The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 825: Pillar abused me 100 times

Going to India for food? It was a rather strange country. Candice Swanepoel thought about it for a long time, but besides curry, she couldn't think of other Indian delicacies.

Oh, by the way, it is said that there is no bathroom there.

It's kind of scary.

When Candice Swanepoel thought of Michael Bay, she suddenly had an insight into what food is.

Are you going to India? Candice Swanepoel was a little hesitant, unable to make an immediate decision, and asked questions immediately to gain some time to think.

If she was two years older and stayed in Hollywood for another two years, Candice Swanepoel would never hesitate.

But after all, she is not yet eighteen years old. Even though she has made rapid progress and transformation in the past year, and she has done a good job in related psychological construction, she still needs to think carefully.

Ronan didn't urge him either, it was just a suggestion, Candice Swanepoel was willing to go, he would warmly welcome him, and if he didn't want to go, he wouldn't force it.

I have some business to deal with. Ronan said with a smile: By the way, give yourself a few days off.

In fact, he did have business to deal with and was going to meet secretly with someone in Mumbai, but he would not say that even if Candice Swanepoel went, she would not be allowed to meet.

Steve Jobs finally gave Ronan a clear answer, and prepared to communicate with Ronan Wang Duo Wang, Robert Iger and John Lasseter. It is best to keep the meeting of the two secret to facilitate the next operation.

In this way, neither in Los Angeles nor in San Francisco, meeting is not suitable, after all, Ronan and Jobs' every move is closely watched.

So, Ronan took Steve Jobs' advice and chose to meet in India, but Mumbai was Ronan's choice.

As for inviting Candice Swanepoel to India, Ronan has his thoughts.

Some aspects of Indian laws are very lax, US and California laws are not effective there, and Candice Swanepoel is not American.

Candice Swanepoel asked curiously: Is India fun? I've never been there.

Ronan thought for a while and said, I am also familiar with Mumbai. The culture and scenery there are very different from those in the West.

Mumbai also has Bollywood, a film industry base that produces more movies per year than Hollywood.

I vaguely remember that when Priyanka Chopra took him on a tour of Bollywood, he saw some crews filming, and they really danced when they disagreed.

Candice Swanepoel said: I've heard of Bollywood and they say they shoot very fast.

Ronan nodded slightly: The overall speed should be a notch faster than Hollywood.

Compared with their counterparts in Hong Kong City, even in Bollywood, film production is slow.

The two chatted about Indian movies for a while, and Ronan didn't mention the matter of going to India, as if he hadn't mentioned it.

But at the end of the dinner, Candice Swanepoel took the initiative to say: In fact, I also want to see different scenery and different foreign cultures.

Ronan didn't push or speak, leaving Candice Swanepoel to make her own decisions.

Candice Swanepoel smiled at Ronan: I've been working a lot during this time, I'll go back and see how I can make adjustments, can you wait for my call?

It's my honor. What Ronan said was nice.

Candice Swanepoel took out her mobile phone and glanced at the time, and said, It's almost time, Ronan, go get busy.

Ronan said, I'll ask the driver to take you.

No. Candice Swanepoel quickly declined, I'll call a car to go back.

Ronan had already beckoned to Finch: Arrange a car and take Miss Swanepoel back.

Finch didn't speak, nodded, took out his phone and sent a text message.

Ronan called the waiter to check out, shook hands with Candice Swanepoel, and said, Go back.

Goodbye, Ronan.

Candice Swanepoel followed Finch out of the restaurant.

Ronan entered the front hall of the Theory of Relativity Building through the side door of the restaurant, came to the office area of ​​Shahai Entertainment on the seventh floor of the building, and entered the conference room on time.

The relevant participants are already waiting here.

Connie has already prepared the materials Ronan will use.

This is an important meeting in the first stage of Transformers preparations. In addition to Ronan, Sandsea Entertainment's CEO George Clint, project director and executive producer Michael Bay, and production manager Benelson , Scott Swift of the Pacific Foundation, the financier, Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro, Thomas, the distribution representative of Embassy Pictures, and Hank, the project director of Industrial Light and Magic for special effects cooperation. All the principals attended the meeting as nonvoting delegates.

The meeting, chaired by George Clint, first announced a series of preparations, filming and distribution matters.

The production budget of Transformers is tentatively set at 180 million U.S. dollars, and all funds will be raised by the Pacific Foundation. The film will start shooting in December and will be transferred to post-production in March next year. It will be released in the summer of 2007. Embassy Pictures Responsible for marketing promotion and global distribution.

In addition, Hasbro will coordinate with the progress of the film to promote the Transformers series around the world.

From the perspective of its own income, Hasbro also hopes that Transformers, one of the company's three ace toy series, can rely on the success of the movie to rejuvenate the vitality of the 1980s.

Hasbro used to shoot cartoons in order to promote toys. It has rich marketing experience in this area.

Thomas also announced a message: Embassy Pictures has reached an agreement with 70 distributors and advertising companies from all over the world to jointly promote Transformers.

Hasbro's Brian Goldner said: Hasbro's overseas branches and related licensing companies will also fully cooperate with Embassy Pictures to promote promotion and marketing.

Ronan nodded with satisfaction: In addition to filming and production, publicity and marketing are also the top priority.

This is undoubtedly good news for film projects.

The production manager Benelson said at this time: The film crew and Netflix shared the joint Optimus Prime movie line competition. At present, more than 1 million people around the world have participated, and more than 10,000 lines have been collected, and we have selected some of them.

While speaking, an assistant turned on the projector and projected the relevant investment on the screen in the meeting room.

Ronan and the others looked at it one by one, and most of the selected lines were used by Optimus Prime in the cartoon.

I think this one is the best! said Hasbro's Brian Goldner, .the..all..

Ronan nodded slowly and said, Freedom and rights belong to all living beings.

Brian Goldner answered: This is the motto on a toy of Optimus Prime, and it was the first concept that Hasbro set for Optimus Prime.

Appropriate. Ronan said: It really reflects Optimus Prime's character and philosophy.

He first said to Thomas: Choose this line for the lines, but the collection of lines must continue to maintain the popularity of the Internet. Then he said to Michael Bay: In a suitable scene, let Optimus Prime say this line himself. lines.

Michael Bay thought for a moment and said, No problem, this will also become the idea of ​​the movie.

Ronan said: A Transformer from Cybertron traveled thousands of miles to Earth to save his life. No matter what, he needs a plausible reason. This one is very suitable.

It was with the support of this idea that Optimus Prime broke with his brother Megatron.

It is also this concept that makes Optimus Prime become a machine traitor to protect human beings at the expense of Cybertron's interests.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is a noble Transformer, a pure Transformer, a Transformer with ideals, a Transformer out of vulgar interests and beneficial to all mankind.

In fact, Hasbro's shaping of Optimus Prime is very successful, not just the tall and complete image in the cartoon that can only shout Autobots, transform, go.

Optimus Prime, an excellent fighter, talented strategist, orator, and political leader, absolutely pays attention to image and has first-class power skills.

As a die-hard Transformers fan, Ronan has seen many works about Transformers, from cartoons to big movies to derivative comics, etc. Among them, idw’s Optimus Prime personal comics are for him. Made an extremely deep impression.

The most important point of this comic is that it tells the growth of Optimus Prime.

In the beginning, Optimus Prime appeared as a frustrated leader who needed to find a balance among the various factions, so he did not hesitate to use the control of belief to achieve his own means.

Optimus Prime at this stage has the resourcefulness and responsibility of a leader, but also the arrogance of a leader. For example, he said that leaders always do the right thing.

And after being baptized by Feiyan's justice-breaking face fist and great battle, which was extremely dissatisfied with his actions, Optimus Prime realized that we cannot be bound by the past, sometimes we must stand up to protect life, but sometimes we must It is the role of a leader to be able to tell the difference between making concessions for the same purpose.

Everyone who likes Transformers will not like the ending of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

These two leaders entrusted too many feelings of tightrope.

Therefore, the movie is also doomed, Optimus Prime and Megatron will fall in love and kill each other.

Since it is a unified plan as a whole series, Ronan also has a lot of ideas about the setting of the sequel, such as letting Optimus Prime and Megatron temporarily join forces for a common purpose to fight side by side, as in comics and toys.

Michael Bay's films were also very interesting. Not to mention the continuity of the plot and the second film, just looking at the first and third films, Megatron seems to have no intention of killing Optimus Prime.

Especially the third part, it shows its skills when Optimus Prime is in crisis...

In this regard, we may also be able to make some articles.

Add this kind of setting to Megatron: Pillar abused me a hundred times, and I treat Pillar like first love.

After summarizing all aspects of work and making new arrangements, the meeting soon came to the last item, which was also an item that Ronan wanted to emphasize and correct.
