Chapter 845: Alternation of the Old and the New
"Actually, you played a good job. ”
Inside the restaurant, Will Smith was eating steak and said to Ronan, "Your acting skills are excellent. Of course, this is among the extras. ”
Ronan put down his knife and fork and said, "Can't you give some real encouragement? I plan to continue to be an actor and play a superhero in the future." ”
Tom Cruise asked, "If you want to play a superhero, you need to train your muscles first." ”
Ronan asked, "Superheroes aren't all muscular heads, like Tony Stark. ”
Will Smith asked with interest, "When will Iron Man be released?"
Ronan picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and said unhurriedly: "The summer file will start next year." ”
"The beginning of the summer season?" Will Smith said, "for the past two years, you seem to have controlled the first weekend of the summer season. ”
Ronan said with a smile: "In the future, I plan to make the beginning of the summer file an exclusive weekend for Relativity Entertainment, and at the beginning of each summer file, there will be a super production of Relativity Entertainment released." ”
Tom Cruise continued: "Relativistic entertainment has a lot of competition to face. ”
Ronan said seemingly relaxedly: "Business is inevitably competitive. ”
"Don't talk about that. Will Smith proposed: "It's almost the weekend, the US Open finals are going to begin, will you two go and play?"
Tom Cruise shook his head: "There's something going on at church on the weekend, I have to attend, I shouldn't have time." ”
When she first arrived in New York last night, Connie called, so Ronan said, "I'm going to have to see the situation, and I can't be sure right now." ”
Will Smith sighed, "You guys, you don't know how to enjoy. I would like to inform you in advance that after the US Open, there will be a Champions Night party, and all the players who participate in the US Open, including the junior tournament, may make an appearance at the party, and there are many beautiful women in tennis. ”
Tom Cruise said directly: "Like Sister Williams?"
Ronan couldn't help laughing, the so-called beauties in tennis need to be supported by competitive performance, and if they don't reach a certain level, they won't be eye-catching.
Maria Sharapova doesn't win a Grand Slam tournament, can she have another name for a Russian beautiful girl?
There's also Kournikova, who has been ridiculed for her level of competition, but there's also the undeniable fact that Kournikova has a quasi-first-class level that can attract attention.
As for the Williams sisters, they are absolute powerhouses.
In an interview some time ago, the big worm Rodman said that he once singled out the Williams sisters and was beaten to the ground, and the two sisters together are comparable to Madonna.
"You were able to stand and walk out of Sister Williams. Ronan was deeply impressed: "Will, you are really talented. ”
Will Smith has a rare humility: "It's nothing. He said with a slight exaggeration: "There is a black director in the San Fernando Valley, who is also a part-time actor, and that is called talent, and the film is like a massacre." ”
Tom Cruise suddenly asked, "Isn't Relativity Entertainment going into that industry?" I've heard people say more than once that the market in that industry is bigger than Hollywood. ”
"That industry is even more closed than Hollywood. Ronan has somewhat understood: "Behind every company, you can see the shadow of large groups, and now Relativity Entertainment is facing fierce competition in Hollywood, and it is not suitable to go to the San Fernando Valley to open up a second battlefield for the time being." ”
Will Smith looked at the time: "It's almost time, we should go back and get the most prepared for the afternoon shoot." ”
Tom Cruise stood up: "We'll talk about it another day." ”
The two men still had work to do, so they quickly left the restaurant and returned to the dressing room to touch up their makeup.
Ronan also came out of the restaurant and did not leave the crew for the time being, and went to the set to chat with Martin Scorsese.
The topic of the two is not shooting, but the future of the film.
"The relationship on your side should also be activated as soon as possible. Ronan reminded in a low voice: "Like George, Steven, and Frank, you can ask for it, I believe they are also willing to contribute to their old friends." ”
Martin Scorsese said: "They've done a lot for me. But he understands that it is not just the film that wins the award, otherwise he would have won the Oscar for Best Director or Best Picture a long time ago: "I can only ask them to help one more time." ”
Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment, after the end of this year's Oscars, will make every effort to prepare for this film, and Embassy Pictures is also applying for the competition unit of "The Departed" at next year's Cannes Film Festival. ”
Martin Scorsese calculated: "Next May, absolutely no problem, I will definitely finish on time." ”
"It doesn't matter if you win at Cannes or not. Ronan added, "We all have to make 'The Departed' famous." ”
Frankly, Martin Scorsese's gangster film is very American, but it certainly has a better response in Europe than in Asia.
As for Asia, especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the Hong Kong version of the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy is ahead, and Ronan didn't expect "The Departed" to get much praise.
Maybe even a lot of swearing, more than the "F" in Tom Cruise's lines.
A romantic, poetic and melancholy male protagonist who is portrayed by Tom Cruise as a rough man who is full of swear words and rushes at every turn will definitely attract dissatisfaction and even criticism from many original audiences and media in East Asia.
First impressions are always good, just like first love.
For example, some of Ronan's classmates, because of the fame of the actors, first watched "Island Horror", and then watched "The Sixth Sense", they felt that "The Sixth Sense" was average, and thought that the reversals in "The Sixth Sense" were all played badly in "Island Horror".
And the opposite is true.
Preconceived notions are a common phenomenon among people.
With Martin Scorsese's achievements, fame and status, it is impossible for the Academy and the Oscars to ignore it, but the appearance of "The Aviator" is too ugly.
Returning to the gangster films that became famous and good at, perhaps the academy will give Martin Scorsese the recognition he deserves.
Because this is not for a film, but for Juilliard Roberts, who has accumulated over the years to get that little golden man.
Relativity Entertainment has to do its job well in advance, and Martin Scorsese's side is no exception.
With decades in the industry, Martin has too many old buddies.
Maybe these people feel that there is a psychological barrier to voting for "The Aviator", but it will be much better if you give the gangster movie that Martin Sr. is best at.
Among the four major directors in the eighties, George Lucas quit the directors' guild early, was no longer a member of the academy, and could not win awards.
Spielberg and Francis Coppola have already won the prize.
That's all that remains of Martin Scorsese.
And in terms of age structure and the development of Hollywood, a group of white people like Spielberg, who are about 60 years old, are gradually replacing the older generation and gradually becoming the core class of the academy.
However, it is not generally difficult to replace the old and the new in the film school, because the membership of the academy is lifelong, as long as you don't die, you are a member.
Therefore, many actors who are not recruited from the academy can only slowly boil to death, and the group of old men who discriminate against them will be boiled to death, and the situation at the Oscars will change.
But Ronan never expected the Oscars to become open-ended, because the old ones died, and the middle generation, who had a slightly more radical style, were also old.
Once a person is old, his thinking tends to be conservative in general.
Ronan is very sure of one thing, when he is old, he will also look down on young people in various ways, and ideas such as "Beat Generation" and "Decadent Generation" will pop up.
In order not to become a super conservative, you have to spend more time with young people.
So, rich old men always like young and beautiful girls.
Ronan did not delay Martin Scorsese's work, and after the crew entered the set one after another, he took the initiative to go to the rest of the set.
Next, it's Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson who are going to be filmed against each other.
Jessica Chastain, who had a scene to shoot in the afternoon, also came to the set and greeted Ronan first when she entered the break.
"Hello, Mr. Anderson. "Jessica Chastain has very white skin and long red hair, which is comparable to Nicole Kidman.
In Hollywood, it can be called the type of white light.
Ronan nodded in acknowledgment, "Hello, Jesse." He asked, "Is it going well on the crew?"
"It went very well. Jessica Chastain laughs and says, "Tom and Will took great care of me and helped me a lot. ”
There are some things that Jessica Chastain is embarrassed to say, and many people in the crew know that she came to the crew through Ronan to participate in the audition, thinking that she had a great relationship with Ronan.
Even Tom Cruise and Will Smith see her this way, taking her as Ronan's lover.
Therefore, some messy disputes within the crew did not appear to her.
Ronan said casually, "They all rate your performance very highly. ”
Jessica Chastain didn't know that this was purely a fool and said: "I cherish it very much to be able to work with Tom and Will, and director Scorsese, and will work harder." ”
Ronan, as the boss, has always liked employees who work hard: "Do it well, there are many movie projects of Relativity Entertainment." ”
"Hmm. Jessica Chastain vows: "I will." ”
Jack Nicholson arrived on the set at this time, and after seeing Ronan, he took the initiative to come over and say hello.
This is a famous personality actor in Hollywood, and he is also a famous playboy, and there are countless female stars who are rumored to have had a relationship with him.
Of course, Jack Nicholson is also talented.
In the 1989 version of "Batman", Jack Nicholson portrayed a classic Joker.
But once, the spokesperson of the clown was quickly replaced by another person.
Later, there is another clown who is even more acclaimed.
This is also a normal transition between the old and the new.
It can also be said that the setting of the role of the clown is naturally easy to shine.
