Things were completely different from what Ryan had imagined. Natalie just came with her friends, and the person who was going to the crew was Gail Gado.
The three said as they walked towards Studio 133.
"Remember what I mentioned about the party?"
Gail Gado has a cheerful personality, speaking of the purpose of coming here, "My agent won an audition opportunity for me, this time, but he temporarily left California for some reason. Here I only have a friend, Nat. , I had to find her to come with me."
"Can you guess what movie it is?" Natalie held Ryan and laughed.
"What movie?" Ryan couldn't help but frown, recalling Warner Bros.'s recent investment.
Calculated by time, it should not be the one where Nat became a bald girl. Although the copyright of "V" is a comic, when I saw the Wachowski brothers last time, I didn't hear them mention the adaptation. thing.
I heard that "Troy" and "Alexander the Great" are already on, so they must be excluded.
In this case, there are not many answers left.
""Superman Returns"?" Ryan asked back, shook his head first. The director of this movie is still shooting "X-Men" for Marvel. "Won't it be "Wonder Woman"?"
"That's right." Natalie finished whispering to her side Gal Gado, "but there is no reward."
Ryan's eyes couldn't help passing over Natalie and falling on the Jewish **** the other side, who was too different from Princess Diana in the comics.
The most typical is the chest. Although the opponent is not an airport, it is not much different. Although the two straight long legs are put on the Wonder Woman shirt, it will definitely attract countless audiences, but it is too slender...
There are also arms. Judging from the movement of the upper arm up and down, there are basically no muscles.
Hmm... The long black hair and the heroic spirit on the delicate face are some advantages.
The issue is. Can audiences in North America really accept a Princess Diana who is not a big butt?
Forget it, just an audition, she may not be able to get this role.
Ryan shook his head, it was Warner's choice, he didn't bother to care about these things.
"Ryan, why do you have time to come over?"
As soon as he walked to the Warner Bros. studio, Ryan met an acquaintance. Grant Hill strode over, shook hands with him firmly, and said with a smile. "I've also made an idea, but it was preempted."
"It's you who are too slow." Ryan knew this was just a joke and asked casually, "Are you the producer of "Wonder Woman"?"
"Yes."
He nodded, greeted Natalie and Gal Gado, and made a please gesture, "Let's talk inside."
Although it is the boss of Disney, there are many cooperations between the two sides, and this kind of movie is not secret to people in the circle. Several people walked all the way through the studio that was setting up the scene, and walked into the temporary office area of the crew.
Several actresses who auditioned were waiting here, Ryan also saw a few familiar faces, but didn't say anything. Just walked into an office.
Unexpectedly, the director is also an acquaintance, Tim Burton, the director of "Batman".
After a few random greetings from both sides, the personality director went out to prepare for an audition. This is a tedious job. Although there are not many actors who come to audition, they are all candidates after the first round. It is likely to continue into the evening.
"Thank you."
Ryan took the coffee handed by the assistant and looked at this temporary office at will. Just behind Natalie and Gal Gado, there are several huge posters hanging, which seem to be the concept of Princess Diana. design diagram.
Probably because he was very interested in seeing Ryan, Grant Hill briefly said, "We have made some changes to the original comic image, especially Princess Diana’s battle dress, except for keeping her crown. , Bracelets and ropes, specially added this armor."
The Wonder Woman in the conceptual design does not wear a star-strangled suit, but a battle armor and boots similar to the ancient Greek gods.
"You are going to take the international route?" Ryan roughly understood Warner's intentions.
"The American imprint of Wonder Woman in the comics is too deep." Grant Hill sighed, "Now the profitability of overseas markets has surpassed that of North America."
This can be regarded as an inevitable choice for the market. Ryan understands this. If it is not the right time, "Captain America" will probably not be much better than the previous life.
"Miss Gado, you can go to the audition..."
A staff member knocked on the door and walked in. Gail Gado beckoned to several people and walked out generously.
"Your friend?"
When there were no outsiders, Grant Hill asked, "Well... I remember her performance in the first audition was excellent."
"My friend." Natalie smiled at him.
Ryan didn't say much, even if he didn't speak, just showing up here would give Natalie's friend a lot of points.
"Ryan, feel free to do it."
Grant Hill looked at the time, Ryan nodded and made a gesture of inviting, and the other party then left the office, supposedly to conduct the audition.
"They also invited me." Natalie said, holding the coffee cup.
"Don't you think this is very sexy?" Ryan pointed to the poster behind her that relied on cg design. "My dear, this is one of the three giants of justice."
"Not interested in."
Natalie didn't mean to look back at all. Seeing Ryan was about to pick up the coffee cup, she quickly took it, "It's cold."
She got up and poured the cold coffee into the trash can, picked up the coffee pot on the table, and refilled Ryan. After handing it over, she continued the topic just now, "Didn’t you prepare a series for me? , Why choose Warner's works?"
"Yeah, if you want, dear, I am surprised that there are a lot of superheroes for you to choose." Ryan sipped his coffee, "Nat, if you have time, find a bow and arrow coach."
"Well, Pat is calling for me." She nodded vigorously.
After the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy, Natalie did not want to take on a commercial film, but this role was almost exclusively designed for her by Ryan, and it was not the kind of embellishment heroine. This series is completely revolving around She comes to build, she will be the absolute protagonist, and all other roles are supporting roles.
To a certain extent, this is a female film with feminist elements, which is also what Natalie is more excited about.
Since the publication of "The Hunger Games", with the help of Ryan's name and the strong promotion of the publisher, it has been sought after by teenagers. Although it is far from the enthusiasm of "Harry Potter", it has successively won North American bestsellers. The throne of the ranking champion has become one of the most popular business novels in the past two years.
Many studios have taken a fancy to this series of novels, which is only the beginning, but they can only stare at them helplessly. Everyone knows that Ryan has half the copyright of the novel and signed an agreement with Susan Collins. The copyright of the movie will not be transferred.
However, this novel will not be adapted into a movie in the short term.
At present, in addition to the several series that continue, Walt Disney and Twentieth Century Fox have put the film adaptation of "The Lion, Witch, and the Magic Wardrobe" on the agenda. Although this will still be a big production, Ryan specifically advises However, we must pay attention to cost control.
The production cost of the film is not as scary as the previous 180 million U.S. dollars. The temporary budget is only 100 million U.S. dollars, and the two companies will follow-up as the situation requires.
Similarly, Time Warner will not let go of the magic series. Its new line film industry has obtained the copyright of "Golden Compass" and is preparing to create a super magical epic series comparable to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter."
New Line Pictures was acquired by Warner as early as 1993, and it is still ambitious even without the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in this world.
The only thing that makes Ryan strange is that New Line Pictures chose Chris Weitz as the director for this magical series. Although the "American Pie" series he produced for Jenkins Pictures has received a good response, it is standard vulgar shit. Fart director...
About an hour later, Gal Gadot returned to the office.
"How was the audition?"
When several people left the studio, Natalie asked concerned, "When will there be an accurate answer?"
"next week."
Gail Gado took Natalie's arm and said with joy, "Excellent! The director and producer are very satisfied with me."
She looked at Ryan, "Do you have time? I will treat you tonight!"
After seeing Ryan nodding, Natalie said, "Well, where are you going to treat?"
"North Hollywood has opened a new Mr. Zhou restaurant." Seeing Ryan stopped, Gail Gado quickly stopped and said in a low voice, "Let's go there and eat Chinese food."
Nodding, Natalie looked this way.
Ryan met an acquaintance, and since the other party proactively stretched out his hand, he had to stop and say hello.
"Dallas, are you here for the audition too?" The other party walked out of Warner's studio.
"No." Bryce Howard shook his head, "I came with my friend She was interviewing in the mirror, and I came out and walked by myself."
She suddenly smiled, "Actually, I just participated in the audition for "Spider-Man" last month and got an important role."
"Oh, which character?" Ryan asked with interest.
"Gwen Stacey."
Her cell phone rang and made an apologetic gesture. When Ryan nodded, she walked away and took the call.
Ryan walked over to Natalie again and brought in an electric car. When the three of them sat in, they said, "That's Lang Howard's daughter."
"Well, I've seen it before." Natalie looked at the sun moving to the west when passing by between several studios. "I remember she starred in "Apollo 13" and "How Greenwich Stole." Go Christmas"."
"I'm about to star in Peter Parker's first love girlfriend." Ryan said.
"Gwen Stacey?" (To be continued...) ()
