Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

Jeff watched as the people slowly dwindled from the studio, the place still had the settings from when it was filmed, and some of the crew was already working on removing them.

"Hello, Jeff!" Ian was delighted to see Jeff walking towards them.

Ian, Mason, Nick, and Raelyn sit in front of a computer with some shots in front of computer effects.

Ian and the others knew why Jeff was there to watch them.

"Ian, everybody looks happy. Is it the aftermath of making a good movie?" he joked.

"Haha... No, more like, many breathe a sigh of relief. But the hard part starts now!" Ian replied.

After chit-chat with Ian, Jeff also talks to Lucas and Raireen, and then the whole team starts watching the last computer effects shot.

This shot is the final version of the final act, the scene where the film reaches its climax.

【Video played on the small screen】

"So... What do you think, Mr. Sanson?" asked Ian.

"I love everything you've done with Avatar.

Ian saw a "but" coming from miles away.

"But?" he asked.

"However, I think because Goofy is a family-friendly company, I think it would be better if there wasn't something too 'scary' or dark in the movie.

And just like that, Ian understood what he was explaining, and after a brief discussion, which included them coming back to the scene and talking about it, Jeff explained that he didn't like the burning scene.

“...... I think it's a little too emotional for the audience," Jeff said.

"I don't actually agree with changing it. Because it's basically the core of the plot. It is simply impossible to change. Ian explained.

After a little explanation, the CEO left, reluctantly agreeing with Ian's statement.

Ian then sent the footage to Lucas for final VFX and computer effects reproduction and editing.

[At Reina Studio]

On the second day of finalization, for two and a half months, Ian has been in and out of the studio without even taking a break in between.

Currently, Ian and Nick are in the office, looking at some of the scenes that have been filmed and Ian has previously written down to see if the final cut is good enough.

"These avatars are honestly interesting, although I wanted to say that before, and now I remember how they were weird in the first place. Nick said.

"yes, okay. Considering that the Avatars have eyebrows and five fingers on their hands and feet, while the Na'vi have only four fingers and no eyebrows, and that the Avatars also have wider chests and arms that appear more "muscular", you could say that they are weird. Oh - please look at this scene," Ian said, pointing to the scene he wanted to check again.

"Should I ask Murphy to bring some coffee?" asked Nicole.

"Okay, of course. I'll check it," Ian said as he clicked on the folder he wanted to open.

"Final Cut - Scene 65 - Close-up

" He pressed the "Enter" key to open the file.

"Look where we are, Grace," Jack muttered to himself.

Grace's eyes snapped open, and she looked up at the mother tree in amazement.

With a pale smile on her face, Grace said, "I need to take some samples," she said.

Moat then instructed them to place the two bodies between the roots of the altar rock, and Moat touched Jack's shoulder, and he took a step back.

"The Great Mother may choose to save everything she has now

—" Moat's hand pointed to Grace's head—

"in this body," Moat muttered to himself.

The camera then focuses on Jack, who has just realized the gravity of what she said.

Since there are several shots of the same scene, this is a close-up shot of their facial expressions.

"Is that possible?" asked Jack.

"Probably, yes. She must pass through the Eye of Ava - and return. But Jack—she's very weak," Grace whispered.

Jack suddenly knelt beside Grace and took her small human hand in the avatar's hand.

"Wait a minute, they'll heal you," he said to make her hear.

Barely conscious, Grace took his hand.

"I—always holding back. But you gave them your heart. I'm so proud of you, Jack," she said in a very weak voice.

Jack's throat tightened with excitement, and Grace's eyes filled with a strong light, even though her voice was weak.

"Ka!" came Ian's voice.

"Damn, this shot is so good. That emotion, that sadness, my heart really stinged," Ian muttered to himself.

"I heard someone needs coffee!uh—are you talking to yourself?" Leyreen walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"I think I am, but thank you for the coffee. Needed so much," Ian said, taking a sip.

"Fuck, my tongue" coffee burned his tongue, but he didn't want to show it.

"How's it going?" said Niko as he walked into the studio.

"It's good, it's really good. "

What's that?" asked Leylin, looking like it had fallen from the sky.

Both Ian and Niko turned to look at her.

"Coffee or camera?!" she gasped dramatically.

"Both!" Ian and Niko said simultaneously.

"I'm really glad Mr. Fremond agreed to the soundtrack. I'll have to pay a visit anyway, and considering how much we ask of him, I'm sure the perfect soundtrack will take most of the time. Even more time than computer effects and VFX," Ian muttered.

"I doubt it, VFX takes a lot of time," Rainen said.

"I'm going to say Ian is right," Nick sided with Ian.

"Okay, let's see. Who's in the future, right?" muttered Ian.

Ian has his ideas and theories, and he can prove to himself that in the current situation, music takes more time than computer special effects.

Of course, he knew that in the original film, any scene related to Zoe Saldana was done 100% simultaneously on the body, face, and voice. It took a year to capture all of them and transmit them to Knightley.

Some computer effects scenes took an average of 47 hours to render, but here Ian helped with sketches and many other things, making it easy to create the character of Knightley.

The only thing the VFX and computer VFX teams needed to do was render the characters into digital characters.

On the other hand, James Horner, the composer of the original film, said that it was his toughest film and the biggest challenge of his career.

He said in an interview that he has been focusing on music from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

It also means that over the next few months, Ian may have to focus on the film while sharing other projects with Mason and the other directors.

"Let's see, no matter what, we're going to be busy after today. Honestly, I can't wait to see the final product, and I even mentioned it before, and that's what I think," Reelin said with a deep breath.

"Reireen, what if I ask what this movie is about?" Niko questioned Reireen.

"Random, but it doesn't matter. I would say the story is about aliens, which is the impression given to humanity in this movie. Humanity invades and exterminates a group of peaceful local inhabitants with absolute superiority... It's like 'alien', so, you see what I mean?" Leylin replied, causing both of them to raise an eyebrow in surprise.

"That's a good point. More like, the unexpected comes from you. I thought you were just saying 'let's see the world through the lens,'" Ian said mockingly.

"Trust me, it's part of my job description," she replied.

"yes, let's get back to work. I need to get all these checks done by tomorrow so you guys can take it from there more easily. Ian said. Then they went back to work.

Ian knew how difficult the process of making a music track could be, so Mr. Fremont, a well-known and experienced musician, struck a deal with Rayner Studios to help with the project.

He is a man in his 40s who still has a deep passion and good taste for music and background music tracks.

Since he was awarded the contract, Ian and Fremont have been spending time creating music that is suitable for Avatar.

After filming, Ian met with Fremont, who was already working on Avatar at the time.

During these sessions, Ian explains what kind of music he wants, which usually becomes Fremont's main help, considering how Ian knows he certainly knows what he wants.

Other times, Fremont would make some adjustments to the film's music, and the director or other teammates would help with some adjustments from time to time. But this... is a rare case.

"I'm sure we need more coffee," Nick said, watching the camera one by one with Ian.

Mason Strriver is in the office of Angela Bird, the wife of Jackson Corella, CEO of Cool Wave Pictures.

"It's a pleasure to meet you in person, Mr. Strive," Angela greeted him with a polite smile.

"You too, you'll be nostalgic after a long meeting for something related to your next project, and at the same time happy to see you back," Mason replied with a smile.

While Angela Bird and Mason never worked together, they met once or twice — and a few times when Angela was working in the industry.

"yes, it feels good to start with something new, what about Mr. Reina?"

"Oh yes, Ian should be here at all times, considering how much work he decided to do yesterday, I think he spent the night in the VFX editing room, so what are your plans for Resident Evil?" asked Mason.

"Well, like I said, it's going to be an adaptation of the script and I'll write it. I'm almost done with the script too, yes, the rest... You know that," she said.

Since Ian was busy with the Avatar project, during the filming of the Avatar, Ian and Angela had a conversation about the Resident Evil project she had always wanted to work on.

After reading the book, she wanted to make a comeback in the industry. So, she and Ian discussed the details and agreed that it would be co-produced by Cube Pictures and Rena Studios.

According to their agreement, Kubo Pictures will put in more considering that it is the CEO's wife who directs the film.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. Ian saw Angela's relieved smile and walked inside.

"Ah, no problem, Ian, I heard you're working your new project. Angela said.

"Well, it's been a busy few days, because it's just the beginning, so I need to take a closer look, it's actually going well, how are you doing? Ian sat down and said.

Mason smiled and nodded, while Angela replied, "I'm already great."

"yes, so let's get started. My deal ended briefly. The IP of Resident Evil will be in charge of Ian Renner, but the movie will be yours and you can do whatever you want. But, again, I emphasize, "I want to talk about royalties." And, I'm ready to help in any way because it's going to be another project at Raina Studios and I'm going to be the producer," Mason said as he leaned back in his chair.

"yes, okay, let's talk about the copyright fee at the end, and the pre-production will start next week, and we will discuss the time and set the time for the audition. Angela said with a smile.

"Ready?" asked Ian.

"Yes, yes. And what I want to discuss is the story. You mentioned that you have suggestions for the story, right?Can we talk about them now

?"Okay, the thing is, I have a plan for Resident Evil, more like I've had since I wrote the novel-

" "What kind of plan, if I may ask?" "I

think Resident Evil would do better in another franchise. And, I don't want to risk anything by oversharing, so let's believe it. About the movie..."

Ian began to explain to her the negative reviews that the original world film received, critics liked how bad the action was and how terrible it was, and the film got some very disappointing reviews.

He had a different idea, and he wanted Angela to make a film that would change Ian's overall personal idea of the film.

After that, he would do what Resident Evil did better, a video game franchise.

In addition, Ian discusses creative planning, mainly plot.

The discussion went on for a few more hours, considering that they had to describe every detail that Angela had in mind and Ian's suggestion.

Ian wanted Resident Evil to be a scarier movie than the one he had in mind, and he wanted the perfect entertainment, horror-thriller adventure, as he felt when he wrote the novel.

"In addition, there are some iconic things that I would like to mention to fit the film. Characters such as Wesker, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield, and Leon should be very similar to the characters in the book. It's going to be something I have planned, so these subtle things... It would be great if you could keep them for the movie," Ian said.

Angela nodded in understanding.

After a long silence, she cleared her throat and asked, "If you can tell me, I'll do my best." I think the description of the characters in the book itself is already clear.

"yes, well, Wesker... His iconic sunglasses will be admired, like Jill Valentine's hair, Claire Redfield, and Chris's looks... And Leon, I hope this guy looks like a badass like in the books. It shouldn't be exaggerated, but it would be nice if his personality was subtly displayed enough to give a glimpse of it. Then, the performance... I'd love to audition, but I don't think my schedule will take into account that I have more plans in mind, like a new movie that comes to mind, feel free to be clear -"

Angela and Mason let out an "oh" together.

"Well, yes, since I know you're going to go with an A-list actor, acting isn't a big deal. The other thing is stunts, because it's an action, thriller and horror game, like stunts can be great if taken properly," Ian said.

Although he wanted to point out everything that came to his mind at the moment, he couldn't.

He couldn't let the woman in front of him think that he was belittling her accomplishments.

So, without much explanation, he stayed.

"Well, yes, we're all on the same page. One of the things I admired about you from the beginning was how clear you were about these acts, one way or another..."

The meeting ended with Mason retaining the Resident Evil intellectual property but selling the Resident Evil film production license, at the expense of royalties for each film, which will be based on a percentage of the box office.

Walking out of the office, Mason's mind was clouded by another event – "will she be able to execute this project successfully, considering how long it has been since she has been directing?".

-

A man in a leather jacket with a strip of denim walks down the stairs.

There were people around him – in a grocery store.

Some are talking, some are picking groceries, and there is even a man and a woman flirting in the middle of the store.

This person is none other than Ryan Gosling.

His eyes were calm and he didn't say a word, pushing a cart with milk, eggs, and other things.

He walked all the way to his destination, the fruit stand, and was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.

*Smack!*

Out of nowhere, a short girl in a long yellow dress appeared, and the slap landed on his right cheek, and his face turned red because of the force of the slap.

"What the fuck are you trying to do?!" Ryan saw the lady and immediately stopped the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Oh yes?!I see you talking to the woman over there!Hey, woman, this is my boyfriend?!" she shouted, turning her eyes to Ryan.

He looked around in embarrassment. "

Shhhhhh

"That's my mom!" Ryan didn't know what to say, considering how many pairs of eyes were focused on them.

"Cut! That's a good shot! Ryan, well done! Take a few minutes to eat lunch!" said the director, who was sitting behind the monitor, causing everyone to nod and whisper.

"Well done, kid!" Tristan said enthusiastically.

Tristan is Ryan's agent, and since Ryan played La La Land, his fame has increased by millions.

He received offers from many famous directors to star in the films they were making. Many of the films he was asked to make were romantic comedies.

After everything his agent went through, they finally agreed to Beyond Life, which is also a romantic comedy.

However, both the story and the director had a promising future in his career, so they agreed, and by this time the film had been filming for two months.

"I didn't expect you to come here today, is there anything new?" Ryan asked after taking a bottle of water and drinking it down.

"Yes, Murphy called in the morning," Tristan said, Ryan's eyes widening.

"Murphy, Ian's assistant

, right?" "yes, Ian seems to be asking you to meet, and I'm thinking of scheduling you because you're only making one movie right now. Tristan smiled slightly.

"Why do you even ask me?!!do it!" he said with a laugh.

"Haha... I knew it, I just wanted to see your reaction with my own eyes. "
