Best of Hollywood

Chapter 37 The Touchstone

Little Scarlett Johansson is playing with an actress, learning how to act for a while, looking very serious.

Monica Bellucci flipped through the script in her hand, glanced at little Scarlett Johansson, and asked in surprise, "Where did Helen find the little actor?"

"It seemed very spiritual and serious."

The most troublesome thing in Hollywood is not the big stars, nor the members of the $20 million club, but the small actors and equally difficult animal actors.

A young actor with spirituality and seriousness will never lack opportunities in Hollywood.

Of course, the longer the more disabled except.

"Helen knew her mother, a well-known Jewish producer." Ryan did not hide this.

He is naturally a little proud that little Scarlett Johansson can join the crew.

Even though the other party is still a little girl less than ten years old, her ability to enter the state is faster than some adults, as if she was born to be an actor.

At least you don't have to worry about finding a suitable young actor in the future. Maybe when little Scarlett-Johnson grows up, you can invest in Sofia to film "Lost in Translation" in advance.

He doesn't want to be just a director, it is necessary to invest in other films.

"Jewish producer?"

A hint of envy flashed across Monica Bellucci's face, and said, "An enviable background."

Don't underestimate the influence of Jewish people in Hollywood. Even an unknown producer still has many contacts.

For example, the well-known Steven Spielberg, one of the three giants of DreamWorks in the future, is a Jewish man, and in major film companies, distribution companies, media companies, and even Wall Street, bank executives, etc. A large number of Jewish people exist.

DreamWorks Studio was founded in October 1994, which means that DreamWorks has not yet been established.

What's more, the Jewish community is notoriously united and likes to help Jewish newcomers, otherwise Gal-Gadot would not have developed so smoothly in Hollywood in his previous life.

"The Jewish circle has always been like this." Ryan smiled lightly and didn't say much.

But the Monica Bellucci in front of me is a pity in her previous life. Her background is nothing special. The famous film "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was only invested by an Italian film company, and the box office in North America was not so ideal. , only more than 14 million US dollars.

Of course, as a distribution company, Miramax Films can still make a lot of money, but I don’t know if Harvey Weinstein has ever called her attention!

According to the rumors of Harvey Weinstein, the delicacy that has reached the mouth should not be missed.

However, it seems that Monica Bellucci has not been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, and it is likely that she did not respond to Harvey Weinstein.

Who is Monica Bellucci? Almost all the men in Europe are attracted by her, the recognized goddess, even Harvey Weinstein dare not use force casually.

The greatest possibility is that Monica Bellucci has no plans to go to Hollywood again, so naturally ignore him,

As for the reputation of Harvey-Weinstein, there is no need to say too much. Domineering, lustful, liar, strong, etc., there are countless terms that can be summed up.

Fortunately, Ryan didn't have to deal with him.

"Is "Saw" released by 20th Century Fox?" Monica Bellucci couldn't help asking

She knew that Ryan's last film was distributed by Twentieth Century Fox, that he had registered a studio, and that he had invested in both films alone.

A film released by the seven major film companies is completely different from a film released by small and medium-sized distribution companies.

Monica Bellucci, who has been in Hollywood for a while, naturally knows the difference.

Facing Monica Bellucci's question, Ryan smiled and said, "Who knows!"

"Before the film is released, no one can be sure."

"Of course I also hope that 20th Century Fox will continue to be the publisher. After all, the cooperation last time was very pleasant."

The copyright of the previous film was fully bought out, so "Chain Saw" is naturally impossible.

However, it is definitely not an easy task to negotiate with 20th Century Fox for distribution.

Monica Bellucci couldn't help hesitating slightly when she heard Ryan's words, and whispered, "Mr. Carter-Eisner, I want to see you."

If Carter-Eisner is not the decision maker of Touchstone, and Touchstone is a distribution company owned by Disney, she really doesn't want to bother with these.

Carter-Eisner!

"Disney's Touchstone Pictures?"

Ryan was taken aback for a moment, then took a deep look at Monica Bellucci, and couldn't help but secretly sighed, there really isn't a single actress who can make it to Hollywood.

"Yes." Monica Bellucci nodded, with a reluctant expression.

"It is my wish to see Mr. Carter-Eisner."

Ryan withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "When the filming of "Saw" is over, I will definitely go to see Mr. Carter-Eisner in person."

Hollywood has never had any secrets at all. Whether it is the big hit of the last film or the preparations for the shooting of "Chain Saw", it is difficult to hide it from everyone, let alone Disney, one of the seven major film companies.

Of course, if you can get in touch with Touchstone, Ryan will naturally not refuse, but now is not the time.

The reason is simple, he is now cooperating with 20th Century Fox, and unless 20th Century Fox expressly refuses to distribute it, he will contact Touchstone.

He didn't want to somehow offend one of the Big Seven Hollywood studios.

To put it bluntly, Twentieth Century Fox can reject Ryan, but Ryan has no right to reject Twentieth Century Fox, unless the conditions given by Twentieth Century Fox far exceed his bottom line.

In fact, Touchstone is not the first company. Several small distribution companies have already contacted Helen, but there has been no further contact.

"Okay, let's continue shooting." Ryan stood up, not wanting to continue talking, "The next time something like this happens, you can tell Helen directly."

In this regard, Monica Bellucci could only give a wry smile. Facing the giant touchstone, she dared not refuse at all, so she could only bite the bullet and speak out, which might even offend Ryan.

As for Helen!

Maybe it would be better to tell Helen, but the end result is the same.

The shot being shot right now is a scene where little Scarlett Johansson is with her parents, and there are not many shots.

Ryan personally controlled the camera, filming the little Scarlett Johansson whose acting skills have been improving, and specially gave her a few more shots.

Little Scarlett Johansson is young, but her acting skills are better than Edward Norton's.

It made Edward Norton very embarrassed. Facing a little girl who was less than ten years old, he couldn't show any dissatisfaction, so he could only comfort himself constantly.

Ryan's shooting was very casual and unprofessional. Many people in the crew thought he was messing around. He could let the photographer operate, but he had to do it himself.

However, when she was free, Sophia came over to take a look and found that the shots taken by Ryan were very precise, her hands were as steady as Mount Tai, and the picture was extremely clear.

"Nice technology."

Sofia Coppola showed a bit of surprise, secretly took a look at Ryan, and felt a sense of frustration in her heart. Ryan's shooting skills were much better than hers.

You must know that she is from an acting family, but Ryan has only filmed a pseudo-documentary with a hand-cranked camera.

There weren't many plays in the apartment, and the filming was over in less than half a day, and the crew needed to change to another location.

Except for some minor problems at the beginning of the shooting, the rest of the time was pretty smooth, and the shooting progress was much faster than Ryan expected. In just eight days, more than half of the shots have been shot.

At this rate, it is estimated that the crew will be able to wrap up in another five days.
