The Best Entertainment Era

As early as 1996, the game Life and Death was already on the market. The generation who grew up playing arcade machines are very familiar with Life and Death and have a certain nostalgic complex.

Life and Death Fight even became a WCG project in e-sports.

These are the basis for adapting the film.

As for the famous breast shaker and other elements that are the selling point of the game, they can also become the selling point of the movie adaptation.

Some people have said that in the game Life and Death, the most striking game element is the breast shake design.

These have provided countless materials for various page game advertisements across the Pacific Ocean.

Uwe Ball's film adaptation will surely continue to evolve with the aim of being sexy and violent.

The difficult physical movement of breast shaking will also be reflected in the movie, which has a very high lethality to the house.

The production budget of Life and Death is as high as $7 million, which also created the highest record since Uwe Bauer directed it.

This is also determined by the market.

Uwe Ball's first two films, House of the Dead and Dungeon Siege, collectively generated tens of millions of dollars in profits for Relativity Entertainment online and offline.

Vampire Ryan, which has completed all filming and production, will also be released this year. Uwe Ball is using his popularity and favorable conditions such as Netflix sharing to vigorously promote the promotion of the film.

After Iron Fist Film Critic, Uwe Ball has always been an Internet celebrity. Coupled with the promotion of Relativity Entertainment's investment of resources behind the scenes, Brother Bao can be said to be a veritable Internet celebrity director.

To exaggerate, Brother Bao can be called the first Internet celebrity director.

The world has changed since the widespread use of the Internet. In the past, many people and things that were reviled by others can attract the attention of countless people, and some people are willing to become their fans.

The Internet economy of the entertainment industry is also developing step by step.

Ronan occasionally thought of Brother Bao, and had a guess. Under the influence of his wings, would there be that kind of super traffic star in Hollywood?

We can only wait and see.

I have communicated with Uwe Ball about Life and Death Combat\

,"When Ronan was about to leave, he saw an acquaintance among the actors waiting for the audition.

Uwe Ball is going to use model-type actors to play the main female roles. Most of the actors waiting for the audition on the spot have the experience of models or professional model training.

Candice Swanepoel is one of them.

Just after she came out of the audition room, still thinking about her performance in the first audition, she saw Ronan.

Compared with many daring actresses, Candice Swanepoel has just entered the industry and appears very reserved and cautious, just smiling at Ronan.

Ronan waited for her to come, and said hello, Hi, Candice, I didn't expect to meet you here.

Candice Swanepoel smiled softly and spoke softly: Hello, Ronan.

This is not a place to talk, there are many people looking over.

Ronan walked out first, and Candice Swanepoel glanced back at the place where the manager was, and walked forward with Ronan.

Are you here for the audition? Ronan asked.

Candice Swanepoel said softly as she walked: The agent saw the recruitment announcement of the crew and thought I could try it out. She stepped up a little bit, followed Ronan, and explained: I'm currently performing Ban, I had a little acting experience in South Africa before, and I can't play too complicated roles for the time being, so my agent suggested that I start with the simplest roles, so that I can accumulate some experience.

Ronan knew very well that compared to the roles in most Hollywood movies, the roles in Life and Death are indeed much simpler to play.

Your agent is very professional. Ronan also felt that the agent's advice to Candice Swanepoel was very reliable: You are young and inexperienced, so don't worry.

Candice Swanepoel laughed, her smile still reserved: I think so too.

Thinking of those action characters, Ronan asked, May I ask, Candice, what is your age?

Candice Swanepoel hesitated for a moment, subconsciously thinking that age might have something to do with the audition, and finally said, I'm seventeen.

Ronan reminded: Using actors under the age of 16, Hollywood crews will be subject to many restrictions.

According to industry rules, actors under the age of 16 belong to the scope of child actors, and the crew must hire special teachers to ensure the learning and education of actors.

Although the legal age of adulthood is 21 years old, actors after the age of 16 actually no longer enjoy a lot of treatment as child actors in Hollywood.

Candice Swanepoel's image is very good, Ronan thought he could give it a try, and asked, I heard that many models' fitness plans include boxing training?

Yes. Candice Swanepoel understands the importance of this aspect to the audition, no matter how reserved she is, she can't help but emphasize her tone slightly: Boxing training has always been part of my fitness plan.

The studio is not far from the main entrance of the studio, and the two approached the gate of the studio while talking.

Ronan didn't mention the audition, and asked, How did you get here?

Candice Swanepoel pointed to the back: My agent drove me here.

Ronan glanced back, only to realize that a middle-aged woman had been following behind his bodyguards.

Then...we'll talk again when we have a chance. Ronan shook hands with Candice Swanepoel and said goodbye, Say hello to Sally for me.

Candice Swanepoel nodded, Okay.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove up, Ronan opened the door and got in, Candice Swanepoel waved at him.

Watching the car go away, the agent who followed came over and asked, Do you know Ronan Anderson?

Candice Swanepoel bluntly: 'Meet him twice with Sally'

The manager nodded slightly. Candice Swanepoel was originally a client introduced to her by Charlize Theron. Of course, she knew that Charlize Theron had cooperated with Relativity Entertainment and maintained a certain relationship.

I asked. The agent pulled Candice Swanepoel towards a Ford car: Your audition results are not bad, and you meet the basic requirements.

Candice Swanepoel smiled less reservedly, and said happily: Really?

The agent reminded: Don't be too happy, at least fifty actors will enter the second audition.

Candice Swanepoel isn't worried: I'm very satisfied to be in the second audition.

If you can't get a role, no matter how many initial auditions you can pass, the result is zero! The manager emphasized: The goal of our audition is to get a role.

She looked at Candice Swanepoel: If Ronan Anderson could speak for you...

Candice Swanepoel just inexperienced, not stupid: I don't really know him well.

The agent sighed, remembering Candice Swanepoel's age, held back some words, and said, Go and ask Charlize, let her speak for you.

Charlize Theron took care of her a lot, and Candice Swanepoel didn't want to bother her: It's not good.

The agent said to this naive girl: Candice, the hardest thing in Hollywood is this first step. Do you know how many people dream of wanting the conditions like you? A phone call from Charlize, several In a word, it can withstand the efforts of many people for three or even five years.

Candice Swanepoel was silent, thinking about what her agent had said.

Charlize has worked with Relativity Entertainment before, and Ronan has always admired Charlize. The manager added: For Charlize, this is not difficult at all. You owe Charlize a favor, if you can have a good relationship in the future The development of the company can also repay Charlize.

She is very good at grasping the psychology of the little girl: Candice, how much favor did you owe Charlize when you came to the United States from South Africa? Have you considered it? How will you repay this favor in the future?

Candice Swanepoel thought about what she saw and heard with Charlize Theron. The other party was an Oscar queen and a national treasure in South Africa. What would she give back to Charlize Theron?

The agent took advantage of the situation and said: If you can develop, the situation will be different, and you can also help Charlize.

Candice Swanepoel was finally persuaded and picked up the phone to dial Charlize Theron's number.

Ronan had just returned to the Relativity Mansion when he got a call from Charlize Theron about Candice Swanepoel's audition.

Ronan didn't care about this casual little favor, so he called Uwe Ball and asked about Candice Swanepoel's audition status. After learning that she met the basic requirements, Let the crew give her a suitable role.

Originally, Ronan had considered this aspect, and Charlize Theron called again, just a small role that didn't count as an appearance.

Ronan certainly wouldn't give a leading actress position to a rookie actress who had never had any formal filming experience.

In the past, the so-called rookie actors used by Relativity Entertainment refer to those who are new in reputation, that is, actors who have not really become popular yet.

But when it comes to acting experience, these people have basically worked in Hollywood for many years.

Even those with less seniority, like Jessica Chastain, have had more than a year of experience at the bottom of Hollywood.

In the past half of March, The Devil Wears Prada released the previous month, after five weeks of screenings, easily crossed the $100 million threshold at the North American box office, reaching as high as $116.89 million.

The final North American box office of this film is very hopeful to exceed 150 million US dollars.

Overseas, The Devil Wears Prada is also extremely popular, with a cumulative overseas box office of 81.2 million US dollars.

After a month of screenings, the film's popularity in North America has waned, and Embassy Pictures took advantage of the situation to launch a new movie, Hellboy directed by Guillermo del Toro.
