Chapter 1028: There is always a day to go home

　　Although there has never been a movie starring in a movie with a box office of more than 100 million in North America, Tom Cruise's market appeal is beyond doubt.
　　 The former Tom Cruise, in the later stage, can only rely on the "Mission Impossible" series to support the coffee.
Because of Ronan's relationship with Relativity Entertainment, especially last year's "Infinite Walker" and the just-acquired Oscar for Best Actor Golden Man, Tom Cruise is far more appealing than ever, and is now one of the top superstars in Hollywood. One.
　　Universal Pictures lacks Kim Kerry's "Fake Celestial 2", it is impossible to be the opponent of "Mission Impossible 3".
With a box office of nearly 60 million U.S. dollars, "Disc 3" became the North American box office champion this weekend before Memorial Day. "Fake Tenjin 2" ranked second with 31.19 million U.S. dollars and entered the third weekend screening of "Hulk" "Hulk" ranked third, with a box office revenue of $17.55 million that weekend.
　　 The North American box office of "Hulk" also exceeded 150 million US dollars in one fell swoop. According to the current box office trend, it is not too difficult for the North American box office to exceed 200 million US dollars.
　　 Overseas, as the film appeared in the film market of more countries and regions, the overseas box office of "Hulk" also exceeded 100 million US dollars.
　　 Although the global gross box office is expected to reach about 400 million US dollars, the hope that "Hulk" will recover all the investment through box office revenue alone is not high, and it still depends on the operation of the offline market.
　　 "Mission Impossible 3" was a successful box office in the first week. Whether Tom Cruise or Paramount Pictures, naturally want to shoot a sequel.
　　 Even though Tom Cruise has all kinds of problems, his professionalism and professional attitude need not be doubted.
　　 He quickly contacted Brad Bird and Pixar Studios, preparing to invite Brad Bird to be the director of "Mission Impossible 4".
　　 After "The Incredibles", Brad Bird did not start a new animated feature film business, and was also very interested in directing live-action films.
　　 Ronan and Pixar Studios will not set obstacles for the directors below.
　　 In the past, Ronan and Tom Cruise also imagined that they could completely take back the copyright of the "Mission Impossible" series from Paramount Pictures.
　　 But Paramount Pictures didn’t let it go. The rest was useless.
　　 In the past few years, Paramount Pictures first suffered a setback in the face of Relativity Entertainment, and then failed to acquire DreamWorks, and its performance fell completely. Not only did it rank bottom among the six major Hollywood companies, its performance has long been surpassed by Relativity Entertainment, and even DreamWorks was inferior.
　　 is to have a huge film library and relatively complete marketing channels, otherwise Paramount Pictures will face an extremely severe situation.
　　 The "Mission Impossible" series can be said to be the only remaining facade and signature of the Paramount Pictures series of movies.
In Burbank, in the studio of the Hughes Aircraft Factory, Ronan came out of the studio of the "Iron Man 2" crew and said to Jon Feiru who sent him: "My suggestion is to increase Iron Man and the future potential. Superhero interaction. You don’t need to point out which superhero it is, but you can get one or two specious shots.
　　 Jon Feiru asked: "I have thought about it, such as Doctor Strange..."
Ronan said, "I passed through the Jos-Weeden Gully. The parts of Doctor Strange and the New York Sanctuary can be placed in the final New York battle of "Avengers". Jon, I remember some of the Spider-Man and Iron Man comics. Inside, the two superheroes have a very close relationship, and Iron Man is to some extent Spider-Man’s guide."
　　 Jon Feiru nodded slightly: "Previous manga had this part of the setting."
Ronan added: "Find a little boy and directly interact with Tony Stark, without specifying that he is Peter Parker, but if Spider-Man can appear in the series in the future, he can use the trend to promote it and become a big gimmick. ."
　　 "No problem." Jon Feiru’s biggest advantage is his strong execution. He first agreed, and then asked: "The copyright of Spider-Man in the future..."
　　 Ronan sighed: "Wait for the chance, Peter Parker will come home one day."
　　 Jon Feiru knew that this was not something a director could solve. After Ronan left, he returned to the studio and continued his work on "Iron Man 2."
　　 The production cost of this sequel movie rose to 170 million U.S. dollars, most of which came from the increase in staff salaries.
　　 Robert Downey Jr is a typical example. His pay for the second film soared to 6 million US dollars.
　　 The long contract signed by Marvel Entertainment with him effectively limits the excessive inflation of actors' pay.
　　 The former Robert Downey Jr. can be said to have overwhelmed Marvel and even Disney.
　　 Ronan then went to another nearby studio converted from a hangar, where Lindsay Bill’s "Hunger Games" crew is stationed.
　　 Before coming to the Hughes Aircraft Factory, the two parties had an appointment.
　　 Ronan wants to meet the director and heroine of this project.
　　 In the studio, in the producer's office, Lindsay Bill introduces two women to Ronan.
　　 First, a middle-aged woman: "This is Director Patty Jenkins."
　　 Then came the brunette woman: "This is the actor Gail Gadot from Israel."
　　 Ronan first shook hands with Patty Jenkins and said: "Director Jenkins, we have seen before. The several films you directed are masterpieces."
　　Patty Jenkins said with a smile: "It is an honor to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment."
　　 Then, Ronan shook hands with Gail Gadot. The Israeli actress wore skinny jeans and high heels, her legs were extraordinarily long.
　　 "Hello, Miss Gadot." Ronan once left a very deep impression on Gal Gadot: "I hope you can bring us an unforgettable Katniss."
　　Gail Gadot has participated in the Miss Universe contest. He is not someone who has never seen the world before. He didn't show any contortion. He smiled and said, "I will do my best for this role."
　　 Ronan glanced at her extra slender figure because of her severe skinny, and bluntly said: "You need to strengthen exercise, Katniss is a very tough girl."
　　Gail Gadot looked at Lindsay Bill and said, "The crew has made a fitness plan for me, and I am going to gain 10 pounds of muscle."
　　 Lindsay Bill also said: "I have hired professional coaches and nutritionists."
　　 Ronan nodded and asked, "Director Jenkins, I read your production plan, which is good."
　　 Patty-Jenkins quickly said: "This is my biggest feeling after reading the original. I found a balance with Lindsay and put Katniss in a dangerous environment."
She thought for a while and further said: "We all agree to make Katniss the absolute core of the whole film. The male characters in the novel have a certain role and become Katniss' supporting roles. This "Hunger Games" will explore the modern The chaotic and restless themes of the war include those involved in the fight and how they weave their lives and finally escaped from this smoke-filled place."
Lindsay Bill then said: "Ronan, the creativity and setting of "The Hunger Games" come from you. I am the author, and Patty is in line with our philosophy. The film takes women as the absolute core, and the theme and background are very Cruel and dark."
　　Gail Gadot is just a young actress without much acting experience. At this time, she can only listen to the words of the producer and director.
　　 The series of "The Hunger Games" is of immense value. Even if Ronan is assured of Lindsay Bill, he must meet director Patty Jenkins.
Patty Jenkins’s shooting concept is really reassuring:
So, the film has shaped the character of Katniss, through her growth and evolution, to balance the dark and cruel elements-this extremely stubborn and stubborn girl, Eventually she will become a brave and principled hero. Even if she embarked on this adventure with skepticism at first, but for this she also received a powerful energy derived from love and sacrifice, not only For her family, there are strangers that she rarely cared about before."
　　 Ronan did not stay here much, and soon prepared to leave. Lindsay Bill accompanied him to the outside of the studio.
　　 "How is "Twilight" over there?" Ronan asked, looking at the studio under construction.
　　 Lindsay Bill replied briefly: "The filming of "New Moon" has been finished, and post-production is in progress. I have communicated well with the Embassy Pictures. Next year, the plotter will be released on time."
　　 She paused for a while, and then said, "If nothing else, "The Hunger Games" can be released on the holiday file next year, or early in 2009."
Ronan nodded slightly: "Pay attention to the original novels~EbookFREE.me~ Driven by the promotion of Relativity Entertainment and Random House, the "Hunger Games" series of novels have sold amazingly in recent months, especially the movies. After the announcement of the project, the popularity has also risen unprecedentedly. In North America alone, the total number of novel sales has soared from 16 million to the current 35 million.
　　Especially the first novel, it has been on the best seller list of The New York Times for more than 180 weeks for three consecutive years.
　　 In April of this year, among the top 30 popular cultural terms in North America assessed by the Los Angeles Times, the "beneficial country" of Katniss' life also occupies a position.
　　 It can be said that the novel has laid a good foundation for film adaptation.
　　 Returning to the Century City Relativity Building from Burbank, Connie came over as soon as Ronan entered the office and said, "Miss Felton is back. I just called your office."
　　 Ronan nodded slightly: "I see."
He returned to the office and called Jessica Felton back. Jessica Felton seemed to be busy with the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4", and the two did not say a few words. , Agreed to go back together after get off work, and hung up.
　　 Just after putting down the phone, Connie informed Ronan again that Uvi-Bauer had come and sent a script at the same time.
　　 Uvi-Bauer seemed to be in a hurry and hurriedly handed the script to Ronan and left.
　　 This script is exactly the idea that Brother Bao mentioned about the magical version of Washington. He moved quickly and has already written the first draft script.
