In Burbank's Relativity Entertainment's office, Ronan met Kate Beckinsale who made a special visit. This British Rose may have just played Selena's relationship. She looks heroic and handsome in a lady's suit, with a kind of clean and neat color, and a cold and charming licking blood from the blade.

"Sit as you like." Ronan signaled the sofa in the office and asked, "Kate, are you asking me for something?"

Kate Beckinsale found a single sofa and sat down, looked at Ronan sitting next to him, and said, "I want to say thank you to you, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

After the premiere of "Legend of the Night", although the film was mixed, Selena, a female action character, won applause.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice. I just realized now that the positioning of the action actress is very suitable for me."

Ronan waved his hand: "You are so polite, Kate." Although he is a producer who has an absolute advantage in facing actors, the relationship between people does not only depend on status, so it is easy to win favor with what he said: "The main reason is that you are too outstanding and perform very well, and you have made full use of your own advantages."

Everyone is willing to listen to good words, Kate Beckinsale is no exception, and his smile immediately shows a lot of sincerity: "Mr. Anderson, I would like to ask, will there be a sequel to this film?"

Since the film will be released in North America from tomorrow, there is currently no box office data, but Ronan has received feedback from all aspects and is full of confidence in the film.

"The sequel will be on the agenda soon," Ronan said directly: "The screenwriter department of Shahai Entertainment has completed the script and is expected to be launched in early planning next month."

He thought about it and said, "Kate, I will have someone send you a specific plan next week."

Kate Beckinsale signed a trilogy contract at that time, and he must fulfill the contract. He immediately said: "No problem, I will maintain fitness and basic movement training."

Ronan nodded: "Kate, my personal advice, you should find a professional to develop a long-term fitness and movement training plan for you, and you have unlimited potential in the field of movement."

It seems that there will be many female action movies in the future, and Kate Beckinsale may not be a good choice.

"Thank you." Kate Beckinsale thought of the invitation he just received, and it seemed that the benefits of taking the action route had begun to appear: "I'm already contacting experts in this area."

Ronan knew that Kate Beckinsale was a bit unworthy of the British Rose in Hollywood in her previous life, and she had no acting skills and was still famous. She was different from Miss A, Kayla Knightley. However, the filming of so many films in "Legend of the Night" shows that her action actress style can still be accepted by many movie fans. If she can obtain more resources on this road, she might bring more benefits to the partners.

As a producer, Ronan certainly did not want to praise Kate Beckinsale, these are based on future profit considerations.

But he had just had the idea of ​​squeezing Kate Beckinsale's value for a long time, and Kate Beckinsale threw in an almost explosive news.

"Mr. Anderson, I'm here this time, and there's one more thing," said Kate Beckinsale. "I received an invitation to say hello to you in advance and coordinate the schedule of "Legend of Night 2."

Ronan didn't care too much: "Yes, "Legend of Night 2" will be filmed this year, and it will definitely be filmed in the second half of the year. Will another video be filmed this year?"

Kate Beckinsale said the truth: "It's just an invitation for the time being. It was an invitation sent to me by Director Stephen Somos himself, and there was also a procedural audition before the formal signing of the contract. It is estimated that the filming will not start next year, so that the schedule will not conflict."

But Ronan noticed the director's name and asked: "Is Kate the director Stephen Somos who directed two "Mummys"?"

"Yes." Kate Beckinsale smiled at Ronan and said sincerely: "I can get this invitation, and I want to thank you. Director Stephen Somos watched the trailer for "The Legend of the Night" and watched several action scenes in the trailer, and then he decided to invite me to play another female role in the action type."

Ronan instantly thought of a film. After all, there is also news about Universal Pictures about monster movies in the circle. He asked tentatively: "Is it the project "Van Helsing"?"

Kate Beckinsale first admitted: "Yes." Then he asked: "Have you heard of this project?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "Universal Pictures is raising funds, and it is said that they intend to push their monsters to the big screen again."

The success of the "Mummy" series has made Universal Pictures very confident.

Kate Beckinsale thought that Ronan suggested that she take the action route, and couldn't help but tentatively say: "The heroine in this project is also an action character. Can it continue my style?"

The top production with an investment of $160 million is heart-warming just by hearing it.

Ronan did not expect that the crew of "Van Helsing" would find Kate Beckinsale again, which conflicted with his long-term plan to extract Kate Beckinsale's value.

If Van Helsing was like his previous life, Kate Beckinsale's value would undoubtedly plummet, and he could only live in the sequel to "Legend of the Night". If he starred in other films, the chance of failure would increase exponentially.

Many times, movie fans hate a movie simply because they hate one of the actors.

Consumers have the right to make choices willful.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Kate, I've heard people talk about the project "Van Helsing" in detail. Van Helsing is the absolute protagonist. Your character should be a supporting actress. If the news I got is correct, it should be the traditional heroine who needs to be saved by the male protagonist, rather than a powerful type like Selena."

Kate Beckinsale could hear the hidden meaning of Ronan's words, frowned slightly, as if thinking.

When he reached this point, Ronan said at one point: "Selina is the absolute protagonist, everything revolves around you. Kate, my personal opinion is that if your energy can be focused on the "Legend of the Night" series to lay your action style, it will be more beneficial to future development."

"Thank you for your advice." Kate Beckinsale smiled: "I will definitely think seriously when I go back."

That being said, but Kate Beckinsale obviously had his own considerations.

At this time, she thought of her British colleague Rachel Weisz, who is also a monster movie of Universal Pictures, and who seems to be the heroine but is actually the supporting actress. The director is also Stephen Somos. Rachel Weisz became a hit through the "Mummy" series and became the most famous British rose in Hollywood.

Kate Beckinsale looks at his current position, which is very similar to Rachel Weisz, who took on the "Mummy" series.

Besides, this is the heroine of the top Hollywood production.

It was not difficult for Ronan to see what Kate Beckinsale thoughts, so he could only shake his head secretly and say, "Kate, go back and think about it carefully."

Kate Beckinsale offered his farewell at the right time and left the Relativity Entertainment.

Out of courtesy, Ronan sent her out of the company, but he didn't say anything more. After all, he was neither Kate Beckinsale's agent nor her manager, so he had no position to say more.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess what Kate Beckinsale thinks, and it is a good opportunity for any actress.

Top Hollywood productions, Universal Pictures production and distribution, treatment of heroines, etc.

In particular, Stephen Somos, as the director, undoubtedly added a solid insurance to the film.

Two Universal Monster Movies directed by Stephen Somos have been successful and even become popular all over the world. The possibility of the same subject is extremely small.

No matter from which perspective, the chances of "Van Helsing" are quite high.

But the movie is so unpredictable, and the movie that is consistently optimistic can also fail.

Considering that Kate Beckinsale is very likely to choose the invitation of the crew of "Van Helsing", Ronan made a decision immediately. As long as the box office of "Legend of the Night" can meet expectations in the first weekend, the sequel will be quickly put on the agenda, and will strive to be officially prepared in the first half of the year. The filming will be completed within the year, and a suitable schedule will be released in the first half of next year.

"Van Helsing" is a top Hollywood production. Based on Ronan's memory and Hollywood's usual production model, it takes one year to prepare, and one year to shoot and post-production. This film will be released in the second half of 2003 or 2004 at the earliest.

Ronan calculated the time. The third part of "Legend of the Night" would be best released before "Van Helsing", which would minimize the negative impact of possible failure of "Van Helsing".

After the trilogy, this series can be temporarily left for a while.

As for Kate Beckinsale, if this British rose and her agent really want to choose "Van Helsing", no one can stop him.

Kate Beckinsale just signed a trilogy contract with Shahai Entertainment, but it was not a contract to sell the body.

Under the current Hollywood model, the binding force of production companies on actors is actually very limited.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ronan immediately called Shahai Entertainment to speed up the planning process of the sequel to "Legend of the Night".

The subsequent box office data also proves that "Legend of the Night" can completely withdraw from the sequel movie.

The film won $10.22 million on the first day of its release in 2,950 theaters in North America, similar to the previous commercially successful "Resident Evil".

The total investment amounts of the two films produced by Shahai Entertainment are not much different, and the income seems to be in line with each other.

After the first day of its full release, various reputations of "Legend of the Night" were also released.
