In the reception room of Shahai Entertainment, Ronan met Liam Neeson, who was nearly fifty years old.
This uncle-type actor is a typical example of getting older and more popular. Perhaps the accumulation of life experience has brought maturity enough to attract most people.
The Liam Neeson whom Ronan saw was a man tempered by time. He has a very tall figure and a calm temperament, but the melancholy, deep and occasionally meaningful smile between the brows and the corners of the mouth is obviously hidden. Too much content.
This is the strongest dad in the movie.
When this movie star appeared on the screen as a father, anyone could believe that any murderer who dared to invade his family would end up miserably.
It is said that after Thanos’ snaps wiped out a dog and a girl, in the face of the anger of John Wick and Bryan, Thanos also knelt down and sang Conquest.
Just a glance, Ronan instantly thought of the role Liam Neeson played in his previous life.
This is one of his favorite Hollywood movie stars.
Liam Neeson has played many business cards such as "The Daughter of the Earth" and "Schindler's List", and has been nominated for Oscar and British Academy Film Awards.
Liam Neeson’s temperament makes him a spokesperson for screen roles such as mentors, fathers, and guides, whether it’s the Jedi Knight in "Phantom Menace", the priest Varun in "New York Gangs," or "The Kings of Heaven." Godfrey in "Batman: Hour of War", Henry Ducard in "Batman: Hour of War", Ph.D. in "Professor of Sexology", and Aslan in "The Chronicles of Narnia", they are all responsible for inspiring young people The responsibility of the protagonist.
"I have played some action roles."
After greeting, Liam Neeson said to Ronan: "But he hasn't appeared in a purely action movie. Strictly speaking, this is the first time."
Ronan smiled and said, "Liam, I think it's a good choice for you to change to the type of action."
Liam Neeson himself has a kind of British seriousness, and solemnly said: "Really? I will be fifty years old soon, and I will soon be impressed."
Ronan didn't care: "It doesn't matter, Hollywood always has many means to assist."
Having said that, compared to his previous life, Liam Neeson is still relatively young. Think about what Tom Cruise was doing in his 50s in his previous life? I also personally filmed the scenes of jumping off the building. Fifty years old is really not the old age for action actors.
In the previous "Hurricane Rescue" series, Liam Neeson was agile in the first part, killing people like cutting melons and vegetables, but in the second part, because of his age, Liam Neeson’s actions were very complete. Poor, I can clearly feel the powerlessness, the film had to find ways to substitute and edit, resulting in the action scenes not brilliant at all.
Ronan has advanced this series for many years, and it is estimated that Liam Neeson will be able to shoot the trilogy in a better state.
Liam Neeson is a typical powerful actor, but his reputation and pay have not been high. Shahai Entertainment directly signed a trilogy actor contract with him.
Ronan thinks that Liam Neeson didn't mix well before, mainly because he was not old enough.
Some movie stars, when they are old enough, will become more popular and valuable.
Liam Neeson is this typical.
Ronan intends to cooperate with him for a long time and will carry out the rescue in the coming years.
How come you have to rescue planes, cars, trains, ships, submarines, etc. next to each other. In the future, there may be a chance to go to the sky to rescue them.
It's like the American soldiers hit the Invincible Hands all over the earth in Hollywood movies, so they had to fight the aliens.
One day, the evil forces on the earth will not be able to resist the professional rescue of Uncle Nissen, and they can only rush out of the earth and go to outer space for rescue.
Anyway, the life of this movie star cannot be separated from the rescue chief.
Save Jews, save ghosts, save gods, save daughters, save wives, save yourself, save planes, fire trucks, save aliens...
Liam Neeson didn't wait much. After getting the full version of the script from Ronan, he soon left. Ronan sent Liam Neeson away. He just returned to the office when his gunman Lindsay Bill found him.
"Hi, Ronan." Lindsay Bill pulled out the chair and sat down.
Ronan smiled and nodded: "Is there something, Lindsay?"
"The last one, I have finished it." Lindsay Bill felt a sense of relief after unloading the burden: "I have sent the last part of the manuscript to your mailbox. Can you read it as soon as possible?"
Ronan asked, "Have you finished writing Fifty Shades of Gray?"
Lindsay Bill said again: "I have finished writing everything."
Ronan is very satisfied: "Linsai, your efficiency is amazing and you are doing very well."
He opened the mailbox, found the relevant emails, browsed briefly, and then said: "Yes, I will let Connie contact Random House to enter the publication review stage as soon as possible. There are the first two works, this publication should no problem."
Although Lindsay Bill can sign all three of them, she is always a gunman. What she really cares about is not publication. She tentatively said: "The Fifty Shadows of Gray is completed, and the contract between us is fulfilled."
Hearing this, Ronan looked at Lindsay Bill and asked, "Do you have a plan?"
Lindsay Bill said: "You promised..."
Ronan laughed: "My promise is valid at all times. Lindsay, are you really going to be a screenwriter?"
Lindsay Bill answered without hesitation: "Yes, this is my dream and my goal in Hollywood."
"Okay." Ronan rummaged in the bookcase at the back, found one, took it and pushed it to Lindsay Bill: "This is a young woman, please take a look first, if you can, take it Adapted into a script."
Lindsay Bill took it and glanced at the cover: "Summer in Jeans?"
Ronan nodded slightly: "I bought the film adaptation rights last year, and I plan to make it into a movie next year. This is a girly theme. Female screenwriters naturally have an advantage. You are responsible for adapting it into a script."
Lindsay Bill responded: "No problem." She then realized something and asked: "Am I responsible for the adaptation alone?"
Ronan said, "You will be in charge for the time being."
For Lindsay Bill, this was a complete surprise. Originally, she thought she could join a screenwriting group like other screenwriters in the screenwriting department. It would be best if she had the right to sign, and she never thought about it. Responsible for the script of a project alone.
Ronan reminded: "Don't be too happy. Lindsay, you have to come up with a script outline as soon as possible. If I am not satisfied, I will hand this project to someone else."
Lindsay Bill quickly said: "Don't worry, I will start as soon as possible."
Ronan waved his hand: "Go, take a good look at this book first." He thought of something, and said: "I have already determined the choice of the actress for the heroine. You'd better refer to her characteristics for the related persona of the role. ."
In some ways, Ronan is definitely a very conscientious producer. He wrote down Anne Hathaway’s contact information and gave it to Lindsay Bill, and said: “I’m going on a business trip in a few days. Contact Miss Anne Hathaway and get in touch with her."
Lindsay Bill collected the note with the phone number and said, "Okay."
When he returned to the manor from get off work that evening, Ronan also mentioned this to Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway was very excited and squatted directly in front of him, performing live performances of the benefits of a big mouth. .
Although Anne Hathaway has a rough head, she can also realize that Ronan's film career is getting bigger and bigger.
In the next few days, Ronan was preparing for the next trip across the Pacific Ocean. It is not easy for a newly established film foundation to attract investment. The more prepared you are, the fewer difficulties you will face.
Ronan made Shahai Entertainment and Scott, who represented the Pacific Film Foundation, signed a total of five film investment agreements, including "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Hurricane Rescue" and "Jeans" that have not yet entered the preparatory stage. Summer.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" not only prepared relevant cast and crew information, but also printed a copy of the third-party completion guarantee. It has Allianz Group insurance, which can dispel many people's doubts.
At the same time, Anne Hathaway also signed a film contract with Shahai Entertainment to serve as the heroine of "Jeans in Summer".
In this way, both "Hurricane Rescue" and "Summer of Jeans" have star-level leading actors. Even if the crew has not yet been established and cannot get the completion guarantee contract, they are still attractive.
Although the Pacific Film Foundation has recently been established, it has an investment agreement with Shahai Entertainment and already has strong financing capital.
You know, many film foundations in Hollywood don't even have an investment contract, so they dare to go overseas to attract investment, and they can get investment!
Nowadays, Shahai Entertainment and Relativity Entertainment Group are no longer the previously unknown film companies The big sales of "The Bourne Shadow" has brought the company a huge reputation.
These are also effective financing aids.
Hundreds of relevant materials have been prepared. Ronan also formed a team on this trip to East Asia. Scott and two deputies will accompany the Pacific Foundation on behalf of the Pacific Foundation. His staff will be accompanied by several assistants headed by Connie. Will also accompany to go.
Then there are bodyguards, David and Vinci are indispensable.
This time, in addition to stimulating financing, Ronan also specially commissioned Jeff Katzenberg to obtain the first-hand resume and information of Robert Iger and prepare to talk to the smiling Mickey Mouse again.
After Robert Iger was assigned to the island country by Walt Disney, he has been resident there, and there is no trend of being transferred back. The past two years have probably belonged to the pre-dawn darkness in Robert Iger's life.
Time has just entered mid-December. A team of nearly ten people led by Ronan himself boarded the flight from Los Angeles International Airport and flew directly to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
