Best of Hollywood

The current CAA is far from reaching its peak period. The CAA at its peak in the previous life has challenged many Hollywood giants.

Under caa's package service, the director doesn't have to worry about anything, as long as he can shoot with peace of mind.

But CAA is too strong, and the director will soon become a puppet, without the right to cast, edit, or even modify the script.

If the above requirements are barely acceptable, then the following requirements are unacceptable to most directors.

CAA Shichang revised the script for its big-name stars so that the characters in the script fit the actor's image, and even pushed the entire script to be rewritten.

You heard it right, it's not that the actor fits the role, but the role needs to fit the actor.

This kind of speechless thing can only be done by caa.

Ryan naturally doesn't want to be a puppet director under CAA, as for art awards!

To **** with it.

No matter in his previous life or in this life, he has never thought of pursuing art. Business is the core of the film. Only films that cater to the needs of the public are the real art, not just to cater to a small group of people.

Ryan didn't stay long at the banquet, greeted Tom Cruise, and left the banquet with Mia.

Early the next morning, he personally sent Mia to report to the University of Southern California. At the same time, he chatted with the former professors and mentors for a while, all about movies and praises for George Lukes.

Famous USC alumni, no kidding.

In the next few days, Ryan focused on the promotion of "Saw 2", as if he had forgotten what happened at the banquet.

During the period, Monica Bellucci specially came back from England to participate in the promotional activities of the film.

She has a lot of complaints about the director of "Leaving Las Vegas", Mike Figgis. The strict requirements are scary. Often a shot needs to be shot more than ten times. all day.

"Art films are like this. Everything is based on artistry, so the requirements for film shooting have always been strict. Only in this way can we please the academics."

"Although most of them will not actually watch the content of the film." Ryan was not surprised at all,

Most of the judges for the Oscar awards are elderly people, and it is impossible to watch every film once to evaluate the artistry contained in it.

"Oscar always does."

Monica Bellucci showed a helpless look, "I heard that 20th Century Fox wants to hold a premiere ceremony for the promotion of "Saw 2", may I invite some friends over!"

Regarding the box office expectations of "Chain Saw 2", Twentieth Century Fox is very optimistic, even spending money to hold a premiere ceremony.

It's rare, even in Hollywood, for a horror movie to have its premiere.

"no problem."

"I will say hello to 20th Century Fox." Ryan agreed.

"Thank you." Monica Bellucci showed a sweet smile.

As she guessed, Ryan would not refuse such an easy request.

Sometimes she really wants to date him, at least she will be a very good date.

However, she has seen clearly about Hollywood for a long time. It is almost impossible for a young and talented director like Ryan to have any results with her. Instead of turning against each other in the future, it is better to keep it like this.

As for the friend she was talking about, it was just a friend she knew in the fashion industry. Like her, she had entered the film and television industry a long time ago and had a lot of fame in Spain.

This time I came to Hollywood to try to find some opportunities, and by the way, take a look at the popularity of "Chain Saw 2".

"I should go, Helen is coming." Monica Bellucci stood up, kissed Ryan's cheek lightly, and hurriedly left the apartment.

It seemed that she didn't want to meet Helen in the apartment, and Ryan could only show a helpless smile about this.

Under the same manager's banner, there are always some things to avoid. In other words, every manager doesn't want to see scandals flying among the actors under his own agency.

Not long after, Helen opened the door and walked in, made herself a cup of coffee, then sat on the sofa, looked at Ryan, "I hope you can pay attention to Monica, it is best not to make any negative news. "

"Don't worry, they are all tabloid reporters, and they have no influence on me." Ryan didn't care about it.

It was nothing more than some tabloid reporters who secretly took intimate photos of him and Monica Bellucci.

"I'm not worried about you, but I hope you won't affect Monica."

"When she comes back this time, in addition to cooperating with the promotion of "Chain Saw 2", she also has to participate in a very important audition."

Helen said very cautiously: "Twentieth Century Fox has approved a sci-fi film with an investment of up to 75 million US dollars. She may have the opportunity to play an important female role in it."

Twentieth Century Fox!

Science fiction film, $75 million investment!

A picture emerged in Ryan's mind, a scene of an American president personally flying a plane and fighting against aliens, "You mean Roland Emmerich, the sci-fi masterpiece that is about to be directed!"

"It is indeed a very good opportunity."

"Independence Day", a film invested by 20th Century Fox, directed by Roland Emmerich, starring Bill Pullman and Will Smith, has an investment of up to 75 million US dollars.

The global box office has achieved 817 million US dollars, and the North American box office is also as high as 306 million US dollars, becoming the annual box office champion in North America.

If he remembers correctly, there should be two important female characters in the film, one is David's ex-wife and an assistant to the President of the United States. Another is Steve's girlfriend,

According to his speculation, the role that Monica Bellucci wants to fight for should be the first one, the wife of the protagonist David in the film.

The reason is very simple. Will Smith, one of the protagonists of the film, is himself a black man, and the other female character is his girlfriend. The crew is likely to choose a black female actor.

"What do I need to do!" Ryan asked.

In fact, neither of the two female characters in the film is a leading actress.

This is an out-and-out sci-fi film, the protagonist can only be an alien, and two male characters, and the female characters are at most supporting roles in the film.

Of course, even if it is not a leading actress, there will still be countless actresses competing for it. After all, the investment of up to 75 million US dollars is enough to make any Hollywood female star put down her figure.

"The promotion of "Saw 2" is the greatest help to her. Two consecutive films have sold well at the box office, so that it can attract the attention of 20th Century Fox." Helen said.

Ryan nodded, he was not worried about the box office of "Chain Saw 2", "No problem."

Seeing that Ryan was full of confidence in the release of "Saw 2", Helen showed a satisfied expression and said, "This time I bring you two pieces of news, one is good and the other is bad."

"Touchstone Pictures has agreed to the filming plan of "The Truman Show". In addition to being a director, you can also serve as an executive producer and screenwriter, including the final editing rights of the film and other rights."

"There is still a producer candidate, Jill-Anne-Hurd can be considered."

Speaking of this, Helen paused, and said: "The premise is that you can only get the short-term income of the film, and the copyright of the film will belong to Touchstone."

The rules of Hollywood are like this, the film copyright has always been the taboo of major film companies, Ryan has no doubts about this.

Anyway, it is impossible to shoot a sequel in the future, at most, you will lose a long-term meal ticket~www.wuxiahere.com~ But the cooperation with Touchstone itself shocked Ryan, this time it is not a verbal agreement, nor is it a search for investors , but a formal cooperation plan. If there is no accident, the preliminary preparations for the crew can begin soon.

"So what about the bad news!" Ryan had already speculated about the bad news.

"Michael Ovitz seems to be very dissatisfied with you for leaking information to the outside world."

Helen looked a little solemn and said: "He is very influential in the Jewish circle. Showing dissatisfaction with you this time will likely affect the release plan of "Leaving Las Vegas" next year and the impact on the Oscars. "

"However, you don't have to worry too much. The film's leading actor, Nicolas Cage, is born in the Coppola family after all. Michael Ovitz can't influence it by revealing his truth."

"Furthermore, the distributor of the film is Fox Searchlight Pictures, with the support of its parent company, 20th Century Fox. Even Michael Ovitz and CAA dare not make any small moves."

Ryan showed an expression that was as expected. If Helen wasn't a Jew, he would have to expose his dirty words.

Next, the two talked about some issues about "The Truman Show". The sooner the crew prepares, the better. It is not an easy task to build a town that meets the shooting needs.

At the same time, you can also find a suitable real scene, such as a small town that meets the shooting requirements.

There is another key point, Ryan can't join the crew right away, he has to shoot another film, the preparatory work of the crew can only be temporarily handed over to Helen, Sophia, and Touchstone.

That's why he recommended Jill-Anne-Hurd to be the producer of the film.
