The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 82: Bullet rhythm
In the office, Ronan sat quietly on the sofa, waiting patiently for Paul Greengrass to flip through the script of the full version of "Ace Agent".
This British director is worth the wait, because he knows that the other party is capable.
Speaking of Paul Greengrass, maybe not many people know it, but when it comes to the several films he directed, I think many fans have seen it.
Ronan once did some superficial research on Paul Greengrass' shooting methods and editing style, and even watched all his films from "The Flyer" to "The Bournemouth 5".
Unfortunately, as a victim of special 3D, Ronan watched "The Bournemouth 5" and vomited sadly.
After a brief exchange, Paul Greengrass made a film in the 1980s and then moved to the TV drama industry. Now he has just returned to the film industry from the TV industry and has only shot two films so far. The Berlin Golden Bear’s "Bloody Sunday" is still missing.
After Paul Greengrass filmed "Flying", he didn't find a chance in Hollywood, and then returned to the UK. With his second film "Bloody Sunday" he won the Berlin Golden Bear, and once again entered Hollywood, and finally won The directorship of the last two films of "The Bourne".
Paul Greengrass reads the script while conceiving pictures that fit his own style in his mind. Such a high-investment action movie is a rare good opportunity, but the setting of the film's hero is like a joke.
Although he has never set foot in commercial films, he also knows that Arabs are a bit outrageous as absolute protagonists.
Say no directly? I was reluctant to come to Hollywood from the UK just to make the action movie I wanted to make.
is also only action movies, which is the best carrier of the style he wants to try.
Paul Greengrass closed the script, went through the plot in his heart, and asked: "Mr. Anderson, what kind of action movie do you want to make?"
If it is too different from the style he envisioned, then there is no need to consider it.
Some directors made films with strong personal style. Ronan knew very well that Paul Greengrass happened to be one of them.
Directors like this have extremely high demands on style.
It is estimated that Paul Greengrass once came to Hollywood and went back again. It was also related to the fact that he did not meet his ideal film.
His set is undoubtedly a bit ahead of the mainstream commercial action movies in Hollywood.
Ronan is willing to try, because he knows the dazzling pace of action style, there is a real market.
In fact, the warm-hearted action movies are outdated in the market. Michael Mann’s "Wire of Fire" is not a classic. Even the robbers are used to learn to rob the bank in the shootout, but the slow pace has led to When the film was released, it was far from reaching the expected market popularity.
The rhythm of the action movie must be fast. On the basis of being fast, it can also make people have an eye-catching style, which is closer to success.
For example, Michael Bay’s action movies are fast-paced and can’t wait to fly.
Ronan slowly said: "I wrote this script. The film I envisioned has a simple and clear narrative, a clean director, a fast pace, and a sharp action scene... How to say, the action scene should be tried. An ultra-short shot editing that is more powerful than Michael Bay."
Paul Greengrass was silent, but he was clearly thinking.
Ronan is just enough. Although the director is relatively difficult to find, it doesn't have to be someone.
Paul Greengrass suddenly said: "Hollywood blockbuster movies have always been high-cost, highly industrialized production models, which emphasize universality and reject personalization. But the inherent action film mode always makes people bored. They love the new and dislike the old."
Ronan nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement: "It makes sense."
Pure Hollywood action movies will soon die.
Just now Ronan’s words about the movie's vision have been recognized by Paul Greengrass. This ideological recognition also aroused his interest in this director position.
But there are some things, he thinks it's best to tell them in advance, so as not to make an unpleasant noise in the back and end up with nothing.
Paul Greengrass said again: "I envisioned a style, handheld photography, fragment editing, bullet-like fast pace."
He further said: "Another point, today's action shots always have various defects, especially actors and action design. Fragmented sharp editing can not only make up for the shortcomings of the actors' actions, but also cover up the shortcomings in the action design and create The fierce and sharp action style brings huge visual impact to the audience."
Ronan is very clear about what kind of style this is. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "This is not very different from what I imagined. I can accept that you are suitable for this director position."
"You can talk to my agent for a contract." Paul Greengrass is as clean as his movie editing.
Ronan didn't talk nonsense, stood up and shook hands with him: "Happy cooperation."
Send off Paul Greengrass, Ronan and Dean agreed to talk about Paul Greengrass's director contract for another day.
went back to the office and called George Clint.
"George, you are going to check the copyright of a novel." Ronan ordered: "Who owns the copyright of Robert Ludren's "Bourne's Identity"."
If you remember correctly, the original author of the film and television copyright of this novel has long been sold.
George replied on the phone: "Okay, I will go now."
Ronan put down the phone. In fact, after coming here, he inquired about the copyrights of many adapted films, just like the "Lord of the Rings" series, and the film copyrights of many novels and even well-known documentary works, especially those published earlier works. , The copyright was sold long before the film was made.
Even, many of them have copyrights scattered in the hands of several people or companies.
Ronan suppressed the restlessness in his heart, knowing that he should not be anxious. The company has just entered the right track.
The next day, Ronan and Dean negotiated on Paul Greengrass's directorship contract. The two sides talked for a whole day and reached an agreement fairly smoothly.
The director Paul Greengrass has a salary of 500,000 US dollars and has officially entered the "Ace Agent" crew since signing the contract. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also serves as a producer, participating in preparation, shooting and post-production throughout the process, and has Right to edit suggestions.
The final editing rights are still in Ronan's hands.
When the director was selected, the preparation for "Ace Agent" accelerated. Due to the two projects and the handling of the crew's accounts, Ronan asked George Clint to be the production manager of this project.
Of course, like the "Human Removal Project", Ronan and others can receive the corresponding crew positions in addition to the company's expenses and the crew accounts.
Hollywood’s good industry practices must always be followed.
Paul Greengrass is a very thoughtful director. He quickly recommended the action director to Ronan. After Ronan was interviewed and determined that he was suitable, the action director joined the crew and began to design action routines and training based on Paul Greengrass' action ideas. Actor Muhammad.
A super Arabian agent, wearing a white robe, headscarf, flying over the wall, easy to kill a hundred people...
This is just Ronan’s unreliable idea. Paul Greengrass is a reliable director. The male protagonist of the preliminary design, of course, is not an Arab costume that can be the center of the world wherever he goes, but he is skilled and has black technology. A typical agent of the body.
Ronan appropriately delegated many of the powers of the crew to George Clint and Paul Greengrass. For such a typical Hollywood model and atypical Hollywood protagonist film, he also hoped that Paul Greengrass could make it. Better.
"Reaper is Coming" and "Ace Agent" began to recruit actors on a large scale, and Ronan is also going to go to the Saint Denis Film Festival for a round.
Just in time, Tony Koch also came to Los Angeles to investigate Hollywood, Ronan simply took him along.
