Chapter 789： Spiritual 10-legged child star

As a good honest and reliable man, Ronan swore to God that when he was a child, he had already regarded making a "Transformers" movie as a lifelong dream, but realizing his dream also requires like-minded partners. , That's his partner Michael Bay.

I'm not afraid of media reporters digging deep at this point, because everybody has had the cranky thinking when I was young.

Besides, Ronan’s credibility is of the highest level in Hollywood.

The credibility of this thing, of course, is also relatively out. There are too many people like Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood who are not credible, so people like Ronan and Spielberg are particularly prominent.

Ronan felt that he was on par with Spielberg in this respect and there was no problem at all.

became Ronan’s good partner as the director, and his credibility was guaranteed. Michael Bay also changed and became a fan of Transformers.

When the reporter asked, Michael Bay didn’t hesitate to say: “Transformers are one of my favorite toys and animations in my youth. When I was invited by Ronan, I trembled in excitement! But I also knew that, It is really difficult to put this series on the big screen, so I always remind myself that I like everything you pursue, no matter how hard the process is, because in order to turn my dream into In reality, you may spend a lot of dull and boring time."

The press conference was very successful. The news of the "Transformers" project and the establishment of the crew soon spread throughout the circle and spread to the world.

The crew of "Transformers" also opened an official account on Netflix Sharing, which attracted hundreds of thousands of followers on the day of opening.

These are just the beginning. With the production of the film, various related publicity activities will continue to advance.

Hasbro is also developing a promotion plan for Transformers for toy sales considerations.

The popularity of Transformers is because it is Hasbro's ace product series and has created a series of toy sales miracles. Although it is now slightly outdated, even Brian Goldner believes that it has huge development potential. .

However, Brian Goldner has certain doubts about Ronan's choice of Michael Bay as the director.

"Michael Bay’s "Escape from the Clone Island" failed terribly."

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Brian Goldner expressed his doubts to Ronan: "This film has been forced down by North American theaters. The North American box office is only a little over 30 million US dollars, and its What about the investment? It is said that the production and announcement of the film is as high as nearly 200 million US dollars?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "Almost, Spielberg stopped the promotion of the film on the first day of its premiere. The stop loss was fairly timely, and the total investment should not be 200 million US dollars."

Brian Goldner said: "Michael Bay failed in his last film. Isn't it inappropriate to continue directing the "Transformers" series?"

Ronan said: ""Escape from the Clone Island" is not a manifestation of Michael Bay's true level, and the film is not a typical Michael Bay style."

Because the two parties have a cooperative relationship on "Transformers", Ronan said patiently: "In my opinion, apart from James Cameron, no one is more suitable to be the director of this film than Michael Bay, because he For this type of story, it is very sensible. He can mix fictional characters into reality and give them real humanity. In his hands, whether it is an Autobot or a Decepticon, he will The extremely fierce collision is revealed."

Brian Goldner thought about Michael Bay’s movie, and this is not unreasonable.

Ronan certainly cannot say that the choice of Michael Bay was influenced by the past, but there are really many reasons for Michael Bay to persuade people: "Michael Bay has had a very happy cooperation with the Ministry of Defense in many films. The relationship is the best director between Hollywood and the Pentagon. There is no one. We will use a lot of military equipment and personnel for this film. With Michael Bay in, the work in this area will be smoother."

He told an undeniable fact: "If we can't borrow military bases and equipment, we use special effects production methods to produce, and the production budget will be increased by at least 30 million US dollars, and there is no professional equipment involved. It is not to say that it is impossible to shoot, but the effect will certainly not be particularly satisfactory."

Brian Goldner thought carefully, and said, "I understand." He spread his hands out: "Ronan, you are an expert in filmmaking."

Just like Ronan said, Michael Bay is the best choice after comprehensive integration.

In addition, Spielberg also specifically discussed with Ronan the big commercial project of "Transformers".

At the premiere of "World War", Spielberg took the time to test Ronan's meaning.

"Relativity Entertainment has recently launched multiple large-scale production projects at the same time. Will funding be under pressure?" Spielberg seems to be considering Ronan: "If necessary, DreamWorks still has funds to support "Transformers." ."

Ronan understood the meaning of these words, and said: "No need for the time being, Relativity Entertainment can handle it. Steven, if necessary, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Spielberg has no regrets: "The previous two years, Tom De Santo, the producer of DreamWorks, recommended the "Transformers" series to me. I didn't care about it at the time. I looked back and found this toy series. You have already taken down the copyright."

Ronan smiled and said, "I am a fan of Transformers, so I paid attention to it earlier."

Spielberg did not give up easily: "DreamWorks is very sincere in cooperation."

Ronan will not easily give up the benefits of this series, euphemistically said: "Steven, if Relativity Entertainment really can't handle the pressure, I will definitely ask DreamWorks for help."

Although DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment belong to the unified alliance front, they will not let Ronan sell such a large predictable income.

What else Spielberg wanted to say, Tom Cruise took a little girl and suddenly came over.

"Ronan, introduce a friend to you." Tom Cruise interrupted Spielberg and introduced to Ronan with a smile: "This is Dakota Fanning, who plays my daughter in the film. ."

This blonde girl looks very cute with two ponytails.

Probably, I have appeared in many movies in Hollywood. Dakota Fanning is not afraid of life at all. Instead, he took the initiative to reach out and shook Ronan, and said very politely: "Hello, Mr. Anderson, it is a great honor to know you. "

Ronan smiled and said: "Hello. I have seen your movie, you are a genius."

"Thank you." Dakota Fanning is like a little adult: "Can I tell my mother, have you seen my movie?"

Ronan shrugged: "Of course."

Spielberg glanced at Tom Cruise, asked Dakota Fanning, and took her to leave here.

"Just saw you and Steven had a dispute?" Tom Cruise asked.

Ronan said calmly: "A little question about the movie project, just "Transformers."

Tom Cruise smiled and asked, "It seems that the timing of my coming is good?"

Ronan nodded: "It's appropriate." He turned to ask, "How did Dakota Fanning perform in the shooting?"

"Not bad." Tom Cruise said directly: "She can quickly and orderly understand the script, she can play the role freely, and the performance is very real."

He added: "This is what Spielberg said."

Ronan asked, "Compared to Kirsten Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire"?"

Tom Cruise thought for a while and said, "Each has its own strengths. Although they are all child stars, they are not the same type."

Ronan casually said: "I have a project here that requires a few cute actresses. Dakota Fanning might be suitable."

Tom Cruise said: "Just go and talk to her mother. They have expressed more than once that the future of Sister Fanning is in Hollywood. Oh, yes, Dakota Fanning has a younger sister who is also a child star. ."

Ronan has the impression that he is called Elle Fanning, who was once famous for not having an ankle.

In my memory, it seems that my sister was not as good as my sister when I was young, but when I grew up, my sister was even better.

Speaking of which, Dakota Fanning is now a mess, and when he grows up, he can be included in the ranks of the disabled.

The copyright of "King of Sea Bian" has long been taken by Robert Lee. The role of super killer girl must be played by a girl star The former Chloe Moretz, Ronan did not watch After news about her, if not found, Dakota Fanning may also be a suitable candidate.

However, it is actually quite difficult to convince responsible parents to let their daughters appear in this type of film.

In my impression, Fanning sisters’ parents are considered to be the most responsible type among child stars.

Ronan chatted with Tom Cruise about Dakota Fanning's acting skills, and soon entered the theater. The premiere of "World War" began, and he could see Dakota Fanning on the spot. Performance.

Frankly speaking, Dakota-Fanning does have a good acting skills, giving people a sense of spirituality.

It's a pity that most of the child stars who were outstanding when they were young are very mediocre when they grow up.

For example, Macaulay Culkin and Hailey Joe Osment, especially the latter, the acting skills in "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" are really impressive, even unforgettable.

"War of the World" is not very good. Among Spielberg's many movies, it can only be regarded as a fairly mediocre one. However, Spielberg and Tom Cruise have a huge appeal. The atmosphere can be described as bursting.

But the film is a bit disappointing, and it feels that the ending is too fast and too hasty.

Someone once said that in this movie, the male protagonist took two children, faced a group of neuroses, and won inexplicably.
