Chapter 278 The King of Rescue
"Tracey, you're here."
Just after coming out of the restaurant, Johnny Depp saw the agent and asked quickly: "You and that..."
He patted his head slightly dizzy after drinking, and finally remembered it: "That Ronan Anderson, yes! Just Ronan Anderson, how are you talking to him?"
Tracy Jacob casually placed the character script and setting drawing on the coffee table and said, "I'm very disappointed, not the good character I expected."
In fact, she was also confused by Johnny Depp's development route. More than ten years have passed, and she is still playing some non-mainstream alternative roles. Her acting career is getting narrower and narrower. If it weren't for Tim Burton's support, Johnny Depp's star path would be even more bumpy.
It’s not easy to transform. I originally thought it was an opportunity, but after all, "Spy Shadows" made Matt Damon a very successful transformation.
Who knew it was a pirate theme?
The hell is the pirate theme. There are actually people in Hollywood who want to make big investments. I don’t know if Ronan Anderson is too confident to lose his mind, or is it really crazy.
Johnny Depp asked casually: "What character?"
Tracy Jacob replied: "A pirate captain."
Johnny Depp had just picked up the character script and the setting draft, but when he heard that it was Captain Pirates, he lost interest in an instant.
He is just a little alternative and a bastard, but he is not a fool. He naturally knows what the pirate theme means in Hollywood now.
"Dep!" The scream of Vanessa Paradis suddenly came from the upstairs: "Come up quickly and look at Lily!"
Johnny Depp's face looked a little embarrassed.
Vanessa Paradis's voice was even louder: "Dep, you bastard, hurry up!"
Johnny Depp had no choice but to say to his agent: "Trecy, you can do whatever you want, I'll go upstairs first."
Tracy Jacob waved his hand quickly and let Depp be at will.
Johnny Depp hurriedly walked towards the stairs. Before going upstairs, he found that he was holding a character script in his hand and placed it on the shelf beside the stairs, and rushed upstairs.
Tracy Jacob looked at Johnny Depp's back and thoughtfully, as if after having a daughter, Johnny Depp finally matured a little and understood the responsibilities of men.
This is always a good thing.
Do you want to be a prodigal star for life?
As you get older, this path will soon become unavailable.
I hope Depp can really grow up.
Soon, Johnny Depp came down from the upper floor with a little girl in his arms, and Vanessa Paradis, with long hair and waist, followed him and greeted Tracy Jacob with a smile.
Seeing this family happy, pirate movies and pirate themes, all of them were thrown behind Tracy Jacob.
Ronan's first contact with Johnny Depp was not smooth. After Tracy Jacob took away the character script and the drawings, there was no news for a while. It seemed that all Hollywood was afraid of pirates and was like a tiger.
A pirate movie that defeated a medium-sized film company is still terrible even if there are other reasons.
Since "Cutting the Throat Island", Hollywood has never invested in a slightly larger pirate-themed movie, which can also be explained.
Ronan is mentally prepared for this and knows that Shahai Entertainment is not as good as Disney Pictures, and his appeal in the production field is not as good as Jerry Brookheimer. It is normal for him to encounter some difficulties in both funds and personnel.
Such a top-notch production can not be done in a short time.
Shahai Entertainment also had preliminary contact with Gore Vibinsky. The news came not very good. It was not that Gore Vibinsky had doubts about the pirate theme, but that Gore Vibinsky had just signed a director contract with DreamWorks Films and was preparing to film the American version of the famous island horror film "Midnight Bell".
Ronan briefly inquired about the situation of this film. The director was Gore Vibinsky, and the heroine was Naomi Watts, who was invested and filmed by DreamWaters.
This remake of horror film will not be finished until February and March next year at the earliest. According to the director contract with DreamWorks Films, Gore Vibinski cannot talk about the new directorial work before this.
In other words, it is impossible for Gore Vipensky to transfer to Pirates of the Caribbean before March next year.
Ronan asked for continued contact with Gore Vibinski and his agent, while also considering alternative candidates.
Even Johnny Depp should consider necessary backup candidates.
As a producer, it is impossible to hang yourself in a tree, even if that person lives as Captain Jack Sparrow.
This kind of crazy character, Jin Carrey may be a backup candidate.
In contrast, the contact with Miss A Kayla Knightley was very smooth. Kate Knightley is filming a film called "Playing Football Like Beckham", where she plays a supporting actress. She can transfer to a new crew at any time as long as the crew needs it.
The little blacksmith said that he had not yet contacted him. Ronan was thinking about whether he would change to a powerful actor of Kong Wu, and that he would be more funny and talented when paired with Depp.
How about Guo Da-Stansen in the prosperous era?
In terms of appearance, it is the level of beauty in the prosperous era, and a London accent is also very standard.
In terms of muscles and figure, it is even more of an existence that kills the elf prince in seconds.
Also, it seems that Dwayne Johnson is also good, and his muscles are obviously more in line with the Blacksmith's setting.
But if it were Dwayne Johnson, it would be too embarrassing for Miss A, Kayla Knightley. After all, if the breasts are not as big as men's votes, it doesn't seem to be very coordinated.
This candidate is not very good.
Ronan has been thinking about it over and over again, and decided to look at the situation. The project has just been put on the agenda and these tasks are in a hurry.
In contrast, the script must be further improved.
Currently, there are two scripts written by the screenwriter department of Shahai Entertainment, one is "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the other is "Hurricane Rescue".
The latter will also be on the agenda in the second half of the year.
Finding a suitable action film director is also a job that Ronan attaches great importance to.
I had a proper disclosure to Caa. Caa recommended Joseph McGinty Nicht, the director of "Pili Family Babies", but Ronan directly refused after meeting him. There were irreparable huge differences in action design.
Joseph McKinty Nicht seems to have not woken up from the success of "Charlie's Angels", thinking that the best action design in North America today is "Charlie's Angels" style.
However, Ronan has no interest in this kind of casual dance and kung fu. What a joke to make the agent's father dance?
Dance will soon exit the mainstream stage of Hollywood movies.
Ronan brainstormed and asked everyone in the company to recommend a few candidates they think are suitable for and then choose them.
In Hollywood, a place where film talents gather in the world, you can always find the right director.
This is also the advantage of Hollywood, which attracts film talents from all over the world to develop. As long as there are suitable projects and funds, you don’t have to worry about not being able to attract the crew.
And it can ensure that the crew members are qualified talents.
After the first draft of the script for "Hurricane Rescue" was released, Ronan also had preliminary contact with Liam Neeson's agent. Liam Neeson had just finished filming "Star Wars Prequel 2: The Clones' Attack". There is no other work to do at present. He is still interested in playing a secret agent's father. The only condition is that he has to pay enough.
This is also a good news among a series of unsuccessful news.
Liam Neeson's future is very valuable and is a typical example of the older you get, the more popular it becomes. This is also the advantage of many Hollywood male stars.
Hollywood actresses often decline rapidly after they are thirty-five, and their status and appeal are greatly reduced, but there are quite a lot of male stars who are older and better.
Ronan is also considering whether he can successfully cooperate, will he rely on Liam Neeson to shoot a series of rescue films?
Let Liam Neeson rescue the audience on the screen until they want to vomit.
Hurricane rescue, dark night rescue, train rescue, plane rescue, cemetery rescue, army rescue...
There are really many rescues that can be done.
If it really doesn't work, you can also rescue Batman.
Uvi Ball can become the king of bad movies, and Liam Neeson can completely achieve the king of rescue.
Finally, friends who must like Liam Neeson's movies know that the evil forces in reality can no longer threaten Liam Neeson.
Whether it is an international underworld organization, a criminal group with an official background, a vicious mafia or a crazy terrorist, they have been killed by Liam Neeson one by one.
There are only places where humans cannot reach, and there are no people that Uncle Liam cannot save.
Ronan still remembers that whenever he saw Liam Neeson's face in his previous life, he felt very down-to-earth and secure. Even the wrinkles on the uncle's face felt sexy and handsome.
Perhaps, this is why Liam Neeson can continue to rescue.
While Ronan was busy with these two projects, "Spy Shadows" continued to be released in North America. The situation of a great start in North America continued to this day, and the box office in North America finally exceeded 150 million US dollars, reaching 151.26 million US dollars.
At the same time, the number of films being screened overseas has increased to 75 countries and regions, with a cumulative overseas box office of US$95.26 million and a global box office of nearly US$250 million.
According to the current trend, there is basically no problem with the global box office exceeding US$300 million.
The successive success of the films released by Embassy Pictures also increased the theater's confidence in "The Deadly Behind".
A week before the release, all copies of "The Deadly Behind" were put into place, with 2,355 painting theaters in North America, and the theaters are very confident about this traditional plasma horror film.
On July 20, 2001, "The Deadly Bend" held a grand premiere at the Chiefs Stone Theater in Hollywood.
