The Best Entertainment Era

The company already has a budget for Twilight.

In the office, Lindsay Bill pushed down her black-rimmed glasses and said to Ronan, The production budget is 35 million US dollars, which is quite sufficient.

This was approved by Ronan. Of course he knew that the magical elements are just embellishments. After all, this is a romance movie.

Just like the various TV dramas in the past with the garb of workplace, ancient costumes, and solving crimes, everything is for the bloody love triangle.

Qiong Yao-style romantic dramas no longer meet the needs of the times, but new-style dog-blooded romantic dramas quickly fill the market.

The biggest difference between the two is probably that Xiaosan is no longer full of justice and has become a villain one after another.

Lindsay-Bill said at this time, As for the director, due to your reputation, many directors have expressed strong interest...

Is there Catherine Hardwick? Ronan asked.

Lindsay Bill thought for a while and said, Yes, she submitted her resume through the CAA channel.

Ronan reminded, You should focus on her. This is the candidate recommended by Tom Cruise. Tom's vision is still trustworthy.

Catherine Hardwick is an art director by training and has held the position in several films, working with Tom Cruise and serving as art director, associate director and executive producer on Vanilla Sky .

At the same time, Youth Thirteen, which she wrote and directed, is also a relatively successful low-cost youth film. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the same genre as Twilight.

Lindsay-Bill checked the relevant information of Catherine Hardwick and said, Thirteen is the first official feature film directed by Catherine Hardwick. million dollars at the box office.

This data is undoubtedly very convincing.

Lindsay-Bill continued, This year, as a director and screenwriter, she collaborated with Sony Columbia Pictures on a film called Lord of Dog Town. gross of $10,000.

Ronan nodded slowly. For a commercial director like him, he paid more attention to commercial data.

Tom is still very reliable, Ronan said.

Lindsay Beale continued, From the perspective of 13 and Lord of Dogville\

,"Catherine Hardwick should be good at shooting youth themes.

Ronan thought for a while and said, Well, Lindsay, you should contact Catherine Hardwick first. You wrote the specific content of this novel, and you also wrote the screenplay. Do you agree with Catherine Hardwick? Appropriate, you should be able to judge.

Lindsay Beal is no longer the little gunslinger when she first came to Relativity Entertainment and said, Okay, I'll interview Katherine Hardwick later.

Ronan turned to ask, What about the actors?

Lindsay Beer said, I've already met Kristen Stewart. She has a lot of acting experience. In 2002, she filmed Trembling Room with Jodie Foster, and in 2003 with Daniel Quaid and Sharon- Stone co-starred in Haunted House and starred in the crime comedy Little Ghost and Thief in 2004. This year, a drama film No More Silence starring her will be released...

This is a child actor. Ronan understood.

Lindsay Beal reminded that the industry thinks Kristen Stewart has a bright future.

Ronan made a decision, Let's send out an audition invitation.

Lindsay Beal said, I think it's better to wait until after next year to send out audition invitations.

Huh? Ronan was puzzled.

Lindsay-Bill explained, The crew is still in the early stage of planning, and it will take a while before the project is approved. I also have to take care of the second season of Gossip Girl. How come this project will not officially start preparations until next year. And Kristen - Stewart is on the younger side...

Ronan asked, How old is she?

I'm fifteen, but I'll be sixteen in a few months. Lindsay Bill reminded, Contracts signed before the age of sixteen will impose many restrictions on the crew, but after the age of sixteen, the situation will be much better. .”

Ronan thought for a while, and said, Actor auditions are not busy. First determine the director, and then form the crew. The actor audition can be put at the end.

Lindsay Beal: I thought so too.

Ronan emphasized again, On actors, there are only priority choices, not mandatory choices. Kristen Stewart's audition effect is good, and the crew can wait for her for a few months. We can afford to wait. If the audition effect is average, we have other choices. options can be considered.”

I understand. Lindsay Bill is not a novice in Hollywood, knowing that there is never a shortage of actors in the industry, and said, As for the actor, my assistant has contacted Robert Pattinson, and he has rich acting experience. Starred in The Ring of the Nibelung and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In addition, Henry Cavill is also interested in this role.

Ronan smiled and asked, Does the schedule of Transformers conflict with your project?

Lindsay Beal said, It can be adjusted.

Ronan waved his hand, It's still up to the audition to decide.

Henry Cavill has already decided to play the role of Duke in Transformers, but he didn't expect to be interested in the role of vampire again.

Transformers crew is preparing, including Candice - Swanepoel and Henry - Cavill and many other characters, Michael Bella has been to the Nevada desert to start the last period of training before shooting.

The filming of this film, regardless of the male and female protagonists, has a lot of running scenes, which requires excellent physical fitness and sufficient flexibility.

Although difficult and dangerous action scenes will be completed by stunt doubles, some ordinary action scenes also require actors to play in person.

If Transformers lives up to expectations and Henry Cavill auditions for the Twilight cast, the British actor could be in the red in the next few years.

Ronan would not take the initiative to interfere with the crew's audition, because in his eyes, as long as the vampire actor's appearance and acting skills are online, it doesn't make much difference who plays it.

Also included was Isabella of Kristen Stewart.

There are really many outstanding actresses in Hollywood between the 80s and 90s, and there are more than a dozen names that Ronan can think of casually.

As for people who think of people after seeing their names, there are more.

Once on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, according to the habits of the entertainment industry there, there were also sayings such as the Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Great Stars, and the Four Little Stars for Hollywood stars.

Afterwards, Ronan looked at the list of audition actors that Lindsay Bill handed over. Now that Relativity Entertainment is well-known, any project with a slightly higher investment will attract many quasi-star-level actors to send their resumes.

For example, in the audition list of the heroine, there are even aunt-level actors like Amy Adams.

In addition, Ronan also saw a familiar name-Brie Larson.

The square-faced aunt seems to be a perfect match with Nenniu Wufang.

This sixteen-year-old actress is also a child star, and despite her relatively young age, she has appeared in many films.

There are detailed notes on the information, Brie Larson was born as a Disney child star, and has performed on the Disney Children's Channel since she was nine years old.

Brie Larson probably forged an indissoluble bond with Disney very early, but if she or her parents pay a little attention, they will understand the importance of this relationship with Disney.

Perhaps, this is also an important reason why Brie Larson once became a square-faced aunt.

…………

When night came, a private clubhouse in the Santa Monica Valley area was brightly lit, and a luxury car came from a distance and parked in front of the newly decorated clubhouse.

Dick Cook, the owner of the clubhouse, is waiting here.

When the Bentley stopped, he stepped forward and opened the door himself.

Seeing Robert Iger get out of the car, Dick Cook shook his hand. Welcome, Bob.

Robert Iger nodded slightly. Good evening, Dick.

Dick Cook leads the way. This way.

Robert Iger followed him into the clubhouse and walked along a quiet road towards an independent house.

He's here? Robert Iger asked with a smile.

Dick Cook said, He's already here to avoid the eyes of anyone who cares.

Before coming to the house, as the president of Walt Disney Group, Dick Cook knocked lightly on the door, and someone came to open the door and led the two of them in.

Michael Eisner sat in a chair with a cup of coffee on the round table in front of him.

Seeing Robert Iger, he seemed to want to take the initiative to say hello, but his long-standing habit made him sit firmly on the chair without moving.

Good evening, Mr. Eisner. Robert Iger smiled like Disney's iconic Mickey Mouse.

Michael Eisner squeezed out a smile, You're here, Bob. He pointed to the chair next to him, Sit whatever you want, you're welcome with me.

Thank you. Robert Iger didn't move that chair, but pulled the other one aside, and sat opposite Michael Eisner.

Michael Eisner frowned slightly in this seemingly polite way, but vaguely indicated that the two sides were equal in status.

Michael Eisner turned his head to look at Dick Cook, probably used to being superior, and said in an orderly tone, Dick, you go outside, don't let anyone disturb us.

There was no change on Dick Cook's face, and he said with a smile, You guys talk, I'll go and see how the supper preparations are going.

After leaving the room, a gloomy expression inevitably appeared on Dick Cook's face.

Long time no see, Bob. Michael Eisner looked across at Robert Iger and said, I remember the last time we sat together for coffee, it was when you were at Disney, and you had just been promoted.

Robert Iger smiled and said, It was five years ago?

Michael Eisner said, Thinking about it now, it seems like it just happened yesterday.

Some things, with his face and status, it's not easy to say them out quickly.
