The Best Entertainment Era

This is an event organized by the Film School of the University of Southern California. To be precise, it is a name change ceremony.

　　 Southern California Film School is short. It was originally called the USC Film and Television School, but now it is officially renamed the USC Film and Art School.

　　How could the USC Film School forget to invite many famous alumni to participate in such an event?

　　As the college closest to Hollywood and the film industry in the United States, graduates of the USC Film School will basically enter Hollywood to work.

　　 Compared with the related majors of New York University and Columbia University, the Film School of Southern California is more inclined to Hollywood commercial films, aiming to train students who make industrialized quality products.

　　The Oscars won by the USC Film School are also much higher than other schools.

　　 There are many famous alumni.

At the banquet after the name change, in addition to George Lucas, Ronan also saw the sound effects master class-Bout, the director of "Life is Beautiful" Ron Howard, the director of "Forrest Gump" Robert Zemigis, " David Volpe, director of "The Chocolate Factory," and so on.

　　 Most of them are directors or behind-the-scenes producers like Jessica Felton, and rarely see the stars in front of the scenes.

　　 Because there is no acting major in the Film Academy of Southern California.

　　 Ronan successfully entered the inner circle of the alumni of the USC Film School under the introduction of George Lucas.

　　 Although he dropped out and did not graduate, he was also an alumnus.

　　As the chairman of the alumni association Robert Zemeckis sent an invitation, Ronan also agreed to join the UC Film Academy Alumni Association.

　　He came to participate in this gathering. First, he was branded with the unerasable stigma of the Film Academy of Southern California, and second, he used his alumni to further expand his network of contacts.

　　Many alumni participating in the event are members of the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences.

　　 In other words, the Oscar judges.

　　 In this society, there are circles everywhere, and alumni are considered to be more reliable.

　　 And at the banquet, Ronan also met Johnson, his mentor in school.

　　 Three years ago, Professor Johnson officially retired and returned to settle in Washington, DC. Ronan has not seen him for a while.

　　 Although there is no such thing as the four irons of life, it is a universal social value to value mothers.

　　 This is a special existence where you can scold it a thousand times or even ten thousand times in your heart, but never allow outsiders to scold it.

　　 In the second half of the banquet, Ronan asked Professor Johnson to accompany him to find the current top administrators of the film school, and directly declared to donate 8 million US dollars to his alma mater.

　　Professor Johnson has retired, and his pension is very high, but he is always paying attention to the USC Film School.

　　 Ronan knows this very well. He deliberately learned about the current administrators of the college under the introduction of Professor Johnson, not George Lucas, in order to let Professor Johnson leave more fame and mark.

　　 This is also a kind of return. When Ronan just started, Professor Johnson helped him a lot. Jessica Felton was introduced to him by Professor Johnson.

　　 Unfortunately, Jessica Felton went to Mexico to inspect the location of "Fast and Furious 3", and did not have time to come over and participate.

　　 But Ronan can also introduce her to the alumni association.

　　 The eight million US dollars donation, Ronan is entirely personally funded, of course he will not write a blank check, he must be cashed.

　　 There are too many cases of Hollywood stars talking empty words when they are engaged in charity.

　　Also, many celebrities have their own charitable foundations, and pledged charitable donations claim to have donated to their own foundation...

　　 No matter what the purpose of the charitable donation is, as long as it is really done, it is better than not done, and it is a hundred times better than the keyboard man who satirizes their donation for other purposes.

　　 Ronan once had a colleague who donated one hundred yuan in a certain incident, but he was ridiculed by many people for being stingy.

　　 And those people's wallets are always tightly covered.

　　Of course, publicly claiming to donate a large sum of money in order to gain fame, but nothing in the back is another situation.

　　 There are many people like Hollywood. The most typical ones are Julia Roberts and Oprah Winfrey. They are not only famous iron roosters, but they have done more than once when they publicly declared donations but turned their heads in denial.

　　 Ronan will ask the accountant to handle the donation tomorrow.

　　 Tonight, he didn’t donate the most money. George Lucas donated US$20 million in a lump sum, and he also donated US$10 million on behalf of Spielberg who was filming in the field.

　　 Spielberg is not an alumnus of the USC Film School, but is a famous supporter of the USC Film School.

　　Perhaps, this has something to do with his early support from George Lucas.

　　According to Robert Zemikis, George Lucas is also preparing to donate a state-of-the-art teaching building and post-production studio to the USC Film Academy.

　　 During most of the banquet, Ronan stayed with USC alumni to chat. Because of his identity as the owner of the film company and a gold medal producer, he quickly became one of the alumni’s focus.

　　 In short, Ronan gained a lot from this day's activities.

　　 A few days later, Ronan called a grand dinner on the grounds that he had recently joined the USC Film Academy Alumni Association.

　　 A brand-new network of contacts is gradually being established.

　　Most of them can directly connect with Relativistic Entertainment.

　　For example, the sound effects master class-Bout, accepted the invitation of Relativity Entertainment and will be responsible for the sound effects processing for the "Transformers" series in the future.

　　 In addition, the University of Southern California Film School has a steady stream of outstanding graduates who can join the filming and production teams of various crews of Shahai Entertainment.

　　 Ronan is also logically listed as one of the most influential alumni of the USC Film School.

　　 Later, the "Transformers" crew officially signed a contract with Industrial Light & Magic, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, and Industrial Light & Magic will be responsible for the special effects production of this commercial masterpiece.

　　 Relativity Entertainment and Lucasfilm are continuously deepening their cooperation with each other. Excluding those small and medium-sized investment projects, Marvel Entertainment has reached a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with Industrial Light and Magic for large-scale production alone.

　　 Shahai Entertainment has more cooperation with Industrial Light & Magic. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "A Wonderful Night at the Museum" and "Transformers" are all produced by Industrial Light & Magic.

　　 Also, the two sides also reached a cooperation agreement on Zach Schneider's "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors".

　　 Shahai Entertainment leased the studio of the Hughes Aircraft Factory for a long time. Large investment projects have been withdrawn from Warner Studios one after another, and post-production can be completed back to the Theory of Relativity Building.

　　 However, Zach Schneider and the "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" project were shot by Ronan at the Warner Studios.

The first film that entered the film industry was a huge success. It was eventually sold off from North America at the box office of 88.9 million US dollars. Zach Schneider was very motivated. After only less than a month's rest, he returned to Los Angeles from the UK to gather people Started preparations for the establishment of the crew, planning to complete the preparations within half a year, and the shooting and production will be completed next year.

　　 Ronan also gave Zach Schneider more power and even made him the second producer.

　　 The production budget of this film is 60 million US dollars, most of which will be invested in special effects production.

　　 Just as Zach Schneider was preparing to set up a crew, he hired Larry Fang, a photographer who worked with him all the year round when shooting commercials, so that his intentions and style could be thoroughly implemented in the shots.

　　 When shooting commercials, Zach Schneider often uses high-speed slow motion, and Larry Fang is very good at shooting in this area.

　　 Then, Zach Schneider suspended other work, first to determine the actors.

　　 In his words to Ronan, the shortest actor needs half a year of preparation.

Because what appeared in the movie shots should be bodybuilding champions, not white-faced youngsters, after Zach Schneider asked the advice of fitness experts, he believed that the actors need at least four months of professional fitness training to achieve the desired muscle effect. .

　　 Next, there is fighting training.

　　 This is a movie that rejects any nymphs. If you want to play a Spartan warrior in this movie, you need to experience a devilish fitness journey.

　　 Even so, after the crew released the actor recruitment announcement, the Warner Studios where they were located was immediately surrounded by countless actors and their agents.

　　 Although the pay was only 300,000 US dollars, and he had to undergo devilish fitness training, the number of candidates for the lead actor Leonida soon exceeded 30.

　　 Ronan only participated in the actor's audition once, and he finalized the supporting actor Gerald Butler, who had appeared in "Tomb Raider 2", as the actor.

　　 Gerrard Butler tried a few shots. After Ronan confirmed that he did not admit the wrong person, he told Zach Schneider directly: "This person is the Spartan lunatic king."

　　 is also wherever he goes, the president will be a **** lunatic agent.

　　 The White House has fallen, London has fallen, submarines have fallen, angels have fallen too~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wherever this person goes, the order will collapse.

　　 More than fifty male actors quickly arrived. Zach Schneider would soon strip them off and turn them into a bunch of walking hormones in a few months.

　　 Of course, the Spartan warriors in historical records did not wear red trousers to fight.

According to historical records, Spartan warriors wore heavy armor to fight. Some people's armor weighed half of their body weight, but the original author Frank Miller believed that such a costume would make the tragic and heroic Spartan warriors drawn. It looks like a tortoise legion, so the costumes of the characters are changed in the original book. The king of Sparta, Leonidas and his men are dressed in scarlet shirts and strong bodies.

　　 The suits designed by the crew based on the original work look like swimming trunks made of leather armor.

　　In ancient Greek-themed works, the characters are usually nude. For artistic and commercial considerations, the film will strip the soldiers naked without hesitation.

　　 As for the real history, just like the battle of Wenquanguan in the movie, it is not important at all.

　　 Besides, history has lost its true appearance from the moment it happened.

　　 The soaring plasma of 300 Spartan men will arouse the emotions of the audience.

　　 Similarly, the blood plasma of "Chain Saw" will also drive the enthusiasm of a large number of viewers.
