Movie Queen Development Plan

"Hello, Director Kiryu."

Scarlett Johansson smiled and held out her hand.

"Well, hello. Miss Johnson."

Nanaya shook hands with the other party politely.

Compared to the brown-haired image that was more memorable in Nanaya's memory, Scarlett Johansson now has long golden hair, which makes Nanaya a little uncomfortable.

"Also, Director Kiryu." Scarlett reminded with a smile, "Actually, this is not my first time in Japan."

"That Lost in Translation from August, right? Miss Johnson was really good in that movie."

Nanaya's answer made Scarlett's expression slightly stunned.

"I remember this movie hasn't been released in Japan yet."

Nanaya smiled slightly: "I saw this movie when I went to the United States before, and this is also an important reason why I chose Miss Johnson."

This statement was half true and half false. Nanaya's schedule in North America was very tight and he had no time to go to the movies.

In fact, Nanaya watched the movie "Lost in Translation" in his previous life. After all, Nanaya was also in the film industry in his previous life, so how could he not have seen the movies starred by Black Widow.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Nanaya appreciates Scarlett's performance in this movie.

Scarlett Johansson.

If this name were used 10 years later, I believe most movie fans would be able to call it out.

However, Agent Romanov is far from being so famous now.

Although Scarlett Johansson has begun to make a name for herself with a few art films and independent films, she is still far from reaching the status of the most expensive actress in Hollywood.

However, her acting skills are beyond doubt. With her experience in art films, Nanaya feels that this future Black Widow should be the best actress in the crew.

Of course, the reason why Nanaya chose Scarlett Johansson is not just because Black Widow has good acting skills and low pay.

You should know that after Nanaya sent out the audition invitation for Medusa, many actresses came to audition, including future stars like Scarlett Johansson.

Nanaya had seen Anne Hathaway, Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Lawrence and many other female stars on the audition list who he could name and who would become very popular in the future.

But Nanaya finally chose Scarlett Johansson, whom he admired more.

Nanaya's admiration was not because he was once a fan of Black Widow, nor because of her good figure.

You have to know that what Nanaya really values is that the actress Scarlett Johansson is smarter than other candidates and is also good at judging the situation.

Looking back at Black Widow's development history, you will find that this female star has a very clear life plan.

After achieving certain success in the independent film and art film circles, she did not, like other actresses, cling to the title of Hollywood Film Queen. Instead, she decisively chose to begin transitioning to commercial films.

Obviously Scarlett Johansson is well aware that if an actor really wants to make money, and make a lot of money, the most important thing is the box office performance.

It's a pity that our Black Widow was not very lucky and it took her three attempts to succeed.

The first "Eight-Legged Monster" did not perform well at the box office due to problems such as old-fashioned film subject matter and poor special effects.

This brought the first crisis to Scarlett Johansson's acting career.

Fortunately, Scarlett was immediately spotted by Sofia Coppola and starred in "Lost in Translation".

Thanks to the success of this movie, Scarlett Johansson had a second chance to make a breakthrough in commercial films.

However, this time she chose Michael Bay's Waterloo work "Get Out". This flop not only allowed Scarlett Johansson to return to the independent film circle again, but also turned the commercial film wizard Michael Bay from a favorite of the film producers into stinking dog shit.

The third time, Scarlett Johansson was chosen by Marvel to star in "Iron Man 2".

The reason why Marvel chose her at that time was largely because Scarlett was cheap and cost-effective.

After all, Marvel didn't have much money at that time. Although "Iron Man 1" was a success, the budget for the second part was not too generous.

Fortunately, Scarlett Johansson was able to get her third chance.

Everyone knows what happened after that.

Looking at Scarlett Johansson's history of success, we can find that although she failed twice in a row in the business world, she never gave up.

Generally speaking, other actresses would probably start competing for awards to win capital when faced with this situation, but Scarlett Johansson still tries to impact the commercial film industry while maintaining her own status.

This seemed to Nanaya to be a display of great perseverance.

More importantly, this young lady still maintains a good image after achieving huge success. Compared with Anne Hathaway, who was almost unable to move because of being blackmailed, and her cousin who was involved in a certain scandal, such things rarely happen to Scarlett Johansson.

It can be said that apart from her attraction to older men, it is difficult to find any fatal flaw in this sister.

At least for the next ten years.

This point can be said to be particularly important.

As mentioned before, Nanaya has made plans for the Fate series for the next ten years. The choice of the popular R-sister Medusa is naturally an actor who will be popular in the next ten years but will not encounter any major changes.

From this point of view, Scarlett Johansson is really the perfect fit.

Of course, Agent Romanoff's big breasts and long legs are also one of the reasons why Nanaya chose her to play Sister R.

Thinking of this, Nanaya nodded to Scarlett: "We will take the train to Kobe City later. The journey will be a bit tiring. I hope Miss Johnson will understand."

"It's nothing. As an actor, I'm used to running around like this." Scarlett said nonchalantly, "Also, Director Nanaya Kiryu can call me Scarlett. Other directors I've worked with all call me that."

Nanaya also followed suit, "Then Scarlett can also call me Director Nanaya."

"OK."

Scarlett and Nanaya smiled at each other.

Nanaya didn't have any thoughts about unspoken rules regarding the future female star in front of him.

Because Nanaya knew very well that he looked too young and was not within the hunting range of this uncle-control freak.

Of course, Nanaya believed that if he proposed the idea to the other party as a director, the other party would most likely not refuse.

But it would be meaningless if that were the case, and it might even cause your favorability to plummet.

Therefore, Nanaya gave up on this attempt of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice.

Then Nanaya chatted with several other actors from the United States. These actors were not even as famous as Scarlett Johansson is now, otherwise they would not have united around Scarlett.

And judging by the names, there aren't any actors worth investing in for the future.

So Nanaya just said hello to these actors in a formal way and left.

Finally, Nanaya came to the teams carrying equipment.

"Long time no see, Director Kiryu, I'm from IMAX..." The familiar Mediterranean uncle was just about to step forward and make friends.

"I know, it's the Mediterranean uncle, right?" Nanaya said casually.

These words made the Mediterranean uncle's expression suddenly become distorted, and he looked as if he had internal injuries.

"Director Kiryu, I have a name, my name is..."

"It doesn't matter if it's just a small matter."

Nanaya's eyes were not on the Mediterranean uncle at all. His attention was now entirely on the equipment brought by the IMAX team.

When the other members of the IMAX team saw their leader looking constipated, they really wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

However, Nanaya does not have so many concerns. Among Shion's many investments in the North American entertainment industry is an investment in IMAX.

Although Nanaya only held a small stake in IMAX due to cash flow issues, this allowed him to ignore the dissatisfaction of Uncle Mediterranean.

"This is it?"

Looking at those large equipment boxes, Nanaya's eyes lit up.

He now looked like a child seeing a wrapped Christmas present, full of anticipation and excitement.

"Yes."

The Mediterranean uncle found that he had finally found a place where he could show his presence. He proudly introduced it to Nanaya, "This is our company's latest IMAX digital camera and its supporting equipment."

"It's amazing."

Nanaya said excitedly, stroking the outer shell of the equipment box excitedly.

Ever since the success of the IMAX version of "Goblin Slayer", Hollywood film producers have finally begun to pay attention to this special format giant screen.

This is like a blessing in disguise for IMAX, a company that has been struggling since the 1990s.

It's just that those Hollywood film producers are all businessmen. They want to take advantage of IMAX's popularity, but they don't know much about IMAX movies themselves, nor do they want to know about them.

Therefore, the IMAX movies produced in recent years are basically following the example of "Goblin Slayer", hastily making a 12.0 channel sound system and then hastily releasing it.

This result somewhat discouraged IMAX, which felt that its technology was a kind of visual art. Although they did not oppose the commercialization of their technology, they were very disappointed by Hollywood's crude use of it.

It just so happens that Nanaya is currently filming UBW.

He wanted this crucial film to be perfect, so he applied to IMAX, hoping to use IMAX cameras to shoot some of the battle scenes.

This made IMAX very happy. The story of "Goblin Slayer" has made IMAX understand the importance of a highly influential commercial film to promote its own technology.

So without even a second's hesitation, IMAX agreed to Nanaya's request.

In fact, in Nanaya's previous life, IMAX took exactly this route.

The movies that helped promote it quickly were Nolan's "The Dark Knight" and James Cameron's "Avatar".

In order to make the filming of Nanaya as smooth as possible, IMAX not only shipped two IMAX digital cameras from North America, but also sent a technical team to the Fate crew.

This is to ensure the operation of the expensive IMAX cameras and their maintenance during the filming process.
