Rebirth In Hollywood

Things were completely different from what Ryan had imagined. Natalie was just accompanying her friends, and it was Gal Gadot who was going to the set.

The three of them said as they walked towards Studio 133.

"Remember what I mentioned about the party?"

Gael Gadot has a cheerful personality and said about the purpose of coming here, "My agent won an audition opportunity for me, this time, but he temporarily left California for some reasons, and I only have Nate as a friend here. , I had to ask her to come with me."

"Can you guess what movie it is?" Natalie laughed, holding Ryan.

"What movie?" Ryan frowned, recalling Warner Bros.' recent investment.

According to the time, it should not be the one where Nat turned into a bald girl. Although the copyright of "V for Vendetta" belongs to the comics, the last time I saw the Wachowski brothers, I didn't hear them mentioning the adaptation. matter.

I heard that "Troy" and "Alexander the Great" have already been launched, and they must be excluded.

In this case, there are not many answers left.

""Superman Returns"?" Ryan asked, shaking his head first. The director of this film is still shooting "X-Men" for Surprise. "Won't it be "Wonder Woman"?"

"That's right." Natalie ended her whisper with Gail Gadot next to her and said, "But there is no reward."

Ryan's eyes couldn't help but go over Natalie and landed on the Jewish girl on the other side, who was too different from Princess Diana in the comics.

The most typical is the chest. Although the other party is not an airport, it is not too different. Although the two long straight legs are replaced by Wonder Woman's shirt, it will definitely attract countless audiences, but it is too slender...

There are also arms. Judging from the movement of the upper arm up and down, there are basically no muscles.

Hmm... The long hair that is almost black and the heroic spirit on the delicate face are some advantages.

The issue is. Can North American audiences really accept a Princess Diana who isn't a big butt?

Forget it, it's just an audition, she may not be able to get this role.

Ryan shook his head, this is Warner's choice, he is too lazy to care about these things.

"Ryan,

How come you have time to come? "

As soon as he walked to the studio of Warner Bros., Ryan met an acquaintance, Grant Hill strode over, shook hands with him, and said with a smile. "I also had an idea, but it was preempted."

"You're too slow." Ryan knew that this was just a joke and asked casually, "Are you the producer of "Wonder Woman"?"

"That's right."

He nodded, greeted Natalie and Gal Gadot, and made a please gesture, "Let's talk inside."

Although the boss of Disney is here, there are many cooperations between the two parties, and this kind of film has nothing to keep secret from the insiders. Several people walked through the studio where the scene was being set up and entered the temporary office area of ​​the crew.

Several actresses who auditioned were waiting here, and Ryan saw a few familiar faces but said nothing. Just walked into an office.

Unexpectedly, the director is also an acquaintance, "Batman" director Tim Burton.

The two sides exchanged a few words at random, and the personality director went out to prepare for the audition. This is a tedious job. Although there are not many actors who come to audition, they are all selected after the first round. Likely to last into the evening.

"thanks."

Ryan took the coffee handed over by his assistant and looked at the temporary office at random. Just behind Natalie and Gal Gadot were sitting, there were several huge posters hanging, which seemed to be the concept of Princess Diana. design diagram.

Probably interested in seeing Ryan, Grant Hill said briefly, "We have made some changes to the original comic image, especially Princess Diana's battle suit, except for her crown. , bracelets and ropes, this armor was added on purpose."

The Wonder Woman in the concept design is not wearing a star-striped suit, but a battle armor and boots similar to the ancient Greek gods.

"Are you going to go international?" Ryan roughly understood Warner's intentions.

"The American imprint of Wonder Woman in the comics is too deep." Grant Hill sighed, "Now overseas markets are more profitable than North America."

This is also an inevitable choice for the market. Ryan understands this. If the timing is not right, "Captain America" ​​may not be much better than the previous life.

"Miss Gado, you can go to the audition..."

A staff member knocked on the door and walked in. Gal Gadot waved to several people and walked out generously.

"Your friend?"

When there were no outsiders, Grant Hill asked, "Well... I remember her doing well in the first audition."

"My friend." Natalie smiled at him.

Ryan didn't say much, even if he didn't speak, just appearing here would add a lot to Natalie's friend.

"Ryan, you can do whatever you want."

Grant Hill looked at the time, and Ryan nodded and made a gesture of courtesy. The other party then left the office and should be hosting the audition.

"They even invited me," Natalie said, holding her coffee cup.

"Don't you think this is very sexy?" Ryan pointed to the poster behind her relying on CG design, "Honey, this is one of the three giants of justice."

"Not interested in."

Natalie didn't mean to look back at all. Seeing that Ryan was about to pick up the coffee cup, she quickly took it and said, "It's cold."

She got up and poured the cold coffee into the trash can, picked up the coffee pot on the table, refilled Ryan, handed it over, and continued the topic just now, "Didn't you prepare a series for me? , why choose Warner's work?"

"Yeah, if you want, my dear, I am surprised that there are a lot of superheroes for you to choose from." Ryan sipped his coffee. "Nate, if you have time, find a bow and arrow coach."

"Well, Pat is contacting me." She nodded vigorously.

After the "Star Wars" trilogy, Natalie didn't want to take a commercial, but the role was almost designed by Ryan specifically for her, and not the kind of embellished heroine, this series is completely revolving around She will build, she will be the absolute protagonist, and all other characters are supporting roles.

To a certain extent, this is a female film with femininity, which is also where Natalie is more excited.

Since "The Hunger Games" was published, it has borrowed Ryan's name and the publisher's vigorous promotion, and has been sought after by teenagers. Although it is far from being as crazy as "Harry Potter", it has successively won the best-selling books in North America. The throne of the chart champion has become one of the most popular commercial novels in the past two years.

Many studios have taken a fancy to this series of novels that are only the beginning, but they can only stare helplessly. Everyone knows that Ryan owns half of the copyright of the novel and signed an agreement with Susan Collins. Film rights are not transferred.

However, the novel will not be adapted into a film anytime soon.

At present, in addition to a few continuing series, Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox have put the film adaptation of "The Lion, the Witch and the Magical Wardrobe" on the agenda. Although this will still be a big production, Ryan has specifically warned However, we must pay attention to control costs.

The production cost of the movie is not as terrible as the previous life’s $180 million. The temporary budget is only $100 million, and the two companies will follow up as appropriate.

Similarly, Time Warner will not let go of the magic series. Its New Line Cinema has obtained the copyright of "The Golden Compass" and is preparing to create a super magic epic series comparable to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter".

New Line Pictures was acquired by Warner as early as 1993, and it is still ambitious without the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

The only thing that makes Ryan strange is that New Line Cinema chose Chris Weitz as the director for this magical series, and although his American Pie series for Jenkins had a good response, it was standard shit. ass director...

It took about an hour or so before Gail Gado returned to the office.

"How's the audition going?"

When several people left and walked out of the studio, Natalie asked with concern, "When will there be an accurate answer?"

"next week."

Gael Gadot took Natalie's arm and said happily, "Great! The director and producer are very satisfied with me."

She looked at Ryan, "Do you have time? I'll treat you tonight!"

After seeing Ryan nod, Natalie said, "Okay, where are you going to treat?"

"Mr. Zhou's restaurant opened in North Hollywood." Gail Gadot saw that Ryan had stopped, and quickly stopped, and said in a low voice, "Let's go there and eat Chinese food."

Nodding, Natalie looked this way.

Ryan met an acquaintance, and since the other party took the initiative to extend his hand, he had to stop and say hello.

"Dallas, are you here for the audition too?" The other party came out of Warner's studio.

"No." Bryce Howard shook his head. "I came with my friend. She was in the audition, and I came out for a walk."

She laughed suddenly, "Actually, I just auditioned for Spider-Man last month and got a big role."

"Oh, which character?" Ryan asked with interest.

"Gwen Stacy."

Her phone rang, she made an apologetic gesture to this side, and when Ryan nodded, she walked away and answered the phone.

Ryan walked over to Natalie again, summoned an electric car, and when the three sat on, he said, "That's Lang Howard's daughter."

"Well, I've seen it before." Natalie looked at the sun moving westward as she passed a few studio breaks, "I remember she was in 'Apollo 13' and 'How the Greenwich Stealed' Go Christmas"."

"I'm about to play Peter Parker's first girlfriend," Ryan said.

"Gwen Stacy?" (To be continued..) ()
