The stones fell like a torrential rain. An ugly and evil giant robot climbed up the pyramid, opened its serrated mouth, and sucked a large number of stones into its mouth like a water-absorbing whale, then pulled it out from behind its butt, destroying the spire of the pyramid almost instantly.

In front of the monitor, Ryan, Michael Bay and others sat on a chair, watching the special effects scene produced by Industrial Light and Magic seriously.

This is a special effect that has been completed in "Transformers 2", which can clearly see the advancements in industrial light and magic technology, and the picture is more realistic and smoother than the previous one.

"Good job." Ryan agreed and pointed his chin, then pointed at Hercules on the screen and asked, "Michael, can you tell me why is a pair of iron balls hanging between Hercules' legs?"

"You know, Ryan." Michael Bey didn't feel anything and said frankly. "Arcy was added to the second part, which means that Transformers also have gender distinctions..."

“Is this the sign to distinguish gender?”

Resisting the urge to roll your eyes, Ryan said helplessly, "."

"Why didn't Optimus Prime distinguish them in the first part?" he asked again.

"Actually..." Michael Bay pointed out directly, "Ryan, if you observe carefully, they are still sexually traits."

When Ryan heard the words of the explosion, he couldn't help but feel ache. He didn't pay attention to this. It seemed that most movie fans didn't pay attention either, otherwise he and Michael Bay would definitely be flooded with the saliva of hardcore pink.

Ryan had no intention of interfering. From the second part, he completely threw the series to the Autobot Studio and Michael Bay. The box office of this special effects movie that gathered a large number of fans is not a problem in the short term. Anyway, the selling point of the film is not the plot logic or connotation.

Special effects films have become mainstream films in theaters not only the needs of the audience, but are also inseparable from external conditions.

Nowadays, the window period for a film from being released to entering home entertainment is getting shorter and shorter, and the popularity of the Internet and DVD players has given the audience more channels to appreciate the film, especially the increasingly larger TV sets at home, which can to some extent partially replace the big screen, and the comfort of watching movies at home is much better than that of cinemas.

But there is a kind of video that is temporarily irreplaceable for family entertainment, and that is, a video with special effects as its biggest selling point. Today's family entertainment cannot perfectly present the special effects of the big screen.

Of course, this is just an external reason. The main reason why the viewing group, mainly teenagers, like this kind of film. This group of people are different from their parents. They rarely pay attention to illusory things like connotation when watching movies. What they pursue is enough cheerfulness.

Hollywood blockbusters can sweep the world, which means they have firmly grasped this mainstream audience.

From the people in charge of the project by Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan learned that the pair of iron balls was completely Michael Bay's idea, and even the entire Hercules were designed according to his requirements. He could not guess whether this was the evil taste of the explosion.

Later, Ryan met the contact officer of the Pentagon crew here. The Ministry of National Defense was not very satisfied with the performance of the US military in the film. Although it was not very satisfied, it was acceptable. According to the video's settings, the US military still killed many Decepticons. Even if it was a weak version of Decepticons bred by Red Spider, it was an alien, right?

"Ryan."

Walking out of the Industrial Light and Magic's studio, Michael Bey asked very seriously, "You really plan to give up starring in the third part."

“Yes. Michael.”

Nodding, Ryan made a gesture to him that you understand, "I will have the Avengers next. I will also collaborate with Miss Portman for a new work, and I have also prepared a magic masterpiece for myself..."

"I hope the fans won't give up on this series." Michael Bay was still a little worried.

"Transformers are the biggest selling point, isn't it?" Ryan was not worried at all. He turned into the cafe inside Industrial Light and Magic with Blast, found a place to sit down, and continued, "You can let Mikara or others continue to play the leading role. The reason why Sam disappeared is also easy to explain. You can concentrate on completing your college studies, be kicked by Mikara, or die directly."

"Let's leave these to the screenwriter for a headache." Michael Bell's biggest feature is that he rarely participates in screenwriters.

Ryan believes that as long as Optimus Prime is still there, the film will definitely not have a huge impact on the box office because of changing the protagonist. For this type of film, the protagonist is actually more like a symbol, and its weight is far less important than Optimus Prime. When he promised Michael Bell, most of the few emotions left in his previous life were at work.

This time when I came to Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan did not meet George Lucas. He went out to film "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" with Spielberg's crew. Unlike the Transformers series, this series strives to restore the original flavor. The special effects rely more on props rather than cgi.

However, the screenwriter of the film is George Lucas...

OK, George Lucas still has considerable skills in the big setting, just don't involve detailed emotional scenes.

Until now, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala are still typical of the classic couple in the film. That bloody love is because of the innate setting shortcomings, even if Ryan and Natalie play it, it still makes people unable to look at it directly.

As for the entire Lucasfilm, Disney is still digesting DreamWorks animation studio. When the time is right, Ryan will make someone test George Lucas' attitude personally.

Of course, there are also many shareholders of Lucasfilm.

Like all major Hollywood production companies, Lucasfilm's stake composition is complex, and even George Lucas himself is not the largest shareholder.

Leaving San Francisco, where Industrial Light and Magic is located, Ryan did not follow Michael Bay to the Autobots studio. Now the entire Transformers series is completely on track. Although the revenue figure has been declining as the first film is released far and the revenue figure has been declining, the film can still bring about $20 million in revenue to Disney every month. After the second film is released, it will definitely hit another peak in revenue.

Not to mention anything else, for Ryan himself alone, "Transformers" brought him nearly $100 million in pay and share.

It was already afternoon when Ryan went straight to a fine restaurant near Century City, where he made an appointment with Peter Jackson for dinner.

"Hi, Ryan."

"Hi, Peter."

After shook hands, several people sat in the seat next to the window. Ryan made a gesture to the menu, "Congratulations, you've been losing weight successfully."

"You don't know how hard it was." Peter Jackson ordered only a few vegetarian dishes. "I haven't eaten meat in half a year."

After ordering a few randomly, Ryan closed the meal recipe, said thank you to the waiter, turned his head and said to Peter Jackson, "Do you want to play Guru?"

"It would be better to kill me if that."

Although there has not been much contact in recent years, the friendship established during the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" is still there, and the two of them are also casual. As for the agent of Caa who accompanied Peter Jackson, Ryan just nodded politely and did not say much to him.

Caa occupies half of Hollywood's market, but is not the dominant one. This is not the Hollywood and Caa when Michael Orwitz were in charge. They have long lost their initiative in front of six major companies. Moreover, Disney is notoriously not working with Caa very much. Most of the actors launched by Disney come from KK agency, which is not a secret in Hollywood.

This is a business meeting, and the meal is just a form. Ryan and his friends tasted the dishes in the restaurant briefly and put down their knife and fork.

"Peter, do you have any plans to shoot a movie recently?"

Without any politeness, Ryan went straight to the topic, "I remember you took a long vacation."

"I did a global trip with my family." Peter Jackson also understood that Ryan was definitely not as simple as having a meal when he found himself.

"Are you interested in continuing to work together?" Ryan turned the coffee cup in his hand, "Disney is ready to start preparing for the Hobbit."

"This..." Peter Jackson looked at his agent and seemed a little embarrassed. "I have a new film to be filmed, and it also takes time to consider it. Ryan, look..."

"It's okay." Ryan just revealed that meaning. Peter Jackson is the first choice, but not the only one. "You have plenty of time to think about it, but I hope to get good news."

"If I make a decision," Peter Jackson said extremely seriously, "I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

At this point, Ryan put it aside. Peter Jackson is the guarantee of this series and is not indispensable. This is Hollywood, and countless people are talented and waiting for opportunities.

He changed the subject and talked about the scenery of New Zealand with Peter Jackson. It really left a deep impression on him and was also a place to fall in love with Charlize Theron.

The dinner ended less than an hour after it was announced, and he refused the invitation from the agent's party. Ryan took a bus and left downtown Los Angeles. Peter Jackson might refuse, but he was not worried that "The Hobbit" was just a long-term plan and was not in a hurry to establish a project.

Also, "King Kong" has dispersed his halo a lot. When the next film is frustrated, the New Zealand director will figure it out that after leaving Tolkien's works, he is just a very ordinary member of Hollywood's first-line directors, rather than a super director after "The Lord of the Rings".

Originally, Ryan wanted to go to North Hollywood, but when he thought of Mrs. Shelley, who had a knife-like vision, he had to give up this idea.

Because of him, Natalie's relationship with her parents is not very good. I believe Mrs. Shelly would not say good things about him in front of Natalie. Judging from the meaning Natalie revealed on the phone, it may be more appropriate to use her mind to break them apart. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
