The Best Entertainment Era

? Walking side by side on the wooden floor with Angelina Jolie, Ronan looked at the slightly bulging biceps between her curved arms and said, The effect of exercise is obvious.

Angelina Jolie glanced at Ronan and said, You're not bad, you're stronger than when I first saw you.

Both of them work out in this fitness club, and they also have the same fitness trainer. They often meet and are quite familiar with each other.

Luo Nan walked and said, I heard that the filming of Tomb Raider is finished?

The filming is over. Angelina Jolie said simply: It was just finished before Thanksgiving, and I traveled a lot. This is my first time shooting an action movie.

Ronan took the opportunity to say, Would you like to make another one? He pointed to Angelina Jolie's smooth upper arms, and said, It's hard to practice, and they should be useful.

Angelina Jolie rolled her eyes imperceptibly, and her thick lips moved slowly: Filming action movies is too tiring, and if you are not careful, you can easily get injured. I was injured once when I was filming an outdoor scene in Cambodia.

Ronan asked with concern: Where did you hurt? Is it okay?

One of Angelina Jolie's hands fell on her upturned buttocks unconsciously. She was a bold person, without any twitching, and said: I fell when I landed, and a hard branch got stuck. Go in, fortunately it's just a flesh wound, it's healed now.

Ronan nodded, and subconsciously wanted to say that fortunately this place is thick, but he knew it was wrong, and said, It's fine. He changed the subject again: As long as you take good protection, it's actually not that easy to get hurt. .”

Why did you take a fancy to me? Angelina Jolie was a little curious: With you and your company, it shouldn't be difficult to find an actor.

Ronan said directly: The number of really popular actresses is actually limited. I met a few and found that you are the most suitable.

These words were secretly flattering, Angelina Jolie didn't think so much about it later, she was obviously very useful, and said with a smile: You should talk to my agent about this.

He is biting the $7 million salary, and I have a headache. Ronan said directly: The crew only has a budget of $20 million, and I can't afford the $7 million salary.

After Shahai Entertainment contacted Angelina Jolie's agent several times, they reached a stalemate when it came to the salary of 7 million US dollars.

Angelina Jolie said: What project?

She is not against action movies,

The performance award has already been won. After investing so much, I must find a way to get back the cost and take the opportunity to earn more.

Ronan said: I have given your agent the script and character concept map. Oh, yes, I also have it in my briefcase, how about I give it to you?

Angelina Jolie didn't refuse, and said, It's good to have a look.

Ten minutes later, the two returned to the dressing area. Angelina Jolie followed Ronan directly into his own dressing room. Ronan found the briefcase from the cabinet and found out the Underworld heroine Celine Na's concept artwork and character settings were handed over to Angelina Jolie.

This was specially prepared by him, and he originally planned to have a good talk with Angelina Jolie when he met her in the fitness club.

Angelina Jolie took the next step, flipped through it, and saw the graceful figure outlined by the tight leather jacket, feeling strangely familiar.

Ronan said directly: The appearance setting of this character refers to some of your characteristics.

Angelina Jolie looked at Ronan with a bit of puzzlement on her wild face.

Action actresses are very rare in Hollywood. Ronan simply explained: But if this type is done well, it may become a super A, but the requirements for action actresses are relatively high. Let's put it this way, Julie. I personally I believe that the conditions for becoming a top action actress are more demanding than winning an Oscar for acting. And you have these conditions.

There are several Hollywood stars who do not want to become superstars, and Angelina Jolie is no exception: Ronan, your lobbying is very convincing. But my father said a long time ago, don't trust the words of the producers easily , in order to achieve the goal, the producer dares to say anything.

Ronan spread his hands helplessly: Everyone in Hollywood who has worked with me knows that I am the most honest and reliable person.

Angelina Jolie stared straight at Ronan for a while, feeling a little puzzled. There was no trace of Hollywood-style treachery and treachery on this man's young and handsome face.

By the way, this person is really good-looking, a few years ago, maybe...

Angelina Jolie shook her head slightly, getting rid of these unreliable thoughts, erected the stack of documents, and asked, Can I take these with me?

Of course, Rona would not refuse: Yes, Julie, I'm serious, you should think about it carefully. You have already won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, it is too difficult to win Best Actress again, even if you get the best actress The best actress may not become a superstar, but if you take the action route, it is a shortcut to becoming a superstar. Even after several successful action movies, you can become a member of the 20 million club like Julia Roberts .”

Hearing the last sentence, Angelina Jolie's chest, which was slightly rising and falling due to breathing, suddenly stopped, and after ten seconds, it rose and fell at a faster speed than before.

At this time, Ronan said: In terms of remuneration, I hope that the early remuneration can be less, and then the later payment will be paid in the form of profit sharing.

Angelina Jolie collected the materials and said, I will carefully consider the role. Ronan, please discuss the salary with my agent.

She waved to Ronan: See you another day, keep in touch.

Goodbye. Ronan also waved his hand.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Ronan returned to North Hollywood, where he met Kate Beckinsale and her agent at a coffee shop in North Hollywood that night.

Ben, that's Ben Affleck. Ronan said to the two, He showed me the Pearl Harbor crew to see the sample film some time ago. With all due respect, Miss Beckinsale, your character creation is not very good. outstanding.

Kate Beckinsale's complexion was a bit ugly, and the agent stared at Ronan, as if he would turn his face at any moment.

Ronan said bluntly: Whether in terms of appearance, temperament or performance, Miss Beckinsale is obviously imitating Nicole Kidman, isn't it?

Kate - Beckinsale's fair face instantly clouded.

The agent was a little angry, and wanted to refute, but was gently pulled by Kate Beckinsale.

Others don't know, but Kate Beckinsale knows that in the role of Evelyn, she is imitating Nicole Kidman.

Mr. Anderson. The agent suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, Action movies do not conform to Kate's style and positioning.

Ronan shook his head and said: Action movies are a shortcut to superstardom. Haven't you seen the success of Charlie's Angels? Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are so popular. Female action movies are becoming Mainstream, with Miss Beckinsale's conditions, she is very suitable for action roles, this is a good opportunity brought by the development of the times!

He emphasized: If Miss Beckinsale can seize the opportunity, not only can she establish her own acting style, but after several successful action films, she can also become a member of the 20 million club like Julia Roberts. .”

Ronan blushed and his heart skipped a beat when he said this kind of pure deceitful words.

Kate Beckinsale touched her agent's foot, stood up and said, Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom.

Knowing that she didn't want to participate in the next conversation, the agent also avoided confrontation with the rapidly rising young producers in the industry. After Kate Beckinsale walked away, she said: We have also seriously considered what Mr. Anderson said. This possibility. Kate also hopes to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment, but Shahai Entertainment also has to show sincerity, right?

Ronan understood what he meant, and said directly: The salary of 5 million US dollars is too high.

The agent said a little toughly: Kate just starred in a big production with a production cost of 140 million US dollars! And it's the leading actress!

This film hasn't been released yet, so its success or failure is uncertain. Ronan said flatly, What if the response to Miss Beckinsale's role is not good?

Impossible! The agent became more and more forceful: The remuneration is 5 million US dollars, there is no need to talk about less than this number of dollars.

The negotiation was basically dead. Ronan was about to leave. Before leaving, he finally said: The base salary of 2 million US dollars, plus 1% of the box office profit. Think about it, female action movies are the most suitable type for Miss Beckinsale .”

It's a pity that the agent didn't listen at all.

Ronan didn't say any more, and left directly.

Kate Beckinsale is far from worth $5 million.

Again, he'd rather spend $7 million on Angelina Jolie than $5 million on Kate Beckinsale.

Measured from a commercial point of view, the latter is inferior to the former in every respect.

There is no news from Angelina Jolie, and Kate Beckinsale has little hope. Later, Ronan contacted Charlize Theron's agent and sent an invitation to Charlize Theron.

In this era, South African diamonds are positioned as pure vases in Hollywood. The salary is not high, but their commercial appeal is limited.

To be precise, Charlize Theron's commercial appeal is not strong even after winning the Oscar.

The American public doesn't seem to like this type of actress very much.

Ronan also has doubts, but he still allows people to continue to contact him. If the conditions are right, Charlize Theron, who already has a frigid temperament, can play the role of cold-faced Selena.

Although the heroine of Underworld has not been confirmed, Ronan left Los Angeles as planned and rushed to New York to prepare for more critical work.

After leaving JFK Airport and rushing to the hotel in Manhattan, Ronan saw Robert Lee and asked directly, How is it? What's going on at Marvel Comics?

Surprise is the later Marvel. After Disney acquired Marvel Comics in the previous life, it changed its Chinese name.
