It's not that Ryan has any ideas about Sony Pictures, or is disgusted, that's why he has no interest in directing the "Godzilla" project, but that he really doesn't know how to shoot a monster movie from Japan.

Even if there is an original version of the plot, he doesn't know how to choose.

If it is a film with an investment of 10 to 20 million US dollars, he can modify it as he likes, and even shoot according to his own ideas, because he has this level himself.

Even if the box office of the film is not ideal, or even fails.

But with Ryan's current status, he can completely afford a small failure, and it won't have much impact on him.

But Sony Pictures' "Godzilla" project is different. First of all, the investment budget of the film is as high as 130 million US dollars. Even if you look at the whole Hollywood, it is a commercial film with huge investment. It is impossible for any director to play it arbitrarily.

Furthermore, Godzilla is a monster from Japan, not from the United States, which indirectly creates a problem. Is it based on the image of Godzilla in Japan? Or turn it into a Native American monster!

The former will definitely not adapt to the North American market, and may even lose the entire European and American markets. Once the latter turns it into a monster in the United States, it also risks losing the Japanese and Southeast Asian markets, and there is another key problem.

For many people behind Sony Pictures, this will lose the meaning of spending $130 million to shoot "Godzilla", which is far from the meaning of promoting Japan's cultural industry.

So even if Ryan dare not say it, he can grasp the balance between the two.

Of course, he has to admit one thing. At present, Japanese culture has more market than Chinese culture in North America. At this time, it is a very suitable time for Sony Pictures to launch a monster from Japan.

Just according to Ryan's estimation, Roland Emmerich will not add much Japanese culture to the film, and will turn Godzilla into a local American monster, thus ensuring the box office in North America and European countries.

The reason is very simple. With more Japanese culture in the film, it is very likely to become a niche film and completely lose the North American box office market.

Even in "Terminator 3", Ryan specially invited an action guidance team from Xiangjiang to design fighting actions for Charlize-Theron, but did not add any Chinese culture, just to avoid the possibility of becoming a niche movie.

As for the famous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the previous life,

The film itself is a film specially shot according to the understanding of Western audiences.

To put it bluntly, the entire plot of the film is for Westerners.

What's more, most of the movie theaters where this film is shown are almost all near Chinatown, as well as areas populated by Chinese and Asians.

In Ryan’s previous life, Chinese culture could be seen in many Hollywood movies. It’s not that Chinese culture is so popular in North America, but that the film market on the other side of the Pacific is rising so fast that it’s about to become the second largest box office market in the world in one fell swoop. , second only to North America.

For example, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" reached 5.634 billion, which is about 900 million US dollars converted into US dollars, which is too high for any Hollywood film company to ignore.

It is a huge box office market that many Hollywood film companies cannot ignore. In order to make the audience on the other side of the Pacific buy it, Hollywood film companies not only added Chinese culture to the film, but even invited some stars on the other side of the Pacific to star.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hollywood film companies are willing to change everything for the sake of profit, and even bow their heads to praise each other.

Ryan could not deny that Orion Films had long been eyeing the market across the Pacific, just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

After chatting with Moritz Berman, Ryan got up and walked to the recording studio, where Charlize Theron had just finished recording.

"How about it!"

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and coin red envelopes every day, as long as you pay attention, you can receive them. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Public number [book friend base camp]

"How's the sunshine in Hawaii?" Ryan leaned against the door of the recording studio, looking at Charlize Theron in front of him, his skin seemed to be a little darker.

"Very good." Charlize Theron had just returned from a vacation in Hawaii, both mentally and physically, she was relaxed, and she was temporarily away from the busy noise of the crew.

The filming of the crew was far less easy than outsiders imagined, and even far exceeded her own expectations.

Wearing a tight leather jacket and stepping on high heels, she appeared on the screen as a sexy beauty, performing fierce fights, and her slender figure seemed to attract the attention of countless audiences.

In fact, wearing high heels is not suitable for fighting movements at all, not to mention all kinds of difficult movements, even if you walk normally, you have to be careful for fear of accidentally falling down.

It is conceivable that when Charlize-Theron wore high heels to shoot the fight scene, it was a kind of ordeal, which made her miserable.

But Charlize Theron persevered.

"Where's Penelope!"

Ryan glanced, but did not see Penelope Cruz, and asked: "It seems that some media say that you should be inseparable."

"She's back in Spain, and it will take a few days to come back." Charlize Theron pouted, as if she didn't care about Penelope Cruz.

"As for the inseparable relationship that the media said?"

"To be precise, in some gossip news, it should be gay." She was speechless.

There have been rumors of homosexuality among many female stars in Hollywood, such as Angelina Jolie, Kate Blanchett, Evan Rachel and so on.

As for whether it is true or not, only I know.

"Gay?"

Ryan's expression became a little weird, he looked Charlize-Theron up and down, and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with being gay."

Homosexuality and bisexuality are common in both Hollywood and the modeling world.

Charlize Theron naturally understood what he meant and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

She didn't continue to talk about this boring topic. She got up and came back with two cups of coffee, handed one of the coffees to Ryan, and asked, "I heard that the movie will be released during Christmas?"

"that's about right."

Ryan took the coffee, lowered his head and took a sip, and said, "Probably the time should be a little earlier than the Christmas schedule, and it depends on the length of post-production special effects."

Regarding the release time of "Terminator 3", although it has not been announced to the public, it is not a secret at all to Hollywood people.

The current schedule suitable for the release of "Terminator 3" is only this year's Christmas schedule and next year's summer schedule.

"Charlie, when the movie is released, your performance will definitely surprise everyone." Ryan put down his coffee and said honestly.

Charlize Theron shrugged and said, "I'd rather hear your advice than that."

"Helen, I hope I will develop into an action actress."

The release of "Terminator 3" will definitely surprise everyone. Unfortunately, she is only the villain in the film. Even if she can take advantage of the popularity of the film for a while, she can't fundamentally change anything, at most increase her popularity.

Film companies value not only popularity, but also box office appeal.

"Get more action movies."

"If you have a chance, you can try to support the box office of a film by yourself." Ryan thought for a while, but he didn't have any good suggestions for the time being.

"Whenever you can, like Julia Roberts, support the box office of an action movie alone, that is when you become an action actress, and even turn it into a series of movies."

There are few female series films in Hollywood, and it can be said that there is almost none at this stage.

Even in the previous life, there were not many female series films, only a few, and there were only a handful of films whose names could be remembered.

In addition to the "Tomb Raider" series, the "Resident Evil" series, and the "Underworld" series.

Further down, there's only the Wonder Woman franchise.

"Okay, you're still young and have enough time to think about something easy."

"For example, the promotional interview in the afternoon." Ryan told her not to worry too much.

The development of a Hollywood actress is not easy, and action actresses are even more difficult. In order to support the box office of a series of action movies, in addition to hard work, luck is also essential.
