Chapter 825: The Pillar Abused Me a Hundred Times

It was a rather foreign country, and Candace Swanepel thought about it for a long time, and she couldn't think of any other Indian food other than curry.

Oh yes, it's said there are no bathrooms there.

It's kind of scary.

Candace Swanepel thought of Michael Bay and suddenly had an understanding of what good food was.

"Are you going to India?" Candace Swanepel hesitated a little to make a decision immediately, and immediately bought a little time to think by asking questions.

If she were two years older and would stay in Hollywood for another two years, Candace Swanepel would never hesitate.

But she is now less than eighteen years old after all, even if she has made rapid progress and transformation in the past year, and has done a good job in the relevant psychological construction, she still has to think carefully.

Ronan didn't rush either, it was just an offer, Candace Swanepel was willing to go, he would give him a warm welcome, and if he didn't want to go, he wouldn't force it.

"It's a bit of business to take care of. Ronan smiled and said, "By the way, give yourself a few days off." ”

Actually, there was business to attend to, and he was going to meet people secretly in Mumbai, but he wouldn't say that even if Candace Swanepel went, he wouldn't let her see it.

Steve Jobs finally gave Ronan a clear answer, and was ready to communicate with Ronan King vs. King, Robert Iger and John Lasseter, and the meeting between the two was best kept secret to facilitate the next operation.

In this way, it is not appropriate to meet in either Los Angeles or San Francisco, after all, Ronan and Jobs are in the spotlight.

So, Ronan took Steve Jobs' advice and chose to meet in India, but Mumbai was Ronan's choice.

As for inviting Candace Swanepel to India, Ronan has his considerations.

India has very lax laws in some areas, the laws of the United States and California are not efficient there, and Candace Swanepel is not an American.

Candace Swanepel asked curiously, "Is India fun? I've never been to it before." ”

Ronan thought for a while and said: "I am more familiar with Mumbai, where the culture and scenery are very different from the West, and Mumbai also has Bollywood, a film industry base with an annual film output of more than Hollywood. ”

I vaguely remember that when Priyanka Chopra took him on a tour of Bollywood, he saw some crew shooting, and he really danced without saying a word.

Candace Swaneple said: "I've heard about Bollywood and it's said that they shoot very fast over there. ”

Ronan nodded lightly: "The overall speed should be a notch faster than Hollywood." ”

Compared with their counterparts in Hong Kong City, even in Bollywood, filmmaking is slow.

The two chatted about Indian movies, and Ronan didn't mention going to India again, as if he hadn't said it.

But at the end of dinner, Candace Swanepel took the initiative to say, "I actually want to see different landscapes and different cultures. ”

Ronan didn't rush and didn't speak, leaving Candace Swanepel to make her own decisions.

Candace Swanepel smiled at Ronan: "There is a lot of work during this time, I will go back to see how to adjust, can you wait for my call?"

"It's my pleasure. Ronan's words sounded good.

Candace Swanepel took out her phone and glanced at the time, and said, "It's almost time, Ronan, you go get busy." ”

Ronan said, "I'll let the driver take you." ”

"No, I don't. Candace Swanepel hurriedly excused herself: "I'll call a car back." ”

Ronan had already beckoned to Finch: "Arrange a car and send Miss Swanepel back." ”

Finch didn't speak, nodded, pulled out his phone and sent a text message.

Ronan called the waiter to settle the bill, shook hands with Candace Swanepour, and said, "Go back." ”

"Goodbye, Ronan. ”

Candace Swaneple followed Finch out of the restaurant.

Ronan entered the front hall of the Relativity Building through the side door of the restaurant, came to the Shahai Entertainment office area on the seventh floor of the building, and entered the conference room on time.

The relevant participants are already waiting here.

Connie had prepared the materials that Ronan was going to use.

This was an important meeting for the first phase of the preparation of "Transformers", and in addition to Ronan, George Clint, CEO of Shahai Entertainment, Michael Bay, project director and executive producer, Bernalson, production manager, Scott Swift of the Pacific Foundation, the financier, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, Thomas, the distribution representative of Embassy Pictures, and Hank, the project director of Industrial Light & Magic in terms of special effects cooperation, were all in attendance.

Chaired by George Clint, the conference began with a series of announcements about preparation, filming, and distribution.

With a tentative budget of $180 million for the production of "Transformers", all funds will be raised by the Pacific Foundation, the film will begin shooting in December, move to post-production in March next year, and be released in the summer of 2007, with Embassy Pictures responsible for marketing and global distribution.

In addition, Hasbro will cooperate with the progress of the film to promote the "Transformers" series around the world.

From the perspective of its own revenue, Hasbro also hopes that Transformers, one of the company's three ace toy series, can rejuvenate the eighties and nineties of the last century with the success of the movie.

Hasbro used to shoot cartoons to promote toys, and he has a lot of experience in marketing this area.

Thomas also made an announcement: "Embassy Pictures has reached an agreement with 70 distributors and advertising agencies from around the world to jointly promote Transformers. ”

Hasbro's Brian Goldner said, "Hasbro's overseas subsidiaries and licensing companies will also fully cooperate with Embassy Pictures to promote marketing and promotion. ”

Ronan nodded with satisfaction: "In addition to filming and production, publicity and marketing are also the top priority. ”

This is undoubtedly good news for film projects.

Production manager Benelson said at this time: "The crew and Netflix shared the joint Optimus Prime movie line competition, which has been participated by more than 1 million people around the world, and more than 10,000 lines have been collected, and we have selected some of them. ”

While talking, an assistant turned on the projector and put the relevant investment on the screen of the conference room.

Ronan and the others looked at it one by one, and most of the lines selected were used by Optimus Prime in the cartoon.

"I think this one is the best!" said Hasbro's Brian Goldner, "Freedom .is .the .right. of .all. sentient. beings.。 ”

Ronan nodded slowly and said, "The right to freedom belongs to all beings. ”

Brian Goldner answered: "This is the motto on one of the Optimus Prime toys, and it was the number one concept that Hasbro set for Optimus Prime in the first place. ”

"Appropriately. Ronan said: "It really reflects the character and philosophy of Optimus Prime. ”

He first said to Thomas: "I will choose this sentence for the lines, but the solicitation of lines must continue to maintain the popularity of the Internet." Then he turned to Michael Bay and said, "In the right scene, let Optimus Prime say this line himself." ”

Michael Bay thought for a moment and said, "No problem, this will also be the idea of the movie." ”

Ronan said: "A Cybertron Transformer who came to Earth to save his life for a lifetime, how can he have a reasonable reason, this is very appropriate." ”

It was with the support of this philosophy that Optimus Prime broke with the brotherly Megatron.

It is also this concept that makes Optimus Prime sacrifice the interests of Cybertron and become a robot traitor to protect humanity.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is a noble Transformer, a pure Transformer, a Transformer with ideals, a Transformer that is free from low tastes and beneficial to all mankind.

In fact, Hasbro's portrayal of Optimus Prime is very successful, and it is not simply the tall and complete image in the cartoon that only shouts "Autobots, transform, go".

Optimus Prime, a good warrior, a genius military strategist, orator, political leader, absolutely image-oriented, first-class power skills.

Once a die-hard Transformers fan, commonly known as tightrope, Ronan has seen a lot of works about Transformers, from cartoons to big movies to spin-off comics, etc., among which IDW's "Optimus Prime" personal comic left an extremely deep impression on him.

The most important point of this comic is that it tells the growth of Optimus Prime.

Initially, Optimus Prime appeared as a frustrated leader who needed to find a balance among the various factions, so he did not hesitate to use the control of the faith to achieve his own means.

At this stage, Optimus Prime has the resourcefulness and responsibility of a leader, but also has the arrogance of a leader, such as he said that "leaders always do the right thing".

And after being extremely dissatisfied with his actions, Scarlet's righteous fist and the baptism of the Great War, Optimus Prime realized that "we cannot be bound by the past, sometimes we must stand up to protect lives, but sometimes we must make concessions for the same purpose, and the role of the leader is to be able to distinguish the difference." ”

Everyone who likes Transformers actually doesn't like the ending of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

These two leaders pinned too much on the feelings of the tightropes.

Therefore, the movie is also doomed, Optimus Prime and Megatron will fall in love and kill each other.

Since it is planned as a whole series, Ronan also has a lot of ideas about the setting of the sequel, such as having Optimus Prime and Megatron temporarily join forces for a common purpose and fight side by side, as in the comics and toys.

Once Michael Bay's movie was also very interesting, not to mention the plot coherence and the second part, just looking at the first and third parts, Megatron didn't seem to have any intention of killing Optimus Prime.

Especially the third part, it shows its skills in the moment of danger for Optimus Prime......

In this regard, maybe I can also make some articles.

Add this setting to Megatron: The pillar abused me a hundred times, and I treated the pillar like my first love.

After the summary of various aspects of work and the new arrangement, the meeting quickly came to the last item, which was also the one that Ronan wanted to emphasize and correct.
