Chapter 679 Another big production

"And Nicole."

The shooting is about to start again in the living room. When Ryan and his friends walked out of the villa, Gwyneth asked Nicole again, "Can they be *Pole's godmother?"

"Do we have a choice?" Ryan deliberately spread his hands to her, "It seems that I'm going to have another goddaughter."

This kind of thing is very common in North America and is even more common in Hollywood. After all, the relationship between the two parties is here, and Ryan and Nicole have no intention of refusing, not to mention that Nicole has always liked children very much.

Miss Aipol, who is only a little over one year old, certainly has no right to choose, but she will not regret it when she grows up.

Just like Gwyneth, to the deceased Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, to the entire Barrymore family, most of the people from performing arts families will embark on the same or similar path as their parents. Whether it is connections or opportunities, they have innate advantages.

Drew Barrymore's famous works came from her godfather, Gwyneth Paltrow, who appeared in Spielberg's movies early on. Although their relationship seems to be a lot weaker now, when they really come to critical moments such as choosing important roles or Oscar voting, they must be in the same camp naturally.

All of these are the advantages that actors from aristocratic families have. If such people have strong godfathers like Ryan and godmothers like Nicole, although they may not develop very smoothly in the future, there are absolutely few people who dare to treat her using means other than the rules.

Of course, as long as the conditions themselves are not too bad, becoming famous in the future will not be difficult.

Ryan and Nicole's other goddaughter, Miss Lily Moshin, have been guest-starring in some Disney series or movies that require children's roles since two years ago.

At noon, Ryan and Nicole had lunch with Gwyneth Paltrow. At the dining table, she heard her talk about a lot of things in her work and life. They were also one of her most familiar friends except Drew Barrymore. Many of the topics came from the troubles in life.

Love has a shelf life. After experiencing the initial passionate love, a lot of problems will appear.

Gwyneth's marriage with Cool Play band lead singer Chris Martin is envied by many people, but there are actually many problems. Martin's career is basically in the UK and has lived in London for a long time. Gwyneth's career is mostly in Hollywood and settled in New York. The long distance can be regarded as a test and torture to the relationship between the two parties.

And Gwyneth Paltrow didn't say it, but Ryan and Nicole knew it very well.

Perhaps because of the good and smooth life since childhood, Gwyneth has had a serious princess disease since her childhood. It’s okay to get along with friends. If the other party is a boyfriend or husband, it’s easy to create conflicts.

Therefore, quite a lot of media have despised her marriage.

After lunch, Ryan and Nicole left Malibu and on the way to Burbank, Nicole suddenly said, "I'm a little worried about Alison."

"Worry about her?" Ryan was puzzled and had to say, "Although she was running the notice, the freshness has not disappeared yet and there will be no problems in the short term."

"I'm not talking about that." Nicole shook her head, "Don't you think there are aspects that Alison is very similar to Gwyne?"

Ryan immediately understood what Nicole meant. Speaking of which, their sister, although smart and sensible, has common problems with most wealthy girls. In terms of her flexibility and skillful methods, she can get rid of Gwyneth Paltrow's three streets.

"This is the key to the problem."

As if he understood what Ryan was thinking, Nicole said worriedly, "A girl like this is generally not popular with the opposite sex. Alison has never dated anyone yet, and has teased several boys who dared to pursue her with Christine. I am really worried..."

"Okay, my dear." Ryan held Nicole's hand hard, "You're thinking too much, high IQ does not mean low EQ."

"I hope so."

Taylor's emotional intelligence seemed to have some problems in his previous life, but his living environment and personality have changed in this life. I believe that those messy things will not happen again.

When they entered Burbank City, the car did not go to the Disney building, but went directly to Warner Studios. Ryan and Nicole changed into electric cars and drove slowly towards Studio 32.

The films shot here have little to do with Ryan and Disney. Although many major Hollywood manufacturers announced their participation due to Iran's attack, in fact, 90% of the funds still come from Nicole's Kidman Studio, and the investment in the film itself is not very high.

When you walk into the studio, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the green screen everywhere and dozens of red pants standing on the green screen. In order to shoot this film, the main actors including Gerald Butler and Michael Fassbender conducted half a year of fitness training and developed quite exaggerated muscles. With the modification of the later special effects, these tough men are enough to attract many viewers.

Xerxes I on the other side is quite ugly, especially in the eyes of people like Ryan, who are more ugly and evil than in the previous life films. This is also considered Hollywood's revenge on Iran. Who made the Persians the ancestors of most Iranians today?

As for whether the Iranians will protest after the film is released, Ryan doesn't mind another large-scale smear operation. In the eyes of most Westerners, Iran is one of the veritable evil sources of the world.

This is a film led by Nicole. Although the producer's name was included, Ryan did not mean to point fingers. In the spare time of filming, he basically listened to Nicole exchanging opinions with director Zach Schneider.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" does not have any outdoor shots, and all the pictures will be completed in front of the green screen in the studio. The background is added through post-production and replacement. Most of the actors' action scenes are showing their muscles with full potential, and the difficulty is not even as good as "The Hunger Games".

After all, this film focuses more on post-production.

“The production cost of the video is $65 million.”

Sitting in the chair in the lounge area, Nicole held a coffee cup and said to Ryan, "This is the movie I have invested in the most. If it weren't for the help of the Iranians, I'm afraid there would be a similar amount of publicity."

"So, we need such an opponent." Ryan laughed.

No matter what, the Iranian public opinion attacks have done a good job in promoting "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". After the film was launched, it also maintained a certain topic through various publicity methods and never left the public's sight.

If the federal government and Iran have some conflicts or conflicts when it is released next year, it will undoubtedly add to the propaganda. At that time, it will definitely not be difficult to attract audiences to the theater under the banner of resisting the evil Persians.

These propaganda methods are common to Hollywood, as long as they can generate sufficient profits.

Compared with other production and distribution companies, Disney's bottom line in publicity is a little higher because the main acceptance group is teenagers. However, after so many years of operation, Disney has summarized many effective methods in promoting teenagers, which have created favorable conditions for the big sale of Disney's movies.

Among the four major productions released during the summer season, the theaters of "X-Men 3: The Battle Against the Way" are only double-digits left, and the box office in North America should eventually stay at around $285 million; the theaters of "Mrs. Smiths" are also very few, and the box office of more than $197 million has almost reached its limit. If Brad Pitt doesn't take action, the box office in North America will definitely not exceed $200 million.

Similarly, after the Hunger Games' North American box office struggled to cross the $430 million mark, the market potential was completely exhausted, and it was only a matter of time before the downgrade was reduced.

The only thing that can still make a difference in theaters is "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Coffin". After the film received a North American box office of $350 million, the weekly box office dropped to seven figures, and it will be accumulated by time.

According to the development trend of overseas box office, the global box office of "X-Men 3: Battle Against the Way" and "Smiths" will eventually be around $550 million and $400 million respectively, and it is impossible to recover costs through box office. Although it is not difficult to achieve profitability through various peripheral products, the later full copyright operation will directly affect the profit figure.

Large media groups can operate through the entire industrial chain, which has huge advantages in this regard. Disney is a media group that uses film and television and related industries as its core business, which is even more huge.

According to estimates from relevant departments under Disney, these two films can each bring at least nearly US$100 million in net profits within two years through the copyrights of the later stages.

The global box office of "The Hunger Games" barely exceeded US$600 million. The current growth rate is very slow. Even Ryan has no confidence in whether he can exceed US$700 million in the end. However, the problem of this film is not that much, and the surrounding area is completely profitable.

In addition to popular novels and Mockingbird Brooch, Disney also gave the copyright of the comic to Marvel Comics. The latest "The Hunger Games" comic was also launched in mid-July. Although the sales volume is not very good, it is not particularly bad, and it can always bring six-figure profits.

As for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Cauldron", although it is difficult to surpass "The Hunger Games" in North America, it completely crushed the latter in the overseas market. It has achieved more than 700 million US dollars in less than 30 days of release. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the first movie this year to have a global box office of more than 1 billion US dollars.

As August begins, the North American market is gradually cooling down, but Disney launches another big production at the beginning of the month as usual.
