Among the long-term co-directors, Gilmour Del Toro is not the first to part ways with Relativity Entertainment. Because of the inconsistency of concepts and themes, James Huang also ended his cooperation with Shahai Entertainment and turned to Sony Entertainment. Revolutionary Film Company filmed "Universal Pursuit".
It's a pity that the film did not meet expectations. Ronan also persuaded James Huang before he left. James Huang returned to Relativity Entertainment and continued to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment to film the "Death Is Coming" series.
The director itself is a relatively large occupation in the Hollywood circle. If there is no contractual constraint, the choice of famous directors is also huge.
Like James Huang, the end of the cooperation with Gilmour Del Toro at Relativity Entertainment is also a friendly breakup.
There is an opportunity in the future, and the two parties can cooperate again.
According to Ronan, the day after meeting with Gilmour del Toro, the Mexican director went to Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures.
He no longer cared about the specific contact between the two parties.
Relativity Entertainment has a large number of movie projects that require his immediate attention.
Ronan left Los Angeles and came to New Mexico, where the crew of "Fast and Furious 3" is filming.
The film crew’s location set is a desert, but it’s not far from the town. The living conditions outside of filming are much better than when Ang Lee filmed "Brokeback Mountain".
Even if the set is deserted, everyone on the crew can guarantee to stay in a four-star hotel, come back from the wild every day, and take a hot bath in time.
In the studio, the camera was erected high on the boom. Even though the distance was far away, the roar of car motors could still be heard, and the flying dust would blow over with the constantly changing wind from time to time.
Jessica Felton is wearing light blue jeans, a black short-sleeved t-shirt with long sun-proof ice sleeves, a black baseball cap printed with LA, and a pair of dark sunglasses.
The sunshine in New Mexico is very strong.
Ronan also put on a Lakers ball cap, the hot sun is not very comfortable.
The two sat under a huge sun umbrella, and their conditions were much better than those of the busy crew.
"The movie project I am in charge of is always related to the sun." Jessica Felton took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ronan: "During the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean", I can enjoy sunbathing almost every day. Now, Spend every day in the sun."
Ronan pointed to her dress: "You are very experienced."
Jessica Felton shrugged: "Anyway, I'm a woman too, so I have to be more careful with myself." She drank and said, "It is the actress who is really sad. head."
Ronan joked: "I remember he was not white at first."
Jessica Felton laughed and reminded: "Now, don't talk nonsense about this."
Various protests across the United States have gradually subsided over time. Although in the end they did not take the two white police officers in Atlanta, the changes in the social environment are very obvious.
Ronan nodded: "This kind of joke, I just tell you, I usually pay attention."
A black man can scold another black nigger, that’s okay, but other people scold a nigger, that’s racism.
This is already a generally accepted view in the United States.
Ronan thought of the composition of the multi-ethnic crew of the crew, and asked: "What is the atmosphere of the crew?"
"There are minor contradictions, but the major conflicts that have affected the shooting have not happened." Jessica Felton said simply: "The director is Asian, and the interpersonal relationship is handled well. The two male protagonists Johnson and Paul are both People with a more easy-going personality can get along well with other people, especially Johnson. That big guy is the lubricant of the crew, and the atmosphere will always get better when he is there."
She smiled and said, "Other actors know their own weight and will not take the initiative to cause trouble."
Ronan nodded slowly: "That's good."
"The most tense relationship is the two actresses who have the most drama." Jessica Felton gave Ronan a special look: "The Korean Jaina and Jordana basically didn't speak. But it’s nothing. It didn’t interfere with normal work. It’s normal for actresses with similar roles in the crew.”
Ronan said: "Jesse, you are a producer, you have the final say on this crew."
Jessica Felton said again: "Don't worry, I will only resolve and limit contradictions, and will not expand them."
"I have a technical talent like you." Ronan laughed, "I can't rest assured."
Jessica Felton changed the topic: "The post-production of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" is basically completed. If "Fast and Furious 3" goes well, all filming will be over before June, and it will be transferred to the later stage. In production, the film will definitely be completed within this year."
"The schedule is set." Ronan twisted the mineral water: "It will be released next summer."
He took a sip: "It's only March, the **** weather, it's too hot."
Jessica Felton handed out a towel, Ronan took it and wiped his sweat: "It's too dry here."
"Actually it's okay." Jessica Felton said with a smile: "I sweat every day. I can smell the sweat when I return to the hotel after get off work."
Ronan took off his sunglasses and wiped the fine sweat beads from his forehead: "I feel like I'm stinky now."
Jessica Felton craned her neck, leaned over and sniffed, deliberately fanning in front of her nose, jokingly: "You can kill a cow. Ronan, I suggest you go back and take a bath first. Go and see Jaina."
Ronan looked at her and asked: "When did you care about these gossip news?"
Jessica Felton said: "There are a lot of rumors in the crew, it's hard not to notice it."
Ronan has nothing to say about this, just like Leonardo and Will Smith, if they did it, someone would definitely talk about it.
Many things in Hollywood, it’s not that you say there is no, it does not exist.
Ronan automatically switched to the channel: "Should I take a break after shooting this project?"
Jessica Felton shook her head: "No need. I have been involved in film production and have had a very fulfilling experience. The state now suits me best. This is something I have never felt before I met you. I am ready to start a new one. The project of course is that Relativity Entertainment already has the copyright."
"Which project?" Ronan asked.
In the past two years, the copyright library of Relativity Entertainment has enriched many projects, and has bought many scripts and related copyrights of other works from North America and overseas.
Jessica Felton reminded: "Do I remember the script I recommended to you? Hasn't Relativity Entertainment already taken the copyright?"
Ronan thought for a while, and remembered: "You are talking about "Juno" about teenage pregnancy, right?"
"It's "Juneo"." Jessica Felton said: "There is a gap between "Fast and Furious 3" and the fourth part. I want to try to promote this project. Probably next year Preparations will start in half a year, and the filming will begin next year, and it will be released around 2007."
This is the project that Jessica Felton found. Ronan will certainly not refuse, and the protests that have spread throughout the United States in recent months have promoted not only the black movement, but also other affirmative movements. development of.
With the changes in social forms, the subject matter of Juno will no longer be as sensitive as before.
has a vague impression. He seemed to have downloaded and watched this film during the 2008 Olympic Games.
Although he has been a good friend with Jessica Felton for many years, Ronan still wants to talk about some things at work: "The subject matter of "Juneo" naturally determines that high investment is impossible. Jessie, Shahai Entertainment will not have the support of "Fast and Furious 3", and the production investment cannot exceed...8 million US dollars, or even lower. You must be psychologically prepared."
Jessica Felton smiled and said: "I understand that this will be a low-cost movie. I also made plans. If you don't hire star actors and big-name directors, you can complete the production for about $5 million. Shoot."
Since she brought it up in front of Ronan, she certainly made some preparations.
Ronan nodded slightly, thinking of the impressive heroine, and said: "I have read the script. The heroine in it is too special. It is difficult for young actresses to meet the requirements. Older actors ~ www.novelhall. com~ does not meet the setting."
Jessica Felton also considered: "This is indeed a problem. Hollywood has always used actors in their twenties to play underage girls."
Ronan said: "White women mature prematurely. Normally, this is not a big problem, but this role is too special. It must be recognizable as an underage girl, so that the film has more impact."
Upon hearing this, Jessica Felton couldn’t help asking: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Have you seen "Fruit Hard Candies"?" Ronan said directly: "The heroine Alan Peggy in it has excellent natural conditions and excellent acting skills."
Jessica Felton looked at Ronan in surprise, and deliberately asked: "Do you still watch this kind of film? Can you still impress you? I thought men would only have one feeling after watching..."
Ronan smiled and said: "It's just a movie." He turned back to the topic: "Yes, I remember it, I have let people know before, Alan Page starred in Twentieth Century Fox's "X-Men 3 "It seems to be the Phantom Cat."
"That's fine, I don't have her contact information." Jessica Felton said: "I'm looking for someone to go directly to the set to make preliminary contact with her."
"Juneo" can be said to be a very special film project. Now it is only a preliminary plan, and the specific plan will be later.
The day of the crew’s shooting is over, Ronan meets Jaina-jeon, the actress from South Korea who is doing her best
