Chapter seven hundred and fifty seventh action star

The end of the Oscars ceremony means the end of another awards season in Hollywood. When the media seized the last heat of the Oscars and made another hype, Hollywood seemed much quieter.

The agents running in Burbank and Beverly Hills disappeared, and the business staff of professional public relations companies entered a dormant period. Celebrities of all sizes continued to be indulged in luxury and busy, waiting for the next awards season to arrive.

In this year's Oscar Feast of Dividing the Cake, Walt Disney's films performed poorly, relying on "Transformers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" to win the best visual effects and the best artistic direction respectively.

As for what Ryan once said to use Transformers to win a nomination for Michael Bay for the best director, it is destined to be a silly talk between him and Natalie.

After March, as the temperature rose rapidly, the hydrangeas and magnolia trees planted in Jenkins Manor bloomed one after another, and other flowering trees and plants became colorful, embellishing the wide vestibule and back garden to be particularly charming. If you walk there, you really feel like you have entered the sea of ​​flowers and plants.

After several years of transformation by Charlize Theron, the manor, which was originally dominated by palm trees and hydrangea, has become more diverse and the scenery has become more charming.

In the past few days from Dubai to Los Angeles, except for the time he was entangled with Ryan, Charlize often took him to walk in the garden, and even designed a women's long dress based on several strangely shaped hydrangeas.

"It's a pity that Alison is not here."

Sitting in Ryan's arms, Charlize looked through the window at the flowerbed full of hydrangeas, "This is her favorite flower."

"She's on the U.S. tour." She adjusted her body in the soft chair so that Charlize would feel more comfortable, Ryan said, "She won't be back to Los Angeles in the short term."

"I heard that Alison's concert averaged more than 95 percent."

Hearing Charlize's words, Ryan grabbed her hand and kissed her. "She has great appeal among the crowd born in the 1990s."

"Wait until I finish this time." Charlize kissed Ryan's lips back, "I'll go and help her."

Speaking of this, she suddenly turned the topic to the just-concluded Oscar, "Our votes were all for "The Walker of the Skies". Will they repay this favor next time?"

"At the celebration party." Ryan nodded slightly, "Martin and Stephen have expressed their full support for Disney's video next year."

"Black Swan?" Charlize naturally understood what the film that will hit next year's Oscars will be.

"Yes." Ryan admitted directly.

"Best Director or Best Actress?" she asked again.

"Best Actress." Ryan pinched Charlize's erect nose. "It's too difficult for a female director to win the best director without the help of some other aspects."

"Why...then...this is the case." Charlize's eyes turned, "In the future, Miss Portman will be the director. Miss Kidman and I will be the heroine, and then you will be the hero, and we will be in a movie together. What do you think of this idea?"

"This is a good idea." Ryan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "It's very difficult to achieve it."

"Are you worried that we will fight?" Charlize smiled and turned his head, then kissed him on the lips. "Even if we really do it, our goal will be you."

"I've seen Sandy," she said suddenly, "very cute."

"When?" Ryan asked strangely. "Why don't I know?"

"At the end of last year, Gwyne moved back to Los Angeles," Charlize explained simply, "I went to her party, and met Sandy in Elpur's room."

Ryan understood that last year Nicole went to London to help him with some of Harry Potter's affairs, and temporarily entrusted Sandy to Gwyneth's care.

"I want to be her godmother," Charlize said again.

"Dear." Ryan said helplessly, "Sonny already has five nominal godmothers: Drew Judy, Gwyne, and Kate Nami..."

"None of us are devout believers," Charlize said without much care. "It doesn't matter if there is one more."

"Okay." Ryan sighed softly, "I will mention this to Nicole."

"And, Ryan."

It seems that I haven't seen you for too long. Charlize has said a lot these days, "I read the new script you wrote yesterday."

“Which?”

"The one about the monster."

Pulling over a chair next to him, Charlize sat opposite Ryan and said seriously, "I think this script is very suitable for us. You play Arthas Minaihill, Nicole Kidman and I can choose between Jaina Proudmore and Sylvanas Windrunner, but I don't know if Miss Portman can control such a magical epic."

After saying that, she laughed.

Ryan smiled first, then fell into thinking.

He has completed the script of the first part of the Warcraft series for a long time, but has not started to prepare. First, he wants to wait for the game to have greater influence, and second, there are too few movies that have been successfully adapted in the past and present life.

It can be said that apart from the Resident Evil series, there is no game adaptation that can be greatly successful.

Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to say that World of Warcraft is the world's largest online game. It has a large group of players. After "The Burning Expedition" was launched, "The Wrath of the Lich King" is also under development. In the next two to three years, this series will fully meet all the conditions for adapting into a movie.

Perhaps, Charlize's proposal is also good?

However, with Natalie's level, it is not a big problem to shoot literary and artistic movies, but such a commercial masterpiece does require her to be more mature, especially in which it involves a large number of group scenes.

In fact, Ryan has a big concern, and to some extent, Arthas Minaihill and Anakin Skywalker are somewhat similar.

The same young genius, the young people are proud; the same beauties depend on each other; the same bright hope, the future of the country; the same betrayal of his own organization and destroy it; the same wearing a cool helmet and a cool armor; the same was deceived by the monster uncle and became his mortal enemy.

Even the Jedi and Silver Hand belong to both are very similar.

They are all military forces developed by religious groups, using the most basic and mysterious forces in the universe - the Force and Holy Light. They are also attached to a country, but to be precise, they are not part of this country...

So, although the first draft of the script was completed, Ryan was still thinking and revising it.

Strictly speaking, if it weren't for the background of Star Wars, even if it weren't for his role as Anakin Skywalker, he wouldn't be considered a very successful role, especially the transition from light to darkness, which would seem particularly abrupt.

This also has something to do with George Lucas's not good at scripts.

Therefore, in Ryan's conception, the focus of Arthas in the first part is the change of his thoughts. Unlike Anakin, he really wanted to protect Lordaeron, but because he could not save the death of the people and his fanatical pursuit of protecting the power of the kingdom, he went astray.

When he walked to the city of Stantam, the prince who vowed to protect the kingdom and people had no choice.

Could he really leave like the Knights of the Silver Hands and Jaina Prodmore?

The former is part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but they are loyal to the Holy Light first, not to mention the latter, that is the future queen of Kurtiras, and that is not her people in Stansom.

The script needs to be modified, and as for the final choice, Ryan also needs time to measure it.

They stayed in the room until late in the evening, and Ryan and Charlize changed into dresses, left Jenkins Manor by car, and went to the Four Seasons Hotel to participate in a charity fundraising event on children in Africa.

The event was hosted by the United Nations Refugee Agency. In addition to Hollywood celebrities, there were also many well-known figures in politics and business. The donations collected even exceeded 50 million US dollars that night.

"Hi Ryan, Charlie."

In the banquet hall, Ryan and Charlize shook hands with Drew Barrymore and Arnold Schwarzenegger who were walking over.

"Arnold, when will we promote reforms that are more favorable to Hollywood?" Ryan asked the current governor, "It's hard to see the crew in Hollywood and Burbank studios."

"You know, Ryan." Schwarzenegger and Charlize touched the glass and said before drinking. "Reform is not an easy task, and we face very much resistance."

He was not comfortable or even depressed as a governor.

"What about my proposal?" Drew suddenly interrupted, "I have already settled Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Bruce Willis."

"I have no problem either." Schwarzenegger's clear eyes swept across Ryan and Drew Barrymore, "but I want to declare that I can only play guest roles."

"no problem."

After Drew responded, Schwarzenegger said sorry and went to the other side to socialize.

"So." Charlize immediately understood what they were saying, "Drew, your long-planned action movie is about to begin."

"Can you convince them to play the four of them to cut their salaries." Drew Barrymore looked at Schwarzenegger's back as he walked away, "It's much easier for the rest of them."

For second- and third-rate action stars like Longgell, Jet Lee, Terry Cruise, there is no more or less, and it doesn’t matter if there is one more or less.

"Where is the director and the script?" Ryan asked.

"The director is tentatively set to be Sylvester Stallone." Drew roughly understood what Ryan meant, "I rejected Stallone's proposal to write the script himself. I have contacted Jenkins Films, and the screenwriter team will create a suitable script."
