In late June, Natalie Portman temporarily left New Zealand and returned to Los Angeles to participate in the promotional activities of the crew of "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones".

Twentieth Century Fox and Lucasfilm moved the release date to the first weekend in July, avoiding The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

"Didn't Lucasfilm invite you!"

Avi-Allard looked at Ryan, who had just finished filming, and asked, "I thought you would go back with Natalie to the premiere of Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones."

"I think so too, but unfortunately I don't have time." Ryan rubbed his shoulders and said, "I want to ensure the filming progress of the crew."

Originally, he wanted to go back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones".

However, I really can't spare the time right now.

"I saw the premiere of this movie." Kevin Feige on the side interjected, "It's not easy to say!"

"It seems that the whole film has basically nothing to watch except for the theme of Star Wars and special effects."

Having said that, he shook his head, somewhat disappointed with this Star Wars series.

Unless you're a Star Wars fan, it's hard for ordinary viewers to get in.

"Obviously, George Lucas is not good at emotional scenes." Avi Allard shrugged, pointing out the biggest shortcoming of the Star Wars series and George Lucas.

The shaping of the film's plot and characters' emotions is very general.

If this film is not one of the Star Wars series and the director is not George Lucas, I am afraid it will face a box office hit.

"Not only George Lucas, but many commercial directors also don't handle emotional scenes very well."

"However, Natalie's acting skills are still very good." Ryan added at the end.

He was very impressed with this film, and Natalie Portman's performance in the film is quite good.

Otherwise, she will not become Padmé-Queen Amidala in the mouth of movie fans,

In contrast, Hayden Christensen, who plays Anakin Skywalker in the film, can be described as clumsy.

Even Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen won the title of Worst Screen Couple in their previous lives.

"Ryan!"

Avi-Allard asked curiously: "Do you think the box office performance of this Star Wars series will threaten the North American annual box office champion of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King?"

As the two most anticipated large-scale commercial films in the summer, the box office results of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" are topics of concern to many people and the media.

"Won't."

Ryan shook his head, and said affirmatively: "With the box office trend of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and the accumulated box office numbers of the film in North America and overseas, it is difficult for any film to surpass it in a short period of time."

If he remembers correctly, "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" is the one with the worst box office and reputation among the Star Wars series, with a global box office of only over 600 million US dollars.

It's not as good as "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", which was released two years ago.

"Actually, the film's premiere box office is still good."

Sofia Coppola couldn't help but reminded: "Thursday alone earned a box office of 30.14 million U.S. dollars, and the box office in the four days of the first weekend was as high as 110 million U.S. dollars."

Judging from the box office of the first weekend alone, it almost reached the box office performance of "Spider-Man" in the first weekend, and it is definitely a blockbuster movie.

But it is not only the first weekend box office that determines a film, but also the audience's word of mouth and the next box office trend.

"It's just that the word-of-mouth of the film is not very good. It may affect the future box office trend." Sofia Coppola sighed.

Even she has to admit that the reputation of "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" is really not very good.

Especially the word-of-mouth of the audience, the negative almost occupies the vast majority.

"The first weekend's box office is only a part, and the next box office trend is the key." Ryan is not very optimistic about the film's box office trend.

Of course, he is just not very optimistic about it, not that the film will fail.

The combination of George Lucas and the Star Wars franchise has almost no chance of failure.

From a business standpoint, it's sure to be a success.

The budget of this film is only 110 million US dollars. In the face of a global box office of 600 million US dollars, it is a successful film no matter what.

However, compared with the previous few Star Wars series films, it is obviously worse.

Much to the disappointment of Star Wars fans.

"I remember that some time ago, George seemed to want you to direct a Star Wars series?" Sofia Coppola seemed to suddenly think of something.

For a moment, the eyes of Avi-Allard and Kevin-Fitch fell on Ryan's face.

Orion Films has cooperated with Lucasfilm, and Ryan himself directed the Star Wars series, a news that is enough to shock Hollywood.

"Is it the next Star Wars prequel trilogy?" Avi-Allard couldn't help asking.

"It's not a Star Wars prequel trilogy, it's not even a true Star Wars franchise."

Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "George deliberately took out the characters and stories in the Star Wars series and filmed them separately."

"It's just that with word of mouth coming out for Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones, I don't think he plans to shoot a sequel for the time being."

In addition, there is another reason. The Star Wars prequel trilogy has not yet been completed, and there is still a Star Wars film that has not been filmed. George Lucas needs to take into account the opinions of 20th Century Fox.

At this time, in cooperation with Orion Pictures, Ryan was asked to direct a Star Wars spinoff, and 20th Century Fox would inevitably come forward to oppose it.

A Star Wars Story!

Kevin Feige suddenly thought of "X-Men", "similar to the attempt on "Wolverine?"

Orion Pictures has already had a "Wolverine" shooting plan, and plans to take out the character Wolverine in the film after the shooting of the three "X-Men" films is over, and start preparing for the filming of "Wolverine".

The Star Wars spinoff film is very similar to the "Wolverine" planned by Orion Pictures.

"Probably." Ryan thought for a while and said, "However, there are many differences between the two. Wolverine itself is one of the main characters in "X-Men", while the Star Wars spin-off films are more based on the help of Star Wars." The plot of the war series, not the characters."

In fact, he has no plans to direct the Star Wars series of films, including the Star Wars spin-off films.

The reason is very simple. Orion Films does not need to cooperate with Lucasfilm, but waits for George Lucas to announce his retirement, and takes the opportunity to buy the copyright of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars series.

At that time, Orion Pictures can prepare the Star Wars spinoff film alone.

That's what Ryan wanted.

On weekdays, as Ryan predicted, "Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones" was affected by word of mouth, and the single-day box office fell sharply.

After four working days, only 30 million US dollars in the box office was collected, and only Monday's box office exceeded 10 million US dollars.

At the same time, the film's overseas box office performance is not very satisfactory.

"Natalie!"

Pushing open the door of the dressing room, Hayden Christensen walked in with a smile on his face, holding a beautiful box in his hand, his eyes fixed on Natalie Portman, with a flash of fascination.

"Why are you here!" Natalie Portman wore a diamond necklace on her smooth and slender neck. Charming lines.

However, a trace of impatience flashed across her face at this moment, and she said, "If there is nothing else, I will continue to put on makeup."

Hayden Christensen didn't seem to mind Natalie Portman's tone, handed the box to her, and said enthusiastically: "Natalie, your birthday present, dear, happy birthday."

Natalie Portman frowned, and instead of reaching out for a gift, she said coldly, "Be careful with your words."

"Plus my birthday was last month."

"Natalie!" Hayden-Christensen's face was cloudy for a while, he took a deep breath, and greedily looked at Natalie-Portman's smooth back, "You can refuse my pursuit. It doesn't matter."

"But this is a request from the crew and 20th Century Fox. I hope you can consider it."

Twentieth Century Fox hopes to create a pair of best screen couples, which can be regarded as one of the promotional selling points of the film.

Hayden Christensen naturally would not refuse, and even vaguely hoped to have a super-friendship relationship with Natalie Portman.

This is a very common publicity method for Hollywood crews, including actors and actresses doing fake shows together, or really dating for a period of time.

But Natalie Portman didn't have any interest, and the crew and 20th Century Fox couldn't force anything.

However, Hayden Christensen was not ready to give up, and wished to put Natalie Portman under him immediately, and taste the taste of Padmé Amidala for himself.

"On-screen couple?"

Natalie Portman stood up, looked at Hayden Christen coldly, and warned: "I hope this is the last time, otherwise I will refuse to participate in the next promotional activities with you."

As she spoke, she walked towards the outside. When she reached the door, Natalie Portman turned around, "I don't know why George chose you to play Skywalker~www.novelbuddy.com~This is Worst decision I've ever seen."

After finishing speaking, she didn't mind Hayden-Kristen's venomous eyes, and left the dressing room directly.

Looking at Natalie Portman's charming back, Hayden Christen felt his face was hot, and said through gritted teeth, "Damn bitch."

"One day, I will make you regret it."

Of course, he can only talk about it. Natalie Portman surpasses him by a lot in terms of status in the crew and Hollywood.

What's more, behind Natalie Portman is Ryan Gosling and Orion Films, an existence he can only look up to.

After a while, Hayden-Kristen regained his composure, and walked out of the dressing room, as if nothing had happened, and greeted the other people in the banquet.

This is a promotional banquet held by 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm. He needs to get to know more people and expand his network.
