Chapter 301 The Last Banner of the Original Movie
Three days later, Ronan signed a formal contract with Christian Bale on behalf of the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
The contract was signed in the office building of Warner Studios, and no media was invited to participate. The crew just issued an announcement using the official blog.
Compared to Johnny Depp, Christian Bale is much less famous, and correspondingly, the pay is also low.
Christian Bale also signed a trilogy contract with the crew, with the first film paying $1 million.
In the office, the two parties signed a contract, and Ronan shook hands with Christian Bale: "Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation." Christian Bale shook Ronan's hand vigorously.
Ronan said directly: "I hope you can join the crew this week."
Christian Bale said: "No problem."
Ronan sent Christian Bale away and his agent Patrick Whitesel, returned to the office and saw the crew's nutritionist and fitness engineer based on Christian Bale's physical condition.
As we all know, sudden weight and sudden weight loss can harm the body, and scientific plans must be formulated.
According to the nutritionist, Christian Bale's stomach atrophy was a little bit shrunk because of filming "American Mental Patients" to control weight. He needed to adjust his diet as soon as possible.
After joining the crew, Christian Bale needs to eat five meals a day, and the food is mainly high-calorie foods such as pizza and ice cream.
For most people, gaining weight first and then practicing muscles is definitely a very painful process.
Before signing the contract, Ronan talked about this with Christian Bale. Bale said that he really wanted to challenge himself whether he could do it and was addicted to this process.
Ronan believes Christian Bale can do it.
In his previous life, he had read news reports on this area because of the Batman trilogy.
At that time, Bell took on "The Mechanic". The character in the play asked "to look like he hasn't been sleeping for a year." Relying on hunger and a lot of physical energy to consume exercise, Bell lost 63 pounds in 2 weeks. He originally planned to lose 100 pounds, but the doctor warned him that if he loses weight, he might die young, so Bell stopped his terrible body shaping training.
Having just ended his extreme challenge, Bale received the role of Batman. As a superhero without superpowers, Batman needs to keep his physical strength at its peak at all times, which means that in the shortest time, Bale will transform from a weak sick man into a muscle-filled superhero...
As for the results, anyone who has watched "Batman" knows it.
In the afternoon of the same day, the agent of a small company that Brian Lord contacted came to Warner Studios with dozens of ordinary actors. Ronan took the time to see it in person. He was extremely satisfied with the efficiency of Caa's work. These actors were all distorted and had a very distinctive appearance.
He has a very unique appearance, and when taking makeup and styling during shooting, it is definitely unforgettable.
The pirates who stay on the sea all year round must be dirty and smelly.
He has a pretty appearance and white skin and delicate skin. Is he still called a pirate?
Ronan specially arranged for the styling department to let some of them take makeup auditions, and the effect was quite good.
These people not only have outstanding appearances, but also have beautiful faces in the world. Most of them have been in Hollywood for many years and have good acting skills.
Ronan arranged for an associate producer to discuss cooperation with the other party in detail. As a pirate actor on the Black Pearl, they also wanted to sign a trilogy contract.
In this way, a group of very distinctive pirates can be guaranteed.
However, the skin of these actors is still too white, tender and delicate.
Ronan had already thought of a good idea. After signing the contract, when these actors were preparing, they would go to the studio's huge sand and gravel-like open-air set, and they had to be under the sun.
After being exposed to several months, they will ensure that their skin will become darker and rougher.
Also, you can say hello to Gore Vibinsky. When filming, the actors' costumes will be worn under the sun on the open-air set for three days. No one is allowed to take off or clean them. Moreover, all actors are not allowed to take a shower during these three days.
Make sure everyone is smelly.
Typical first-line costumes such as this must meet the background of that era.
In the era when pirates in the Caribbean were rampant, it was difficult to take a bath every day, shave every day, blow on your hair, then is it still a pirate? Who can expect a group of pirate outlaws to smile with eight teeth, shine and dazzling?
Not only clothes, but also styling.
The stylist has long submitted plans and reports to Ronan. Pirate makeup does not cover the defects on the face, nor does it make the skin smooth and white, but highlights the rough and tough lines and shows the masculine and wild beauty that men should have the most.
The reason why Hollywood movies do this is actually consistent with the aesthetics of the entire society. Ronan reads it in a very famous book about film style, saying that so far, the aesthetics of Westerners are still worshipping the wild primitive charm in the atmosphere of the industrial era.
In other words, the mainstream of society still likes the wild beauty of muscles.
In fact, it can be seen from the situation of Hollywood first-line stars that, regardless of gender, rough types occupy the vast majority, and there are very few exquisite and beautiful ones.
At the end of the busy day, Ronan left the office and followed the stairs to the first floor lobby. He was about to go to the studio to take a look, but he met a very familiar person in the lobby.
This man is about thirty years old, with golden brown hair combed into a big part. At first glance, his hairstyle looks a bit like Liu Kuisheng.
Ronan's eyes fell on the other party, and the other party also noticed him.
Since he met, Ronan took the initiative to walk over and asked, "Are you director Christopher Nolan?"
"I'm." Christopher Nolan didn't know Ronan and looked here in confusion: "May I ask, you are..."
Ronan introduces himself: "Ronan Anderson, a producer."
Christopher Nolan was moved in an instant and said quickly: "Hello, Mr. Anderson. I have seen "The God of Death" and "The Human Purge Plan" you made."
Ronan shook hands with Christopher Nolan and said, "I have also seen "Memory Fragments" you filmed."
Christopher Nolan said, "It's my honor." He looked at Ronan: "I didn't expect Mr. Anderson to be so young."
Ronan smiled: "Director Nolan is also young and promising."
At the age of thirties, you can direct and shoot theater movies, and you definitely deserve this praise.
Christopher Nolan had heard of Ronan and said modestly: "Not as good as Mr. Anderson."
There were not many people in the hall. The two stood near the door and chatted for a while. Ronan said, "I was very impressed by "Memory Fragments". The narrative technique is a masterpiece. After watching the video, I have always wanted to meet director Nolan, but I didn't expect to meet here today."
Christopher Nolan thought of Ronan's identity as a producer and film company owner and said with a smile: "I'll be at Warner Studios lately, and we may encounter it often in the future."
Ronan asked at the right time: "Are you busy working in the studio? A new movie project?"
Christopher Nolan replied: "In the late stage of a new movie."
Ronan asked tentatively: "Can you know what project it is?"
Christopher Nolan thought for a moment and said: "A suspense film about a murder in Alaska, based on an old Norwegian film."
Ronan has seen all the videos of Christopher Nolan, and after hearing what he said, he immediately guessed that it should be "White Night Chase" adapted from the old Norwegian film "Insomnia".
"When will it be done?" Ronan said deliberately: "I hope I can see this movie soon."
Christopher Nolan was able to receive such great support from Legend Pictures and Warner Bros. in his previous life, in addition to his talent, he was also a matter of dealing with people. He immediately said to Ronan: "When the film was completed, Mr. Anderson is welcome to participate."
Ronan responded: "I must be there."
Christopher Nolan asked quickly: "Your contact information..."
Ronan took out his business card and handed it to Christopher Nolan, saying, "This is my private phone call."
Christopher Nolan solemnly put away his personal business card and handed Ronan one, saying, "I will notify you of the video."
Ronan nodded slightly and said, "Director Nolan, I really like the style you expressed in "Memory Fragments". I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Christopher Nolan said very politely: "I hope to work with Mr. Anderson, too."
Having said that, Ronan basically achieved his goal. Before leaving, he said again: "Director Nolan, when you encounter difficulties in your future film projects or lack of funds, you can call me at any time."
Christopher Nolan, who is still a young director, attaches great importance to Ronan's words and said, "I will. Thank you Mr. Anderson for your kindness."
With his talent, he needs a lot of money and the full support of the film company if he wants to become an image on the big screen.
Christopher Nolan knew very well that meeting such a wealthy film company boss would not harm your future career.
Luo Nan nodded with a smile, then said a few more politely, and left the studio office building first.
It was also a surprise to meet Christopher Nolan here.
In his previous life, Christopher Nolan's most important partner was undoubtedly Legend Pictures and Warner Bros. Warner Bros. cannot be compared for the moment, but Legend Pictures...
Christopher Nolan was undoubtedly a top commercial film director, and in Hollywood adapted and sequel style, he even became the last banner of original big-scale films.
