Throughout July, Ryan spent almost all of the rest of the time in the Warner Bros. studio, except for occasional visual, physical, and spiritual enjoyments, as well as a meeting with Frank Pearson.

At the same time, "Inception", which was released for four weeks, has a North American box office of 240 million U.S. dollars and an overseas box office of 380 million U.S. dollars. The cumulative global box office of the film is as high as 620 million U.S. dollars.

The next screening period will continue to increase the box office. It is estimated that before the film is released, the North American box office will exceed 300 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office will exceed 400 million U.S. dollars.

Even the general public knows one thing, the global box office of 800 million US dollars is not necessarily an impossible number for "Inception".

Of course, the king of the summer file belongs to George Lucas and "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace". In less than 3 months since its release, there are only more than 1,600 theaters in North America still showing it.

The North American box office of the film has reached an astonishing over 400 million US dollars, the overseas box office has also reached more than 400 million US dollars, and the global box office has reached as high as 800 million US dollars.

Screenings of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" will continue in the coming months.

It can be said that throughout the summer, the vast majority of movie box office markets in the world are under the shadow of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" and "Inception", and the rest of the movies appear dim.

In addition, there is another person in the summer file who is also very dazzling, and that is Julia Roberts, who has just received a salary of 20 million US dollars.

On July 30, another film starring Julia-Roberts was released. Touchstone Films' "Runaway Bride" had a box office of 12 million US dollars on the first day.

In the three days of the first weekend, it earned $35.1 million in box office from North America.

This film once again proved Julia-Roberts' box office appeal and her commercial value in this summer's file.

However, the overseas distribution rights of "Runaway Bride" fell into the hands of Paramount, which made Ryan feel somewhat pity.

The original "Runaway Bride" had a North American box office of 152 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 157 million US dollars, and a global box office of more than 300 million US dollars.

Let the film production company and distribution company make a lot of money.

During this period, Julia Roberts definitely reached the pinnacle of her career, and even stood at the top of the Hollywood pyramid.

Many people in previous lives could not imagine how popular Julia Roberts was in the 1990s.

Her popularity in North America and Europe is comparable to that of Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Kim Carrey.

In the studio, Ryan was sitting on a chair, talking about another film released by Orion Films in the summer.

"The promotion of "Rush Hour 2" focuses on North America, Japan, and Southeast Asia. It is difficult for this film to be recognized by the European box office market. It is estimated that the overseas box office will not be too high." He was somewhat helpless.

Of course not too high, only relatively speaking, at least more than 100 million US dollars box office, there is no problem.

Hearing Ryan's words, Sofia Coppola did not look surprised. Not every film is "Inception", and the overseas box office is higher than the North American box office.

"This is an obvious problem, after all, the lead actor in this film is a Chinese and a black man."

"However, compared to Rush Hour 2," she continued, "There's more concern within Orion about Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider."

Hollywood is not without films with female protagonists, but action adventure movies are almost all male protagonists, such as Lucasfilm's "Indiana-Jones" series of films.

Hollywood has never had an action-adventure movie with a female lead, and it was based on a game.

The resulting risks are much higher than "Rush Hour 2".

In any case, "Rush Hour 2" is a sequel to a blockbuster movie, and the risks have been minimized.

Ryan couldn't help chuckling, "How many male viewers don't like beautiful, tall, **** beauties?"

"What's more, this is an action scene. During the fight, it can attract a lot of attention."

"That's right." Sofia Coppola glanced at Ryan and said meaningfully, "For example, you are one of them."

"Okay, I admit, you're right." Ryan stood up and stretched his waist, "Okay, Sophia, let Annie know and get ready to start filming."

"End early, the crew can celebrate tonight."

The filming of "X-Men" still has the last few scenes left, which is much faster than Ryan expected. It is estimated that before the release of "Rush Hour 2", the crew can finish filming.

"You can ask Natalie to come with you." Ryan seemed to think of Natalie Portman, who has been relatively free recently.

The release of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" has indeed brought a lot of heat to Natalie Portman, but there is still a long way to go before becoming famous.

In her previous life, apart from the Star Wars series, Natalie Portman starred in the most famous film, which turned out to be "This Killer Is Not So Cold", and she has almost never starred in large-scale commercial films.

This is far less than Scarlett Johansson.

It can be seen from the salary that Natalie Portman has the highest salary, but it has not reached 10 million U.S. dollars, while Scarlett Johansson's basic salary is as high as 15 million U.S. dollars.

As the most popular female superhero Black Widow in "The Avengers", Scarlett Johansson not only received a salary of 15 million US dollars, but also a certain percentage of the box office.

Even, Marvel Studios and Disney plan to make a "Black Widow" movie alone.

Ryan seems to remember that before his accident, Disney had already released the first "Black Widow" film promotional advertisement, but for some reason, the release date of this film has been postponed repeatedly.

I hope it is not another "Wonder Woman 2", this film has almost nothing to watch except for the appearance and figure of the starring Gal Gadot.

With the popularity of Scarlett Johansson and Black Widow, as well as a host of big-name superhero guest appearances, the box office of the film should not be too low.

It's just that Scarlett Johansson's luck seems to be a little bit worse. The release time of this film seems to have lost the right time, place and people.

Not long after, the crew began filming.

In an office built on the set, Patrick Stewart, who plays Professor X, is sitting on a wheelchair, smiling at the confused Hugh Jackman.

The next moment, with the sound of the door opening, Hugh Jackman saw two women walking in, the first one was the woman he had just met, Famke Jansen who played the role of Phoenix.

The plot here is slightly different from the original version, and the role of Phoenix Girl is increased as much as possible, and the presence of Storm Girl is downplayed.

"Logan, come and meet our Phoenix Goddess."

Patrick Stewart sat in a wheelchair, came to Hugh Jackman, pointed to James Marsden and continued to introduce: "He is Scott, nicknamed Cyclops."

"And our most charming Storm Lady."

"They saved you."

"This is my mutant school, you don't have to worry that Magneto will come after you."

Hugh Jackman turned to look at Patrick Stewart, and asked doubtfully, "What is Magneto?"

Patrick Stewart replied: "He is the most powerful mutant, and he has always wanted to provoke a war between humans and mutants. The person who attacked you is his partner, the saber-toothed tiger."

Sitting behind the monitor, Ryan watched the performances of several people. The Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman seemed to have a special charm, just like Robert Downey Jr. who played Iron Man.

In contrast, the performances of Halle Berry as Storm and James Marsden as Cyclops can only be described as mediocre.

On the contrary, Patrick Stewart's acting skills are definitely powerful, better than most Hollywood first-line stars.

As for Famke-Jensen, I can't say much. She is dressed in a tight red leather jacket, has a delicate appearance, and a tall figure. She can attract a lot of attention without extra performances.

"OK!"

Ryan yelled to pass, and the five actors on the set immediately relaxed.

Famke-Jensen looked down at the clothes on his body, "I can finally relax, this clothes feel terrible."

"Famke!" Hugh Jackman looked at Famke-Jensen's curves and jokingly said, "Listen to me, this red suit fits your figure very well, you should really wear it to the night party."

Famke-Jensen rolled his eyes, ignored Hugh-Jackman, turned around and walked to the dressing room, she wished she could take off her tight leather jacket immediately and wash her body.

"Ryan, will you continue to direct the next "X-Men"!"

As the last shot of the film ended, Patrick Stewart couldn't help but ask a very crucial question.

"I'm afraid the crew is about to change to a new director." Ryan did not hide his plan to continue directing the next "X-Men" series of films.

In fact, it's no secret that his next plan is to direct "Spider-Man" himself.

"It's really bad news." Hugh Jackman said with a slightly disappointed expression.

"Don't worry." Ryan said with a smile: "Just because I won't direct the next "X-Men" myself, it doesn't mean I'm leaving the crew."

"Don't forget ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is my plan."

In his tone, he was full of confidence.

Even if he does not continue to direct the next "X-Men" or even leaves the crew, Ryan's right to speak in the next "X-Men" series of films will still not change in the slightest.

"Next, you can rest for a while."

Ryan said a news that was not unexpected, "Then, get ready for the next crew."

Including Patrick Stewart, they all signed multiple film contracts at one time. Orion Films will definitely prepare to shoot the next "X-Men" sequel film, otherwise Patrick Stewart would not have asked Ryan if he would Continue to direct the next "X-Men" filming.

"For Famke."

Hugh Jackman shrugged and said, "I think she's going to want to hear that very much. It won't be long before she's wearing that leather bodysuit again."

Ryan smiled, the experience of the tight leather jacket is really not very good.
