Rebirth In Hollywood

The length of the short film is limited, and it has obvious practice and experimental nature. There are many flaws in it. Natalie's directing skills are far from proficient. Even if she is smart enough, it takes time and experience to accumulate.

To be an excellent director, talent is only a prerequisite. As a woman, it is by no means easy to make achievements in the director industry where men are absolutely dominant.

However, Natalie also shows the unique side of women in the short film, and the handling of light and color is delicate enough, especially the sunlight that penetrates through the glass door and glass window, which always makes people feel a kind of real and fantastic. Colors, like coffee with subtle color changes and colorful dreams of young women.

The click-through rate of the short film is not very high, and there are some comments below, there are praisers and critics, but these are not important, after all, this is only an experimental short film, and it is just Natalie's first step towards the director.

Even greats like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg didn't make a splash when they first picked up the guide tube.

The next day, Natalie called. She has a clear understanding of herself and will not change anything because of this short film. She will still follow the established plan. For the past six months, she is taking care of her studies. At the same time, I will continue to shoot some things to practice my hands.

Ryan has already contacted Sony Electronics, and the small dedicated video camera ordered will soon be delivered to Harvard.

Why not dv? Don't be kidding, dv and the director's camera are completely in two categories. Ryan doesn't want to make rumors that Natalie uses dv to shoot in the future. This is something that will make the whole director's world despise.

After hanging up Natalie's phone, Ryan changed his clothes and went to the practice room. Charlize was wearing a clean white practice uniform and was warming up under the guidance of Tiger Chen.

"Hi, Tiger."

Ryan said hello to Tiger Chen on the sponge mat. The other side smiled and continued his work, admonishing Charlize some precautions.

Because of his own experience, he can adapt to Hollywood better than others from Hong Kong, and he also knows how to actively integrate into Hollywood. After several action movies, coupled with the support of Jenkins Films, he also became famous.

Most importantly, he saw the inevitable decline of kung fu movies in North America, in the most recent action films he directed. It also gradually abandoned the limitations of kung fu to be more adaptable to Hollywood.

Coming to the treadmill on the side, Ryan was jogging while looking at Charlize over there.

South African diamond has a long-term model and ballet training,

For example, the one-word stretch of the body is basically not difficult for her, and the tall body is flexible enough.

Because it was only the first practice, Tiger Chen finished the class after only half an hour. Practice should always be gradual.

"Charlie's basic condition is very good."

Turning off the treadmill, Ryan accompanied the two to the rest area. Tiger Chen took the energy drink handed over by Charlize and sat opposite the two. "I heard the master talk about the style of this movie. Although Director Tastino wanted to shoot in the style of Director Zhang Che, the actors..."

He smiled, "It can only be similar in shape. So, with Charlie's foundation, the training won't be difficult."

"Your knee has been hurt before."

See Charlize sitting next to him. Ryan urged, "Be careful, I've already informed Quentin."

"It's not that serious." Charlize waved his hand indifferently.

"My master and I will pay attention." Yuan Heping will be the action director of the film.

Someone sent Tiger Chen away, Ryan returned to the treadmill and sighed softly, while Charlize pulled a cushion over and did some moderate leg presses.

"Any troubles?". She apparently heard Ryan sigh.

"Nothing, work-related matters."

Seeing Charlize's exploratory eyes, Ryan slowed down the speed of the treadmill and explained simply, "Originally, if I could try to achieve simultaneous release, I planned to let Tiger take some actors to China for the premiere."

"Didn't the Far East Company have been negotiating with China..." She thought for a while, "Have you negotiated with China Film Group?".

"There are other agencies on top of them."

With a scissors gesture, Ryan did not explain in detail, but said, "Before Thanksgiving, the movie cannot pass the approval of the other government agency, and it can only be postponed."

"That's fine, you can go to the premiere again." Charlize curled his lips deliberately.

Ryan simply turned off the treadmill, jumped down and walked over, pinched her high nose, and in Charlize's dissatisfied snort, he said, "Just be here today, pay attention to your knees."

"I'm not that vulnerable."

Having said that, Charlize left the gym after Ryan.

Due to various reasons such as approval, it is certain that the simultaneous release of "Captain America" ​​cannot be achieved on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Currently, as the distributor, Bowei Pictures is working hard in various English-speaking regions to make this film appear in overseas markets as soon as possible. .

The negotiations between Disney's Far East Company and China Film Group are far from over, and the focus is on next year's "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King". The post-production of this film has come to an end, and before the new year, it can be sent to the other side. For approval, as for how many times the scissors will be moved, it is not something they can intervene.

This year's summer season has experienced unprecedented popularity. After the popularity, the market temperature has plummeted. After the North American box office of "X-Men 2" exceeded 200 million US dollars, the growth rate has become extremely slow, and the focus of surprise has gradually shifted to "X-Men 2". In the propaganda of Captain America, the early campaign activities continued one after another.

Let's not talk about the routine marvel hero ability competition. Steve Rogers' ability is not outstanding among the marvel heroes, but faith and will are absolutely not considered as the second person.

In terms of Disney TV, the past "Captain America" ​​cartoons have once again appeared on the screen, and the TV station has also begun to plan a new round of "Captain America" ​​old movies. The oldest one can even be traced back to last year. 1940s.

Internet publicity, the lower limit is much lower, let alone those viral links and videos, Marvel Comics has also launched a series of solicitation plans for the mysterious relationship between Captain America and Black Widow, soliciting some appropriate plots from netizens .

Of course, that kind of hand-to-hand combat between Steve Rogers and Natasha Normanoff is definitely not going to be used.

TV, newspapers, the Internet, radio, etc., you can see the figure of "Captain America" ​​on these media, and the current publicity has not reached a state of full-scale outbreak, but has maintained a certain degree of popularity.

During this time, what Ryan did most outside of work was to get people to find a number of Zhang Che's films and accompany Charlize to watch them in the theater at home.

"The film is very distinctive." This is Charlize's view. "The production is very rough, rougher than the B-movies of the 1960s and 1970s."

There are indeed many fans of Hong Kong-style movies in North America, such as Quentin Tastino, but Hong Kong-style movies can only be said to be niche films among niche films.

"Kill Bill" is not a pure Hong Kong-style film. Quentin Tastino is not an idiot. In fact, the film is still hiding the old Hollywood style.

There will be a lot of fight scenes in this movie. Charlize will definitely be hanging on a wire and swinging around. Ryan specially took her to the hospital and asked several experts to check her once injured knee. .

September is the traditional off-season for movies, and it is also the season when horror films and genre films are released together. Compared with the hustle and bustle of summer, Hollywood is much quieter.

But a message released by Time Warner broke this calm and made Ryan feel that he has brought more and more changes to the circle.

"I didn't expect it to move so fast."

This was Ryan's first reaction after hearing the news, and Charlize, who was flipping through the documents, was also a little surprised. "Some time ago, I heard that Warners was hesitant to launch this project, but I didn't expect to make a decision so quickly."

"Because of the success of the surprise series." Ryan stood up and paced slowly in the living room, "Because of the current social environment, the public is more receptive to superhero movies."

"But why did they choose Wonder Woman?" Charlize asked.

"It is difficult for a Superman movie to achieve a breakthrough. Batman was temporarily sealed by them because of his failure a few years ago." Ryan frowned and recalled that there was indeed no such movie in this time period in his previous life. Princess Anna has naturally become the first choice."

In fact, it is not particularly difficult to avoid some too sensitive feminist issues. You can also set the main enemy to be a woman, or a god from ancient times, such as one of the gods of Mount Olympus who blessed Princess Diana. .

As for whether it can be successful, it can only wait for the movie to be released.

"I heard..." Charlize looked at Ryan, who was standing in front of the window with his arms folded over his chest, and suddenly laughed, "Warners sent Natalie an audition invitation and designated her as one of the candidates for Wonder Woman. ."

Ryan nodded first, then shook his head, and rarely responded to Charlize, "She has refused."

Before reaching a certain height, starring as a superhero is a big taboo for an actor. If he hadn't won the best actor, Ryan would not have agreed to play Steve Rogers, even if he was very fond of the commander of the Avengers. interested in.

Charlize stood up and walked to his side, looking out the window with his eyes rolling, "Why don't you write a script, and then... the four of us will act, how about that?"

Turning his head, Ryan squeezed his delicate face hard and looked at the wall clock, "It's getting late, I'm going to prepare for Darren's premiere." (To be continued...) ()
