Chapter 630： Let's elope

After leaving the hotel where the party was located, the brand-new black Rolls Royce was already waiting at the door. After Ryan and the two got into the car, the car slowly drove towards the south.

Regarding "Wonder Woman", Ryan did not express too many opinions. In his opinion, Tim Burton handled it quite securely. This typical superhero movie may not cause a sensation, but it is a success. Even the problem of recovering huge costs through the box office shouldn't be big.

At least this "Wonder Woman" is not inferior to "X-Men 3: Last Stand" which he has also seen the sample, and even slightly wins, although the Greek gods appeared in it, it is from the original comics. The setting, and the main scenes are almost all in New York and Washington, even if Princess Diana takes off the star-striped outfit, she is still fighting for the United States.

"It's still early." Ryan looked at his watch and asked Natalie next to him, "Shall we go home, or?"

"Go to Universal Studios." Natalie pressed the communicator, said to the driver in front, and then looked at Ryan, "Let's go to the squad, where Scarlett is filming "Escape from the Clone Island"."

This film carrying the hope of DreamWorks has entered the final stage of shooting. Ryan also heard Scarlett mention it. After returning from the Detroit location, they gathered in the studio of Universal Studios for the finale. A filming of a human cloning base.

As one of the most famous studios in Hollywood, the studio area of ​​Universal Studios is a bit deserted compared to the tourist area. In recent years, more and more crews have been exodus, which has led to a serious under-production of studios in the Los Angeles area. If the California state government does not introduce relevant preferential policies to make changes, the large studios in the California area will gradually become exhibition halls, while the small studios have only one way to go.

In fact, it's not just Hollywood, even the video tape companies of the San Fernando Valley are outflowing. California's latest regulations, when shooting those films. It is necessary to use condoms, and the sales of condom films are obviously declining.

Therefore, many companies are moving to Las Vegas. If this situation continues, the San Fernando Valley will lose its former reputation.

Changed to a battery car at the entrance of the studio. After driving through more than a dozen deserted studios, Ryan finally saw the scenes of people coming and going in the past.

The crew of "Escape from the Clone Island" rented three huge studios here, and Ryan and Natalie walked into one of them under the leadership of the staff. All I saw were scenes of a futuristic clone base, as well as a large number of extras in tight clothes.

The crew seemed to be resting. When Ryan walked to the lounge area, Scarlett Johansson was sitting in a chair, chatting with Ewan McGregor next to him.

"Hi, Ryan, and Nat."

"It's been a long time, Ivan."

Scarlett just beckoned to the two, while Ivan McGregor stood up politely. He winked, and after greeting Ryan a few words, he took the initiative to leave here.

"Aren't you preparing the film with Kate and Sophia?".

After Ryan sat down, Scarlett asked her assistant to bring coffee. Looking at Natalie, she said, "Why do you have time today?"

"After the **Day holiday ended, they went to Australia to inspect the progress of the set-up." Natalie first handed the coffee to Ryan, and then took another cup. "I accompanied Ryan to a trial film meeting, and I stopped by to see you."

Then, Natalie looked at Scarlett carefully. "Honey, you are so **** and beautiful now."

"Then..." Scarlett Johansson's eyes turned from Ryan, and she suddenly took Natalie's hand, "Nate, why don't... let me be your girlfriend, and let's run away."

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

Natalie had just taken a sip of coffee, almost choked in her throat, and glared at the inconspicuous blonde **** the opposite side. "You should keep this kind of joke and tell Alison."

"In fact, we have already discussed it." Scarlett suddenly changed a strange tone, "If... ahem, we are going to Africa, to a place that no one can find, there are lions, antelopes, cheetahs. With the elephant, I feel romantic just thinking about it."

"Trust me, Scarlett."

These two guys have been used to quarreling since they were young, and Ryan didn't care about their insane words in private, "Up to three days, you will come back because you can't stand the hard life."

Since Scott Swift and Melanie Sloan joined his team, the daily lives of Taylor and Scarlett can only be described as abundance and luxury.

"We all have trust funds."

After Scarlett finished speaking, she saw Ryan just smiling, and said flatly, "Well, I admit, it’s okay to visit places like the African grasslands occasionally. If you live there, you will definitely be able to People go crazy."

"Perhaps you haven't gone crazy yet." Natalie also said a few jokes, "It was eaten by a lion or hyena, oh...sexy Scarlett sandwich..."

"Do you want to take a bite?" Scarlett leaned in front of Natalie, "Nate!"

The laughter of the two women rang out.

And only in front of these friends who grew up together, Natalie will show the other side of youth and recklessness. For example, some time ago, at Scarlett’s house, she and Taylor screamed r&b on the jukebox...

In recent months, Natalie has not only received special bow and arrow training, but also fitness and practice a lot of set movements.

While enjoying the glamour, Hollywood stars are also facing unimaginable pressures. They always have to have a suitable way of venting. Unfortunately, some people choose alcoholism, drug abuse, and **** by mistake.

After about ten minutes, the filming restarted. Ryan stood with the enthusiastic Natalie on the periphery, watching Michael Bay’s command and dispatch. For Natalie, who is determined to become an outstanding female director, she will not let go. Any chance of learning.

However, compared to Natalie, Ryan is more interested in some props, such as Nokia concept phones provided by advertisers, such as some concept cars costing up to two million US dollars. If he remembers correctly, these later seem to be all Did not officially come out.

Of course, it may also be that high-end circles were not accessible in previous lives. These luxurious top products are not aimed at ordinary consumers.

Now Scarlett Johansson and Ivan McGregor are both standard literary youths. It seems easy to deal with the scenes of this movie. Ryan also vaguely sees Michael from the dialogue between the two of them and some scenes. Bei's thoughts seem to be no different from the previous life.

A director who is good at fast switching between explosions and mv-style short shots, changing to long shots and literary connotations is destined to be a very scary thing.

Taking advantage of the filming gap, Ryan also talked to Michael Bay behind the camera. Although the latter experienced the setbacks of "Pearl Harbor", he was still confident, and he wouldn't be able to change without experiencing a bitter lesson. Back to the path of full commercialization that suits him.

As for "Transformers", Ryanti didn't mention it, after all, the other party hasn't finished the current work yet.

The script of this movie, on the premise that he provided a very brief outline, some screenwriters have already begun to write the script. The general plot is still the story of a boy and his car, but under his instruction, Optimus Prime appeared on the scene. The time will be as early as possible, and the rhythm of the front paving will also be slightly accelerated.

And in order to complement the subsequent sequels, Optimus Prime's combat effectiveness will not be as good as in the previous life. Facing Megatron, the combat effectiveness of the two bosses is basically the same.

In addition, Disney is also contacting the Pentagon to win the necessary support. Although a team of American soldiers kills a Decepticon is very bloody, for the sake of North American box office considerations, this kind of plot that North American audiences love to see will still appear.

To put it bluntly, this is just the most typical popcorn movie. The producer will shoot it as much as the audience feels it.

After staying here for about an hour, Ryan and Natalie left. After all, this is a busy crew.

"Is DreamWorks going to be unable to hold on anymore?" Natalie asked curiously in the car back.

By staying by Ryan's side, she was also well-informed, and it was not surprising that she could see that DreamWorks was glamorous on the surface, but in fact, there were internal crises.

"If it's just a financial problem..." Ryan shook her head, "Maybe it's easy to solve, but as the debt burden of DreamWorks has increased, David Geffen, Jeff Katzenberg and Stephen's The contradiction between the two also began to sharpen."

The collapse of DreamWorks is not only due to debt issues, but also the relationship of the Big Three in a sharp decline.

DreamWorks now is like a wooden boat with a big hole in the bottom of the boat. The only tinker, Steven Spielberg, has also begun to have problems. His movies can no longer guarantee the success of every one.

For example, "The Terminal of Happiness , which was released not long ago, even if it is the combination of Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones, it only got 19.05 million US dollars in the box office in the first week. , It has been in theaters for more than ten days, and the box office in North America is only 40 million U.S. dollars.

Perhaps the only thing left from this movie is the classic movie line ‘I’ve been waiting all my life, but I don’t know who I’m waiting for’.

In contrast, "The Superman Family", which was released two weeks earlier than the movie, had a monthly North American box office total of nearly 250 million U.S. dollars.

As for "King Arthur", the weekly box office has fallen to around US$3 million, and there are big doubts about whether the North American box office can exceed US$40 million.

Of course, the most successful movie so far this year is still "Star Wars: Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith". After the ** day, the North American box office of the film has reached more than 390 million U.S. dollars. It will definitely become the first North American film this year. A movie with a box office of over 400 million.

This film not only brought huge benefits to Lucasfilm and its distributor Twentieth Century Fox, but Ryan, one of the leading actors, also benefited a lot. (To be continued...) ()
