Chapter 711: Comradeship
The closer you get to the set, the clearer the engine roar becomes, and Ronan doesn't know much about the car, but secretly guesses that it seems to be a V8 engine.
In this car country, displacement is king.
Large-displacement pickup trucks, muscle cars, and SUVs have always been in the market.
The infrastructure of the United States is very poor, and it cannot be compared with the other side of the Pacific Ocean, bad roads abound, and how uncomfortable it is for small displacement cars to walk, who drives who knows.
Justin Lin said at this time: "The crew is testing the car and designing relevant action scenes according to the vehicle. ”
Approaching the open-air set, Ronan saw a black Mustang gallop by, and after a beautiful flick of its tail, it stopped not far ahead.
The door opened, and a tall white man with short to medium hair got out of the driver's seat.
Ronan recognized him, the male lead of the first two films, Paul Walker.
The co-pilot got down, but it was a stuntman.
Standing on the periphery of the open-air set, Ronan didn't mean to go over, and said to Justin Lin next to him: "The safety measures of the crew must be done well, and the drag racing scenes should be completed by the stuntmen as much as possible, and the leading actors should not be allowed to take risks." ”
Justin Lin nodded, "I understand." ”
Stuntmen can find a bunch of them, and if the actors are injured, it will affect the normal filming of the crew.
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Limit the actor's drag racing at work to avoid unexpected situations in the crew." ”
"I'm going to give them a meeting today. Justin Lin can see that Ronan takes safety very seriously: "Again, safety. ”
Ronan said, "Safety is no small matter. ”
Standing on the periphery of the open-air set, watching the action scene design of the crew again, and chatting with Justin Lin about the shooting, Ronan received a call from Jessica Filton from Europe.
The commercial department of the crew has pulled in several manufacturers in Europe who are interested in sponsoring and advertising, and the negotiations are about the same, and the last few procedures need to be signed by Jessica Felton, the producer, in person.
At present, the crew has signed contracts with five manufacturers, with various resources, with a total sponsorship of more than 7 million US dollars.
Jessica Filton hopes to get $10 million in sponsorship before filming begins.
This kind of commercial popcorn movie set in modern society, if it reaches a certain market popularity, it is possible for a single film to reach $30 million in terms of funding.
For example, the "Transformers" series has not yet begun preparation, and Shahai Entertainment and George Clint have begun to contact advertisers.
It's a pity that the volume of the film market on the other side of the Pacific is still relatively limited, otherwise Optimus Prime would have nothing to drink, Megatron would gnaw on the duck's neck, and the tightrope would have turned over a hill from Wulong to Hong Kong City.
None of that matters.
The "Transformers" series, how much money did you earn from advertising alone?
Michael Bay is really a big business director......
There was once a rumor on the Internet that Michael Bay had another very valuable thing in his hands when he was filming the "Transformers" series.
It is said that when Megan Fox participated in the audition, there was an audition process that was conducted alone with Michael Bay, who filmed the whole audition process and then kept it secretly.
After the news broke, Michael Bay repeatedly denied it, saying that there was no such audition video at all.
It is difficult to judge whether it is true or not, because the news was leaked by Shia LaBeouf, and after drinking and eating laundry detergent, no one can guarantee that he is not talking nonsense.
If there was ever such a video, if it was sold to San Fernando, it was estimated that it would sell for a sky-high price.
The sun turns to the west, and Ronan leaves the open-air set, ready to go home from work.
When passing by the audition studio, I saw a somewhat familiar figure, a young woman with long straight black hair that fell down from her waist, and she also spotted Ronan.
"Hi. She took the initiative to come over: "Good afternoon, Ronan. ”
"Hello, Gianna. Ronan smiled and nodded.
It is always pleasant to face a girl who is both beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.
Ronan looked at Gianna-Quan, unabashedly admiring her eyes.
The two have applauded their love many times, and Gianna is all from the Korean entertainment industry, so she is not embarrassed at all, but straightens up and shows her beautiful curves to the person opposite.
Gianna is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with an open button at the neckline, the neckline is turned up, very stylish, the skin around the neck is fair and crystalline, the concave collarbone line, the curves are charming, and the figure is bumpy and convex, which is very material.
The lace hip skirt below is gorgeous and colorful, very public, color-block design, a variety of colors are intertwined, constituting a wonderful pattern of clothes, the tight-fitting hip wrapping design, outlining the full hip curve, and the waist, back, forming a good-looking S-shaped curve, very charming.
The hem of the skirt is not long, and a pair of proud long legs make the whole person look particularly tall and sexy.
Compared to when they first met two years ago, Gianna is more mature and charming.
Seeing Ronan's gaze sweeping over him, Gianna-Quan stepped forward and shook Ronan's hand generously: "I didn't expect to see you here." ”
Ronan shook her hand, "Your English has improved a lot. ”
Now Gianna-full of English, almost inaudible Korean accent.
Gianna-Quan said with a smile: "I have been practicing for the past two years, English is the foundation of my life, and I can't find a job if I don't practice well." ”
Ronan nodded and asked, "Are you going to leave?" and he invited, "Together?"
Gianna-Quan saw the crew coming in and out of the studio, and stepped forward to hold Ronan's arm without any obstacles: "It's been a long time since I've been chatting with you." ”
The two walked towards the parking lot together, and Ronan casually asked, "Why are you here?"
Gianna-Quan took Ronan's arm and said as she walked, "Come to the audition." ”
Ronan understood: "That Asian female supporting character?"
"yes. Gianna Quan said: "There are very few roles in Hollywood that are suitable for Asian actors, and there are basically no leading roles, and it is very rare to have such a female main supporting role. ”
Ronan said, "You should call me." ”
Gianna didn't hide it: "Today is just the first audition, if you can't even pass the first audition......" she smiled: "I want to wait for the next audition to call you, the first audition can't pass, I'm embarrassed to call you,"
She leaned into Ronan's ear: "Of course, the best resources should be reserved for the most critical moments. ”
As an actress from the Korean entertainment industry, Gianna-Quan is not so repulsive about certain things at all.
Entering the parking lot, Ronan invites her to get in the car, and Gianna is all in his Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Ronan asked her, "Where do you want to go?"
Gianna Quan is very direct: "I'll go wherever you go." ”
Ronan groaned for a moment and said to the driver, David, "Back to Beverly Hills." ”
The car drove out of the parking lot and out of the Hughes Aircraft Factory, and David took the initiative to raise the front and rear fenders.
Gianna-Quan's hand kept reaching over and holding Ronan's hand: "I don't think I've been to your house yet." ”
"You can come back more often in the future. Ronan gently squeezed her hand: "I'm always welcome." ”
Gianna-Quan asked, "You haven't been to Korea in two years?"
Ronan replied casually: "I'm too busy at work to have time. ”
Gianna-Quan smiled and said, "I went back to Seoul last month and met two comrades-in-arms, and they miss you very much. ”
Ronan couldn't help but think of the absurdity of going to Korea a few years ago, and said, "Gianna, I'm very satisfied that you can come often." ”
Although young but well-informed, Gianna Quan didn't believe in this kind of words at all, and once again leaned into Ronan's ear: "I will come whenever you want." Ronan, let me know if you need to, I can bring people from Korea, there are a lot of girls over there who want to come here, and they're willing to give everything for it. ”
Ronan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really?"
Gianna Quan said naturally: "Compared with the Korean entertainment industry, Hollywood is more friendly to actors, as long as they join the union, the rights and interests of actors can be greatly protected, and the ecological environment of the entertainment industry here is much better than that of South Korea." Compared with Hollywood's agency system, the first agency contract of a Korean actor was simply a slave contract. ”
Ronan has some understanding of the Korean entertainment industry and said: "You developed in Hollywood, and the situation will be different after you go back. ”
Gianna-quan nodded: "yes, don't look at me only starring in the supporting actress of the "Anatomy Grey" series here, but I am also an international superstar when I go back." ”
Speaking of this, she herself laughed first: "You don't know, how many actresses in South Korea envy me, that Alice Song, who fought with me, regrets very much that she didn't come to Hollywood to develop." ”
Ronan said, "So, Gianna, you're the smartest. Reaching out and gently pinching her face: "I like smart girls the most." ”
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom enters Beverly Hills and soon returns to the Eternalworld Manor, where Ronan calls the butler Nikia in advance and asks the chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
As long as you replenish enough energy, you will have the strength to fight.
If you want to go international, of course, you won't care about stripping and electricity leakage.
The Korean entertainment industry doesn't care about these either.
There have been more than 30 wonderful movies as evidence.
Just like a foodie, it's a pleasure to switch styles between East and West.
For foodies like Ronan, it's a night of freewheeling and enjoying your food.
Both men have young, healthy, and toned bodies that are good enough to carry a great fight.
When Ronan sent Gianna-Quan to the agency the next day, he left her private contact information, and recently she has eaten more Western food, and it is not bad to change the appetite for oriental food.
As for Gianna-Quan's words about bringing people from the Korean entertainment industry, Ronan hasn't gone crazy to that extent.
Subsequently, he called Justin Lin and asked him to focus on Gianna Quan's audition, as long as her audition effect is above the minimum required line, the new Asian female role in "Fast and Furious 3" will belong to her.
For this kind of role, it doesn't make much difference which actor is used.
