Chapter 754： Favor

As early as 1996, the game "Life and Death Fighting" was already on the market. The generation who grew up playing arcades are very familiar with "Life and Death Fighting" and have a certain nostalgia.

"Life and Death Fight" even became a wcg project in e-sports.

These are the basis of film adaptation.

As for its famous milk shake as a selling point of the game, it can also become a selling point of film adaptation.

Someone once said that in the game "Life and Death Fighting", the most eye-catching element of the game is the "milk shake" design.

These used to provide countless materials for various page game advertisements across the Pacific Ocean.

Uvi-Bauer’s film adaptation will certainly continue to evolve with the tenet of sexiness and violence.

The difficult physical movement of breast shake will also be reflected in the movie, which has extremely high lethality on the house.

The production budget of "Life and Death Fight" is as high as 7 million US dollars, which also created the highest record since Uvi Bauer directed it.

This is also determined by the market.

Uvi-Bauer’s first two movies, namely "House of Death" and "Dungeon Siege", brought tens of millions of dollars in profits to Relativity Entertainment in total online and offline.

"Vampire Lane", which has been fully filmed and produced, will also be released this year. Uvi-Bauer is using his popularity and Netflix's favorable conditions to promote the promotion of the film.

After 　　 Iron Fist Town film review, Uvi Bauer has always been an Internet celebrity. With the promotion of Relativity Entertainment's investment of resources behind it, Brother Bao can be said to be a veritable Internet celebrity director.

To be an exaggeration, Bao Ge is the first Internet celebrity director.

The world has changed since the Internet was widely popularized. Many people and things that were scolded in the past have attracted the attention of countless people, and some people are willing to become their fans.

The network economy of the entertainment industry is also developing step by step.

Ronan occasionally thought of Brother Bao, and he had a speculation that under the influence of his wings, would Hollywood also have that kind of super traffic star?

This can only be seen.

talked with Uvi-Bauer about "Life and Death Fighting". When Ronan was about to leave, he met an acquaintance among the actors waiting for the audition.

Uvi-Bauer plans to use model-type actors to play the main female roles. Most of the actors waiting for auditions on the scene have experience in model or professional model training.

Candice Swanepoel is one of them.

just came out of the audition room, still thinking about the performance of the first audition, she saw Ronan.

Compared to many daring actresses, Candice Swanepoel has just entered the industry, she seems very reserved and cautious, just smiled at Ronan.

Ronan waited until she came over and said hello: "Hello, Candice, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Candice Swanepoel smiled quietly and spoke very softly: "Hello, Ronan."

This is not a place to talk. Many people watched it.

Ronan walked out first, Candice Swanepoel glanced back at the place where the agent was, and walked forward with Ronan.

"Are you here for the audition?" Ronan asked.

Candice Swanepoel whispered as she walked: "The agent saw the recruitment announcement of the crew and thought I could come and try." She stepped up a bit, followed Ronan, and explained: "I'm on the show. Ben, I have had some acting experience in South Africa before, and I can't play too complicated roles for the time being. The agent suggested that I start with the simplest roles and gain some experience."

Ronan knows very well that the role of "Life and Death" is indeed much simpler than the role of most Hollywood movies.

"Your agent is very professional." Ronan also thinks the agent's advice to Candice Swanepoel is very reliable: "You are young and lack experience, so you can't worry."

Candice Swanepoel laughed, her smile still subtle: "I think so too."

Ronan thought of those action characters, and asked: "You take the liberty to ask, Candice, your age?"

Candice Swanepoel hesitated, subconsciously thinking that age might be related to the audition, and finally said, "I am seventeen years old."

Ronan reminded: "The use of actors under the age of sixteen, Hollywood crews will be subject to many restrictions."

According to the rules in the industry, actors under the age of sixteen are completely within the scope of child actors. The crew must hire specialized teachers to ensure the actors’ learning and education.

Although the law stipulates that the adult is 21 years old, actors after the age of 16 actually no longer enjoy many treatments as child actors in Hollywood.

Candice Swanepoel’s image is very good. Ronan thought he could give it a try and asked: "I heard that many models include boxing training in their fitness programs?"

"Yes." Candice Swanepoel, no matter how subtle, understands the importance of this aspect to the audition, can't help but emphasize a little bit: "Boxing training has always been part of my fitness program."

The studio was not far from the main entrance of the studio, and the two approached the entrance of the studio as they spoke.

Ronan did not mention the audition, and asked: "How did you come here?"

Candice Swanepoel pointed to the back: "My agent drove me over."

Ronan glanced back, only to find that a middle-aged woman had been following his bodyguards.

"Then... have a chance to talk again." Ronan shook hands with Candice Swanepoel and said goodbye: "Say hello to Sally for me."

Candice Swanepoel nodded: "Okay."

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove over, Ronan opened the door and got into the car, Candice Swanepoel waved at him.

Watching the car go away, the agent who followed came over and asked, "Do you know Ronan Anderson?"

Candice Swanepoel tells the truth: "Meet him twice with Sally."

The agent nodded slightly, and Candice Swanepoel was originally the client Charlize Theron introduced to her. Of course, she knew that Charlize Theron had cooperated with Relativity Entertainment and maintained certain contacts.

"I asked." The agent took Candice Swanepoel towards a Ford car: "Your audition effect is okay. It meets the basic requirements."

Candice Swanepoel smiled less implicitly, and said happily, "Really?"

'S agent reminded: "Don't be too happy, at least fifty actors will enter the second audition."

Candice Swanepoel didn’t worry: “I’m very satisfied if I can enter the second audition.”

"I can't get a role, how many first auditions can I pass, and the result is zero!" The agent emphasized: "Our goal for the audition is to get the role."

She looked at Candice Swanepoel: "If Ronan Anderson can say something for you..."

Candice Swanepoel just lacks experience, but not stupid: "I really don't know him."

The agent sighed, remembering Candice Swanepoel’s age, and he endured some words, saying: "Go and ask Charlize and let her speak for you."

Charlize Theron takes care of her a lot, and Candice Swanepoel doesn’t want to bother her: "It’s not good."

The agent said to this girl who was still a little naive: "Candice, the hardest part in Hollywood is this first step. Do you know how many dreams want you to do? A call from Charlize, how many In other words, it can withstand the efforts of many people for three or even five years."

Candice Swanepoel was silent, thinking about what the agent said.

"Charlize has worked with Relativity Entertainment, Ronan has always admired Charlize." The agent added: "For Charlize, this is not difficult at all. You owe Charlize a favor, if you can have a good life in the future Charlize’s development can also be rewarded."

She knows how to grasp the psychology of the little girl: "Candice, how much favor did you owe Charlize during this period when you came to the United States from South Africa? Have you considered it? How will you pay off this favor in the future?"

Candice Swanepoel thought of what she saw and heard next to Charlize Theron. The other party was an Oscar queen, a national treasure of South Africa. What did she use to return Charlize Theron's favor?

The agent took advantage of the situation and said: "If you can develop, the situation will be different. You can also help Charlize."

Candice Swanepoel was finally moved, picked up the phone and dialed Charlize Theron's number.

As soon as Ronan returned to the Theory of Relativity Building, he received a call from Charlize Theron, which mentioned Candice Swanepoel’s audition.

Ronan didn’t care about this kind of casual favor, and called Uvi Bauer to ask about Candice Swanepoel’s audition. After learning that she met the basic requirements, Let the crew give her a suitable role.

Originally, Ronan had thought about this, Charlize Theron called again, a small character who didn't count on the scene.

Ronan certainly will not give a new actress and heroine position who has never had any formal filming experience In the past, the so-called rookie actor used by Relativity Entertainment refers to the reputation of being new, that is, still There are no actors who are really popular.

But speaking of acting experience, these people have basically been in Hollywood for many years.

Even the juniors, like Jessica Chastain, had more than a year of experience in the bottom of Hollywood.

In the past half of March, after five weeks of screening of "The Devil Wearing Prada" released the previous month, the North American box office easily passed the 100 million US dollar threshold, reaching 116.89 million US dollars.

The North American box office of this film is extremely promising to exceed 150 million US dollars.

Overseas, "The Devil Wears Prada" is also extremely popular, with a cumulative total of US$81.2 million in overseas box office.

After a month of screenings, the film's popularity in North America has greatly reduced, and Embassy Pictures took advantage of the opportunity to launch a new film, "Hellboy" directed by Gilmour Del Toro.
