Six Hundred and Fiftieth IX Heroine Candidates
Ronan met Spielberg at a Tom Hanks party due to co-productions on The Da Vinci Code and Mamma Mia.
"I heard that the "Iron Man" project is looking for a suitable actress?"
Having dealt with many times, and with the cooperation of Artisan Pictures, Spielberg and Ronan are also very familiar, and the two sides are a loose offensive and defensive alliance, so Spielberg's words are also a bit straightforward: "I have Personal choice."
Ronan wanted to give Spielberg a proper face, saying: "Let her agent contact Kevin Fitch, and I will greet him and arrange an audition."
He said to Connie who was following, "Remember to call Kevin Fitch."
The ordinary-looking female assistant nodded slightly.
But Spielberg's words didn't end here, and he said: "It's one of my goddaughters. The development has not been smooth in the past few years. I need an opportunity. I don't have a suitable role for the time being."
As we all know, Spielberg has a lot of goddaughters and godsons, and he is famous for taking care of them.
Of course Ronan understood what Spielberg meant, but he didn't want to give more preferential treatment, and asked deliberately: "Steven, you're not talking about Drew Barrymore, are you? I remember what she did in the production industry. Yes, Blossom Pictures has successively succeeded in investing.”
Spielberg was a little helpless, but his heart is indeed relatively good in Hollywood, and he said immediately: "It's not Drew, it's Gwyneth Paltrow."
Sure enough, the name did not surprise Ronan at all.
The little pepper used to be able to get so many resources in the early stage, and when the later development was not going well, he could still get on the car of Marvel Chaoying. The relationship network behind him must have played an important role.
Ronan had a bad impression of Gwyneth Paltrow, the most famous princess patient in Hollywood.
"Miss Paltrow is the Oscar queen." Ronan politely refused: "To be honest, this heroine is actually just a supporting actress, with very few roles, and she doesn't match Miss Paltrow, and the salary is extremely low, with a budget of only 50,000 yuan. U.S. dollars to $100,000."
Having said that, Spielberg's interest dropped instantly. After all, he knew that Gwyneth Paltrow was a very proud person and might not be able to appreciate such a small role.
Ronan changed the subject in a timely manner: "How is the distribution channel integration going?"
"Basically done.
Spielberg's attention also returned to DreamWorks: "There were some difficulties in the middle, you know, some people think that DreamWorks is a threat." "
Ronan nodded slightly: "They also think that Relativity Entertainment is a threat."
Spielberg added: "So, we have to work closely together to fight against those people."
Ronan nodded slowly, thinking of the plan agreed with Robert Iger, and said: "Steven, it's not enough for us to defend passively. DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment must find a suitable time to launch a sharp attack against one of them." Fight back and tell Hollywood and the entire business world that we not only have the strength to protect ourselves, but also to fight the enemy."
Spielberg nodded first, and then shook his head: "Dreamworks has just stabilized a little bit, and it's currently not strong enough."
Ronan gradually put the conversation on the desired track: "So, we're going to work closely together."
Hearing what he just said, Spielberg focused his eyes slightly and asked, "It's not easy to find opportunities."
Ronan didn't say anything clearly, but instead asked, "Steven, what do you think of Walt Disney's recent personnel changes and internal confrontation?"
"Walt Disney?" Spielberg pushed down his glasses, "They are indeed in a lot of trouble."
Ronan smiled: "Maybe they will have more troubles in the future."
Spielberg said: "I hope that Paramount Pictures will be in trouble. Of course, Disney's more trouble is not a bad thing."
Ronan whispered: "DreamWorks has integrated distribution channels, and Paramount Pictures can't swallow you."
Spielberg understood the key, saying, "Paramount Pictures won't have another chance."
Ronan glanced at Tom Hanks not far away, and suggested, "Steven, let's find a place to talk."
Spielberg nodded: "I'll borrow a lounge from Tom."
The two greeted Tom Hanks and quickly went to the second floor. When they came out again, it was already more than half an hour later.
Ronan and Spielberg had no further contact with other people, and after saying goodbye to Tom Hanks, they left directly.
Although DreamWorks has not developed smoothly in the past two years and encountered a series of difficulties. Even David Geffen left the DreamWorks system with music and other departments, but the company's confidence is unmatched by ordinary small and medium-sized companies. The basic strength is still there.
Moreover, after spending a huge amount of money to obtain the distribution channel of Artisan Pictures from Relativity Entertainment, DreamWorks has attracted new investment, and Spielberg's previous ambitions have gradually returned.
Relativity Entertainment and DreamWorks have conflicts, but the conflicts are currently under control, and the common enemy of both parties is enough to suppress the conflicts.
In fact, Ronan is very clear that at this point, if there is no DreamWorks, the situation of Relativity Entertainment will never be as easy as it is now.
After all, no matter how you look at it, DreamWorks is better than Relativity Entertainment.
Similarly, without Relativity Entertainment, DreamWorks would have faced much more pressure.
Ronan also hopes that at some point, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment can stand together and jointly cut some cakes from one of the six major companies.
Of course, he will not relax his vigilance against DreamWorks.
Spielberg is a good old man, and personally, even among the better-hearted people in Hollywood.
But no matter how good a good guy is, when he becomes the spokesperson of the interests of many capitals, he will also have a vicious side.
Even if Spielberg does not do it, the power of capital will push him to do it. If he does not do it, capital will inevitably replace a new spokesperson for interests in a company with a complex ownership structure like DreamWorks.
In the next few days, for Spielberg's sake, the "Iron Man" crew sent Gwyneth Paltrow an audition invitation for Pepper, but not surprisingly, Gwyneth Paltrow After the initial audition, both the crew and the actors chose to refuse.
The crew was not very satisfied with the image of Gwyneth Paltrow, thinking that it did not meet the requirements of the vase.
Gwyneth Paltrow was also dissatisfied with the roles and pay.
For star actors, crew and roles are often two-way choices.
Most of the really popular actors are not very interested in the role of Pepper, especially when the long-term contract and salary are in front of them.
But Ronan got a call from Milla Jovovich, who expressed interest in the role.
Two consecutive "Resident Evil" successes, Alice made Milla Jovovich, but also limited Milla Jovovich.
Probably Milla Jovovich or her agent also saw this problem and wanted to start an acting career in other routes besides Alice.
Ronan did not respond specifically, but left it to Kevin Fitch and Jon Favreau, who led the audition, to make the choice.
However, Kevin Feige sent him a list of auditions for the leading actress, and there were unexpectedly many familiar names in the list.
These people are not actors, but supermodels.
Victoria's Secret model Heidi Klum.
Although supermodels are paid very little for starring in movies, they also have certain popularity and popularity, but they will not be the first choice of the crew.
Acting skills are still a basic consideration. If the basic acting skills pass the test, then there is no problem.
Ronan originally didn't want to participate in the audition for the heroine of "Iron Man", but there was a person who changed his mind.
"Hello, Uncle Anderson."
Appearing in the reception room was a girl less than twenty years old: "Do you remember me?"
Ronan shook hands with her and said, "Hello, Cotty, this is not the first time we have met." He said deliberately, "Call me Ronan, let's leave your father alone and talk about our relationship .”
This is a very tall girl. Calculated according to the metric system, she is definitely more than 1.75 meters. She is not particularly beautiful, but she has an elegant and restrained temperament. She has the most common brown hair in Western women. With a faint smile, his gestures show a good tutor.
Cody Horn, who previously worked with Relativity Entertainment, had a supporting role on Mean Girls. ,
Being able to get this role, on the one hand, is because of his good ability, and on the other hand, because he has a good father-Alan Horn, the president of Warner Bros. Pictures.
A few years ago, Kodi Horn showed Ronan the script she wrote. Because of Alan Horn's relationship, Ronan and Kodi Horn exchanged ideas about the script and Some perspectives on the role.
This girl left a deep impression on Ronan at the time. Kedi Horn was very interested in acting, but she didn't want to cause trouble for her father's work.
There are not many young girls with such a clear mind in Hollywood.
Some girls who come from a wealthy family and are interested in fame and acting career more often become the type of Paris Hilton or Gwyneth Paltrow.
Ronan still remembers that Kotie Horn, who looked like a high school student at that time, said solemnly: Dad's work must not be affected by my trivial matter.
This is really rare.
Therefore, Ronan has always had a good impression of Cody Horn.
"You want something from me?" Ronan looked at Cody Horn.
Perhaps because of the natural development of Caucasians, Cody Horne appears to be much more mature than a few years ago.
Still, she came across as good as ever.
Cotie Horn's long brown hair is tied into a simple ponytail. She wears a simple gray tight-fitting shirt on her upper body and slim cropped pants on her lower body. Due to her tall height, even without high heels, she still has very long legs
Although it is not a very beautiful type, it is still very temperamental.
