Far away in the Levisden film studio in England, it became a panic at this time, and many crew members ransacked boxes and cabinets everywhere.

"Rick, did you find it there?" George Lucas asked Rick McCollum, another producer not far away.

"I didn't find it." Rick McCollum shook his head, "The hotel has been searched inside and out, and there is nothing."

"It really doesn't work, I can only order another one."

Naturally, the props used by the crew cannot be real rubies, but just a very beautiful red glass crystal.

"Then let someone order one right away, anyway, it won't be needed in the next few days."

George Lucas glanced at Natalie Portman and comforted him, "Okay, it's fine, it's just a prop ruby, just pay more attention next time."

During the filming process, it is inevitable that some small props will be lost, and some people even took them as real rubies and stole them, so George Lucas didn't take them to heart at all.

Natalie Portman forced a smile, and a figure appeared in her mind involuntarily.

If it was said that this matter had nothing to do with that person, she would not believe anything.

At this time, a crew assistant came over in a hurry and handed George Lucas a phone in his hand, "It's Ryan Gosling calling."

George Lucas flashed a trace of doubt, reached out to answer the phone, and his face suddenly became strange.

"Sorry, George, it was Scarlett who brought the props back."

While speaking, Ryan gave Scarlett Johansson a hard look, "I have already asked someone to buy a plane ticket to England, and I will probably be able to arrive at Levisden Film Studio tomorrow."

"What a troublesome little guy." Instead of getting angry, George Lucas joked, "It seems that our Natalie has met a difficult opponent."

After chatting for a while, George Lucas hung up the phone and stared at Natalie Portman strangely for quite a while.

"It's Ryan calling.

"

"That ruby ​​prop was brought back to Los Angeles by Scarlett Johansson."

George Lucas coughed lightly, "Remember to be more careful next time."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left somewhat dumbfounded.

Obviously this is a war between two girls.

Scarlett Johansson!

Natalie Portman was stunned for a moment, and then her whole face turned red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

"Scarlett Johansson!"

"Damn bastard, I will never let you go." Natalie Portman yelled out, ignoring the strange looks of the other crew members.

The relationship between the two has dropped from the freezing point to about minus one thousand degrees. It is estimated that the next time they meet, it will be a spark hitting the earth.

Ryan hung up the phone, ignored Scarlett Johansson, but called his secretary John Denise, pointed to the ruby ​​prop on the table, "Find someone and send it to the Star Wars crew."

"Remember to bring some more gifts, such as a big meal or something, and be more sincere, just say Scarlett's apology."

John-Denise looked at the ruby ​​on the table, and asked with some uncertainty: "Boss, this is a real ruby!"

"I think it's safer to find an insurance company or Daniel to take care of the delivery."

"Props, this is just a ruby ​​prop." Ryan was completely speechless. "Of course, it's best not to show it. If it is stolen as a real ruby, it will be a troublesome thing."

Similar things have happened before. For example, when Jackie Chan was filming a movie, the counterfeit US dollars used by the crew were stolen and circulated locally.

One piece crew doggie!

John-Denise was a little baffled. Seeing Ryan's ugly face, she was very interested and didn't continue to ask. She picked up the prop ruby ​​on the table, turned and left the office.

"All right."

"Next, tell me how I should deal with you!" Ryan leaned on the office chair, staring at Scarlett Johansson opposite him with a bad tone.

"How about a big meal?"

Scarlett Johansson didn't seem to be afraid at all, but was eager to try, "The food provided on the plane is simply too bad. How about we go to Chinatown to have a big meal?"

I also want to go to Chinatown for a big meal!

Ryan couldn't help rolling his eyes, "If you don't mind the simple lunch provided by the cafe, you can go out with me, otherwise you can go to Sophia."

"Also, you'd better go back to the crew of "The Horse Whisperer" as soon as possible."

Scarlett Johansson shrugged, "I'll go to Spain and wait for them."

As for England!

In a short time, she will not set foot in the UK.

Ryan checked the time, got up and greeted Scarlett-Johnson to leave the office together.

As for disposal!

He was just talking.

In a high-end coffee shop in North Hollywood, Ryan and Barry Cook had been talking for a while, and Scarlett Johansson was sitting next to him, who was feasting.

Barry Cook glanced at Scarlett Johansson, one of Hollywood's hottest child stars, paid more than most adult stars.

"Mr. Gosling, you should be clear that not only Orion Films is the only film company that intends to invite us, but many film companies including DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox have this intention."

"So the treatment aspect is not my biggest concern."

"I want to know more about Orion Pictures' next plan!" Barry Cook knew that Orion Pictures was very sincere, and the treatment was much better than that of DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox.

However, for him, what he cares most about is not the treatment, but the future direction of development.

Otherwise, he can choose to stay in Disney.

"Okay." Ryan took out a script from his briefcase and handed it to Barry Cook, "You can read the script first before talking about it."

Barry Cook reached out to take the script and read it carefully. After reading less than two pages, he couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "Is this Disney's style?"

"That's right." Ryan admitted, and said, "It's Disney's style, and it's the style that suits you best."

"This will be a 3D animated feature film, and it will be your first full-scale transition to 3D computer animation. The script is adapted from the Grimm's fairy tale "Rapunzel."

For this script, Ryan stayed up for a few days and read the Grimm's fairy tales from beginning to end. He barely wrote the outline of the main line of the script, and the rest needed to be handed over to someone familiar with Disney's style. Let him slowly perfect the plot in the script.

For the first time, Barry Cook felt that the conditions offered by the other party made him unable to refuse, "We have never been exposed to 3D computer animation production technology, and it takes some time to adapt. It is best to get the help of Blue Sky Studio."

"No problem." Ryan agreed, and said, "However, Orion Films is not Disney, and it is impossible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to produce an animated feature film. Film budgets cannot exceed $50 million."

The investment of 50 million US dollars can only be regarded as a medium-scale film for the production cost of animated feature films with an increasingly high budget, neither high nor low.

"If some projects are outsourced, $50 million is enough." Barry Cook naturally knows how to save money, such as outsourcing some basic projects.

"Outsourcing!" Ryan froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something, "Outsource to an overseas production company!"

"Some simple projects can be handed over to animation studios in Japan, which can save a lot of money." Barry-Cook briefly explained.

Many animated films produced by Disney will more or less outsource some projects.

In particular, low-cost animation films are almost always outsourced to Japanese animation studios.

Rui En suddenly remembered something. In his previous life, he seemed to have heard that some well-known animations in Japan were outsourced to Xiangjiang and Wanwan, and Xiangjiang and Wanwan were outsourced to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. A large number of animation production talents.

When he traveled across the Pacific Ocean, various classic animation films emerged one after another, among which "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" had a box office of 5 billion RMB.

Even if it is put on Disney, it will be a blockbuster work.

"You mean outsourcing to Japanese animation studios?" Ryan asked.

"Yes, Japanese animation production technology is good, and the price is cheap."

Barry-Cook was afraid that Ryan would not believe the level of Japanese animation production technology, so he hurriedly said: "Take 3D animation production technology as an example, the most advanced is Pixar Animation Studios, but Japan also has 3D animation production technology. .”

"As far as I know, there is a Japanese animation production company that is producing a 3D animation film, which seems to be called "Blue No. 6"."

The original work of "Blue No. 6" is a Japanese juvenile manga known for its science fiction themes in the 1960s. In 1998, a 4-episode OVA animation - "Blue No. 6" was released.

Most importantly, this is a 3D animation film, and it is also the first 3D animation film in Japan.

"But as far as I know, some animation studios in Japan are outsourced to Xiangjiang and Wanwan, while Xiangjiang and Wanwan are outsourced to Huaguo." Be clear about this matter.

"Is Japan also outsourced?" Barry-Cook was surprised and couldn't even believe his ears.

Hollywood is outsourced to Japan, Japan is outsourced to Xiangjiang and Wanwan, and Xiangjiang and Wanwan are outsourced to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Hollywood has another outsourcer India, such as "Garfield", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Shrek" all have Indian companies involved.

"it seems to be like this. "

Ryan shrugged, "Mr. Barry, when you officially join Orion Films, you can investigate it yourself."

"I will definitely." Barry-Cook almost cursed out loud, because those Japanese outsourcing companies don't have to do anything, just outsource again, and they can make a fortune as soon as they change hands.

Of course, he still has a question. After many times of outsourcing, the price must become very low, and the company on the other side of the Pacific Ocean can still accept it!

Next, the two talked about the details for a while, and Barry Cook got up and left with the script. He needed to go back and discuss with the rest of the people.

An investment budget of at least 50 million US dollars, and the transformation to produce a 3D animation feature film, is enough to show the sincerity of Orion Pictures.

No one jokes about a $50 million investment.
