Rebirth In Hollywood

For Los Angeles, which is dry all the year round, summer is a tough season. It’s okay to go out for a walk occasionally. If you do strenuous exercise, you must make adequate preparations in advance, or simply choose indoor sports with air conditioning, such as billiards and table tennis. such as. \\.

"Bah~"

A crisp collision sounded, the white ball hit the black No. 8 with great accuracy, the black ball fell straight into the bottom pocket, and the tall girl who had just straightened up gave Scarlett a high five, and shouted, "yes!"

"You two lost again!" Gal Gadot said to Natalie, who was holding the club. "Best of three, we've won two in a row, Nat."

"Looks like..." Natalie shoved the club into Ryan's hand next to her, "I lack athleticism."

"You think too much."

Passing by Gail Gadot, Ryan took the cue from her and Scarlett's hands by the way, and after placing them, he continued to say to Natalie, "When you come back from Australia, you often get distracted, don't tell me Creampie? Or is the director Sophia finally turned into a female tyrant on the set?"

"You guessed all wrong."

Scarlett pulled up Natalie and Gal Gadot, walked to the corner of the entertainment room, took out the three boxes of cream ice cream that had been put in from the refrigerator at home, and handed them to them respectively, and then they came over again. Ryan said, "Nate has been thinking about a new movie recently, and this time she's both a director and a star, and it's a lot of pressure."

"The funds are sufficient." Ryan sat next to Natalie. "You can also go to New York to shoot on the spot. Jenkins Pictures has already contacted a theater."

"Don't worry." Natalie scooped up a large spoon of ice cream and put it into Ryan's mouth, "I'm just thinking about some shooting techniques, which are different from the bright style of "127 Hours" and tend to be darker change."

"It's better to make a 3D movie." Gal Gadot put down the box of ice cream and came up with a bad idea. "Wonder Woman 2 in 3D, The Hunger Games 2 in 3D, and Black Swan in 3D..."

Probably noticing the weird looks of the other three looking at him, the long-legged girl blinked, "Don't you think this is a good idea?"

"Gail." Scarlett directly wiped the white cream stained on the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, "I think it's better than your idea to let Nate use the imax3d camera to shoot the whole process!"

"Wonder Woman 2 is only planned to take about 25 minutes of full imax3d footage." Gal Gadot pointed to the cream stained on the other corner of Scarlett's mouth,

"There's..."

After Scarlett wiped it off, she added, "It is said that "Transformers" only has 30 minutes of full imax3D footage. If this is the case, "Black Swan" will set a record."

"You two..." Ryan couldn't help shaking his head, he knew the two girls were just joking, "Okay, don't say these jokes, you should have read the script, if you master the characters well, take a few best Nominations like Best Supporting Actress are not difficult."

With that, he glanced at Gal Gadot again. "Not including you, Gal."

Although Gal Gadot has been popular all over the United States since "Wonder Woman", he is the same as most model-turned-actors. It's not a big problem for her to cope with a role like Princess Diana. If she wants to show more acting skills, she needs more training and accumulation.

Besides, she and Scarlett Johansson came from a different background. The first movie in life is a commercial superhero movie that can no longer be commercialized, except for the Teen Choice Awards and the Saturn Awards, acting awards in mainstream awards. There is little hope in the short term.

"I think the Saturn Award for Best Actress is also good." Gael Gadot said with a grin, "I don't have much pursuit in this regard."

The four of them chatted and laughed, and Natalie took the initiative to change the subject, "Ryan, do you think 3D and imax technology will definitely develop?"

"You've all seen the imax3d movie." Ryan lightly tapped the table, "How do you feel about the stimulation of the senses?"

"It's alright." Natalie nibbled at the ice cream. "The eyes will get tired after looking at it for a long time."

"Pretty good." This is Scarlett Johansson. "I like 'The Polar Express' very much."

"Very exciting!" Gal Gadot cited a few examples, "I watched it while filming "Wonder Woman 2" in Washington, and the audience raved about the visual effects of "Jurassic Park 3" ."

"If the audience has demand, it will bring market benefits." Ryan opened his mouth and ate the ice cream sent by Natalie, "In the next few years, these two technologies will be greatly developed, and there will even be a film. Reach unprecedented peaks with imax3d."

"You're not talking about "Transformers", are you?" Scarlett knew that the peak of Ryan's words must be a commercial achievement. "Will this robot war surpass "Titanic" in terms of box office?"

"Not Transformers."

The person who answered the call was Natalie, but there was also Gal Gadot, an outsider in the strict sense. She couldn't help but look here, and after Ryan nodded lightly, she continued, "Scarlett, You should know that James Cameron had a big plan from a few years ago."

"So." Scarlett understood immediately, "James, the tyrant, is ready to prepare the story of that alien?"

"Actually."

Ryan guessed that the chubby girl was 80% heard from Taylor, "Disney Pictures put the $100 million in advance funding in place yesterday."

A few days ago, at Disney's regular board of directors, this project of James Cameron was discussed specifically, and Ryan naturally fully supported him. He will also serve as a producer. Fans around the world basically know that the board passed the resolution almost as quickly as possible.

Of course, what has been determined so far is only the initial production cost. According to James Cameron's own estimation, it is impossible for the film to be released without three years, and the promotion has not yet begun.

"May I ask..." Gal Gadot seemed very curious, "How much is Director Cameron going to spend this time?"

"His current estimate is $200 million." Ryan made a gesture that everyone understood, "There will definitely be additional production costs in the later stage, and it should not exceed $300 million."

He clearly remembered that the production cost of the film in his previous life was not very high. Compared with "Superman Returns", it is a lot worse.

"What is the future of 3D movies, I don't know." Scarlett Johansson poked the ice cream in the box with a spoon, and the topic turned back, "But I know that Jurassic Park 3 relies on 3D and imax to make great success.”

"In recent years, the equipment side has been vigorously promoting these two technologies." Ryan said the most basic facts, "The number of 3D screens and imax theaters is the basis for the success of Jurassic Park 3."

After nearly two years of development, both the 3D screen and the imax theater have more than doubled compared to when "Polar Express" was released.

"I remember hearing that from you." Natalie frowned slightly. Looking at Ryan, "The 3D technology currently applied seems to have many defects."

"That's right." Ryan nodded first, "You should know the principles of 3D movies, right?"

Scarlett and Gal Gadot shook their heads at the same time, and Ryan had no choice but to say, "In the simplest terms, the current 3D technology allows the audience to wear special glasses and see the left side of the same object through the left and right lenses respectively. , the two portraits on the right, so as to restore the three-dimensional sense of the tiled movie picture. But this is easy to bring about a problem, if the viewing time is too long, it will cause some people dizziness or headache. "

"This is the analysis of the medical experts we asked." He pointed to his eyes. "If people's eyes receive the picture a little slower, they will reflex and hope to catch up with the changes of the picture. At this time, they need to 'emergency call' more brain power. Many people feel uncomfortable because of this."

"Also, I think you can think of it," Ryan continued. "Watching this kind of film too often. It's not good for the eyes of teenagers, especially developing children."

"Then why promote this flawed..."

Before he finished speaking, Gal Gadot realized that he had asked a silly question, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Let me answer you, Gal."

After a light cough, Scarlett showed a little bit of commercial energy, "We have discussed the defects of high ticket prices and dark colors of 3D movies before, but the high ticket price is actually an advantage of 3D movies, At least that's how it is for theaters."

She looked at Ryan, Ryan gave her an encouraging smile, and the chubby girl immediately said, "Compared with traditional 2D movies, the stereoscopic effect of 3D movies is the most powerful advantage, and home projection equipment is currently unable to 3D technology is popularized, so going to the cinema to watch 3D movies is almost the only option.”

"In order to pursue higher commercial profits, so..." The little fat girl shrugged playfully.

Ryan gave Scarlett a thumbs up. The situation is still good now. In a few years, whether it is North America or the theater dealers on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, even if there is a 2D version, they often only give the 3D version. The number of screenings of movies is arranged. For example, the previous life's "Alice in Wonderland" was released and screened in 2D and 3D, but most of the theaters he knows only show the 3D version. The big reason is that the 3D ticket is expensive and the profit is higher.

Businesses are born for profit.

After dinner at Scarlett's house, Ryan and Natalie stayed late until they passed the door connecting the two's garden and returned to Natalie's villa.

"I'm going to New York in a few days."

The two walked slowly towards the villa along the garden path. Natalie held Ryan's hand and swayed gently, "My friend introduced me to a ballet choreographer, I'll see you there. See."

"Take care of yourself." Ryan tapped her pointed chin. "You've lost weight again. Just leave the film preparation to the executive producer."

"I know." Natalie leaned close to him, "but some preparatory work requires the director's personal participation." (To be continued..) ()
