The Golden Gate Bridge, one of the world's most famous bridges and one of the iconic American buildings, is a symbol of San Francisco, which is the most enjoyable building for Hollywood movies to destroy alongside the White House and Manhattan.

In Golden Gate Bay, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge, there is another famous San Francisco presence. Perhaps few people will know the name of its original Pelican Island, but when it comes to Alcatraz, I'm afraid there are some hearings all over the world.

"X-Men 3" chose the most important scenes in these two places.

Today, Alcatraz Island has long become a leisure area in San Francisco. Visitors who visit have become an important source of income for the island, and the movies or TV crews filmed here are another source of income.

After going to the island, Ryan chose a high platform where he could see the panoramic view of the shooting site and quietly observed the crew's shooting.

Now the scenes of the war at the end of the end are shot. Fires and explosions appear from time to time. Although the momentum is very strong, the scale is actually limited. The actors in X-Men uniforms, temporary actors dressed in US military soldiers fight in a mess with the mutant brothers. Apart from enough chaos, they actually do not have much ornamentality.

The scene without post-processing is indeed terrible. After seeing the filming pause, Ryan turned around and looked at the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge covered by fog was indeed a very strange landscape.

"Aren't you going down and have a look?"

Charlize's clear voice came from behind him. When Ryan looked back, she nodded to the bodyguards guarding the periphery and walked to the slightly higher platform, "Oh, the scenery is really good."

She also saw the orange Golden Gate Bridge blocking the thick fog.

“Don’t you need to shoot today?”

Ryan looked at her. Charlize was wearing straight pants, a tight T-shirt, and a pair of sunglasses, which obviously didn't look like filming.

South African American Diamond came over and held his hand, and said with a smile, "My scenes are all in the afternoon, and now they are mainly filming Magneto vs. X-Men."

Although the movie is set at night, this kind of scene is often filmed during the day and then the background is replaced.

The filming started again soon, and Ryan had no intention of getting close. He just led Charlize and observed the crew from a distance.

This will be the last of the first trilogy of "X-Men". Ryan and Marvel have long reached an agreement. After the movie is released, the series will be temporarily sealed and restarted after the next three to five years. Hugh Jackman, Harry Berry, Ian McLean, including Charlize, has long been different from before. In particular, Hugh Jackman's pay is directly approaching the 20 million dollar mark. The pay of all crew members almost crushed Marvel's budget.

Even though the negotiations were repeatedly compressed, the actors and directors still accounted for 60% of the crew's expenses, which even pushed the production cost of "X-Men: Battle of the Wave" to a terrifying figure of $200 million.

In this regard, it is a wiser choice to replace these actors and then launch a group of youth idols.

And Ryan and Marvel have already made plans to rely on the box office to not recover the cost. After all, there is still a $45 million promotional fee here. The highest global box office of this movie is $500 million. You can only rely on various copyrights and peripheral products to achieve profitability.

Next is the director, because he had signed a sky-high breach of contract, so Brian Singer could only do his best to complete this series before he could carry out his favorite "Superman" series.

That's right, in addition to "Wonder Woman", which is selecting actors, Warner restarted the "Superman" series, and the director of "Superman Return" is determined to be Brian Singer, but all of this will be done after he completes "X-Men: Battle Against the Wave".

“There are too much work this year.”

This is the third movie Charlize has filmed in a year. She looked at the fire rising on the set and shook Ryan's hand and said, "I'm going to have a good holiday after Qin Gray's play is completed."

"Have you figured out where to go?" Ryan reached out to smooth out her long hair that was blown away by the sea breeze. Charlize simply tied up her blonde hair and tied it into a ponytail. "Not yet..."

Her eyes hidden under her sunglasses glanced at Ryan, "Why don't we go to Africa together?"

"Your hometown?" Ryan took off his sunglasses that covered his beautiful face and kissed Charlize's forehead. "As long as it's not the Middle East, it's OK anywhere."

"Please choose a place in North America." Charlize suddenly thought of the terror threat. Although there are no signs of danger so far, it is best to be careful about some things. "Let me think about it again. This movie cannot be finished in a short time, and you cannot just stay by my side."

Ryan could hear the little complaint in her tone, so he had to put his shoulder on her shoulder, "If you want, we can go on vacation to Lanai together..."

"never mind."

Before he could finish speaking, Charlize shook his head, "I don't want to cause trouble."

Even if they meet in public, they will ignore each other, which will only be more embarrassing in private, and there may be conflicts, so it is better to continue to maintain this.

Sighing, Ryan saw that the crew seemed to have entered a long rest state, and walked over with Charlize.

Most of the actors are acquaintances. After they met Ryan, they came to say hello. Ryan also responded one by one. In addition to his limited enemies, his popularity in Hollywood is also famous.

"Ryan..."

When he walked to the main camera position, Brian Singer in the director's chair quickly stood up and shook hands with him, and said sincerely, "I'm very sorry, Ryan."

"It's okay." Ryan shook his hand, "We can wait for you to continue working together after completing the "Superman" series."

The other party is a smart person and knows the need to establish a good relationship with Ryan. Although he turned down Marvel's plan on "Golden Wolf", Ryan knew that "Superman" was almost unsolvable, and the other party was destined to rely on the "X-Men" series for a lifetime. After "Superman Returns" failed, he would naturally return to Marvel's obediently.

After talking to Brian Singer for a few words, Ryan took the initiative to leave. He came here mainly to visit Charlize. Everyone else was responsible for it, and there was no need to directly intervene.

But those actors didn't think so, except for their previous acquaintances, when Ryan and Charlize were sitting at the rest, the newly-recommended X-Men came to say hello.

For example, Katherine Isabel, this little naughty has a very awkward position in the last two films, and her development has not been very smooth in recent years. In the latest version of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", her performance has been unanimously criticized by audiences and film critics.

"Ryan, I was auditioned for Wonder Woman."

After saying hello, she said something vaguely, and Ryan shook his head and said nothing.

If it was James Cameron, maybe he would call Warner, so she would forget it. Surprised boss interfering in the casting of the DC superhero movie, this kind of thing is too weird.

However, Ryan also saw someone who was quite interested. The actor who played Phantom Cat looked very familiar.

"Do you know her?" Charlize handed an ice cream and asked Ryan curiously, "She is from Canada like Kate."

"It should be the first time I met." Ryan opened the outer packaging of the ice cream, "I just felt it looked familiar."

"Men look familiar to beautiful women." Charlize smiled with his lips curled.

Shaking his head, Ryan didn't answer her words. In the current social environment, a girl's pregnancy is not a very suitable subject, and he doesn't plan to make that movie.

After all, it's too sensitive.

After chatting with Charlize for a few minutes, someone came over again. Kevin Feige was wearing jeans and a baseball cap, not like the CEO of Marvel Pictures at all.

After he sat down, what he talked to Ryan was naturally about Marvel Pictures' future filming plan.

"The Ghost Rider's script is being written." Kevin Feige took the soda handed over by Charlize, and said thank you and continued to say to Ryan, "Nicolas Cage agreed to play the leading role. He is now filming Touchstone's "National Treasure". We will wait until next year."

"Don't worry." Ryan stuffed the ice cream to Charlize. "X-Men took up too much of our funds, and a lot of Captain America's overseas share and copyright income have not yet arrived. We have enough time to prepare."

"Stan is still leading people to write scripts for "The Hulk" and "Iron Man." At this point, Kevin Feige smiled and shook his head, "He wants Edward Norton to play Bruce Banner."

"Edward Norton?" Ryan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "The Hulk is an important character in our entire series. With the personality of Edward Norton, may he play this role for a long time?"

"I don't think he's a suitable candidate either."

"So, I'll communicate with Stan about this."

He waved his hand to John behind him, and Ryan signaled him to note the matter and continued, "Kevin, you can choose a suitable person from the second or third-tier actors, and sign a long contract."

For superhero movies, changing actors means unnecessary risks, and unless it is pushed back like the "X-Men" series, it will not be beneficial to the big plan.

After spending nearly a day in Alcatraz, Ryan just watched the filming quietly most of the time. When Charlize's scene was over, he was ready to leave the island and return to San Francisco together.
