Chapter 703： Both appearance and acting

Towards the end of October, Tom Cruise, who had been filming "Mission Impossible 3" in Europe, ended all the scenes and returned to Los Angeles. After a short break for two days, he immediately ran to Ronan for a party.

"The film is finished, and post-production will start next month." Tom Cruise said, sitting on the sofa in the reception room, "Ronan, I remember you have a female editor who is a master, can you borrow it? "

Ronan could only refuse: "I'm afraid not. She is not only an editor, but also a producer, preparing for a new film."

Tom Cruise rubbed his face: “Christopher McCauley’s filming is fine, but it’s not appropriate to let him do post-editing, especially for fast-paced action shots.”

"It's okay to hire an external editor." Ronan turned over, found the note paper, wrote Paul Greengrass phone number on it, and handed it to Tom Cruise: "This is the "Mission Impossible" series The director's phone call, "Mission Impossible 3" has been completed. The editor Paul Greengrass has been working with should be on vacation. I don't know the phone number. You ask someone to contact Paul and ask if the editor has any intention to cooperate. "

Tom Cruise was not polite with Ronan either: "Thanks."

Ronan picked up the teapot and gave him a cup of black tea: "You are kind to me."

Tom Cruise collected the notes and asked: "Have you followed Manchester United recently?"

"No." Ronan told the truth: "There is a lot of work on the theory of relativity, and I don't have time to watch the game."

Tom Cruise was helpless: "A boss like you..." He shook his head straight: "Manchester United fans don't know whether to laugh or cry."

"How are your results recently?" Ronan asked.

"It's a bit ups and downs. After all, there are more new aids." Tom Cruise said simply: "I went to Old Trafford last weekend to watch. Manchester United was tied at home by Everton and is still leading the standings. , But the gap between Chelsea and Manchester United in second place is only one point."

Ronan vaguely remembered that Chelsea's first Premier League season in Mourinho was a complete posture.

Now that nearly ten rounds of the Premier League have passed, Manchester United is ranked first. This is probably the change brought about by his move to Manchester United.

"Manchester United will be the champion." Ronan took a sip from his teacup, "I believe this."

Tom Cruise said with a smile: "I also believe that Manchester United can regain the Premier League title."

Ronan said: "If the situation of Manchester United and Chelsea is still unclear in the second half of the season, remember to inform me."

Tom Cruise asked: "What do you want to do?"

"What can I do?" Ronan spread out his hand and said, "I am most concerned about the spirit of competition and respect the principles of fairness and justice."

Tom Cruise said directly, "I reserve your opinion."

Listening to Ronan's tone, he made it clear that he wanted to do something.

Ronan’s tone is relaxed: “Don’t worry, I won’t make fun of Manchester United’s century-old reputation.”

Some people investigating in London some time ago have confirmed something and obtained key evidence.

Ronan does not intend to expose it immediately. Such an interesting thing must of course be used at the most critical moment.

In professional football, many interesting things often happen.

After talking about football and the Premier League, Tom Cruise turned to ask: "By the way, that gangster project, have you talked to Martin Scorsese."

Ronan poured himself a cup of tea: "It's not there yet, it's not the time, and the schedule for you and Will is not appropriate. It's never too late to talk after Oscar next year."

Tom Cruise is a smart man and immediately realized: "Are you not optimistic about Martin Scorsese and the "Aviator" Oscar trip this year?"

Ronan drank a sip of tea: "I watched Universal Pictures' preview, how can I say, I always feel that this film is too deliberate, but it will cause negative effects."

Oscars and the old men of the academy are sometimes very weird, asking the Olympic players to respect them, but not too deliberately.

This game, anyway, is the truth of the college and the old men.

Ronan said again: “Don’t forget, there are still many films under Relativity Entertainment that are going to win prizes during the awards season, and I don’t want to see Martin Scorsese winning.”

If Martin Scorsese gets the Oscar for Best Director or Best Picture, the director’s pay will inevitably skyrocket.

By the way, it is too difficult to win the award with "The Aviator". This film can be said to be one of Martin Scorsese's most mediocre works.

The only advantage is to show the golden age of Hollywood, and Catherine Hepburn.

There are too many old men in Hollywood who never forget the so-called golden age at the peak of their lives. They always praised that Hollywood was the best era of film in the world.

It can only be said that each generation has its own golden age.

Ronan glanced at the time: "Let’s stop here today, I have an appointment with Director David Fincher to talk about the film project."

Tom Cruise said, "I will call again if I have something to do."

He also wants to contact Paul Greengrass to confirm the editor.

Ronan came to the office floor where the crew was and entered David Fincher’s temporary office. As the screenwriter Lindsay Bill had arrived and was discussing the plot with David Fincher.

This project temporarily code-named "Girl", after David Fincher made sufficient preparations, the crew has been formed and the project has entered the preparatory stage.

"The script and Lindsay have basically been finalized." David Fincher went directly to the subject: "I also inspected many practitioners in this area according to the method provided by Lindsay, and collected relevant information by myself."

He is very sure: "I have made preparations and filming preparations."

Ronan said: "35 million U.S. dollars, the first 5 million U.S. dollars of start-up funds have been received, and subsequent budgets will be transferred to third-party accounts."

Lindsay-Bill then said: "I need 100,000 dollars. The script characters are based on my classmates in New York. In order to avoid possible copyright disputes, I reached an agreement with her and require 100,000 dollars for authorization."

"No problem." Ronan doesn't care about such small things. If it weren't for Lindsay Bill, he wouldn't care about such specific matters at all: "Linsey, you can get her as soon as possible."

David Fincher added: "The filming team of the crew will be in place soon. Basically, they are all capable people who have worked with me. The next stage will focus on the actors, especially the heroine. This is the whole drama. core."

Lindsay Bill devoted too much time and energy to this project. At this time, he said: "The heroine is the key. The actors need to be able to support the whole show."

David Fincher mentioned this matter, of course he was prepared: "Someone recommended some candidates to me, and some people, after hearing about this project, took the initiative to ask the agent to recommend to the crew.

Hollywood crews cannot avoid human relationships. Ronan also knows this, but he can enter the audition through human relationships. If you want to get a role, you need to look at the specific performance.

The nature of this play determines that no one can act as an actress.

Ronan asked directly, "Who are the candidates?"

David Fincher said: "The character must be **** and beautiful, and the temperament must be sunny, so as to form a strong contrast with the dark theme. An agent recommended Jessica Alba to me..."

"She is not suitable." Ronan said without hesitation: "Jessica Alba's appearance and temperament are not a problem, but her acting skills..."

Ronan looked at David Fincher: "David, are you sure you can tune this sweet lady into the heroine who alone supports this drama in the filming?"

David Fincher can't guarantee.

Ronan said, "Jessica Alba doesn't have to think about it."

The recommendation of Jessica Alba to David Fincher was because of favor, and Ronan has now rejected it directly. The favor is actually paid back. David Fincher didn’t mean to insist and said, “So I won’t I sent Jessica Alba an audition invitation."

If the film needs a pure vase sweet lady role, Jessica Alba is definitely a very suitable actor.

Acting is indeed a very subjective feeling, but it also depends on a certain degree of division. The division between ordinary and excellent is still very obvious.

David Fincher said: "A few days ago, at a party, Natalie Portman took the initiative to find me and expressed her strong interest in this role."

Ronan waved his hand: "Her appearance does not meet the requirements."

Natalie Portman seems to be quite different from the word **** and beautiful.

Natalie Portman's appearance is unconvincing for some men to pay thousands of dollars an hour for service fees.

Maybe Matilda is okay.

David Fincher frowned slightly: "I think Natalie Portman's acting skills are the best among the younger generation of Hollywood."

Ronan did not answer the conversation, but asked Lindsay-Bill: "Linsai, how does your classmate look like?"

What did Lindsay Bill say: "It's at the top level in Hollywood."

Without a certain appearance and temperamentHow can it be possible to achieve a relatively high position in this industry in New York?

There is New York, and even this kind of industry has to face fierce competition.

This role is indispensable for acting and appearance.

Natalie Portman was also rejected by Ronan.

David Fincher is somewhat depressed, because he is still more optimistic about Natalie Portman.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Audition, you can always find a suitable one."

"This can only be done." David Fincher has no objection: "I send invitations to major brokerage companies."

The three discussed for a while, and Ronan went to Jessica Felton's office on the same floor to take a look. "Fast and Furious 3" was also being prepared.

He didn't stay for many meetings and went back to the office.

Connie followed and brought an invitation letter: "This is just sent by the secretary of George Lucas. George Lucas invites you to attend an event at the USC Film Academy this weekend."

Ronan rolled his eyes and remembered what he said during the last meeting with George Lucas: "You call the George Lucas office and I will attend on time."
