Chapter 683 The girl and the car
Best Entertainment Times Text Volume 683 Girls and Cars The 1980s was Hasbro's fastest development decade, which Hasbro calls it the "incredible decade".
There are three series of representative products during the period, namely "Special Force", "Pony Little Pony" and "Transformers".
Now that the copyrights of the two major series have been sold to Relativity Entertainment, Brian Goldner is naturally very concerned about the progress of the project, after all, there has been no relevant news.
"The Special Forces currently have only preliminary plans." Ronan said truthfully: "Transformers have begun preliminary planning and are currently creating scripts."
Brian Goldner asked again: "When will "Transformers" start filming and release?"
Ronan thought for a while and said, "If everything goes well, filming will start next year and will be released in 2006 or 2007." He thought of the script creation and said, "I have an idea and have been unsure how to implement it. Brian, you were the executive of Hasbro who was directly in charge of Transformers and Special Forces, so I just asked you for your opinion."
Brian Goldner looked at Ronan: "Though said."
Ronan organized a little language: "Hasbro once authorized the comic creation of "Transformers" and "Special Forces" to Marvel. Marvel created "Transformers vs. Special Forces". Now Marvel is a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment. I have an idea to put "Transformers" and "Special Forces" in the same world background and adapt to film a movie."
Brian Goldner confirmed: "Do you want Transformers and Special Forces to appear in the same movie?"
"Yes." Ronan said simply: "Let them break the wall of the dimensional world and become characters in the same world."
Brian Goldner nodded first, then said with doubts: "In fact, those comics are not very successful. The main problem is that the combat systems of these two series are difficult to measure."
Ronan said slowly: "This is indeed a big difficulty. For humans, Transformers are too powerful."
Brian Goldner knows these two series best and suggests: "My opinion is to be cautious. You can first let the relevant characters appear in the movie, but don't make specific explanations, test the market reaction, and then make a decision on the specific situation."
This is the safest way. Ronan has no successful experience to learn from and said, "It's all."
It is said that Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks have planned similar cases, but unfortunately, the movie "Special Force" was adapted into the second part. Due to the extremely poor market response, the so-called plan was postponed indefinitely.
At that time, I saw a very widely circulated news online, saying that the work that combines Chinese and Western China to break the super dimensional wall will be launched "Transformers vs. Nezha".
It seems that in the early 1990s, the publishing house in Luo Nan's hometown also published the comic "Cauliwa vs. Transformers".
It is difficult to tell whether these two news is true or false. After all, Luo Nan has never seen any works on the spot, but has only seen hot news on the Internet.
But there are too many fake news on the Internet, even if it is included in an encyclopedia, it may also be fake.
If "Culhu Wa vs. Transformers" is real, I really admire the relevant publishers and screenwriters. This concept of breaking the Chinese and Western dimensions is advanced enough.
Therefore, more than 20 years later, Nezha will compete with the Transformers.
Megatron: Li Jing, your son Nezha stole the fire source of Cybertron. If he didn't hand him over, we Decepticons would blow up Chentang Pass...
Then there are Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian, Tongtian Sect Leader, etc., which directly hits the rhythm of the sky.
Brian Goldner said at this time: "Ronan, I look forward to seeing the Transformers and Special Forces movies as soon as possible."
Ronan smiled and said, "Brian, please be more patient. The more meticulous the work you do now, the greater the chances of success in the future."
"I understand." Brian Goldner reminded again: "About "Transformers" and "Special Forces" are placed in the same world, and it is better to be cautious when adapting movies."
Ronan promised: "Film production will never make any rash progress."
Strictly speaking, Hollywood's commercial film production system is inherently conservative.
"I'll feel relieved with you." Brian Goldner said goodbye at the right time: "I won't disturb you today, let's keep in touch."
"Okay." Luo Nan shook hands with him and said goodbye, and sent it to the door of the reception room.
Saying Brian Goldner away, Ronan went downstairs to the Shahai Entertainment Screenwriter Department, convened a meeting of five screenwriters who created the script for the "Transformers" project to further discuss the plot and setting.
There are several outlines at present, the most important of which are boys and cars, girls and cars, and soldiers and cars.
The first and second bell settings were all proposed by Ronan, and the source was the "Transformers" and "Bumblebee" movies that I have watched.
The third source and screenwriter team are to make "Transformers" and "Special Forces" appear in the same world context.
Simply put, Duke, a soldier who retired from the army, returned to his hometown to buy a used car. The second-hand car was Bumblebee, which uncovered the love-hate entanglement between alien robots and special forces.
Ronan decided to adopt Brian Goldner's suggestion, be more cautious and test the market reaction first, and the third solution will naturally be eliminated.
The second type of girl and car, drawing from the skeleton of "Bumblebee", creates a story about sexy girls and Bumblebee.
Girls and robots are true love.
This is in line with the future development direction of the film industry, but it is a bit early for the heroine to be now.
The first one is Boy and the Car. Ronan's plan is "Transformers" with a more compact plot rhythm.
The main plot is basically the one shot by Michael Bay.
If James Cameronk directs this series, Ronan is willing to hand over "Transformers" to him for creation, but the truck driver is not interested, and the best way is to focus on stability.
Ronan held a meeting and made a decision. Five screenwriters created scripts for boys and cars, and also convened a team of female screenwriters to create versions for girls and cars.
The script setting and plot advancement are roughly the same, with only relevant differences caused by the gender of the protagonist.
As for Ronan personally, he actually wants to use the girl and car version, but this kind of big investment commercial movie must be measured by the market.
The heroines of the vase type, such as those with explosive figures and cute robots, will inevitably be a killer in the future.
Now, it's hard to say.
Ronan ended the screenwriter meeting and consulted George Clint. After the script was completed, the market department would draw personnel or hire outside consulting companies to conduct market sampling surveys across the United States.
The data obtained in this way is the most intuitive.
Market research determines which protagonist setting to use in the future.
After agreeing on these, the two focused on discussing the director.
"I went to the Hellboy crew some time ago." George Clint told Ronan: "When I met Guilmo del Toro, Guilmore expressed interest in this project. He said that huge robots have always been his biggest hobby and wanted to direct this series."
Ronan shook his head slowly: "Gilmore has never directed a first-line production."
George Clint said directly: "I think Michael Bay is the most suitable of the candidates you have finalized. He has both experience in large production and production, and is also a director who can save money. He has also fully proved himself in the market."
Ronan laughed: "After James Cameron rejected this project, Michael Bay is also the first director in my heart."
George Clint thought for a moment and said, "Michael Bay is still working with DreamWorks to "Escape from Clones". The post-production has not yet ended. Should I try to contact him or talk to him if the movie is completed?"
Ronan thought for a few seconds and said, "Don't contact for the moment, after all, we haven't even determined the script framework. You pay attention to Michael Bay. If he doesn't take on other movie projects, wait until next year, and after "Escape from the Clones" is released."
"I get it." George Clint agreed.
Ronan didn't stay for too long and soon returned to the office on the top floor of the building.
Although Michael Bay is the first director, you can't be anxious to contact him. If "Escape from the Clones" fails as before, Michael Bay's pay will definitely be reduced by a lot.
This commercial director born when Mars hit the Earth has not been smooth since the new century. The two major production films "Pearl Harbor" and "Jedi Men 2" directed by them are not a failure, but they are far from meeting the expectations of the film company.
Compared to his amazing appearance when he first debuted, Michael Bay seems to have become mediocre.
This also affected the Hollywood production system's rating of Michael Bay's director. If another big production is screwed up, Michael Bay's value and status will inevitably decline.
The former "Escape from the Cloned Island" made DreamWorks vomit blood very much.
Scarlett Johnson was also one of the candidates for the heroine at that time. After reading the character script and some scripts, Ronan also heard her talk about it. The plot is basically not much different from the past.
After leaving Jerry Brookheimer's production check, Michael Bay's first work seemed to be lost.
Ronan then logged into the search website and checked the name Megan Fox. He saw Megan Fox on the list of actors in a comedy movie called "Gangster Fashion" released in July.
She is one of the supporting actresses in this movie.
Ronan carefully looked at the poster and actor information of the film. Based on the relevant pictures, he confirmed that he was the former Meghan Fox.
As for the male lead, let it go, Shia Labou.
If a girl and a car are used, there will only be a supporting actor.
