Chapter 337 About the Lord of the Rings

"No, no." His head shook. "It's my biggest dream and wish to complete this series."

"Ryan, have you read the script?" The person who spoke was Peter Jackson's wife, Francis Wall, who hosted the screenwriter of "Lord of the Rings".

"Basically, I read it." Ryan nodded. Seeing that Jackson and his wife were staring at him, they obviously wanted to get recognition, "Okay, you guys are doing a good job. Peter, Fran, I can give you enough rights, but you must give me a great trilogy."

"I'll do my best!" Peter Jackson helped his eyes.

"Trust me, Peter, if the trilogy can succeed, you'll be the big director in Hollywood."

After encouraging, Ryan asked about some specific preliminary work, and Peter Jackson's assistant brought a plate of film.

“This is my choice of location near Queenstown in my hometown of New Zealand.”

After all the curtains were pulled up and the conference room fell into darkness, beautiful landscape paintings appeared on the white curtains.

"This is a nearly original New Zealand. I think it's the most suitable prototype for Middle-earth." Peter Jackson explained, "The most important thing is that here we can minimize costs such as labor, horses, extras, and daily expenses to minimize costs in order to invest more money in post-production."

"You are the director, just make a decision." Seeing that there was no unexpected change, Ryan nodded directly.

It is wise to shoot away from North America. The taxes, labor and the living expenses of the crew will be much higher than those of shooting overseas.

Maximizing profits is the pursuit of every investor.

"In terms of actors, I don't plan to invite first-line stars. This is a group show, and it is impossible to spend too much money on actors."

Peter Jackson flipped the thick information, "Recently, the crew will audition for the Ring Protection Team and several other actors..."

"Just just make the decision with Julius."

This movie requires too many actors, and Ryan doesn't have that much time to stay in the audition room.

"Ryan, can I finish listening to me?" Peter Jackson smiled helplessly.

"Sorry." Ryan made a gesture of continuing.

"If possible, can you be invited to play a role in the Ring Guardian Team?"

Me? The Ring Protection Team? Ryan looked at the fat man who was so smiling that his eyes were not even able to find him. An image flashed through his mind and quickly shook his head.

"Who? Gandalf? Gimley? Aragon? Or Polomil?"

"The one you ignored, Legras? Green Leaf!"

Hearing the other party's words, Ryan felt that it was indeed the case, sighed and asked, "Do you think I'm really suitable?"

"I don't think there is a better candidate in Hollywood than you."

Peter Jackson said and looked around, including Julius and Jinslie, and everyone showed a look of approval.

Leglass in his previous life was indeed extremely eye-catching, but Ryan had no interest. Leglassby's novel character has been simplified too much, and this character has completely promoted the concept of a male vase. Even Jack Dawson is far inferior to him, and he is simply the future killer of a male actor.

He still remembers that after the release of "The Hobbit 2" in his previous life, Legras returned to the movie, and countless female fans rushed into the theater. They didn't care about the movie, as long as they could see Legras pulling the bow and shooting the arrow.

I have already played the role of Frank Jr. and Jack Dawson, two characters who are suspected of showing off their faces, and continue to walk on this road. That's really going to be dark.

But, he is still very interested in this movie, so he has to change the role.

"No, Peter, you should find a beautiful enough actor for Leglas." Ryan saw that everyone was still staring at him, and couldn't help but knock on the table. "Handsomeness and beauty are two different concepts for men. Please don't confuse you."

Seeing that what he said seemed to have no effect, Ryan had to continue saying, "So, Peter, I can participate in this movie, but the role..."

"I think Gandalf or Aragon is very good." Both the wizard and the Dendan are good choices.

That's right. In Tolkien's world, Gandalf's wizard was not a profession, but a race like dwarfs and elves.

The others couldn't help but look at each other, and Aragon stopped talking. Gandalf was definitely not suitable, otherwise he would have to take out at least half a day to put on makeup before shooting every day.

"Ryan. Your age..." Aragon in the movie is a man in his eighties.

"Peter, age is not a problem." Ryan didn't want to force him, reminding him, "Don't make a decision first. "The Rest of the Desert Island" starring me will be released before the New Year. You will make a decision after watching this movie."

Originally, Ryan was still a little interested in Gimley, but when he thought of playing such a role, his fans would probably unite to protest.

Aragon is actually not bad, a very masculine ranger, the manly bearded man is more troublesome. If the character's beard is removed, the huge number of book fans in "Lord of the Rings" will probably have an objection.

After sending away Peter Jackson and his wife, Ryan went to Robert Zemekis' studio again, and his former alumnus began the post-production of The Rest of the Island after a brief vacation.

When Ryan signed the director agreement, he gave him the final editing rights. Robert Zemikis also wanted to use this movie to challenge next year's best director Xiao Jinren and devote all his energy to it.

This movie almost doesn't use too many special effects. The most troublesome thing is to replace some shots shot during the day with the background of the night, and then dubbing, because a large number of outdoor scenes are shot on the island, and there are too many noises during live recording, and most of the shots need to be redubbed.

Fortunately, these scenes are all shots of Ryan alone. As long as Robert Zemisky can complete the editing on time, these tasks will not be much difficult for him.

Since the acquisition of Carlock Pictures and several years of development, Jenkins Pictures has a small scale, but has a complete operating system. After Ryan's approval, the screenwriter's scripts will join hands with other partners to prepare, shoot, release, and operate various derivatives.

"American Pie", "Screaming Screaming" and "Death Comes" are currently entering the post-production stage. The first two can be logged into the North American market at the end of this year or early next year. "Screaming Screaming 3" has also entered the preliminary preparation stage. Charlize Theron will star in this series for the last time.
Chapter completed!
