Chapter 759: Bald Head and Critical Strike
In the entire "Fast and Furious 3" crew, Ronan's most important actor is definitely not Gianna Quan, but Dwayne Johnson.
On the second day after coming to the crew, Ronan also chatted with Dwayne Johnson for a while between filming.
"The second season of 'Prison Break' is coming to an end, and when I got the news, I couldn't believe it. Dwayne Johnson always has a smile on his face and gestures when he speaks: "The first part received so well that I thought it would continue to be filmed and become a long-lived drama." ”
Ronan smiled and said, "With this kind of theme, once the protagonist escapes from prison and gets rid of the police, the attraction will plummet. ”
Dwayne Johnson isn't the kind of reckless guy with a muscular stick in his head: "It's true, it's better to take it than to be unattractive." ”
Ronan nodded slightly: "Almost." ”
Dwayne Johnson said with a little amusement: "This way I can end up decently." He touched the bald head specially requested by the crew: "It's not bad to make a movie." ”
"Good job. Ronan encouraged: "I hope we can continue to work together for a long time." ”
Dwayne Johnson deliberately said: "Then I don't want to be bald all the time?" He already knew that the bald head requested by the crew came from Ronan's suggestion: "Ronan, I only found out after I shaved my head that I could be so handsome." ”
Ronan laughed: "Dwayne, the new male character who joins the racing family in the future must be bald. ”
"That's right!" Dwayne Johnson thought Ronan was joking, "We bald families are going to fight all over the world." ”
Ronan made a few jokes: "It is said that the bald man has a high critical hit and can often hit a fatal blow!"
Dwayne Johnson looked suddenly enlightened: "I understand that a bald head is a kind of glory. ”
Ronan is ready to make contact with Jason Statham, and in the future, the beauty of the prosperous world will also join this series, and the bald head must become the standard for men in the racing family.
Bald men are very attractive in film and television works, both in the East and the West.
Like braised eggs, bald guys and bald heads, etc., were once all the rage.
Not bald racing family members are evil.
Some people say: A real warrior dares to face the bald life.
Most tough guys appear in front of people with bald heads, and bald heads are the most important hairstyle to test a man's handsomeness!
Then again, should Paul Walker be shaved as well?
The bald life is even tougher, maybe the bald head can make Paul Walker transport?
Ronan thought he could try.
Ronan was impressed by Dwayne Johnson, who was one of the few stars in Hollywood after 2010 who could carry a commercial blockbuster on his own.
Even, some people say that he is the only star in Hollywood after 2010 who can make a big box office with a single antibody.
This is a very smart big bald head.
starred in many movies, although the routine is the same, but quite good-looking.
For example, in a certain movie, he has a daughter who is more attractive than an earthquake, and the mountain peaks that are shaken by the earthquake are not to mention the shaking of the mountains.
Many male stars are always getting older and more popular, and Dwayne Johnson can also be said to be a typical example of them.
Among the superheroes of Marvel Entertainment, are there any roles that fit Dwayne Johnson?
Maybe Dwayne Johnson can be a member of the Avengers?
These are just some of Ronan's initial thoughts, and it depends on the cooperation with Dwayne Johnson later, after all, many actors are very reluctant to shoot superhero movies.
As the crew began filming, the set continued to be dusty, with multiple modified cars roaming through the New Mexico wilderness, and the filming highlighted the speed of drag racing and added more action scenes, and the film was bound to be an action movie in the future, not a racing movie.
Jessica Felton approached and handed Ronan a stack of bound papers, "Look at it. ”
Ronan flipped it open and asked, "Just wrote?"
"I couldn't sleep last night. Jessica Felton still had a tired look on her face: "Just wrote a little bit about the preliminary plan for Juno." ”
Ronan nodded slightly: "Are you going to go to Canada to shoot?"
Jessica Felton yawned and said, "It's easy to get tax refunds in Canada. ”
Ronan browsed it and said, "That's it, after you finish writing, pass it to Shahai Entertainment, and I'll ask them to promote the project as soon as possible." ”
"Okay. Jessica Felton retracted the initial proposal: "I'll call George when I'm done. ”
The two didn't say much, and the project "Juno" will not be approved until the second half of the year at the earliest.
Similar to "Crash", this will also be a very American movie, and the first consideration of the film's market is North America, and overseas can be ignored for the time being.
How much commercial income such a film can get overseas depends mainly on the response in North America.
In the past ten years, any film that has been a big hit at the North American box office or has won an Oscar heavyweight or even a nomination, even if it is not very in line with overseas aesthetics, can often get a not too bad box office.
For example, "Crash", although the overseas box office is far from being comparable to North America, with the addition of the Oscar effect and North American word-of-mouth, the overseas box office has earned more than 40 million US dollars.
Some things must be viewed objectively, and the influence of North America, the world's largest film market, should not be underestimated.
Hollywood's commercialization success is also evident.
After Ronan communicated with director Justin Lin, he didn't stay in the crew for long and was ready to leave that afternoon.
Gianna took the time to get Ronan to the car.
"You're doing a great job. Ronan is satisfied with the Korean actress, who is closer to being natural: "If this film can be successful, it will win you global popularity." ”
Gianna seemed to be mistaken, leaned over and whispered: "I returned to China some time ago, and I contacted someone, do you want me to call her next time?" She also wants to come to Hollywood for development and is preparing to study here. ”
Ronan didn't pay attention to it, and waved his hand casually: "Let's talk about it when we have time." ”
Gianna leaned over to Ali and kissed him lightly on the cheek, smiling as brightly as the New Mexico sun.
Back in Los Angeles, Ronan met with George Clint to discuss the status of several new projects, including "Juno."
With the listing of Netflix's streaming media business and the continuous surprising results on the Internet side, Shahai Entertainment must also strengthen its TV drama production business.
Netflix also placed an order with Shahai Entertainment, no matter what type of drama, as long as it is a good drama, the more the merrier.
"Breaking Bad", which has obtained the copyright of the script, is preparing for the first season, and it will be able to log on to the Netflix platform as soon as next year.
The three adaptations of "The Walking Dead", "House of Cards" and "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", their respective screenwriting teams have already been established and are polishing the scripts.
In addition, Shahai Entertainment also has two teams, which are collecting horror stories circulating in the United States and planning otaku comedy series.
As Ronan had planned, these will be rolled out in the coming years, rather than being piled up on the Netflix streaming platform.
Netflix is not without weaknesses at present, and the biggest flaw lies in variety shows.
The copyrights of many variety shows are in the hands of TV stations or some founders and companies, and variety shows such as "American Idol" do not have high copyright fees, and it is difficult to directly enter Netflix's platform.
As for self-control, Ronan can only find a way from other channels to see if he can meet a variety show that he once had an impression.
Ronan used to be a person who hardly watched variety shows, and his impression of American variety shows was still at the point of "American Idol" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".
The former is because the name is too loud, and the audition model has swept the world.
The latter is a program hosted by a student from a movie station in the Pacific.
I've heard of other running men and the like, but I vaguely remember that it's a show from Korea.
This kind of variety show, Ronan may have inadvertently glanced at it a few times on some occasions, and the impression can only be said to be better than nothing.
Due to the fact that all the previous forces were focused on the more important negotiation of the copyright licensing of movies and TV episodes, Ronan and Netflix were relatively slow to act on variety shows, after all, the negotiation is not only a group of people grinding their mouths, but also more investment in market research and so on outside the negotiation table.
Many variety shows have a very wide audience and cannot be ignored.
Netflix is also in contact with a number of TV stations and variety production companies to obtain relevant licenses at a reasonable price as much as possible.
As for self-production, except for survival series such as "Survival in the Wild", Ronan has no plans in this regard for the time being.
Although I know that there was once a running man who caught fire on the other side of the Pacific, what was on fire in South Korea and the East may not work if you move to North America.
And according to Ronan's understanding, the variety show can become popular, and it is also inseparable from the appeal of the participating stars.
But in Hollywood, it is basically impossible to attract a group of popular stars to participate in variety shows for a long time.
Not to mention superstars like Tom Cruise and Will Smith, even if they are stars who are a lower grade, they will not easily appear on variety shows if they are not needed for film promotion.
Especially a group of people go to appear in variety shows.
Hollywood generally has a very obvious division of genres, with movies being larger than TV series and variety shows.
It is impossible for any Hollywood company to be exhaustive, and Ronan does not force this aspect, and Relativity Entertainment should focus on strong industries.
But Netflix negotiated variety shows with TV stations, which reminded him of the two famous projects of "American Idol" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".
These two variety shows appeared early on, and "American Idol" aired its first season on Fox TV in 2002.
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" appeared even earlier, airing in the UK in 1998.
This question-and-answer program still has potential to be tapped.
