Chapter 792: Number One Star

Auditions for Thor and Captain America are scheduled for the end of June, and Jason Momoa and Chris Evans are just the first candidates, not the only ones.

At the end of the day, it's the characters in superhero movies that make the actors, and even Iron Man is no exception to Robert Downey Jr.

"Iron Man" has moved to the post-production stage, and the post-production in charge of ILM will last for a considerable time, and it is expected that the whole film will not be completed until March next year at the earliest.

Compared with many fast gunner-like directors, special effects production must not be sloppy, and it is directly proportional to the time and money invested.

Embassy Pictures has announced that "Iron Man" will be released at the beginning of next summer.

In the future, Marvel Entertainment's superhero movies will be released as much as possible in the summer season every year, and Ronan has an idea to make the first weekend of the summer file every year a weekend carnival feast for Marvel superhero movies.

It's not easy, and it takes movie after movie to influence fans' choices.

As long as Iron Man is a success, the Marvel superhero movie can open up the situation and thus kick off the Avengers' feature-length film series.

If all goes well, the Marvel series of movies will be the trump card of Relativity Entertainment, but it will not be the only ace series of movies.

Needless to say, the second installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series will be released on Independence Day, and there will be a third next year.

Ronan must make Johnny Depp the real-life Captain Jack Sparrow.

In addition, there are two more series of movies that Ronan is also ready to put on the agenda.

Lindsey Beal, who worked with David Fincher in New York, had just returned to Los Angeles when Ronan approached her for an office.

"How's the filming going?" Ronan looked at the maturing female screenwriter and producer across from him and asked, "Is it going well?"

Lindsay Beal's delicate face squeezed out a smile: "It's not as smooth as expected." She explained simply: "David Fincher is extremely strict with the filming requirements, the heroine Rachel McAdams is fine, and the other actors always make mistakes and then keep reshooting." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "David Fincher is the kind of director who shoots and produces slowly, calm down, the type of this film also determines that it must be improved." ”

Lindsey Beale said: "Yes, David Fincher is the most demanding director I've ever met. ”

Of course, the number of directors she has worked with is also limited.

Ronan was quite relieved by David Fincher and instead asked, "How is the heroine Rachel McAdams?"

"It's great, it's outstanding, it's not just my opinion, David Fincher says about her. Lindsay Beale thought for a while and said: "How to say, this role seems to belong to her by nature, Rachel McAdams is particularly compatible with the role, probably the preparation is very good, and the figure and psychology of the role are particularly in place." ”

Ronan smiled: "It seems that we have chosen a good actor. ”

Lindsey Beale added: "I think if the film works well, Rachel McAdams might be able to compete for the Golden Globe or Oscars during the awards season." ”

"I'm looking forward to this film. "We've done a lot of preparation, and we've been planning for more than two years and hopefully we'll be successful in the future," Ronan said. ”

Lindsay-Beale also said: "Personally, I feel that this film has a strong response. Ronan, don't forget, I've done field research and have a deep understanding of the industry, and now it's getting worse and more common. ”

She sighed lightly: "Girls all want to live an exquisite life, just like the "Gossip Girl" that has been filmed, they all want to be Queen S, but if they want to do this, the most basic point is to have money, and it is not money that can be earned by doing odd jobs or interns, that money is simply not enough, and it can't satisfy them." ”

Ronan has experienced the era of online social networking with faster information dissemination, and has a general understanding of the mentality of many girls.

Although the sentence "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle" is a line specially written by the program team, it is also a true psychological portrayal of many girls.

And this portrayal is not accurate, some girls with sufficient capital do not have to sit in a BMW and cry at all, because they can buy a BMW themselves.

In the United Kingdom and the United States, some statistics may be exaggerated, but they can reflect that similar situations are no longer uncommon, and are gradually developing in the direction of universality.

This kind of thing, once you come into contact with it for the first time, it is difficult to stop again.

When you get used to making a lot of money lying down, how many are willing to work hard to earn a salary?

What's more, there are always some licking dogs who are constantly driving up prices, causing the market to become increasingly inflated.

In the end, some girls think that they have earned enough money, pat their butts and leave, and live in a new place, anyway, the world is so big, they can always find a suitable place, and their own conditions are good, as long as they are willing to lower their requirements, they can also find someone to take over.

"I feel sad that I have been exposed to it too much. Lindsay-Beale added: "Even if they try to seduce rich people, it's better than this situation." ”

Ronan shrugged, not knowing how to answer.

Lindsay Beale smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know it's not realistic, because rich people are never short of beautiful women." ”

Ronan couldn't help but laugh: "You see it very thoroughly. ”

Lindsey Beale instead asked, "Called me before and were you going to adapt those two series?"

Ronan didn't go around in circles, and said directly: ""Twilight and The Hunger Games have always been in charge of you, and I plan to hand over the work of film adaptation to you." ”

Lindsay Beale immediately said: "Leave it to me!" "Gossip Girl" has been completed, just waiting to be broadcast online with Netflix streaming, the work of the "Girl" crew is not very busy, the filming is completely in charge of David Fincher, I am more of a coordinator, and I have enough energy to take care of the pre-planning of these two projects. ”

Ronan corrected, "These two projects won't be going to happen at the same time, I'm going to adapt the Twilight series first, and then the Hunger Games series. ”

"No problem. Lindsay Beale knew that these two series would definitely hit the big screen, and she was mentally prepared: "I already have some ideas for adapting the script. ”

Ronan said: "You take the time, finish the first draft of the script this year, and write it according to the main line, and we strive to be a success in the first part, so as to bring the whole series to the big screen." ”

Lindsey Beale said, "Okay. After I've finished the first draft of the script, we'll talk about it. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Yes." At the same time, he advised: "The budget for a single production of the series will not be very high, and it will be limited to $40 million as much as possible, so we must pay attention to the control of large scenes that cost a lot of money." ”

Lindsey Beale said: "I understand that the focus of this series is not in the big scenes. ”

For Lindsay Beal, Ronan was still quite relieved, and explained some other precautions to her, and ended the meeting.

Lindsay Beale will not stay in Los Angeles for long, and after a short break of a few days, she will rush to New Jersey to join up with David Fincher's crew and continue to work as a producer to coordinate the filming of the crew.

In the afternoon, Ronan went to the Sand Sea Entertainment Animation Studio.

After the huge success of "Despicable Me", the production of the "Minions" movie and "Kung Fu Panda" is ramping up.

"As soon as Minions is finished, the team will move on to the second part of Despicable Me. ”

In the office, Chris Renard is full of confidence: "We have found successful experiences and patterns, and following this pattern, we are confident that the next few animated feature films will be recognized by the market." ”

Ronan said: "Don't underestimate the market, pay attention to collect feedback from the audience on 'Despicable Me' in a timely manner. ”

Chris Renard said: "We have a dedicated team that takes care of this. ”

"Good. "Ronan has always taken market dynamics seriously.

Since the establishment of Relativity Entertainment, the survey feedback on various information in the market has never stopped, after all, movies are deeply affected by the reality of society.

Chris Renard then said: "Now that the new team has been set up, I am ready to start the third project, your idea of primitive people and orogeny. ”

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Yes." But he still advised: "Chris, the animation studio should expand moderately, and it is not easy to develop too quickly and too quickly, and it is necessary to lay a solid foundation, and do not start more than three animated feature film projects at the same time at the moment." ”

Speaking of this, Ronan reminded again: "Don't forget, you still have the "Peppa Pig" project. ”

When it comes to the revenue of a single animation project, "Peppa Pig" is definitely the number one star project of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, with revenue of $150 million in the first quarter of this year, and the total revenue for the year is expected to exceed $500 million.

This is the real cash cow.

Chris Renard is very clear-headed: "Peppa Pig is always our number one priority, and the new season of the animation is about to be finished and will be broadcast on TV at the end of this month. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "This pink pig is already the largest single income star of Relativity Entertainment." ”

Whether it's Jason Bourne or Captain Jack Sparrow, all the benefits that can be created will be bowed down in front of Peppa Pig.

The reason why Walt Disney has stood tall for decades and can become the only company in Hollywood that has transformed into a media conglomerate, in addition to the operation of financial capital, owns many animation copyrights, is also a reason.

It's a pity that this is Disney's lifeblood, and unless Disney is acquired as a whole, it is basically impossible to get the copyright of these animations.

After the start of the new week, the gossip of the love triangle is getting more and more ferocious, and the famous dog man and woman movie is about to be released.
