The Best Entertainment Era

What's going on with Marvel? Ronan asked strangely: Didn't I tell them before? It will take a few years for me to advance the superhero movie project.

Robert Lee explained: Marvel executives, including Avi Arad, saw the internal test screening held by Sony Columbia Pictures for Spider-Man, and most people believed that this film would be successful. Want more success to help them get out of their current predicament.

Ronan thought about it for a while, and said, You tell Avi Arad that we won't be able to plan a superhero movie project until 2004 at the earliest.

Planning does not mean starting preparations. It is normal for top-level big-budget films to take a year or two from planning to preparation.

Robert Lee said: Okay, there shouldn't be a big problem there. He added: Marvel Comics is also eyeing 20th Century Fox and wants 20th Century Fox to speed up the progress of the X-Men series.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, You also pay attention to the X-Men project of 20th Century Fox.

Robert Lee responded, Okay.

Ronan confessed a few more words, and when Robert Lee left, he turned on his computer, logged on to the Internet, and checked the news about 20th Century Fox and the X-Men series.

X-Men 2 won't be released until 2003.

This series is also extremely valuable, but it is a pity that Marvel Comics sold the copyright to Twentieth Century Fox a long time ago.

It is almost impossible to get the copyright back from 20th Century Fox.

The benefits of this series are huge.

Think about the fact that 20th Century Fox almost used a model in its previous life to turn the X-Men over and over and shoot so many movies. In order to make money, they did not hesitate to create emotional effects and let Uncle Wolf hang up...

I remember a colleague once summed up the stories of the two X-Men series before and after, which seemed very reasonable.

A group of people are always divided into two factions because of one incident to fight life and death, and they are always demonstrating heroic abilities. If they are not careful enough, they can destroy the world if they are not careful. In fact, no one can be handsome once in a fight; Professor X is always there Making mistakes, being caught, being used, Magneto will always be a shit stick. After a big meal, he always thinks he is self-righteous and compassionate. God is so unfair to him as a mutant. The whole world owes him trillions of dollars...

Then all mutants will ignore Magneto's willful standing in line,

And the havoc it brought, after doing the exact opposite of peace, he was still identified as one of us countless times.

Ronan didn't watch Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix, mainly because the Three Idiots' version of the Phoenix is ​​really strong and scary, so he is a person who often looks at his face to order food, and he has no desire to consume.

No way, sometimes the external image of an actor can really determine the audience's choice. For example, Ronan not only doesn't like Three Silly Dark Phoenix, but as a person who has watched every Marvel superhero movie in theaters, he will not buy it. Tickets to support menstruating aunts.

As soon as the trailer for the menstrual aunt in the previous life came out, he felt that he would withdraw from the ranks of viewers of Marvel movies from now on.

Perhaps at that time, Marvel's selection of actors first focused on affinity, and then on body and face.

With the copyrights of so many superheroes in Marvel's hands, Ronan is not in a hurry. The best era of superhero movies has not yet begun. The two series of Spider-Man and X-Men can open up more for latecomers. market space.

Anyway, in the next two years, there will be many superhero movies going to the minefield on this road.

Early the next morning, after Ronan convened a meeting with the key managers of Sandsea Entertainment, Lindsay Bill came over.

Hi, Ronan. Lindsay Bill sat behind the desk with the text in her arms.

Ronan glanced at it and asked, Why, the first draft of the script was completed so quickly?

Lindsay Bill put the text in front of Ronan and said, Yes. She muttered in a voice that Ronan could hear: That Miss Anne Hathaway calls me at least twice a day to remind me I speed up the script writing process.

Ronan said directly: You don't need to consider her opinion, you can write whatever you want, as long as the character setting is like her is enough.

I understand. Lindsay Bill showed a delicate smile and said, I am not influenced by her. All the creations are done according to the existing plan submitted to you before.

Ronan nodded slightly, and said, I'm very assured of your creative level.

In any case, I have cooperated with Lindsay Bill for three films, and I know Lindsay Bill's ability quite well.

You read the script first. Lindsay - Bill said.

Ronan opened the text and found that it was not only the script, but also a lot of character drawings, all of which were sketches, with a delicate and elegant style, which should be made by women.

He flipped through it quickly, and there were more than 20 drawings, which occupied a considerable thickness. In fact, the script was less than half of the overall thickness of the document.

Did you draw the artwork? Ronan asked.

Lindsay-Bill replied: Yes, I drew it. She explained: You asked me to design the heroine according to Miss Anne-Hathaway. I got an inspiration. The characters have a more intuitive and three-dimensional image. It is conducive to script creation, so I deliberately drew these drawings before writing the script story.

Ronan let go of the draft, looked at the script, and said at the same time: The drawing is not bad, the top level among amateurs.

Lindsay Beal is a little proud: I practiced it when I was in school.

Ronan quickly glanced at the script, and found that it was similar to the previous outline, and the adaptation of the script was relatively large, which was also an inevitable choice for adapting the film.

The emotional part is good. Ronan pinched his chin and said, Several designs are very touching.

Lindsay-Bill once again showed a delicate smile: When I was in middle school and college, I made a few good friends. The descriptions in the relevant paragraphs in the book are too old-fashioned, and they are all things that students in the 1990s would do. , I discarded it, borrowed my own experience, and redesigned it.”

She was very thoughtful, and went further: When we were discussing the script outline through emails, you said that this film is a rich emotional feast, so I focused on the beauty and power of friendship, so that the audience can find their own. Shadow, will start the journey with these characters.

Ronan is positive: It's a good idea.

Inspired, Lindsay Beale added: The beauty and the beauty of the story is the truth, the first love, the first loss, the first tragedy faced, and all the humor and good times with friends in between. , this has happened to all of us.”

Ronan closed the script and said, The script needs to be streamlined. The length of the future film will be about 100 minutes. Your script is too long.

This is the first draft, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. He also said: Regarding the emotional part of the characters, remember one thing, don't be too sentimental, and don't put on airs. The main characters in the story have no villains, they are all vivid and ordinary. people.

Lindsay Beale, always active in her thinking, said, I see. Girly friendship doesn't need to be mixed with other impurities.

Ronan nodded: Yes, that's what it means.

Four adolescent girls who are facing separation, their emotions are conveyed in a pair of jeans, and they write the most beautiful story about friendship in their rebellious growth.

Lindsay-Bill seems to be talking to Ronan, the boss and producer, and more like saying to herself: Simple friendship and sweet youth, waiting for the chance to bring each other, creating a youthful and fresh Dreamy, drab summer vacations turned into fun.

While speaking, Lindsay Bill seemed to be touched, she stood up and walked around and said: Family, friendship and love, as well as the rendering of youth are seamless in the beautiful style, the story can always be emotional in the subtle things, such Youth is the envy of others, this is not only a film about friendship, it also tells the audience to believe that simple friendship will last forever.”

Ronan could hardly keep up with the female screenwriter's thinking speed. Lindsay-Bill seemed to be in a period of creative explosion, full of ideas.

That's a good thing for the movie, and Ronan, as producer, got his nod to get the script approved.

Lindsay Bill looked at Ronan and asked, Is this okay?

Ronan said directly: Lindsay, according to what I said and your ideas, continue to improve the script without being disturbed by others. You are solely responsible for the script of this project.

Okay. Lindsay Bill was immediately mobilized: After the revision is completed, I will send it to you as soon as possible.

Ronan nodded: Yes. He urged again: You have to calm down, there is plenty of time.

The project Summer of Jeans will only be funded after the New Year. The crew has only confirmed the producer, screenwriter, and lead actress. Other actors and positions need to be recruited. The official start will not be until February at the earliest. preparations.

After Lindsay Bill left, Ronan considered the cast of the four leading actresses. Except for Anne Hathaway, all others would choose newcomers.

This is not the point of consideration.

Among them, these four people are all white girls, and Ronan is considering whether to add actors of other skin colors.

According to the development trend of the future society, one Caucasian, one Latino, one African and one Asian is undoubtedly the best configuration. Especially African-Americans, if there is no African-American in a film like this with four heroines, wait for the blood to be sprayed all over your face.

Racist hats can absolutely crush people.

After careful consideration, Ronan gave up this idea. The current situation in Hollywood has not reached this level, and the movie also has the original work. Even if some people have some criticisms, it can be said that they respect the original work.

Next, let Shahai Entertainment issue an announcement to recruit relevant cast members.
