The Best Entertainment Era

Who was the heroine of the Hunger Games series? Because of the relationship with a certain door in Hollywood, Ronan remembers quite clearly. After all, too many people in China have seen those photos of the big cousin, and some of them are comparable in scale. Women Artists of the San Fernando Valley.

The eldest cousin seems to be born in the 1990s, and it is only 2007. Who knows where the eldest cousin drinks milk.

Ronan said: What advice do you have for casting Katniss?

George Clint thought for a while and said, There are many new actresses under CAA, and many of them are of good quality...Of course, our eyes don't have to be limited to CAA, we can hold a wide range of auditions at that time.

Ronan nodded slightly, this is also a good way.

Lindsay Beale chimed in at this point: I have an actor recommendation.

Tell me. Ronan knew that Lindsay Bill was a reliable person, and he would not recommend weird actors.

Lindsay Bill immediately said: In the second half of last year, CAA recommended a new actor to me, and wanted her to play a small role in Gossip Girl or other projects. Ronan, you know, We work closely with CAA on TV projects, so I met the actress and got her to audition for a role on Gossip Girl.

Ronan was not surprised by this. According to the good cooperative relationship between Relativity Entertainment and CAA, under the same conditions, the crew of Sand Sea Entertainment will definitely give priority to candidates from CAA.

Lindsay-Bill continued: Her acting skills are average, but above the basic level. The most important point is that Katniss has a lot of action scenes, which requires the actor to have a vigorous skill. This actress was born as a model and has experienced Professional physical training, and served in the Israeli army...

Hearing this, Ronan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and asked, Serving in the Israeli army? An Israeli?

Lindsay Beal replied, Yes, an Israeli called Gal Gadot.

After listening to the previous introduction, Ronan had some guesses, and he was not surprised by the name, and said: Well, since you are optimistic about her, keep in touch with her, and invite her after the Hunger Games crew is established. Audition for Katniss.

Lindsay Beale said, Okay.

George Clint has no objection to this. Most of the leading actors in the crew can finally win the audition, and most of the time it comes from the recommendation of the industry.

Even in many cases, the recommendation of qualified people in the industry is more important than the audition results.

The three-person meeting ended quickly. Ronan returned to the office and took time out to read the first draft of The Hunger Games that Lindsay Beale had completed.

Recently, with the help of the influence brought by the popularity of Twilight, The Hunger Games has rushed to the top five of the New York Times bestseller list. When Relativity Entertainment makes efforts to promote the movie, maybe There is also the possibility of rushing to the championship throne.

Although the plagiarism of Battle Royale on the island country has not stopped, the North American side has not been affected at all.

As long as the first film adaptation is successful, The Hunger Games will definitely be filmed as a film trilogy.

Since Robert Iger is in charge of the company's daily operations, Ronan's energy is still focused on film and television projects.

Ronan emailed Lindsay Beale about the Hunger Games script, which still needs polishing.

Afterwards, he began to approve the new projects submitted by Shahai Entertainment.

Most of them are sequel movies. Due to the previous successful precedents, it is natural for sequel projects to be approved.

In terms of new projects, Jeff Abrams has finished the post-production of Taken 3, and will officially transfer to the preparation of The Cloverfield Files after the vacation.

This alternative sci-fi film will be released next year.

With the completion of the Taken trilogy, the cooperation between Sandsea Entertainment and Liam Neeson has reached a new stage.

According to Ronan's request, Shahai Entertainment's screenwriting department took the outline he provided as a model and came up with a project script about rescue on a plane.

After Ronan read it, he was transferred to Liam Neeson, and the leading actor read the script first.

The veteran movie star's rescue journey has only entered the middle stage.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the project named Air Rescue by Ronan. Taken 3 will be released during the holidays this year, and the new rescue film will have an interval of one to two years.

If it is too frequent, it will also cause the audience to feel bored.

Needless to say, the Marvel superhero movie project under Relativity Entertainment is progressing steadily. The alternative superhero movie Kick-Ass, under the leadership of director and producer Matthew Vaughan, has reached the final stage of preparation .

Matthew Vaughn also submitted the latest report to Ronan, and the crew confirmed all the main actors. In the crucial audition for the heroine Super Killer, Chloe Moretz, who was one year older, appeared Siege, defeated many strong competitors including Dakota - Fanning, and finally got the role.

Ronan also watched an audition video of Chloe Moretz. When she was a child, Super Killer was really beautiful, cute and cute.

Who would have thought that Chloe Moretz would grow up like that.

And it's not a problem of serious obesity, but because of the natural skeleton, which is very difficult to handle.

In any case, Chloe Moretz was cute enough when she was a child.

The film will start shooting this year and will be released next year.

Unlike Marvel's superhero movies, Kick-Ass is bigger and bloodier.

Matthew Vaughn also plans to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment for a long time. After filming Kick-Ass, he plans to re-produce a new version of Kingsman.

That is, based on Mark Miller's re-creation of the comics based on the first film, and then made a film adaptation.

In order to attract investment from the Abu Dhabi consortium, the Ace Agent filmed and produced by Shahai Entertainment was not considered a success, but through Hollywood-style operations, the producer made a lot of profits.

This also laid the foundation for the establishment of Relativity Entertainment.

Now that there is an opportunity to re-adapt the filming, Ronan also intends to let Matthew Vaughn try it.

Now Hollywood agents are all becoming like Jason Bourne, a retro gentleman agent, but they will stand out from the crowd.

The wind direction of the film market is not static.

Moreover, the investment in this project will not be particularly high, at best it will only be a medium-to-high investment project.

After Ronan finished handling Shahai Entertainment's film and television projects, he carefully read Connie's latest list of literary works, including the New York Times bestseller list, as well as some novels and literary works that have received more attention recently.

In this catalog of literary works, Connie has marked all the works whose adaptation rights have been sold, including the transaction time and the purchaser's information.

With the current situation in Hollywood, once the copyright of the adaptation of a literary work falls into the hands of a medium or large film company, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to get it back.

So, Ronan first focused on works whose rights had not yet been sold.

It didn't take long for him to see a familiar name - Weakness: Game Progress.

The former Sandra Bullock was considered to be one of the best actresses since the Oscars entered the new century, and the film she won the best actress in a leading role was called The Weakness.

When Ronan saw the name of this documentary literature, he remembered the film, and still had a vague impression. Sandra Bullock seemed to have the same expression from the beginning to the end.

Once able to win the Oscar queen with this film, it is more about public relations and qualifications.

Ronan carefully read the relevant information of this literary work.

Weakness: The Progress of the Game was published in 2006. The author is Michael Lewis, a special writer of Vanity Fair, and a relatively well-known documentary writer in the United States.

Based on a true event, Michael Lewis tells the true story of star Mississippi State football tackle Michael Oher and his adoptive parents, the Tausi couple.

In the movie that Ronan once watched, I don’t remember the exact name of the actor in it, but I remember that he was a black man, and it was also about rugby.

Michael Oher is also black, a star player in the NCAA.

According to the relevant information collected by Connie, many NFL teams are very interested in Michael Oher.

Ronan is basically certain that this is where the film starring Sandra Bullock came from.

The vast majority of films that have won Oscar heavyweight awards are also realistic themes, and the most common ones are adaptations.

After confirming this, Ronan immediately sent Weakness: Game Progress and related materials to Robert Lee, asking his department to get the copyright as soon as possible.

Rugby is the most popular sport in North America, and NFL is the No. 1 professional sports league in the United States, killing other sports in seconds, so the theme of rugby is also the most marketable sports movie genre in North America.

Once a company notices Weakness: Game Progress, it is estimated that it will also be moved.

Michael Oher's experience is very out of work, and it also conforms to the mainstream value orientation of the family and the coexistence of black and white in the mainstream of American society.

If this year or next year, Michael Oher participates in the NFL draft and enters the NFL with a lower pick, it may attract more attention.

This kind of thing is really fast, and fast.

Robert Lee acted very quickly, and sent a special person to contact Michael Lewis the next day, but Michael Lewis was not a newcomer writer and had experience working in Vanity Fair and asked for a licensing fee of 5 million US dollars.

To shoot this kind of movie, not only do you need to obtain the copyright for the adaptation, but because there are all real people, you must at least obtain the authorization of Michael Oher himself and the Tao Xi family, otherwise it will be quite troublesome later.

It was not until before the Oscars that Relativity Entertainment negotiated the project, which cost a total of 6 million US dollars and basically obtained all relevant authorizations.

However, this project will not be put on the agenda immediately, at least until Michael Oher enters the NFL.

At the end of February, the award season reached its final masterful stage - the 79th Academy Awards!
