Chapter 374 Star Wars, Star Wars
The Star Wars series has long exceeded the scope of films in North America, forming a unique Star Wars culture. It was with this series that George Lucas became one of the four major directors in the 1980s.
The release of the Star Wars prequel is undoubtedly a grand festival for the many Star Wars fans in North America.
Ryan also saw from TV reports that the most fanatical Star Wars fans quit their jobs a month before the movie was released and focused on reviewing the entire series from scratch, waiting for the release of the new prequel.
On the premiere day, there were crowds of people in front of the Metropolitan Theater in New York. One by one, one star walked on the red carpet hand in hand. The most eye-catching ones were the robot R2D2 and Master Yoda.
Today's protagonist belongs to George Lucas and his movies. Ryan is very conscious and stays at the entrance of the theater for a short time. After slightly satisfying the reporter's request for taking photos, he walked into the theater.
"Where is Nicole?" When George Lucas walked into the theater, he saw Ryan, and found that the other person he invited did not come.
"Jenkins Pictures has an urgent matter to deal with, so she has returned to Los Angeles." Ni left in a hurry last night.
"What about my heroine?" George Lucas' beard almost raised and vented his dissatisfaction to Ryan. "This is the candidate you recommend. Miss Natalie Portman is a bit too maverick."
"Sorry, George, you know, for someone who wants to make a difference in both academic and film, time is always tight." Ryan is still very conscious of his lover.
George Lucas didn't know what to say anymore. After chatting for a few more words, he went to greet the others.
No matter how others criticize George? Lucas only relies on his old fortune, but this is the premiere of the Star Wars series. He has invited countless Hollywood celebrities here, and even some people who have not shown much in the past two years.
"Hello, Mr. Coppola." Ryan greeted Francis Coppola, who was held by his daughter.
"Ryan." The old man held Ryan's outstretched hand, "I didn't expect that you would agree to play Anakin? Skywalker."
"It's not just to please women." Sofia Coppola murmured in a low voice, "Where is Nat, Ryan? Didn't she come?"
"She wants to review her homework." Ryan had no choice but to take this excuse again.
"You young people chat, I'll say hello to old friends." Francis Coppola knew very well that their era was over, and there was no harm in letting her daughter make more powerful people in Hollywood.
"I heard from George, you are not planning to participate in the second part?" Ryan asked after the two found a quieter place.
"I plan to end my acting career for the time being." Sofia Coppola hid her iconic big teeth, "I can imagine now that tomorrow those people will start to laugh at my teeth and acting skills again!"
This can be said to be the biggest obstacle for actors from famous families. If they perform well in the film, it is normal. If they perform poorly, they will wait for the media to mock the "shameful nepotism".
"Don't care too much about the voices of those people."
To be honest, Sofia Coppola's acting skills described by the media are not exaggerated. She does not have talent in this regard. "Sophia, didn't you choose to be a director? I believe you will let everyone who laughed at you shut up."
"It seems you have confidence in me?" Sofia Coppola laughed. If she looks like this, her rabbit teeth are actually not ugly. "Then can you invest in my next video?"
"Did you have any ideas?" Ryan was curious.
"There's a little bit, but it's vague." She asked seriously at Ryan, "If possible, can you help me improve it?"
"Are you sure?" Ryan stopped the waiter passing by, took two cups of soda, and handed it to Sofia. "Sofia, do you know what I am best at? Are you sure the next work is a completely commercial subject?"
"Come on, Ryan." Sofia Coppola took a big sip of soda. "Ska told me a lot of your things, and "The Rest of the Desert Island" also proves that you can create excellent literary works."
"When did Scar become a traitor?" Ryan muttered deliberately and asked. "How is she doing?"
"It's great, much better than what I'm like." Sofia seemed a little embarrassed, and hesitated, "It's just about interpersonal relationships... She and Kirsten Dunst were not very happy."
"Ska is my friend..."
Before Ryan finished speaking, Sophia nodded, "I know what to do."
"Then let it be for the time being." Ryan glanced at an old man from the corner of his eyes, and was about to leave. Sofia Coppola asked, "What about what happened just now?"
"When you have a clear idea, you can send it to my email address and I can give you some suggestions. This is your work, Sophia.
After leaving this sentence, Ryan took a few steps and caught up with the old man, "Hi, Mr. Scott."
"Ryan..." The old man looked over strangely.
"Can you talk?" Ryan made a gesture of asking for help.
"sure."
Ridley Scott followed Ryan to the other party just now. Sophia watched him go back and guessed that the two might have important things to talk about. When they wanted to leave, Ryan waved his hand and made a gesture that was okay.
As a woman, curiosity is an essential factor. Sofia Coppola simply pricked up her ears.
"Ridley, can you invite you to direct a video?"
It was Ryan's voice, Sophia Capola knew that his directness and decisiveness in handling film affairs were famous throughout Hollywood.
"Oh? Can you ask which movie it is? Could it be "100% Men"?" Sophia rolled her eyes and thought to herself, is this kind of subject suitable for you? Besides, the news that Nancy Myers was in charge of the director of this movie has long been spread throughout the circle.
"Gladiator!" The voice was still so straightforward.
"Just the script of the Roman Empire that was preached in Hollywood some time ago?"
"Yes, that's it."
"You won't..."
"Yes, Ridley, this is the script I prepared for myself."
Hearing this, Sophia Coppola knew that as long as Ridley Scott was not too confused, he would definitely take on this job. What is Ryan’s biggest goal now? It is already obvious from his transformation in "The Rest of the Desert Island".
Moreover, he is the box office guarantee. If he changes himself, he will definitely respond directly to the fact that he wins both fame and fortune.
Sure enough, as she thought, Ridley Scott, who was in urgent need of turning over, nodded happily, "I need to see the script first. If I guess correctly, is this an epic theme?"
After Ryan nodded, Ridley Scott's voice came over again, "You know, Ryan, this type of movie requires a very long preparatory time, budget..."
Sophia's eyes were on Ryan, and he raised his hand and interrupted Ridley Scott, "The movie will not start until next year, and I will prepare a $100 million production budget for the film."
Well, it's a big deal, much more courageous than his cousin who only knows how to eat, drink, play and spend money randomly. Sofia Coppola suddenly sighed.
"What are you thinking? So trance?"
After Ridley Scott left, Ryan saw Sofia Coppola staring at him and immediately walked over, "Sofia?"
"Nothing, I'm just wondering when I can direct a big production worth hundreds of millions of dollars." Sofia Coppola lowered her eyelids and blocked her glittering eyes.
"There will be this day." Ryan comforted casually.
In her previous life, the great success of "Lost Tokyo" established Sophia Coppola's status as a director. Everyone thought she would become the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Director, but this honor ended up on the truck driver's ex-wife.
"I hope the investor will be you, Ryan."
Sofia Coppo made a joke, looked at the time, and made a gesture of invitation, "The movie is about to begin, let's go in."
In addition to the dazzling stunts and the reputation accumulated by Star Wars, just by looking at the filming and editing of this movie, as well as the logic that the plot must be at least, George Lucas's is indeed the bottom of the four major directors, and the whole story is full of too many coincidences.
Although all movies are almost a collection of coincidences, if used unlimitedly, the movie lacks sufficient persuasion.
Well, logic, story, plot, reasonableness, and even the unreliable fights of the Jedi can be thrown aside. As long as the movie is Star Wars, as long as the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic are dazzling enough, it is enough for this completely commercial work.
George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic has the most advanced film special effects technology in Hollywood, which is undoubtedly revealed in "The Ghost Threat".
The main plot of the movie is the appearance of Anakin Skywalker, and the acquaintance with Queen Amidala played by Natalie, while laying some groundwork for their subsequent love.
Anyway, in Ryan's opinion, many plots can be improved. Lucas had solicited his opinions at the time, but Ryan remained silent, just as he said at the time. This is a work belonging to George Lucas. If you don't want to have some unnecessary conflicts in the future, it's better to shut up.
Kui Gang King died in battle, Obi Wang avenged him, the real and fake queen messed up the sight of the trade alliance, and the planet Nabre restored peace, Obi Wang took away the young Anakin Skywalker and insisted on accepting him as a student, and the first movie came to an end.
Ryan believes that the wave of criticism will surely drown out a lot of praise tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
