Chapter 659： Heroine candidate

Because of the co-production of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Mamma Mia", Ronan attended a Tom Hanks party and met Spielberg at the party.

"I heard that the "Iron Man" project is looking for suitable actresses?"

Having had many dealings with Artisan Films, Spielberg and Ronan are also very familiar with each other. The two sides are loose offensive and defensive alliances, so Spielberg’s words are also a bit direct: "I have Personal choice."

Ronan wanted to give Spielberg proper face, and said: "Let her agent contact Kevin Fitch, I will greet him and arrange an audition."

He said to Connie who was following: "Remember to call Kevin Fitch."

The ordinary-looking female assistant nodded gently.

But Spielberg's words did not end there, and said: "It is a goddaughter of mine. The development has not been very smooth in recent years. I need an opportunity. I don't have a suitable role here.

As we all know, Spielberg has a lot of goddaughters and godsons, and he is famous for taking care of them.

Ronan of course understood what Spielberg meant, but didn't want to give more preferential treatment. He deliberately asked: "Steven, you didn't mean Drew Barrymore? I remember she did it in the film industry. That’s right, Flower Pictures has made successive investments."

Spielberg was a little helpless, but his heart was indeed relatively good in Hollywood, and he immediately said: "It's not Drew, it's Gwyneth Paltrow."

Sure enough, this name did not surprise Ronan at all.

In the past, Pepper was able to get so many resources in the early stage, and in the later stage, he could catch up with the Marvel SuperBritish car. The network behind him must have played an important role.

Ronan had a bad impression of Gwyneth Paltrow, who is the most famous princess patient in Hollywood.

"Miss Paltrow is an Oscar queen." Ronan tactfully refused: "To be honest, this heroine is actually only a supporting actress. She has very few scenes and does not match with Miss Paltrow. Moreover, the pay is very low, and the budget is only 50,000. US dollars to 100,000 US dollars."

With that said, Spielberg's interest diminished in an instant. After all, he knew that Gwyneth Paltrow was a very proud person and might not be able to see such a small role.

Ronan changed the topic in due course: "How is the distribution channel integration?"

"Basically completed." Spielberg's attention also returned to DreamWorks: "There were some difficulties in the middle, you know, some people think DreamWorks is a threat."

Ronan nodded slightly: "They also think Relativity Entertainment is a threat."

Spielberg added: "So, we have to work closely together against those people."

Ronan slowly nodded, thinking of the plan agreed with Robert Iger, and said: "Steven, it is not enough for us to defend passively. DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment must find a suitable time to launch a sharp attack against one of them. Strike back and tell Hollywood and the entire business circle that we not only have the power to protect ourselves, but we can also fight the enemy."

Spielberg nodded first, and then shook his head: "DreamWorks has just stabilized a bit, and the strength is currently insufficient."

Ronan gradually put the dialogue on the desired track: "So, we have to work closely together."

Hearing what he just said, Spielberg's eyes condensed slightly and asked: "The opportunity is not easy to find."

Ronan didn't say anything clearly, instead he asked: "Steven, what do you think of the recent successive personnel changes and internal confrontations at Walt Disney?"

"Walt Disney?" Spielberg pushed down his glasses: "They are indeed a lot of trouble."

Ronan smiled: "Maybe they will have more trouble in the future."

Spielberg said: "I hope Paramount Pictures will be in trouble. Of course, it's not a bad thing for Disney to have more trouble."

Ronan whispered: "DreamWorks has integrated distribution channels, and Paramount Pictures can't swallow you."

Spielberg understood the key and said: "Paramount Pictures will never have another chance."

Ronan glanced at Tom Hanks not far away and suggested, "Steven, let's find a place to talk."

Spielberg nodded: "I'm going to borrow a lounge from Tom."

The two greeted Tom Hanks, and quickly went to the second floor. When they came out, it was already more than half an hour later.

Ronan and Spielberg did not have any contact with other people, and after bidding farewell to Tom Hanks, they left directly.

Although DreamWorks has not developed smoothly in the past two years, it has encountered a series of difficulties. Even David Geffen has left the DreamWorks system with music and other departments, but the company's confidence is also unmatched by ordinary small and medium-sized companies. The basic strength is still there.

Moreover, after spending a huge amount of money to get the distribution channel of Artisan Films from Relativity Entertainment, DreamWorks has pulled in new investments, and Spielberg's ambitions are gradually returning.

Relativity Entertainment and DreamWorks have contradictions, but the contradiction is currently within the controllable range, and the common enemy of both parties is sufficient to suppress the contradiction.

In fact, Ronan is very clear that at this point, if there is no DreamWorks, the situation of Relativity Entertainment will never be as easy as it is now.

After all, what DreamWorks looks at is better than Relativity Entertainment.

Similarly, without relativity entertainment, DreamWorks faces much more pressure.

Ronan also hopes that at certain moments, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment can stand together and cut a piece of cake from one of the six major companies.

Of course, he will not relax his vigilance on DreamWorks.

Spielberg is a good old man, personally, even a group of people with better hearts in Hollywood.

But no matter how good a good old man becomes a spokesperson for the interests of many capitals, he will have a fierce side.

Even if Spielberg does not do it, the power of capital will push him to do it. If he does not do it, for a company with a complex shareholding structure like DreamWorks, capital will inevitably replace a new spokesperson.

In the next few days, for Spielberg’s sake, the crew of "Iron Man" sent Gwyneth Paltrow an audition invitation for Pepper, but not surprisingly, Gwyneth Paltrow After the initial audition, the crew and the actors both refused.

The crew was not satisfied with the image of Gwyneth Paltrow and thought it did not meet the requirements of the vase.

Gwyneth Paltrow is also dissatisfied with the role and pay.

For star actors, the crew and roles are often a two-way choice.

Most of the most popular actors are not very interested in the role of Pepper, especially when long appointments and pay are in front of them.

But Ronan received a call from Milla Jovovich, and Milla Jovovich actually expressed interest in playing this role.

Two consecutive "Resident Evil" successes, Alice made Milla Jovovich, but also limited Milla Jovovich.

Probably Milla Jovovich or her agent also saw this problem, and wanted to create another line of acting career besides Alice.

Ronan did not respond specifically, but left it to Kevin Fitch and Jon Fitch who led the audition to make choices.

However, Kevin Fitch passed him a list of heroine auditions. Unexpectedly, there are many familiar names in the list.

These people are not actors, but supermodels.

For example, Victoria's Secret model Heidi Klum.

Although supermodels appear in movies with very low pay and have certain popularity and popularity, they will not be the first choice of the crew.

Acting skills are still a basic consideration. If the basic acting skills pass, there is no problem.

Ronan didn't want to intervene in the audition for the heroine of "Iron Man", but the appearance of someone made him change his mind.

"Hello, Uncle Anderson."

The one who appeared in the reception room was a girl less than twenty years old: "Remember me?"

Ronan shook her hand, and said, "Hello, Curty, this is not the first time we have met." He specifically said, "Let me call Ronan. Let us leave your father alone and discuss each other. ."

This is a tall girl. According to the metric system, it is definitely more than 1.75 meters. It is not particularly beautiful, but the temperament is elegant and restrained. She has the brown hair that is most common in Western women. She always wears a slightly tough face. With a faint smile, his gestures show good tutoring.

Kety Horn, previously worked with Relativity Entertainment, played a supporting role in "Mean Girl". ,

Can get this role, on the one hand because of his good abilities, on the other hand because he has a good father, Alan Horn, the president of Warner Bros. Pictures.

A few years ago, Corti Horne showed Ronan the script she wrote. Because of the relationship between Alan Horne, Ronan and Corti Horne exchanged information about the script and Some opinions on the role.

The girl left a deep impression on Ronan at the time. Katti Horn was very interested in acting, but didn't want to trouble her father's work.

Such a clear-headed young girl is rarely seen in Hollywood.

Some girls with good family backgrounds and interested in fame and acting careers are more of Paris-Hilton or Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ronan still remembers At that time, Kety Horn, who was like a high school student, said solemnly: I can't affect my father's work because of this little thing.

This is really hard to come by.

Therefore, Ronan has always had a good impression of Keti Horn.

"Are you looking for something to do with me?" Ronan looked at Curty Horn.

Perhaps it is the relationship between the natural development of Caucasians. Compared with a few years ago, Keti Horne seems to be much more mature.

However, she feels as good as ever.

Kety Horn’s long brown hair is tied into a simple ponytail. She wears a simple gray tight body shirt on her upper body and slim cropped trousers on her lower body. Due to her height, her legs are still very long even without high heels.

Although not a very beautiful type, it is still very temperamental.
