"Nat, try to change the number one hundred and thirty-two lens."

It's early time to get off work, but Sophia? Coppola had no intention of leaving, she instructed Natalie, who made a temporary cameo edit, to constantly change the shots, "Change the 217th shot again, right!" It's this little action. ”

"It looks so much better."

After adjusting the camera, Natalie thoughtfully that "Katniss entered this kind of luxurious place for the first time, and expressed her uneasiness with a series of unconscious small movements......"

Staring at herself on the LCD screen, she glanced at the female director beside her, "Sophia, it feels much better like this." ”

"That's all for today."

Take a big sip of coffee, Sophia? Coppola pinched his forehead and leaned back in his chair, "Nat, you're making very fast progress, and you can run a movie on your own." ”

"Thank you."

That's the end of today's work, Natalie disconnected the power of several devices, picked up her coffee cup, and asked before drinking, "Are you stressed?" ”

Sofia? Coppola nodded, "Didn't you read the report that Ms. Kennedy brought?" In addition to the $100 million for the production, Disney has also prepared another $120 million for publicity, and Ryan has helped me so much since I turned into a director, I really don't know how to deal with him if I mess up this time......"

Turning her head, Natalie frowned at Sophia? Coppola glanced at it, shook his head secretly, and comforted, "Although we only cut out a fifth, I think the film does have the desire to attract people to watch. Hope, don't forget, Sophia, with Ryan's character......"

She flattened her mouth, but still said, "If you can't see the possibility of making a profit, you will definitely not invest such a huge amount of money." ”

"You have a point." Sofia? Coppola agreed with Natalie, a smile tugging at his tired face. "Sometimes, I have more faith in Ryan than I have in myself!"

It's all the time. She added in her heart.

Natalie was slightly distracted, if it weren't for Ryan's support, how could she have made up her mind to enter the director's circle so early; If it weren't for Ryan's support, how could her real feature film appear in theaters.

It was with Ryan that she never worried about what to do if she failed, and she always believed that with Ryan's support, she could not fail.

"Pack up, let's go."

I looked at my watch. Natalie stood up, "Ryan should be almost there, it's not early, let's go to supper together." ”

"Okay."

Put on your coat, Sophia? Coppola walked towards the door with his satchel in his handbag, and after only a few steps, the door opened, and Ryan strode in.

"Looks like I'm here at the right time?" Ryan stepped out of the way and made a gesture of please. "Moria's restaurant, I've booked a spot."

It's a typical French restaurant, the meals are beautiful and tasty, and the portion of dinner is small enough. It is a place where many Hollywood female stars like to eat, and the reserved location in the restaurant is very quiet, and a round mahogany table keeps enough distance from other people.

Sitting at the dining table, Ryan and the three of them enjoyed the meals that were being delivered one after another. They whispered about topics of interest to each other.

"Don't you feel a little pressed for time?" Sofia? Coppola said seriously.

"Sophia."

Cutting a small piece of steak, Ryan looked up, "I've seen your progress. If nothing else, it will be completed by mid-May, and this is not counting overtime. ”

"Don't sue me, you want the movie to be released in May next year." After all, this is her first major production, and Sophia also wants to have more time to work on it.

"I was going to do that." Ryan ignored the two wide-eyed women, put the cut steak into his mouth, swallowed it, and said unhurriedly, "But Marvel put "X-Men 3" in May, and in order to avoid hitting the box office of this movie, I plan to put it in early June." ”

"Early June?" Sophia looked at Natalie, "I remember Scarlett saying that DreamWorks' "Escape from Clone Island" seems to be on this schedule. ”

"That's right." Natalie took her cup and nodded in agreement, "Second weekend in June." ”

"Then we'll pick the first weekend of June."

As the hottest summer file, it is the time when commercial blockbusters are released, of course, Ryan has to pick the softest persimmon to pinch, "I'll notify Kate and Disney Pictures when I go back." ”

"Why don't you push it back to August?" Sophia was obviously not confident, and said with a frown, "This is Michael?" Bei and DreamWorks work together to create a super masterpiece, and I'm worried about ......"

"No, no, no...... Ryan shook his finger, "Sophia, it's them who should be worried, not us. ”

"Scarlett would be sad if you said that." Natalie pursed her lips and smiled.

It's just a joke, and she knows that as long as Ryan is still in Hollywood, these friends around him will never be short of opportunities.

"We're targeting teens and women with this film." Ryan felt six points full, and simply put down the knife and fork, "You may not have noticed, the sales of the original novel are second only to "The Da Vinci Code" so far, and we have gathered a group of the best young actors in Hollywood today, as long as the publicity is in place, the box office will definitely not be a problem." ”

"You have so much faith in me?" Sofia? Coppola's brow gradually loosened.

Shrugged his shoulders elegantly, Ryan didn't say anything more, he had seen some of the samples cut out by Sophia, and the effect was not bad, at least not worse than the one in his previous life, on the basis of ensuring the most basic quality, how to do a good job in marketing is the key to the success of this series.

And the last thing Disney lacks is the experience of promoting its work among teenage and female audiences.

Although the final release time has not yet been determined, Disney's promotional plan has already begun, and behind the high sales of the original novel is the result of Ryan and Disney's operation, and with the end of filming, many props in the movie are also being commoditized, and various peripheral licensing negotiations are also ahead.

Ryan's goal is simple, to recoup costs at the box office as much as possible, and to use the peripherals to make a profit.

Of all Hollywood movies to date, there are three series with the best peripheral development, George? Lucas's Star Wars, Ryan's Jurassic Park and the Harry Potter series.

For these films, the screening of the theater is more like promotion, and almost all of the places that really bring huge profits are in the surrounding industries.

The trio's conversation has always revolved around the film industry.

I heard Nate say...... "Sophia? Coppola held the waiter's newly delivered black tea and asked Ryan, "Are you going to restart Jurassic Park?" ”

"Waiting for Stephen."

After taking Natalie's coffee with sugar and milk on it, Ryan took a sip and continued, "It's going to be half a year at the earliest, and I'm going to use 3D technology to make zuò." ”

"Pull the audience into the theater with dinosaurs in front of you?" Natalie tasted the black tea, probably thinking it was not to the taste, so she simply exchanged it for coffee from Ryan and asked, "Aren't you going to switch to IMAX?" ”

"Absolutely." Ryan put her stuffed black tea on the table, "I want to use this film to promote IMAX3D theaters." ”

"It's a pity that these are almost of little help to literary films." Sofia? Coppola put down the teacup and looked at the time, "It's not early, let's go." ”

"Tomorrow weekend."

Out of the cafeteria, as he walked towards the parking lot, Ryan said, "Is there any arrangement?" ”

"Rest." Sophia pointed to the faintly visible dark circles under the light of the streetlight, "Take off all the pressure and sleep." ”

"I've invited Sophia."

Natalie took Ryan around and reminded her, "She thinks it's easier to relax by hiding at home than by going to Utah." ”

"...... so"

As they walked to the front of the car, Sophia looked at them and raised her voice slightly and asked, "Is the script you prepared for Nat complete?" ”

"So we're going to look at the location."

Looking at the paparazzi looming outside the parking lot, Ryan opened the Rolls-Royce door for Natalie, "We're going to go to the field first, and then we're going to form the crew." ”

"By the way, I used the weekend to go over there." Natalie added.

"Good luck to you."

Waved your hand at this side, Sophia? Coppola got into his car, and the black Cadillac was the first to leave the parking lot.

"Let's go too."

With a gentle slap on Natalie, Ryan followed her into the car as the Rolls-Royce drove towards North Hollywood.

"Are you ready?"

As the car entered Laurier Valley Drive, Natalie looked through the window and saw a store selling field equipment on the side of the road and asked Ryan, "We're going to camp in the wilderness." ”

"All the gear, all the food." Ryan simply took a folded list out of his pocket and handed it to Natalie, "Including the satellite phone, it was delivered to the plane in the afternoon." ”

Natalie casually skimmed through the list and returned it to Ryan, "Where's the script?" I haven't seen the script yet. ”

"I put the physical version in the buggy." Ryan tapped his forehead, "I've sent the electronic version to your encrypted mailbox." ”

Back at Natalie's villa, Ryan told John to connect with the people who had rushed to Utah first and not to miss the pick-up time tomorrow.

"Only be well prepared." As she dragged Natalie towards the villa, Ryan said to her, "Only then will the possibility of accidents be minimized." ”

It's a geologically complex area, and Ryan doesn't want Aaron? What happened to Ruston happened to their group.

"By the way, what about Alison?"

After entering the villa, Ryan realized that his dear sister had not come, "I told her to come here today, and then we will leave together tomorrow." ”

"Gone to Scarlett." Natalie gestured with her chin in the direction of Scarlett's house, "She called me and was going to sleep with Scarlett at night." (To be continued......)
