Chapter 37 Touchstone (Asking for Collections, Recommended Votes, and Adding Book Lists)
Scarlett Johansson Jr. is playing against an actress, learning how to act for a while, and she looks very serious.
Monica Bellucci flipped through the script in her hand, glanced at Scarlett Johansson Jr., and asked with some surprise, "Where did Helen get the little actress?"
"It seems very spiritual, and very serious. ”
The biggest headache in Hollywood is not the big-name stars or the members of the $20 million club, but the small actors and the equally difficult animal actors.
A young actor with spirituality and a very serious attitude will definitely not lack opportunities in Hollywood.
Except, of course, the longer it is, the more disabled it is.
Helen knew her mother, a well-known Jewish producer. Ryan didn't hide it.
To let Scarlett Johansson Jr. join the crew, he is naturally a little proud.
Even if the other party is still a little girl who is less than ten years old, her ability to enter the state is faster than that of some adults, as if she was born to be an actor.
At least you don't have to worry about finding a suitable young actor in the future, maybe when Scarlett Johansson grows up, she can invest in Sophia to shoot "Lost in Translation" in advance.
He didn't want to be just a director, and it was necessary to invest in other films.
"Jewish producers?"
A hint of envy flashed across Monica Bellucci's face and said, "Enviable origin." ”
Don't underestimate the influence of Jews in Hollywood, even if it's not a well-known producer, he still has a lot of connections.
For example, the famous Steven Spielberg, one of the three giants of Future DreamWorks, is a Jewish, and there are a large number of Jews in major film companies, distribution companies, media companies, and even Wall Street, bank executives, etc.
DreamWorks Studios was founded in October 1994, which means that DreamWorks has not yet been founded.
What's more, the Jewish circle is notoriously united and likes to help Jewish newcomers, otherwise Gal Gadot would not have developed so smoothly in Hollywood in his previous life.
"Jewish circles have always been like that. Ryan smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
is the Monica Bellucci in front of her, there are some regrets in her previous life, there is nothing special about her background, and her famous work "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was only invested by an Italian film company, and the North American box office was not very ideal, only more than 14 million US dollars.
Of course, as a distribution company, Miramax Pictures can still make a lot of money, but I don't know if Harvey Weinstein has paid attention to her!
According to Harvey Weinstein's rumors, he should not let go of the delicious taste that has come to his mouth.
However, Monica Bellucci does not seem to have been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, and probably did not bother Harvey Weinstein.
Almost all the men in Europe have been captivated by her, and the recognized goddess, even Harvey Weinstein, does not dare to use force casually.
The biggest possibility is that Monica Bellucci has no plans to mix in Hollywood again at all, so naturally ignore him,
As for Harvey Weinstein's reputation, there is no need to say much, domineering, lustful, liar, strong, etc., there are countless nouns that can be summed up.
Fortunately, Ryan didn't have to deal with him.
"Is Saw or is it released by Twentieth Century Fox?" asked Monica Bellucci
She knew that Ryan's last film was released by Twentieth Century Fox, that he had registered a studio, and that he had invested in both films alone.
A film distributed by seven major film companies is very different from a film distributed by small and medium-sized distribution companies.
Monica Bellucci, who has been in Hollywood for a while, naturally knows the difference.
Faced with Monica Bellucci's question, Ryan smiled and said, "Who knows!"
"Before the film is released, no one can be sure. ”
"Of course, I would like to continue to have Twentieth Century Fox as the publisher, after all, the last time we worked together was very pleasant. ”
The previous film was a wholly owned buyout of the rights, and "Saw Horror" naturally can't be like this.
But it was definitely not an easy task to negotiate with Twentieth Century Fox about distribution.
When Monica Bellucci heard Ryan's words, she couldn't help but hesitate slightly, and whispered, "Mr. Carter Eisner, I want to see you." ”
If it weren't for Carter Eisner, who was the decision-maker of the touchstone, and the touchstone, which was Disney's distribution company, she really didn't want to bother with that.
Carter Eisner!
"Disney's Touchstone Pictures?"
Ryan was slightly stunned, then took a deep look at Monica Bellucci, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, there is really no simple actress who can mix in Hollywood.
"Yes. Monica Bellucci nodded, her expression a little reluctant.
"I can't wait to see Mr. Carter-Eisner. ”
Ryan retracted his gaze and said lightly: "When the filming of "Chainsaw" is over, I will definitely go to meet Mr. Carter Eisner in person." ”
There are never any secrets in Hollywood, whether it's the big hit of the last film or the preparation and shooting of "Chainsaw", it's hard to hide from everyone, let alone Disney, one of the seven major studios.
Of course, if you can get in touch with the touchstone, Ryan will naturally not refuse, but now is not the time.
The reason is simple, he is now working with Twentieth Century Fox, and he will not approach Touchstone unless Twentieth Century Fox explicitly refuses to share the distribution.
He didn't want to offend one of Hollywood's seven major studios for some reason.
To put it bluntly, Twentieth Century Fox can reject Ryan, but Ryan has no qualifications to reject Twentieth Century Fox, unless Twentieth Century Fox gives conditions that far exceed his bottom line.
In fact, Litmus Test is not the first, several small distribution companies have already contacted Helen, but there has been no further contact.
"Alright, keep shooting. Ryan stood up, not wanting to continue the conversation, "Next time there is something like this, you can just tell Helen." ”
In this regard, Monica Bellucci could only smile bitterly, in the face of the touchstone like a behemoth, she did not dare to refuse, she could only say it head-on, and she might even offend Ryan because of it.
As for Helen!
Maybe it would be better with Helen, but the end result is the same.
The footage taken at the moment is the scene where Scarlett Johansson Jr. is with her parents, and there are not many shots.
Ryan personally controlled the camera, filming Scarlett Johansson Jr., whose acting skills have been improving, and deliberately gave her a few more shots.
Scarlett Johansson Jr. is young, but her acting skills are a little better than Edward Norton.
Much to Edward Norton's embarrassment, he couldn't show any indiscretion in the face of a little girl who was less than ten years old, and could only keep comforting himself.
Ryan's shooting was very casual and not professional at all, and many people in the crew thought that he was messing around, and he could let the photographer operate it, but he had to do it himself.
However, when she was free, Sophia walked over and took a look, and found that Ryan's shots were very accurate, his hands were as steady as Tarzan, and the picture was extremely clear.
"Very good technology. ”
Sofia Coppola showed a hint of surprise and secretly glanced at Ryan, with a hint of frustration in her heart, Ryan's shooting skills turned out to be much better than her.
You must know that she is from an acting family, but Ryan has only shot a pseudo-documentary, using a hand-cranked camera.
There are not many scenes in the apartment, and the filming has ended in less than half a day, and the crew needs to change the venue.
Except for some minor problems at the beginning of shooting, the rest of the time was quite smooth, much faster than Ryan's expected shooting progress, and in just eight days, more than half of the shots had been shot.
At this rate, it is expected that the crew will be completed in five days.
