Best of Hollywood Chapter 158

Seeking starting point subscription, asking for collection, asking for monthly pass

The time for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is getting closer and closer, and 20th Century Fox finally gave a clear message.

"Tom Rothman seems to have the support of the board of directors and decided to invest in the "Terminator 3" project."

In Orion Films, Jon Fertimer brought good news, with a hint of excitement on his face, "Many senior executives at 20th Century Fox believe that "Terminator 3" will be a classic film. "

"Of course, the premise is that the film can meet the requirements you mentioned, such as Xiangjiang's action guidance team and bullet time."

"As long as you can afford the price, it's not difficult to invite a Xiangjiang action guidance team. As for the bullet time?" Ryan said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm afraid it will take a little time."

"With the current technical equipment, it is difficult to make the ideal bullet time."

At least, it was much more difficult than he expected. As a last resort, Monica Bellucci had to put on that tight leather jacket again yesterday.

Different from the last time, this time Digital Domain and Industrial Light & Magic used a brand new motion capture technology.

Ryan couldn't explain the specific reason.

Hollywood has already applied motion capture technology as early as 1990.

"Bullet time!"

Jon Fertimer rubbed his temples, seeming a little tired, "Even the digital domain and Industrial Light and Magic can't solve it?"

He didn't know what to say. It seemed that the special effects request made by the new boss was very unusual.

The two special effects studios ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in Hollywood can make any kind of special effects as long as they can afford the price.

If even they can't solve the problem, I'm afraid it's the bullet time in a short period of time, so it can only be temporarily stranded.

"Yes, it is possible, but the effect is not ideal." Ryan also knew that his request was too high.

"Forget it, leave the matter of bullet time to Digital Domain and Industrial Light & Magic."

"Let's talk about whether 20th Century Fox has made any requests."

Technical issues are best left to professionals.

Jon Felthammer thought for a while and said: "Basically there is no change, the two parties each bear half of the funds, 20th Century Fox and Orion Pictures are jointly responsible for North American publicity and distribution, and overseas distribution is handed over to 20th Century Fox. .”

"Of course, 20th Century Fox will choose to invest in financing and pre-sale, and will not invest alone."

"An expected bad news." Ryan sighed helplessly. He hated pre-sales, and even more hated third-party guarantees. "As long as 20th Century Fox doesn't damage our interests, it's acceptable."

"Other than this, are there any other requirements!"

It is no stranger to Hollywood film companies to raise funds through pre-sales.

"Twentieth Century Fox intends to recommend a newcomer, Penelope Cruz, to play the role of the villain female robot in the film." Jon Fertimer once again said a piece of news.

Penelope Cruz!

A name that is somewhat familiar to Ryan. It seems that he had an affair with Tom Cruise in his previous life, and his appearance is not bad.

"Yes, but you must pass the crew audition." Speaking of this, Ryan paused, and continued: "Notify Charlie and join her for an internal makeup audition."

Ryan has always taken good care of his own people.

Of course, there is another reason. With Charlize Theron's appearance and figure, she is very suitable for this role, and she can continue to trade.

"I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Jon Fertimer didn't show any surprise.

The relationship between Ryan and Charlize Theron is not a secret in Hollywood. Otherwise, how could an unknown actor easily star in a film with an investment of 35 million US dollars.

"As for "The Sixth Sense", wait for a while, Orion doesn't have much energy for the time being." Ryan chose not to prepare for the filming of "The Sixth Sense", focusing on the pre-production of "Terminator 3".

In addition to the negotiations between Jon Felthammer and Twentieth Century Fox on behalf of Orion Films, Helen, as Ryan's agent, also needs to negotiate with the crew,

This time, Ryan was not polite, and directly asked Helen to offer a considerable amount of remuneration, as well as a share of the North American box office.

He will not save money for 20th Century Fox, nor will he save money for Orion Pictures, it is all financing anyway.

After the two chatted for a while, Ryan left Orion Films in a hurry. He needed to rush to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to attend the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony with the crew of "Leaving Las Vegas".

It's just that this time he can't accompany Monica Bellucci on the red carpet. She needs to appear with Nicolas Cage to gain maximum exposure and increase the box office of "Leaving Las Vegas".

It has been several months since it was released, and "Leaving Las Vegas" is still not popular. The single-day box office revenue is pitifully low. We can only count on the Golden Globes and Oscars to have some gains.

Arriving outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Ryan walked in through the side door very low-key, found the location of the "Leaving Las Vegas" crew, and hugged everyone.

"Cage, Monica, Mike, how are you feeling!"

Ryan sat down next to Monica Bellucci and jokingly said, "Have you prepared your acceptance speech yet?"

"A few years ago, I was ready." Nicholas Cage said confidently.

"Helen has already prepared for me." Monica Bellucci was somewhat nervous.

She is about to face Sharon Stone, Susan Sarandon, Elizabeth Sue, Meryl Streep and others, each of whom is a veteran Hollywood actress.

Mike Figgis didn't speak, and even his face was a bit ugly. He knew about Ryan's support for Monica Bellucci and Nicolas Cage for a long time, and the resources that the crew put on him were almost pitiful. .

Not to mention the best director of the Oscar, whether he can be nominated for an Oscar is still a question, and it is estimated that the Golden Globe Award will not be played.

Ryan ignored Mike - Figgis, anyway, there will be no intersection in the future.

He leaned close to Monica Bellucci's ear and whispered, "Tonight, can we try the Golden Globe Best Actress?"

Faced with Ryan's teasing, Monica Bellucci's nervousness seemed to be diluted a lot, "Ryan, can you be more serious."

"Well, dear, you have the final say." Ryan continued to tease.

But then, he became a lot quieter.

"I heard that Orion Films has reached an agreement with 20th Century Fox to prepare a sequel to "Terminator" with a budget of up to 130 million US dollars." Nicholas Cage approached and asked in a low voice, his tone somewhat complicated.

When the first "Chain Saw" was filmed, Ryan was only a rookie director. If it weren't for Sofia's relationship, he would never have acted in a low-cost horror film.

However, in just over a year, Ryan not only became a well-known director in Hollywood, but even bought a film company with distribution channels in North America.

It made Nicholas Cage somewhat uncomfortable.

"Not long after the agreement was reached, the next step is to start auditioning for actors."

Ryan spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that this is a sequel film, and the protagonist can only be Arnold Schwarzenegger."

"It's Charlie who can come and audition. There are two important female characters in the film."

Speaking of this, Ryan glanced at Monica Bellucci next to him, "Honey, if you can spare time, you can try another role."

"I'm afraid Roland can't help but kill me." Monica Bellucci shook her head thinking of Roland Emmerich.

She couldn't ask Roland Emmerich to change the crew's shooting plan.

Nicolas Cage glanced at the calm Monica Bellucci, and focused on the stage. He didn't want to get involved in the topic of Charlie.

Although the influence of the Golden Globe Awards is not as good as that of the Oscars, it is also a feast, and it is more commercialized.

As for the weathervane of Oscar?

It's just nonsense, the jury for the Golden Globes has nothing to do with the jury for the Oscars.

Union awards such as the Screen Actors Union and the Directors Union are the real indicators of the Oscars.

The reason is very simple, almost all of these trade union judges are academic members.

On the stage, Seth Miles, who hosted the Golden Globe Awards ceremony for the first time, said, "The nominations for Best Actress in a Drama Series at this year's Golden Globe Awards are: Monica Bellucci's "Leaving Garthwell" Garth", Sharon Stone "Casino", Susan Sarandon "Death Row Walking", Elizabeth Sue "Far From Casino"..."

Below, Monique Bellucci suddenly showed a nervous look, and clenched his hands tightly.

For the first time since she came to Hollywood, she has the potential to win a major award. With the status of a Golden Globe Award winner, whether it is returning to Italy or continuing to stay in Hollywood, it will play a big role.

Even, with a Golden Globe Award winning actress, no one will talk about her modeling background.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be yours." Ryan whispered to cheer her up.

"Come on!" Nicholas Cage shook a trophy in his hand. He just won the first Golden Globe Award winner in his life. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"The winner is..." Seth Miles couldn't believe it. He glanced at the bottom of the stage in great surprise, and slowly said a name, "Monica Bellucci!"

"Wow." Ryan applauded excitedly.

Monica Bellucci was obviously taken aback for a moment, then immediately stood up, hugged each other with Ryan and the others, and then walked towards the stage.

Below the stage, Nicole Kidman looked at Monica Bellucci not far away, and muttered to herself, "Isn't she beautiful?"

At this time, Tom Cruise on the side reminded: "It's coming to you soon."

Nicole-Kidman nodded reluctantly. It seemed that she was not very emotional. She was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award, but it was not the Best Actress in a Leading Role, but the Best Actress in a Musical Comedy, barely considered a second-category award. .

On the stage, Monica Bellucci received the trophy representing the best actress of the Golden Globe Awards, stood in front of the microphone in the center of the stage, looked down at the trophy in her hand, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Thank you everyone..."
