Chapter 301： The final banner of the original movie

Three days later, Ronan, representing the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, signed a formal contract with Christian Bale.

The signing site was in the office building of Warner Studios, and the media was not invited to participate. The crew just made an announcement on the official blog.

Compared to Johnny Depp, Christian Bale's reputation is much smaller, and correspondingly, the pay is also low.

Christian Bell also signed a trilogy contract with the crew, and the first film was paid $1 million.

In the office, after the two parties signed the contract, Ronan shook hands with Christian Bale: "Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Christian Bale shook Ronan's hand firmly.

Ronan said directly: "I hope you can join the crew this week."

Christian Bale said: "No problem."

Ronan sent away Christian Bell and his agent Patrick Whitesell, returned to the office, and saw the weight gain plan developed by the crew's dietitian and fitness trainer based on Christian Bell's physical condition.

As we all know, sudden fatness and weight loss can hurt the body, and a scientific plan must be made.

According to the dietitian, Christian Bell’s stomach was a little atrophied because of weight control in the filming of "American Psychiatric" and he needed to adjust his diet as soon as possible.

After entering the crew, Christian Bell needs to eat five meals a day, and the food is mainly high-calorie foods such as pizza and ice cream.

For most people, gaining weight first and then training muscles is definitely a very painful process.

Before signing the contract, Ronan talked to Christian Bale about this aspect. Bale said he really wanted to challenge whether he could do it, and he was indulged in the process.

Ronan believes Christian Bale can do it.

In his previous life, because of the "Batman" trilogy, he has read news reports in this regard.

At that time, Bell took over the filming of "The Mechanic". The characters in the play asked to "look as if they haven't slept for a year." Relying on hunger and a lot of physical exertion, Bell lost 63 pounds in 2 weeks. He lost 100 pounds, but the doctor warned him that if he loses weight, he may die young, and Bell stopped his horrible body-building training.

As soon as he finished his extreme challenge, Bell received the role of Batman. As a superhero without superpowers, Batman needs to keep his physical fitness at its peak at all times, which means that in the shortest time, Bell To transform from a weak sick man into a superhero with muscles...

As for the result, anyone who has watched "Batman" knows it.

In the afternoon, the agent of a small company contacted by Bryan Lord brought dozens of ordinary actors to the Warner Studios. Ronan took the time to take a look in person and was extremely satisfied with the efficiency of CAA. The actors crooked melons and split dates one by one, and their appearance was very distinctive.

Originally looks strange, makeup and styling during shooting is absolutely unforgettable.

Pirates who stay at sea all year round must be dirty and smelly.

With a beautiful appearance and delicate skin, is that still a pirate?

Ronan specially arranged for the styling department to let some of them make up auditions, and the effect was quite good.

These people are not only outstanding in appearance, but they also have prosperous beauty. Most of them have been in Hollywood for many years and their acting skills are also good.

Ronan arranged for an associate producer to discuss specific cooperation matters with the other party. As a pirate actor on the Black Pearl, they also had to sign a trilogy contract.

In this way, a group of very distinctive pirates can be guaranteed.

However, the skin of these actors is still too white and delicate.

Ronan has already thought of a good way. After signing the contract, when these actors are preparing, let them go to the studio's huge sandy outdoor studio, and it must be under the sun.

Keep them in the sun for several months to ensure that their skin becomes dark and rough.

Also, you can say hello to Gore Wibinski. When filming, the actors’ costumes will be worn under the sun on the outdoor studio for three days. No one can take them off or wash them. No bathing is allowed in the sky.

Make sure that each one is smelly.

Such a typical first-line costume production must fit the background of that era.

In the era when pirates of the Caribbean were rampant, it was difficult to take a bath every day, take a bath every day, shave and blow your hair. Is that still a pirate? Who can expect a group of pirate desperadoes to laugh with eight teeth, dazzlingly white?

It's not just clothing, but also the shape.

The stylist has already submitted plans and reports to Ronan. Pirate makeup is not about covering up the flaws on the face, let alone smooth and white skin, but highlighting the rough and tough lines, showing the most masculine and wild beauty that men should have.

The reason why Hollywood movies do this is actually consistent with the aesthetics of the entire society. Ronan has read in a very famous book on film modeling, saying that so far, the aesthetics of Westerners is still the atmosphere of the industrial age. The worship of primitive charm full of wildness.

In other words, the mainstream of society still likes those muscular wild beauty.

In fact, it can be seen from the situation of the first-line Hollywood stars that regardless of men and women, the rough type occupies the overwhelming majority, and the delicate and beautiful ones are rare.

At the end of a busy day, Ronan left the office and walked up the stairs to the lobby on the first floor. He was about to go to the studio again, but he met a very familiar person in the lobby.

This man was about 30 years old, and his golden brown hair was combed into a big part. At first glance, his hairstyle looked a bit like Liu Kuisheng.

Ronan's eyes fell on the opponent, who also noticed him.

Now that he met, Ronan walked over and asked: "Are you director Christopher Nolan?"

"I am." Christopher Nolan didn't know Ronan, and looked at this side in confusion: "Excuse me, you are..."

Ronan introduced herself: "Ronan Anderson, a producer."

Christopher Nolan was moved instantly, and said quickly: "Hello, Mr. Anderson. I have watched "Reaper Is Coming" and "Human Elimination Project" you made.

Ronan shook hands with Christopher Nolan, and said, "I have also seen "Memories" you shot.

Christopher Nolan said, "It's my honor." He looked at Ronan: "I didn't expect Mr. Anderson to be so young."

Ronan smiled: "Director Nolan is also young and promising."

In his early thirties, he can direct and shoot theater-line movies, and he definitely deserves this compliment.

Christopher Nolan had heard of Ronan and said modestly: "It's better than Mr. Anderson."

There were not many people in the hall. The two stood near the door and chatted for a while. Ronan said: "The Memento has left a very deep impression on me. The narrative technique in it is a magical technique. After watching the film, I have always wanted to meet Director Nolan, but I didn’t expect to meet him here today."

Christopher Nolan thought of Ronan's identity as the producer and film company owner, and said with a smile: "I will have been at Warner Studios recently, and we may encounter them often in the future."

Ronan asked at the right moment: "Are you busy working in the studio? New movie project?"

Christopher Nolan replied: "Working on the latter part of a new movie."

Ronan tentatively asked, "Can you know what the project is?"

Christopher Nolan thought about it for a moment and said: "A suspenseful film about a murder in Alaska, based on an old Norwegian movie."

Ronan has watched all of Christopher Nolan's films, and when he said that, he immediately guessed that it should be the adaptation of the Norwegian old film "Insomnia".

"When can it be completed?" Ronan said specifically: "I hope I can see this film soon."

Christopher Nolan received such great support from Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. in his previous life. In addition to his own talents, his life is also one of the aspects. He immediately said to Ronan: "When the film is completed, Mr. Anderson is welcome to participate. "

Ronan replied: "I must be there."

Christopher Nolan asked quickly: "Your contact information..."

Ronan took out his business card, handed it to Christopher Nolan, and said, "This is my personal phone."

Christopher Nolan collected it solemnly, and gave Ronan a personal business card, saying: "The film is complete, I will notify you."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "Director Nolan, I really like your style in "Memory Fragment". I hope we can have a chance to cooperate in the future."

Christopher Nolan said very politely: "I also hope to cooperate with Mr. Anderson."

Having said that, Ronan basically achieved his goal. Before leaving, he said again: "Director Nolan, you can call me at any time when you encounter difficulties or insufficient funds in your future film projects."

Many film companies and many paths Christopher Nolan, who is still a young director, attaches great importance to Ronan's words and said: "I will. Thank you Mr. Anderson for your love."

He is full of talent and wants to become an image on the big screen. He needs a lot of money and the full support of the film company.

Christopher Nolan knew very well that getting to know such a wealthy film company owner would not do any harm to his future career.

Ronan smiled and nodded, then made a few more polite words before leaving the studio office building first.

It was a surprise to meet Christopher Nolan here.

In his previous life, Christopher Nolan’s most important partners were undoubtedly Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Warner Bros. is temporarily incomparable, but Legendary Pictures...

Once Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a top commercial film director, and even became the final banner of original large-scale productions in Hollywood, which is adapted and sequelized.

If we can establish a stable cooperative relationship with Christopher Nolan, it will help Shahai Entertainment a lot.
