Chapter 596: Spider-Man's First Girlfriend
Things are completely different from what Ryan imagined, Natalie just came over with a friend, and the person who was going to the crew was Gail? Add.
The three of them said as they walked towards Studio 133.
"Remember what I mentioned?"
Gail? Gado has a cheerful personality and talks about the purpose of coming here, "My agent got me an audition opportunity, this time, but he left California temporarily for some reasons, and I only have Nat, a friend here, so I had to ask her to come with me." ”
"Can you guess what movie?" Natalie took Ryan in her arms and laughed.
"What movie?" Ryan couldn't help but frown as he recalled Warner Bros.' recent investment.
According to the calculation of time, it should not be the one where Nat became a bald girl, although the copyright of "V for Vendetta" belongs to DC Comics, but the last time I met the Wachowski brothers, I didn't hear them mention the adaptation.
"Troy" and "Alexander the Great" have already been launched, and they must be removed.
In that case, there aren't many answers left.
"Superman Returns?" Ryan asked rhetorically, he shook his head first, the director of this movie is still filming "X-Men" for Surprise, "It can't be "Wonder Woman", right?" ”
"That's right." Natalie ended up with next to Gail? Gado whispered, "But there is no reward." ”
Ryan's eyes couldn't help but pass over to Natalie and land on the Jewish girl on the other side, who was too different from Princess Diana in the comics.
The most typical is the chest, although the other party is not an airport, but it is not much different, although the two straight long legs will definitely attract countless viewers if they are changed into Wonder Woman's robes, but they are too slender......
There are also arms, which are basically muscular, judging by the action of lifting and falling from the upper arms.
Well...... The long hair that is almost black and the heroism on the delicate face are a bit of an advantage.
The question is. Can the audience in North America really accept a Princess Diana who is not a big breasts and a plump buttocks?
Forget it, it's just an audition, and she may not be able to get the role.
Ryan shook his head, it was Warner's choice, he didn't bother to care about these things.
"Ryan, how did you get time to come?"
As soon as he walked to the Warner Bros. studio, Ryan met an acquaintance, Grant? Hill strode over, shook his hand vigorously, and said with a smile. "I also hit the idea of the CIA, but it was preempted."
"It's you who are too slow." Ryan knew it was just a joke and casually asked, "Are you the producer of Wonder Woman?" ”
"That's right."
He nodded, with Natalie and Gail? Gado greeted and made a gesture of please, "Let's talk inside." ”
Although it is the owner of Disney who came, there are many collaborations between the two sides, and this kind of movie has nothing to keep secret from insiders. Several people walked all the way through the studio where the scenery was being set up and walked into the temporary office area of the crew.
There were several auditioning actresses waiting here, and Ryan also saw a few familiar faces but didn't say anything. Just walked into an office.
Unexpectedly, the director is also an acquaintance, Tim, the director of "Batman"? Burton.
After a few casual greetings on both sides, the personality director walked out to prepare for the audition. It's a tedious job, and although there aren't many actors auditioning, they're all candidates who are determined after the first round. Most likely it will last into the evening.
"Thank you."
Ryan took the coffee from his assistant and casually looked at the makeshift office. Behind Gardo's sitting, there are several huge posters that appear to be concept drawings of Princess Diana.
Presumably interested in seeing Ryan, Grant? Hill said simply, "We've made some changes to the original comic book image, especially Princess Diana's suit, which has been specially added in addition to her tiara, bracelet and rope. ”
The concept art of Wonder Woman is not wearing a star-striped suit, but a battle armor and boots similar to those of the ancient Greek gods.
"You're going international?" Ryan roughly understood Warner's intentions.
"The American imprint of Wonder Woman in the comics is too deep." Grant? Hill sighed, "Now the profitability of overseas markets is better than that of North America. ”
This can be regarded as an inevitable choice for the market, Ryan understands this, if it is not for the right timing, "Captain America" may not be much stronger than in the previous life.
"Miss Gado, you can go to the audition......"
There's a knock on the door and a staff member walks in, Gail? Gado beckoned to a few people and walked out generously.
"Your friend?"
When there are no outsiders, Grant? Hill asked, "Hmm...... I remember the first audition when she looked very good. ”
"My friend." Natalie smiled at him.
Ryan didn't say much, even if he didn't speak, just appearing here would add a lot of points to Natalie's friend.
"Ryan, feel free to do so."
Grant? Hill looked at the time, Ryan nodded and made a gesture of please, and the other party left the office, presumably to host the audition.
"They even invited me." Natalie said, holding her coffee cup.
"Don't you think that's very sexy?" Ryan pointed to the CG-designed poster behind her, "Honey, this is one of the Big Three of Justice. ”
"Not interested."
Natalie didn't mean to look back at all, and when she saw Ryan about to pick up the coffee cup, she hurriedly took it, "It's already cold." ”
She got up and poured the cold coffee into the trash, picked up the coffee pot on the table, refilled it for Ryan, handed it over, and continued the topic, "Didn't you have a series ready for me, why did you choose Warner's work?" ”
"yes, if you want, my dear, there are tons of superheroes for you to choose from." Ryan took a sip of his coffee, "Nat, if you have time, find an archer instructor." ”
"Well, Pat is in contact with me." She nodded vigorously.
After the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy, Natalie didn't want to take on commercial films, but this character was almost designed for her by Ryan, and it is not the kind of embellishment heroine, this series is completely built around her, she will be the absolute protagonist, and the other characters are all supporting roles.
From a certain point of view, this is a women's film with feminist overtones, which is also what Natalie is more excited about.
Since the publication of "The Hunger Games", it has borrowed Ryan's name and the publisher's vigorous promotion, and has been sought after by teenagers, although it is far less fanatical than "Harry Potter", but it has successively won the top of the North American bestseller list, becoming one of the hottest commercial novels in the past two years.
Many studios have taken a fancy to this series of novels that is only the beginning, but they can only stare helplessly, everyone knows that Ryan owns half of the copyright of the novel, and at the same time with Susan? If Collins signs an agreement, he will never transfer the film rights.
However, the novel will not be adapted into a movie anytime soon.
At the moment, in addition to a few series in the continuation, Walt Disney and Twentieth Century Fox have put the film adaptation of "The Lion, the Witch and the Enchanted Wardrobe" on the agenda, and although it will still be a big production, Ryan has specifically told him to pay attention to the cost control.
The production cost of the film is not as horrific as the $180 million in the previous life, and the temporary budget is only $100 million, and the two companies will add it later depending on the situation.
Similarly, Time Warner will not let go of the magic series, its new line of pictures has obtained the rights to "The Golden Compass", and is preparing to create a super magical epic series comparable to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter".
New Line Pictures was acquired by Warner as early as 1993, and after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is gone, it is still ambitious.
The only thing that makes Ryan strange is that New Line Pictures actually chose Chris for this magical series? As a director, although he produced the "American Pie" series for Jenkins Films, he received a good response, but he is a standard vulgar, pee and fart director......
About an hour later, Gail? Gado returned to the office.
"How's the audition going?"
As a few people said goodbye and walked out of the studio, Natalie asked with concern, "When will you get an accurate answer?" ”
"Next week."
Gail? Gado took Natalie's arm and said happily, "Great! Both the director and the producer were very happy with me. ”
She looked at Ryan, "Do you guys have time?" I'm in for a treat in the evening! ”
Natalie saw Ryan nodding before she said, "Okay, where are you going to have a treat?" ”
"There's a new Mr. Chou restaurant in North Hollywood." Gail? Seeing that Ryan stopped, Gado also quickly stopped and whispered, "Let's go there and eat Chinese food." ”
Nodding, Natalie looked this way.
Ryan met an acquaintance, and since the other party took the initiative to extend his hand, he had to stop and say hello.
"Dallas, you're also here for the audition?" The other party came out of Warner's studio.
"It's not." Bryce? Howard shook his head, "I came with a friend, she was in the mirror interview, and I went out for a walk by myself." ”
She suddenly smiled, "Actually, I just auditioned for 'Spider-Man' last month and got a major role. ”
"Oh, which character?" Ryan asked with interest.
"Gwen? Stacy. ”
Her phone rang, and she made an apologetic gesture to Ryan, waiting for Ryan to nod before she walked away and picked up the phone.
Ryan walked over to Natalie again, summoned an electric car, and when the three of them got on, he said, "That's Lang?" Howard's daughter. ”
"Well, I've seen it before." Passing by a few studio breaks, Natalie looked at the sun moving to the west, "I remember she starred in 'Apollo XIII' and 'How the Glenich Stole Christmas.'" ”
"Coming to play Peter? Parker's first girlfriend. Ryan said.
"Gwen? Stacy? (To be continued......)
