The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 375: Mean girl

Which movie should the Marvel superhero series start with? I believe anyone who knows a little about the Avengers series in the previous life will give the same answer. After all, Tony Stark is too impressive.

Especially the last statement-I am Iron Man!

Among a bunch of hidden superheroes, Iron Man almost produced a burst-like effect.

This also makes Tony Stark and Captain America the core of the Avengers.

As a pioneer, the first movie is very important. Ronan does not have the copyright of Spider-Man. Iron Man is still the best choice for the first protagonist. Only if the first movie is successful, can it be reserved for the subsequent construction of the superhero universe. Give enough time and confidence.

Looking at the Marvel superhero copyright that Ronan has obtained, the story of Captain America is too far away, Captain Marvel is a woman, Thor is too small, and others like Black Widow, Hawkeye, etc. can hardly carry such a large series.

In fact, there is only Iron Man.

Speaking of Iron Man, one has to say Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr may not be the only actor candidate for Tony Stark, but he is the best choice.

Handsome, coquettish, humorous and gloomy, typical **** and prodigal looking back, coupled with low enough initial pay, Ronan can hardly think of a more suitable candidate than him.

Robert Downey Jr.'s acting career was almost destroyed by himself, and no one even wanted to use him.

Ronan has paid attention to the news. Robert Downey Jr. was just released from prison in 2000. He still takes drugs after he was released. I don't know if he will go to prison again. At this stage, his career as an actor is basically finished.

If it weren't for the personal connections of the old Robert Downey, Mel Gibson would have taken care of him one or two, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to get a role in Hollywood.

In terms of time, Robert Downey Jr. hasn’t met his producer’s wife. The previous reports about Robert Downey Jr. Susan Levine were in the process of turning back the prodigal son of Robert Downey Jr. Played an extremely critical role.

Not to mention anything else, just for Robert Downey Jr., even if he doesn't need a penny, Ronan dare not use him now.

If you suddenly take drugs during filming, or if there is an incident such as hiding drugs, the producers and investors will not cry.

Ronan asked Connie, an assistant, to collect some news about Robert Downey Jr., and planned to wait until Robert Downey Jr. is at his worst, and try to sign multiple film contracts with Robert Downey Jr.

In his previous life, Robert Downey Jr's salary alone was worth the sum of all the actors' salary for other members of the reunion.

The reason is that apart from Tony Stark, who is the most popular, rich and handsome, Robert Downey Jr. only signed the contract for "Iron Man 1" at the earliest.

This allowed Robert Downey Jr. to take the absolute initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

On the other hand, except for the other actors of Scarlett Johansson, look at their fame that seems to spread all over the world, and then look at their salary, many people will be surprised, why is the salary so low?

Marvel’s Avengers and its related series of movies seem to be a huge investment in each of them, but in terms of cost reduction, Marvel has also achieved the ultimate.

Even in the treatment of long-term actors, it can be called stingy.

Of course, Ronan must give play to this glorious tradition, and the choice of actors will be based on newcomers or fallen stars. Even if they become famous through the Marvel series, they will be the same as those stars in the previous life. Position and appeal dropped by one or even several levels.

After all, apart from Iron Man and Black Widow, the characters are really popular, and the popularity of actors is far less than that of characters.

From Robert Downey Jr., Ronan thought of Scarlett Johansson again. Now Scarlett Johansson is taking the route of art film, which can be called the goddess of literature and art, and truly entered the first place in the commercial film circle. Step, I planted a big somersault, that "Escape from the Clone Island" was very miserable.

So, the black widow doesn't need to worry, she will also make an appointment with the actor at that time.

Ronan also took time to come to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment. After reviewing the first drafts of several scripts, he specifically found Lindsay Bill who returned to Los Angeles from the crew of Vancouver's "Jeans in Summer".

"How about the recruitment?" Ronan asked.

Lindsay Bill rummaged through the file box on the desk and found a file bag. When she took the file bag, a book also fell out. She didn't take care of the book and opened the file bag and took out two documents. To Ronan, he said: "I held an interview and a written test respectively. These are the last two candidates. I plan to choose one of them."

Ronan glanced briefly. These are two female authors in their thirties who have never heard of their names, but those who are willing to be gunners will definitely not be famous.

This is the selection of new gunners for the sequels of "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "Fifty Shadows of Gray". Ronan previously handed the preliminary selection of gunners to Lindsay Bill.

Lindsay Bill has written these three books by himself, and knows these three series better than Ronan, the person who gave the idea.

Ronan went through it, returned the information to Lindsay Bill, and said directly: "Linsey, you know better than me what kind of author is needed for the sequel, you decide."

Lindsay Bill already had a lot of confidence, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll let you know after choosing a good person."

Attracting gunmen with the salary that Ronan gave her at the time, it is simply too easy in a place like Hollywood where screenwriters are not as good as dogs.

Now that Lindsay Bill has come to this position, he has fully realized how naive he was at the beginning, a helpless newcomer screenwriter, it is too difficult to get ahead quickly.

In the past three years at Shahai Entertainment, she has seen too many screenwriters who have been in Hollywood for seven or eight years or even more than a dozen years, and she still can only be a gunman screenwriter who does not even have the right to sign.

Even if people who are lucky enough to be at the level of a signed screenwriter, most of them don’t even have the right to create freedom. They create scripts in accordance with the conditions and themes set by the producer or film company, just like her. The script for adapting "Summer in Cowboy Jacket" is the same.

Ronan urged: "Be careful to let the Legal Department sign a copyright agreement with the recruited staff."

Lindsay Bill nodded: "I know." Then, she asked concerned: "How are the sales of those three books?"

"It's okay." Ronan said simply: "The sales of "Twilight" is almost 500,000 copies, "The Hunger Games" should be able to reach 300,000 copies in the first half of this year, "The Fifty Shades of Gray" Not long after it was published, only tens of thousands of copies were sold."

Lindsay Bill squeezed her delicate face and said, "It's worse than I thought."

Ronan said lightly: "Where can there be high sales without high-investment and large-scale publicity?"

Lindsay Bill shrugged slightly and asked, "When will the film be adapted?"

"Wait for two or three years." Ronan thought for a while, then said, "Don't worry now."

Lindsay Bill tentatively asked: "Can I be a screenwriter?" She gestured, "After all, I know this better."

Ronan certainly wouldn't refuse, saying: "As long as "Summer of Jeans" is successful, I will give you to adapt these three books in the future."

"Good." Lindsay Bill seemed confident.

Just as Ronan was about to leave, he inadvertently scanned Lindsay Bill's desk, saw the book that had fallen out of the file box, and immediately picked it up.

Lindsay Bill explained: "This is my youth, I use it to find inspiration..."

Ronan raised his hand to interrupt Lindsay Bill, first looked at the title of "The Queen Bee and the Follower" on the cover, and then opened it.

The heroine is called Katie Herron. Her background is clearly explained at the beginning of the book. Katie grew up in Africa with her zoologist's parents. The harsh natural environment there has developed Katie's strong and brave character.

Ronan glanced at the beginning and understood the content of the book, basically describing the small social groups of high school girls and their influence on these girls...

"When did this book go on sale?" Ronan was a little strange. He watched every issue of the bestseller list, but he didn't see the name of "Queen Bee and Follower".

Lindsay Bill clearly understood the situation and said: "It just went on the market this month. Because I want to write about youth topics, I often go to bookstores to look for this type of book. Then I found this book and found it interesting, so I bought it. "

Ronan nodded slightly, and "The Queen Bee and the Follower" was only released. It is estimated that it is early to enter the bestseller list.

"Did you watch it?" Ronan asked.

Lindsay Bill replied: "Read it through."

Ronan asked again: "From the point of view of the screenwriter, do you think there is value in adaptation?"

Lindsay Bill thought about it for a while, and said: "The writing is actually pretty good, it just exaggerates the fight between the high school girls..."

Ronan returned the book to Lindsay-Bill ~www.readwn.com~ and said: "You have completed the script of "Summer of Jeans". After completing the recruitment work, make an adaptation plan for this book."

Lindsay Bill immediately understood that Ronan was planning to adapt this book.

Ronan didn't say much. He went into the office and called Robert Lee, asking him to contact the publisher and the author to see if the copyright of the book is still there, and if so, get the right to edit the film as soon as possible.

This should be the original work of "Mean Girl" in the previous life.

Afterwards, Ronan called Christopher Nolan again, and Christopher Nolan was already working on an adaptation plan for the "Batman" series.

It will probably be completed in July, when it will be necessary to convince Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

After leaving Shahai Entertainment and before returning to Theory of Relativity, Ronan received a call from Avril Lavigne.

"Ronan, my new song conference is about to be held, can you come to participate?"
