Alcatraz is full of people, the filming of the crew is still going on, this is obviously not the place to talk about things, Ryan and they returned to San Francisco, went directly to the hotel where the crew stayed, and communicated with the self-recommended director in the café on the ground floor.

Melodious and soothing music fluttered, there were not many people in the café, Ryan took Charlize's coffee with sugar and milk, took a sip, and looked at the middle-aged blonde man opposite.

Middle-aged people are not strangers, maybe they are famous now, but they were famous in their previous lives, and the two sides have met a few times before.

"Ryan, I saw the script outline from Drew......"

He said, of course, the clips Ryan sent out, "Frankly, I think I'm a perfect fit for this movie." ”

This is North America, and self-recommendation is not in vogue for modesty.

"George, your schedule ......" Ryan remembered that the guy seemed to be filming "ER Story."

"There is no problem with the schedule." George? "Actually, the next season has already been filmed. ”

Presumably to strengthen his persuasive powers, he continued, "Ryan, I wonder if you've seen Confessions of a Dangerous Thought, which Flower Pictures invested in? ”

"Drew's new movie?" Ryan listened to Drew not long ago? Barrymore had spoken of it, but hadn't seen it, "Sorry, I haven't had time to see it yet." ”

"I heard you're a director?" He buckled the table with interest.

"Yes." George? Clooney nodded, "This is my debut in terms of film. ”

Although I haven't seen it, Ryan has heard Drew mention it, after all, he is still the majority shareholder of Flower Pictures, not to mention the quality of the movie, George? Clooney's eloquence and communicative skills are extraordinary, and he managed to convince Julia? Roberts lowered his salary to $25,000. Damon and Brad? Pete joined in friendship. Nothing to be given.

In particular, it can make Drew, a stingy investor, willingly pay $30 million for his debut.

"Can you tell me what you think?" Ryan asked seriously.

"I just saw the outline of the script and part of the draft of the memoir at Drew." George? Clooney knew his chance had come, "I can only say my general thoughts based on this part. ”

"Hmm."

After Ryan's nod, George? Clooney organized the language a little and talked about his opinion of "Argo": "This is an American patriotic film, and it is also a film that is typical of individual heroism. ”

He saw the smile on Ryan's lips, and his confidence seemed to grow, "We don't care what role the CIA and the federal government played in the Iran incident. As long as the cause and effect are briefly explained, the perspective of the movie is placed on Antonio? In Mr. Mendez, he is a hero! We just used artistic techniques to put this rescue incident on the screen, in which the good guys and bad guys, enemies and friends are clearly distinguished. ”

"The film is about the late 70s and early 80s, and I think it's best to use the style of the 70s film, and even the cinematography should have the feeling of that era, and if you can find historical footage at that time, you can cut some appropriately."

The index finger slowly clasped the tabletop. Ryan thought for a moment and said, "That's it, George. After the script is completed, I will have someone pass you a complete copy and ......"

"I understand." George? Clooney laughed.

He knew that Ryan had put himself in the ranks of the official candidates, and there was even a good chance that he would get the opportunity to take the helm.

Send George away? Clooney. After a brief dinner, Ryan and Charlize went back to their suite here.

While taking a shower, Ryan considered the candidate he had just introduced himself. In addition to his lack of directorial resume, his point of view is indeed very suitable for "Argo", if David? If Finch and the others don't hear back by then, it may not be an option to use him.

In his previous life, the other party also directed several excellent works.

Strictly speaking, the United States has not yet encountered a series of attacks on embassies, and this movie is not the best time, and of course it is not bad, after all, it is a patriotic movie full of the flavor of the main theme.

"Hey, Charlie, why are you so fast."

Soaking in the bathtub, when Ryan was thinking about these things, Charlize had already washed off the foam on her body, and she waved her hand, "You go on, it's a little stuffy here, I'll go out first." ”

"No problem." Ryan propped up his body and looked at the South African diamond rubbing his body with concern, Charlize shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's really just a little stuffy." ”

With that, she put on her pajamas, beckoned to Ryan, and walked out of the bathroom.

After grooming her hair a little, she walked out onto the balcony, and with the flip of a switch, the white light fell like snowflakes on the two high-backed wicker chairs, and Charlize took a few books on fashion design, sat on one of them, and looked through them intently.

From the day she stood by Ryan's side, Charlize has been constantly enriching herself, and she never wanted to be a simple vase, especially when there were other comparisons.

Although he won the Oscar, Charlize also understands that when it comes to acting career, he is definitely not as good as Nicole? Kidman, and another Natalie? Portman, who is said to have developed into a director, even came out with his first director's short film.

What about your own future? Although she has now become a Hollywood first-line actress, what about other aspects of her career? You can't be completely compared to others, right?

Although with Ryan's character, even if she doesn't do anything in the future, she will still live freely.

After the Oscars, Charlize thought of her own advantages, her experience as a model, she has a unique experience in fashion, and she has gradually gained the reputation of the queen of the red carpet in recent years, so why can't she use her current fame and Ryan's media resources to create her own fashion brand?

Even Paris? Hilton, the guy who likes to mess around, has her brand, and he can't be worse than her, right?

The other party is backed by the Hilton Group, but he also has Ryan's support.

Since the first half of the year, she has picked up a fashion career again in her spare time, and has also sought advice from professionals.

"What are you doing, my dear?"

Knocking on the balcony door, Ryan walked up behind Charlize, took the book in her hand and flipped through it, and returned it, "Do you need me to hire some teachers from Europe for you?" ”

"You're not familiar with the fashion industry yet." Charlize pulled him into a chair next to him, "When you need help, you're not welcome." ”

"You don't have to do this kind of thing yourself." Ryan sat crooked in his chair, took Charlize's hand, and gently pinched the knuckles on it, "Hire a few great designers, and then use your fame to make a ......"

"I'm doing it as a future business, my dear." Charlize looked at this side very seriously, Ryan picked up her hand and kissed it, "Okay, Charlie, you just do what you want." ”

This kind of thing only needs support, and Ryan can roughly guess Charlize's mind, and women can never avoid comparing each other, so let them be happy.

Of course, he knows that this is Charlize's future plan, and at this stage she will still focus on movies.

"What do you think of George? Is Clooney the right person? ”

Charlize put the book aside and asked about the people he had met before dinner, "I've seen his 'Confessions of a Dangerous Thought', and it's pretty good in general except for some problems at the end." ”

"It depends." Ryan looked into the distance, and vaguely seemed to be able to see the lights on the Golden Gate Bridge, "The script is not finished yet." ”

Ryan had only roughly written the beginning of the script, and after returning to Los Angeles from San Francisco, his main focus was on the script for Argo, trying to complete it as much as possible, and then pushing the project into the formal preparation stage.

Shortly after he returned, Martin? Scorsese and Stephen? Soderbergh responded, with both declining Ryan's offer, the former preparing "The Aviator," and the latter believing that the script outline was too entertaining and inconsistent with his style.

Subsequently, George? On the basis of getting more information, Clooney came to the door several times and took the initiative to communicate with Ryan, and some of his views were recognized by Ryan quite Cheng Dù, and he gradually regarded this guy as the first candidate.

As we entered September, Ryan finally made up his mind to determine that George? Clooney is the director of "Argo" and has the guy fully involved in the preparations that have already begun.

"These are all materials sent by the CIA."

In an archive room at the heavily guarded Disney headquarters, Ryan is George? Clooney pointed to several large cardboard boxes, "They are all non-public information, and they can't be taken out of this room, so ......"

Ryan patted him on the shoulder, "George, this will be your office for a while to come." ”

"Where's the script?" Is this George? Clooney's primary concern.

"Soon you will receive the full version of the script." Ryan said as he walked outside, "You can contact Ms. Stewart for specific preparations. ”

This movie can't catch up with this year's schedule anyway, and Ryan is not in a hurry, there is still more than a year to go, and for such a small production, there is a lot of time.

With Ryan's large self-cut salary, the production cost of "Argo" is only $35 million. Clooney is an absolute newcomer to the ranks of directors, and he has not yet developed the habit of spending lavishly on those famous directors.

Looks like George? Clooney's acting skills are also good, so he can also play an important supporting role, and other actors try to find actors who have been in the mix for many years but are not too famous, and controlling the cost is a must. (To be continued......)
