Among the directors who have worked with him for a long time, Guillermo del Toro is not the first to part ways with Relativity Entertainment, once because of the disagreement between the concept and the theme, James Huang also ended his cooperation with Shahai Entertainment and turned to shoot "Cosmic Pursuit" for Sony Entertainment's Revolutionary Pictures.

It's a pity that the film didn't meet expectations, Ronan also persuaded James Huang before he left, and James Huang returned to Relativity Entertainment and continued to work with Shahai Entertainment to shoot the "Death is Coming" series.

The director himself is a profession with a large circulation in the Hollywood circle, and if there is no contract constraint, the choice of a famous director is also huge.

Just like with James Wong at the beginning, Relativity Entertainment's end of its cooperation with Guillermo del Toro is also an amicable breakup.

In the future, if there is an opportunity, the two sides can cooperate again.

Ronan got the news that the day after his meeting with Guillermo del Toro, the Mexican director went to Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures.

He no longer cares about the specific contacts between the two sides.

Relativity Entertainment has a large number of film projects that need his attention in time.

Ronan left Los Angeles and came to New Mexico, where the Fast & Furious 3 crew was filming.

The crew's location set is a desert, but it is not far from the town, and the living conditions outside the filming are much better than when Ang Lee was filming "Brokeback Mountain".

Even if the set is deserted, everyone in the crew can guarantee to stay in a four-star hotel, come back from the wild every day, and take a hot shower in time.

On the set, the camera is set high on the boom, and despite the distance, you can still hear the roaring car motors, and the dust that flies up will occasionally blow in with the changing wind.

Jessica Filton wore light blue jeans, a black short-sleeved shirt with long sunscreen ice sleeves, a black baseball cap printed with LA, and a pair of dark sunglasses.

The sun in New Mexico is very intense.

Ronan also put on a Lakers cap, and the scorching sun didn't make it very comfortable.

The two sat under a huge sun umbrella, and the conditions were much better than the busy crew.

"The film projects I am responsible for always have a relationship with the sunshine. Jessica Filton took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ronan: "During the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean, I was able to sunbathe almost every day. Now, I spend every day in the sunbathing. ”

Ronan gestured to her outfit, "You're very experienced. ”

Jessica Felton shrugged: "No matter what, I'm a woman, so I always have to be careful with myself." She took a sip of water and said: "The real sad thing is the actor, Johnson has a black charcoal head." ”

Ronan joked, "I remember that he was not in vain. ”

Jessica Felton laughed and reminded, "Now, don't talk nonsense. ”

The various protests in the United States have gradually subsided over time, and although they have not been able to do anything to the two white police officers in Atlanta in the end, the changes in the social environment are very obvious.

Ronan nodded: "This kind of joke, I'm just going to make fun of it, I usually pay attention to it." ”

One black person can scold another black, and that's fine, but other people can scold a, and that's racism.

This is already a widely accepted view in the United States.

Ronan thought about the multiracial composition of the crew and asked, "What's the atmosphere like in the crew?"

"There were small conflicts, but there were no big conflicts that affected the filming. Jessica Felton said simply: "The director is Asian, and he handles relationships well. The two male protagonists, Johnson and Paul, are both easy-going people, and they can get along with other people, especially Johnson, who is the lubricant of the crew, and with the crowd he is present, the atmosphere will always get better. ”

She said with a smile: "Other actors know their own weight and will not take the initiative to cause trouble." ”

Ronan nodded slowly: "That's good." ”

"The most tense relationship is the two actresses with the heaviest roles. Jessica Felton deliberately glanced at Ronan: "That Gianna from South Korea, and Jordana, basically don't speak. But it's nothing, it doesn't interfere with normal work, and it's normal for actresses with similar roles in the crew to appear. ”

Ronan said: "Jesse, you are the producer, and you have the final say in this crew." ”

Jessica Felton added: "Don't worry, I'll only defuse and limit the contradictions, not expand them." ”

"I'm a technical guy like you. Ronan laughed: "The most reassuring." ”

Jessica Filton changed the subject: "The post-production of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is basically completed, and if "Fast and Furious 3" goes well, all filming will be completed before June, and it will be transferred to post-production, and the film will definitely be completed within this year." ”

"The schedule is set. Ronan unscrewed the mineral water: "It will be released next summer." ”

He took a sip: "It's only March, hell the weather, it's too hot." ”

Jessica Felton handed over a towel, and Ronan took it and wiped her sweat: "It's too dry here. ”

"Actually, it's fine. Jessica Felton laughs, "I sweat every day, and when I come back to the hotel from work, I can smell the smell of sweat on my body." ”

Ronan took off his sunglasses and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead: "I feel like I stink now." ”

Jessica Felton craned her neck, leaned over to sniff, deliberately fanned her nose, and joked, "You can smoke a cow to death." Ronan, suggesting you go back and take a shower before meeting Gianna. ”

Ronan looked at her and asked, "When did you care about all this gossip?"

Jessica Filton said: "There are a lot of rumors in the crew, and it's hard not to notice. ”

Ronan has nothing to say about this, just like Leonardo and Will Smith, since he has done it, there will definitely be people talking about it.

A lot of things in Hollywood, it's not like you don't have it, it doesn't exist.

Ronan automatically switched the channel: "After the filming of this project, do you want to take a break for a while?"

Jessica Felton shook her head: "No. I've been involved in filmmaking and I've lived a very fulfilling life, and I'm in the perfect state for me, which I never felt before I met you. I'm ready to start a new project, of course, Relativity Entertainment already has the copyright. ”

"Which project?" asked Ronan.

In the past two years, Relativity Entertainment's copyright library has been enriched with many projects, and many copyrights related to scripts and other works have been purchased from North America and overseas.

Jessica Filton reminded, "Do I remember the script I recommended to you?

Ronan thought for a moment and remembered: "You're talking about "Juno" about teenage pregnancy, right?"

"It's Juno. Jessica Felton said: "There was a gap between Fast & Furious 3 and Part 4 and I wanted to try to push the project forward. Preparations will probably begin in the second half of this year, and the filming stage will begin next year, and it will be released around 2007. ”

This is the project Jessica Felton has found, and Ronan will certainly not refuse, and the protests that have spread across the United States in recent months have not only promoted the black movement, but also other affirmative action movements.

As the form of society changes, the subject matter of "Juno" will no longer be as sensitive as before.

I have a vague impression that once this film, he seems to have downloaded and watched it during the 2008 Olympic Games.

Although he has been friends with Jessica Felton for many years, Ronan still has to say some things at work: "The theme of the project "Juno" naturally determines that it is impossible to have a high investment. Jesse, Shahai Entertainment will not have the support of "Fast and Furious 3", and the production investment will not exceed ...... $8 million, maybe even less, you have to be prepared. ”

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "I understand, this is going to be a low-budget film, and I have made a plan that if I don't hire star actors and big-name directors, I can complete the production and shoot for about $5 million." ”

Since it was brought up in front of Ronan, of course she made certain preparations.

Ronan nodded slightly, thought of the impressive heroine, and said: "I have read the script, the heroine in it is too special, it is difficult for ordinary girl actors to meet the requirements, and older actors do not meet the setting." ”

Jessica Felton also considered: "It's really a problem, Hollywood has always used actors in their twenties to play underage girls. ”

Ronan said: "White women are precocious, which is usually not a big problem, but this character is so special that it must be recognizable as an underage girl, so that the film is more impactful." ”

Hearing this, Jessica Filton couldn't help but ask, "Do you have the right person?"

"Have you watched "Hard Fruit Candy"?" Ronan said directly: "The heroine in it, Alan Pegg, is born with excellent conditions and excellent acting skills. ”

Jessica Filton looked at Ronan in surprise and deliberately asked, "Do you still watch this kind of film? Can you still impress you?" I thought that men would only have one feeling after watching it......

Ronan smiled and said, "It's just a movie." He turned back to the topic: "By the way, I remembered, I told people before that Alan Page starred in Twentieth Century Fox's "X-Men 3", and he played the role of a phantom cat. ”

"That's fine, I don't have her contact information. Jessica Felton said: "I found someone to go directly to the set and have initial contact with her. ”

"Juno" can be said to be a very special film project, and it is only a preliminary plan now, and the details will have to be planned in detail later.

At the end of the day's filming of the crew, Ronan met Gianna Quan, the actress from South Korea who did her best
