Chapter 660: There are times when prejudices are reliable
Like the previous time, Kotti Horn was very direct and said, "I heard that you bought Marvel, reorganized Marvel Entertainment, and are preparing the "Iron Man" project?"
Ronan roughly guessed what she meant: "yes." ”
Kotty Horn laughed at a pair of bunny teeth and said, "Can I get a character?"
Ronan said directly: "You are too young to be a heroine, and you are a more mature working woman in the setting." Koti, your shrewdness is suitable, but the age gap is too great. ”
"yes. Kotti Horn was not too disappointed, she played the role more out of interest, and immediately changed her mind: "What about the supporting role? Like "Mean Girl", can you find a small supporting role? No, it doesn't matter, I just thought about it." ”
Ronan didn't answer directly, but thought about it, it seems that Kotty Horn's performance in "Mean Girl" is good, according to the evaluation of Shahai Entertainment, the score can be around 70 points.
For young actresses, this is quite good, especially the kind of cameos.
Ronan thought for a while and said: "There should be a small supporting role, so let's ask the assistant to say hello to producer Kevin Feige, you go to the crew to see, what specific role, I can't directly intervene." ”
Anyway, in the "Iron Man" movie, there will be no shortage of young female characters.
There are many small roles like female reporters, flight attendants, and escort girls.
Kotti Horn was smart, did it in moderation, and didn't try too much, saying, "Thank you, Ronan. Her voice lowered slightly: "It's just that I'm here with you, I can have a good time, I really don't know how to thank you." ”
Ronan smiled and said, "You're welcome. ”
Kotty Horn said, "I'll treat you to dinner when you have time." ”
Lorna waved her hand: "You really don't have to be so polite. ”
Kotti Horn said seriously, "You have to let me say that, right?"
"Maybe I'll have you help me in the future. Ronan wasn't welcome.
"No problem. Ketty Horn is also very bold: "If there is a need for me, just say it. ”
Ronan nodded and changed the subject: "Do you still have a script?"
"I wrote a few, but I wasn't quite satisfied. Coti Horn told the truth: "After you reminded me last time, I was much more sober, writing a script is not an easy task, especially to study for a while, but I found that what I wrote was a mess, after graduating from Westlake High School, I specially entered the California Institute of the Arts for further study." ”
Ronan asked, "Are you going to go into the screenwriting side?"
Kotti Horn thought for a moment and said, "No. It's the same as acting, it's just an interest, if you like it, you do it, and if you don't want to do it, you give up. ”
With her family background, she does have such capital.
Hearing these words, Ronan couldn't help but think of the former director of "Bumblebee", and he could only say that there were some things that he really couldn't envy.
The script for "Transformers" has already begun to be written, the project will start soon, and a suitable director is needed.
Ronan considered and invited James Cameron, but James Cameron refused, and after filming and producing "Alien of the Deep", the king of the world went into the laboratory to study and perfect the new 3D shooting and production technology, completely cutting off contact with the outside world.
And then there's Michael Bay.
From a commercial point of view, Michael Bay is a perfect fit for a director who has always produced great commercial productions at a relatively low cost.
But Michael Bay's problems are well known.
There is also the director of "Bumblebee", Ronan specifically let people know, Taravis Knight has just entered the Laika animation studio, working as an assistant director and assistant producer for Tim Burton on the set of "Ghost Bride", and practical experience is better than nothing.
Taravis-Knight's dad hasn't bought Laika Animation Studios yet.
If Taravis-Knight is invited to be the director of "Transformers" at this time, the success or failure of the project is secondary, and the real problem is that if the movie fails, Taravis-Knight has to go home to inherit the tens of billions of family assets, it will be tragic......
It's sad to think about.
Ronan can't let this tragedy happen, and the tragic fate of returning home to inherit tens of billions of family assets should not have happened to Taravis-Knight.
"Transformers" is still time before it starts, and Ronan still has to think about who the director invites.
Of course, from the perspective of maximizing commercial benefits and minimizing the risk factor, Michael Bay is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
In addition, the copyright of Hasbro's "Special Forces" series is also in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, since Special Forces and Transformers once appeared in the same world in the comics, Ronan is also considering whether to put the two in the same universe to create a "Transformers" universe.
However, how to measure the strength of the two sides is a big difficulty.
You can't let the Duke single-handedly take out a Decepticon, and Snakeeye jumps out to slash Megatron or the Red Spider, right?
Ronan joked, "Sometimes when I think about it, I envy you too." ”
"Envy me?" Ketty Horn shook her head, "What do I have to envy? Many people say that I am drunk and dreaming of death, and I have no pursuit." ”
She said seriously: "After a while, I may have to use this as a job to support myself." ”
Ronan understands what this means, the failure of "Catwoman" has a great negative impact, Warner Bros., especially the top management of the film company, needs someone to be responsible for this, Kevin Tsohara used the advantage of power to successfully dump the pot, Cody Horn's father Alan Horn unfortunately became the first choice to take the blame, and the position of the president of the film company must not be kept, and he is already handling various affairs of resignation.
Relativity Entertainment has a lot of cooperation with Warner Bros., and Ronan knows some about it.
He asked, "How's going on your father's side?"
Kotti Horn shrugged slightly: "It's not like that, the islanders are too treacherous. ”
Ronan asked directly, "What about the new job?"
Korty Horn has always been lighthearted, and the truth is like this: "Walt Disney has sent my father an offer to take over Tony Cross's position as CEO of Disney Pictures. ”
The answer to this casual chat, Ronan instantly remembered in his heart, Alan Horn was actually going to work at Disney Studios!
"The location is not easy to do. Ronan said: "Disney Studios has achieved average results in recent years. ”
Kottie-Horn smiled and said, "I don't know much about that, either. ”
Ronan didn't continue the topic, and after a few words, in front of Cody Horn, he picked up the phone and dialed Kevin Feige's side, briefly explaining the situation.
This kind of small role, which is not much stronger than a cameo, originally did not have very strict requirements for the selection of actors, and Ketty Horn had the performance of "Mean Girl" as a precedent, so naturally there was no problem.
Ketty Horn quickly said goodbye and left, saying that she was going back to prepare for the audition.
Ronan has worked with Korty Horn once and knows that she is professional and serious even when she makes a cameo.
These are the basic requirements of film shooting, and the vast majority of actors, even big-name actors, will take a long time to prepare before starting filming.
Robert Downey Jr., for example, has already started working out for filming.
The film market in North America is relatively mature, and if you want to be popular for a longer time, you need to work hard.
After all, watching a movie costs money to buy tickets and spend time going to the theater, which is much higher for the audience than the cost of counterfeiting or buying traffic on the Internet.
It is easy to fake traffic on the Internet, but the cost of movie box office fraud is much higher, and some stars who claim to have tens of millions of fans divide the box office by the ticket price, and it is roughly clear how many fans there are.
Besides, how many of them are there to see how bad the audience really is?
But Brother Bao has the courage to defend the reputation of "the first director in the bad film industry" and go to the boxing ring to challenge.
For some people, it is too dangerous to appear in a movie before boxing is practiced......
The competition in the film market is fierce and cruel, and there is no need for any department or other related parties to make a move, and the fierce competition in the film market will naturally eliminate some films and related personnel.
When layers of artificially created glamour are stripped away by ruthless market competition, the consequences are not much different from the collapse of the personality, and the relevant personnel will naturally be demoted if they cannot bring back enough returns.
Having said that, some bad movies can win by marketing, but when the whole people begin to hate a special group of stars, the more crazy the marketing, the more the public's disgust will increase.
Frankly speaking, there is indeed that type of actor in the world who is very talented without hard work, but unfortunately it is not their group.
The prejudice in people's hearts is often a mountain that cannot be crossed, but there are times when this mountain is reliable.
Entering August, the North American box office of "Batman: Time to Go to War" quickly exceeded $150 million, and the film was released in more than 50 overseas markets.
By the time it reached its first weekend in August, the film had grossed $312.03 million worldwide.
At the same time, "Death 3" only stayed in North America for five weeks before it went down, and the North American box office stuck at $85.95 million.
The Grim Reaper will not leave here, and preparations for "Death is Coming 4" will start on time in the second half of the year, and James Huang will also return and continue to serve as the director of the series.
This time, though, James Wong will also serve as a producer.
Ronan basically completely delegated power to the director on the mature routine series "The Grim Reaper".
At the same time, the North American box office of "The Wedding Guest" exceeded $250 million.
But the film's overseas response was mediocre, and the overseas box office just exceeded $100 million.
Ronan left Los Angeles and came to England again to deal with Manchester United-related matters.
