A few days later, Sofia Coppola ended the scenes of most extras. The most difficult part was not filming, but makeup. The super avant-garde outfit of Shi Huiguo's upper class made the crew's costumes and makeup team make a lot of preparations. Even so, the working hours of these staff members were close to twelve hours a day. The chapters were updated the fastest.

Clothing is also a major feature of this movie. Ryan’s request is very simple, which is to capture several key elements and attract the attention of teenagers and female audiences as much as possible.

As for whether the movie contains some secret irony, that is what screenwriter Susan Collins and director Sophia Coppola need to consider.

There are a lot of action scenes in the shooting. Sofia Coppola is not good at these, and the action scenes are basically handed over to Tiger Chen Lai to take charge of the scenes.

When actors, directors and other teams from Hong Kong were squeezed out of Hollywood, he became one of the very few people who could gain a foothold in Hollywood because of his own efforts and support from Jenkins Pictures. In other words, there were not many Hong Kong filmmakers who could stay in Hollywood except Tiger Chen.

The kung fu film that was once popular in North America for a period of time has also entered the sunset and is about to end.

This is an inevitable development of Hollywood, and it cannot be changed by anyone or any group company. After Hollywood was founded, foreign movies had briefly emerged several times, but after Hollywood absorbed the essence, most of these outsiders were eventually eliminated from North America.

It's very simple to say. Hollywood action coaches only need to learn some kung fu, combine the routines of other fighting methods, and supplemented by various high-tech means, which is enough to design a fight that attracts the audience.

In the last decade of Ryan's previous life, the situation almost developed like this. Hollywood has absorbed some of the advantages of kung fu. Combining the specialties of Muay Thai, judo, taekwondo, karate and free fighting, the fighting was designed to be simpler, sharp and direct. The actual effect after the movie was released also proved to be enough to attract the audience's attention.

Tiger? Chen basically gave up Yuan Heping's routine, he was almost completely Hollywood.

If you want to avoid being eliminated by Hollywood, you must first integrate into Hollywood and become part of this large factory or assembly line.

After all, high commercialization and industrialization are the key to Hollywood's success.

Ryan's role is a completely stereotypical villain, according to the direction of the script. Apart from the final battle with Peeta and Katniss, there is no excellence or appearance. In the previous life, he is just a soy sauce crowd.

Most of the time, he just sat next to watch the crew filming, and occasionally came to the camera to have a few action scenes of cool and handsome appearances, and even had few lines.

Katniss is the only protagonist in the movie, most of the camera's shots will only follow Natalie.

In just a few days, Natalie experienced a series of action shots such as climbing trees and hanging steel wires. Although there were several minor accidents in the middle, she was not injured under the protection of the crew's safety measures.

Of course. The story takes place in the future Shi Huiguo. Whether it is filmed in a studio or a few times in Brisbane for shooting, green screens will never be missing in front of the camera lens.

With the rapid development of computer synthesis technology, this has become a necessary part of all large-scale film shootings.

After more than ten days of filming, good news came from North America. After several rounds of negotiations, Julius Stewart and Allen Ruston quickly reached an agreement. Disney Pictures won the adaptation rights of "Life and Death" for a $1 million share of the North American box office.

Ryan also took the time to read this memoir and then told Julius to start writing the script. This kind of movie that is mostly a one-man show is more about the grasp of the starring and the director. The script can only be said to be a relatively minor element.

"The progress of the setting here is slower than expected." Sofia Coppola put down the coffee cup. "I went on the phone with Ms. Kennedy yesterday, and the farm was basically arranged. After this week, we will go and shoot the outdoor scene first."

The scene ended earlier today. After Ryan, Natalie, Sophia Coppola and other familiar people returned to Brisbane, they made an appointment to have supper together in the hotel's Western restaurant. After dinner, they savored coffee and started chatting.

"That's great." Taylor sniffed the smell of coffee and still picked up his juice obediently. "I miss Gru all the time."

"Who is Gru?"

Natalie, who was chatting with Scarlett, suddenly looked up and asked, "Your new friend?"

"That..." Taylor's eyes turned, and he thought about what to say in an instant, "A shepherd dog, the leader of the hunting dog on the farm, is best at hunting hares."

Natalie nodded and turned to Ryan, who was sitting next to her, "Don't you invite us to hunt together?"

"Of course you can do it if you like it." As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Scarlett on the other side tapped the table, "In this way, you can prepare a bow and a pot of arrows for Nat..."

"Do you need to prepare a flying knife for you?" Ryan joked.

"She won't even hit the rabbit even if she is ready." Taylor bit the straw and muttered sarcastically, "We went to try yesterday, and Scar couldn't even hit the target."

Scarlett Johnson shrugged, but rarely said anything, obviously knowing that his level of throwing the flying knife was bad enough.

Several people smiled and said that the herbivores that were flooded in Australia, and the topic turned back to the movie.

"The crew borrowed the farm's warehouse area to build twelve districts." Sofia Coppola talked about some preparations there, "the hilly areas on the edge of the woods were arranged as a battlefield for the game."

She suddenly sighed, "Frankly speaking, Ryan, the production cost of $100 million is under a lot of pressure. If you hadn't prepared another action director, I would definitely not have taken on this series."

"Sofia, don't you want the critics who criticized you to be more dull?"

Holding the coffee cup, Ryan said in a mischievous manner, "You were nominated for the Oscar for Best Director. The film critic who laughed at you said that female directors can make literary and artistic movies, and they have no effect at the box office. Don't you want to slap those film critics in the face?"

"And..." He raised his finger and interrupted Sophia Coppola's words to say, "If Hollywood really wants to know your value, high-box movies are essential."

There are many people who won the Oscar for Best Director in their previous life, but those who can truly enter the front line have proved themselves in box office or business aspects.

Oscars may discriminate against pure commercial directors to a certain extent, but Hollywood will definitely not.

It's very simple. For a film company, is it important to be Sam Mendes, who can win the Oscar for Best Director with her debut work, or is it important to be Michael Bay, who has never made achievements in the Oscars?

You can even replace Michael Bay with pure commercial directors such as Stephen Somos, Roland Emmerich.

Having said that, Ryan really doesn't remember who the director of "The Hunger Games" in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen Sophia Coppola.

However, this also has benefits. With the opening of the Internet era, it has become a normal phenomenon for directors to come to the front desk. The all-female creative lineup will definitely attract more attention from women.

Maybe we can do public relations work for several large feminist organizations so that they can promote this movie appropriately when they are organizing events?

Let's leave it to Disney to discuss.

Several women were talking about topics that were interesting to each other, while Ryan was listening and thinking about these things.

To succeed, "The Hunger Games" not only requires promoting movies, but also the influence of novels is also indispensable. Just like the Harry Potter series, movies and books have a very significant mutually promoting relationship, and what Disney does not lack is the experience of promoting youth works.

From this year to now, according to Nelson's statistics, "The Hunger Games" is second only to the "Harry Potter" series and "The Da Vinci Code". Since its release, nearly 7 million physical books have been sold in the United States. Disney has also made great efforts in promoting online and e-books. On several websites such as Amazon, the sales volume of this book has not fallen out of the top five.

Hollywood is very familiar with this kind of application by adapting books with good market responses into movies, and then promoting the sales of books and peripheral products through movies.

On the premise of ensuring the popularity of film promotion, Disney's temporary promotion focus is still on novels. With more readers of novels, the movie will have the most basic audience in the future.

Perhaps after the movie is released next year, Mockingbirds will become the most popular brooch in the United States.

"MV? I'm waiting for the Hollywood record company people to come."

Taylor's words interrupted Ryan's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Dear, are you anxious?"

"The time has been determined, there is nothing to worry about." Taylor turned the empty cup, "Even if you want to shoot, it depends on Sophia's schedule."

"When will the record be released?" asked Sofia Coppola.

"My fifteenth birthday." Taylor pointed at Ryan, "He said this is my birthday gift this year."

"MV will be released earlier." Ryan added, "About half a month in advance, so I notified you to cut some of the flowers, and use the game location as the MV shooting scene. If the MV market responds well, you can also promote the movie."

Although it has not been launched yet, relevant departments of Disney and Hollywood record companies have formulated complete publicity plans and have specially selected an alternative MV starting platform.

With Disney's huge resources, it is actually not difficult to make a girl with already extraordinary strength famous. (To be continued...)
