Chapter 816： Ed

Just entering August, after a series of auditions, Marvel Entertainment has basically finalized all the members of the Avengers.

Jacques Phoenix is ​​preparing for the Hulk.

Chris Evans agreed to go to the military camp to experience life, as long as he can change his temperament, Ronan will still choose him to play Captain America.

Hayley Atwell has signed a long-term contract with Marvel Entertainment.

Thor, although there is no official announcement of the end of the audition, Kevin Fitch and Jason Momoa have started formal contract negotiations.

Hawkeye Clint Button’s audition, Charlize Theron recommended Stuart Townsend to Ronan, the man behind the Oscar queen.

But Ronan directly rejected Charlize Theron's recommendation.

The actor is mediocre but has a big temper. There are many bad rumors in the circle.

It can be said that, without the appeal of Johnny Depp, he got the disease of Johnny Depp.

In the end, Ronan asked Jeremy Renner, who invited him to audition, to pass the audition, and signed his name very happily in the Marvel Entertainment long-term contract.

This actor born in the 1970s has entered Hollywood since 1995. It can be said that he has rich acting experience and belongs to the type of actor with a small name but very old.

In recent years, he has even starred in films such as "Anti-Terrorist Special Police Group" and "Twelve Years Old Boy", in which he played police and other roles.

These experiences also help him star in Hawkeye Button.

Together with the previously signed Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson, the first six giants of the Avengers have already assembled their personnel.

Of course, the prerequisite for all these cooperations is to sign a long-term contract with Marvel Entertainment.

Even Scarlett Johansson, who has a close relationship with Ronan, is no exception.

In addition to the changes in the movie and the Marvel superhero comics, there are also animations and dramas that can be made, but Marvel will not release related dramas until the first Avengers assembly.

But the animation aspect can be considered appropriately.

Ronan was looking at Marvel comics when he saw a juvenile comic called "Six Heroes", in which there was a robot character called "Da Bai"!

This also made Ronan certain that not only did this comic have been adapted from an animated film, it was also quite successful.

Ronan had forgotten the specific content of the movie a long time ago, but he was very impressed with Da Bai. This role has been very popular since it appeared on the big screen, and the offline peripheral market has received a good response.

Once, there were countless peripheral products related to Dabai around Ronan.

These merchants on the other side of the Pacific Ocean have a keen sense of smell. If they were not popular in the market, they would never pirate.

The proliferation of related products can only explain one point.

Ronan listed the comics of "Six Heroes" separately, and then forwarded it to Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, and handed it over to Chris Leonard to organize staff to discuss related projects.

This is not a current project, but a future project. Only after the success of the Marvel Avengers film series will preparations be made.

The scale of Shahai Entertainment is still expanding steadily. In terms of movies, it is currently guaranteed to produce three to four large-scale commercial productions each year with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, as well as about ten small and medium-sized film projects.

In terms of production ability alone, Relativity Entertainment can undoubtedly rank among the first line of Hollywood, and its distribution ability is not too much, but it is a disadvantage in terms of diversified operations.

In the final analysis, because of the limited time of establishment and the relatively weak foundation, Relativity Entertainment has obvious disadvantages in terms of media.

The most typical, Relativity Entertainment lacks a large enough TV station.

In this regard, there is no urgency. After all, the most influential TV stations in the United States are the only ones, not to mention their value, even if they want to buy it, they can’t buy it.

is less feasible to establish from scratch, the best way is to wait for the opportunity.

In fact, since the day when Relativity Entertainment was founded, regardless of film production, distribution channels, or film library copyright, it has been adopting a buying strategy.

This is undoubtedly the most effective mode of expansion.

In terms of new media on the Internet, Relativity Entertainment is far ahead of other Hollywood companies because of the Netflix network.

The four solo dramas launched by Netflix streaming media were all very successful. With the impetus behind the forces, Netflix's solo dramas gradually began to be called "Netflix's boutique dramas"!

Even, some media are hyping: Netflix products must be excellent!

The huge success of 　　's solo drama also gave Netflix full confidence in the series produced by Shahai Entertainment, and new orders have been passed to Shahai Entertainment.

Of course, "Gossip Girl" ordered a sequel, but "Chernobyl" only has one season, and there will be no second season.

The second and final season of "Prison Break" is being filmed, and it will be available on Netflix streaming next year.

The crew of the second season of "Survival in the Wild", under the leadership of Bell Grylls, is drilling into the most desolate place in the world, continuing to increase the excitement and reality of the show.

This type of show, because of Bell Grylls, has begun to rise.

For example, Netflix submitted a report to Ronan, stating that on the Netflix video, some users uploaded two survival videos that imitated "Modern Robinson" from the "Survival in the Wild" program. The response was quite enthusiastic and attracted Many users watched it and once entered the top five of Netflix's video popularity rankings.

The management of Netflix thought that there might be a market, and asked Ronan for his opinion, and after contacting the video shooter, he sent relevant information to Ronan.

The person who made the video was named Ed Stafford, a former British Army captain.

I have seen the bald man in the video, plus the name Ed Stafford, Ronan has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, thinking of the German master who was once as famous as Pei...

Ronan asked Netflix to continue to contact Ed Stafford. If the other party wants to, he can come to Los Angeles from the UK to meet with Shahai Entertainment.

As long as it is appropriate, Shahai Entertainment can shoot and produce another "Survival in the Wilderness" program with a different style from Bey.

Shahai Entertainment has now strengthened its investment and strength in the production of dramas, except for "Prison Break", "Survival", "Gossip Girl" and "Grey the Trainee" and other sequels that need to be filmed and produced. Many new dramas have also been produced. Or will be on the agenda soon.

The "Lost" project led by Jeffrey Abrams has gone to Hawaii to start filming the first season.

"Breaking Bad" also identified the main actors. The shooting of the first season will soon begin. Since the first season is more about exploring the road, the series will not be very long. It is expected that the shooting and production will be completed within this year.

Other scripts for adaptation projects such as "The Walking Dead" and "Game of Thrones" are being created in an orderly manner.

Ronan proposed the concept of the two dramas, also completed the preliminary planning and related data collection, officially named "American Horror Story" and "Big Bang Theory".

The screenwriters of the two groups will soon be involved in the script creation.

Then there is Netflix’s ace play "House of Cards". The original and script have been sent to David Fincher by Lindsay Bill, but David Fincher’s energy is all on the shooting of "girl". , Has not yet given a clear answer.

During the recent period, "Breaking Bad" director, screenwriter and producer Vince Gilligan also came to the Theory of Relativity Building from time to time to determine the specific launch time of the first season.

But you can't worry about this kind of thing, Ronan also comforted him appropriately and asked him to concentrate on finishing the filming first.

Then there is the film business. Christopher Nolan’s "Fatal Magic" is scheduled to be released next year. Also new movies to be released next year include "Fast and Furious 3", "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", "The Hangover" and "Juneo" and so on.

The sequel movie is a guaranteed sustainable profitable project. Of course, Relativity Entertainment will not give up. The sequel of many horror movies is basically launched every year or every other year.

As a key award-winning project for another Oscar of Relativity Entertainment, the preparations for "Infinite Walker" also ended in July. Martin Scorsese brought together actors such as Tom Cruise and Will Smith to lead the crew to East Coast.

The location of this film is mainly in the two cities of New York and Boston.

Because he promised Tom Cruise and Will Smith, Ronan will also play a small role.

is of course not an important role. The acting skills of a businessman are somewhat different from those of the actors in front of the camera.

Originally, Tom Cruise and Will Smith suggested Ronan to play the role of Mark Walkerberg, but that role is more of a role than Ronan, who has not received any relevant skills training.

Martin Scorsese was struggling to think about it. He wanted to get an Oscar for best director, and he also suggested that Ronan be just a cameo.

Compared with a few old friends, Martin Scorsese Chongao’s intentions are more obvious. Even without "Infernal Walker", he will direct other movies tailored to Oscars.

Movies are always diverse The minds of filmmakers are never purely artistic.

On this point, Ronan has seen it very clearly since he has been in the industry for many years.

Hollywood is not the Hollywood of a certain type of film. A variety of films constitute this global industrial film center.

Relativity Entertainment is also on the road of film diversification, starting from a single horror film, gradually developing in the direction of medium and large-scale production, and then entering film types such as comedy, literature, love, youth, song and dance, game adaptation, and animated feature films. ,

Of course, film adaptations and sequel films are currently the key business of Relativity Entertainment.

In comparison, the original type has a lower sense of existence.

After entering August, Embassy Pictures will release two films, the new film "Madagascar" by DreamWorks Animation Studios, and the game adaptation film "Bloodline" shot and produced by Uvi Bauer.

"Madagascar" was first released in North America.
