As early as 1996, the game "Life and Death Fight" has been released, and the generation that grew up playing arcade machines is very familiar with "Life and Death Fight" and has a certain nostalgia complex.

"Life and Death Fight" even became a WCG project for esports for a while.

These are the basis for adapting movies.

As for the famous milk shake as a selling point of the game, it can also become a selling point of the movie adaptation.

Someone once said that in the game "Life and Death Fight", the most eye-catching game element is the "milk shake" design.

These have provided countless assets for various web game advertisements on the other side of the Pacific.

Uwe Bauer's film adaptation is sure to evolve with the purpose of sexiness and violence.

The difficult body movement of nipple shaking will also be reflected in the movie, which has a very high lethality against the house.

The production budget for "Life and Death Fight" is as high as $7 million, which is also the highest since Uwe Ball directed.

This is also determined by the market.

Uwe Bauer's first two films, "House of the Dead" and "Dungeon Siege," collectively brought tens of millions of dollars in profits to Relativity Entertainment both online and offline.

"Vampire Lane", which has been fully filmed and produced, will also be released this year, and Uwe Ball is using his popularity and Netflix sharing to vigorously promote the promotion of the film.

After the Iron Fist Town movie review, Uwe Bauer has always been an Internet celebrity, and with the promotion of Relativity Entertainment's investment of resources behind it, Brother Bao can be said to be a veritable Internet celebrity director.

To exaggerate it, Brother Bao can be called the first Internet celebrity director.

The world has changed since the widespread use of the Internet, and many people and things that were scolded in the past can attract the attention of countless people, and some people are willing to become their fans.

The online economy of the entertainment industry is also moving forward step by step.

Ronan occasionally thought of Brother Bao and had a guess, under the influence of his wings, will Hollywood also have that kind of super-traffic star?

We'll have to wait and see.

After communicating with Uwe Ball about "Life and Death Fight", Ronan was about to leave when he met an acquaintance among the actors waiting for the audition.

Uwe Bauer is ready to use model-type actors for the main female roles, and most of the actors waiting for auditions have experience in modeling or professional modeling.

Candace Swanepel is one of them.

As soon as she came out of the audition room, still thinking about her performance in her first audition, she saw Ronan.

Compared to many bold actresses, Candace Swanepel has just entered the industry and appears very reserved and cautious, just smiling at Ronan's side.

Ronan waited until she came over and greeted, "Hello, Candace, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Candace Swanepel smiled reservedly and spoke softly: "Hello, Ronan. ”

This is not the place to talk, and many people have looked at it.

Ronan walked out first, and Candace Swanepel glanced back at where the agent was and followed Ronan forward.

"You're here for the audition?" Ronan asked.

Candace Swanepel whispered as she walked: "The agent saw the recruitment announcement for the crew and thought I could come and try it. She sped up a little to catch up with Ronan and explained: "I'm in an acting class, I have a little acting experience in South Africa before, and I can't play too complex roles for the time being, so my agent suggested that I start with the simplest roles and gain some experience." ”

Ronan knows very well that compared to the roles in most Hollywood movies, the roles of "Life and Death Fight" are indeed much simpler to play.

"Your agent is professional. Ronan also felt that the agent's advice to Candace Swanepel was very reliable: "You are not very old and inexperienced, so you can't rush. ”

Candace Swanepel laughed, her smile still reserved: "That's what I thought, too. ”

Ronan thought of the action characters and asked, "Take the liberty of asking, Candace, how old are you?"

Candace Swanepel hesitated for a moment, subconsciously thinking that age might have something to do with the audition, and finally said, "I'm seventeen." ”

Ronan cautioned: "With actors under the age of sixteen, there will be a lot of restrictions on Hollywood crews. ”

According to the rules of the industry, actors under the age of 16 are completely within the scope of child actors, and the crew must hire special teachers to ensure the learning and education of actors.

Although the legal age of majority is 21 years old, actors after the age of 16 no longer enjoy many of the benefits of child actors in Hollywood.

Candace Swanepel has a good image, and Ronan thinks it could be tried, asking, "I heard that a lot of models have boxing training in their fitness routines?"

"Yes. Candace Swanepel understands the importance of this aspect for auditions, even if she is subtle, and can't help but accentuate it a little: "Boxing training has always been part of my fitness routine. ”

The studio was not far from the main entrance of the set, and the two approached the gate of the set as they spoke.

Ronan didn't mention the audition, asking, "How did you get here?"

Candace Swanepel pointed to the back: "My agent drove me here." ”

Ronan glanced back, only to see that a middle-aged woman had been following his bodyguards.

"That'...... There will be a chance to talk again. Ronan shook hands with Candace Swanepel and said goodbye: "Say hello to Sally for me." ”

Candace Swanepel nodded: "Okay. ”

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove up, Ronan opened the door and got into the car, and Candace Swanepel waved at him.

Watching the car go away, the agent who followed behind came over and asked, "Do you know Ronan Anderson?"

Candace Swanepel told the truth: "I've seen him twice with Sally. ”

The agent nodded slightly, Candace Swanepel was originally a client introduced to her by Charlize Theron, and of course she knew that Charlize Theron had worked with Relativity Entertainment and maintained a certain relationship.

I asked. The agent pulled Candace Swanepel towards a Ford: "You auditioned okay and met the basic requirements." ”

Candace Swanepel smiled less reservedly and said happily, "Really?"

The agent reminded: "Don't be too happy, at least fifty actors will enter the second audition." ”

Candace Swanepel was unfazed: "I'm satisfied to be in the second audition. ”

"If you can't get a role, how many first auditions can you pass, the results are zero!" The agent emphasized: "The goal of our audition is to get the role." ”

She looked at Candace Swanepour: "If Ronan Anderson could say something for you......"

Candace Swanepel is just inexperienced, but not stupid: "I really don't know him well. ”

The agent sighed, remembering Candace Swanepoel's age, endured some words, and said, "You go and ask Charlize to help you say something." ”

Charlize Theron took a lot of care of her, and Candace Swanepel didn't want to bother her anymore: "It's not good. ”

The agent said to the girl, who was still a little naïve: "Candace, the hardest thing in Hollywood is this first step." Do you know how many dreams want you like this? A phone call from Charlize and a few words can withstand three or even five years of hard work for many people. ”

Candace Swanepel was silent, pondering her agent's words.

"Charlize has worked with Relativity Entertainment, and Ronan has always admired Charlize. The agent added: "It's not difficult for Charlize at all. You owe Charlize a favor, and if you can have a good development in the future, you can also repay Charlize. ”

She is very good at grasping the psychology of the little girl: "Candace, you came to the United States from South Africa, how much do you owe Charlize during this period? Have you considered it? How will you pay off this favor in the future?"

Candace Swanepel thought of what she saw and heard when she followed Charlize Theron, who was an Oscar-winning actress and a national treasure in South Africa, what did she take to return Charlize Theron's favor?

The agent took advantage of the situation and said: "If you can develop, it will be different, and you can also help Charlize. ”

Candace Swanepel was finally moved by the words, picked up the phone and dialed Charlize Theron's number.

No sooner had Ronan returned to the Relativity Mansion than he received a call from Charlize Theron, mentioning Candace Swaneple's audition.

Ronan didn't take this kind of casual villain to heart, and called Uwe Bauer to ask Candace Swanepel about the audition, and after learning that she met the basic requirements, asked the crew to give her a suitable role.

Originally, Ronan had considered this, and Charlize Theron called again, a small role that didn't play a big role.

Ronan certainly wouldn't give a rookie actress the lead role before she had any formal filming experience.

In the past, the so-called rookie actors used by Relativity Entertainment referred to newcomers in reputation, that is, actors who have not really become popular.

But when it comes to acting experience, these people have basically been in Hollywood for many years.

Even if you are less qualified, like Jessica Chastain, she has been at the bottom of Hollywood for more than a year.

Halfway through March, "The Devil Wears Prada," which was released the month before, easily crossed the $100 million threshold at the North American box office after five weeks of screening, reaching $116.89 million.

The film's North American box office is highly likely to surpass $150 million.

Overseas, "The Demon Wears Prada" is also extremely popular, with a total of $81.2 million at the overseas box office.

After a month of screenings, the film's popularity in North America waned, and Embassy Pictures took advantage of the situation to launch a new film, "Hellboy" directed by Guillermo del Toro.
