Chapter 1000： weakness

Ronan remembers who was the heroine of the "Hunger Games" series because of a certain door in Hollywood. After all, too many people in China have seen the photos of the big cousin, some of which are comparable in scale Women artists of the San Fernando Valley.

The eldest cousin seems to be born in the 90s. It’s only 2007. Who knows where the eldest cousin drinks milk?

Ronan said, "Do you have any suggestions for actors to play Katniss?"

George Clint thought for a while, and said, "CAA has many new actresses, many of whom are of good standards...Of course, our eyes need not be limited to CAA. A wide range of auditions can be held at that time."

Ronan nodded slightly, which is also a good way.

Lindsay Bill interjected: "I have an actor recommendation."

"Tell me." Ronan knew that Lindsay Bill was a reliable person and would not recommend an amazing actor.

Lindsay Bill said immediately: "CAA recommended me a new actor in the second half of last year, and wanted her to play a small role in "Gossip Girl" or other projects. Ronan, you know, We have worked closely with CAA on TV drama projects, so I met the actress and asked her to audition for a role in "Gossip Girl."

Ronan is not surprised by this. According to the good cooperative relationship between Relativity Entertainment and CAA, under the same conditions, the crew of Shahai Entertainment will definitely give priority to candidates for CAA.

Lindsay Bill continued: "She has mediocre acting skills, but she is also above the basic level. The most important point is that Katniss has a lot of action scenes, which requires actors to have vigorous skills. This actress is born as a model and has experienced it. Professional physical training, served in the Israeli army..."

Hearing this, Ronan had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and asked: "Served in the Israeli army? Israelis?"

Lindsay Bill replied: "Yes, the Israelis are called Gal Gadot."

After listening to the previous introduction, Ronan guessed and didn’t have any surprises about the name. He said, “Well, since you are optimistic about her, keep in touch with her and invite her after the "Hunger Games" crew is established. Attend the audition for Katniss."

Lindsay-Bill said, "Okay."

George Clint has no opinion on this. Most of the lead actors of the film crew can win the audition, and often they are recommended by the industry.

Even in many cases, the recommendation of a qualified person in the industry is more important than the audition result.

The three-person meeting soon ended. Ronan returned to the office and took time to read the first draft script of "The Hunger Games" that Lindsay Bill had completed.

In recent times, with the help of the popularity of "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" has rushed to the top five of the New York Times bestseller list. When Relativity Entertainment is launching a movie promotion, maybe There is also the possibility of rushing to the championship.

Although the island country's plagiarism of "Battle Royale" has not been interrupted, the North American side has not been affected at all.

As long as the first film is successfully adapted, "The Hunger Games" will definitely be shot into a movie trilogy.

Since Robert Iger is responsible for the company's daily operations, Ronan focuses more on film and television projects.

Ronan replied to Lindsay Bill about the "Hunger Games" script, but the script still needs to be polished.

Then, he began to approve the new project submitted by Shahai Entertainment.

Most of them are sequel movies. Since there are successful precedents, the sequel project is a natural thing.

In terms of new projects, Jeff Abrams ended the post-production of "Hurricane Rescue 3" and will officially transfer to the preparation of "Clover Archives" after his vacation.

This alternative science fiction film will be released next year.

With the completion of the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy, the cooperation between Shahai Entertainment and Liam Neeson has reached a new stage.

According to Ronan's request, Shahai Entertainment's screenwriter used the outline he provided as a template and came up with a project script about rescue on a plane.

After Ronan watched it, he was transferred to Liam Neeson, and the actor read the script first.

The rescue path of this veteran movie star only entered the middle stage.

Of course, don’t worry about the project named "Air Rescue" by Ronan. "Hurricane Rescue 3" will be released on holiday this year. New rescue films will have to be one to two years apart.

is too frequent, it will also cause the audience to feel bored.

Needless to say, the Marvel superhero movie project under Relativity Entertainment is steadily advancing. The alternative superhero movie "King of the Sea", under the leadership of director and producer Matthew Vaughan, has reached the final stage of preparations. .

Matthew Vaughan also submitted the latest report to Ronan. The crew determined all the main actors. In the audition for the crucial heroine, Chloe Moretz, who grew up one year old, came out. After being encircled and defeating many strong competitors including Dakota Fanning, he finally got this role.

Ronan also watched an audition video of Chloe Moretz. The super killer when he was a child was really pretty, cute, and adorable.

Who would have thought that Chloe Moretz would become that way when he grows up.

And it’s not a serious fat problem, but a natural skeleton, which is very difficult to handle.

Anyway, Chloe Moritz when he was a child was enough to make a big cut.

The film will start shooting this year and will be released next year.

Different from Marvel’s superhero movies, "King of the Sea" is larger and bloodier.

Matthew Vaughan also plans to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment for a long time, and plans to re-produce the new version of "Ace Agent" after the filming of "King of the Sea".

is based on the comics recreated by Mark Miller based on the first version of the movie, and then adapted for the movie.

In order to get investment from the Abu Dhabi consortium, the "Ace Agent" filmed and produced by Shahai Entertainment was not a success. It was just that through Hollywood-style operations, the production party made a lot of profits.

This also laid the foundation for the establishment of Relativity Entertainment.

Now that he has the opportunity to re-adapt and shoot, Ronan also plans to let Matthew Vaughan try it.

Now Hollywood agents, all of them have become like Jason Byrne, retro-style gentleman agents, but they will stand out from the crowd.

The wind direction of the movie market is not static.

Moreover, the investment in this project will not be particularly high, at best it will only be a medium to upper-scale investment project.

Ronan finished dealing with Shahai Entertainment's film and television project, and then carefully looked at Connie's latest literary work list, including the New York Times bestseller list, as well as some novels and literary works that have received more attention recently.

In this list of literary works, all works whose adaptation copyrights have been sold are marked by Connie, with both transaction time and information on the purchaser.

With the current situation in Hollywood, once the adaptation copyright of a literary work falls into the hands of medium and large film companies, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to get it back.

Therefore, Ronan is the first to pay attention to copyrighted works that have not been sold.

It didn't take long for him to see a familiar name-"Weakness: Game Progress".

The former Sandra Bullock is considered to be one of the most beautiful actresses since Oscar entered the new century, and the film where she won the best actress is called "Weakness."

Ronan saw the name of this documentary literature and remembered this film, and there was a vague impression. Sandra Bullock seemed to have an expression from beginning to end.

used to get an Oscar for this film, and it was more about PR and qualifications.

Ronan took a closer look at the relevant materials of this literary work.

"Weakness: The Progress of the Game" was published in 2006. The author is Michael Lewis. He is a special writer of "Vanity Fair" and is considered a relatively famous documentary writer in the United States.

This is a creation by Michael Lewis based on a real event. It tells a real experience of Mississippi State University football star tackle Michael Och and his adoptive parents, Taosi and his wife.

In the movie Ronan once saw, I don’t remember the specific name of the actor in it, but I remember it as a black man and it was also a football theme.

Michael Och is also black and a star player in the NCAA.

According to the relevant information collected by Connie, many teams in the NFL are very interested in Michael Och.

Ronan is basically certain that this is the source of the adaptation of the film once starring Sandra Bullock.

The vast majority of films that have won heavyweight Oscar awards are also realistic themes, and the most common ones are adaptations.

confirmed this Ronan immediately sent "Weakness: The Progress of the Game" and related materials to Robert Lee, and asked his department to get the copyright as soon as possible.

Rugby is the most popular sport in North America. NFL is the nation's number one professional sports league, and it kills other events. Therefore, rugby is also the most marketable sports movie type in North America.

Once a company notices "Weakness: The Progress of the Game", it is estimated that it will be moved.

Michael Auch's experience is very resignation, and it is also in line with the mainstream family and the mainstream value orientation of black and white coexistence in American society.

If this year or next year, Michael Och participates in the NFL Draft and enters the NFL with a lower overall pick, which may attract more attention.

This kind of thing is really fast and fast.

Robert Lee moved very fast. He sent someone to contact Michael Lewis the next day, but Michael Lewis was not a newcomer and had experience working in Vanity Fair. He asked for a $5 million authorization fee.

To shoot this kind of film, it is not only necessary to obtain the adaptation rights, since all real people exist, at least the authorization of Michael Och himself and the Taosi family must be obtained, otherwise it will be quite troublesome later.

Until the Oscars ceremony, Relativity Entertainment negotiated the project, which cost a total of 6 million US dollars and basically got all the relevant authorizations.

However, this project will not be put on the schedule immediately, at least it will have to wait for Michael Auch to enter the NFL.

At the end of February, the awards season came to the final superb stage-the 79th Oscar Awards!
