"Orion Pictures going to make a Marvel superhero movie?"

In the reception room of the "Lord of the Rings" crew studio, Leonardo DiCaprio gasped heavily, his eyes fixed on Ryan.

Along the way, Leonardo DiCaprio almost jogged over, watching the crew of "Lord of the Rings" with strange expressions on their faces.

Fortunately, "Titanic" was a big hit at the global box office, and there were very few people who didn't know Leonardo DiCaprio. Not only did no one step forward to stop him, but they faintly wanted to ask for an autographed photo.

Ryan glanced at Leonardo DiCaprio who was out of breath, and then turned to look at a group of crew members outside the door, a little confused about the situation.

"Go, go, go back to work." Peter Jackson rushed forward.

"Charlie!"

Cindy Crawford, dressed as an elf, exposed most of her body from the door, "Remember to ask for an autographed photo for me."

As for Peter Jackson!

Subconsciously, she ignored it.

The crew has not yet officially filmed. Cindy Crawford is only trying on costumes. The crew will officially shoot in early June. The first "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" will be released in the summer of 2000.

Charlize Theron blinked, first glanced at Ryan, then at Leonardo DiCaprio, and then nodded to Cindy Crawford at the door. agreed to come down

Seeing the black lines on Ryan's face, his vigilance towards Leonardo DiCaprio suddenly rose to the highest point.

(It is said that during the "Titanic" audition, the girls in the entire building came to watch Leonardo DiCaprio.)

Seeing that Charlie nodded and agreed, Cindy Crawford turned and left contentedly.

Unable to bear it any longer, Peter Jackson walked to the door with a blank expression, closed the door with a bang, and finally calmed down.

"Ryan."

"What do you think of me!" Leonardo DiCaprio didn't seem to be affected by anything, and his attention was on Ryan.

"You mean "Blade Warrior"!" Ryan looked Leonardo DiCaprio up and down. He looks handsome and is very suitable for the role of a vampire. He can definitely make a cameo in the movie.

"It's not "Blade Warrior." Leonardo DiCaprio shook his head and said tentatively: "I think I am more suitable to play "Spider-Man."

It has to be said that the role of Spider-Man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is even the only superhero character in Marvel Comics that is comparable to Superman and Batman.

First, James Cameron recommended himself and wanted to direct "Spider-Man" himself, and he even wrote the script.

However, in the end, Ryan ruthlessly rejected it, and Cameron should go to prepare for the filming of "Avatar".

Leave Spider-Man to him and it could turn into a disaster.

Now add Leonardo DiCaprio in front of you.

"Orion Pictures has no plans to shoot "Spider-Man" for the time being."

Ryan then jokingly said, "However, Cameron is very interested in directing "Spider-Man" himself. If you have time, you can sit down and discuss the script together."

James Cameron!

Leonardo DiCaprio shuddered. "This is the worst news I've ever heard."

"He's going to turn the whole crew into a disaster."

Unless he's crazy, Leonardo DiCaprio will never work with James Cameron again, never.

After not staying for long, Leonardo DiCaprio left with a disappointed face. Before leaving, he promised Charlie that his assistant would send some autographed photos.

Ryan ignored this episode, and Leonardo DiCaprio is not suitable for "Spider-Man", not to mention the salary, his audience recognition is too high, and "Spider-Man" just doesn't What kind of audience recognition does the actor need.

Audiences need to recognize Spider-Man himself, not the actor who plays the character.

Similar to Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman in the previous life.

While being very popular with the audience, it made the film production company both happy and very headache.

It will be an inevitable problem to replace a new actor in the future.

But I have to say that whether it is Robert Downey Jr., or Scarlett Johansson and Gal Gadot, they all endow the characters with a unique charm.

"Wonder Woman" starring Gal Gadot sold 822 million US dollars worldwide, and I don't know how many people are stunned.

(Not "Wonder Woman 1984", which is so bad that the whole movie is almost useless except Gal Gadot's body value.)

With Leonardo DiCaprio gone, Ryan chatted with Peter Jackson about Lord of the Rings locations.

The shooting scale of "The Lord of the Rings" will be very large, and it will be necessary to shoot scenes in various places in New Zealand. For example, the Tongariro National Park, which is famous for its volcanic terrain on the North Island of New Zealand, will be the main location for the crew.

In addition, there is still a part that needs to be set up for shooting.

"Peter, it's best to keep the exterior scenes built by the crew for a long time."

Ryan opened a newly designed exterior construction drawing, "Orion Films has reached a cooperation agreement with the New Zealand government, and will permanently preserve some filming scenes of the crew as scenic spots."

This can be regarded as the first time that Orion Films has been engaged in the extension of the industrial chain in addition to the production and distribution business.

"No problem." Peter Jackson nodded, "It just needs to spend some more money."

Generally, the buildings built by the crew are used for temporary filming. Once the filming of the crew is over, they will be dismantled. The money and time required are much less than those of permanent buildings.

"Don't worry about money."

"The New Zealand government will provide certain financial compensation." Ryan is very satisfied with the various preferential policies offered by the New Zealand government.

It's a pity that after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy hits the big hits and New Zealand becomes a tourist mecca all over the world, the New Zealand government may not be so talkative.

Of course, compared to Canada, New Zealand will still be the first overseas shooting location of Orion Films for a long time to come, and someone in the company has even proposed to build a studio in Wellington.

Ryan felt that it was not the time yet, wasting funds on building a studio, and suppressed this matter.

At noon, the two main members of the crew had a hearty lunch together, which was considered a small gathering.

In the afternoon, when he returned to the crew of "Inception", Ryan needed to look at the outline of the training plan for several actors.

In fact, there are not many people who need to be trained, mainly Leonardo-DiCaprio, Charlize-Theron, Joseph-Gordon-Levy, the main actors of the film, and some stuntmen.

They have at least one month to receive some basic training, such as physical fitness, body flexibility and so on.

According to Ryan's plan, the filming time of "Inception" is about the same as that of "The Lord of the Rings". It is expected to start filming in early June and release in the summer next year.

Starting from this year's summer file, Orion Films will release a commercial blockbuster every year in the summer file.

Any ambitious Hollywood film company will never give up the sweet cake of summer vacation.

"Standby actors also need to pay attention to safety. I don't want any unexpected situation to happen when the crew is halfway through filming." Ryan looked at the training ground and couldn't help frowning.

The main actors and stunt doubles in the film not only trained separately, but also seemed to lack communication with each other.

"Change the way you train and have everyone train together, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlie and Nicole Kidman."

Ryan didn't bother to care about what other crews were like, but his crew would never allow anything like "Titanic" to happen.

At least on the surface, there must be an appearance of solidarity and love, including special effects stuntmen.

In the future, this will be a promotional selling point of the film.

As for what's going on in private, everyone knows what's going on.

Emma Thomas, one of the executive producers of the crew, nodded immediately, "I will notify them."

"How's the actor's schedule adjustment?" Ryan asked suddenly.

"As long as Nicole needs to slightly adjust the shooting time, in the second half of the year, she needs to play the heroine in "Eyes Wide Open", which is a film starring Mr. Cruise." Emma-Thomas replied.

"Try to focus on her scenes in the pre-shooting." Ryan agreed directly.

Situations like having other film appointments are very common.

If it wasn't for Ryan asking Helen to vacate the schedule of Charlize-Theron~www.wuxiaspot.com~, then during this period of time, she would have received at least three or four crew invitations.

This is not counting as an invitation to audition, otherwise he would have received a thick stack of scripts.

Not to mention, Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the hottest Hollywood stars at the moment, intends to invite more of his crew.

Of course, most of them are art films, and only a few are commercial films.

Many stars will try to win awards after they become popular, so some art film crews have a try attitude and will more or less send a script to some big-name stars.

Among them, Tom Cruise received the most, who made him drop his salary from time to time to appear in art films.

Ryan didn't leave the studio until the sun went down. After a busy day, he was inevitably a little tired.

He couldn't help asking about the preparations for the crew of "Inception", as well as the work of Orion Films, as well as the shooting progress, casting, director selection, script plot, etc. of each crew.

Far more tiring than ordinary directors.

Coming outside the parking lot, Ryan saw Nicole Kidman from a distance, with beautiful blond hair and fair to transparent skin, very recognizable.

"Hi Nicole."

"Why didn't you go to the bar together!" Ryan greeted Nicole-Kidman.

In the evening, Leonardo DiCaprio treated guests and invited many people to the bar for a drink.

"I'll go back and change a dress." Nicole Kidman said, pointing to the skirt which was quite stained.

"OK."

"Get in the car, I'll take you back together." Ryan took out the key and opened the car door, inviting Nicole Kidman to come up together.

"Thank you." Nicole Kidman said thank you, got into the car with her head down, sat on the co-pilot, and fastened her seat belt.
