Chapter five hundred and ninety-four determine the director candidates

The crew is coming and going, and the filming of the crew is still continuing. This is obviously not a place to talk about things. Ryan and the others returned to San Francisco and went directly to the hotel where the crew checked in. In the cafe on the ground floor, they communicated with the director who recommended him to come to the door... Read the latest and most complete novels

The melodious and soothing music was floating, and there were not many people in the cafe. Ryan took Charlize's coffee with sugar and milk, took a sip, and looked at the blonde middle-aged man opposite.

Middle-aged people are not unfamiliar with them. Maybe they are just as famous now, but they were famous in their previous lives, and they have seen each other several times before.

"Ryan, I saw the script outline from Drew..."

What he said was naturally the clips Ryan sent out, "Frankly, I think I'm very suitable for this movie."

This is North America, self-recommendation is not popular.

"George, your schedule..." Ryan remembers that this guy seemed to be filming "The Story of the Emergency Room".

"There is no problem with the schedule," explained George Clooney. "In fact, the next season's episodes have been filmed."

Perhaps to strengthen his persuasion, he continued, "Ryan, don't you know that you have seen "Confession of Dangerous Thoughts" invested by Flower Pictures?"

"That new movie Drew was released?" Ryan heard Drew Barrymore talk about it not long ago, but he had never watched it. "Sorry, I haven't had time to watch it yet."

"I heard you are the director?" He buckled the table with great interest.

"Yes." George Clooney nodded, "This is my debut film."

Although he had never watched it, Ryan heard Drew mention that he was still a major shareholder of Flower Pictures. Not to mention the quality of the film, George Clooney's eloquence and communication skills were extraordinary. He persuaded Julia Roberts to reduce his salary to $25,000, and Matt Damon and Brad Pitt joined in a friendly manner. He did not take any penny.

Especially, Drew, a stingy investor, willingly took out 30 million US dollars for his debut work.

"Can you tell me what you think?" Ryan asked seriously.

"I just saw the outline of the script and part of the draft of the memoir at Drew." George Clooney understood that his opportunity came, "I can only talk about my general idea based on this part."

"Um."

After Ryan nodded, George Clooney organized the language a little and talked about his views on "Argo", "This is an American patriotism-style film, and it is also a typical film with complete personal heroism."

After seeing the smile on the corner of Ryan's mouth, he seemed to be more confident. "We don't care what role Cia and the federal government played in the Iran incident. Just simply explain the causes and consequences clearly. The perspective of the movie is to put Antonio Mendez on him, and he is a hero! We just use artistic techniques to bring this rescue incident to the screen, with good people and bad people, enemies and friends clearly distinguishing."

"The film tells stories from the late 1970s and early 1980s. I think the film is best to adopt the style of the 1970s films. Even photography is best to have the feeling of that era. If you can find historical lenses of the time, you can cut them into them appropriately."

The index finger slowly buckled the tabletop. Ryan thought for a moment and said, "This is how, George. After the script is completed, I will send you a complete copy, and then..."

"I understand." George Clooney laughed.

He knew that Ryan had included himself in the ranks of formal candidates and was even likely to get the opportunity to take charge of the guide.

After seeing off George Clooney Ryan and Charlize briefly spent dinner, they returned to the suite of South African Diamonds.

While taking a shower, Ryan considered the candidate who had just recommended himself to the door. In addition to his lack of rich directorial resume, his views are indeed very suitable for "Argo". If David Finch and others have no response at that time, it may be a choice to enable him.

In his previous life, the other party also directed several outstanding works.

Strictly speaking, the United States has not encountered a series of attacks on the embassy. This movie is not the best time, and of course it is not bad. After all, it is a patriotic movie full of the main theme.

"Hey, Charlie, why are you so fast?"

When Ryan was thinking about these things, Charlize had already washed away the foam on her body. She waved her hand, "You can go ahead, it's a little stuffy here, I'll go out first."

"No problem." Ryan raised his body and looked at the South African diamonds rubbing his body with concern. Charlize shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm really a little stuffy."

After saying that, she put on her pajamas, waved to Ryan, and walked out of the bathroom.

After taking care of her hair, she walked to the balcony. After twisting the switch, the white light fell on two high-backed rattan chairs like snowflakes. Charlize took a few books on fashion design, sat on one of the chairs, and began to look through them attentively.

From the day she stood by Ryan, Charlize was constantly enriching herself. She never wanted to just make a vase, especially when there were other comparisons.

Although he won the Oscar for Best Actress, Charlize also knew that when it comes to acting career, he was definitely not as good as Nicole Kidman, and the other Natalie Portman was said to have developed into a director, and even the first director's short film was released.

What about your future? Although you have become a first-line Hollywood actress now, what about other careers? You can't be completely compared by others, right?

Although with Ryan's personality, even if she does nothing in the future, she will still live freely and freely.

After the Oscars, Charlize thought of her own advantages. She had a unique experience in fashion. In recent years, she has gradually gained the reputation of the queen of the red carpet. So why can't she use her current fame and the media resources in Ryan to create her own fashion brand?

Even the guy Paris Hilton who likes to make trouble has her brand, so she will never be worse than her, right?

The other party is backed by Hilton Group, but he also has Ryan's support.

Since the first half of the year, she has been regaining her fashion career in her spare time and has also consulted professionals for advice.

"What are you doing, my dear?"

Knocking on the balcony door, Ryan walked behind Charlize, took the book in her hand and flipped it back, "Do you need me to hire several teachers from Europe?"

"You're not as familiar with the fashion world as me." Charlize pulled him into the chair next to him. "I won't be polite when I need help."

"There is no need to do this kind of thing yourself." Ryan sat tilted on the chair, pulled Charlize's hand, and gently pinched the knuckles on it. "Hold a few outstanding designers, and then borrow your fame to start the sign..."

"I'm doing it as a future career, my dear." Charlize looked here very seriously, and Ryan picked up her hand and kissed her, "Okay, Charlie, just do what you want."

This kind of thing only needs support, and Ryan can roughly guess Charlize's thoughts. Women's mutual comparisons can never be avoided, so let them be happy.

Of course, he knew that this was Charlize's future plan, and she would still focus on movies at this stage.

"Do you think George Clooney is the right person?"

Charlize put the book aside and asked someone he had met before dinner, "I've seen the "Confession of Dangerous Thoughts" directed by him. In addition to some questions at the end, it was pretty good in general."

"It depends on the situation." Ryan looked into the distance, and could vaguely see the lights on the Golden Gate Bridge. "The script has not been completed yet."

Until now, Ryan has just roughly written the beginning of the script. After returning to Los Angeles from San Francisco, his main energy has been on the script "Argo", striving to complete it as soon as possible, and then push the project into the formal preparation stage.

Shortly after he returned, Martin Scorsese and Stephen Soderbergh responded one after another, and both of them declined Ryan's invitation. The former was preparing for "The Aviator", while the latter believed that the script outline was too prominent and entertainment, which was inconsistent with his own style.

Afterwards, George Clooney came to the door several times on the basis of getting more information and took the initiative to communicate with Ryan. Some of his views were recognized to a considerable extent by Ryan, and he gradually regarded this guy as the first candidate.

As September entered, Ryan finally made up his mind to confirm that George Clooney was the director of "Argo", and let this guy participate fully in the early preparations that had begun.

"These are all information sent by Cia."

In an archive room at the heavily defended Disney headquarters, Ryan pointed to several large cartons for George Clooney, "They are all non-public information and cannot be taken out of this room, so..."

Ryan patted his shoulder, "George, this will be your office for some time to come."

"Where is the script?" This is the question that George Clooney is most concerned about.

"You will receive the full version of the script soon," Ryan said, walking outside. "You can contact Ms. Stewart for specific preparations."

This movie can't keep up with this year's schedule anyway, and Ryan is not in a hurry. There is still more than a year left in the future. For such a small production, time is very abundant.

With Ryan's significant self-paying salary cut, the production cost of "Argo" was only $35 million. Fortunately, George Clooney is the absolute newcomer among the directors and has not yet developed the habit of those famous directors spending money.

It seems that George Clooney has good acting skills, so he can also play an important supporting role. Other actors try to find actors who have been around for many years but have not become very famous. Controlling costs is a must-have choice. (To be continued...)
