The holiday was short. A week later, Ryan left Queensland on a private plane and flew to Sydney to the south. Nicole and Taylor stayed on the farm and continued to enjoy their leisure life...

In the plan to temporarily name the first phase of the Marvel Universe, after the opening work "Captain America", Marvel launched the second straight-line work. After a long-term preparation and the Academy Awards ceremony, the Hulk has officially started in a studio near Sydney.

Ryan would not stay in Australia for too long. After getting off the plane, he went directly to the Fox Studio where the crew was located.

"Hi, Ryan."

After entering the studio, Ryan met an old acquaintance, hugged the other party gently, and said, "Long time no see, Anne."

"Yes." James Cameron's ex-wife sighed, "The little guy back then became the handsome guy now."

"Welcome to Surprise." Ryan said seriously instead of answering her words, "We finally have an excellent executive producer."

"It's over-reward, Ryan."

Anne Hurd made a gesture of invitation and led the way to the studio. "Director Louis Letrell is filming, so we should speak less."

"no problem."

Nodding, Ryan looked into the distance as he walked, the studio was almost full of green curtains, and he could vaguely see a somewhat strange male actor wearing motion capture equipment and making some angry actions.

Standing far away from the periphery, Anne Hurd introduced some of the crew to Ryan, "The actor we most like is Mr. Andy Serkins, but he wants to film "King Kong" with director Peter Jackson, so we have to choose the current one."

"He also looks very experienced in motion capture," Ryan said, holding his chin with one hand.

"It's OK." Anne Hurd smiled, "Of course, there is still a gap with Mr. Serkins."

Motion capture is not a particularly popular era. It is not easy to find an actor similar to Andy Serkins in this regard. The other party portrays Gollum is definitely the greatest computer synthesis character ever. Even before the Oscars, many media agreed that he could afford the nomination for a best supporting actor, but unfortunately the academy chose to be conservative in the end.

It is not surprising that Andy Serkins would choose King Kong instead of the Hulk, after all, he and Peter Jackson are absolutely good friends.

In addition, the director chosen by the crew is one of the few French directors who can make achievements in commercial films except Luc Besson. Although "Extraordinary Trafficking" directed by Louis Letreller is average in box office, it is quite good compared to investment. This is also a film collaborating with Jenkins Film and Luc Besson's montage studio.

As early as a few years ago, when he was PR for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the Cannes Film Festival, Ryan and Luc Besson finalized this cooperation plan.

After watching the filming for about half an hour, Ryan and Anne Hurd went to her office. After waiting for an assistant to deliver the coffee, they talked about some of the situations in the crew.

"We offered an upfront budget of $100 million for this film." Anne Hurd, the executive producer, was obviously troubled by cost control, "but the film was only one-quarter of the progress, so we spent $30 million. I'm afraid additional investment will be needed in the future."

"You communicate with Jing in detail." Ryan laughed, "Don't worry too much, this is Australia."

"Fortunately, the Australian government will pay for part of the investment in the film." Anne Hurd nodded in agreement, "Otherwise, it would be a headache."

"So, apart from the necessary outdoor scenes." Ryan took a sip of coffee, not very much to his taste, and simply put down the cup. "Our big production choices are a must overseas."

“If the California government does not make some changes, studios in the Los Angeles area will soon fall.”

"That depends on how our old friend Arnold did it."

Schwarzenegger was elected the new governor of California last year, and this position is not easy to do. Especially the outflow of the film and television industry is a very troublesome problem. This year, the state government has also introduced some new improvement measures, but the effect is not obvious.

Although the newly introduced California movie tax preferential policy has increased the tax preferential amount and increased the annual tax exemption to 200 million US dollars, compared with Hollywood movies that invest hundreds of millions of dollars, it can only be better than nothing.

The tax exemption limit can not only be used to pay offline fees for the film—that is, it does not include the compensation paid to actors, producers, directors and screenwriters—and the film must be started within four months after submitting the tax incentive application. From the actual situation, this restriction has caused difficulties in filming because the filming location, actor schedule and other details are usually difficult to determine during this period.

Just a few of the few who have a script, prepare quickly and then start shooting in a burgeoning manner.

Compared with overseas regions and other states, each film crew’s expenses in California are significantly higher.

Not only big productions, but also some independent film productions that rarely leave California gradually choose to film other places.

This is also related to the tax exemption policy. With large studios standing ahead, the amount of tax exemption that independent films can get from this policy is five percent of the total amount, that is, the tax exemption amount of all independent films is only 10 million US dollars.

Although independent films receive extremely limited offers in other regions, they are always better than California, and those large productions worth hundreds of millions of dollars have become delicious foods that other regions compete for.

Movies can turn inconspicuous places into gold mines, especially the driving effect of "The Lord of the Rings" on the New Zealand economy, which has fully seen this in many overseas filming sites in Hollywood.

Over the years, Australia and New Zealand have learned valuable lessons from Hollywood. With the influx of Hollywood funds, Australian film and television production has tripled since the 1990s. More and more of the works that are among the top films in film history are filmed in Australia.

Since the 1990s, Fox Cinema of Twentieth Century was completed in the suburbs of Sydney, it has immediately become a shooting place in Hollywood.

A well-skilled team, rich attractions, and reasonable shooting expenses are the main reasons that attract Hollywood producers. There are also tax rates discounts for foreign-funded feature films and short films, and even Hollywood film and television practitioners are worried about being unfair to Australian local crews.

Ryan once received a professional survey report. In the past year, nearly 30% of the Hollywood film and television industry financing was invested in Australian shooting. Especially in the past two months, the investment from Hollywood has reached 220 million US dollars, an increase of 33% over the previous month.

The report estimates that due to the growth of Hollywood's investment in Australia, the U.S. entertainment industry will lose 25,000 jobs this year, causing at least $15 billion to the U.S. economy.

Hollywood producers don’t care about these things. As business opportunities rush, a Warner studio on the Gold Coast will be expanded, and a new studio will be opened in Melbourne’s Darkland area.

Not only that, the Australian government will also make some more preferential measures to attract investment.

For example, the Hulk Hulk, which is now filming, came out of surprise, and when news of his consideration of filming in Australia, the Australian Prime Minister's Office immediately issued a statement to strive for the investment that may exceed $100 million in Australia.

"While the cast and location of Hulk's filming has not yet been finalized, the film will undoubtedly provide Australian film talent with the opportunity to work with top professionals in the industry - both in front of the camera and behind the scenes," the statement said.

To attract this big production to film in Australia, the Australian government will provide a one-time subsidy of 15 million Australian dollars to the producers, because shooting this film will bring a large new investment to Australia and create about 2,000 jobs, and there are thousands of Australian businesses that are expected to provide goods and services for the film.

"The Hulk" was filmed in Australia and can save at least 20 million US dollars in funds. You can imagine what choice will be made in terms of surprise.

Although the decision of the Australian government has been criticized by many domestic organizations, Ryan doesn't care about these things. As long as the Australian authorities can provide discounts, Ryan doesn't mind moving all the appropriate videos to Australia for filming in the future.

After staying in Sydney for a day, I roughly watched some shooting situations, which was related to an investment of over 100 million US dollars.

"The Hulk Hulk" is naturally no longer the frustrating actor in Ang Lee's previous life. The plot was redesigned according to the needs of the first phase of the universe plan, which deliberately reduced the plot of unscrupulous destruction after Bruce Banner transformed. Not many viewers would like a superhero who only knows how to be violent. At the end of the script, the Hulk will definitely fight to the death to maintain the stability and prosperity of America.

Of course, other superheroes are indispensable in the Easter eggs. This time it will be Iron Man. Surprise has already negotiated a contract with Robert Downey Jr., and the two parties signed contracts for seven movies at one time.

I remember that Brother Hammer was also an Australian in his previous life. I wonder if he has gone to Hollywood to develop now?

When he was on the plane and returned to Los Angeles, Ryan was still thinking about this issue, but Hollywood has never lacked muscular men, and it is not difficult to find suitable candidates.

The main reason is that the couple in their previous life left too deep impressions, Thor and Loki are simply...

I tortured my brother thousands of times, and my brother treated me like my first love! (To be continued...)
