Chapter 825: Pillar abused me 100 times

Go to India for food? It was a rather unfamiliar country. Candice Swanepoel thought about it for a long time. Apart from curry, she couldn't think of other Indian food.

Oh, yes, it is said that there is no toilet there.

is a bit scary.

Candice Swanepoel thinks of Michael Bay, and suddenly has a kind of enlightenment and understands what food is.

"Are you going to India?" Candice Swanepoel hesitated a little, not making a decision right away, and immediately bought some time for thinking with questioning.

If you are two years older and stay in Hollywood for another two years, Candice Swanepoel will never hesitate.

But she is not yet eighteen years old after all. Even though she has made rapid progress in the past year and has done a good job of related psychological construction, she still needs to think carefully.

Ronan didn't urge, this was just a proposal, Candice Swanepoel would like to go, he would warmly welcome, if he didn't want to go, he wouldn't force it.

"There is some business to deal with." Ronan said with a smile: "By the way, give myself a few days off."

Actually, there is indeed an official business to deal with, preparing to meet people secretly in Mumbai, but he will not say that even if Candice Swanepoel goes, she will not be allowed to see her.

Steve Jobs finally gave Ronan a clear answer, preparing to communicate with Ronan Wang, Robert Iger and John Lasseter. The meeting between the two should be kept confidential to facilitate the subsequent operations.

In this way, whether it is in Los Angeles or San Francisco, it is not appropriate to meet, after all, Ronan and Jobs are concerned about every move.

Therefore, Ronan accepted Steve Jobs's suggestion and chose to meet in India, but Ronan chose Mumbai.

As for inviting Candice Swanepoel to India, Ronan has his consideration.

Some aspects of India’s laws are very lax. The laws of the United States and California are not efficient there, and Candice Swanepoel is not an American.

Candice Swanepoel asked curiously: "Is India fun? I have never been to it."

Ronan thought for a while, and said, "I am also familiar with Mumbai. The humanities and scenery there are very different from those in the West. Mumbai and Bollywood are also a film industry base with more films annually than Hollywood. "

I vaguely remember that when Payaka-Chopra took him to visit Bollywood, he saw some film crews and danced.

Candice Swanepoel said: "I've heard of Bollywood, and it is said that their shooting speed is very fast."

Ronan nodded slightly: "The overall speed should be a notch faster than Hollywood."

Compared with colleagues in Port City, even in Bollywood, filming is faster.

The two talked about Indian movies. Ronan didn't mention going to India again, as if he hadn't said anything.

But at the end of the dinner, Candice Swanepoel took the initiative to say: "I actually want to see different scenery and different foreign cultures."

Ronan did not urge or speak, leaving Candice Swanepoel to make the decision.

Candice Swanepoel smiled at Ronan: "I have a lot of work during this time. I'll see how to make adjustments when I go back. Can you wait for my call?"

"This is my honour." Ronan's words were also nice.

Candice Swanepoel took out her phone and glanced at the time, and said, "It's almost time, Ronan, you can go work."

Ronan said, "I will ask the driver to see you off."

"No." Candice Swanepoel quickly declined: "I call the car back."

Ronan already beckoned to Finch: "Arrange the car and send Miss Swanepoel back."

Vinci did not speak, nodded, took out his cell phone and sent a text message.

Ronan called the waiter to check out, shook hands with Candice Swanepoel, and said, "Go back."

"Goodbye, Ronan."

Candice Swanepoel followed Vinci out of the restaurant.

Ronan entered the front lobby of the Theory of Relativity Building through the side door of the restaurant, came to the Shahai Entertainment office area on the seventh floor of the building, and entered the conference room on time.

Related participants have been waiting here.

Connie has prepared the materials Ronan will use.

This is an important meeting for the first stage of preparations for "Transformers". In addition to Ronan, Shahai Entertainment CEO George Clint, project director and executive producer Michael Bay, and production manager Bernardson , Scott Swift of the Pacific Foundation, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, Thomas, the release representative of Embassy Pictures, and Hank, the project director of Industrial Light and Magic for special effects cooperation, and other crews The main persons in charge all attended the meeting.

This meeting was presided over by George Clint and first announced a series of preparations, filming and release matters.

The production budget of "Transformers" is tentatively set at 180 million US dollars. All funds will be raised by the Pacific Foundation. The film will start shooting in December and will be transferred to post-production in March next year. It will be released in the summer of 2007. Embassy Pictures Responsible for marketing promotion and global distribution.

In addition, Hasbro will cooperate with the progress of the film to promote the "Transformers" series worldwide.

From the perspective of its own income, Hasbro also hopes that Transformers, one of the company's three ace toy series, can rejuvenate the vitality of the 1910s with the success of the film.

Hasbro used to shoot cartoons in order to promote toys. This aspect of marketing experience can be said to be rich.

Thomas also announced a message: "Embassy Pictures has reached an agreement with 70 publishers and advertising companies from around the world to jointly promote "Transformers."

Hasbro’s Brian Goldner said: “Hasbro’s overseas branches and related authorized companies will also fully cooperate with Embassy Pictures to promote publicity and marketing.”

Ronan nodded with satisfaction: "In addition to filming and production, publicity, marketing and promotion are also the top priority."

This is undoubtedly good news for film projects.

Production manager Benalsen said at this time: "The Optimus Prime film line competition jointly launched by the crew and Netflix has been shared by more than 1 million people worldwide, and more than 10,000 lines have been collected. We have selected some of them. "

While talking, an assistant turned on the projector and invested related investment on the screen of the conference room.

Ronan and others watched them one by one, and most of the selected lines were used by Optimus Prime in the cartoon.

"I think this one is the best!" said Brian Goldner of Hasbro, ".the..all.."

Ronan nodded slowly, and said, "The right to freedom belongs to all beings."

Brian Goldner said: "This is the motto on a toy of Optimus Prime. It is the first concept that Hasbro set for Optimus Prime."

"Appropriate." Ronan said: "It really reflects the character and philosophy of Optimus Prime."

He first said to Thomas: "Choose this sentence for the line, but the collection of lines must continue to maintain the popularity of the Internet." Then he said to Michael Bay: "In the right scene, let Optimus Prime speak this sentence himself. Lines."

Michael Bay thought for a moment, and said, "No problem, this will become the concept of the movie."

Ronan said: "A Cybertron's Transformer, who traveled all the way to the earth to save his life, must have a reasonable reason. This is very appropriate."

It was with the support of this idea that Optimus Prime broke with the brotherly Megatron.

is also this concept, making Optimus Prime a robot that protects humans at the expense of Cybertron.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is a noble Transformer, a pure Transformer, an ideal Transformer, and a Transformer that breaks away from low-level taste and is beneficial to all mankind.

In fact, Hasbro has been very successful in shaping Optimus Prime. It is not just the Gao Daquan image in the cartoon who only shouts "Autobots, transform, and set off".

Optimus Prime, an excellent warrior, a genius military strategist, orator, and political leader, absolutely pays attention to image and has first-rate power.

Once a die-hard Transformers fan, also known as the wire, Ronan has seen a lot of works about Transformers, from cartoons to big movies to derivative comics, and so on. Among them, idw's "Optimus Prime" personal comics left him Under the extremely deep impression.

The most important point of this comic is the story of the growth of Optimus Prime.

In the beginning, Optimus Prime appeared as a frustrated leader and needed to find a balance among the various factions, so he did not hesitate to use his control of beliefs to achieve his own means.

Optimus Prime at this stage has the wisdom and responsibility of the leader, but also the arrogance of the leader. For example, he said that "the leader always does the right thing."

After being baptized by Scarlett’s justice and battle, Optimus Prime realized that “we cannot be bound by the past. Sometimes we must stand up to protect lives, but sometimes we must To make concessions for the same purpose, the role of the leader is to be able to distinguish the difference."

Everyone who likes Transformers will actually not like the ending of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

These two leaders have placed too much feelings on the wire Therefore, the movie is also doomed, Optimus Prime and Megatron will fall in love with each other.

Because it is a unified plan for the entire series, Ronan also has many ideas about the setting of the sequel, such as in comics and toys, letting Optimus Prime and Megatron temporarily join forces for a common purpose and fight side by side.

Once Michael Bay’s movie was also very interesting. Not to mention the plot continuity and the second part, just looking at the first and third parts, Megatron seems to have no intention of killing Optimus Prime.

Especially the third part, it is even more effective at the moment of Optimus Prime crisis...

In this regard, maybe I can do something about it.

Add this setting to Megatron: Pillar abuses me a hundred times, and I treat Pillar like first love.

After the summary of all aspects of work and new arrangements, the meeting soon came to the last item, which Ronan wanted to emphasize and correct.
