Chapter 650： Are you ready

"Nate, try changing lens 132."

It’s already time to get off work, but Sophia Coppola didn’t mean to leave. She instructed Natalie, who was a temporary guest editor, to constantly switch shots, "Replace the 217th shot again, yes! That's this little action. ."

"It looks better."

After adjusting the camera, Natalie thoughtfully, "Kaitenis entered this luxurious place for the first time, using unconscious small movements to express her anxiety..."

Staring at herself on the LCD screen, she glanced at the female director beside her, "Sophia, it feels much better."

"Let's stop here today."

After a sip of coffee, Sophia Coppola squeezed her forehead and leaned on the back of the chair, "Nat, you're making progress very fast. You can completely operate a movie."

"Thank you."

This is the end of today’s work. Natalie cut off the power to several devices and picked up the coffee cup. Before drinking, she asked, "Are you stressed?"

Sophia Coppola nodded, "Didn't you read the report that Ms. Kennedy brought? In addition to the $100 million for the production, Disney also prepared $120 million for publicity expenses. Starting from my transition to a director, Ryan has helped me so much. If I mess up this time, I really don’t know how to face him..."

Turning her head, Natalie frowned and glanced at Sophia Coppola, shook her head secretly, and comforted, "Although we only cut out one-fifth, I think the film does have an appeal to watch. .Hope, don’t forget, Sophia, Yi Ryan’s character..."

She flattened her mouth and said, "If there is no possibility of profit, I would never invest such a huge amount of money."

"What you said makes sense." Sophia Coppola agreed with Natalie, a smile on her tired face. "Sometimes, I have stronger faith in Ryan than in myself!"

It's all the time. She added something in her heart.

Natalie was a little surprised. If it wasn't for Ryan's support, how could she make up her mind to enter the director's circle so early; if it wasn't for Ryan's support, what about her experimental feature film? May appear in theaters.

It was with Ryan that she never worried about what to do after she failed. She always believed that with Ryan's support, she could not fail.

"Clean up, let's go."

Looked at the watch. Natalie stood up, "Ryan should be coming soon, it's late, let's go for a supper together."

"Okay."

Putting on her coat, Sophia Coppola walked to the door with her satchel. Just a few steps later, the door opened and Ryan strode in.

"It looks like I'm here at the right time?" Ryan let in and opened the door, making a please gesture. "Moria restaurant, I have booked a place."

This is a typical French restaurant, the food is exquisite and delicious, and the portion for dinner is small enough. It is a place where many Hollywood female stars like to eat. The reserved space in the restaurant is very quiet. A round mahogany dining table keeps a sufficient distance from others.

Sitting at the dining table separately, the three of Ryan enjoyed the meal that Lu Xu brought up. Bian whispered to each other's topics of interest.

"Don't you think time is a little tight?" Sophia Coppola said seriously.

"Sophia."

Cut a small steak, Ryan raised his head, "I've seen your progress. If nothing else, it can be completed in mid-May. This is still not counting overtime."

"Don't tell me, you want the movie to be released in May next year." After all, this is her first big production, and Sophia also wants to have more time to fine-tune it.

"I originally planned to do this." Ryan ignored the two wide-eyed women and took the cut steak into his mouth without hesitation. After swallowing it, he said unhurriedly, " But Surprise put "X-Men 3" in May. In order to avoid hitting the box office of this movie, I plan to put it in early June."

"Early June?" Sophia looked at Natalie, "I remember Scarlett said that DreamWorks' "Escape from the Clone Island" seems to be on this schedule."

"That's right." Natalie nodded in agreement with her cup. "The second weekend in June."

"Then we will choose to release it on the first weekend of June."

As the hottest summer file, it was the time when commercial blockbusters were released. Of course, Ryan had to pick the softest persimmon, "I will inform Kate and Disney Pictures when I look back."

"Why not push it to release in August?" Sophia was obviously lacking in confidence, frowning and said, "This is Michael Bay and DreamWorks working together to create a super masterpiece, I am worried..."

"No, no, no..." Ryan shook his finger. "Sophia, it should be them, not us, who are worried."

"Scarlet will be sad if you say that." Natalie said with a pursed smile.

This was just a joke. She knew that as long as Ryan was still in Hollywood, these friends around him would never lack opportunities.

"Our film is aimed at teenagers and female audiences." Ryan felt six points full, and simply put down his knife and fork. "You may not pay attention. The sales of the original novel is only second to the "The Da Vinci Code". "And we have assembled the best young actors in Hollywood today. As long as the promotion is in place, the box office will definitely not be a problem."

"You have so much confidence in me?" Sophia Coppola's brows gradually loosened.

Ryan shrugged gracefully. Ryan didn’t say anything. He had seen some samples cut by Sophia. The effect was not bad, at least not worse than the previous one. On the basis of ensuring the most basic quality, how to do a good job in marketing is The key to the success of this series.

What Disney lacks most is the experience of promoting works among teenagers and female audiences.

Although the final release time has not yet been determined, Disney’s promotional plan has been launched long ago. Behind the high sales of original novels is the result of the operation of Ryan and Disney, and as the shooting ends, many props in the movie are also commercialized , Various neighboring authorization negotiations have also taken the lead.

Ryan's goal is simple, to recover the cost as far as possible at the box office and use the surroundings to make a profit.

So far, among all Hollywood movies, there are three best-developed peripheral series, George Lucas's "Star Wars", Ryan's "Jurassic Park" and "Harry Potter" series.

For these films, cinema screenings are more like publicity and promotion, and the real places that bring huge profits are almost all in the surrounding industries.

The topic of the three people always revolves around the film industry.

"I heard from Nat..." Sophia Coppola asked Ryan, holding the newly delivered black tea from the waiter, "Are you going to restart "Jurassic Park"?"

"Waiting for Stephen."

After receiving Natalie's coffee with sugar and milk, Ryan took a sip and continued, "It will be the second half of the year at the earliest. I plan to use 3D technology to make it."

"Bring the audience into the theater with the dinosaurs in front of you?" Natalie tasted the black tea. She probably found it unpalatable. She simply exchanged for coffee from Ryan and asked, "Don't you switch to imax?"

"Of course it will." Ryan put the black tea she stuffed over on the table, "I still want to use this film to promote the development of imax3d cinema."

"It's a pity that these are of little help to literary and artistic movies." Sophia Coppola put down his tea cup and checked the time. "It's getting late, let's go."

"Tomorrow weekend."

After leaving the restaurant and walking towards the parking lot, Ryan said, "Are there any arrangements?"

"Relax." Sophia pointed to the faint dark circles under her eyes illuminated by the street light, "Relieve all the pressure and go to sleep."

"I invited Sophia."

Natalie held Ryan in his arms and reminded, "She thinks that hiding at home is easier to relax than going to Utah."

"so……"

When she walked to the car, Sophia looked at them, raised her voice slightly and asked, "Have you finished the script you prepared for Nat?"

"So we are going to inspect the location."

Looking at the faintly visible paparazzi outside the parking lot, Ryan opened the Rolls-Royce door for Natalie, "We have to go to the field first, and then form the crew."

"Shunyi uses the weekend to go there to play." Natalie added.

"Wish ya'll good luck."

Waved to this side, Sophia Coppola got into his car, and the black Cadillac took the lead to leave the parking lot.

"Let's go too."

With a light pat on Natalie, Ryan followed her into the car, and Rolls-Royce drove towards North Hollywood.

"Are everything ready?"

When the car entered Laurel Valley Avenue, Natalie saw a shop selling field equipment on the side of the road through the car window, and asked Ryan, "We are camping out in the wild."

"All the equipment, food." Ryan simply found a folded list from his pocket and handed it to Natalie. "Including the satellite phone, it was delivered to the plane in the afternoon."

Natalie browsed through the list casually and returned it to Ryan, "Where's the script? I haven't seen the script yet."

"I put the physical version in the off-road vehicle." Ryan knocked his forehead, "I sent the electronic version to your encrypted mailbox."

Returning to Natalie's villa, Ryan told John a few words and asked him to contact the people who rushed to Utah first, and don't miss the pick-up time tomorrow.

"Only when you are fully prepared." Ryan said to her as she took Natalie to the villa, "Only the possibility of accidents will be minimized."

There is a geologically complex area, Ryan didn't want the encounter with Alan Ruston to happen to them and his group.

"By the way, where is Alison?"

After entering the villa, Ryan realized that his dear sister had not come, "I told her to come here today, and then leave together tomorrow."

"Go to Scarlett's side." Natalie gestured to the direction of Scarlett's house with her chin. "She called me, and she wants to sleep with Scarlett at night." (To be continued...)( )
