steven, you can't be talking about Drew Barrymore, right? I remember that she did well in the production industry, and Flower Pictures invested successfully one after another." ”

Spielberg was a little helpless, but his heart was really good in Hollywood, and he immediately said: "It's not Drew, it's Gwyneth Paltrow." ”

Sure enough, the name didn't surprise Ronan at all.

used to be a little pepper, who was able to get so many resources in the early stage, and when the development was not going well in the later stage, he could catch the car of Marvel Superhero, and the network behind him definitely played an important role.

Ronan has a bad impression of Gwyneth Paltrow, who is the most famous princess patient in Hollywood.

"Miss Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actress. Ronan politely refused: "To be honest, this heroine is actually just a supporting actress, with very few scenes, not compatible with Miss Paltrow, and the salary is extremely low, with a budget of only $50,000 to $100,000." ”

Saying this, Spielberg's interest instantly diminished, after all, he knew that Gwyneth Paltrow was a very proud person and might not be able to look down on such a small role.

Ronan changed the topic at the right time: "How is the integration of distribution channels?"

"It's basically done. Spielberg's attention also returned to DreamWorks: "There were some difficulties in the middle, you know, some people decided that DreamWorks was a threat. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "They also see relativity entertainment as a threat. ”

Spielberg added, "So, we're going to work closely together against those people. ”

Ronan nodded slowly, thinking of the plan agreed with Robert Iger, and said: "Steven, it's not enough for us to be passive on defense, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment must find a suitable time to launch a sharp counterattack against one of them, and tell Hollywood and even the entire business circle that we not only have the strength to protect ourselves, but also to fight the enemy." ”

Spielberg nodded first, then shook his head: "DreamWorks has just stabilized a little, and it is currently lacking in strength. ”

Ronan gradually put the dialogue on the track he wanted: "So, we have to work closely together. ”

Hearing what he had just said, Spielberg's eyes condensed slightly, and he asked, "It's not easy to find opportunities." ”

Ronan didn't say anything explicitly, but asked, "Steven, what do you think of the recent succession of personnel changes and internal confrontations at Walt Disney?"

"Walt Disney?" Spielberg pushed down his glasses, "They do have a lot of trouble." ”

Ronan smiled, "Maybe they'll have more trouble in the future." ”

Spielberg said, "I hope Paramount Pictures will be in trouble." Of course, it's not a bad thing that Disney has more trouble. ”

Ronan whispered, "DreamWorks has integrated distribution channels, and Paramount Pictures can't swallow you." ”

Spielberg understood the key and said, "Paramount Pictures won't have another chance." ”

Ronan glanced at Tom Hanks, who was not far away, and suggested, "Steven, let's find a place to talk." ”

Spielberg nodded, "I'll borrow a break room from Tom." ”

The two greeted Tom Hanks and quickly went to the second floor, and when they came out again, it was already more than half an hour later.

Ronan and Spielberg did not contact the others again, and after saying goodbye to Tom Hanks, they left directly.

Although DreamWorks has not developed smoothly in the past two years, and has encountered a series of difficulties, even David Geffen has left the DreamWorks system with music and other departments, but the company's confidence is also incomparable to ordinary small and medium-sized companies, and in general, the basic strength is still there.

Moreover, after spending a huge amount of money to obtain the distribution channel of Artisan Pictures from Relativity Entertainment, DreamWorks has attracted new investment, and Spielberg's former ambition has gradually returned.

Relativity Entertainment and DreamWorks have contradictions, but the contradictions are currently under control, and the common enemies of both sides are enough to suppress the contradictions.

In fact, Ronan knows very well that at this point, without DreamWorks, the situation of Relativity Entertainment would never be as easy as it is now.

After all, no matter how DreamWorks looks at it, it is better than Relativity Entertainment.

Similarly, without Relativistic Entertainment, DreamWorks would face much more pressure.

Ronan also hopes that at some point, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment will stand together and cut some cake from one of the six major companies.

Of course, he won't let his guard down on DreamWorks either.

Spielberg is a good man, and on a personal level, even one of Hollywood's best-hearted people.

But no matter how good a good person is, when he becomes the spokesperson for the interests of many capitals, he will also have a fierce side.

Even if Spielberg doesn't do it, the power of capital will push him to do it, and if he doesn't do it, capital will inevitably replace a new spokesperson for interests in a company with a complex shareholding structure like DreamWorks.

In the next few days, for Spielberg's sake, the crew of "Iron Man" sent Gwyneth Paltrow an invitation to audition for Pepper, but not surprisingly, after Gwyneth Paltrow's initial audition, the crew and the actor both chose to refuse.

The crew was not too happy with the image of Gwyneth Paltrow, believing that it did not meet the requirements of the vase.

Gwyneth Paltrow was also unhappy with the role's role and pay.

For star actors, the crew and role are often a two-way choice.

Most of the really popular actors are not very interested in the role of Little Pepper, especially when the long-term contract and salary are in front of them.

But Ronan received a call from Milla Jovovich, who actually expressed her intention to play the role.

Two consecutive "Resident Evil" successes, Alice achieved Milla Jovovich and also limited Milla Jovovich.

Presumably, Milla Jovovich or her agent also saw this problem and wanted to create an acting career other than Alice.

Ronan didn't respond specifically, leaving it to Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau, who were leading the audition, to make the choice.

However, Kevin Feige passed him a list of actress auditions, and there were many familiar names in the list.

These people are not actors, but supermodels.

For example, Victoria's Secret's leading model, Heidi Krum.

Although the super models are paid very low for starring in movies, they also have a certain popularity and popularity, but they will not be the first choice of the crew.

Acting skills are still a basic consideration, and if the basic acting skills are passed, then there is no problem.

Ronan didn't want to interfere in the audition for the heroine of "Iron Man", but the appearance of one person made him change his mind.

"Hello, Uncle Anderson. ”

Appearing in the reception room was a girl under the age of twenty: "Remember me?"

Ronan shook her hand and said, "Hello, Ketty, it's not the first time we've met. He deliberately said, "Let's call me Ronan, let's leave your father's side alone, and we will talk about each other." ”

This is a very tall girl, according to the metric system, it is definitely more than 1.75 meters, not particularly beautiful, but the temperament is elegant and introverted, with the most common brown hair of Western women, a slightly tough face, always with a hint of a smile, and a good tutor is shown in her gestures.

Korti Horn, who previously worked with Relativity Entertainment, played a supporting role in Mean Girls. 、

On the one hand, he was able to get this role because of his good ability, and on the other hand, because he had a good father - Alan Horn, the president of Warner Bros. Pictures.

A few years ago, Coti Horn also showed Ronan the script she wrote, and Ronan exchanged some views on the script and characters with Coti Horn in the former office of Relativity Entertainment because of Alan Horn's relationship.

The girl made a deep impression on Ronan at the time, and Kotti Horn was interested in acting, but didn't want to bother her father's work.

It's rare to see a young girl like this in Hollywood.

Some girls from wealthy families who are interested in fame and acting careers are more likely to be the type of Paris Hilton or Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ronan still remembers that Coti Horn, who was like a high school student at the time, said seriously: I can't let my little thing affect my father's work.

It's really rare.

So, Ronan has always had a good impression of Coti Horn.

"You're looking for me?" Ronan looked at Kotty Horn.

Perhaps because of the natural developmental aspects of Caucasians, Kotty Horn seems to be much more mature than it was a few years ago.

However, she feels as good as ever.

Kotti Horn's long brown hair is tied in a simple ponytail, and she wears a simple gray body-tight shirt on her upper body, slim cropped pants on her lower body, and because of her tall stature, her legs still stand out even when she is not wearing high heels

Even though it's not a very pretty type, it's still very temperamental.
