Rebirth In Hollywood

"And Nicole."

Filming was about to resume in the living room. When Ryan and the others walked out of the villa, Gwyneth asked Nicole, "Can you be *pool's godmother?"

"Do we have a choice?" Ryan spread his hands at her deliberately, "It seems that I have another goddaughter."

This kind of thing is very common in North America, and even more common in Hollywood. After all, the relationship between the two parties is here, and Ryan and Nicole have no intention of rejecting it, not to mention Nicole has always liked children very much.

Miss Apple, who is just over a year old, certainly doesn't have the right to choose, but she won't regret it when she grows up.

Just like Gwyneth to the old Paltrow who passed away, and Drew Barrymore to the entire Barrymore family, many people from acting families will mostly embark on the same or similar path as their parents, whether it is Network or opportunity, they all have an innate advantage.

Drew Barrymore's famous works came from her godfather, and Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in Spielberg's movies early. Although they seem to have a lot less relationship now, the real When it comes to key moments such as choosing important roles or voting for the Oscars, they must be naturally the same camp.

All of these are inherent advantages of actors from aristocratic families. If such people have powerful godfathers like Ryan and godmothers like Nicole, although they may not develop very smoothly in the future, there are definitely few people who dare to use the rules. other means to treat her.

Of course, as long as the conditions are not too bad, it is not difficult to become famous in the future.

Ryan and Nicole's other goddaughter, Miss Lily Mo Sheen, has been making cameo appearances in Disney's shows or movies that require children's characters since two years ago.

At noon, Ryan and Nicole had lunch with Gwyneth Paltrow. At the dinner table, I heard her talk about a lot of things in work and life. The two of them were also her, except for Drew Barrymore. One of the most familiar friends, many of the topics are from the troubles in life.

Love has a shelf life, and after the initial passion, quite a few problems will emerge.

The marriage between Gwyneth and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is envied by many people. In fact, there are many problems. Martin's career is basically in the UK, and he lives in London for a long time, while Gwyneth's career is mostly In Hollywood, the settlement is New York, and the long distance can be called the test and torture of the relationship between the two parties.

And Gwyneth Paltrow didn't mention it, but Ryan and Nicole knew it.

Perhaps because of the relationship that has been well developed and developed since childhood,

Gwyneth has suffered from a serious princess disease since she was a girl.

Therefore, quite a lot of media have looked down on her marriage.

After lunch, Ryan and Nicole left Malibu, and on the way to Burbank, Nicole suddenly said, "I'm a little worried about Alison."

"Worried about her?" Ryan was puzzled, so he had to say, "Although she is running the announcement, the novelty has not disappeared, and there will be no problems in the short term."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Nicole shook her head. "Don't you think Alison is similar to Gwyneth in some ways?"

Ryan immediately understood what Nicole meant. Speaking of which, their sister, although smart and sensible, has the common problem of most rich girls, and in terms of the flexibility of her head and the cleverness of her methods, she can outshine Gwyneth ?Paltrow Three Streets.

"this is the key of the problem."

Seeming to understand what Ryan was thinking, Nicole said worriedly, "Girls like this are generally not popular with the opposite sex, Alison has never dated anyone, and even teased a few daredevils with Christine. Chasing her boy, I'm so worried..."

"Okay, dear." Ryan held Nicole's hand firmly, "You think too much, high IQ doesn't mean low EQ."

"I hope so."

In the past life, Taylor's emotional intelligence seemed to have some problems, but the living environment and personality in this life have changed, and those messy things will definitely not happen again.

Entering Burbank, the car did not go to the Disney Building, but went directly to Warner Studios. Ryan and Nicole changed to a battery car and drove slowly towards Studio No. 32.

The films filmed here have little to do with Ryan and Disney. Although many big Hollywood manufacturers announced their participation in the Iranian attack, 90% of the funds actually came from Nicole's Kidman studio. The investment in the film itself is not very high.

Walking into the studio, the most striking is undoubtedly the green screen everywhere, as well as dozens of red pants standing on the green screen. In order to shoot this film, including Gerard Butler and Michael Fassbender in the The main actors in the show have undergone half a year of fitness training, and have developed quite exaggerated muscles. Coupled with the modification of special effects, this group of sturdy men is enough to attract a lot of audiences.

The appearance of Xerxes I on the other side is quite ugly, especially in the eyes of a contrasting person like Ryan, it is much uglier and more evil than in the previous life film, this is also Hollywood's revenge against Iran, who made the Persians be The ancestors of most Iranians today.

As for whether the Iranians will protest after the film is released, Ryan doesn't mind another large-scale smear campaign. Anyway, in the eyes of most Westerners, Iran is a veritable source of evil in the world.

This is a film led by Nicole. Although the producer's name is listed, Ryan has no intention of pointing fingers. In the spare time of the crew, he basically listens to Nicole and director Zach Snyder to exchange opinions.

"Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" does not have any exterior shots. All the pictures will be completed in front of the green screen in the studio, and the background will be added through post-production and replacement. Most of the actors' action scenes are showing their muscles. It's not even as difficult as The Hunger Games.

After all, this film is more about post-production.

"The production cost of the film was $65 million."

Sitting on a chair in the lounge area, Nicole said to Ryan with a coffee cup, "This is my highest-invested movie. If it wasn't for the help of the Iranians, I'm afraid it would have cost about the same amount of publicity."

"So, we need such an opponent." Ryan laughed.

In any case, the public opinion attack of the Iranians has done a good job of propaganda for "Three Hundred Spartans", and after the film was established, it has also maintained a certain degree of topic through various propaganda methods, and has never left. public view.

If there are more conflicts or conflicts between the federal government and Iran when it is released next year, it will undoubtedly increase the propaganda and boohoo. At that time, it will not be difficult to attract audiences to the theater under the banner of resisting the evil Persians.

These propaganda methods are used by Hollywood. As long as they can generate enough profits, Hollywood does not mind portraying the Iranians as absurd and evil images like Xerxes I.

Compared with other production and distribution companies, Disney's bottom line in terms of publicity is a little higher because the main recipient group is the relationship between teenagers. However, after so many years of operation, Disney has summarized the promotion for teenagers Many proven methods have created favorable conditions for Disney's movies to sell well.

Among the four major productions released in the summer, "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" only has double-digit theaters left, and the North American box office should eventually stay at around $285 million; the theaters of "Mrs. Smith" There is not much left. The box office of more than 197 million US dollars has almost reached its limit. If Brad Pitt does not make a move, the North American box office will definitely not exceed 200 million US dollars.

Similarly, after the North American box office of "The Hunger Games" struggled to pass the $430 million mark, the market potential was completely exhausted, and it was only a matter of time before it went down.

The only thing that can still make a difference in theaters is "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Souls". After the film received a North American box office of 350 million US dollars, the weekly box office dropped to seven figures, and the next step will depend on time. accumulated.

According to the development trend of overseas box office, the global box office of "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" and "Mrs. and Mrs. Smith" will eventually be around US$550 million and US$400 million respectively. It is impossible to recover the cost through the box office. It is not difficult to achieve profitability of peripheral products, but the full copyright operation in the later period will directly affect the profit figure.

Large-scale media groups can operate through the entire industry chain, which has huge advantages. Disney is a media group with film and television and related industries as its core business, and this advantage is even greater.

According to estimates from the relevant departments of Disney, the two films can each bring at least close to 100 million US dollars in net profits within two years through the later copyright.

The global box office of "The Hunger Games" barely exceeded 600 million US dollars. The current growth rate is very slow. Even Ryan has no confidence in whether it can break through 700 million US dollars in the end. Just profit.

In addition to the popular novels and Mockingjay brooches, Disney also gave the comics copyright to Marvel Comics. The latest "Hunger Games" comics also went on sale in mid-July. Although the sales are not very good, they are not special either. Poor, it can always bring six-figure profits.

As for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Souls", although it is difficult to surpass "The Hunger Games" in North America, it completely crushed the latter in overseas markets. In less than 30 days of its release, it has already received more than 700 million US dollars. Global box office, if nothing else, this will be the first film to cross the $1 billion mark globally this year.

Entering August, the North American market gradually cooled, but Disney launched another big production at the beginning of the month as usual.
