Chapter 634: The King of Bad Movies
This time I went to Australia for the filming of "The Hunger Games", although there are still a considerable number of scenes that have not been built, but they can be built while shooting, and the preliminary preparations are basically ready, and the conditions for starting up are fully met.
Ryan agreed to star in the film, but instead of Gail, as he said earlier, but one of the tributes from the other districts, well...... But even if it is the heroine's biggest opponent, there are not many scenes, and it doesn't take too long.
But none of this matters, from a certain point of view, this is a movie that completely belongs to the heroine.
"I've filmed action scenes."
Taking a sip of juice, Natalie looked at the sky outside the cabin and said, "Don't forget, I had action scenes in Both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. ”
"The mighty Queen Amidala once participated in the counterinsurgency war on the planet Naboo."
Before Ryan could speak, Taylor's voice came from the direction leading to the back barn, and she and Scarlett walked in with the blonde girl on their left and right, and Scarlett made a gesture to draw her bow and said, "Ryan, don't forget, Nat is a sharpshooter who can shoot ten rings." ”
"May I ask about that?"
Seeing the three girls sitting in another sofa chair, Ryan asked Natalie, "Do you often shoot the Ten Rings?" ”
"Only occasionally." Natalie waved to the bar, and a flight attendant brought drinks to the three girls, and she continued, "I mainly practice archery postures. ”
"Handsome, dashing, ......pretty," Taylor grumbled, biting the straw, "Originally, I wanted to be Nat's sister in the movie, but Kate and Sophia didn't think about it at all." ”
Then, she looked at the blonde girl next to her, who was more than ten years old, and muttered, "That's what cheapened you." Hannah. ”
"Because you're too tall!" Ryan nodded her head and pointed at Natalie, "If your sister is taller than your sister, do you think Katnis's decision to replace her in her race is still convincing?" ”
"But Hannah is too young." Taylor looked at the girl again, and the other party made a gesture that it didn't matter, "She's only ten years old, and she doesn't look like a twelve-year-old." ”
"Honey, you've clearly overlooked one thing."
Scarlett? Johnson deliberately flicked her forehead, and said unhurriedly when Taylor turned his head to glare. "Prim has always lived in District 12, she is a weak and innocent girl, and the chronic lack of food has caused her to be malnourished, and her appearance is younger than her age to be realistic."
So, Kate and Sophia chose Dakota? Miss Fanning, not you. "It seems to be a deliberate blow to Taylor," Scarlett added, "and Hannah has starred in more than ten movies so far." What about you? Zero actual performance experience! ”
When she said 'Zero', she also deliberately accentuated it.
Taylor was immediately so angry that he screamed, "Scarlett, I curse you that you will never win the Oscar!" ”
"It's better than if you've never had acting experience at all!" Scarlett fought back unflinchingly.
"I'm going to shoot the music video this time. It was right away. ”
The two girls stared at each other like cockfights, sitting next to Dakota? Fanning subconsciously glanced at her mother on the other side of the bar, blinking her innocent eyes and saying to Ryan, "They...... They ......"
"Leave them alone." Ryan shook his head. "It'll be fine in a moment."
Glancing at the familiar little girl again, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't expect it. Catherine? Kennedy and Sophia? Coppola actually chose Dakota? Fanning.
The other party has starred in a lot of works in recent years, and is one of the most spiritual girl stars in Hollywood today, especially the sweet appearance is particularly pleasing, the only pity is that when I grow up, my spirituality is basically gone, and my appearance is ......
Maybe it's because she has experienced the relationship between multiple crews, although this girl is sometimes overly smart, but she knows how to get along with people, and after getting on the plane, Taylor and Scarlett didn't reject her.
This is also a good thing, it is a hundred times better to find a smart young actor to act than to find a stupid person.
"Ryan, let's go to the movies."
Taylor ended his glaring at Scarlett, jumped over and pulled him up, "It's been a long time to get to Australia, hurry up, let's go to the movies." ”
She turned back and beckoned, "Nat, together." And you, Chubby! ”
"What do you want to see?" Ryan had no choice but to walk towards the small theater in the back cabin of the plane, Taylor took his arm and said, "Didn't Warner send a copy of Wonder Woman?" Don't say you didn't bring it. ”
"Okay." Ryan opened the door, and several girls rushed in first, and he looked at Natalie, "If you're bored, go to the back and rest." ”
"I'd like to see it again, too." Natalie squeezed past him, "This is Gail's famous work. ”
That's what Natalie said, Gail? Gado became famous with this film, in early August, "Wonder Woman" officially landed in North America, won more than $72 million in the first week, and now, the box office in two weeks has reached more than 120 million US dollars, which is definitely the most successful Warner Bros. film in recent years.
This movie also briefly evoked the audience's memories of DC superheroes, and made Warner Bros. full of confidence in the next "Superman Returns", and even Time Warner's executives began to fantasize about the Justice League series from afar.
For Ryan, the most important role of this film is not to compete with Amazement, but to prove that today's theme with women as the protagonist does have huge market potential.
His research firm has been investigating and consulting "Wonder Woman" for more than a week, and the film's audience is as high as 57 percent, and although they are quite complaining about some of the obscure treatment of Princess Diana's thoughts, they quite buy the film, thinking that it is a rare masterpiece with a female perspective.
Another measure of Warner Bros. in the film also shows enough appeal.
Except for Gail? In addition to Gado, most of the main actors, including Ares, are under the age of twenty-five, most of the male actors are handsome and handsome, and the actresses are beautiful and sexy enough.
With the younger generation of mainstream moviegoers, movies full of youthful atmosphere will occupy an important position in the film market.
"Wonder Woman has already shown us how well it is accepted by the market."
After watching the movie, a few people chatted in the small theater, and Ryan said simply, "All we have to do is come up with the best production." ”
"Then ......" Taylor rolled his eyes and leaned back against Scarlett, "Isn't it okay to make a Black Widow movie alone?" Look at the current Scarlett, it is the most beautiful and sexy time, and after a few years, she will really become a chubby girl, and no one will watch it when she shoots it. ”
"Alison!" Scarlett grabbed her blond hair tied into a ponytail and said viciously, "If you don't open your mouth, no one will treat you as an egg!" ”
"Ahhh......h Miss Swift put Natasha? Agent Normanov was beaten into a pig's head, what a great idea. ”
In the midst of the grin, she looked at Ryan again, "How is this construction of mine?" ”
"It's great." Ryan was tidying up the projection equipment and looked up, "But the movie went as you said, and I promise, you and Scarlett won't get paid." ”
"Do you have any plans for Black Widow?" Natalie asked curiously.
"Not for the time being, after all, the risk is a bit big." Ryan clapped his hands and sat down next to Natalie, "If The Hunger Games can be successful, Surprise must be thinking about it." ”
"Wow, do you hear that, Scarlett?" Taylor suddenly turned around and kissed Scarlett on the forehead, "Hey, aren't you happy about the Black Widow movie alone?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you pull." Scarlett wiped her forehead and deliberately made a disgusting look, "I don't have a shortage of film appointments now, according to Ryan, even if I want to shoot, it will be a few years away." ”
"That's right." Ryan continued, "Most of Marvel's budget is invested in "Hulk Hulk" and "Iron Man", and it is impossible to start a big production for the time being, and there is only a relatively small investment in "Ghost Rider". ”
"The one starring Sophia's cousin?" Natalie has heard people mention, "It is said that he is having a big financial problem. ”
Ryan nodded, but didn't say anything.
Nicholas? Cage is also a movie star he admired in his previous life, although this movie is always a good and a bad one, but the early works are still quite interesting, but helplessly, after entering the new century, this has encountered a huge debt crisis, although there is no Tom? Cruise is so miserable, but he is also like a mountain, so he had to start taking movies without restrictions, and finally became the king of bad movies.
But appreciation to appreciation, finance to finance, these are two completely different things, Ryan is not so great as to pay off people's debts, just in Sophia? After Coppola's recommendation, Nicholas was still used in "National Treasure" and "Ghost Rider"? Cage.
I just don't know if this person can get rid of the debt crisis as soon as possible, and don't take on so many bad movies in the future.
Then again, how much debt does he really owe?
Looking at Taylor, Scarlett, and Natalie, who were sitting together chatting, Ryan's suddenly thought of this question.
Forget it, it's none of your business. He shook his head and threw away the curious thoughts.
Ryan's private jet flew directly to the east coast of Australia, and instead of going to Sydney, it landed in Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, where the "Hunger Games" crew rented a Warner studio, right on the Gold Coast.
Locations, such as the woods outside District 12 and the Hunger Games, were chosen for Nicole's farm. (To be continued......)
