The Best Entertainment Era

Tracey, here you come.

As soon as he came out of the restaurant, Johnny Depp saw his agent and asked quickly, You and that...

He patted his slightly dizzy head after drinking, and finally remembered: That Ronan Anderson, yes! Just Ronan Anderson, how did you talk to him?

Tracy Jacobs casually put the character script and setting sketches on the coffee table, and said, I'm very disappointed, it's not a good character as expected.

In fact, she is also confused about Johnny Depp's development route. More than ten years have passed, and she is still playing some non-mainstream and alternative roles. Pu's road to stardom will be even more bumpy.

It's not easy to make a transformation. I thought it was an opportunity. After all, Bourne Shadow made Matt Damon's transformation quite successful.

Who knew it turned out to be a pirate theme.

The hell with the pirate theme, there are still people in Hollywood who want to make a pirate movie with a big investment. I don’t know whether that Ronan Anderson is so self-confident that he gets carried away, or is he really crazy.

Johnny Depp casually asked, What role?

Tracy Jacobs replied: A pirate captain.

Johnny Depp had just picked up the character script and setting drawings, and when he heard that it was a pirate captain, he lost interest in an instant.

He's just weird and jerk, not dumb, and he knows what pirates mean in Hollywood these days.

Depp! Vanessa Paradis suddenly called from upstairs: Come up quickly and watch Lily!

Johnny Depp looked a little embarrassed.

Vanessa Paradis's voice was even louder: Depp, you bastard, hurry up!

Johnny Depp had no choice but to say to his agent: Tracey, you can do whatever you want, I'll go upstairs to have a look first.

Tracy Jacobs quickly waved his hand, letting Depp do whatever he wanted.

Johnny Depp hurriedly walked towards the stairs. Before going upstairs, he found that he still had the character script in his hand, and put it on the shelf beside the stairs, and hurried upstairs.

Tracy Jacob looked at Johnny Depp's back thoughtfully. It seemed that after having a daughter, Johnny Depp finally matured and understood the responsibilities of a man.

That's always a good thing.

Do you want to be a prodigal star for a lifetime?

As we grow older, this road will soon become unstoppable.

Hopefully Depp can really grow up.

Soon, Johnny Depp came down from upstairs with a little girl in his arms, and Vanessa Paradis, who had long hair reaching her waist, also followed and greeted Tracy Jacob with a smile.

Looking at the happy family, Tracy Jacobs forgot all about pirate movies and pirate themes.

The initial contact between Ronan and Johnny Depp was not smooth. After Tracy Jacobs took away the character script and the setting sketches, there was no news for a while. It seems that the whole Hollywood is afraid of pirate themes like a tiger.

Even if there were other reasons for a pirate movie to take down a mid-sized studio, it's still scary.

Since Cut Throat Island, Hollywood has never released a pirate-themed film with a relatively large investment scale, which can also explain one or two.

Ronan was mentally prepared for this, and he also knew that Shahai Entertainment was no better than Disney Pictures, and his appeal in the field of production was not as good as Jerry Bruckheimer, so it was normal to encounter some difficulties in terms of funds or personnel.

Such a top-level production cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Sandsea Entertainment also had initial contact with Gore Verbinski, and the news was not good. It wasn’t that Gore Verbinski had doubts about the pirate theme, but that Gore Verbinski Just signed a director contract with DreamWorks Pictures, and is preparing to shoot the American version of the famous island horror film Midnight Ring.

Ronan simply inquired about the situation of this film. The director is Gore Verbinski, and the heroine is the late bloomer Naomi Watts. It is invested and filmed by DreamWorks Pictures.

This remake of the horror film will not be completed until February and March next year at the earliest. According to the director's contract with DreamWorks Pictures, Gore Verbinski cannot talk about the new director's work until then.

That is to say, before March next year, it is impossible for Gore Verbinski to transfer to the work of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Ronan kept in touch with Gore Verbinski and his agent while considering backup options.

Even including Johnny Depp, there are necessary backups to consider.

As a producer, it is impossible to hang yourself from a tree, even if that person makes himself Captain Jack Sparrow.

This kind of crazy role, Jim Carrey may be a backup candidate.

In contrast, the contact with Miss A Keira Knightley went very smoothly. Kate Knightley is filming a film called Playing Like Beckham in which she plays a supporting actress, As long as the crew needs it, they can switch to a new crew at any time.

As for the little blacksmith, I haven't contacted him yet, and Ronan is thinking about whether to change to an actor who is Kong Wu and powerful, and who is more funny and talented when paired with Depp.

How about Guo Da-Statham, the beauty of the age?

In terms of appearance, it was at the level of the beauty of the prosperous age, and her London accent was also very standard.

In terms of muscular figure, it is the existence of the elf prince in seconds.

Also, it seems that Dwayne Johnson is also good, and his muscles are obviously more in line with the blacksmith's settings.

But if it was Dwayne Johnson, it would be too embarrassing for Miss A Keira Knightley. After all, if the breasts are not as big as the male ticket, it seems uncoordinated.

This candidate is not very good.

Ronan considered it again and again, and decided to wait and see. Now that the project has just been put on the agenda, there is no rush for these tasks.

In contrast, the script must be further improved.

Currently, the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment has two priority scripts, one is Pirates of the Caribbean and the other is Taken.

The latter will also be on the agenda in the second half of the year.

Finding a suitable action film director is also a job that Ronan attaches great importance to.

I properly disclosed it to CAA. CAA recommended Joseph McGinty-Nitcher, the director of The Boys of the Thunderbolt, but Ronan directly rejected it after a meeting. There is an irreparable gap between the two parties in action design. Huge differences.

Joseph McGinty-Niecher seems to have not woken up from the success of Charlie's Angels, thinking that the best action design in North America today is Charlie's Angels.

Ronan, however, has no interest in this kind of ostentatious dancing and kung fu. What kind of joke are you kidding if you let the agent's father dance?

Wu Da will soon withdraw from the mainstream stage of Hollywood movies.

Ronan brainstormed and asked everyone in the company to recommend a few candidates he thought were suitable, and then make the best selection from them.

In Hollywood, where the world's film talents gather, you can always find a suitable director.

This is also the advantage of Hollywood. It attracts film talents from all over the world to come and develop. As long as there are suitable projects and funds, there is no need to worry about not being able to attract the crew.

And it can ensure that the crew members are all qualified talents.

After the first draft of Taken was released, Ronan also made a preliminary contact with Liam Neeson's agent. Liam Neeson had just finished filming Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones and currently has no other work I'm still doing it, and I'm still interested in playing the role of a secret agent father, the only condition is that the salary must be sufficient.

This is good news in a series of bad news.

Liam Neeson is very valuable in the future, and it is a typical example that the older you get, the more popular you become. This is also the advantage of many Hollywood male stars.

Hollywood actresses tend to decline rapidly after the age of thirty-five, and their status and appeal are greatly reduced, but there are quite a few uncle-type male stars who get better with age.

Ronan is also thinking, if they can cooperate successfully, will they rely on Liam Neeson to make a series of rescue series?

Let Liam Neeson rescue on screen until the audience wants to throw up.

Hurricane rescue, dark night rescue, train rescue, plane rescue, cemetery rescue, army rescue...

There are really many rescues that can be done.

If it doesn't work, you can go to rescue Batman.

Uwe Ball can be the king of bad movies, and Liam Neeson can be the king of rescues.

Finally, friends who like Liam Neeson's movies must know that there are no evil forces in reality that can threaten Liam Neeson.

Whether it's an international underworld organization, a criminal group with an official background, whether it's a vicious mafia, or a crazy terrorist, Liam Neeson has killed them one by one.

Longtan and tiger's lair, airplanes and ships, there are only places that humans cannot reach, and there is no one that Uncle Liam cannot save.

Ronan still remembered that whenever he saw Liam Neeson's face in his previous life, he felt a very solid sense of security. Even the wrinkles on the uncle's face felt sexy and handsome.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Liam Neeson can continue to rescue.

While Ronan was busy with these two projects, Bourne Shadow continued to be released in North America. Thanks to the addition of the Robert Ludlum effect, the North American box office had an excellent start until now, and the North American box office finally exceeded 150 million. million, reaching US$151.26 million.

At the same time, the number of countries and regions where the film was screened overseas has increased to 75, with a cumulative overseas box office of US$95.26 million and a global box office of nearly US$250 million.

According to the current trend, there is basically no problem with the final global box office exceeding 300 million US dollars.

The success of the films released by Embassy Pictures has also increased the theater's confidence in Fatal Turns.

A week before the release, all the copies of Fatal Turn were put in place, and there were as many as 2,355 theaters in North America. The theaters have full confidence in this traditional plasma horror film.

On July 20, 2001, Fatal Turns held a grand premiere at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood.

It's a horror premiere crafted with input from Ronan.
