Chapter 725: Leonidas at the Hot Springs Pass
After coming out of the gym, Ryan went back to the room to take a shower, changed into a loose casual outfit, and then he swayed down the first floor along the regular stairs. But just walked into the living room, what happened on the couch almost made him widen his eyes. It seems that the difference between Scarlett and Natalie is far from being described by ** now, right?
On the long leather sofa, Scarlett pressed Natalie completely underneath. The distance between the two faces was infinitely zero. The four pink lips seemed to touch each other at any time.\(23)(wx)
"Hey, can you do it?"
Gale Gado, sitting cross-legged on the single sofa, flipping the script repeatedly, "Because it is impossible to grasp in the real world, Nina reshaped Lily in the spiritual world. In her imagination, Lily, who has a same-sex relationship with her, appeared."
She deliberately emphasized her tone on ‘homosexual love’.
As soon as Gale Gado finished speaking, Scarlett lowered his head and kissed Natalie. Ryan happened to see all this and couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Cough~"
He deliberately coughed hard, these three guys!
Scarlett looked up slowly, glanced here, and slowly got up from the sofa. Gale Gado waved the script at Ryan, "We are rehearsing, and several rival scenes between Nat and Scar are very important."
After walking over, Ryan sat on the single sofa opposite Gale Gado. He first looked at Scarlett, and then looked at Natalie. "Scarlett, your first task is to make yourself look thinner."
"Hey, hey. hey..."
The little fat girl's tone was exactly the same as Taylor, "Ryan, do you mean I'm very fat?"
She couldn't help but sit on the couch in anger. Natalie, who was standing up next to her, gently patted her back, "Ska, you are going to play a ballerina and you must lose some weight."
Her eyes floated secretly through Scarlett's chest, but were keenly captured by the fat girl. "Nate, the problem with the breast can be solved with silicone breasts."
"But what about here?" Natalie couldn't help but pat her thigh.
"Okay. OK." Scarlett shrugged helplessly, "I can diet and exercise. Didn't you say you have to spend four to five months practicing ballet? Time is too late."
"By the way, Nat." Gale Gado put the script aside and asked with concern, "Have you found the right ballet choreographer and coach?"
"There are friends... well..." Natalie looked at Ryan, "It was my roommate at Harvard University. She introduced me to one. If the negotiations can be made, Gale, Scarlett, you are going to move to New York for the time being."
"We are a film that is striving for the Oscars." Scarlett gently rubbed Natalie's thigh that was hurt by the pain. "Dance is a very critical part of the film, especially for you, Nat. Is he okay?"
"The other party seems to be the principal dancer and choreographer of the New York City Ballet." Natalie recalled, "It should be impossible to make a mistake. Anyway, you will see it in a few days."
"You really have to spend three to four months practicing ballet?" Ryan finally had the chance to interrupt.
"I've been kidnapped into Hollywood by you..."
Before the joke was finished, Natalie laughed herself. "I gave up ballet. I have been more than ten years. I have forgotten almost everything I learned before. Although I still have some basic skills and can also take advantage of photography and editing, I want to prepare more."
"If that's the case..." Ryan pinched his chin, "The video will definitely not be able to catch up with this year's awards season."
"Then it's going to be better next year." Scarlett put his arms around Natalie's shoulder, "Anyway, we don't care about waiting for an extra year."
"I remember no one who was born in the 1980s has won the Oscar for Best Actress, right?" Gale Gado patted his head, "Not many people were nominated."
"Ska has been nominated." Natalie threw the little fat girl's hand back.
"It's a pity that it's too difficult to win the award." Scarlett curled his lips, "My character is becoming more and more commercial now. Surprisedly, I just gave me the script of "Iron Man 2". There are more scenes in Black Widow than Gwyne's heroine."
"Ska."
Hearing surprise, Ryan remembered the email exchanges some time ago, "The surprise side has planned. After "Avengers", a separate "Black Widow" movie will be released."
"The villain in the film is also a female character, right?" The person who asked was Gale Gado. The villain in "Wonder Woman 2" she just finished filming is still the female character of Leopard.
"It should be a woman in the remnant of Hydra."
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Scarlett waved his fist hard, "You must pull Alison to be the villain. I will beat her hard in the video!"
This was like gritting his teeth, as if Scarlett suffered a great grievance on Taylor's side.
"What happened between you?" Natalie suddenly turned around and looked over.
"Have you quarreled again?" Ryan asked curiously.
Since the day we met, these two people have been making noises, far more than him and Natalie when they were young.
"Ah... nothing." Scarlett shook his head quickly, "We rarely quarrel. I just think she always likes to bully me, so I want to vent my anger in the movie."
"Then wait until Jingqi takes out the script before talking about it."
Ryan shook his head. It would be abnormal if these two people were quiet.
"Ryan, we will stay in New York most of the next six months." Scarlett stood up and stretched his waist. "You will come to visit the set often, right?"
"Dear, I think you have forgotten one thing." Ryan leaned over to get the script that was placed on the coffee table by Gale Gado. "I will not only play a screenwriter and producer, but also play a role in it."
"Is that true?" Scarlett turned to look at Natalie, "Why don't I know?"
"Maybe I forgot to tell you." Natalie looked at the living room wall clock, walked to Ryan and pulled him up, "It's getting late, let's go out for lunch."
"Okay." Ryan walked to the shoe cabinet and changed his slippers, "Where to go?"
"Gal..." Natalie asked Gael Gado, who had just stood up, "What about your opinion?"
"Just Mr. Zhou's restaurant is ready." She didn't refuse and suggested directly, "There is still close. You don't want to go to Los Angeles because of eating, right?"
"Just Mr. Zhou's restaurant is ready." Scarlett also echoed.
The four of them took a car and left this luxurious residential area in North Hollywood and headed towards Laurel Valley Avenue.
Not only Natalie and Scarlett, after becoming popular through "Wonder Woman", Gale Gado also settled his Los Angeles residence in North Hollywood. Although unlike Natalie and Scarlett are close neighbors, they are not far from them.
Several Mr. Zhou’s restaurants in the Greater Los Angeles area are frequented by Hollywood celebrities. After entering the restaurant, many conspicuous places are accompanied by photos of restaurant managers or employees with some Hollywood stars. Where Ryan and the four of them sit down, you can clearly see the most conspicuous place, a copy of a famous painting is hung.
"I didn't expect Nicole to do the movie commercials here."
While waiting for the meal, Scarlett looked at the painting and muttered in a low voice. Gale Gado, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What advertisement? Isn't that famous painting in the Louvre? It should be a copy?"
"Leonida is in the Hot Spring Pass." Natalie played with the tea cup in her hand and took the initiative to take over the topic. "This is a group of famous paintings in the Louvre after Mona Lisa. It tells the story of the Spartan king Leonida leading 300 Spartan warriors to fight against the Persian invasion at the Hot Spring Pass."
Ryan also saw the huge replica of the famous painting, the biggest difference from the Louvre Central Plains. This painting has a striking '300' word, which is the name of the upcoming movie Kidman Studio.
Perhaps seeing Natalie is not afraid to discuss such a topic, Gale Gado said, "This is the movie that was filmed because of the protests of the Iranian government?"
She is a standard Israeli, "After the film is released, I will definitely go to the theater to support it."
"Let's go watch the imax version together." Scarlett squeezed his eyes at Natalie. There was no scruple between them. "Although there is no 3D version, the video has released the imax version."
"Last-time conversion?" Natalie asked, and Ryan nodded, "It's a late-time conversion, but the effect is relatively good."
This film does not use any outdoor scenes, and all the shots are shot in front of the green screen in the studio. "Spartan 300 Warriors" can be said to be like "Star Wars Prequel", which is the result of pushing blue and green screen technology and computer CG animation technology to the extreme.
During the promotion, in addition to the trailer, the film also released a filming behind-the-scenes footage. A group of tough guys with upper body fought desperately in the studio. Comparing the finished product with the actual situation during the shooting will create a huge contrast, which aroused the curiosity of a lot of viewers.
It is worth mentioning that the film has maintained a certain topic since "Argo" triggered the confrontation between the Iranian government and Hollywood. Although the federal government's aircraft carrier formation has long been withdrawn, the Iranian nuclear issue has become increasingly prominent in the past two years. There are several rounds of six-party talks between the five major rogue countries and Iran every year, and the relationship between the United States and Iran is still very tense.
As the publisher, Jenkins Film, naturally dragged Iran out again during publicity and attracted a lot of attention. As for the Iranian government's ideas, is that important?
In addition, Jenkins Film and Kidman Studios also used all favorable factors to promote, such as the famous painting in the Louvre, and the epic hero who made Leonida an unhesitant to fight against the tyrants...
Besides, in the history that is popular in the West, Leonida is indeed a hero. (To be continued...)
