Chapter 223: Star Dream
In the hotel lobby lounge, Ronan looked at Paris Hilton opposite, the rich daughter was tall, with long flowing hair, bright eyes and teeth, full of young dynamism and vitality.
She wasn't as dusty as she was later.
If memory serves, this is a girl who is not yet twenty years old.
"Miss Hilton, are you looking for me?" asked Ronan.
"Call me Paris, that's what my friends call me. Paris Hilton seems to have a request for Ronan, without the rumored arrogance: "Can I call you Ronan?"
The two are of similar age, and she feels that it is easy to close the distance, and as a princess-like existence in the circle, she is confident in this regard.
Paris Hilton blinked cat-like eyes and said, "Ronan, I have something I want to ask. ”
Ronan was also polite: "Please speak." ”
Paris Hilton asked, "Do you think I can be an actor?"
"Forgive me for taking the plunge. Ronan asked rhetorically, "Paris, do you want to be an actor?"
Paris Hilton stroked a strand of blonde hair that hung down and said, "I've always wanted to be an actor and let more people know me." ”
The girl seems to have an extraordinary desire to be famous: "You're a very successful producer in Hollywood, do you think I have the potential to be a star?"
Ronan crossed his hands on the table, looked Paris Hilton up and down, and said, "There is no problem with your appearance, even if you look at the whole of Hollywood, Paris, you are the most beautiful." ”
If ordinary people say this, Paris Hilton will only treat it as a clumsy flattery, but when it comes out of the mouth of Ronan, the producer, he laughs so much that his eyes are crooked.
Paris Hilton asked a little anxiously, "So I can be a star?"
"Okay, I can't say for sure. Ronan gradually had an idea and began to steer the topic in his own direction: "You'll find out until you've tried." ”
"How to try?" said Paris Hilton.
Ronan further said: "Go to Hollywood, find a suitable crew to audition, and then participate in the movie, the effect is clear at a glance. ”
Paris Hilton frowned: "I don't know anyone in Hollywood......"
Ronan smiled but didn't say anything.
"You?" Paris Hilton looked at Ronan, "yes! you're the producer!"
Ronan said at the right time: "Paris, if you are really interested in acting, I can introduce you to Hollywood." ”
Paris Hilton has no interest in acting at all, only in being a star.
"Can you make me a star?" Paris Hilton stared at Ronan with a fiery look in his eyes, "The kind that is very well-known in the whole of America?"
Ronan smiled and said, "With Miss Paris's conditions, it's not difficult. ”
Paris Hilton thought that Ronan was praising her beauty in disguise, and smiled more and more happily, only feeling that this young Hollywood producer was not only handsome, but also able to speak, and also knew people.
Of course, Ronan will not say it explicitly, the eldest lady of the Hilton family, the future heir to hundreds of millions of assets, is good-looking, and it is not difficult to become famous at all.
Even if no one told Paris Hilton, it wouldn't take two years for her to figure it out herself.
Ronan took the initiative to invite: "Paris, I have a movie in the works, and several of the key characters are young people in their twenties. ”
"Okay, yes!" Paris Hilton said busily, "when will the shooting start?"
Ronan smiled, and some words were better said in the front: "This is a horror movie, the genre that my company is best at." ”
Paris Hilton said: "It doesn't matter if it's a horror movie, as long as it makes me appear in the movie and show my face more. ”
"Of course. Ronan added: "The film has a limited budget and the pay may be low. ”
He added: "The salaries of newcomer actors are not high. ”
Paris Hilton waved her hand again and again: "Money is not a problem, and it is okay without pay." ”
Ronan nodded lightly: "In this way, if you are interested, you can go to Los Angeles after the New Year and see the crew on the spot." ”
"Do you have to wait until after the New Year?" Paris Hilton couldn't wait: "When will the film be released after filming?"
Ronan thought for a while and said, "It will be released in March or April next year." ”
Paris Hilton said, "Okay! I'm going to see you in Los Angeles after New Year's." She muttered in a low voice, "When I become a star, can that bitch who sees a real estate man still be able to show off in front of me?
Ronan left his personal business card with Paris Hilton: "Paris, when you arrive in Los Angeles, you can contact me directly." ”
Paris Hilton looked at the business card, took out her mobile phone, dialed the number on it directly, and waited for Ronan's mobile phone to ring, squeezing his eyes: "This is my phone, you are welcome to call me." ”
Is this seducing me? Ronan glanced at Paris Hilton, probably not, maybe Paris Hilton is not famous, and is already very prodigal in private.
Eighteen or nineteen-year-old American girls have experienced dozens of times, and it is not uncommon.
Paris Hilton asked some more Hollywood gossip, and waited until her sister Nikki Hilton called again and again to urge her before saying goodbye and leaving.
Ronan went back to the upstairs room and called Uwe Ball, telling him to leave a young female character with more scenes.
That's right, Ronan recommended Paris Hilton to Ubao's "House of the Dead", the future king of bad movies naturally has to match bad actors, since it is going to be bad, it may be a good choice to use a bad actor like Paris Hilton.
The images of Paris Hilton that Ronan has seen in his previous life are undoubtedly "The Demon King of the Wax Museum" and "Paris by Hilton".
The latter doesn't matter, it's easy to encounter divine beasts if it is too much.
The former was a horror film, and at that time, the filmmakers used Paris Hilton as one of the selling points of the film.
Ronan doesn't have any messy ideas, and he also wants to use Paris Hilton as the selling point of the film and increase the topicality of this bad movie.
The film "House of the Dead" has a total production budget of only $1.2 million, and the genre is originally a B-grade film, and the special effects are not even as good as five cents.
Swinging is one thing, and Paris Hilton, the billionaire heir, can be the other.
Paris Hilton's entry into Hollywood is bound to cause a certain amount of topicality, even if it doesn't attract too many people, but as long as a small number of people pay attention, it is enough.
Besides, for a rookie actor, the salary is not much at all.
In Paris Hilton, it is completely possible to achieve low input and high output.
That night, Paris Hilton called Ronan, not of course inviting Ronan to the Hilton sisters' room on the top floor of the hotel, but reaffirming that he would offer access to Hollywood.
Ronan was full of words of agreement, and even told Paris Hilton that the film was directed by a talented German director.
Uwe Ball's level of directing, paired with Paris Hilton's acting skills, no problem.
It's a perfect match for the movie crew.
Ronan calculated that if Paris Hilton joined, it would be equivalent to two or three million dollars more than the crew's publicity budget out of thin air.
As long as there is a degree of topicality, maybe there will be more cinema films.
Ronan and Robert stayed in New York for another day, Marvel Comics and New Line Pictures negotiated the copyright recovery of "Iron Man", and after New Line Pictures and Marvel officially signed a copyright agreement, the copyright of "Iron Man" returned to Marvel, and then transferred to Shahai Entertainment according to the previous agreement signed with Shahai Entertainment.
The prodigal son who returned home was sold to another family by his old father who had a difficult life without spending the night.
got the key copyright of "Iron Man", Ronan finally put his mind at ease, in the previous life of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Avengers stage, it was completely based on Iron Man and Captain America as the core, and Iron Man's character is also likable.
With the copyright in hand, there will be more possibilities in the future.
Ronan was also unambiguous, with the arrival of the Iron Man copyright, he asked Shahai Entertainment to mortgage $30 million from the bank, and in accordance with the provisions of the contract, paid a one-time basic transfer fee of $30 million to Marvel.
At this point, all the work of his trip to New York is complete, and it is time to return to Los Angeles.
Back in Los Angeles, Ronan went to Uwe Bauer's crew, Ubao may be a big fool, and the director's level is also very scummy, but the basic organizational skills are still there, and with the assistance of the production manager, many cheap and affordable people in the industry have been recruited, and the crew has basically taken shape.
In terms of actors, the three young actors currently recruited by Wubao have a total salary of less than $10,000.
On the one hand, Uwe Ball can fool, and on the other hand, Hollywood's new actors are not worth much.
Just like Kate Beckinsale, who would have thought that the production budget is as high as $140 million for a big-budget actress with a salary of only $50,000.
Uwe Bauer also tentatively wants Ronan to increase his investment, of course Ronan will not agree, this is a bad film, even if he joins Paris Hilton, it is difficult to say how much income he will have in the future.
Ronan also thought about making Urbao, the king of bad movies, as louder as possible, and it was very likely that there would be a situation where the disgusting audience who was rotten by Urbao last time couldn't help but see if Urbao was rotten out of a new realm when they learned that Urbao had made another movie.
There are definitely people with similar psychology, and there are quite a few.
Ronan suddenly felt that to study the film market, he should also study psychology.
In addition, in the evening, Ronan began to write a new script, write a rough story, and then go to the copyright office to register the copyright.
As the time approached Christmas, the Oscar PR for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had already begun, and the publicity and lobbying were only the responsibility of the hired professional company for the time being, and since the film had not yet been released in North America, the intensity was not particularly large.
The film will be screened in North American theaters before Christmas, and Ronan has prepared a small premiere.
Before the movie began, Ronan took Ang Lee's advice to participate in the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards.
This is also one of the outpost awards of the Oscars.
