Chapter 889: Status equivalence

"The company has set a budget for Twilight."
In the office, Lindsay Bill pushed down his black-rimmed glasses and said to Ronan, "The production budget is 35 million dollars, which is sufficient."
Ronan approved this. Of course he knew that "the magical elements are just embellishments. After all, this is a romantic movie."
It's like all kinds of TV dramas with clothes such as workplace, costumes, and crime solving. Everything is for the love triangle.
Qiong Yao-style romantic dramas no longer meet the needs of the times, but new-style dog-blood romantic dramas quickly filled this market.
The biggest difference between the two is estimated to be that Xiaosan is no longer full of justice and has become villains.
Lindsay Bill then said, "As for the director, given your reputation, many directors have expressed a strong interest..."
"Is there Catherine Hardwick?" Ronan asked.
Lindsay Bill thought for a while and said, "Yes, she submitted her resume through caa's channel."
Ronan reminded, "You pay attention to her. This is the person recommended by Tom Cruise. Tom's vision is still trustworthy."
Catherine Hardwick is an art director and has held this position in many films. He has worked with Tom Cruise and served as art director, associate director and executive producer in "Vanilla Sky". .
At the same time, she is the screenwriter and director of "The Thirteen", which is also a relatively successful low-cost youth film. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the same genre as "Twilight".
Lindsay Bill checked Catherine Hardwick's relevant information and said, "The Age of Love 13 is the first official feature film directed by Catherine Hardwick. It won 1012 at a production cost of 1.5 million US dollars. Ten thousand dollars at the box office."
This data is undoubtedly very convincing.
Lindsay Bill continued, "This year, as a director and screenwriter, she collaborated with Sony Columbia Pictures on a film called "Lord of Dogtown". The film was released in June. The production cost was $2.5 million, 1341. Ten thousand dollars in total box office."
Ronan nodded slowly. For a commercial director like him, he values ​​commercial data more.
"Tom is still very reliable." Ronan said.
Lindsay Bill took over, "From the perspective of "The Age of Thirteen" and "The Lord of Dogtown", Catherine Hardwick should be good at shooting youth themes."
Ronan thought for a while and said, "Let’s do it, Lindsay, you first contact Catherine Hardwick. You wrote the specific content of this novel, and you also wrote the screenplay. Catherine Hardwick is not good Appropriate, you should be able to judge."
Lindsay Bill is no longer the little gunner when she first came to Relativity Entertainment, and said, "Okay, I will ask Catherine Hardwick to interview."
Ronan turned to ask, "What about the actors?"
Lindsay Bill said, "I have met Kristen Stewart. She has a lot of experience in acting. In 2002, she filmed "Terror Space" with Judy Foster, and in 2003 with Daniel Quaid and Sharon- Stone co-starred in "The Haunted House", and in 2004 starred in the crime comedy "Little Ghost", and this year she also starred in a drama "No More Silence" released..."
"This is a child star." Ronan understood.
Lindsay Bill reminded that "the industry believes that Kristen Stewart has a promising future."
Ronan made the decision "Send an audition invitation."
Lindsay Bill said, "I think it's better to wait for the audition invitation after next year."
"Huh?" Ronan wondered.
Lindsay Bill explained, "The crew is still in the early stages of planning, and it will take a while to approve the project. I also have to take into account the shooting of the second season of "Gossip Girl". How can this project not officially start preparations until next year. And Christine -Stewart is too young..."
Ronan asked, "How old is she this year?"
"I'm fifteen, but I'll be sixteen after a few months." Lindsay Bill reminded that "The contract signed before the age of sixteen will have a lot of restrictions on the crew, but after sixteen, things get better ."
Ronan thought for a while and said, "The actors are not busy with auditions. First determine the director and then form the crew. The actors can audition at the end."
Lindsay Bill said, "I think so too."
Ronan once again emphasized, "As for actors, there is only priority, no choice. Kristen Stewart has a good audition effect. The crew can wait for her for a few months. We can afford to wait. If the audition effect is average, we have others. The choice can be considered."
"I understand." Lindsay Bill is not a novice in Hollywood, knowing that there is never a shortage of actors in the circle, and said, "As for the actor, my assistant has contacted Robert Pattinson, and his acting experience is equally rich. He has appeared in "The Ring of the Nibelungen" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." In addition, Henry Cavill is also interested in this role."
Ronan smiled and asked, "Does the schedule of "Transformers" conflict with your project?"
Lindsay Bill said, "It can be adjusted."
Ronan waved his hand, "It's up to the audition to decide."
Henry Cavill has determined to play the role of Duke in "Transformers", but he did not expect to be interested in the role of vampire again.
The "Transformers" crew is in preparation, including Candice Swanepoel and Henry Cavill and many other roles, Michael Bella has been to the desert of Nevada to start the final training before filming.
The filming of this film, regardless of the male and female protagonists, has a lot of running scenes, requiring excellent physical fitness and sufficient flexibility.
Although difficult and dangerous action scenes will be completed by stunts, some ordinary action scenes also require actors to play in person.
If "Transformers" can achieve the expected results, Henry Cavill has passed the audition for the "Twilight" crew, the British actor may become so popular in the next few years.
Ronan will not take the initiative to interfere in the audition of the crew, because in his eyes, the vampire actor only needs to be on the line for appearance and acting skills, and it doesn't make a big difference who will act.
Also includes Isabella, who used to be Kristen Stewart.
There are really many outstanding actresses in Hollywood between 1985 and 1990, and there are more than a dozen of them who can only think of Ronan by their names.
As for people who think of people after seeing their names, that's more.
Once on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, according to the habit of the entertainment industry there, there are also sayings such as the four heavenly kings, the four big huadans and the four small huadans for Hollywood stars.
Afterwards, Ronan read the list of audition actors handed over by Lindsay Bill. Now Relativity Entertainment has a reputation. Any project with a slightly higher investment will attract many quasi-star actors to submit resumes.
For example, in the audition list of the heroine, there are even an auntie-level actor like Amy Adams.
In addition, Ronan also saw a familiar name-Brie Larson.
Fang Lian Aunt, looks like a perfect match with Nun Niu Wu Fang.
The actress who has just turned sixteen is also a child star. Although she is not too old, she has appeared in many movies.
There are detailed explanations on the information. Brie Larson is a child star of Disney and has been performing on the Disney Children's Channel since the age of nine.
Brie Larson estimated that she had forged an indissoluble bond with Disney early on, but if she or her parents took a little bit of attention, she would understand the importance of this relationship with Disney.
Perhaps this is also an important reason why Brie Larson once became a square-faced aunt.
…………
At night, a private club in the Santa Monica Valley was brightly lit, and a luxury car came from a distance and stopped in front of the newly decorated club house.
Dick Cook, the owner of the clubhouse, is waiting here.
When the Bentley car stopped, he personally stepped forward and pulled the door.
Seeing Robert Iger getting out of the car, Dick Cook shook hands with him "Welcome, Bob."
Robert Iger nodded slightly, "Good evening, Dick."
Dick Cook leads the way, "Go here."
Robert Iger followed him into the clubhouse, and walked along a secluded road towards an independent house.
"Is he here?" Robert Iger asked with a smile.
Dick Cook said, "In order to avoid the attention of the caring people, he has already arrived."
Before coming to the house, as the president of The Walt Disney Group, Dick Cook knocked gently on the door. Someone came to open the door and led them in.
Michael Eisner sat on a chair with a cup of coffee on the round table in front of him.
Seeing Robert Iger, he seemed to want to take the initiative to say hello, but his long-standing habit made him sit still on the chair.
"Good evening, Mr. Eisner." Robert Iger smiled like Disney's iconic Mickey Mouse.
Michael Eisner squeezed out a smile. "You are here, Bob." He pointed to the chair next to him. "Sit down and you are welcome."
"Thank you." Robert Iger didn't move that chair, but pulled the other one beside him and sat opposite Michael Eisner.
This seems to be polite and polite, but it faintly expresses the equal status of the two sides~EbookFREE.me~ makes Michael Eisner frowned slightly.
Michael Eisner turned his head to look at Dick Cook, probably used to being aloof, and said in a commanding tone, "Dick, go outside, don't let anyone disturb us."
Dick Cook did not change his face, and said with a smile, "You guys talk, I'll see how the supper is prepared."
After going out of the room, Dick Cook's face inevitably appeared in a haze.
"Long time no see, Bob." Michael Eisner looked at Robert Iger, who was opposite, and said, "I remember the last time we sat together for coffee, when you were at Disney, when you were just promoted."
Robert Iger smiled and said, "It happened five years ago?"
Michael Eisner said, "Think about it now, it seems that it happened yesterday."
Some things, with his face and status, it is not easy to say it happily.
