In the circle of Hollywood actors, Bryce-Dallas-Howard can be regarded as a proud woman, even more prominent than Sofia-Coppola's background.

Her father, Ron Howard, has directed several blockbuster films in recent years, and she also has two uncles and a cousin who are also in the entertainment industry.

One of the uncles is Clint Howard, who is a well-known film and television actor.

Another uncle is called Clint Eastwood, who has multiple identities as actor, director, and producer. Best Director Award at the 77th Academy Awards.

Cousin Kelly - Eastwood is a music composer.

An enviable background.

This is not over yet, when Bryce-Dallas-Howard was young, even among the female stars in Hollywood, he was still very dazzling.

Of course, as Bryce-Dallas-Howard grew older in the later period, his body gradually gained weight, and his appearance began to decline drastically.

As for Elizabeth Banks who played the female secretary in the original "Spider-Man 2"!

She is just an ordinary actress with no reputation.

While Ryan admits that Elizabeth Banks is pretty good too, he can't be looking around for an average actor, and he doesn't have to.

When the shoot was over, Ryan began to move the crew around for the next shot.

Inside the studio, under another blue screen, the filming of Tobey-Maguire and Bryce-Dallas-Howard continued.

"Hi!"

Tobey Maguire walks up to Bryce Dallas Howard with the check.

"Hi, Pete!" Bryce-Dallas-Howard turned around and took the check, looking down, "It's not enough for your last advance."

The filming had just started, and Tobey Maguire had barely said a word before being stopped by Ryan.

Toby Maguire turned around to look at Ryan with a hint of embarrassment. He seemed to have made a small mistake just now.

"Toby, be serious."

"Although Bryce plays Betty Brant, she is Spider-Man's first love girlfriend in the comics."

Ryan was a little speechless and shouted loudly: "But Bryce in front of you is not your girlfriend, so don't look around."

"Of course, if you want to pursue her in private, I have no objection."

"The premise is that you need to do your job well first, and be ready to accept the test of that old guy, Ron Howard."

The crew on the side couldn't help laughing.

Tobey Maguire raised his hand in embarrassment and said quickly: "Sorry, Ryan, I will pay attention."

He did look at Bryce-Dallas-Howard just now.

This is just a knee-jerk reaction.

Faced with a young woman of superior background, beautiful appearance, and tall figure, many people will subconsciously take a look.

Bryce-Dallas-Howard just smiled without much reaction.

Like Sofia Coppola, she has been in the crew since she was a child, and she doesn't care about a small joke.

"Okay, go ahead and start filming," Ryan shouted.

The three cameras began to adjust their positions. Bryce-Dallas-Howard was 1.73 meters tall, and she was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes. Even sitting on a chair, she still looked very tall.

In contrast, Tobey Maguire is only 1.70 meters tall.

In this way, when shooting, it is necessary to adjust the position of the camera.

Filming started again, and Bryce-Dallas-Howard was clearly in the mood.

Bryce Dallas-Howard stood up and watched Tobey Maguire reach out and touch his chin. "Head up."

Seeing Tobey Maguire smile, Bryce Dallas Howard smiled and turned away.

A very simple shot.

But, to be honest, Bryce-Dallas-Howard gave Ryan a slightly worse feeling than the original Elizabeth-Banks.

It's not a question of acting skills, but of temperament.

The smile of Elizabeth Banks in the original "Spider-Man 2", coupled with her temperament, is eye-catching.

Bryce-Dallas-Howard is less flavorful.

The big reason is age. Even though Bryce Dallas Howard is wearing very mature makeup, she is still a girl in essence, and Elizabeth Banks is several years older than her.

In front of this is only a small problem.

In the future, when editing, try to adjust as much as possible to reduce the facial shots of Bryce-Dallas-Howard and increase the full-body shots to highlight her tall and slender features.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help complaining that in the three original "Spider-Man" films, there are several female characters who are better than the heroine in appearance, figure, and temperament, but Spider-Man only likes the heroine.

How to say that sentence, the heroine halo.

After making complaints, Ryan continued to shoot.

Although the crew did not shoot a lot of shots on the first day, most of them were fragmentary shots, except for Ryan yelling to stop once in a while, the overall shooting effect was relatively smooth

In the next few days, it was almost all drama, and Ryan saved the action scenes of Spider-Man until the last filming.

"Jeffrey Katzenberg just called to express his regret that you did not attend the premiere of Shrek."

Ryan had just finished filming a scene when Sofia Coppola came over, "In addition, the North American box office of this film has reached 187 million US dollars."

Speaking of which, she couldn't help showing a strange look, a long animation film that was not very optimistic in DreamWorks, even a 3D animation feature film with an experimental nature, which was released in less than a month. It grossed $187 million.

As any idiot knows, this is a blockbuster 3D animated feature film.

DreamWorks Animation is said to be planning a sequel.

"Wow, $187 million at the box office!"

Ryan shrugged, "It seems that Disney is going to face another strong competitor."

From "Toy Story" by Pixar Animation Studios and "Ice Age" by Blue Sky Studios, to "Shrek" by DreamWorks Animation Studios, there are all 3D animation feature films.

However, Disney, which has monopolized the Hollywood feature film market for a long time, has never released a 3D feature film.

It has to be said that this is an irony.

"Also, are you going to attend the premieres of "Rush Hour 3" and "Tomb Raider 2?" Sofia Coppola asked.

"I don't have time for the time being." Ryan made up his mind to stay in New Zealand. At least until the 9/11 incident broke out, he would never return to the United States by plane.

"Let these matters be handled by Nancy and the others."

"Okay." Sofia Coppola had already expected that Ryan had no interest in the premieres of "Rush Hour 3" and "Tomb Raider 2".

"By the way, there is one more thing."

With a look of hesitation on her face, she said, "Rupert Murdoch of News Corp. would like to ask you to meet alone."

"He seems to be trying to buy Blue Sky Studios."

Since Pixar Animation Studios, Blue Sky Animation Studios, and DreamWorks Animation have succeeded in feature animation one after another.

This has caused many Hollywood film companies to set their sights on animated feature films.

Among them is 20th Century Fox, a subsidiary of News Corp., which invested a budget of 75 million US dollars and ambitiously created an animated feature film "Frozen Planet".

However, "Frozen Planet", which was released in June last year, was like a huge box office bomb, causing 20th Century Fox to vomit three liters of blood.

The North American box office of this animated feature film was only US$22.75 million, the overseas box office was even lower at US$14 million, and the global box office was US$36.75 million.

It is impossible to recover the cost of filming, and 20th Century Fox almost disbanded the animation feature film production department directly.

Buy Blue Sky Studios!

There was a smile in Ryan's eyes, then he shook his head and said, "Reject it, just say I don't have time."

"Ignore News Corp, Rupert Murdoch is going to be in big trouble soon."

There is still about a year left before the news group's wiretapping incident broke out in the previous life. At that time, all the information collected over the years will be handed over to the British news media for exposure.

It is estimated that the situation of News Corporation is much worse than in the previous life.

Most of the information about the wiretapping door in the previous life fell into the hands of the British police, and there were not many serious reports that were actually released by the media.

However, now Ryan has a lot of serious information in his hands, such as wiretapping members of the royal family and diplomatic officials from various countries.

If you take out any one, it is estimated that it will be enough for News Corp. to drink a pot.
