Chapter 679： Another big production

"And Nicole."

Shooting in the living room was about to start again. When Ryan and the others walked out of the villa, Gwyneth asked Nicole again, "Can I be * Poole's godmother?"

"Do we have a choice?" Ryan deliberately spread his hands to her, "It looks like I need another goddaughter."

This kind of thing is very common in North America, and it's not uncommon in Hollywood. After all, the relationship between the two parties is here. Ryan and Nicole don't mean to refuse. Besides, Nicole has always liked children very much.

Miss Aipur, who is just over a year old, of course has no right to choose, but she will not regret it when she grows up.

Just like Gwyneth to the dead old Paltrow, Drew Barrymore to the entire Barrymore family, many people from a family of performing arts, most of them will embark on the same or similar path as their parents, whether it is Networking is still an opportunity, and they all have an innate advantage.

Drew Barrymore’s famous works came from her godfather, and Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in Spielberg’s movies earlier. Although they seem to have a weaker relationship now, they really When it comes to critical moments such as choosing important roles or voting for Oscars, they must be naturally the same camp.

All these are the inherent advantages of actors from a family. If such people have strong godfathers like Ryan's godfather and Nicole, although they may not develop very smoothly in the future, few people dare to use the rules. Treat her by other means.

Of course, as long as the conditions are not too bad, it will not be difficult to become famous in the future.

Ryan and Nicole’s other goddaughter, Lily Mo Xin, has been guest appearances in some Disney dramas or movies that require children's roles since two years ago.

At noon, Ryan and Nicole had lunch with Gwyneth Paltrow. At the table, I heard her talk about a lot of things in work and life. The two of them were her except Drew Barrymore. One of the most acquainted friends, many of the topics are from the distress in life.

Love has a shelf life. After the initial passionate love, quite a few problems will emerge.

Gwyneth’s marriage to Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, is envious of many people. In fact, there are quite a few problems at all. Martin's career is basically in the UK and he has lived in London for a long time, while Gwyneth's career is mostly In Hollywood, the place of settlement is New York, and the long distance can be regarded as a test and torture for the relationship between the two parties.

And Gwyneth Paltrow didn't talk about it, but Ryan and Nicole were very clear.

Perhaps because of the excellent and smooth development of her childhood, Gwyneth has had a serious princess disease since she was a girl. It is fine to get along with friends. If the partner is a boyfriend or husband, it is easy to create conflicts.

Therefore, quite a lot of multimedia have looked down upon her marriage.

After lunch, Ryan and Nicole left Malibu, and on the way to Burbank, Nicole suddenly said, "I am a little worried about Alison."

"Worry about her?" Ryan was puzzled and had to say, "Although she is running the announcement, the freshness has not disappeared. There will be no problems in the short term."

"I'm not talking about that." Nicole shook her head. "Don't you think Alison and Gwyne are similar in some ways?"

Ryan immediately understood what Nicole meant. Speaking of which, their sister, although smart and sensible, had the common problems of most wealthy girls, and in terms of the flexibility of the head and the cleverness of the methods, she could get rid of Gwyneth. ? Paltrow three streets.

"this is the key of the problem."

She seemed to understand what Ryan was thinking, and Nicole said worriedly, "Such girls are generally not popular with the opposite sex. Alison has never interacted with anyone before, and he has even played tricks with Kristen. I'm so worried about the boy who pursued her..."

"Okay, dear." Ryan shook Nicole's hand firmly, "You think too much, high IQ doesn't mean low EQ."

"I hope so."

Taylor’s previous life seems to have some problems with his emotional intelligence, but his living environment and personality have changed in this life, and those messy things will definitely not happen again.

Entering Burbank, the car did not go to the Disney building, but went directly to the Warner Studios. Ryan and Nicole changed to a battery car and drove slowly towards Studio 32.

The film shot here has little to do with Ryan and Disney. Although many major Hollywood manufacturers have announced their participation due to the Iranian attack, 90% of the funds actually came from Nicole’s Kidman studio. The investment in the film itself is not too high.

Walking into the studio, the most striking thing is undoubtedly the green screen everywhere, and dozens of red pants standing on the green screen. In order to shoot this film, including Gerald Butler and Michael Fassbender. The main actors in the show have undergone six months of fitness training, and have developed quite exaggerated muscles. Coupled with the modification of late special effects, these sturdy men are enough to attract many audiences.

On the other side, Xerxes I’s appearance is quite ugly, especially in the eyes of contrasting people like Ryan, it is far more ugly and evil than in previous movies. This can be regarded as Hollywood’s revenge against Iran. Who made the Persians be The ancestors of most Iranians today.

As for whether the Iranians will protest after the film is released, Ryan doesn't mind another large-scale smearing operation at that time. In the eyes of most Westerners, Iran is a veritable source of evil in the world.

This is a film led by Nicole. Even though the producer's name is hung, Ryan doesn't mean to say anything. During the free time of the crew, he basically listens to Nicole and director Zach Schneider exchanging opinions.

"Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" does not have any exterior shots. All the images will be completed in front of the green screen in the studio. The background is added through post-production and replacement. Most of the actors’ action scenes are full of muscles. The difficulty can't even match "The Hunger Games".

After all, this film is more focused on post-production.

"The production cost of the film is $65 million."

Sitting on a chair in the lounge area, Nicole held a coffee cup and said to Ryan, "This is the movie I have invested the most in. If it weren't for the Iranian help, I'm afraid I would need a similar amount of publicity expenses."

"So, we need such an opponent." Ryan laughed.

In any case, the Iranian public opinion attacks have done a good job of propaganda for "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", and after the film project was established, it has maintained a certain degree of topicality through various propaganda methods, and has never left. The sight of the public.

If there are some conflicts or conflicts between the federal government and Iran next year when the theater is released, it will undoubtedly increase the propaganda. At that time, under the banner of resisting the evil Persians, it will certainly not be difficult to attract audiences into the theater.

These propaganda methods are all used by Hollywood. As long as they can generate enough profits, Hollywood does not mind portraying Iranians as ridiculous images of Xerxes I.

Compared with other production and distribution companies, because the main recipient group is the relationship between teenagers, Disney's bottom line in publicity is a little higher, but after so many years of operation, Disney has summarized the publicity for teenagers. Many effective methods have created favorable conditions for the big sales of Disney's movies.

Of the four major productions released in the summer archive, "X-Men 3: Last Stand" has only double digits left in the theaters, and the North American box office should end up at around $285 million; the theaters of "The Smiths" There is not much left. The box office of more than 197 million US dollars has almost reached its limit. If Brad Pitt does not make a move, the North American box office will definitely not exceed 200 million US dollars.

Similarly, after the North American box office of "The Hunger Games" struggling to pass the $430 million mark, the market potential was completely exhausted, and the downgrade was just a matter of time.

The only thing that can make a difference in theaters is "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin". After the film received a US$350 million box office in North America, the weekly box office dropped to seven figures. The next step is to rely on time. Accumulated.

According to the development trend of overseas box office, the global box office of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" and "Smiths" will eventually be around US$550 million and US$400 million, respectively. It is impossible to recover the cost through the box office. Peripheral products are not difficult to achieve profitability, but the later full copyright operation will directly affect the amount of profitability.

Large-scale media groups can operate through the entire industry chain, which has a huge advantage in this regard. Disney is a media group with film and television and related industries as its core business. This advantage is even greater.

Estimates from the relevant departments of Disney The two films pass the copyright in the later period, and each can bring at least close to 100 million US dollars in net profit within two years.

The global box office of "The Hunger Games" barely exceeded US$600 million. The current growth rate is very slow. In the end, it can exceed US$700 million. Even Ryan has no confidence. However, the film finally passed the box office to recover the cost. It's profitable.

In addition to popular novels and mockingbird brooches, Disney also gave the comics copyright to Marvel Comics. The latest "Hunger Games" comics were also released in mid-July. Although the sales are not very good, it is not special. Poor, it can always bring six-figure profits.

As for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin", although it is difficult to surpass "The Hunger Games" in North America, it has completely crushed the latter in overseas markets. It has received more than $700 million in less than 30 days of release. Global box office, if nothing else, this will be the first film to break the $1 billion mark this year.

Entering August, the North American market gradually cooled down, but as usual, Disney launched another major production at the beginning of the month.
