48. Horse Whisperer

But Rowan is really attracted to Spider-Man.

This was his childhood dream.

After thinking for a while, Rowan suddenly had an idea."Since buying from these two companies will cause trouble, why don't I just solve it directly from the source of copyright?"

'I remember correctly that Marvel also went bankrupt...

Yes in 1999 Sony will buy spiderman for 7 million dollars while Marvel was ready to sell all of its characters for just 25 million dollars. So he has enough time to make money for now.'

After flying for half a day, they finally arrived in Livingston, Montana.

The town is not big and the scenery is very nice. Riwan feels it is much better than the one in Mexico.

After meeting with the crew, the rented nanny car followed behind to the hotel booked by the crew.

On the way, Rowan admired the scenery of the town and casually asked the second bodyguard who was resting in the passenger seat "Have you been here before?" "No, but I looked in the travel brochure."

Bodyguard No. 2 raised the brochure and said, "I am very excited about what is described above. There are special grassy and picturesque alpine valleys. Skiing is very popular here in the winter. There are regular ski slope activities and special Nordic ski slopes."

"There's also a lot of kayaking and whitewater rafting on the Gallatin River here in the canyon area of town."

"Hiking through the Gallatin National Forest, which offers numerous camping sites and the opportunity to see wildlife such as elk and deer, is also a great option."

"By the way, it's only 15 miles from Yellowstone National Park."

Neither driver was a talkative person, but they talked endlessly about the scenery.

Rowan smiled and said, "I will give you some time off. You can bring your family over to play then."

Both bodyguards nodded.

The driver controlled the speed steadily and said with a smile "Boss, this job is pretty good. I can travel around at public expense."

Rowan smiled and agreed, "That makes sense. I plan to take on more roles around the world so that I can see the world's scenery for free when I'm young."

The driver laughed and said, "That way we can take advantage of the boss."

They drove to the hotel chatting and laughing.

The female assistant and the driver went to pack their luggage, while Rowan found the crew members to report.

Rowan has already signed the contract.

A minor supporting role with lines + action director.

The total salary is $50,000.

There's nothing to be dissatisfied about.

If you want to "raise money by listing", you also have to have real achievements to stimulate the "stock market"

Although it doesn't cost much, it doesn't take much time either, and it can be done in a few days.

If every movie was like this, Rowan estimated that he could make 20 to 30 movies a year.

It's actually quite boring to just go with the volume. Twenty or thirty films are not as good as Bruce Willis's income from one film, which is '20 million + 20%'.

But even a big star like Bruce Willis ended up working for a big company.

In order to become a boss faster, Rowan immediately got to work and received a detailed script and a dozen action design drafts.

He looked at the script first.

In short, it is a story about a married woman named Anne whose daughter was forced to have her leg amputated after a serious horse riding accident. Anne took her daughter and the injured horse to a single man named Tom for treatment, and they fell in love during this time.

Let's refine the key words: depression, animal protagonists, love triangle, romance, dysfunctional family, road trip, culture clash and romantic love.

After reading these keywords, Rowan knew how to work.

Equestrianism is not the point.

In this movie, the horse is just a tool.

Horses and the beautiful natural scenery of Montana are tools used to create atmosphere and mood.

You don't need to show great riding skills, as long as there are no major bugs.

For example, dead muscles and live muscles appear in sports movies.

After communicating with director Robert Redford, the director confirmed that Rowan's idea was correct.

Director Robert Redford was enthusiastic "We think the same thing."

"In fact, there is a bit too much in the original book. Movie production is limited by the length, and many sequences need to be edited for length. It is impossible to spend time on training elements."

The original work of "The Horse Whisperer" is a novel.

The author spent several weeks traveling in the West, met three remarkable knights, and collected materials to create the novel bit by bit.

The novel and the film are different in Iength.

"Trade-offs are something that must be done in adaptation."

Robert Redford said "Just extract the core elements, delete the unimportant ones, and make the complicated patterns simple... I think I have said too much."

Rowan smiled and said, "No, I gained a lot."

Robert Redford looked at him and asked "Are you interested in working behind the scenes as well?"

"Many people who have just entered the industry find it fresh and want to give it a try."

Rowan asked, "So what is my mission?"

Robert Redford stated "We need to design some romantic actions, and then we need to ensure the safety of the set. I heard that you are a great horseman, so this shouldn't be difficult for you?"

Rowan gave an OK sign.

It's more than easy.

It's no different than not asking for anything.

Rowan would not feel uneasy.

He knew the reason very well. The Horse Whisperer chose him just to attract traffic, and work was secondary.

Fifty thousand dollars is an alternative publicity and promotion fee.

Rowan is used to being rubbed.

Since you are being taken advantage of, there is no need to feel uneasy just because there is little work.

Of course, Rowan did not slack off.

He still came to the place seriously and found the actors he was going to work with.

It was a 13-year-old girl who played the role of the daughter with amputation.

She was only in middle school, but she looked like a grown-up girl. She extended her hand to Rowan with grace and confidence "Scarlett Johansson."

Rowan gave her a light shake of his hand "Rowan."

After being dignified for a while, Scarlett took out a notebook from somewhere and said, "Mr. Rowan, can you sign it for me?"

"Of course."

He has been asked for autographs many times, including on the set. Rowan signed calmly "Just call my name."

"Then call me Scarlett."

I don't know if it's because of her precocity or family influence, but Scarlett has good communication skills.

In no time, she became familiar with Rowan and asked him questions out of curiosity.

Ask about The Mask of Zorro, ask about the Great Robbery, ask what it's like to be a child prodigy...

It feels really good to have a beautiful girl looking up at you with her big, bright, twinkling eyes, and Rowan doesn't feel annoyed at all.

But he keep being asked questions and he always feel like he is being led by the nose.

It would be fine if it was Mary, but a 13-year-old girl? Too embarrassing!

Rowan asked "Scarlett, I think this role is very difficult. Have you thought about how to play it now?"

Amputation, depression... Once these settings are added, the difficulty increases several times.

As far as Rowan is concerned, this is much more difficult than the role of the protagonist brother he played in "Good Will Hunting".

"I am ready."

Scarlett is full of confidence "Last year, I played a little girl who lost her parents in "Manny & Lo", and I was nominated for the Best Actress at the 12th Independent Spirit Awards for this role!"

"Rowan, it seems you haven't been nominated for an award yet?"

Scarlett looked at him in feigned confusion.

Rowan: "..."

"Stop talking nonsense and start training!"

"Don't be angry, I believe you will be able to do it in the future."

The girl smiled and began training.

She had been training for a while and her movements were quite good.

But after getting on the horse, her petite body stiffened.

"I'm still a little scared."

Scarlett looked at Rowan timidly "Rowan, can you come up with us?"

Rowan's first reaction was to refuse "This is not good."

He didn't want any bad rumors to spread.

Scarlett said confidently "You are not even 18 years old, what is there to be afraid of? Are you afraid of me?"

I have to say that this reason is very powerful, and it even involves provocation.

But Rowan was not fooled "Let me Iead the horse and help you get used to it."

"All right."

Scarlett looked reluctant.

After walking slowly for a while, the girl started again "Rowan, we are good friends, right? I have never tried riding a horse. You are a hero, a Zoro. You can surely satisfy the little wishes of a poor little girl like me, right?"

"please~"
